God damn it. Was what Shikamaru thought when he woke up to a banging on his door. It was almost three in the morning. He was going to be pissed if he had to go into work. He hadn't had a day off in months.

Reaching the door, Shikamaru regretted it immediately. Standing there was a very annoyed Ino and a very, very drunk Temari. Fuckin great. "I'm sorry," Ino started. "I'm no quite sure what happened, something about a drinking contest at a bar... Kiba brought her to my house. I tried keeping her there but she wouldn't stay. She kept saying she needed to see you... so here we are." She gave a fake, painful smile.

Temari practically threw herself at Shikamaru. "I'm so glad you aren't wearing a shirt!" She laughed at herself. Ino quickly ran off into the direction of her house. Some best friend she is... "I miss you, ya know that? I bet you miss me!"

He sighed. It was going to be long night. Shikamaru lead the sand kunoichi inside and then shut the door. "Gotta pee!" She then stood herself up as best as she could, losing her shoes in the process. He went into the kitchen to get some water for her.

When Shikamaru made it to the bathroom, the door was open and it was empty. "Temari?" He then walked towards his bedroom. She was already out of her dress and in one of his shirts. Sitting on the edge of his bed, she was trying to take her hair down. He noticed her struggle, so helped her out. Temari then grabbed his hand with hers.

"Shikamaru," She moved his hand down to her lap and stared at it. "Did you ever love me?" He was shocked at first, not expecting a question like that from a drunk Temari.

"Of course, I wouldn't have pretended," He gave her a small smile, hoping it would make her feel better. He could tell she was feeling emotional, whether it be from being around him or the alcohol, he wasn't sure.

She slowly looked up at him. "Do you still?" He took a deep breath and looked towards the floor. Of course he loved her. How could he not? She was perfect. His hesitation caused her to also look away. "I understand.."

"No, Temari, that's not it... The problem is that I do still love you. And I don't think I'll ever not love you. But, clearly things weren't working..." She pouted. He had thought she was sobering up until she pulled him down on top of her, on the bed. "What are you doing?!"

"I wanna cuddle..." He sighed and sat up.

"No, Temari, we aren't together anymore. Plus, you're drunk, you're going to be pissed in the morning of you wake up and realized we cuddled all night." She poured again.

"Am I not cute enough?" Now she was crossing her arms. He rolled his eyes.

"You're plenty cute. Too cute, actually. Now go to bed." She looked at him and smirked. Temari leaned forward and tried to kiss him, but he pulled away. "No kissing, goodnight." She rolled to face away from him and closed her eyes.

Shikamaru waited a moment, thinking she was asleep, he kissed her forehead. "Thought you said no kissing?" He smirked. Oh, now he's missed Temari.
