Pride
Each and every Hyuuga was a very proud person, young Neji being no exception. Pride was imprinted on the Hyuuga's minds from birth, just as love, charity and happiness was built into normal children. When a person has pride in abundance, they tend to be very possessive over the things that they own, Neji was definitely not an exception to this rule. If you so much as look the wrong way at his Shikamaru, you better watch out.
Lust
Shikamaru didn't lust over much, but watching his long-haired lover like that was really getting to him. He just couldn't deal. Being the level-headed person he was, he averted his gaze, attempting to focus on other things, the clouds out the window, the dull pattern of the carpet, but his vision was foggy, all he could see was the image of his boyfriend doing that. Giving into his lust and the heat that was spreading through his body, he pounced.
Gluttony
Neji didn't like to admit it, but he was a fussy eater. He wouldn’t say anything if he didn't like the food in front of him, but the way he would just pick at the plate, it was obvious to those who paid attention to him that he didn't approve. Hinata used to worry, back when he lived at the Hyuuga compound, because he didn't eat well at all, she believed. Sometimes, several nights would pass before there was something that he deemed edible. Little did she know, he had his stash of chocolate biscuits hidden in his closet, and it was Shikamaru who made sure he had enough to keep him going.
Sloth
Shikamaru would never protest if someone called him lazy. In fact, he would just tweak his lips in an ever so cute way, agreeing silently. Though, Shikamaru wasn't actually lazy. He just liked not having to do anything, he enjoyed relaxing. That didn't make him lazy. Even when Neji yelled at him for being 'a lazy asshole who should learn to clean up after himself' he just smiled away to himself, knowing he wasn't really lazy, he just chose not to do things that involved effort.
Wrath
Neji was angry. No, he was more than angry; he was way past the trivial feeling of anger. His (more than) anger wasn't shown as many people show theirs, through shouting or violence. He was beyond that. His hands were shaking slightly, his face heated in an oh so delicious way, at least, that was what Shikamaru would think if his wasn't trembling in fear, he wasn't you to seeing Neji this way.
"Take that back." Neji's voice came in a snarl, and if Shikamaru's mouth wasn't glued shut because it was the thing that made Neji like this in the first place, the only thing coming out of it would've been 'Of course!'
Envy
Neji remember back to the way he used to see Shikamaru laugh and smile with Naruto and bit back a grimace. He knew he couldn't offer Shikamaru the same thing, even though he was the one the deer-boy had chosen when everything blew up in all their faces. Sometimes he wondered if he should try to be more like Naruto, as he could tell that the Nara missed the boisterous spontaneity of the other boy every so often. Where Naruto was one extreme, Neji was the other, and Neji couldn't see what he had that was better than the blonde. Once he voiced this to Shikamaru, but all he could say was "troublesome Hyuuga, I love you.".
Greed
Shikamaru was only greedy when it came to one thing, Neji. Neji's time and Neji's person, he liked to believe was all his, but as much as he got, he just wanted more. He could spend all day with Neji, and still wish there was more time. Shikamaru didn't really understand this feeling, it was not one he felt often, but being one who tended to go with his whims, he started spending every free second with the man. It took him a while to figure out why he felt like this, but after his genius mind surmised it was because he loved him, nothing could stop him from his greed.
