"I can stop anytime I want to." My intention was never to purposely write a fluffy story because neither Shikamaru nor Temari appear to be purposely fluffy people.

Popular or not, it's all mine. I don't own Naruto.

This is a ShikaTema fic, following their volatile on/off relationship, which also includes encounters with other characters in later chapters. Some fluff, mostly smut. Alternating POV.

But what happens when a new threat arises? Not only are the Sand Siblings in trouble, but it's also jeopardizing their connections with the Village Hidden in the Leaves. (First timer at Fanfic!)

You want to know something I hate? Falling in love with someone who will take forever to take notice you. It started after the Chunnin Exams. When I bumped into someone and lost balance. I would of fell but the person who bumped into me, grabbed on to my wrist and pulled me back up. Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Naruto
