"I'm scared I come to care for you
In the heat of a cold beer eve
I'm scared to hold your words true
As they might be at the end what I will grieve.
I'm scared of you
And all the promise you hold
I'm scared of feelings old and new
In fear of your interest running stone cold
I don't know whether I'm wrong to push
Or if I am wrong to want to keep you away
I dont know which is worse
All I know is I'm scared you wont stay
You feel like a dormant dream
You feel like my lurking nightmares
But I know all arent who they seem
And I don't know if that's a disappointment I risk going in too keen.
I'm scared of you
And what this spark holds
We're just a heartbroken two
Who are in angst of what unfolds.
I know your scared of me
My hands along your stitched up soul
Scared of what I might see
When I seek you beyond your gaping hole."
Drama Queen Poet

"You're freaking out."
"I'm not freaking out, you're freaking out." Asami responded, glaring at him from across the Shogi board.
"Asami." Shikamaru said. "Breathe, he'll be fine."
Asami took in a deep breath, closing her eyes and moving around to lean against him. "You should have seen his face, Shika, when he told us. He was terrified. And I know this was a last minute decision. Otherwise he would have told us."
Shikamaru sighed, rubbing her back gently. "I know. But freaking out won't help him. Kohaku will need to get through this dinner, and then you and Ashi can kidnap him."
Asami smirked. "That sounds like fun."
He snorted. "Okay, menace." He moved a piece forward. "Your move."
...
What Kohaku really needed right was a hug.
Tonight's dinner was so awfully awkward, he didn't know what to think about it.
