A/N: Transfered from my gomusing account.
Chapter 1 - Ni Jyu
#2 - Middles
No one is going to change anyone's surname, Naruto, Neji explained for the nth time. But you're getting married! Naruto exclaimed. Neji prayed for patience, and plotted what to do to Shikamaru later for leaving him alone with the hyperactive blond.
#7 - Days
An engagement party was not supposed to last this long, but realizing that two of the strongest clans in Konoha were uniting, Neji supposed he would have to endure.
#12 - Orange
Neji could not even begin to comprehend how he and his fellow jounin lost a bet against Naruto. Wearing the blond's signature jumpsuit was proof enough that this day could not get any worse.
#17 - Brown
Shikamaru had always been territorial about Neji's hair, to the older man's complete befuddlement.
#22 - Enemies
Checkmate, murmured Neji. It seemed to be a curse for the shadow-nin, more often than not, to be defeated in a game of shougi after he began dating the Hyuuga prodigy. Asuma postulated he was constantly distracted by anything Neji did. Shikamaru chose to ignore it.
#27 - Parents
Yoshino gripped the door until her knuckles turned white. A divorce? Shikaku finally asked. She knew it would destroy his son to do it, but a strong no dissipated her worries.
#32 - Sunset
It wasn't until the owner of the shougi parlor approached them to announce that the establishment was closing that both men realized how fast time flew when they were together. It would take three weeks however, for either man to admit it to himself.
#37 - Sound
Shikamaru groaned inwardly as he listened to Neji fluently addressing a Suna nin in French. He's torn between cursing and rejoicing the tradition of proper, formal education in noble families.
#42 - Triangle
He was never outspoken about his feelings, but Neji knew he owed a lot of his happier memories during adolescence to Team Guy.
#47 - Heart
When a Nara loves, they love that person until their death. Shikamaru used to scoff at his father's drunken exposition. Now, he couldn't even meet his dad's smug look.
#52 - Fire
Shikamaru pushed Neji against the wall and kissed his lover's mouth hungrily. Neji moaned, clutched Shikamaru's hair tightly and pushed a leg between his lover's parted ones. It was going to be a long, pleasurable night.
#57 - Lunch
Naruto, Kiba and Chouji endured the inconvenience of having to peek through the restaurant's window to watch the two genius ninja attempt a conversation through silence. The three self-appointed matchmakers couldn't wait to spread the news.
#62 - Spring
It was a yozakura, but Shikamaru never spared the sakura blossoms even a glance. He had never been fond of flowers, but as he drew the older ninja to his side, he realized he wouldn't mind attending the festival every year from now on.
#67 - Snow
The coldest night often gave ache to the scar on Neji's shoulder, but it was nothing compared to the guilt that besieged Shikamaru's expression. It was never your fault, the older nin assured him with adamance. Some lucky nights, Shikamaru allowed himself to believe it.
#72 - Fixed
Who never said he had a devious bone in his body? Neji smirked inwardly as he possessively stared at his lover's sweaty, bare and lean torso while Shikamaru grudgingly tinkered with their flat's heating system.
#77 - What?
Hiashi went from confused to trying his best not to laugh at his nephew's constipated countenance. He had an idea how much pride Neji swallowed in order to ask him advice on how to patch things up with his lover, even if it was done in a roundabout way.
#82 - If
Shikamaru gently held Neji's bandaged ankle, placed a soft kiss, and silently thanked the gods for such blessing: a second chance.
#87 - Life
Any last words? His torturer sneered. None, he replied, surprised at the realization that he was content with what he already had. The nin silently repeated his lover's name, closed his eyes, and waited for the final blow. It never came.
#92 - Christmas
Neji woke on a cold, cheery morning of the 25th snuggling against his lover's heat. Merry Christmas, indeed.
#97 - Household
Neji may have been one of the best ninja of his generation but it didn’t say much about his aptitude for cooking as he irritatingly stared at his burnt batch of spring rolls. It didn't help that Shikamaru kept stifling his guffaws behind him.
