•Rejuvenate•*

"SHIKA. I'M LEAVING!"

Temari had just arrived from Suna the night before and now it was the crack of dawn, and she was already going somewhere. This was not part of Shikamaru's plan, seeing that he has the day off. And her yelling, fully dressed, was not how he imagined his day starting.

"Tem" He groggily dragged out the end of her name, while simultaneously walking to her, barely able to stand up from his tiredness. "Where are you going?"

"You don't remember?" She looked up at him, feeling displeased with the way he was acting.

"We were occupied doing other things. It was hard for me to concentrate"

"I told you after we finished" She slapped his arm, making and sting and he began to hold it in pain.

"So where are you going"

"To an onsen"

"An onsen! What for?"

"To rejuvenate after a three day trip and a night of vigorous activity"

"But-"

"But I'm going, I'll see you later" She was about to leave out the door, when he grabbed her waist and made her face him.

"Please don't go. At least not today, you just got here and I would like it if I could spend time with my girlfriend. My tub is huge, just stay here and take a long bath. I'll run down to the store and buy everything to turn my bathroom into your personal onsen."

She loved this part of Shikamaru, where his true crybaby would come out. Of course he would say the perfect thing to get her to change he mind. Sometimes he made it hard to say no.

"I won't go. But hurry to the store and maybe I'll let you rejuvenate with me"

He was quick to leave the house and quick to return. He never thought about rejuvenation, but if it meant alone time with Temari, he was definitely up for it.
