// was supposed to be very productive and social this evening, but I think it will end with me curled up in bed with a book, or playing Hogwarts Legacy instead. The weather is super cosy and I just need to relax a bit.. I hope you forgive me!

#ooc. #tbd.

Shikamaru waited patiently for Obito's story. He knew all too well how difficult it was to talk about something heavy that had such a strong hold of you. The last thing he wanted was to pressure Obito in any way and break his trust by doing so.

Ah. The Nara lifted his head a bit, fixing his gaze on something further away in the green scenery. Kakashi... Something told him, a feeling really, that the silver haired man wouldn't be too keen on having someone else know about the following story if there was something a bit too personal about it. However, Shikamaru wasn't prone to gossip, which Hatake knew. And besides, this was about Obito... This was for Obito. Shikamaru wanted to listen to Obito, hear his story, his view of things.

He wanted to... be someone the other man could talk to, if he wanted. And that the Uchiha would feel safe with that.

Shikamaru's face grew a bit warmer and he fought hard not to let his facial expression become a sulk because of his own silly thoughts. For some damn, stupid reason it felt unreasonably important to him that Obito wanted to talk to– and trust him.

He nodded, gave a faint smile at the last few words. – didn't get along but were still a team... Memories of Sasuke and Naruto in their first years of being genin came back to him.

"Well, that reminds me of a troublesome pair... You argued and had competitions about everything, too?"

Obito peeled his dark eye off the other, training it into the sand-like dirt beneath his feet. Tracing the tiny pebbles while racking his brain for the events of that day while taking the last drag of his cigarette. ❝ Okay.... uhm.. where to start where to start..... ❞ he let out a light- nervous breath as he dug its butt into the ashtray next to him, which usually rests on the railing.

Seconds turned into minutes, fast. The silence wasn't necessarily deafening but being in his own mind was unnerving. It wasn't a place he enjoyed being in with company like that thing. ❝ I dunno just... I mean- I'm sure the whole, ❞ Obito waved his right hand around as he spoke, ❝- thing must've been recorded and stashed somewhere at the Hokage's office. ❞

As he lets out another breath, Obito leans forward; changing his relaxed position to something more... tense-ish. Hands hooked on either side of his clothed biceps. Extended legs retracted and his knees were brought to his chest so his elbows could rest on them.

❝ ... It was towards the end of the Third Ninja War... The.. battle on Kanabi Bridge. That's where my- our, ❞ He swiftly corrected himself. ❝ sensei sent us, me, Kakashi, and Rin; our third teammate, before he left to fight on the front lines. Heh— It still amazes me you know... After the war, our sensei became the Fourth Hokage. ❞ He states, briefly off track. ❝ Anyway- um.. Back then, Kakashi and I didn't get along well. But even so, we were still a team. ❞

-d teams are supposed to stick together! He could hear his younger self shout. We do not leave our comrades behind!

I just love the idea of old granny Nara taking notice of how often Shikamaru smile softly to himself and she just ...has no chill. straight to the case.

'who has taken over your head, boy? you are as far away as the moon. I've never seen you this happy, who is making you this happy?'

Images of Obito swirling around in his mind;;; shika: ...no one in particular. shika: I guess I'm just in a good mood...?? granny: I don't believe it. quit lying to your elders, boy. granny: your mother taught you better. now spit it out.

@kikaichuno "I'm decent at shogi." Shino claims randomly, round glasses looking elsewhere. He'd love to see how good Shikamaru is. (Genin!)

Shikamaru's body had tensed up in surprise at the sudden voice of the other. He'd been far too deep in thought, staring down at the board game in front of him when Shino had turned up. Or had the guy been there all along? Shikamaru had not sensed the other genin what so ever. Jeez... He should probably work on that, along with all other training and physical skills he was lacking...

The young Nara exhaled slowly to come off as if he hadn't had a minor heart attack in silence just now. He then lifted his lazy gaze up to the bug-kid he knew from the academy. "Eeh.. Is that so? I haven't really paid much attention to it until Asuma-sensei forced me to play a few weeks ago." he replied.

"... wanna have a go?"

// kiddo shikamaru nursing ill bumblebees back to good health tho;;

sitting crouched and all focused, staring down at the ground while holding a spoon with sugar water for it to sip, and speaking to it

"It's too early for you to come out. It's still a bit cold and there are not enough flowers for you guys yet. If you don't believe me, then I can bring my friend Shino over. He talks to guys like you, for real. He might actually be of help right now... Can you wait here? Don't go anywhere."

and as he stands up to run off to find Shino, he glares up into the sky at any sign of birds and goes "And I don't want any of you to eat him..! Go eat maggots in herb beds."

@morino-ibiki continued..

Shikamaru raised an amused eyebrow and pulled the slightest smirk. "Well, wow, are you calling me a snob? That'd be the first one." Of course, though, he was fairly certain that wasn't what Ibiki had meant. And he wouldn't take any actual offence to it, either way. It wasn't really a place of interest to him, after all. He didn't drink that much, and was too much of a loner to seek out any place with other people around on a normal day.

This wasn't a normal day, though. Or night.

"I couldn't sleep," shockingly, "so I thought I'd go for a walk. Thought it might help. You here with someone?"

@shikaku-the-nara continued from here !

"A joke? You think I like her running around the place?" he retorted gently, pushing himself away from the door and walked inside to slouch down inside his fathers office.

"There were some... odd ..things happening last night. I was up late. Some doors kept sliding open and shut, someone messing about in the kitchen. Tiny wet footprints– wasn't Mirai." he waved a hand as if it was nothing to bother about.

"But unfortunately when I was on my way out this morning, old lady Yuzuki was at the door to leave some vitamin snacks for the deer and made a scene of sensing something. She threw me out."
