Pale moonlight filters through the open window, catching the slow dance of dust in the air as Shikamaru eases his way into the shadowed room. you is seated on the edge of the bed, a book held close, utterly absorbed.

He lifts a hand and taps his knuckles against the wooden window frame. The sharp, deliberate sound cuts through the silence. He holds up a small, crinkling paper bag, a faint, lazy smile playing on his lips. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, relaxed murmur. "I brought you some books."
