Awaken
A/N
Long time no see guys...
Thanks to Beautyofthe dark-KLM, I have been inspired to get off my ass and publish another story after however long I've been :)
Please review the story, more reviews mean more encouragement to continue writing :D
He awoken with a silent yawn, mouth stretched in a manner similar to a cat up from his slumber.
A slight headache arose, probably had a cup or too too much to drink last night with Temari...
Temari, the lazy young man thought, before trying to figure out where he was.
To his distress, and not one that would cause such feelings often, he found himself in his bed.
Crap, he thought as he tried to sit up. I was meant to be on the couch tonight, not the woman. I better hope she doesn't beat me –"
His hand, upon trying to give himself leverage, placed itself on top of something that was not his bed sheet, or mattress, or pillow.
It was hair. Not the dark tone of his own, but the sandy blonde of a friend that he had shared a drink with after offering her to stay the night. Although as he recalled, she more or less invited herself.
Oh no. I wasn't that drunk...was I?
Instinctively, he checked under the sheets. Thankfully, his pants and her clothes were all still on
Close. This'd be a troublesome morning if it had turned out to be that sort of situation.
Shikamaru let out a quiet breath of relief, happy to know he wouldn't die today due to his actions under the influence of some sake and wine.
After a minute, he observed the girl beside him, for once looking peaceful. Ties no longer keeping the four pigtails up, Temari's hair flowed around her. He half expected her to be one to snore, but she lay there as quiet as him, chest slowly rising and falling. One arm parallel to her body, the other fallen on her stomach, rising and falling to the beat of her breath.
He felt almost entranced, until Shikamaru realised what an awkward situation he had created for himself by doing it
Troublesome girl, annoying me just by doing nothing.
Memories of the night before began to return. The young man began to remember chuckling with her about...something, before he helped Temari into the bed, then letting himself lie down for a few minutes.
It made him wonder how he could have possibly woken up before Temari, until he remembered another part of last night in terms of who had more to drink. The sun had already risen, and within minutes the light from the window would find its way angled towards her face, disturbing the peaceful woman, regardless of how much she had last night.
A slight movement came from the other side of the bed, and Temari's position had changed. Her slumber was nearly at its end
Better bail before she gets the wrong idea, Shikamaru thought to himself, before quietly leaving the bed. With another silent yawn and a scratch to the head, he tied his hair back and quietly left the room, checking on her once more before leaving. He told himself it was only to make sure she wasn't awake, and nothing else.
As the door slowly closed behind him, The young woman slowly half-opened an eye. Seeing that he was gone, she closed it once again, a slight headache beginning to form. She smiled though, recalling the events of last night and the silent morning.
Temari curled up in the sheets, deciding to rest a few minutes more.
"He'd better have made breakfast by the time I get out."
End.
