023 -- [Accidental Post]

[endgames]

[Earlier, when looking through his father’s book for the first time in several months, Shikamaru found some pictures he’d never seen before being used as bookmarks. It was… nostalgic, to say the least.

He finds another bookmark to replace them; puts the photos in a drawer to look at later. Because haha, he knows how this works, right? He leaves them out, and somehow his journal accidentally records it. Yeah. Hell no. He’s smarter than that and doesn’t leave his journal anywhere near them. On top of that, he takes it with him when he leaves to assist with a chakra training lesson. Crisis averted!

Guess what he sees when he opens up his journal two hours later.



Where’s the nearest wall. He needs to beat his head softly against it while he attempts to figure out how this happened. Feel free to action it up when he’s back at CH1 too, if you like.]

[CRAP. Girls are finding this.]

Yeah. Well. Most babies are, I hear.

They are, but this is you. It's strange that you were so adorable once. [Since, y'know. He's clearly a stodgy old man before his time.]

--why does that make it strange?

[NOT THAT HE CARES. But ow, Sakura. 8|]

Hmm... [Geez, how does she put this delicately?] I guess I'm just used to you being really mature. It's hard to see that quality as cute.

[Voice]

[endgames]

Aa. Fair enough. I think I'll take that over 'adorable' anyways.

[pinkyizpower]

Are you worried no one would take you as seriously? Because I doubt that. You're one of the best strategists in the village. Probably the best here.

I'm not that great. [Said automatic.]

That said, I'm not too worked up over this. [Besides trying to figure out how it happened.] It's just embarrassing to deal with.

[She doesn't agree with his automatic assumption, but doesn't say anything either. It was probably better for him in the long run.

Sakura laughs, though.]

I bet it would be. You should just tell them at leas you're man enough to post your baby picture.

I haven't taken it down... [Same point, basically, but with less words. He hopes.]
