Chances (Modern!Naruto Various x reader) {Disconnected}

Coffee

Soon enough, school ended without much trouble. I had Naruto with me in gym last period so we discussed 'goofball' night. Gai sensei had hurt himself during lunch somehow, which meant we had a free class...other than talking to Naruto, the only thing I remember about class is seeing Rock Lee crying.

Naruto ran off to football practice as soon as the bell rung. I walked out the school building and made my way to my car to wait for Shika there. I grabbed my phone, still having to read all the messages I received over the weekend. Buuut I'll do that later. I went into Konan's chat.

'(Y/N): Naruto is sleeping over. Goofball night is very much needed
Also I'm heading out with Shika. I'll tell you everything when I get home.'

I had just pressed sent and made it to my car when-

"(Y/n), let me explain!" Sakura jumped out of no where.

"Ahhh!" I yelled in fright.

"(Y/n)...you weren't suppose to see Sasu-"

"Cheating on me with you? Yeah, you're right. Cause he shouldn't have cheated on me...especially not with my best friend, you fucking traitor." I hissed.

"I am so sorry...I can not put into words how sorry I am." She started tearing up.

"Then shut the fuck up and get the fuck out of my way. Just talk to me about the project, nothing else. You try say anything more, I'll break you like you broke my heart." I added more and more venom, intentionally trying to hurt her with my words.

Silently she looked down defeated before nodding her head and stepping aside. I got to the car angrily.

'Trying to fucking apologise...It won't do sh-" I tried opening the car door but I just ended up tugging the door handle too hard and hurting my shoulder. '-urg, locked.'

I grabbed my keys from my bag and fiddled with the bunch, hoping to get the right one alone in my hands as I stared at it. Before I could insert the key into the door someone grabbed me from either side of my shoulders and dragged me away.

"Shikamaru! My car!"

"That's not your car...the number plate is wrong." He said blankly as we walked to his old Mercedes convertible.

That's when I remembered that Konan had given me a lift to school.

'But then who's (F/c) Ford Feista is that...' I looked behind me and waited to see the owner. Suddenly Principle Tsunade walked out and instantly dashed for the car and jumped in and drove off. 'Holy shit...'

Shikamaru opened the passenger door for me, mumbled about what a drag it was and closed the door for me once I was seated in the light grey car. He dragged his feet as he walked around the car and got into the driver seat. He started the ignition and reversed in one quick and swift motion and darted forward and out the school parking lot. We heard hooting and I looked behind me to see Dei in the car behind ours hooting and trying to gain our attention. When he met my eyes he stopped hooting and waved enthusiastically with a bright grin. I laughed and gave a small wave back. I sat back down, facing forward and looked at Shikamaru. He was glaring at his rear view mirror. Before I could ask, he continued driving.

Soon we stopped by a café and climbed out. We were taken to a table in the back near the windows and left alone with the small but cute menu card.

"I'll just have black coffee." Shika didn't spare the menu a glance. I looked at him over the menu but said nothing as I continued reading over the menu.

The waiter came back. He was a timid little thing, though he looked older than me. He had jet black hair and one visible grey eye, the other one was hidden behind a white medical eye patch.

"W-what can I get for you?" The waiter asked.

"Can I get two cups of coffee. One black and one (coffee preference or tea, its all up to you). Then can I also get two separate slices of (favorite pie/cake)." I spoke up before Shika could say anything...he probably wasn't cause he was just too lazy to sometimes. 

"Certainly." The waiter jolted the order down and gave a charming smile. "Coming up in a second."

The waiter walked away to go to the...coffee bar? I don't know.

"How are you feeling?" Shika asked.
"Not bad. Konan and her boyfriend have really helped me this past weekend."

"You know that just means you're a ticking time bomb, right? " He said glancing towards the window as the waiter returned and handed us our hot beverages and baked goods. The waiter smiled and left.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Shikamaru took a sip of his coffee before answering me.

"I'm guessing that between the time of you finding out and Konan coming to the rescue, you had a hard cry. Maybe even feeling absolutely crushed."

I nodded.

"That was probably the last time you had a hard ass cry." He took another sip, calmly. "Meaning you've bottled up all this raw emotions. Sooner or later, something is gonna set you off and you'll go insane...in a sense."

"Well, all I know is I feel more angry now than anything." I managed a bite of my food, my apatite suddenly disappearing.

"Tell me how it happened."

So I told him everything.

"So you walked in on them...that's definitely not what I wanted to hear." He scratched behind his neck.

"How would you have preferred to find out!?" I frowned my eyebrows.

He just shrugged.

"You can't be serious, Shika!" I fought with him.

"Keep it down, you loud woman." He closed his eyes but I noticed a soft smile. He opened his dark eyes and looked into my soul. "You're a strong, girl. You're bound to have a breakdown soon but know you have your friends here. If its the ridiculous hours of the morning and you need someone, give me a call and I'll be there for you." He leaned back lazily in his seat.

"Yeah and then you'll spend the rest of your life complaining about how I woke you up." I laughed.

"Most likely." He agreed with a chuckle, causing me to laugh more.
For another hour or so, we sat there speaking about his family or my family or school or video games or debate on several things.

Overall I enjoyed it.
