Shikamaru: Lord Hokage? I just have a few papers for you to look over before you leave for the night, and —
Shikamaru: Eh?
*the room seems to be empty; until Shikamaru notices a sandal sticking out from underneath the desk*
Shikamaru, crouching down: … what are you doing under there??
Kakashi: Hiding.
Shikamaru: From?
Kakashi: Gai.
Shikamaru: Why are you hiding from him?
Kakashi: This morning, before I left, I accidentally ate the last of his chocolate cake. I thought he wouldn’t notice but he’s been messaging me all day asking where it is. I finally told him I ate it and he said he’s “coming to pick me up” after work.
Shikamaru, sighing: Lord … Kakashi-Sensei. You’re the Hokage. You’re the leader of our entire village. You can’t be scared over something so mundane.
Kakashi: Maybe you’re right.
Kakashi: By the way, Temari stopped in while you were running errands earlier. She wanted to know why you didn’t take out the garbage this morning like she asked you to. Seemed pretty angry; she also said she’d be by for YOU after work. But I guess you’re not scared of that, right?
Shikamaru:
Shikamaru: *gets on his hands and knees and crawls under the desk* Move over.
