Proping his head up with his elbows, Neji gazes over at the wimpering Shikamaru with a bewildered look, while Nobu sat on his head with quite the smug look on his little bat face.
Neji then realizes that something is on his head and knows instantly that it's Nobu, but he could fathem why SHikamaru would act that way towards him... unless...
Neji quickly grabs Nobu off of his head and seeing that he had guessed right, fixed him with a stern look.
"Nobu, you must really have it out for Shikamaru to stoop so low." Neji told him, annoyed.
"Now change this instant, or you'll find yourself out in the col-" Neji didn't finish his statement for he then realized that it wasn't that cold anymore, and in fact one could almost say that it was warm out and increasing in temperature every minute.
Even though Neji didn't finish his statement, Nobu got the hint and changed into a ferret and scurried up onto Neji's shoulder to smirk somemore at the cowering Shikamaru.

Neji moves over to Shikamaru, glaring at Nobu, who retreated to the pile of cloths at the glare, and sat next to him, slightly confused as to what to do. Comforting a person was definitly not a strong point of Neji's.
After a couple of minutes of just sitting next to him, Neji realized that Shikamaru was not going to come back to reality on his own and moved so that he was pressed up against him as much as he could and hesitantly put an arm behind Shikamaru's head and drew it under his chin, while he secured Shikamaru within a hug and started to soothingly stroke his hair.

"I was gone for a while, wasn't I?" he asked, voice quiet.

Neji replied relieved and still stroking Shikamaru's hair.

Shikamaru stumbled through the speech, shaking slightly as he described the fall through the cave floor.

"...It sounds like you had a pretty bad experience, but you should really try to get over this fear of yours, for it can be very dangerous to be so scared of something that you loose all sense of reality. Imagine if you were on a mission and ended up in a cave fighting a rouge ninja and you noticed that there were bats in there... you could... *pauses and shudders at the though* die in a situation like that..." Neji trails off gripping Shikamaru tighter to him and shivers from the thought.

"I've tried for a long time. Asuma~sensei helped a little bit, that's why I was even able to come into this cave at all."

"You know I'll always be here for you... so if you ever need a shoulder to lean on, let me know and I'll be your living support."

"I know." His eyes shine slightly and he gives Neji a gentle kiss. "Thank you."

"No need to say thank-you... after all... that's what a boyfriend's for... right?" Neji blushes slightly, having a hard time believeing that he had actually said that.

"I think that's the first time I've heard you use that word in the context of us.: He lightly poked the tip of Neji's nose with a finger. "You're blushing again."
Reply
"Yeah, well... I just can't seem to help it when I'm around you." Neji mumbles.
Reply
"I know, and I told you that I would make you blush at every opportunity. You are really cute when you're face goes red."
