A/N – I'm bored and I'm starting to read a lot of Naruto X Shikamaru fanfictions. I realized after reading about twelve of them that there weren't that many. So, here I am as the Ultimate Crack-Shipper, to provide you with some daily doses of crack shipping! Yeah! I'm honestly bored…Also, I'm going to be using 'Imagine Your OTP' ideas for these Naruto X Shikamaru one-shots.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or any of these 'Imagine Your OTP' ideas. I wish I did because then I would have no story ideas.

One-Shot Summary: Naruto is a college student going to his seven-in-the-morning class. He meets a strange person that gives him some strange news. (I know, it's bad, get off my case).

Pairing: Naruto X Shikamaru

Monster and Coffee Don't Mix

Naruto looked down at his phone, jogging quickly through the gates of Konoha University. He only had fifteen more minutes to get to class before he was late. Ebisu-sensei would absolutely destroy him if he were to be late again this week. He couldn't help it. His damn pet fox, Kurama, kept breaking his stuff and running his uniforms. It was becoming annoying. He rushed down the corridors, taking a left before booking it down the hall. Naruto stared at his phone, legs increasing in speed as he did so. He has three minutes before Ebisu-sensei will chew him out.

The older man looked startled when Naruto skidded to a stop inside the doorway of the classroom. Ebisu had to hold in a chuckle, "Glad to see that you aren't late again, Mr. Uzumaki."

"Y-Yeah." Naruto gave a passive wave, heart rate finally slowing down. He walked up the steps towards the place he usually sat. Unlike high school, there was no such thing as assigned seats in college… or at least in his college, there was no such thing. He whipped a bead of sweat from his brow, placing his bag down beside him before pulling out the necessities for class. Just as he had pulled some notes out from yesterday, the bell rang. Ebisu glanced up at the class, looking at the door. It was like he was suspecting something with the way he leaned on one foot with his arms crossed across his chest. He tapped his foot, not saying a word as he started to stare at the classroom door.

After about a minute, it creaked open. A guy with coffee in his hands walked in lazily. He blinked slowly at the teacher, "Yo."

"Go sit down, Mr. Nara," Ebisu stated sternly, pointing towards the rows of seats.

The black-haired man rolled his eyes, searching for an empty seat. Naruto watched the pineapple-headed man walking up the steps as Ebisu began his lesson. 'Mr. Nara' plopped down beside him with a sigh of pure exhaustion. Naruto blinked curiously at him, not aware that he was staring. Seeming to sense that he was staring, the gut turned towards him with a bored expression. The blond-haired man blushed in embarrassment for being caught staring and tried to focus on the lesson Ebisu was providing his with.

That was until Naruto heard a can being opened to his right. He whipped his head towards the pineapple-haired dude. He was still looking at Naruto with the same expression as before but with a Monster energy drink in his hand. Said man watched as 'Mr. Nara' took off the lid on his coffee and started pouring the Monster into it. The blond-haired man stared with shock. Once done, the bored man smirked, "I'm going to die."

And he drank the whole thing.

Naruto watched in pained awe and indescribable shock as this Nara dude kept at it, not letting one ounce of his Monster coffee combination go to waste. After the black-haired pineapple dude finished, he slammed the cup down on his desk and went back to the lesson. Naruto blinked slowly before turning to listen in on Ebisu drone on about something completely unrelated to what they were learning

Twenty minutes later, 'Mr. Nara' disappeared to the bathroom. He had looked pale and his hands were shaking. Naruto didn't think much of it; the guy was already pale and it looked like he was exhausted. You can shake from exhaustion; Naruto had reminded himself. However, thirty minutes later, the blond-haired man found that he had to pee. Ebisu allowed Naruto to leave the classroom and head to the bathroom. He was glad to finally be out in the halls so that he could stretch his legs and not have his mind fried by Ebisu-sensei's boring voice.

The minute Naruto stepped foot in the bathroom, he heard someone throwing up. There was also a pretty rank smell in the air, He blinked and covered his face with a hand. He peaked underneath the stalls, seeing someone on their hands and knees over the toilets. Naruto internally groaned and walked to the side slowly, the vomiting continues. All the stall doors were open, the urinals in front of them. That meant that Naruto would be able to see who was puking in the stalls before having to pee. "Ugh… Why does this always happen to me?" He groaned internally, heading over to the urinals. Curiosity got the best of him and he looked to see who was having a bad day. He stopped in realization.

It was the pineapple-head dude from Ebisu-sensei's class!

"It was probably from him pouring Monster in his coffee." Naruto thought. He wondered what to do but later went with the more… humane thing to do. "Hey." He called out. The pineapple-head guy turned his head, face looking sickly pale before turning back to the toilet and throwing up again. Naruto walked up behind him and placed a hand on the guy's shoulder, "You going to be okay?"

The other nodded, breathless, "Y-Yeah… Monster and coffee… don't mix together."

He chuckled, rubbing 'Mr. Nara's' back as he threw up again, "I'm Naruto Uzumaki."

The black-haired man nodded, wiping the bile off his mouth with the back of his hand, "S-Shikamaru Nara."

"Well, I hope you feel better, Shikamaru." Naruto gave him a bright smile. Shikamaru gave a small smile back before puking out his guts again. The other man stayed with him in the bathroom to make sure he was okay.

Shikamaru made another friend that day and Naruto learned to never mix Monster and coffee together.

Imagine Your OTP Scenario:

"My favorite college experience is when I had a 7 AM class and the kid next to me literally poured a monster energy drink into his coffee said "I'm going to die" and drank the whole thing."
