I got this idea from the same friend that gave me the idea for my Gaara story that some of you may have read. (It is called Your Future.) Just like all my other stories this is weird so be prepared. It is also kinda out of character. Please don't bite me!
BAD MORNING, GOOD DAY
Shikamaru loved soda. He loved the regular kind. He absolutely hated the diet kind. That made his mother, and even his girlfriend, get onto him about it. His mother claimed that it would make him fat and lazy. His girlfriend, Temari, just gave him ugly looks whenever he got one out or bought one at the store.
He had been hoping to spend a nice day at home without going somewhere with Temari. He hadn't passed this idea by her of course. He wanted to live a little longer, thank you. Well boy, was in for a rude awakening. "Shikamaru, your girlfriend is here!" He opened his eyes at his mother's call from down the stairs. He groaned as soon as he had figured out exactly what she had said. "Shikamaru, did you hear me!" He flung the pillow over his head hoping to block out his mother, even if it was only a little bit. When he thought that he was in the clear, he heard angry footsteps coming up the stairs. He knew what that meant. Just as he pictured what was about to happen in his own mind, his annoying, yelling mother burst into his room. She seemed to be dripping with rage that he had not come when she called. Now he was really in trouble. Oh, but if only that was the real problem.
Behind his mother he saw a very scary sight. Temari had a smirk on her face. That could only mean trouble. "Shikamaru, I…" his mother was suddenly cut off by Temari taking hold of her elbow. He and his mother both had a puzzled look on their faces. Temari pulled Shikamaru's mother a little closer so that she could whisper in her ear without being overheard. The smirk that Shikamaru had first seen on Temari's wicked face did not falter as she pulled away from Shikamaru's mother. Shikamaru felt a shiver run down his spine when he saw that now his mother ALSO had an evil smirk on her face. Then… his mother's face grew fierce yet again, though he could still see a hint of humor on that stone cold face of motherhood. "Shikamaru, if you don't get up right now… I'll start buying diet cokes instead of regular." Shikamaru moved so fast he would have made a cheetah look slow. He shoved the two girls out of the room so that he could dress. When he finished and descended the stairs he found Temari waiting for him near the door.
"You really hate me don't you?" he asked in a calm, tired, lazy voice that brought out a genuine smile on her this time.
In response to his playful question she answered, "You really like regular coke don't you?"
He smiled at her and she smiled one of her very rare genuine smiles. She only showed him a genuine smile when there was no one else around. He was fine with that. He considered it a special part of their relationship that only they knew about. When they were out of the house Temari dragged her still tired boyfriend to the hill that they loved to go to whenever she was in town. When they got there, they followed their normal routine and lay down in the grass together. Shikamaru had planned on spending his time at home by himself today. But when he thought about it, he would much rather spend the day lying around watching the clouds with the girl that gave him such sweet smiles. Those smiles only came from her. And they were only meant for him. So he had a bad morning. That didn't mean he couldn't have a good day.
So what do ya think? This is my first Temari and Shikamaru kinda romance thing. Please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas that would make it better. THANK YOU!
