A/N and Disclaimer: Yeah, so I still don't own Naruto and I never will. I also don't own the song used in this fic. This song is in Spanish, called "Jueves" (Thursday) by "La Oreja de Van Gogh" (Van Gogh's Ear), and the lyrics I used here is an english traduction I found on the internet.

I should also point out that I cut the last four scentences (or whatever they're called) of the song, because at the end of the song they die, but I SURELY don't want this story to be tragic, so…

And finally, both the song and the fic are in her (Temari's) POV, and the fic is in an AU…


Temari's Weakness

If I was prettier, and a little smarter
If I was special, if I was like a model
I would have the courage to cross the carriage
and ask who you are

I walked towards the train station like I did every morning. I made my way through the station and sat down on the usual place I sit down, waiting for the morning train to pick me up and leave me in front of where I work. And then I saw him

I was sure my heart stopped, like it did every morning. He was the cutest guy I had ever seen. I have seen him every morning in the past month, and I swear this is love at first sight. I only know his name because of a nametag he wears in his work uniform, because he hasn't even noticed that I sit across him every morning on the same place.

You sit in front of me, and don't even imagine
That for you I am wearing my prettiest skirt
And on seeing you heave a yawn at the window pane
My eyes well up

I just kept staring at him, like I did every single morning, from Monday to Friday. And I surely hate the weekends because I can't see him. Suddenly, the train came up to the station we're on, stops, and the doors open. I stand up from my current sitting place, holding my skirt. Damn, this skirt is my shortest working skirt, and I hate it. But I surely hope he notices me today. I mean, I am wearing this skirt to get his attention, but I've only gotten the attention from two ten-graders. Hmph, kids and their hormones these days…

I make sure to take a seat in front of him, or really near him. Today I managed to get a seat across him. Yes! After a couple of minutes he yawns. He looks really bored. He's just looking out the window. Damn, if I just had the courage to go up to him and say something!

Suddenly you look at me, I look back and you sigh
I close my eyes, and you look away
I can hardly breathe, I'm feeling smaller
And I start shaking

I found myself smiling just looking at him. I probably do this every morning, though. But then the thing I never thought that would happen, happened. He is looking at me! I mean, he is looking at me, right? Yeah, he is! Oh my god! What do I do?!

I just looked back, normally. After a couple of seconds he sighed, still looking at me. I got so nervous that the only thing that came to mind was to close my eyes. I hear him mutter something that sounded a lot like "troublesome". After a couple of seconds, I opened my eyes, and he was already looking away. I think I felt myself shaking after this…I sure hope he noticed how cute I look…I mean, I'm not very pretty, but people have to admit that I look cute in this skirt…

And thus pass the days from Monday to Friday.
Like the swallows from the poem by Bécquer
From station to station, in front of you and me
Silence comes and goes

About four more weeks passed since that day. The day that he looked at me. And damn, he had an expression I couldn't really figure out…I wish he would just look at me again…

Suddendly you look at me, I look back and you sigh
I close my eyes, and you look away
I can hardly breathe, I'm feeling smaller
And I start shaking

And then it happens, my lips wake up
They pronounce your name, stuttering
I assume you're thinking: "What a stupid girl"
And I want to die

Okay…why did I have to wish for that?! He is looking this way again! W-what do I do?! I closed my eyes without even thinking. Damn it! What do I do now?

I opened my eyes to check if he was still looking at me, which he was. Then, I did the thing that I never thought I would do.

"S…S-shikam-maru" I said out loud, and I am pretty sure he heard me.

But then time stops, and you come to me saying
"I don't even know you, and I already miss you
Every morning, I turn down the non-stop
And choose this train"

I see him standing up. He's probably going to get another seat. He may think I'm stalking him or something…

My thoughts were proven wrong when he approaches me and sits by my side.

"You know something?" He said looking at me. I looked back at him with a blush on my face. His voice is so cute! And he is talking to me! Say something, damn it, Temari!

"W-what?" I said. He smiled to me, and then looked away. I had never seen him smile. This made me blush even harder. He had a really cute smile.

"I don't mean to sound…weird or anything, but…" he started, and then looked back at me. "I don't even know you and I already miss you…"

I just kept staring at him with a blank expression. "Every morning I choose this train to go to my work. But I actually have a car" he said. I couldn't say anything. I was too shocked that he was talking to me.

"I don't even like trains. But I took it one day just for curiosity, and something caught my eye. I kept coming for the rest of the week to see if she still came, and she did. Then, I just kept coming…to see her everyday…to see you everyday…" he said.

A couple of minutes passed, and we were just staring at each other. "Well, since you know my name, can I know yours?" he said, with another smile.

"M-my name i-is Temari" I finally said.

"Temari" he repeated. "I like that name"


And we are arriving, my life has changed
A special day, this March 11
You take my hand, we arrive at a tunnel
Where the lights go off

About three years later, I went to the station. It was the morning of Thursday, March 11. I saw Shikamaru waiting for me on a bench. When I approach him, he stands up. He took me in his arms and pressed his lips against mine. I kissed him back gladly. He the sits back down, signaling me to sit at his side. I did so. We just talked until the train arrived. Then we went in and sat down where we usually do.

We arrive at a tunnel. I love this tunnel because here is where he asked me to be his girlfriend about a year and a half ago. But when I least expected it, I see him standing up. I give him a confused expression, and he just smiles. Then, he bents down on his knees and takes a little box out of his pocket.

"Temari…I hope you don't think I'm being too forward. But I love you so much, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you…" he started, and then opened the little box. "Will you marry me, Temari?"

I just sat there in total shock. Then, I felt the tears forming up in my eyes. "Of course I'l marry you Shikamaru!" I said. He smiled and put the ring on my hand. After that, I stood up too and gave him a sweet kiss.

Since that day on, I love taking this train with my husband everyday when we are heading for work.

Yay! This is the fourth fanfic I write in one shot! It took me like, what, 2 hours? Well, anyway, see ya later! Hope you liked it!
