Temari woke up a little later than she normally did. She felt more relaxed and noticed how spread out she was in the bed. She wondered if maybe she had kicked him off and he was just too lazy to get up. Temari sat up and stretched. While she got dressed she didn't see Shikamaru anywhere and there was a faint smell of bacon and hash browns in the air. Temari came into the kitchen and found Shikamaru carrying two plates of food.

"Oh, hey I was going to serve you food in bed."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I felt like putting a little effort into something." Shikamaru smiled and leaned forward.

"Nope, that's not good enough." Temari said, dodging his lips and moving behind him.

"Alright, so you wanna go to the training field later?"

"You are really going to do this?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Shikamaru smiled, setting the food on the table

Shikamaru actually ended up getting a few hits on Temari. By the time they were done both Shikamaru and Temari were panting. They sat down on the ground to drink and wipe the seat of their faces with wet towels.

"So, how'd I do?" Shikamaru laughed. "Not bad."

"I guess you did good for a lazy-ass. I just don't understand why you think it's pointless."

"I didn't have anything to gain from it before."

"Who said you're getting anything from it."

"I will."

Temari was resting on the couch, almost asleep, when Shikamaru walked in and sat down in the chair. He looked over at her and couldn't help thinking she was pretty like this. He saw her shivering and leaned over to grab and blanket, then back over to lay it on her. She pulled the blanket up more and her eyes showed thanks when she looked at him.

"Do you want any dinner?"

"Nah, I'm too tired to eat."

"Alright, I'll carry you to bed." Shikamaru stood up.

"So, you get the chance to feel me up, perv? I don't think so." Temari said getting up.

"You know I'm not actually as uncontrollable and horny as you think. Sorry I wanted to kiss you."

"Well, no one said I ever wanted to kiss you."

"I thought you kissing me was a sign."

"Okay, maybe I do like to kiss you, but that doesn't mean I need you."

"I know."

"I'm a strong and independent woman."

"I know."

"I don't need a man in my life!"

"I know."

"Especially- Wait, what?"

"I know you don't need me or anyone." Temari stared in shock at him, but nodded. "But I also know you don't want to be alone."

"I have been for my whole life."

"Isn't it getting boring?"

"You don't know anything."

"Come on Temari!"

"Don't you yell at me!" Temari said and stomped into their room, slamming the door.

Shikamaru rolled his eyes and sat down on the couch. He heard her stomp around and throw a few things, but then it went quiet. He took that as a good sign and started to go to the bed room. He opened the door wide and heard a scream. Shikamaru looked up to see what the big deal was and saw how big it was. Big, round, and creamy white.

Shikamaru slammed the door shut and mentally beat himself up. If things were bad enough they were now. He hit the back of his head against the door in anger and groaned at himself. He screamed out and fell down when the door opened behind him. When he opened his eyes he saw Temari glaring down at him.

"I didn't mean to walk in on you I swear!" Shikamaru rolled over and got on his hands and knees.

"I believe you." Temari looked away and blushed.

"You do?"

"I'm not in the mood to fight, it takes too much energy."

"I thought I was the lazy-ass?" Shikamaru joked and made Temari chuckle.

"Yeah well, I'm aloud to be lazy once. Come on to bed." Temari waved him in and snuggled into bed herself.

Shikamaru took his shirt off and slipped out of his pants before going in with her. Temari rolled over and looked at him. Shikamaru raised an eyebrow.

"You didn't see much did you?"

"Um, no not really."

"Good." Temari nodded.

"Did you want me to?"

Temari punched Shikamaru's shoulder while frowning, but grinning.
