“bits to use in everyday conversations”
Naruto : It's a moo point!
Sakura : A what now?
Naruto : You know, like a cow's opinion. It doesn't matter. It's a moo!
Sakura :
Shikamaru : Have I been dating him for too long or did all of that just makes sense?
Sakura : You have been dating him for far too long.
ShikaNaru Headcanons
☀️Shikamaru definitely realizes his feelings first and it is 100% an "oh, shit" moment.
☀️I imagine the Nara clan to love not as angrily as the Uchiha, but just as obsessively. Where the Uchiha seek to almost possess, the Nara clan covets knowledge. In this case, Shikamaru wants to know everything about Naruto— no detail is too small.
☀️ I'm not saying Shikamaru is stalking him, but he'd definitely follow him everywhere. Like, he's not trying to hide. Naruto just hasn't noticed because it's... Well, it's Naruto.
☀️And the few times he does notice him it's just— "Wow, what're you doing here Shikamaru? 😀" baby you should be asking why you've seen him ten different times this week and it's only Monday.
☀️Nara Fixation Nara Fixation Nara Fixation Nara Fixation Nara Fixation Nara Fixation, did I say Nara Fixation yet?
☀️Naruto wants for nothing because somehow, Shikamaru always knows exactly what he needs and is able to predict exactly when he's going to need it.
☀️ Naruto never quite realizes the depth of the obsession/love. He's just completely oblivious to the fact that Shikamaru is kind of, slightly, a little bit (maybe a lot a bit) insane. With a cherry on top.
☀️ Lowkey, I am a huge fan of crazy Shikamaru. Like, not outwardly crazy, but "I know your height, weight, regular resting heart rate, wrist diameter, and how many times you've said 'believe it' today" crazy Shikamaru. Knows too much Shikamaru.
☀️Naruto 100% just assumes they're dating after a while of certain details accumulating. Shikamaru feeds him like, daily. Shikamaru has shared a bed with him several times. They spend a lot of time together. They hold hands. Shikamaru knows like, everything about him somehow.
☀️ Naturally, they must've been dating this entire time and Naruto simply didn't notice until now. And because Naruto has zero experience with healthy relationships, he just accepts this as fact and moves on with his life.
☀️ Shikamaru when Naruto grabs him by the face on day, plants a huge kiss on him with no context, and then skips off: 👁️👄👁️
☀️ Come on, it'd be so funny.
☀️ Insert Naruto also knowing a surprising amount about Shikamaru, because he's more attentive than people give him credit for. Shikamaru follows him around so much, of course he learns about him over time. He may be an idiot, but he's not a moron. Or... something like that.
☀️ Naruto is just happy someone actually wants to be around him. Sasuke is Sasuke, Sakura constantly yells at him, Kakashi literally runs, Yamato is only around for training, and Sai just insults him in increasing intervals when they're together.
☀️ Touch-Starved! Naruto vs. Can't get enough of touching him! Shikamaru! Go! Fight!
☀️ Shikamaru "he's never going to love me" Nara and Naruto "I wonder when Shikamaru is gonna propose" Uzumaki
☀️ Naruto just goes to the court house and files the documents himself. Surprise, Shikamaru. Not only does he love you, you've been married for the past four months.
☀️ Alternatively, Shikamaru could pull the same move. Oh, you kissed me on the mouth? Sounds like a proposal to me.
☀️ For a certified genius, Shikamaru would absolutely be the kind of idiot to assume Naruto couldn't ever return his feelings. There could be so much evidence to the contrary and it really WOULD take an entire kiss to the lips to convince him.
☀️ No worries, Naruto is more than willing to oblige.
☀️ Basically um I love them, they're both smart AND stupid in different ways, but they make it work. And nobody can change my mind.
the concept of established relationship Shikanaru except they literally still have the same dynamic they do in canon they just occasionally kiss sometimes
to set the scene: it’s late at night, they’re both waking home
Naruto: Fish. Do they know they're in water. Like is that a thing they're aware of or is it just the whole world, as far as they know.
shikamaru: why??
Naruto: I’ve been thinking about it
Shikamaru: They don't have the cognitive architecture for that kind of self-awareness.
Naruto:how do you know.
shikamaru: because they’re fish.
Naruto: that’s not an answer.
shikamaru: that’s exactly an answer.
Naruto: …you are the most insufferable person ever.
shikamaru: and you ask stupid questions.
Naruto: whatever. Get back home safe, weirdo.
shikamaru: says the person who’s asking if fish are conscious. ..You too, idiot
and then Naruto kisses his cheek and sprints to his apartment and trips on a rock on the way there probably
IDK op, it kinda sounds to me like you've got a problem with getting repercussions for being evil.
@isuggesteatingtherich
be nara shikamaru, 8 yrs old->
get woken up from a delightful little nap at the edge of the nara forest by the oldest and wisest of the deer in the forest, the leader of the herd who he's pretty sure is some kind of spirit if not a minor kami cause normal deer dont have flowering vines blooming from their antlers that can be processed into the most powerful medicines and elixirs in fire county->
be led deep into the forest (sus)->
find a boy collapsed at the edge of your family’s forest. uzumaki naruto to be exact. be incredibly unamused at the entirety of this troublesome situation->
pick a flower at the Elder Deer’s insistence, even though he’s the only deer who will get anywhere near naruto (why do all the animals hate him shikamaru doesnt even see any squirrels and those things fear nothing), and feed it to naruto->
panic because thats a head wound and its bleeding copiously. Stop panicking because he ate the flower and its healing and hes waking up so its fine->
start noticing naruto a lot more (troublesome). realize theres a lot more to him than a mischievous, beaming prankster who laughs too loud and yells about being hokage->
invite him to get ramen at ichirakus with choji. (hes quieter than shikamaru’s ever seen him in class, but he jabbers at the ramen-maker, teuchi, looking happier than shikamaru’s ever seen him, too)->
invite him to get ramen again, this time with choji AND kiba. (hes more combative, but also calmer? Someone to fight with relaxes him? The noise draws a lot of dirty looks though. What a drag)->
invite him to get ramen with choji and kiba, AND go to a different ramen place this time. (when he realizes shikamaru’s not leading them to ichiraku’s, he gets uncomfortable and stops engaging with kiba as much. Comes up with an excuse to get out of eating with them and runs off. What could make naruto turn down ramen?)
try again with just choji. (this goes even worse. Naruto bails earlier than when he was semi-engaged with kiba. Despite the lack of noise, people are still glaring)
try inviting him to get barbeque with choji and kiba. (he doesnt even consider it, turning him down right away with a laugh about a new prank hes planning)
why? (why why why) Change tactics->
observation. cant stalk him. okay walk him home. (eyes on the sky and look only with peripheral vision because people are more honest when they think they arent being watched. why do people keep glaring at them? yeah narutos loud but so’s kiba. And kiba doesnt get glared at like this for walking home. why does naruto know how to keep to the shadows almost as carefully as a nara?)->
Ask him to spar (such a drag). Correct some of his forms here and there cause theyre kinda terrible->
Ask to escape to his place for a nap cause kaa-san has been ornery lately and keeps making him do even more clan-specific training than usual after school (its true but its also a fortuitously convenient excuse)->
Dont fall asleep (fall asleep). Snoop when naruto ends up snoozing beside him (dont think about how nice it feels to have his warmth on the futon). Just a little bit.->
Dont get mad at how much of a dump narutos tiny apartment is (get furious). Theres not enough food in the fridge, and the only thing in the cupboards is rice, some seaweed, and a frankly disturbing amount of cup ramen. Theres mold in the bathroom. The waters cold. The only piece of furniture is a kotatsu->
Dont get mad (since when does he care this much. Being angry is a drag, remember?)
Go about your days. Think->
Get dinner with ino and choji (troublesome, but necessary. The ino-shika-cho formation has been forcibly paired for ‘bonding activities’ at least once a month since they were toddlers). Get interrogated by ino about why hes been paying so much attention to and hanging around naruto. (dont get mad) get mad. Snap at her. Watch her leave in a huff. Be prompted by choji because why IS he spending so much time around naruto lately? What does he want? Choji knows him better than anyone except his parents, almost like a brother. So when he asks, there has to be an answer.
What is the answer? (why IS he doing this? Why is he interested in naruto? Why does he care? Hes a mystery. But what KIND of mystery? A riddle? A puzzle? What kind of answer is shikamaru even looking for?)
He doesnt know. (he found naruto covered in his own blood, passed out in a forest. Nobody helped him. Nobody came. If it hadnt been for the deer, for SHIKAMARU, he would be dead. Why? Why why why)
(he cant get it out of his head. Narutos annoying and loud and too troublesome by half, always getting into some kind of mischief. But he doesnt deserve that. He didnt when they were six and first starting at the academy and he doesnt now)
(what does shikamaru WANT)
He doesnt KNOW
Go to shikaku for a game of shogi. It always helps him think. So he asks ‘What do you do if you have a question and you cant figure out the answer?’
And his father answers ‘keep looking into it until you find one, i guess’
And he replies ‘but what if youve already tried that? What if you keep looking and looking and- what if theres not an answer? What if it just… stays a question?’
To which his father hums and goes ‘a question without an answer? That sounds more like an experience to me. And something like that can last a lifetime’
‘a lifetime?’
‘if you want it to’
Does he want it to? Spending a lifetime on uzumaki naruto? (why is he even considering this? It would be a DRAG. so so troublesome. Hed never have a day of quiet again. Except thats not quite true is it? Except naruto can be quiet, can be still. As long as he knows someones looking at him.)
(shikamaru wants to look at him)
(shikamaru wants him to look BACK)
Well. a lifetime, huh? Maybe he’ll start with lunch tomorrow. (a lifetime can follow after)
i have a suggestion
