    Summary

    "Any other shinobi in the Leaf Village likely wouldn’t have noticed, but when it came to skills of observation, Shikamaru Nara wasn’t any other shinobi. He noticed when Sasuke didn’t let go of Naruto’s wrist right away after talking him out of an explosive demonstration. He noticed when a pale thumb brushed along that same wrist, and he noticed when the Hokage’s cheeks reddened immediately after.

    Naruto and Sasuke’s eyes met, and the latter quickly dropped the wrist and used that hand to slam a shot that had been given to him by a neighboring patron. The competitive banter continued, the blush faded, the patrons in the bar continued to shout and joke and laugh and it was as if the moment never happened. But Shikamaru noticed."
