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.]

Not other than making sure you talk to her. I don't know what happened between the two of you.

Oh... yeah. That's right, huh? [This doesn't help him. He got the "need to talk" thing down, it's just the "what to say" part he needs help with.

But he definitely doesn't want to talk about it extensively with Shikamaru like that.] ... Guess I'm just gonna have to come up with it on the spot.

[oh my god, you bugged him for nothing

wait, he never wanted to be involved, nevermind...]

It's what you do best. Just do what you do, but think smart about it. You can be open and honest without being blunt.

[Sob.] You think so? Guess that's all the advice I think I needed!

[Now will he actually USE IT, is the question.]

Good luck.

[He'll use as much as he can. Naruto isn't gonna muck this up.]
