Summary
Shikamaru and Ino have always been best friends. Born just a day apart in a beachy tourist town that only comes alive in the summer, they’re determined to have the best season and subsequent senior year before they’re off to college. But Shikamaru can’t help the feelings that he secretly harbors for Ino, and he’s finding it harder and harder to keep it from her. A whirlwind summer, two friends dancing on the edge of something greater, and pure shenanigans unfold. Will Shikamaru be able to keep his feelings to himself until college, where he hopes distance will kill the feelings that he thinks will never be requited?
Modern high-school AU that begins at the end of their junior year, and progresses throughout their senior year, most likely even a bit of college. Teenagers, romance, booze, bonfires, boardwalks! Read the notes on the first chapter for more info on the timeline of this fic, I’m so bad at descriptions!
