This is my first fanfic on so please, be kind in your reviews. Remember, this is a drabble ficlet, so it's short. No flames, please.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, and it doesn't look like Kishimoto-sensei is keen on selling the rights either.

Title: Tea for Two
Pairing: ShikaTema


It was raining, and she was late.

The young chuunin checked his watch again. He finally got the nerve to ask her out properly, and at first she had declined, but later that day, she had said yes. But she was late, and it was almost as bad as saying no. Girls were so troublesome.

He glanced up and down the street. There was a figure walking towards on the sidewalk. Could it be-?

"Sorry I'm late, my broth-"

Her words were cut off as he kissed her fiercely, his hands solid against her back, pressing her to him. She reached up and stuck her hands deep into his ponytail, undoing it and running her hands through his hair. They held each other, until he suddenly pulled back.

"Just don't be late again."

She nodded. The two of them walked into the restaurant, hands barely touching, and their faces wet and streaked from the rain.


A/N: That wasn't so bad... who am I kidding?
