Shikamarus pov
"welcome home shikamaru-San" neji said as soon as I walked through the door.
I truly feel like I'm in love with neji but I often find myself questioning that. I sometimes wonder if I just feel close to him as a brother and that I'm too contact starved to realise. To figure that out I try to get closer to him every day.
"neji darling may we try something new?" I asked.
He turned to me with a curious look "sure what would you like to try shikamaru?"
I took a step closer to him "I want to kiss you"
His eyes lit up excitedly "I'd love to kiss you!"
I felt nervous about this but I needed to know if my feelings were real. I gently cupped his face and pulled him into a kiss. I could feel fireworks go off in my mind. I don't think any confused feelings could mask the happiness I'm feeling right now.
I pulled away and neji frowned "did you not like it love?" I asked nervously.
"no I liked it but you smell really sweaty shikamaru" he wiggled his nose.
"Well I was working quite hard today" I chuckled. They've been keeping me on longer work hours lately. It's been exhausting and don't get to spend as much time with my beloved as I'd like.
Neji smiled up at me "you need a bath! I'll go run you one" he ran to the bathtub. I smiled to myself. He's such a good boy.
I walked to the bathroom where neji was filling a bath. I walked up and wrapped my arms around him "will you join me in the bath love?"
"mmm ok" he turned to me with a smile "I'll have to tie my hair up though so it doesn't get get wet"
"ok love don't take too long!"
Neji tied his hair up and we hopped in the bath together. I held him close as we helped wash each other. He had his hair tied up in a high ponytail with some loose strands at the front. I never realised how nice his hair looked when it was up.
"your hair looks really nice when it's up neji" I said kissing his cheek.
"shikamaru" he turned to me suddenly "I want to see you with your hair down"
"now neji I don't think that's nesasary" I said patting my spiky ponytail.
"shikamaru show me!" he said pouncing on me suddenly.
"ahhhhh"
*five minutes later*
"wow shikamaru your hair looks really nice when it's down" neji giggled.
I sighed. I would not do this for anyone other than him.
"let's watch some nature documentaries" neji said pulling my arm.
"alright alright you don't have to drag me" I chuckled.
So we both sat in the living room. Neji lay down on the carpet with his nightgown on and his legs in the air while he ate a bag of crisps and I sat on the sofa. The two of us watched TV together until it was time to go to bed.
Seeing neji snuggled in my chest made me realise that these feelings I felt were real. I was in love.
