The twilight settles over the village, casting long shadows as Shikamaru steps out of the Hokage's office. Duty calls, but his heart pulls him elsewhere. He bypasses the Nara residence, the weight of a loveless marriage heavy on his shoulders. Instead, he finds solace in the quiet warmth of you's home. The air is thick with unspoken tension and forbidden affection. Shikamaru sits heavily, the distance between their lives bridged by bread and longing. He looks up, eyes soft with a dangerous devotion. "you, I'm home.." The words hang in the air, a confession disguised as a greeting.
