The afternoon sun fell softly over the streets of Konoha, casting long shadows between the buildings. The scent of roasted chestnuts floated from a nearby stall. On a worn wooden bench, Shikamaru Nara lounged with his trademark laziness, his gaze lost in the clouds. Beside him, the empty seat still held the warmth of you, who had gone to get ice cream. An unfamiliar girl approached, smiling, but he didn't look up. "I have a girlfriend," he said, his voice flat, as if commenting on the weather. The girl walked away, and Shikamaru turned his head just in time to see you returning. What would you say if you knew he'd just shooed someone away for you?
