"sharing a kiss while dancing >>>" WE NEED 😍😍😍

Ahh what a perfect request 🥰

For those of you who have read Plié-sed to Have Met You, this little teaser takes place within that same universe. It's a scene that I plan to include in my soon(ish) to come Shikajin part 2 of this dance AU. It is not necessary however to read Plié to understand the below. And so, without further ado...

Sway

“When we dance you have a way with me Stay with me, sway with me”

Dean Martin

Full story below the cut ✨

“Hey, Inojin?”

He looked up from removing his shoes, expecting to meet Shikadai’s gaze and instead was met with the back of his boyfriend’s head. Inojin made a small noise to indicate he was listening, waiting for Shikadai to continue as he kepy fiddling with his laces.

“Would you be interested in teaching me some dance steps? I mean, nothing too crazy. You know, just the basics or—”

Inojin nearly catapulted himself up off the ground and grabbed Shikadai by the arms. Those were words he never expected to come out of his boyfriend’s mouth.

“You want to dance?”

Even though they happened to be standing under one of the ceiling lamps in the studio where the bulbs had blown out, Inojin could still make out the blush on Shikadai’s cheeks as he gave a shy nod in response.

“Oh my god, really?! Really? I can’t believe it, oh my god, of course, sweetie! That makes me so happy.”

He watched as the initial shock on Shikadai’s face from the excited outburst morphed into a smile. But not just any smile. This was a special smile. A smile that made Inojin’s heart flutter more than even the worst bout of stage fright.

It was that smile where his eyes became alight with love. That smile that revealed Shikadai was exactly where he wanted to be and there was nothing else he’d rather be doing. That smile only few people ever got the pleasure of being on the receiving end of.

Inojin still couldn’t believe that he was so lucky to see that smile every day.

He kicked his shoes off fully as he grabbed Shikadai’s hand and dragged him over to a part of the room where the overhead lights did work and they could see each other clearly.

Inojin decided to start their lesson with the class step ball change. He chose it not only because it is one of the most basic moves in all styles of dance, but he assumed Shikadai would have an easy time with it. It’s one of those steps where the name of the move tells you how to perform it: you step with one leg, then switch your weight to the ball of your opposite foot, and then back. Inojin thought it would appeal to his boyfriend’s overly logical brain and come naturally to him. All he had to do was follow along with the words.

Apparently though, Inojin thought wrong.

For ten minutes now, he watched as Shikadai continuously tripped over his own feet. He just couldn’t seem to comprehend he had to change the balls of his feet and not keep one plastered to the ground. Inojin offered several times to teach him a different step, but Shikadai refused. He was trying so hard to get it right, Inojin could see beads of sweat drip down his forehead and land on the lens of his glasses.

Shikadai seemed determined to get this step down no matter what, and Inojin was wracking his brain to come up with a way to help him. He started to think back to moments with his parents. Back to a time when he was small and he was first learning these steps himself. The memories prompted him to try a different tactic than having Shikadai just watch and attempt to copy his feet.

Inojin walked over to where Shikadai was fumbling around and wrapped his arm around his boyfriend’s waist. He pulled him in tight so that Shikadai’s backside was flush with his whole body. He could feel Shikadai stiffen at the sudden contact, so Inojin placed a reassuring kiss onto the back of his neck.

“Don’t fight against me, okay? Just relax and let my body guide yours.”

Inojin started to move, lifting his right foot fully off the ground. The top of his thigh pressed into the back of Shikadai’s, effectively raising the other man’s leg with it. Inojin then placed both of their feet back onto the floor and repeated the movement on their left but at a much quicker pace. Then again with the right as that same faster speed.

He continued the slow-quick-quick pattern over and over. With each step Inojin took, Shikadai’s legs did the same, being led by the gentle nudging. Inojin could feel the rhythm start to flow through Shikadai as he became more accustomed to the movements through this hands-on approach.

Just like a child learns to ride a bike without training wheels for the first time, Inojin slowly loosened his grip from Shikadai’s waist and let the other man try on his own. He couldn’t help but grin with pride as Shikadai continued to step ball change all by himself.

It was a different kind of pride than what he’d experienced with the students he taught in class. Inojin imagined it was similar to how his parents had felt every time they watched him first master a new step.

This wasn’t a sense of pride fueled by pure accomplishment, no. This was a pride synonymous with love.

“Well, now that you’ve mastered that, let’s try something else.”

Inojin chuckled when Shikadai jumped at the sound of his voice. He gave Inojin a puzzled look as if asking how they were now on opposite sides of the room. Shikadai had seemingly gotten so caught up in the dance, he hadn’t noticed he was no longer being held.

Inojin walked back over to his partner, making sure to flash one of his signature cheeky winks. He then grabbed Shikadai’s arms, placed them around his neck, and put his own hands on Shikadai’s waist. He once again felt his boyfriend’s body tense up with shyness, so Inojin pulled him in closer and rested his chin upon Shikadai’s shoulder.

“Don’t be nervous. I got you. We’ll take it nice and slow.”

Inojin started to move again. This time, his feet barely lifted off the ground as he gently rocked the pair right and left. He then rubbed encouraging circles into Shikadai’s sides, silently asking him to follow along. Inojin could feel the other man’s body melt into his own, allowing Inojin to lead them in the slow dance.

Inojin had danced with many partners over the years. Girls he’d had to lift over his head and hold their waist as they spun around. Guys he’d had to dive over and swoop under as they moved across the floor.

But this. This wasn’t anything like that.

There was no choreography to ensure they didn’t step on each other’s toes. There had been no practicing for hours on end to make sure the timing was right for a big lift. There was no set rhythm of 1-2-3 over and over again to the tune of music.

No this. This required no plans. No counts. No steps. No marks to hit. This was the most basic of dances and the most natural. The most comforting. The most freeing. The most pure.

This was simply two people. Sharing their space, breathing as one, swaying side to side, and just existing.

Inojin nuzzled further into the crook of his boyfriend’s neck, enjoying the ever-present scent of sand and heat. Even though it had been a few months since Shikadai had gone home for winter break, the smell of the desert never left his skin. It was so foreign to Inojin who had grown up in the concrete laden labyrinth that is New York City. He could live without the stench of sweaty subways and steamy sewer grates. But the aroma that was pure Shikadai? He couldn’t get enough of it.

Now that he had calmed down from the earlier excitement at Shikadai’s request, Inojin decided it was time to ask the question that had been on his mind since then.

“So, why the interest in dancing all of a sudden?”

He felt the blush from Shikadai’s cheek warm his skin.

“Well, it’s such a big part of who you are. A part that I don’t know yet.”

Inojin rearranged them slightly so he could look at Shikadai’s face. He could feel that same excitement from before eager to resurface. It was taking all of Inojin’s patience to let Shikadai finish without interrupting him again.

“I want to know as much as I can about every part of you. Even the parts that I don’t really understand.”

The flush on his face was still present as Shikadai turned his gaze to the ground. Inojin’s eyes watched as the movement caused his glasses to slide down the bridge of his nose. Shikadai unconsciously wrinkled his nostrils as if trying to inch the frames back up to the top.

God, his boyfriend was so cute. Inojin couldn’t stand it.

“I just. I really appreciate the part you play in my own life. And I wanted to thank you for that. So, I don’t know, I just thought—”

That’s it. He couldn’t hold himself back anymore. His patience had run out.

Inojin snatched Shikadai’s hand and raised it above both their heads. He spun the other man around, twirling him like the ballerina inside his music box, before grabbing Shikadai around the waist and dipping him back across his arm. He then bent down to place the biggest, sloppiest kiss on his boyfriend’s lips.

Inojin put every single part of himself into the kiss so that Shikadai would know all of it. That he too appreciated the role the other man played in his life. That he was beyond grateful for the journey they had taken together to get to here.

He imagined right now they looked very similar to that famous photograph of the sailor kissing a complete stranger in the middle of Times Square. Inojin had seen so many tourists reenact that pose over the years. And though Times Square was a part of Manhattan that every native New Yorker tried to avoid at all costs, Inojin couldn’t deny that he had secretly wanted to join in the fun too and copy it with a partner.

But right now, taking a photo was the farthest thing from his mind. In this moment, Inojin felt so special, so cared for, so loved by the man in his arms. It was a feeling that spoke more words than any picture ever could.

And so, even though it went without saying, Inojin just couldn’t help himself.

“I love you too, Shikadai. So very, very much.”

Inojin in return received the biggest grin he had ever seen. Shikadai’s smile was so wide that his cheeks pressed into the bottom rim of his glasses. He then proceeded to right himself up and engulf Inojin in a hug so tight only an Akimichi could rival it.

He had expected Shikadai to let go after a while, so Inojin was surprised when instead the other man brought them even closer together and began to rock them side to side. He had apparently decided to take the lead, and now Shikadai was the one to guide them in the slow dance.

Inojin tried to think of a time in all his years of competing and performing where he had loved dancing more than this moment right here. But none even came close.

This was special because it wasn’t about how high he could jump or how many turns he could do in a row. There was no music, no counting. It was just about them and the air that swayed with them as they floated through it.

They danced without outside pressure. They danced without clear cut rules. They danced without thinking about.

They were just dancing.

And they were free.

When I am Gorgeous by Majsasaurus-M, friendship, angst, family, 58614, multi-chapter, complete

"You don’t realise that you are insane.”

During a time when societal norms are strict and unforgiving, being a difficult woman is frowned upon. Women who can't keep up with the norm must be hidden away, and Temari gets to know that firsthand when she is placed against her will in a women-only asylum to keep the family name clean.

While boys and men were collected and sent to the front, the women stayed in the cities; kept the country afloat, factories alive, and made sure there was a country to come back to, whenever the war is over.

But not all women stayed in the cities.

Not in this story, in which Rasa sends Temari to war.

I highly recommend reading this story. The first chapter already hurt me 😭💗

A knife in the dark prompt + Shikamaru, please 🙏 👀❤️

Thank you for joining my Majsasaurus fic give away 🤍

Knife in the dark + Shikamaru means only one thing: KNIFE PLAY!!

Ship: ShikaTema

Word count: 455 words

Warnings: Knife play in a rather non-graphic smut. SMUUUTTTTTT.

If interested, keep reading 💚

Whenever the knife blade even barely touched Shikamaru’s skin he shivered. As if there was an electrical impulse between his cells and the metal, the hair rose on his arms.

He couldn’t see a thing - it was dark - everything was black like soot around him, yet he could hear her steps, first at his left, then at his right.

The knife was back, dragging across his bicep. Not enough pressure on the skin for it to break, but enough that he could feel the sharpness of it. He imagined it to be made of obsidian, even if it surely wasn’t. One press from Temari, and the blood would start to pour.

It excited him and he leaned his head back, listening to her footsteps, only that they were gone. Like the murder kunoichi she could be, the soft steps turned into soundless movements, and it was impossible for him to gauge where she was. But he knew. Soon he would hear her breathing, hot, close against his ear, or cheek, or collarbone.

The pattern was similar to earlier times, a comforting thought that didn’t take away the excitement. He knew it excited Temari more, that she got to play the villain, that she got to imagine whatever ruthless things she wanted.

The tip of the knife was now on his neck, trailing the big tendon by the side of it. A hand grabbed his cheek and forced his head to turn, making the tendon tense even more. She couldn’t possibly see it in this darkness, but maybe she could sense it. The knife pressed against his tendon, one degree away from hurting for real.

The breathing came closer, and no matter how quiet Temari was, the squeaking of the bed announced to Shikamaru she had climbed up in it. One hand pressed on his ribcage, hard, forcing him to sink in between the pillows. The knife continued dancing above his throat, circling his Adam’s apple. He was now hard and tense, and couldn’t wait for Temari to lean down an kiss him.

He felt her crawl on top of his ribcage. She was naked now, he could feel it - the dampish spot on his skin where she sat, the small hairs tickling him.

“Kiss me now, woman,” he whispered, hoarsely, even if he knew Temari liked it the best when he was all quiet; when it was just a show with the knife and her wants.

She chuckled, pressed the dull side of the blade hard against his throat, leaned down and kissed him hungrily.

“Impatient, are we,” she snickered, and dragged the dull side of the knife down his ribcage. Soon it’d hit a sensitive spot, he knew that.

And he waited for it.

BARBBB, for the ask game, number 16 and 23!!

Oooh yay thank you for the asks! 🥰

16. What’s an AU you would love to read (or have read and loved)?

Okay so actually the other day, I got hit with the craving for an Alice in Wonderland AU and was like OH I really want to read that! As far as I can tell, I don’t think any Naruto/Boruto fics exist as such 👀 Even so though…I would love to read about Inojin getting lost down the rabbit hole like how cute would that be? 🥹 Maybe Shikadai as the Mad Hatter even? Idk I think it would be a really fun time 😊

23. What’s a trope, AU, or concept you’ve never written, but would like to?

Ooooh I love this question! Still very knew to fic writing, so there are a lot of things I’ve not gotten the chance to write about yet. This answer isn’t an AU, nor really a trope…hopefully it counts as a concept?

I think the one that I am most excited for (and also slightly worried about tackling) is a canon-verse story where the kiddos are on a mission. Like not just a cute or angsty little scenes that can fit into the already existing canon, more like an epic. A new mission with new enemies, new characters they have to help on the journey, fight scenes with new and already existing jutsu. The kind of story that’s the perfect arc where the characters face the biggest struggle they’ve ever had to overcome, and they fight blood, sweat, and tears learning new lessons about themselves, eachother, and the village along the way.

I think that is what I am most looking forward to hopefully getting to work on this year. I’m sure it will be fun, but mostly I know it’s gonna be a challenge for me to get it right. And I really want to push myself to write something beyond what I think I’m capable of ❤️

#thank you again for the questions!#so fun to come up with answers #love you bex ❤️#majsasaurus #feel free to ask me other questions too! 😊
