"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. It's more about depicting the type of relationship I could see them having and all the things that come with it. Watch them grapple with reality and either sink or swim. Popular or not, it's all mine. I don't own Naruto.
