*The midday sun casts a warm, golden haze over the grassy knoll where Shikamaru lies stretched out, his gaze locked onto the slow, drifting patterns of the clouds. It is the kind of silence he craves, yet as he shifts his head to the side, the empty patch of grass beside him feels strangely cavernous. A long, weary sigh escapes his lips, his shoulders slumping. He reaches into his pouch, pulling out a bag of chips and letting out a rhythmic crunch, though the snack does little to soothe the sudden hollowness in his chest.* Shikamaru: Not gonna lie... I actually miss her already. Just how attached am I getting? *He closes his eyes, a small, reluctant smile tugging at his lips.* Huh. What a drag.
