And we're back to the "something popped into my head so I made it into a drabble" thing. It was actually raining on the day that I thought of this, but it took me about a week to decide which characters I wanted to use. Enjoy!
I do not own Naruto.
Tapestry
---Fourteen: Rain---
Temari laughs at her brothers whenever the three of them are in Konoha and it rains. Gaara and Kankuro have an almost cat-like aversion to the falling water, and their expressions upon seeing storm clouds amuse her. Everyone expects her to feel the way they do about it, but she doesn't. Temari loves the rain.
Most people, if it were dark and raining and they didn't have an umbrella, would take shelter in shops or restaurants until the rain ceased. Not Temari. She walked fearlessly out into the downpour, relishing the cool drops on her skin. To her, the concept of enough water to fall from the sky and drench everything was exhilarating. Being a ninja, the darkness, of course, did not deter her. She would reach her hotel and get some sleep, no matter the weather, and everyone else could go to hell, for all she cared. The rain made her happy.
After about ten minutes of walking in the rain, an umbrella was held over her head. She didn't really have to turn to see who it was. She already knew.
"You're going to make yourself sick if you keep doing this," Shikamaru told her.
She smirked, still not looking at him. "Wild nights are my glory."
Shikamaru smiled a little. "I don't doubt that."
"You should smile more often. Did you know that it takes less muscles to smile than it does to frown?"
"And if I don't do either?"
"You're such a lazy ass."
"You're still troublesome."
Yes, Temari loved the rain. Especially when Shikamaru dropped the umbrella and kissed her.

And that's that. Kudos and a drabble about the pairing of their choice to anyone who knows where Temari's first line comes from! Though I'm still taking requests, but I make you be more specific about those. Thanks for reading, and please review!
