I think the aftermath between the two had more depth and understanding.

Ah! Don’t stop there! I want to know what’s next. Please update soon! Shika/naru are my favorite pair. Plus I really just want shika to scoop naruto up, apartment and all, and hide him away at Shikamaru’s house just to get naruto to start feeling safe. I can’t wait to see what you do next!

I hope the land lord won’t do anything . Great story btw! Shikamaru is gonna make a difference in Narutos life weather he realizes it or not. You go shika! Hope you feel better and I’m eagerly awaiting the next installment!

Geez, Shika is going to give himself a guilt complex from all them mistakes he's making with naruto.

I love this chapter. Its so good. I reallt enjoy this so much. Thanks for sharing

Heh, you'd think anyone in the hospital would do WHATEVER it took NOT to get on Tsunade's bad side. And hoorayfor the warm and fuzzy feelings, all of them.

I'm loving this, even more than my first read through! you are such a talented writer with great potential for future works!

Nice. :D

Oh geez my emotions this is great

I like it. Naruto's emotions would be all over the place and easily moved after the trauma.

Poor Naruto, poor Shikamaru.

I'm loving reading this again as you update! seeing how your writing has grown and matured is beautiful!

oh my gods, this is a masterpiece, it’s so well written. hands down this is the best fanfiction i’ve read in a while, even tough i just read 2 parts. i cant wait for new parts every week.

Heh, yeah that is one way to shock someone into actually thinking about the way they feel for someone.

Poor shika, that is definitely something beyond shocking to come across.
