Everybody

"TEMARIIIIIIIII! YOU MADE IT!"

Ino excitedly hugged her friend before ushering her into the sitting room where the rest of the guests were seated.

"Hello!" Temari greeted waving awkwardly as she stepped inside. She handed Ino a bottle of Sunan Sake which she'd brought with her.

"Naruto," she said, walking up to the blond who had his arm wrapped around Hinata. "This is from Gaara."

She gave him a small parcel which he unwrapped excitedly.

He laughed when he saw the small key ring which read "#2 Kage".

"Thanks, Temari." He chuckled. "I have something for him too, could you bring it back for me?"

"Sure thing,"

After a few more people arrived, the group settled into a comfortable atmosphere. Ino was excitedly talking to Sakura and Sasuke about her new kitchen surfaces which Sai had remodeled during one of her spa trips. Sai nodded calmly along with his arm draped over her shoulder.

Temari and Tenten were talking about a new brand of kunai which claimed to be lighter, stronger and faster than any other while Chōji and Karui were speaking in hushed tones to Shikamaru.

Lee had let Ino know in advance that he would be late to the party as he and Kiba were training Akamaru some new trick to show Shino when he came back from his trip to the Grass Country.

"Lets play a game!" Ino suggested, making Shikamaru groan.

She glared at him and stood up to get shot glasses. "I'll take that as a'Yes'!"

Once the coffee table was filled with various different drinks, the group sat cross-legged around it.

"So, what are we playing?"

"Spin the bottle?" Someone suggested.

"Nah, too boring."

"Truth or dare?"

"Would you rather?"

"Who's more likely?"

"Never have I ever?"

"Two truths one lie?"

After twenty seconds of bickering, they settled on never have I ever.

"Okay, here are the rules." Ino said, standing and looking at everyone in turn.

"We go around to each person and they must say one thing that they've never done. If you have done that thing, take a shot."

Mumbles of agreement went around the table.

"Here's the catch." She continued, holding up her hand for silence. "At each round, the person who's go it is chooses one person to... Explain themselves. Got it? No lying!"

She sat back down and leaned into Sai.

"I'll go first. Never have I ever... Tried whiskey."

Everyone took a shot except for Sakura and Sai.

"Karui. Explain yourself."

Karui shrugged. "Samui guilt tripped me into trying the old-man drink. It was actually pretty nice."

Sai smiled. "Never have I ever made a snowman."

Temari was the only one who didn't take a shot and Sakura was asked by Sai to talk about her snowman.

"U-um," Hinata stammered when it was her turn. "N-never have I ever... Kissed a girl."

Naruto, Sasuke, Temari, Sai, Shikamaru and Chōji all took a shot.

"Temari. Explain yourself."

Temari smirked, why were people only interested when girls kissed other girls.

"My first crush was this really cute girl in Suna. She kissed me one day when I was around sixteen." She smiled sadly. "I think she died on a mission only a few months later."

There was a brief silence until Naruto took over. "This is boring-lets make it a little more interesting."

He shifted slightly and began talking.

"Never have I ever had a crush on one of my teachers."

Temari and Sakura both took a shot.

"S-Sakura?!"

"It was a two day thing... I thought he was cool..."

"Never have I ever...had a one night stand." Chōji said.

Temari and Shikamaru awkwardly took a shot whilst avoiding eye contact. Ino, Tenten and Sasuke also drank.

"...Shikamaru explain yourself."

Shikamaru gave Chōji a betrayed look.

"Er. I hooked up with someone and she was gone the next morning."

"We need more detail." Tenten whined.

"No. We don't." Temari interjected.

People started talking all at once.

"Okay, okay." Shikamaru sighed. "I brought this girl home. We were both drunk, it meant nothing. I didn't care when she'd left the next day."

Temari arched her eyebrow but said nothing.

It was Tenten's turn next, and she'd been carefully been looking between the two of them during much of the game.

"Never have I ever... Hooked up with someone who is in this room."

Everyone took a shot.

"Temari. She said with a sly smile. "Explain yourself."

"I've already explained myself before."

"So what? Explain yourself."

"I, er." She rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly and cleared her throat before giving Shikamaru an apologetic look. "I hooked up with Shikamaru the last time before going back to Suna."

Ino squealed. "I KNEW IT!"

Money was exchanged between people and Ino wouldn't stop squealing.

"Oi. We aren't together," Temari snapped. "It was a one time thing."

Silence filled the air.

"Wait, you were the one night stand?" Naruto asked, finally putting two and two together.

Temari rolled her eyes. "No shit."

Ino frowned. "But... Why did you not like...?" She made a wide gesture with her arms. "Hit it off?"

"Well," Temari explained, leaning back as she cast the dark haired boy a sidelong glance. "I was in a rush to get home the next day and I was hoping to talk about it this time around, but as it turns out: ' it meant nothing '."

She stood and left them to find the bathroom, realising that she felt a lot angrier than she had in a while.

Meanwhile in the sitting room, Shikamaru was being stared at by everyone.

"Shika, you should definitely go talk to her."

"I probably shouldn't..."

Sakura scoffed. "Never have I ever upset the person I love. If I could avoid it."

Shikamaru downed a shot alone and stood from the table, slamming the glass down before following the direction that Temari had taken.

He found her lying in the guest bedroom and staring at the ceiling.

"Um. Hey." He called as he half-heartedly rapped his knuckles against the wooden door.

"Hey." She called back.

He sat at the foot of the bed and looked at her.

"I didn't want things to be awkward." He said.

"I know."

"Truth be told, I felt like shit when you weren't there the next day. I thought I'd done something wrong." He mumbled, resisting the urge to run his fingers through her hair. "I thought that was why you left."

"No. Gaara needed me back. That was it." She was seated now and finally meeting his gaze.

"It didn't mean nothing. Not to me anyway."

"Me neither."

She looked at him for a moment before standing up to shut the door.

"Are we going to talk about this?" She asked as she made her way back to the bed.

"Do we need to?"

"Well how else are we going to sort this out?"

He smirked at her and moved his arm to the curve of her waist before gently pulling her onto his lap.

"I can think of plenty of other ways."

"Shikamaru. They're going to-"

"They already know."

She rolled her eyes and dropped her head to the crook of his neck. "This is fucking troublesome." She grumbled.

He laughed out loud and lay down on the bed, pulling her down with him so that she was lying on his chest.

"I fail to see how that's an issue."

She smirked and propped her chin up to study his face. "Never thought I'd hear those words from you."

He cocked his head to the side and smiled. "There's a first time for everything."

She sighed and got off him.

"We'll talk about it later, okay?" She asked as she opened the door. "I'm going back down, I don't want everyone to start thinking...things."

A/N: This ended up being a lot longer than intended, but I haven't got the time to change it, so meh.

Please let me know what y'all think!

Also, it's new years eve, so if I die or whatever during the course of the night, I hope you all have a wonderfully happy and healthy new year. Don't drink too much and stay in school kids. Or something, idk.

Please follow/fave/review etc etc.
