023 -- [Accidental Post]

[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.]

Okay! How 'bout that baby picture specifically?

Oho, you like to live dangerously. Do you really want to let me change the subject again?

You can try, but I'm not gonna fall for that kinda trick again.

[WE WILL SEE. Though he at least has the courtesy to put it up under a filter.]

You and Hinata talk much yet?

[Oh. That's... a pretty successful subject change. There's no way Naruto can try to ignore that without acting like an asshole, and that's not going to sit well with him.

Thanks for the filter, bro.] ... Nah. Just once since then, and it was kinda short.

[Yeah, they'd probably be having words, if he'd done that. 8|]

Whether you feel one way or another, you should work on that. I'm not gonna push you, but you know it doesn't do either of you well to let things sit like this.

[Naruto takes a moment to contemplate on how to tackle this, but can't really come up with any good decision.]

Yeah, I know. I just dunno how to go around all this. Delicate situation and stuff, y'know?

...man, you've grown a lot.

... What's that supposed to mean? [That sounds like a compliment.]

I'm so used to you rushing into everything without a plan. But look at you, starting to think things through.

Ohhh, c'mon! I thought things through before! [No, he didn't. All instinct.] Kinda! Once in awhile!

... Man, you don't have to actually point it out.

Why not? It's a good thing. Just don't think so hard it slows you down, you know?

[...snerk.] I can't believe it's you I have to say this to. Makes me proud.
