"So happy birthday." Temari said kissing Shikamaru. The group was sitting in a booth in a crappy roadhouse upstate. It was rundown and they were probably the only people there that didn't ride Harleys. The bar had topless girls dancing on it and the jukebox was playing paradise city. Naruto was dancing with the girls, Ino was getting hit on by some biker, Chouji was drowning in Captains like there was no Shikamaruorrow… and if he kept chugging there might not be for him.
"Come on man," Kiba said pulling Chouji out of the pitcher. Mitsou laughed.
"I think its cool how you look out for your friends." Mitsou said sliding next to Kiba.
"Oh yeah," Kiba said sliding his arm over her shoulder. "Well… let's get a sixer and you can tell me what else you like about me."
"Don't push your luck." Mitsou said. Shikamaru noticed that she didn't move away, actually she got a little closer. Oh man, here we go… Shikamaru said.
"Yo," Shikamaru called to the waitresses. "Jack all around, leave the bottle."
"Except for Chouji," Kiba said out of the corner of his mouth.
"Right except for Chouji." Shikamaru corrected. Noting that Kiba was moving in for the kill Shikamaru decided to amend his order.
"Better make it two bottles… oh and see the guy dancing with the topless girls?"
The waitress nodded. "What about him?"
"He thinks you're body is rockin'." Shikamaru said. And with that the waitress went on her way. She came back and left them a
large sum of alcohol, then she went to go pull Naruto into the bathroom. Now somewhere in the night Kiba and Mitsou slipped away, Chouji passed out. Ino was off doing her own thing and Naruto was doing the waitress. Shikamaru wasn't exactly coherent after the fifth bottle made its way to the table so Temari decided to take him to the pickup truck. She had it all planned out. She'd lay him down in the bed and they'd just relax until the others made their way out. What she didn't count on, well for starters was how heavy Shikamaru was, and secondly was Kiba and Mitsou having beat them to the truck.
"OH MY GOD!" Temari shrieked. Kiba looked up and so Mitsou screamed. They both scrambled for their clothes.
"Dude," Shikamaru said, trying his best to sound sober. "What were you doing in my truck?"
"Your girl's roommate." Kiba said with a shrug.
"Not cool." Shikamaru glared.
After everyone had managed to make it out of the bar in various forms of undress the group went home. From one 'til three they sat on the benches lining Brooklyn Heights. Shikamaru had his arm around Temari, Naruto had the waitress in his lap, Kiba was passing out beer with Mitsou and Ino and Chouji were passed out. Friggin' lightweights. Shikamaru thought cracking open his can of beer.
"Hey Kiba," Shikamaru said. "You always carry a pocket knife right?"
"Yeah." Kiba said handing a beer to Mitsou.
"Give it to me." Shikamaru said holding out his hand.
"Why?" He tossed a beer to Naruto.
"So I can gouge my eyes out."
"Ha, it was a beautiful natural act Shikamaru." Kiba said sitting down.
"It was a flying camel." Shikamaru glowered.
"So Kiba finally committed a sexual act in something you own?" Naruto asked. "He cannot keep it in his pants to save his
life."
"Two words Dave." Kiba declared. "John-Mayer."
"It was dark!" Naruto said in his defense.
"Hold up," Temari interrupted. "What's a flying Camel?"
"It's when the guy is doing he-"
"We really don't need to talk about it." Mitsou cut Naruto off.
"No I wanna know too." The waitress said.
"Well he's doing her in the-"
"No, no we'll talk about it later." Kiba said. "Besides we still need to get Naruto a purple heart."
"You were in the army?" The waitress asked. Shikamaru couldn't help but snicker.
"Not exactly," Kiba said with a smirk.
"Shut up guys."
"He did jump on a grenade though." Kiba said. Everyone burst out laughing.
"Man, shut up you did your best friend's sister! Bro-foul!" Naruto declared. Shikamaru just shook his head grinning, and drank
some more.
"Hey," Temari whispered.
"Yeah?" Shikamaru asked still grinning.
"I had fun tonight." She said.
"Who said the nights over?" Shikamaru asked. "It is my birthday after all."
"Hmm…" Temari said. "Promise you'll respect me in the morning?"
"Do I respect you now?" Shikamaru asked. That earned him an elbow to the gut. "Oof, ok promise. Besides, it's the morning
right now."
"You know what I mean." Temari said. "I'm not a slut."
"Never said you were." Shikamaru said. "Besides, slut, whore, man-whore, they're all just terms of judgment, it's about perception."
"That hasn't stopped you from calling me a man-whore!" Kiba said.
"Yeah same!" Naruto declared.
"Well I perceive you guys as man-whores, I don't think Temari's as cheap as you." Shikamaru said walking… stumbling back to the
truck.
"I'm not cheap." They both said at the same time.
"It takes a six pack and a chick to get you into the sack, relax man, I'm a guy too, we're all the same." Shikamaru said as he
fumbled with the keys. Finally he got the car started and they drove back to the apartment. "Find your own way home guys."
"Bros before hos!" Naruto shouted at the trucks rear bumper. Shikamaru laughed. They pulled up to the apartment at around four and Shikamaru had become slightly more coherent. They stumbled upstairs laughing every time they would trip. Eventually they got to Shikamaru's room. Temari got her pants off and tried to unbutton her shirt but Shikamaru just tore it off of her.
"Hey!" Temari said before Shikamaru covered her lips with his.
"I'll buy you a new one." Shikamaru said when they finally broke.
"With what money?" Temari asked with a smirk. Shikamaru grinned back and lifted her up, hitching her legs around his waist.
"Ok, I'll steal you a new one." He said biting through her bra. He was still a little drunk so he leaned against a wall while they made out until he wanted more, then he just turned around and slammed her into the wall. Mi was laughing while Shikamaru pounded into her. She groaned when her back smacked against the wall and Shikamaru got the message. He swept his table clean and threw her down.
"Ow." Temari said not really minding.
"You'll live." Shikamaru said leaning down into her. The rest of the morning was just sex. Angry, rough, drunken sex.
Eventually they were both spent and Temari lay back on Shikamaru's bed. Shikamaru grinned looking over her naked body in the morning sun. He was a college drop out with no prospects. He had done very well for himself. He grabbed some cigarettes and climbed out onto the fire escape to enjoy a smoke after sex and the quiet morning. The only time you could ever find quiet in Brooklyn.
Temari relaxed for a few minutes to catch her breath. Then she got up and joined Shikamaru on the fire escape. She plucked the cigarette out of his hand and took a long drag.
"I thought cigarettes were bad for you." Shikamaru said with a smirk.
"I can indulge every now and again." Temari said smiling. They sat there in silence for a while just enjoying the sight of a
peaceful New York city. After a few minutes Temari broke the silence. "So happy birthday." Shikamaru started laughing. "What?"
"That's it?" Shikamaru said between laughs. "We were having a real moment here and the best you have is happy birthday?"
"Aw shut up." Temari said smacking him and taking another drag. "Not every line can be something deep and philosophical.
"I guess you're right." Shikamaru said kissing her again stealing her smoke.
"Well, now what?"
"Now?" Shikamaru asked. "You make breakfast."
"You're a chauvinistic ass."
"Yes I am." Shikamaru said taking his cigarette back. Temari climbed back into the apartment and started making some pancakes. Right when Shikamaru was beginning to zone out again a voice came from the side walk.
"Oh my boy got it in!" Naruto called.
"What else did you expect?" Shikamaru yelled down.
"Way to go bro." Kiba hollered up.
"Where's Temari?" Mitsou asked.
"Making breakfast." Shikamaru said with a grin. Temari ran up to the window and smacked him. Well, it better than last year's birthday. Shikamaru thought wistfully.
