ShikadaiXInojin

So, Are You Dating?

Chocho raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, but also amused. "Wow..."

Shikadai glanced at her, his arms crossed. "Now you believe us?"

Chocho grinned and nodded. "Yep! I wasn't expecting all that, but now I get it."

Inojin sighed in relief, wiping his brow. "Okay, well, glad we got that cleared up."

Chocho looked between the two of them, her eyes narrowing playfully. "So, like... are y'all dating now?"

Inojin hesitated, unsure how to answer. He scratched the back of his head. "Um..."

Shikadai, never one to shy away, answered quickly with a confident nod. "Yes!"

Chocho and Inojin exchanged a quick glance, a mix of surprise and amusement on their faces.

"You two would actually make a really good couple," Chocho said with a grin. "I mean, seriously, it just fits."

Inojin chuckled softly, still processing the whole situation. "Yeah... I guess it does."

Shikadai glanced at both of them, feeling a bit more at ease now. "Thanks, Chocho," he said with a faint smile.
