Temari had just woken up, and was now mentally planning a day of activities for the two of them. The most important was shopping for food because they hadn't had the chance to go to the market and now she was waiting for her boyfriend to wake up. She was staring at him peacefully sleep but was now getting impatient.

"Shikamaru wake up!"

"You finally said something after staring at me for 15 minuets"

"If you were up, why didn't you say anything"

"Because you were going to make me get up"

"You can't sit here and be lazy all day"

"Why not"

"Because I said so"

"I guess I don't have a choice"

"You already know the answer to that, now get dressed so we can go to the market. There's nothing to eat in this house"

Shikamaru did as she said, and in less than an hour they were in the streets of Suna heading to Temari's favorite fruit stand. When they arrived, Shikamaru knew what some things were and others he had no clue. Every time he came to Suna for meetings, the meals were already cooked and they were usually dishes found in Konoha.

"Why are you looking at the fruit like that"

"Like what"

"Like they did something to you"

"I just never seen a huge variety of cactus fruit"

"Well let's get some, they actually taste better than the stuff you get in Konoha"

"Are they sweet"

"Yea they are, and I know that you think sweet things are a drag, but trust me they are good"

Shikamaru always trusted her, so he didn't ask her anymore questions except for why the two of them she picked looked different from each other.

"Well one is cholla and the other one is prickly pear"

"That name suits you"

"What's that suppose to mean"

"Before you wore the two ponytails, you had the four spiky ones, they were prickly like this cactus"

He chuckled as she looked at him in the eyes sternly, with a frown than instantly began chuckling, taking part in his dumb joke.

"I question why I love you"

"It's obviously because of my outstanding humor and funny jokes"

"More like dumb and annoying"

"It got you to laugh, which you have been doing more of lately"

"Maybe it's got something to do with a certain pineapple"

"Haha, very funny" He said trying to hold back a huge smile.

"You think I'm talking about you"

"I know you're talking about me"

"Somebody's conceited"

"Somebody can't keep me off their mind"

"Don't flatter yourself lazyass, now quit daydreaming about me so we can get the rest of the groceries"

They continued shopping for groceries and he noticed that she was only putting his favorite things in the basket so he began sliding hers in. He had to do it in secret because he was already banned from choosing groceries due to the fact he continued to put random food in the cart after she asked for his help.

"Sense you are acting like an ass, don't put anything else in the basket"

"What about if I really want something"

"Tough luck"

When the finished shopping and was at the checkout counter, Temari began to pull out her money but was shocked to see Shikamaru holding a receipt. He knew that Temari would throw a fit because he paid for the groceries, but tried to make it up to her when he was acting like a dick. He took the bags and wouldn't allow her to hold any which ticked her off even more.

"In the market you were just acting like a lazy dick but now you want to be all helpful"

"I'm being helpful because I was acting like a lazy dick"

"It doesn't work like that"

"I know and Next time we go shopping I will do all the work"

"You call picking out food work"

"It's not exactly relaxing"

Temari couldn't help but laugh, she couldn't believe that after all these years, every little thing was still a huge task to him even though he was second in command in Konoha.

"What's so funny"

"You are"

"And you're still troublesome"

Temari chose to ignore his last comment and dragged him by the wrist so they could hurry home in order to make the best time for the day she had planned for them. But on the way home she felt speckles on her face. To Shikamaru it was the regular sand that would often get everywhere no matter how hard he tried to avoid it, But to a Sand Shinobi this type of sand meant that bad sand storm was coming and she instantly knew that it was going to last a long time.

"Come on Shika, we have to hurry"

Shikamaru seen everyone packing up their stands and leaving even though it was only 8 in the morning.

"Why is everyone packing up?"

"Because a sand storm is coming"

"How can you tell"

"Because all sand shinobi are taught to distinguish the sand"

"What about the civilians"

"Some can tell but for those who are still unaware a siren is eventually going to go off"

As they were talking Shikamaru could hear frustration in her voice and by the way she was walking now was pretty much her stomping. He wondered what had her in this mood because a few minutes ago she was just laughing. He couldn't figure out women for the life of him, but he thought about all the possibilities and rendered it down to being upset about the huge day she had planned.

They made it to the front of the apartment before he handed Temari the bags and ran out before she could ask why he was going back out.

oooooooooo
