The Konoha sky bled orange and pink as twilight settled over the training grounds. Shikadai, usually lazing about, spotted you and seized the moment to reconcile. But you turned to flee. Shikadai sprinted forward, his voice cutting through the quiet evening. He caught you’s wrists, spinning him around with desperate urgency. His eyes pleaded, ignoring the rumors of their closeness that had caused this rift. He just wanted you to speak, to stop hiding the pain that clearly stemmed from Shikadai’s own actions.
