SHIKAMARU
The sun was unusually bright as I turned over, groping fo my blanket- but instead of it's fleece covering, I found a warm body.
My eyes shot open, and fell on a certain blond, her hair falling around her shoulders and face.
She was curled into me and I smiled for just a moment, brushing some of her silky hair away from her eyes.
"Shika?" she murmured, rolling over.
My eyes widened, as I realized she was completely nude.
"Tem. Wake up. NOW." I said, standing. Then, I realized I wasn't much better, I was just wearing my jacket and I was freaking cold!
Yanking my clothes on, I shook Temari again, to which she rolled over again, giving me a truly lovely view of her rearend.
I paused to appreciate it, then hauled her to her feet.
Her eyes snapped open, then narrowed in a glare.
"Why'd you do that?" she asked, her voice deadly.
I looked down, the edge of my mouth curling into a smirk.
Following my gaze, she shrieked and dived for her clothes.
A couple minutes later, she was fully dressed, and we were walking back to Kohona.
She reached out, locking our fingers, with a shy smile.
"Shika, does this mean we're . . . like dating now?"
I paused, thinking.
"If you want to," I said truthfully. "Or, we could just go on our way, and remember that night forever." I finished, looking down at the blond.
She gripped my hand tighter.
"I . . . really like you, Shikamaru."
I stopped, turning her.
I used two fingers to lift her chin.
"I do too, Temari."
Temari
I felt my heart stutter for a moment, then I leaned forward, placing a light kiss on his lips.
"C'mon," he said, joining hands again. "I'll take you to breakfast, troublesome woman."
Epilogue
Two years after they started dating, Shika proposed, and Temari accepted.
Later, they had one little boy, which they named Shikadai.
And they lived happily ever, after . . .
