Ryogi and shikadai were standing together on a lookout point.
As always, there was a lot going on in the village.The children were running around the playground,adults drank beer joyfully with their friends
loudly laughing and,older people took a break from the noise in a quiet park.At such a late hour everyone was relieved of stress from work and school.

But not shinobi.

The Shinobi were, as always, very busy at the time."Training of the next generation of ninjas,Security and peace of civilians and friendly contacts with other villages,is more important than rest,,.
That's what Shikadai's father always said to his son.
The boy knew it was true, but he wasn't like a father.He didn't want to work for twenty-four hours without having time for friends.

Friends....

Surely Shikadai could call them Boruto, inoijin, Sarada, Chouchou...

But there are people with whom the relationship is complicated.

One such person is the boy standing next to him.

"

I heard a great joke yesterday at work. It starts with a dog..."

At this point Shikadai did not listen to what Ryogi was saying to him.Leaning against the railing, he stared at boy but didn't hear a thing.
For some time now, he had been seriously considering his feelings for Ryogi...
He wasn't an idiot and he knew he was in love. But he never determined if he would admit his feelings.
When Ryogi laughed, shikadai felt a pleasant feeling on his heart.

"Haloo shikadai, are you all right?"

He was ripped out of his mind by the boy's voice.

"W-What?...Oh, yeah, that's okay." The disordered Shikadai answered

"This is no time to think about it." Shiakadai said to himself in his mind.

Ehhhh...-Ryogi sighed
"What's the matter with you?You seem to be absent from our meetings." Ryogi said in a worried tone.

"I'm sorry, I have a lot of work to do and you know..." -Shikadai didn't really know what to say.
He was angry with himself that Ryogi realized his lack of ability to focus

"You don't have to lie to me." The boy said that very calmly
"I'd like you to treat me as trustworthy as I treat you..." Saying that, he looked Shikadai in the eye...

Ryogi's eyes reflected the light of the setting sun and the wind rocked his pink hair slightly.

The look in his eyes was very clear.

Shikadai looked him in the eye and thought he looked beautiful.
No, he looked terrifying and brave.

But at the same time,he is beautiful

There was a clear blush on the face of the shikadaia.
"I....Ryogi?" He asked me to turn his face.

"What?" Rogi answered in a serious tone, then staring at his friend.

"Have you ever been in love?" "Shikadai didn't believe he asked that question himself.

"W-What?!" The boy suddenly became very red.

"I mean.....did you ever have a girlfriend?" -Shikadai quickly added

"Gir...No, but I was in love...I think so." "Suddenly the boy was sad.

"I see... How did you feel then?" -Shikadai asked.

How did I feel?... And how can you feel when you're in love, but knowing that that person doesn't feel that way? Ryougi looked at the sun with sadness...
