Work Text:
Naruto had just come back from a mission, and was making his way back to his apartment. He had finished his report, and was looking forward to a long, hot bath. He climbed the stairs two at a time, unlocking the door, getting undressed and in the bath in record time. He sighed in bliss, the water relaxing his sore muscles, and cleansing his body from the blood and grime. He only had a small cut on his cheek, as the mission had gone rather smoothly. He enjoyed his bath for another fifteen minutes before getting out, his stomach begging him for food. He cleaned himself quickly and changed, hair still a bit wet.
He opened his fridge, ready to make himself some instant ramen, when his eyes fell onto a small object on his countertop. His eyes widened instantly, and he swore loudly. Shikamaru! Today was Shikamaru's birthday, and he had totally forgotten to give him his present! Naruto face-palmed, well, it was more of a slap really, before rushing out of his apartment door, slamming it shut after him.
He jumped from rooftop to rooftop, searching frantically through Konoha for the sight of the familiar ponytail. After a few minutes of endless searching, he decided to ask the citizens if they had seen him anywhere. He jumped down next to a random shop and turned towards the nearest person.
"Excuse me miss. Do you know Shikamaru Nara?" The lady nodded, after all, the Nara were a well-known clan. "Do you know where I could find him?"
"No, I'm sorry."
"Alright, arigato."
Naruto then went towards the next person, asking the same question. After about ten people, he began sighing in despair. Where could Shikamaru be? He stopped and ran a hand through his hair in frustration. He looked up again, only to realize his feet had led him to Ichiraku. Shrugging, he decided to go in. Why not give it a try? Ramen had never failed him after all. He poked his head inside, mouth watering at the smell. He quickly shook himself out of his thoughts. Now was not the time for ramen!
"Old man Teuchi!" he called out. The owner of the shop turned towards him.
"Naruto, I see you've come back from your mission. I suppose you're here for your daily ten bowls of ramen?"
"Well, not this time. I was wondering if you knew where Shikamaru was."
"Oh, yeah, I do. He passed in front of the shop five minutes ago. I think he had to go check on the construction site at the East of the village to make a report. He was complaining about how much of a drag it was."
Naruto chuckled. "Sounds like him. Thanks old man!"
Naruto waved, before jumping back on to the rooftops, and making his way to the construction site. He made it a few minutes later, and immediately spotted Shikamaru talking to a worker. He jumped down next to him, startling the worker while the shadow-nin only raised an eyebrow.
"Shikamaru! I've been looking all over for you!" Naruto exclaimed, before turning to the worker. "Could you excuse us for a minute? Thanks."
He dragged Shikamaru away, the other spluttering in protest. He stopped only a few feet away, facing Shikamaru with a bright grin.
"Happy birthday Shika! I wanted to bring you your gift!"
A surprised expression passed over Shikamaru's face for a second, before his mouth settled into a small smile.
"Thanks, Naruto." -
The blond only grinned in answer, digging his hands through his pockets for the present. After a few seconds though, his expression morphed into a frown.
"Where is it? I swear I had it right..." Naruto trailed off, turning wide eyes towards his friend. "Shit, Shika I'm so sorry! I forgot your gift at my apartment! Do you mind going to my apartment with me so I can give it to you?"
"Naruto, I've got a report to do..."
"Pleaaaaaase!" Naruto begged, a pout settling on his lips. Shikamaru sighed in defeat.
"Fine, let me just warn the workers I'll finish this tomorrow."
"Yes! I mean, you deserve a break after all, it's your birthday."
Shikamaru smiled slightly at the blond's enthusiasm, before heading back towards the worker a few feet away. He exchanged a few words with him before joining Naruto.
"Well, let's get going!"
Naruto took off to the rooftops, Shikamaru close on his heels. They hurried through the village and stopped at Naruto's apartment. Naruto opened the door, practically vibrating with excitement.
He grabbed Shikamaru's hand, leading him through the apartment and into the kitchen. He took the small gift on the counter, and handed it to the ravenette with a wide grin. Shikamaru took it, intrigued, wondering what Naruto could have offered him. Coupons to Ichiraku surely, he thought to himself. He carefully opened the surprisingly not too ugly wrapping, and let out a soft gasp at what he discovered.
He was prepared for anything, except that. Naruto's gift was... beautiful. And it seemed like it was custom made too. Did Naruto really go to all that trouble just for him? Thinking about it made him feel warm.
In his hands lay a simple black necklace. What was unique was the round, flat stone attached to the necklace. It was a dark green malachite, with the head of a deer engraved on one side. When Shikamaru turned it over, he realized that the symbol of the Nara clan was engraved on the other side. He looked up at Naruto with wide eyes.
"Is this custom made?"
"Yeah, I had to plan a little to have it finished in time." Naruto answered sheepishly, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Why did you go to all the trouble? Something simple would have been fine."
"Because you're one of my best friends, Shika."
As Naruto said that, he stared intently at Shikamaru, pinning him in place with his gaze. Their eyes locked, entranced by each other.
"Want me to put it on for you?" Naruto asked, breaking the spell.
The Nara nodded, and turned around, tilting his head forward to give Naruto access to his neck. Tanned hands circled his neck, going behind it to attach the lace. Naruto's hands seemed to linger, hovering over his nape. Naruto's breath ghosted over his ear, making him shiver. As if on auto-pilot, Shikamaru turned around, the strong hands going down to hold his waist. Shikamaru's own hands found themselves moving towards Naruto's shoulders. The two stared at each other once more. They slowly moved towards each other, meeting each other halfway.
Their lips touched, and Shikamaru gripped Naruto's shoulders. Their kiss was soft at first, slow, only a press of lips, but they quickly started moving more against each other, though they had to pull away for air after a while. They separated, but still stayed close, labored breathing ghosting over each other's lips. Shikamaru looked up into the blue eyes, only to find them blown wide in desire.
"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that Shika."
"You're not the only one. Now shut up and kiss me." The ravenette commanded.
Naruto only chuckled before complying. Their lips met again in a fiery kiss, Naruto slowly guiding Shikamaru towards his bedroom. When they finally made it there, he pushed Shikamaru down onto the bed, letting himself fall on top of him. They quickly reconnected their lips, hands roaming each others bodies. The blonde's hands disappeared under Shikamaru's shirt and tugged upwards in a silent question. The other boy only raised his arms, letting Naruto slip his shirt over his head. The jinchuuriki then pulled back to slip off his own shirt, before going back to ravaging the Nara's mouth, sucking, licking and biting over his neck and shoulders too.
Shikamaru arched his back, rubbing up against Naruto's leg. He let out a slow moan, and started humping the blonde's leg. Naruto pinned Shikamaru's hips down onto the mattress, stopping his movements. He slid the raven's pants and boxers down, freeing his cock.
Naruto bent over Shikamaru, licking a stripe up his half hard cock. The other moaned, begging for more, hands coming up to grip Naruto's hair. The blonde took the member in his mouth, quickly bringing it to full mast. Shikamaru whined and tightened his grip in the blonde hair. Naruto simply moaned, going down farther on the treat in his mouth. After a few minutes, the Nara started moaning louder.
"Na-naruto... Cum-cumming!"
Just as he said that, the blonde suddenly pulled back, and circled his fingers around the base of Shikamaru's cock, effectly stopping his high.
"Why would you do that?!" The ravenette groaned, annoyed.
"We're far from finished, and I don't want to have to wait for you to be hard again."
The Nara groaned again but didn't complain. Naruto smirked, before reaching for the lube in his night stand.
"I forgot to ask, but does it bother you if I top? We can always switch if you want." The blonde inquired.
"No it's good, I prefer to bottom. Less to do."
Naruto shook his head, chuckling. He opened the cap of the bottle and squirted a bit on his fingers. He rubbed it around to warm it, before slowly inserting a digit in Shikamaru's hole. He pushed in slowly, making sure not to hurt his partner. When it was in up to the knuckle, Shikamaru let out a low whine.
"Oh fuck! Naruto-"
The blonde let out a pleased hum, slowly entering a second digit, and working them both inside the heat, pressing on the sensitive bundle of nerve inside. He began scissoring the tight hole, enjoying the whines and moans he was pulling out of the ravenette. A few minutes and a third finger later, Shikamaru let out an impatient sound, which was very rare for the lazy man.
"I need you in me thirty minutes ago." he breathed out.
Naruto let out a low laugh, pulling off his pants and boxers in a quick movement. He coated his hard member in lube with trembling fingers, precum already dripping out of the tip. He lined himself up with his partner's hole, and slowly pushed in. Shikamaru let out a series of breathless sounds as the blonde's cock opened him up. He wrapped his legs around Naruto's waist and pulled him even closer, until the jinchuuriki finally bottomed out, his pelvis pressed flush against Shikamaru's ass. The blonde let out a loud moan at the tight heat envelopping him, gritting his teeth to stop his hips from moving. The Nara took a few deep breaths, adjusting to the intrusion, before he rocked his hips slightly, inviting the other to move.
Naruto didn't waste any time, immediately puling out halfway before slamming back inside, again and again, building a rhythm. Shikamaru clawed at Naruto's back, trying to get a grip on something, anything, to anchor himself as his partner's movements rocked his body up and down the mattress. The two were lost in haze of lust and pleasure, sharing saliva, sweat, everything, trying to melt together and become one. Their voices were mixing together, loud moans and low whines filling the air. All too quickly, they both began to feel the pleasure building up in their chest, movements becoming more erratic and desperate.
"N-naruto, I-I'm gonna-"
"Me too-"
The two boys panted in each other's mouths as white pleasure seared through their bodies as they reached their climax. Shikamaru's cum painted both of their chests while Naruto shot his load inside of his hole, thrusting a few more times to chase the lingering pleasure. They both went boneless, the blonde collapsing next to his partner as their minds drifted off in a post orgasmic haze. Naruto slowly pulled out, the ravenette's gaping hole fluttering at the loss. The blonde reached to take some tissues and cleaned them up, before wrapping his arms around his partner's waist, pulling him into his chest, and promptly falling asleep.
°°°
The two men woke up a few hours later, in the late afternoon. Naruto yawned loudly and stretched out his arms. Shikamaru groaned in response, and rolled over to face the blonde.
"Hey Shika!" Naruto exclaimed with a wide grin.
"How are you so energetic right after waking up?" the ravenette mumbled, eyes still closed.
He frowned at the silence that followed his questions, knowing it was unusual for Naruto to be this quiet. He cracked open an eye, looking up at the other. Noticing his far away look, he frowned further.
"What is it Naruto?"
"Oh, nothing!"
"Considering your silence, I would say it's not nothing."
Naruto sighed, looking away. "I was just wondering... was this a one time thing?" he asked hesitantly.
Shikamaru's eyebrows raised in surprise, both eyes now open. "Do you want it to be?"
"I mean... not really. I really like you Shika, but I would understand if you would like this to be a one time thing, and-"
The Nara promptly shut him up with a kiss. "I like you too, troublesome idiot."
Naruto looked stunned for a second, before smiling widely once again.
"What time is it?"
Naruto rolled over to look at the clock on his bedside table. "5 pm." he answered.
"I should probably head home, I was supposed to be back at 3."
The blonde whined, visibly disappointed, but nodded. "Okay... I'll see you tommorow?"
"Sure, I'll pass by your appartment. Which time?"
"I have a better idea! Wanna have a date? Eat lunch together?"
"Sure. Ichiraku, I'm guessing?"
"No, I want to be original for once. And it wouldn't feel like a date since I always go there anyways. How about the dango shop?"
Shikamaru's eyebrows rose in surprise. "Not Ichiraku? Guess you really are the number 1 unpredictable ninja, huh. Okay."
Naruto shot him a wide grin as the ravenette got out of bed. He collected his clothes and changed quickly, ignoring the way Naruto was very obviously checking him out. As he walked out of the bedroom, he winced at the pain in his ass and at his slight limp. He heard a chuckle behind him, and gave Naruto the finger as he left the room. He limped his way out of the appartment, unable to keep a smile off his face.
°°°
He finally arrived at the Nara compound 5 minutes later, happy at how his birthday had gone. It certainly wasn't how he had expected today to go, but he wasn't about to complain. The only thing he would change was his ever-present limp. And the pain in his ass. He opened the door to his house, and his eyes widened in surprise at the sight awaiting him. Guess he went from surprise to surprise today, huh. In front of him, strewn across his living room, were all of his friends, chatting together and looking either bored or annoyed. There were also streamers hung on the ceiling and balloons floating across the space. Everyone turned towards him at the sound of the door opening. Ino immediately rose up and crossed the room in two long strides, looking incredibly pissed off.
"SHIKAMARU NARA! WHERE IN THE EVER LOVING GOD WERE YOU? WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR TWO WHOLE HOURS!"
A vein in her temple was bulging slightly, and she looked about ready to throw punches. Choji immediately rushed forwards to hold her back.
"Ino, calm down! But seriously Shika, where were you?"
"The report took longer then planned." said boy lied smoothly. "But what are you all doing here?"
"Well," Kiba explained, "it was supposed to be a surprise party, but since the main guest wasn't there..."
"Oh..." A wave of guilt crashed over the Nara. His friends had planned everything and he had shown up two hours late. Not that it was entirely his fault, but still. "Well, why don't we do that party right now? We still have plenty of time."
Ino still looked annoyed, but after a moment, a small smile graced her lips. "All right. Let's get this party started!"
"Can we start with the cake?" Choji asked immediately. "I've been drooling over it for two hours and I don't know how much longer I can keep myself from eating it."
Everyone laughed at that and started towards the kitchen. Sakura and Ino got the cake out of the fridge while the boys sat at the table. Shikamaru noticed that Neji was frowning at him, so he raised an eyebrow towards the boy in a silent question.
"You seem to be limping. Are you injured?"
Shikamaru's brain took, for probably the first time in his life, some time to process the question. When he finally did, he tried to keep himself from blushing as his mind replayed over and over the images of his time with Naruto. He looked off to the side and cleared his throat.
"I'm fine, some beam just fell on my leg, but it wasn't that heavy." he lied, trying desperatly to clear his mind of the onslaught of memories.
Neji looked at him, suspicious, while the other boys nodded at his lie. Ino turned around with a concerned look on her face.
"Do you want me to have a look at it? I can heal you that limp in no time!"
Shikamaru's eyes widened, as he knew perfectly well that he had no leg injury to look at. "No, really, it's fine Ino!"
The blonde girl frowned, and made her way over to him. "Why are you making such a fuss? It'll take me two seconds!"
She dragged his chair away from the table so that his legs were accessible. She then bent down, medical chakra surging around her hands as she inspected his leg. She frowned again, biting her lip in concentration. After a few more seconds, the chakra receded and she got back up.
"There's no injury in your leg Shika. Either the beam was polystyrene, or the limp doesn't come from a beam at all."
By then, all of his friends were looking at him, with concerned or curious looks.
"My friend, if anything happened, do not fear to tell us! We are only concerned for your safety!" Lee exclaimed.
Shikamaru was really starting to wonder how to salvage the situation when the door to the living room burst open, taking everyone's attention away from him. As he looked towards the person who had caused the commotion, he wasn't sure if he was thankful or if he wanted to slam his head against a really hard surface. Because standing panting in the doorway, was none other then Naruto. He was hunched over, and didn't seem to have noticed the others in the room. He lifted his arm over his head, holding something tightly in his hand. Shikamaru blanched as he noticed what, exactly, Naruto was holding.
"Shika! You forgot your chuunin vest at my apartment!" the blonde exclaimed as he finally lifted his head. He seemed to pause as he finally took in the others in the room. "Oh, hey guys, what are you all doing here?"
"Oh, we were throwing a surprise party for Shikamaru's birthday. Well, it wasn't really a surprise party anymore because SOMEONE arrived two hours late." Sakura answered while glaring daggers at the Nara. Naruto's eyes widened at this, and a blush bloomed on his cheeks as he undoubtedly thought about the same thing as Shikamaru. "Anyways, why do you even have Shikamaru's vest Naruto? Weren't you on a mission?"
Naruto blushed even brighter as he cleared his throat. "Errr- yes. I came back a few hours ago. I asked Shikamaru to, err... feed my cat! Yes, feed my cat while I was gone, he must've forgotten his vest then."
Everyone looked at him with a deadpan look.
"Naruto, you don't have a cat." Tenten said, voicing everyone's thoughts.
"Of course I don't, I meant water my plant!"
Neji's eyes suddenly widened as he looked between Naruto and Shikamaru, both sporting blushes and looking uncomfortable with the situation.
"Are you two together?" he asked suddenly.
"Errr-" Naruto said eloquently, looking at Shikamaru with a lost face.
"Oh, fuck it. Yes, we're together, are y'all happy?" Shikamaru said with a bored expression.
"Congrats you two!" Sakura said with a smile, everyone else agreeing and congratulating them.
"That still doesn't explain the limp, Shika." Ino cut in. She seemed to pause after finishing her sentence, before her eyes widened. "Oh. My. God. Shikamaru Nara. Are you a bottom?" she cackled at the blush taking over her friend's face. "This is gold!"
Naruto laughed loudly behind the both of them, making Shikamaru look at him, a murderous glint in his eye. He grabbed a kunai from his pouch and threw it at Naruto, who simply ducked, still laughing.
"It's your fault I'm limping, you asshole!"
