Shikamarus pov
Two months later
"Well kid I guess this is where we say goodbye" I smiled at him as he stood at the door. It's been a difficult two months but nejis finally well enough to live.
"it seems so" neji muttered wistfully "would you say you'll miss me nara?"
I was surprised by this question but figured I better answer honestly "yeah I'd say I will. You were good company for me"
He nodded thoughtfully "will you do me one last favour shikamaru?"
"what's that?" I asked.
His cheeks turned red "close your eyes"
"huh?" I tilted my head in confusion. What a strange request and why's he getting so embarrassed?
"shikamaru please close your eyes. I can't do it with you staring at me" he mumbled nervously.
"do what?" I asked starting to get a little annoyed.
"thank you" he muttered shyly. Since when has neji been this shy? Oh well better get this over with.
I shrugged and closed my eyes. I felt a pair of soft lips against mine. I opened my eyes in shock. Neji was kissing me!
"thank you for taking care of me shikamaru. Goodbye" he bowed politely before running off.
I stood there in stunned silence. I can't believe he just kissed me. I'm more surprised about how good it felt though. Like a soft cloud against my lips.
I want to see him again more than ever and he's only been gone a couple of seconds! Is that what love is?
