#shikanaru

looking at the mating habits of actual deer i think itd be really funny if when a nara is interested in somebody, they start getting really combative and its really weird for everybody around them to have these chiller than chill people suddenly up in arms and trying to pick a fight over every little thing (esp if youre an object of interest to their object of interest) and its because theyre trying to show off their prowess to the person they like

Temari: It's simple. Shikamaru is the love of my life but I'm not his. I married him anyway because I'm madly in love of him and it was very good optics politically, and he never realized I'm not the love of his life so it works out. Shikmaru's actual true love has a wife. he is the center of her universe and he loves her also but the center of HIS universe is a third guy that isn't his own wife or my husband but rather. a war criminal. this war criminal also has a wife. the two of THEM are INSANELY in love with each other. But even more in love with. the love of your dad's life. Who is also, by the way, the love of my brother's life. I miss Suna sometimes. Shikadai: good morning to you too mom. I'm gonna pretend you didn't say any of that
