This story isn't too good. But I'm honoring someone. So stick with me here.

Temari smiled at the quaint little hotel room. Shikamaru could only afford one, but thank heavens it had two beds. She sat down on the once closest to the door and waited for him to pass. He only stared at her.

The train ride had been long, and they hadn't talked much throughout the whole thing.

Temari looked up at him with deep eyes. He stared blankly back and set down his back-pack.

She frowned. Had he always been so weird? She didn't know. She hoped not.

"So?" He asked.

She stared at him. "What?" She asked.

"Are you going to go to sleep or something?"

She shook her head. He sighed. He had wanted to be up all night reading or something like that, but now she was going to be up and annoying him.

She raised an eyebrow. He sure did like his alone time. She pulled out a wallet and smiled weakly at him. "If you don't want me to annoy you, I can probably afford another room."

She started towards the door, aiming to pick up her back pack and leave so this freak could be alone, but something stopped her.

She could feel his arms slide over her shoulders and hug her gently. "Stay." She heard him whisper in her ear.

Temari was so surprised, that for a moment, she couldn't even remember where she was. Shikamaru? Hugging her from behind? She coughed.

He let go and walked back. "You don't have to." He said. "But…I want you to."

"I will." She said, turning. She stared at him for a good clean moment, and then set up a quick tent of sheets she had stuffed into her back pack. Hanabi would probably snap at her. Even for sleeping in a hotel room bed.

She stared, thinking, until Shikamaru speak. "Don't think that's what I want." He snapped.

She looked up. "Huh?"

"I can FEEL your thoughts all the way over here."

She blushed. She was only considering all the possibilities as to why he had asked her to stay.

She crawled in her tent and lay down. She was so awfully confused, she would hide in here until morning.

"Good night." She said, barely loud enough for Shikamaru to hear. Of course, the lights didn't turn off, and she didn't go to sleep. She lie there with her eyes open. She could hear him moving.

Go to sleep Temari, the faster you fall asleep, the quicker time will pass, and the quicker time passes, the soon you can get away from him. He's sending you mixed signals. Or he's a total freak. Go to sleep.

She told herself. She tried to close her eyes, but they were glued open.

"What are you doing?"

She hopped up and saw Shikamaru at the opening of the tent, grinning at her.

"N-nothing."

"I thought you said 'Good-night.' You're not going to sleep."

"I know," She said sitting up. "I don't think I can."

He nodded and crawled in and sat across from her. He smiled. "Do you know how else you can tell a lot from a person?"

Temari sat up. "How?" He smiled and sat cross legged, she did the same.

"By matching your hands to another person's."

He held up his hands so his palms were facing her, she drew her arms out and slowly matched the way his hands were, their palms pressed together as their fingers curled onto the back of the other's hand. She smiled, but there was a hot sensation that came from touching his hands. He smiled too and looked at how they were.

"You have very similar size hands to mine, small."

She giggled. "You're weird."

"Am I? You are. You're crazy."

She smiled, and realized that both of them were leaning forward. "Am I?"

Their lips were locked. Their hands came apart and wrapped themselves around each other's necks. Temari wasn't even thinking about her actions. She could only smile.

"I thought you were sick of me?" Shikamaru said, breaking away.

Temari smiled sheepishly. "Women get over those kinds of things easily." She smiled and lay down on her side. She looked like a child.

Shikamaru lay down on the other side of the tent from her and stared into her eyes. Why does she have to be so FINE?! His mind screamed.

She closed her eyes and fell asleep. Shikamaru watched her for a while before falling asleep himself.

What could have lead me to fall in love with this guy? Temari asked herself. Who knows?
