The clouds silently pass by while I'm screaming your name(Shikamaru x Reader)

Mr. Past won't stop knocking on my door

You jump down the steps and walk on the dirt road to the Hokage's building.

You put your book bag on the opposite shoulder and let it hang.

"Hey ______!"

You turn around to see Naruto waving at you with a closed-eyed grin.

You give the smallest of smiles.

"What are you doing walking alone?"

You swallow.

You close your eyes and make your smile bigger.

"My parents may have forgotten. They're pretty busy getting settled in."

His expression softens and you let your smile fall.

You look in his eyes which are downcast.

They held pain.

Pain of solitude and no love.

You look down as well.

That look...

You've seen it before.

Naruto suddenly looks up and grins even bigger.

"Well be careful on your way home and don't go tripping on anything."

He gives you a thumbs up and a small chuckle.

The corners of your mouth turned upward slightly.

"Thanks, Naruto."

You both shake hands and you leap onto a fence post.

You turn around once more and Naruto gives you a confident smirk.

You nod and jump onto a nearby tree, making the distance between you and him greater.

"How was your first day _____?"

You nod at the Hokage.

"I think I've made some aquatenices."

He chuckles softly.

"Well that's good. Now we have important matters to discuss."

You look down at your shoes.

"We've found an apartment that had a room open. You will be staying in there and it is in the heart of Konoha so you are surrounded by the people. Some of your friends even live near there."

You flinch at the word 'friends'.

"Honestly, I'll take anything at this point. I just need a place to stay...somewhere away from Him."

The Hokage crouches down to your height and puts a hand on your shoulder.

"Don't worry. He won't bother you now."

You give a small smile and he stands up.

"Kakashi Hatake will lead you to your room."

"Yo."

You turn towards the source of sound and find a tall figure leaning against the window, white hair spraying to the left. His headband covered his left eye and a mask covered his mouth and nose. He held a book labled, "Make-out Paradise"

He smiles and jumps down from the window.

"You must be ______ _______"

You blushed and nodded. 

"Now, go. It's late and you need to get up for the academy tomorrow." 

The Hokage smiles at you and you rush over to hug him, ( well more like his shins but shooooshhh) holding back tears that were stinging your eyes.

He hugs you back and you thank him for all he's done.

You and Kakashi leave as you wipe your eyes.

"This is your room. Number 413."

You step in and you find it kinda roomy for one person. 

There was a small kitchen with a fridge and everything and a small table. The tv sat in a more separate room and a futon sat in front of it. You opened the other door and there sat a queen sized bed and a sliding glass door sat in front of it, leading to a good sized patio.

This is what you needed.

You look at Kakashi and offer thanks.

"No problem. I'll give you some privacy but i will come back tomorrow to take you to the academy."

You nod and he leaves, waving.

You find a mirror next to your bed and grab a blanket and as you walk towards it, you shut your eyes.

You don't like looking into a mirror because you know those eyes will be looking back at you.

You grip the blanket and open your eyes.

There they were.

The eyes of solitude, loneliness, no love.

And the eyes that held a monster.

You shake and throw the blanket over it.

Suddenly, you here thunder and see lightning from the window.

You begin shaking uncontrollably.

You hold onto your ears and crawl into a corner, blocking out the noise.

Tears began streaming down your face.

You could still hear the rain drumming it's fingers on your window.

You sprint into your closet and you shut it close.

You hold onto yourself and sobbed uncontrollably.

You thought of Shikamaru and Naruto.

You wish they were here.
