timepiececlock...and only then when it's particularly unlikely-to-get-together side characters?
Naruto chapter 271
"I am, you know. As cunning as Shikamaru."
I don't know why Kakashi felt the need to tell Naruto that (it wasn't really relevant), but GUH.
GUH. With that sentence was born a whole NEW unconventional yaoi/slash pairing for Rashaka.
My mind was instantly filled with images of Kakashi and Shikamaru competing to outsmart each other, each frustrated byt the skill of their opponent, each getting more and move involved in the competetion. I imagine intense stares over games of chess and shougi and go. I imagine fierce hunter/hunted sparring where the two are using trickery and their environment and their resources to outsmart one another. I imagine a grown up Shikamaru having been told all his life since genin age that he was smarter than everyone, only to suddenly be competing for that title with a legend who may be just as smart as he is, that he never paid much attention to until now.
Two really smart snarky lazy bastards competing for the "I'm the cleverest" title, and of course competition can get personal sometimes.
Damn you, Narutoverse! Curse you! Why must I always love the unconventional pairings that surely NO ONE is going to write fic for?!?!
