A/N: Lollipop-Mania made this wonderful drabble collection—10 Words and dedicated it to me ~sugoi!~…and it's now Feb 14 and I still don't have any idea what to do, so I'll try using Lollipop-Mania's prompts—let's see

Cued

It's another Valentine's Day in Konoha; everyone keeps their smiles plastered on their goofy love sick faces.

Everyone, except Shikamaru who just murmurs another exasperated, "Tch.". He just had a stupid argument with Temari over a shogi game. The troublesome woman is a sore loser and now, he is sore all over for winning. Then the woman has the gall to walk out which requires him to go after her. Talk about troublesome!

Walking, strolling more like, with his arms folded behind his head, he checks every possible place Temari might have went to.

"What a drag." Shikamaru sighs to himself. The training ground is deserted. Next, he tries the hill and, whadaya know, three couples are already occupying any possible spot without encroaching on the other's privacy—and no single woman with blonde hair, arguing by herself is seen.

Starting to sweat by now, with everything not going according to his plan and with the added annoyance of searching for Temari, Shikamaru is tempted to just go home.

But he couldn't. Giving his proposal tomorrow or the day next to that is not the same as giving it today. Exhaling a deep breath, Shikamaru ambles along until he reaches the last store on the block.

He just momentarily glances at the glass display of the shop and immediately has his heart stop beating. There inside, he spies Temari smiling genuinely— making her look different…beautiful even— at the saleswoman who is showing her something.

Immediately, he opens the door and goes inside the shop, curious at what made Temari transform from a scary bitch to almost happy bitch.

"Oi woman, what's that?" Shikamaru notes Temari's surprised expression as she immediately conceal, enclosing within her fists an item packed in plastic.

"Nothing! What you doing here, ass?" the woman rasps, defensively.

"I'll buy it for you. Consider it your gift from me." Shikamaru eyes the hidden item. It appears small enough and it did make Temari's lips turn upward—an impossible feat most of the time.

Temari hurriedly pockets the item. "Okay, pay for it then."

Too late, Shikamaru finally notices the twisted delight in Temari's eyes and realizes that whatever it is he just offered to buy her, it spells his doom. After all, taking in the shop, Shikamaru observes that it specializes in exotic goods—scented soaps, whips, cuffs, some feathers, ropes and, what the hell, a ball and chain.

"Let's go!" Shikamaru immediately pays the saleslady for the item and grabs Temari's arm, pulling her out of the shop.

Once outside, Shikamaru entreats, "I'll do anything—just don't use whatever that thing is."

Temari raises one dainty brow, a smile almost playing at her lips. "Anything?"

"Yeah."

"Hmn." Temari leans closer towards Shikamaru and whispers on his ear, her breath hot as she says suggestively, "A cunnilingus. If I'm totally satisfied…then maybe I won't use it."
