Tired
"Shikamaru! Temari arrived two days ago!" Choji shouts and raises his hand not holding the bag of chips to wave at his friend upon noticing his approach towards the huge Konoha gate.
"Tch" Shikamaru doesn't hurry.
When Shikamaru is alongside Choji and by mutual understanding they both start to walk towards the Hokage tower, he announces "Tell Temari, I'll see her later"
Choji nods "How's the mission?"
Shikamaru just shrugs.

Much much later
"Ass! Wake up!" Temari shakes the shinobi who is lying facedown, sleeping on his soft bed.
No movement.
Standing on the bed, Temari raises her foot in preparation of kicking Shikamaru's side.
But before the foot could make contact, Temari brings it down and squats beside Shikamaru's turned head "Ass! I understand! You've been to numerous missions in just a short span of days"
Still no response, just a slight snoring coming from the other occupant of the room.
"If you kill yourself in exhaustion, don't blame me!" Temari glares at her fiancée.
She doesn't really expect Shikamaru to wake up with just her shouting, not when he's that tired.
But after a while of watching her fiancée's gaping mouth, Temari suddenly laughs softly to herself "Kankuro's just kidding about that bride price"
