The next night Shikamaru was forced to go to Temari's house and watch a movie. He didn't want to go and be alone with her. She had a temper and if she tried to kill him, no one would be there to help. But he wanted to see if he could get her to squirm, as a way to get back at her for making him feel like an idiot.
Shikamaru knocked on the door and waited till Temari answered it.
"Hey, Shika." Temari smiled.
"Shika?"
"It's much easier to say than Shikamaru."
"It sounds stupid."
"Are you still upset about losing?"
"Don't flatter yourself." Shikamaru smirked and pushed past her. "So, what movie are we going to watch?"
"I don't know. Horror?" Temari shrugged.
"Oh, do you want me to hold you when you get scared?" Shikamaru teased, loving the look on her face.
"Yeah right, but if you don't want to I get it. Too scary for ya." Temari bumped into Shikamaru's shoulder on her way to the couch. "Make yourself useful and put the movie in, Shika."
Shikamaru sighed and put the movie in and pressed the start button before sitting on a chair. While other movie previews played Atiko came out of his room and saw the two sitting far away from each other. He shook his head and forced Shikamaru out of the chair and onto the couch. Before he left Atiko put paper bombs on the other furniture so neither of them could move.
"Enjoy." He smiled and closed the door.
Both groaned and watched the movie after moving as far away as they could.

During the movie Temari had paused it and gotten some popcorn and now Shikamaru and her were sharing, even after they had fought about it. While Shikamaru put his hand in to grab a handful of popcorn, his hand grazed something lightly. He didn't know what is was by the little feeling so he moved to grab it more without looking.
"Whoa, let go of me pineapple head!" Temari shouted.
"Sorry, I didn't know that was your hand!"
"Who else's hand would that be!" Temari punched him.
"God, you troublesome woman! I thought you'd be able to handle a hand, if you're the strong kunoichi you say you are."
"I can handle more than just a hand."
"So, this doesn't make you feel weird?"
Shikamaru inched his hand closer to Temari's, letting their pinkies touch. Temari looked down and then but up at Shikamaru.
"Nope." Temari held her head up high.
Shikamaru smirked and his hand moved over hers. He looked up with a questioning look. Temari smiled and faced him with an amused gleam in her eyes.
"Gonna have to try harder than that."
Shikamaru thought to himself and decided to just go as far as he could. He grabbed her hand fully and he rubbed it a few times with his thumb before bringing it to his lips. Just as he was about kiss it when there was nothing in his hands.
"Alright lazy ass, don't think I'm just going to let you do whatever you want with me. My body is not your play thing."
"Not yet." Shikamaru mumbled, but Temari heard and gave him a look.
"I'll never be you play thing." Temari crossed her arms, and watched as the movie ended.
