Secrets

Chapter 9

[ • • • ]

Naruto stared at his unbothered friend. Was it really too much to ask?

"Come on Shikamaru! I need this and I don't have the luxury of spending my life savings on it.." The blonde whined, making the other wince out of annoyance.

"Oh? Really? Isn't that crazy, I'll be on my way now."

Shikamaru stood up, unamused and began walking out of the classroom with an Uzumaki chasing after him.

"Shika this is so uncool! You don't remember all the times I helped you? Are you really forgetting that right now?" Naruto whined.

"Listen here Naruto." Shikamaru stopped, wincing when Naruto bumped into him. He turned slowly to face the taller male and stared right into his expecting blue eyes with his emotionless ones.

"I don't fucking care ok? Deal with your love life by yourself, got that? It's not my fucking problem. I've got shit to do, ass to beat and I don't have time for this drama." He scowled and began walking away.

Naruto scoffed. "So when you an Temari-"

Shikamaru snapped his head back and grabbed the collar of Narutos shirt, flinging his fist up and dropping, all the papers he had in his hands.

"You ass! You fucking asshole! You don't bring that shit up over this you- You-" Shikamaru shook, letting go of Naruto. He rarely got pissed off so much to act physically on it but, Naruto triggered a memory he would never want to remember and that pissed him off. So much.

Naruto sighed, looking guilty and apologising with his eyes. "Man I'm sorry but, this situation is similar."

Now Shikamarus full attention sprung to Naruto, and he looked half enraged and half worried. "Dude if you're fucking with me.. I'm going to beat your ass so hard- you wont be able to breathe for weeks, got that?"

Naruto nodded and Shikamaru sighed, picking up all the papers that decorated the floors of the school hallway. Occasionally he looked towards Naruto and made eye contact, only to be met with a smirk that pissed him off so much he could just slap it right off his face.

"So.." Shikamaru cringed.

"Get on with it Naruto, before I really start swinging."

"I'm going to kill you." Shikamaru stated simply, whacking me across the head with his stack of papers- or work but who really cares?

"Oww..." It was only paper but he knew how to fling it, and he flung it hard every time. At this point I'd assume he wants to give me brain damage.

"As if you don't have it already?" Shikamaru scoffed while I stared wide eyed, I can't believe that. We've been friends for so long I shouldnt be surprised everytime he does that, but it freaks me out.

"Yeah okay, Naruto please. I've actually started caring about school so you cannot be wasting my time like this, not anymore" Shikamaru made sure to emphasise the words school and time, considering how last year we were both just troublemakers and knowing that, we would rarely pay attention to anything school related, therefore all our time was spent pranking and playing girls and fucking around.
