The next day Temari had been waiting for a sign from Shikamaru, whether it was a phone call or a knock at the door. But none of that happened, so she thought he had been avoiding her because the date didn't go well for him. 'That asshole, takes me out on a date but doesn't even call me the next day' She was angry so she decided to take a walk around Konoha.

Shikamaru enjoyed his time last night and was still dreaming about it until the Hokage called him in. 'This is such a drag'. When he arrived, the rest of the Konoha 11 was there except Naruto and Hinata. Kakashi had discussed the fact that only the people who brought the best gift could attend the wedding.

Shikamaru was still in a daze from the date until he heard that. 'Shit, another thing on my plate' He sighed and walked out.

Everyone went there separate ways, Shikamaru went home to play shogi to get his mind off of the present he would have to buy and after 5 rounds he decided to call Temari to see how her day was going. Her phone went straight to voicemail. 'Maybe The kiss drove her away'. He walked outside, and decided to look for Choji. He knew the first place to look was Yakiniku Q, and there Choji was, Walking toward it and spotting Shikamaru.

"Hey Shikamaru, It's nice seeing you here. Now we could split the bill" They chuckled and entered the restaurant together

It was nice getting to hang out with his best friend. Lately it had been hard to just relax, but he took this opportunity to do so. He noticed how they had grown, both mentally and physically. Choji now had a beard and he wondered if he should grow a goatee. 'It'll me look older and more like my old man'

They ate and talked like old times. He asked Choji about the gift, only to find out that he had picked out a fancy restaurant with an already paid meal. Shikamaru was shocked that his best friend actually picked out a great gift and worried that he would be the only person that didn't have anything.

They continued their conversation which led to Shikamaru thinking that a honeymoon would be the perfect gift. His only problem was he needed a girls perspective. He would ask Temari, but he believes that things are awkward between them.

He told Choji his dilemma as they were walking out.

"Why don't you ask her" before Shikamaru could turn around to see who he was talking about, Choji had already called her name.

"Hey Temari, Shikamaru needs your help with picking a honeymoon. Well I have to go see you guys later"

Choji walked off leaving two people with red cheeks. 'A honeymoon maybe that's why he hasn't spoken to me all day. But I don't think I'm ready. I don't know the first thing about sex' She contemplated if she was going to go. She really liked Shikamaru, but on the other hand she thought they were moving too fast.

"Temari, you don't have to come" He shyly said moving away from her quickly, before she grabbed his sleeve.

"I'll go"

"Umm, Let's get going then"

One the way to the inns, Temari tried to break the tension. "Let's play some games crybaby" She pointed to a booth up ahead. He paid for both of them to throw kunai at a target but soon found out is was rigged when he hit a bullseye and the kunai bounced off. She laughed a cute chuckled which made him blush.

They made their way to the inns, he had won her a couple of prizes. Her favorite which was a small stuffed deer reminded her so much of him, and she held it ever since he won it.

They finally made it to the inn. She began to get nervous again. "I have to leave"

"But I need you"

"You need me"

"Yea, I can't go in the girls bath house. And I think you and Hinata might have similar taste. That's why I need your opinion."

She soon realized that it wasn't for them, but a gift for Naruto's wedding. 'I can't believe that idiot would leave out the piece of imformation'

Shikamaru could see anger rising on her face. "Tem, what's wrong" Before he had any time to react, he saw Temari reaching for her Tessen and a huge gust of wind charging towards him.

'She is so troublesome, now I got to figure out what I did wrong'

oooooooooo
