Shikamaru wasn't at the police station tonight, a rare night off from work. It meant he got to come home directly after school, and when he arrived he found Itachi waiting for him on the couch. They pulled out the shogi board and played a few rounds, and at some point Shikamaru had decided to try playing Itachi while high. He'd pulled out his bong and took a few hits and he couldn't even remember if Itachi had had any...
Apparently napping had taken priority over another game of shogi, because when Shikamaru came to, he was sprawled out on the expansive couch feeling very warm and comfortable. He had no urge to get up, so he curled up against what he believed to be a pile of pillows and tried to go back to sleep.
And that was when he realized the pillows were breathing.
He had a sinking feeling like some very important code of decorum had been breached. Opening his eyes confirmed this. He had fallen asleep. And woke up. Cuddling his sensei. His mouth opened, then shut again. From where he was, his cheek resting against Itachi's chest, he couldn't tell if the other was asleep or awake. Should he get up? Pretend it didn't happen? Wait for Itachi to shove him off?
They may have spent months training together, but on a personal level, Itachi was still a complete mystery. This was the closest they'd ever gotten and it was by accident. It was too close, wasn't it?
