A/n SHIP!!! Shikamaru and Neji! If u don't ship, skip!

Neji POV:

My friend and I were sitting on a bench at the park. He kept complaining about every little thing. The temperature, the wind, the noises.

"Shikamaru!" I said, suddenly. He looked up at me, alarmed. "What?"

"Stop complaining! It gets annoying." 

He shrugged. "Sorry. There's a lot to complain about."

"Well, stop," I snapped. "People are going to think you're a whiner. I mean-You are, but you don't want to tell people right off the bat."

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Okay, smart-guy." He said, crossing his legs. "Tell you what? I'll stop if you..." He paused, and then grinned. "Admit you have feelings for me!"

I went red. "I-I do not!" I muttered. How could this imbecile think I like him? It's not like he's what I think about at night or anything...

Shikamaru hummed in response.  "I guess, if you're too stubborn to admit..."

I blushed. "I am not stubborn! And I don't like you!" I yelled. He seemed amused.

"You do realize I have an IQ of over 200, right?"

I didn't respond. "Well...I-"

"And don't say you don't like guys. I saw how you used to look at Lee." He muttered. I blushed harder, thinking about the crush I'd had on Lee over two years ago.

"How'd you know I used to like him?" I asked, cautiously. 

Shikamaru shrugged. "It was obvious, honestly. To me, anyway. You're, like, the definition of a tsundere." 

"Am not!" I protested. 

He smiled slightly. "Whatever," He paused. "You still haven't admitted it."

"Because there's nothing to admit!" I snapped and tossed my hair behind my back.  Shikamaru sighed rather dramatically, and stood up. "Fine. Even if you won't admit you like me it'd be cruel to sit here and complain." 

I stared at him. For once, I was speechless. I forget that I'm related to Hinata, and am hopeless when it comes to crushes.

For a moment Shikamaru didn't say anything, just stuck his hands in his pokcets and stared away from me. 

"Okay," I muttered, looking down. "Okay what?" He asked.

"Okay I admit it!" I said, flustered. I looked back up, expecting disgust.

But Shikamaru just smiled. "Admit what?"

"I-" I knew he was playing me, but, honestly, I did like him. He already knew, and was just toying with me now. What did I have to lose?

"I like you." I said, proudly. Shikamaru seemed generally surprised I'd said it.

I thought he'd just laugh in my face, but he did something I'd never seen him do before. he blushed, and seemed to act shy. 

"You know," He said, looking back at me, regaining confidence. "What?" I aske.

"That's funny, because I like you, too." He smiled, and his face was almost as red as mine. He was actually nervous.

I was taken aback, and we just stared at each other for a few seconds. Then, without hesitation, I grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him closer to me. 

"What's this?" He laughed. He was just an inch or two taller.

"You know what it is," I muttered, and leaned upwards as he leaned down.

And we kissed.

It was very sweet, not rough or sexy. Just a kiss, on the lips, not down each other's throats. And then he pulled away and said, "So, Hyuga, does this mean we're boyfriends?" He asked, already knowing the answer.

"I suppose it does," I said, and we kissed again.
