A/N:

haha, I got something up besides RF! Whoo-hoo!


Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol- ShikaTem

It wasn't just the clouds that fascinated him. In fact, it wasn't even the clouds. They just happened to be in Shikamaru's line of sight. He wasn't sure what it was. Maybe it was the simplicity of it. The sky wasn't complicated. It simply was. Nothing more. Or, possibly, it was the vastness of it all. It reminded him of something. Something that made the youth smile ever so slightly. Temari was the one. That one person that everyone dreams of someday attaining.

He closed his eyes, the shade of the large oak tree that he was lying beneath allowing him to do this without seeing an uncomfortable red blur. The sigh that escaped his lips was thin, but still audible. Particularly to the young blond woman that stepped from behind the tree.

She softly lowered herself beside Shikamaru, who didn't look to see who it was, simply because he knew.

"Hello," Temari whispered in Shikamaru's ear, her warm breath tickling the skin and sending tingles down his spine.
"Hey," he whispered back. He cracked open an eye to see his girlfriend, and sighed again.

"Discover anything new about the universe today?"
He chuckled softly. "Not yet. You?"

"Oh, I'm no genius like you." Shikamaru rocked his head off to the side, staring at Temari rather intently, an eyebrow raised. She blushed lightly. "I mean, today's been pretty damn boring." She smiled and laid back on the soft grass.

The two's left and right sides were touching from shoulder to ankle. It was a comfortable pressure on both.

"What do you see?" Shikamaru asked after several minutes of silence.

Temari half-shrugged, her dark eyes trained on the sky above. "I see a lot of blue."

"And?"

She gave him a funny look. "What else? There isn't anything."

Shikamaru nodded. "Yeah, there is." He gestured at the sky. "You just gotta look really hard."

Temari squinted at the blue, confusion registering in her eyes. "I think you've gone crazy, Shikamaru."

He looked at her. "Maybe."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

He shrugged, much like Temari had earlier. "I don't know. I like you." He propped himself up on an elbow and leaned over her, looking down into her eyes. "What do you see now?"

She blushed, tentatively reaching up to stroke a long strand of hair that had fallen before his eyes between her thumb and forefinger, and kissed him gently on his lips.

"I love you," Shikamaru whispered, letting his lips linger on hers as he spoke softly.

Temari looked at him for a moment and smiled.


A/N:

Aww, I just love ShikaTem. It's so cute! All right, so this won't be updated quickly (not that she EVER updates quickly) because its just my drabble/venting thing. But if I DO do another soon, it'll probably be ItaSasu, but not in the sexy way, but in kind of the brotherly way (We all know Mizery. She's gonna put some sexy stuff in it). Anyway, I just thought this would be fun to kinda, put out there. So, yeah.

Reviewz?

Nevermind, I don't expect them for this one.
