yes or no ?

"When it's all over, what's next?" Shikamaru asked as his lover's hands ran through his surprisingly soft raven hair.

"What do you mean, Shika?" her eyebrows rose in confusion.

"When our mission to dismantle the Akatsuki is over, what are you doing?" the night breeze flowed between them.

"I'll be a full-time anbu," she responded, as she tapped the shoulder that had her anbu tattoo.

"Oh,"

"Was that not the answer you wanted to hear?" she chuckled while noticing his lips turned into a slight pout.

"I just had something else in mind," he yawned, the feeling of [y/n]'s hands playing with his hair was making him fall asleep.

"Hmm? And what are you thinking about?" she asked teasingly.

"After these next couple of months, we'll be 18 soon, so I was thinking we move in together," his chocolate eyes now looked deep into her [e/c] ones.

"W-What?!" her voice hitched.

"We both have stable jobs, you'll be bringing in more as an anbu, I think we can do it," he was dead serious, and it honestly shocked [y/n].

"But I have to watch after Sasuke,"

"We'll give him a room,"

"I can barely cook, I can hardly clean, I suck at laundry, I—" she began to ramble about all her flaws, losing focus of Shikamaru's question.

"[y/n], those things improve with practice, and besides I'll be with you, I'll be there to help you," he snapped her out of her overthinking.

"Who even are you?" her voice rose, she could hardly recognize her lazy boyfriend.

"Wh-What?!" Shikamaru choked out.

"Shikamaru, do you have a fever? Are you not feeling well?" her hand quickly found themselves on top of his forehead, checking for a sign of a fever.

"[y/n] I'm serious," he sighed in annoyance, making [y/n] blink blankly at him.

"You want to move in with me? Even if it means being roomies with Sasuke?" she then placed her hands on the sides of his face.

"Yes, [y/n]," he sighed again.

"Well, you don't sound so enthusiastic," she mumbled, crossing her arms in a pouty way.

"Because you keep making me repeat myself!"

"You caught me off guard!"

"It's a yes or no answer!"

"Yes! I do want to move in with you!" she finally confessed, a red tint filled her cheeks.

"Was that so hard?" he rubbed his face, a ghost of a smile on his lips.

"Whatever," she grumbled, a small smile also peaking from her lips. Shikamaru then lifted his torso, grabbing [y/n]'s waist to pull her onto his lap.

"You're so troublesome sometimes, you know that?" he smiled vaguely.

"Let's do it right here under the stars, Shika!" she teased while snaking her arms around his neck.

"I-I rest my case," he laughed a little louder than usual.

"You still love me though," she tilted her head innocently.

"I don't think I could ever stop," he kissed her forehead lightly.

"Cheesy as always," she whispered while placing her forehead on his.

"Like I always say, only for you,"

"I love you," her voice was soft now.

"I love you too," he responded just as gentle.
