Tears and talks

After much convincing, you finally left your house for the first time in two weeks after having a bit of a depressive episode. Your dad told you about all your friends that came to check up on you everyday, but the only one he ever let come in was your best friend, Ino.

She showed up, happier than ever, giving you a report on things happening around the village since you had no idea.

"Tenten's throwing a party tonight," she said with a nonchalant shrug, but you could tell she was excited.

"Oh yeah? You should go," you smiled slightly.

"No, no. I promised I'd sleepover with you!"

"It's fine. You go, and have fun."

"Really?" She asked with an apologetic grin.

"Yeah, it's totally fine. I understand."

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She squeaked. "Oooh, I have an idea! Come with me."

"Ehhh. I don't really know about that. I'm still not at my 100% best, ya know?" You said, attempting to decline.

"Shikamaru will be there."

Shit. Ino knew you liked him, how dare she use that against you?

"Okay, I've changed my mind, I'm going to that party."

Ino came back later that night so she could help you pick out something to wear, and so you could walk to the party together.

"What about this dress? It's super cute and it brings out your (e/c) eyes," she suggested, holding up a dress in your favorite color. But there was one issue, it was sleeveless.

"Do you think I could wear a sweater over it?"

"I mean you could, but it'd look kinda dumb. It's not the type of dress you wear a sweater with." She shrugged. "But you do you."

You knew Ino was right about it looking dumb, so you sighed and said, "Nevermind."

You continued looking through your closet until you came across a long sleeve shirt that you hadn't worn in a while.

"I think I'll just wear this with some leggings," you shrugged.

Just being outside again made you feel a little bit excited, but you were also very nervous. You knew all your friends would be there and they'd be wondering where you were or what happened.

As soon as you crossed the threshold, your ears were filled with a bunch of people screaming your name.

"(Y/n)?!"

"Guys, it's (Y/n)!"

"Hey, (Y/n), long time no see."

"(Y/n)! Hey, girl!"

You awkwardly waved at everyone who said hi to you before finding a quiet place on the couch. Everyone was having such a good time, but not you. You were, of course, really glad to have left the house, but you still weren't feeling your best. The only reason you came was for Shikamaru, and you didn't even see him.

"Hey, (y/n)! I can't believe you're here! Woah, it's been forever. How are ya?"

You felt the couch dip on your left side and looked over to see a grinning Naruto.
