At Nara mansion, Yoshino calls for the boys for dinner. When Shikamaru and Naruto went into the kitchen they saw Nara Shikaku, Shikamaru 's father and the head of the Nara clan.

" Sorry to be a burden, Shikaku-san," Naruto said.

" Is not a problem. Your Shikamaru friend so it fine ." Shikaku said.

The dinner went with small talk and with Shikamaru ask if Naruto could stay because is late. And they said he could stay. As they went at sleep Shikamaru change on a pair of pajama pants and the pajama t-shirt he gives to Naruto. Naruto being short that Shikamaru. The sleep together in Shika bed. As Shikamaru in going and lying in bed making sure that Naruto has space. ( Shika bed is a one-person bed 😈😋😼) Naruto going in the bed beside Shikamaru as he let he ears and tail appear .

As morning comes and Kurama feel someone approach and didn't want to wake his kit he places a genjitsu on the fox accessory. As Yoshino walk into the room and saw the two boys she begin to giggle.

When Shikamaru wake up, his nose in Naruto's chest with his hand at his waist, bringing him as close as possible to him. Although he doesn't say out loud, he has always been attracted to this blonde. When he was die (before time travel) he wanted to tell Naruto how much he cared about him, but when he woke up in the past he was extremely happy knowing he had a chance when he felt that Naruto was his Naruto, when he saw him so vulnerable that his heart ached, and suddenly an instinct to protect him had woken up in him. As Shikamaru thoughts were, Naruto wakes up, still a little sleepy, and looked up at Shikamaru with his eyes closed, still holding his hand around his waist, he blushes a little, beginning to shake Shikamaru awake.

'' Shika, wake up. We need to see Ji-Chan, he need help. '' Naruto murmured. Shikamaru opens an eye to look at him.

'' Do we really have to? It's still early. I want to sleep longer. '' Shikamaru said, pulling Naruto back in bed and tightening him in a more relaxed position and bringing him closer to him. Shikamaru puts his face in Naruto's hair, inspiring the smell. Naruto now with the red face in Shikamaru's chest, even if they were in the past Shikamaru has some muscles and was taller than him. Although he wanted to stay in that position Naruto could not.

'' You know we can't Shika. We don't have much time to laze maybe after we solve everything we'll have a day or two to relax and you can lazy whatever you want. "Naruto murmurs in his chest now Shikamaru glad he doesn't have a t-shirt on him, feeling how Naruto breathes in his chest It was like a dream.

'' Yeah, you will not be with me then. You will train on the day off. '' Shikamaru murmured, he had no intention of letting him go. Shikamaru thinks, 'Why don't I tell him how I feel about him now?'. Rising up with Naruto, staring into his blue eyes, they were beautiful with a touch of innocence, but not as innocent as before. They went through two wars, they lost too many friends, the family and they had to kill a lot, but Naruto was still so innocent, he didn't have anyone to love, and he doesn't want his feelings to share it. Naruto looked into the eyes of Shikamaru, who emitted many emotions, but the strongest was love, seeing him take a serious expression.

'' Shika? '' In a shy voice, when he could not read Shikamaru's thoughts, he felt a little scared.

"Naruto, I have something very important to discuss with you and I can't keep that in myself." That's what Naruto's attention got. Shikamaru inspires courage. "I love you, Naruto. From all my heart and thinking that I will lose you if I don't tell you now I will not have any time to say and someone will take you from me. '' With the fear, Shikamaru waiting for the answer still looking in his eyes. Naruto is unexpected. 'Shika loves me? It's true that I feel for him but I didn't think he would return my feelings. ' Naruto blush answered.

'' Shika, I love you too. So much that it hurt me ." Shikamaru smile, all of the fear disappeared instantly, giving him a tight hug, putting his head on Naruto's shoulder, he began to say.

"I love you, I love you, I so love you, Naru. ''

'' I love you too, Shika.Now up for bed, we have a lot of work to do. '' he hugged back. Getting out of bed, wearing new clothes.

(Naruto clothes and gloves )

( Shikamaru clothes)

"Good morning, Yoshino-san / ka-chan." Naruto and Shikamaru said at the same time.

''Good morning guys. How did you sleep Naruto-Kun? "Yoshino asked with a smile on her lips.

'' I slept very well. Thank you for asking. "Naruto said.

'' What cute you dressed. What plans do you have for today? "Yoshino observed the clothes and was curious.

'' Well, Ji-chan said he has something to do with us, we don't know what and after we have training and/or missions. ''Naruto said tipping he head in one side showing adorably. Shikamaru screamed in his mind 'CUTE' trying to resist not to jump on him and suffocate him in a hug.
