When the word ramen left Shikamaru’s lips, Naruto was up and off him in a heartbeat. He ran into the small house with Shika-kun slowly following behind. The inside was cozy and dim. Against the far wall a fireplace sat, cackling with a lively fire in it’s mouth.

Naruto was waiting in the kitchen already seated on a wooden stool. Shikamaru switched the TV on so Naruto would be occupied while he prepared the kitsune his promised snack.

He went to the cabinet to retrieve the instant noodles.

He knew how to make the genuine ramen that Naruto loved the best but he didn’t want to spoil dinner later on.

Naruto continued to watch the TV; news.

“There’s been a total of 3 riots today concerning the national topic of the Halves. One in which resulted in the deaths of a total of 16 Half Humans.”

Shikamaru poured boiling water into an orientle white bowl.

He scoffed while topping in with a matching plate.

“See, Naruto. That’s why we live all the way out here.” he said.

Naruto looked over; ears straight.

“People wouldn’t accept us.” Shika sighed as he grabbed a mug and stirred in some brown powder.

He removed the plate and pushed the bowl in front of Naruto along with a pair of chopsticks, then sat opposite the kitsune.

“People wouldn’t accept us how?” Naruto asked, scooping up the curly noodles, “Because you’re my owner?”

The question made Shikamaru recoil, causing some of his hot chocolate to spill.

“I don’t own you! How many times to I hafta’ tell you that?”

Naruto slurped up the ramen and smiled.

“But you do! You saved my life! I’m paying you back with the only thing I have to offer… myself….. but I like being your pet! ‘Cuz I love you.”

Shikamaru blushed.

“Er… anyway, it’s not the owner thing. There are people who support that kind of thing. People wouldn’t accept how we… spend our time together.

Naruto began draining the borth into his small mouth. A tiny stream of it dribbled down his chin.

Shikarmu watched it trickle down the kitsune’s neck and under the collar of Naruto’s black shirt. He cleared his throat, taking a deep drink from the mug.

“Some people own Halves, but all in a negative way. They have them, merely to abuse them. I don’t get it… the only difference is your ears and tail.”

Naruto nodded and watched Shikamaru drink and talk.

“I mean we have the same feelings… the same needs.”

Naruto’s eyes were fixated on Shikamaru’s face and it made Shika kind of uneasy.

Out of nowhere, the kitsune lept onto the table and crawled to where his master sat. Naruto kneeled and gently grabbed the sides of Shikamaru’s face.

“?!?”

Then, Naruto licked Shikamaru’s upper lip and cleaned it from the chocolate remnants.

Shikamaru’s eyelids dropped from lust.

“Mhm.” Naruto hummed, licking his own lips.

Shikamaru pulled Naruto off the table and into his warm lap. Naruto went for the mouth again, apparently not satisfied with his previous attempt.

This time, his tongue traced his master’s lips. He wondered if the sweetness was from the cocoa of Shikamaru himself.

“I’m not that messy.” Shikamaru implied; holding Naruto’s bottom so he wouldn’t slip off.

“I just want to be sure.” he said, “It’s my job to make sure you’re clean.”

Naruto pressed his tongue between Shikamaru’s sweet lips to find the source of the sugary taste; the other tongue. As Naruto was indulging himself on the chocolaty kiss, Shikamaru detected the taste of chicken soup; which made him smile.

He urged the kiss by forcing his moan into Naruto’s mouth, which Naruto ate hungrily. The kitsune’s slender fingers moved from Shikamaru’s cheeks to the nape of his neck.

He shuddered in pleasure… but when Naruto began to rock in Shikamaru’s lap, he released the kiss.

“Naruto…” he sighed, “Later, ok?”

Naruto pressed closer.

“Oh! but I want to now, please!”

Shikamaru silenced him with his finger.

“Later. I promise.”

Naruto slunk away and growled under his breath.

“Pointless. I’m hard and so are you.”

“YOUR FAULT!” Shikamaru yelled, “You’re the one who started it!”

He grabbed a couch pillow and covered his clothed erection.

Naruto hid behind the corner and smiled into the wall.

“You’re the one who was grabbing my ass…”

Shikamaru shot out of the chair.

“I didn’t wanna’ let you fall!!!”

“SURE!” Naruto giggled, as he ran off; knowing that his master would give chase.

He was right.

Shikamaru swerved around the corner with so much speed, he nearly tripped.

Naruto shrieked as Shikamaru dove on him. His master definitely started picking up his fox tricks.

“Gotcha’!” he said; pinning Naruto down by the shoulders.

The kitsune squirmed underneathe Shikamaru’s weight in pleasure. He loved it when Shikamaru was forceful; which wasn’t very often.

“Now, don’t you argue with me. Later… and that’s final.” he breathed in Naruto’s pointed ear.

“I’ll hold you to it.” Naruto spoke, then he licked the underside of his master’s chin.
