Chocolate Chip Pancakes, Part 2.

TemariXShikamaru

Yo. Sorry this took so long to update. Many reviewers commented on the word choice in the summary. Yes, I am aware of what a threesome is, I just couldn't think of the word I wanted to use. Sometimes my brain stops working. :p. it has been fixed, ok?

This chapter takes place a few weeks after part 1.

Shikamaru was tired. He hadn't been getting much sleep since Temari moved in. he had only himself to blame though; lately he had become the one who started 'it'.

Shika had found that he enjoyed sex very much, especially since he discovered that if he put a little effort into it, it became very enjoyable.

Temari, for one, was extremely pleased, and he found that he liked seeing her on her back, moaning his name. but their relationship wasn't just about sex; he loved being around her, even if she was troublesome. Now that he was with Temari, he finally understood the advice his father had given him years ago…

Shikamaru yawned again, hoping that he wouldn't fall asleep in his bowl of frosted flakes. He rubbed his eyes and glanced at the clock. It was barely 7, but he had a mission in an hour.

He was just putting his empty bowl in the sink when Temari came in, stretching and yawning. She was wearing silky red pajamas and her hair was down, hanging down to the middle of her back.

"Good morning" Shikamaru said, smiling. He loved the sight of her first thing in the morning. "You're usually up hours before me."

Temari smiled back at him, brushing strands of wavy blonde hair away from her face.

"You wore me out last night." She replied, sliding her arms around his neck and pressing her mouth on his for a good morning kiss. After a moment she started to pull back, but he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer.

"Mmm…Shikamaru…" she murmured against his lips.

He pulled back, still smiling, and, without a word, strode off to the bathroom for a shower.

Grinning evilly, Temari followed him.

When she opened the bathroom door, his shirt was already off, revealing his muscular chest, arms, and abs.

"T-Temari! What…" he began, but shut up as she started taking off her pajama top.

"Oh."

a few hours later

"But seriously, I think she's the one!" Shikamaru concluded, putting his arms behind his head.

"That's great, I'm really happy for you." Chouji replied through a mouthful of chips.

The two friends were sitting outside under a shady tree, enjoying the warm afternoon after completing their mission.

"So what about you and Ino?" Shika asked, changing the subject.

"What about me and Ino? I took her to dinner, we kissed, and she said she really liked me. Nothing happened." Chouji replied, trying to sound cool (and failing miserably).

"Sounds like something to me. Are you gonna take her out again?"

"I guess."

"When?"

Chouji squirmed uncomfortably (no, not literally. Am I not allowed to use metaphors?!).

"Tonight" he finally admitted.

"Ha! I knew it; you've had a crush on her since we got put on the same team eight years ago."

"So? And that's beside the point. Are you really considering proposing?"

"That's what I said, isn't it?"

Note-I have no idea if this is what guys actually talk about. They sound kinda like girls to me…

"Gosh Shikamaru. I guess I never thought you'd actually get married." Chouji said absentmindedly.

"And why is that?" the last shinobi questioned.

"Uh, no reason." Chouji responded innocently. "But isn't she a little bossy for you?"

"She can be extremely troublesome."

"And isn't her family a bit…strange?"

"Her brothers do freak me out a little."

"Then why her?"

Shika shrugged. "I love her."

(giggles I guess that's as fluffy as Shika-kun gets.)

Shikamaru was silently questioning his own sanity. Sure, he was more motivated then he had been in his whole life, but that could be because he was completely insane, driven crazy from lack of sleep. But it was too late to turn back now. He fiddled with the small, black, velvet box that had been sitting in his pocket for the past two days.

"Shikamaru?"

He spun around, startled by his girlfriend.

"Oh, Temari…" he began to speak, but his words were forgotten when he saw what she was wearing.

Although it was just a simple black dress, it seemed to work magic on her already gorgeous body.

The neckline was low, the sleeves practically non-existent, and the hem ended far above her knees. The black cloth hugged her curves in all the right places, making Shikamaru eyes widen.

"Shika-kun? Are you alright? You seem a bit…distracted lately." Temari stated, walking up to him and taking his hands. Shikamaru gulped.

"I'm fine. Temari, you look…amazing. Wow."

She smiled, reassured. "You look pretty good yourself. I can't believe you got us reservations at insert cheesy-sounding restaurant name here. It's supposed to be amazing!"

She kept holding his hand as they began the moonlit stroll to the restaurant.

Don't worry Temari. I guarantee this night will be one to remember.

The next chapter will be out sometime this week, I swear. My school got out for Christmas break already, so I have lots of free time. 

Merry Christmas everybody!
