Soulmate Pt1- Shikamaru Nara
Prompt: You wake up the day of your 18th birthday with a strange tattoo...ย
(Hey guys, I know I havenโt written anything in a long time and I want to be honest and say that Iโve been having an enourmous amount of writerโs block, like no inspo but Iโll try my best and hope you guys enjoy this)
________________________________________________________________
My eyes stare at the ceiling of my room, my mind going over the day, my 18th birthday.
Wait, you guys donโt know what iโm talking about.
Letโs go back to this morning.
I woke up with a smile, beautiful and warm weather and Iโm greeted by my cat, Suki.
She purrs while rubbing herself to me, her fur as soft as a teddy bear.
I pick her up and go to the living room, the smell of food making my stomach rumble:
โHappy birthday my loveโ my mother sneaks up behind me, hugging me, Suki landing by my feet:
โThank you mumโ I hug her back. She came back from her mission last night, her eyes dark with circles underneath them, her knuckles bruised, her arm in a cast:
โYou donโt have to do anything too big for me, mum. You need to rest after your mission and didnโt Sakura say that you had to rest ?โ I say, watching my mother struggle with the cooking.
I slightly push her away as she understands the message, she sits down, replying:
โBut itโs your 18th birthday, we need to celebrateโ she commentsย
โI would rather celebrate it when you are back to health and feeling better, donโt worry about meโ I answer.
I hear my mother sigh, her fingers playing with the surface of the table when I hear:
โOh Y/N, youโve got it !โ
โGot what ?โ I replyย
โYour tattoo !โย
I completely forgot about that.
Basically the day of your 18th birthday, you get a tattoo of the first thing that your soulmate will ever say to you, even if you know them.
โI canโt read it, what does it say ?โ of course mine had to be behind my arm.
My mum lifts my arm and says:
โWhat a dragโ
โI know itโs really annoying that itโs behind my arm, I canโt read itโ
โNo, honey, it saysย โwhat a dragโโ she finishes her sentence, a smile on her face as she lets out a small laugh
โSeriously, that is not funnyโ I huff, wondering who would say that kind of thing
โThis guy must complain a lot, just like your fatherโ she laughs, my face showing discontent, my brain almost boiling wondering who would say that.
I look at the clock, 9:30 AM, IโM GOING TO BE LATE AND KAKASHI IS GOING TO KILL ME.
I scoff down my breakfest, kissing my mum and yell goodbye as Iโm running out of the house, my mother nodding, her good hand holding her head as she watches me leave.
I start running through Konoha, a few people wishing me happy birthday as I shout thank you.
I arrive at the meeting point, Sakura and Naruto waiting for me, their hands crossed while their feet are hitting the ground, seemingly annoyed:
โIโm so sorry Iโm lateโ I pant out, having the impression that the air in my lungs has disappeared:
โY/N you are always lateโ Naruto says.
I stare at him quizzically, Sakura rubbing her eyes as she nods:
โYou have some gall saying thatโ I reply staring at him
โI was supposed to say it, you idiotโ Sakura sighs, Naruto rubbing his neck
โOh yeah, heheโย
โHAPPY BIRTHDAY Y/Nโ I turn around, letting out a scream, to find Kakashi and the other teams.
โHappy birthday Y/Nโ Hinata apporaches me, a chocolat cake in her hand
โOh Hina, thank youโ I say, tears forming in my eyes
โCome on Y/N, letโs celebrate!โ Naruto shouts, wrapping his arm around me as we head out.
We spend the day in the park, the teams all together with their senseis:
โYour mum asked us if we could plan this knowing that she just came back from a mission, she asked me when she came to get checked out yesterdayโ Sakura says, putting a big piece of cake in her mouth.
I look around, seeing everyone laughing and smiling warming me up, although I have noticed that Shikamaru has been very quiet:
โIs Shikamaru okay ?โ I ask Ino, who was sitting next to me
โOh, you know him, Y/N, heโs a grump and not very socialโย
I observe him still, worried about him.
He and I have never had long conversations and we have never hung out alone but thereโs something different about him, I donโt know how to explain it.
I see Kiba approaching him, the two boys start having a conversation:
โShikamaru, we have to leave for a mission tomorrowโ
Shikamaru puts his head in his hands:
โWhat a dragโ
My eyes widen and the air is kicked out of my gut, his words echoing as Iย remember the tattoo that I have on me.
I start shaking my head, my brain processing the information:
โY/N, are you okay ?โ asks Sakura, her hands on my foreheadย
โYeah, I think Iโm starting to feel tired, I think iโm gonna goโ
I start getting up, Sakura and Naruto seemingly concerned get up as well
โThank you guys for everything, I had the most amazing dayโ I say.
I look at Sakura and Naruto, reassuring them that I could go alone.
As Iโm walking in Konoha, my mind wanders, I mean, Shikamaru, how could this be ?ย
I always thought that it worked on a level of affinity or something.
I arrive home, my mother asleep on the couch.
I wrap her in a blanket and head to my room, pacing around.
Heโs leaving on a mission tomorrow, I donโt know what could happen.
I have to tell him...
