BTW; Not much
Temari had tried her best to help Shikamaru cook but she was just no good at it. Fortunately Shikamaru was a very good cook. After they'd eaten they went to bed, wearing what they usually wear or didn't wear.
MEANWHILE
Kankuro and Matsuri tried to look for Naruto at Ichirakus but ended up on a street full of bars and sushi restaurants.
"What now Kankuro?"
"You were the one with a good sense of direction."
"Well it's clearly failed me. Think Naruto is anywhere here?"
"Probably not unless he likes bars and barbeque."
"Ya know I've never been to a bar."
"Is that so?"
"Mhm. I always figured I'd just go in one day."
"You can't just start drinking just like that. You don't even know if you can handle it. I mean that's what I did but you're clearly inferior to me in the ways of drink."
"I'm sure I can handle it."
"I'll take that bet."
"OK so let's look for Naruto in a few bars."
"Deal. If I down more than you I get control of the TV remote for our next three visits."
"Alright let's go."
Kankuro had put a lot at stake, agreeing to give up the TV remote for three visits, what if Matsuri was a good drinker. The two of them walked into the bar and sat down. Kankuro whispered over to Matsuri.
"We look old enough so laugh it off if they ask for ID or something."
"Wait why can Naruto and his friends come in here, they're younger than you?"
"They're from here, it's different, special treatment kind of thing."
"Alright, whatever."
Kankuro ordered Matsuri a drink.
"Alright, whoever can drink the most wins."
"Ready?...GO!"
They started putting drinks away. Matsuri was ahead by one when the bartender cut them off. They did their best to walk out of there with their dignity but as soon as they'd left they almost collapsed on the ground.
MEANWHILE
Naruto had just come home from walking around a little. Kankuro and Matsuri had turned the lights out so he assumed they'd gone to bed, it was pretty dark out. He went into his room and stripped to his boxers and climbed into bed next to Gaara. He didn't wake him though, not even when he kissed him on the cheek goodnight.
MEANWHILE
Kankuro and Matsuri were trying to make their way home but could barely walk let alone find their way back to the house. They were laughing uncontrollably and hanging off of one another. After about an hour of wandering around they found Naruto's place. Once they got there they tried to quiet down but started laughing even harder when they realized they had no key to get in.
"Kanku how are we gonna get in?"
"Uh...Psh I don't know."
"Figur it out."
Kankuro started turning the knob over and over again which made them both laugh. Matsuri clumsily pushed Kankuro to the side and started jiggling the knob herself. She kept at it while Kankuro remembered the spare key. He grabbed it from the top of the door frame, to reach it he had to press himself lightly against Matsuri's back. While he was reaching for the key Matsuri stopped jiggling the handle and turned around to face Kankuro. Once he'd gotten the key his and Matsuri's faces were inches away.
"...I...I gotta unlock the door."
"Mhm..."
"So..."
"So-"
Matsuri was cut off. Kankuro pressed her against the door with a kiss. She melted and Kankuro put his hands on her face.
MEANWHILE
Naruto heard someone at the front door. He knew better than to answer the door when the only people left outside were drunks. Even if someone did need to get in they knew where the key was. He rolled over so that he was spooning Gaara, he kissed his neck and fell back asleep.
MEANWHILE
Kankuro still hadn't broken the kiss and Matsuri was actually enjoying it, but she couldn't be sure if it was the alcohol or not. After almost a full minute Kankuro broke it and looked her in the eye. He didn't have his makeup on so Matsuri could really see his eyes even thought the only light was moonlight. She could even see that his cheeks had gone red as had hers. After a while of just looking at her he started talking.
"Sorry."
"No, I uh...why don't you unlock the door."
"Mhm."
Matsuri moved out of the way and Kankuro unlocked the door. She could tell he was sobering up as was she. They walked in and fumbled around a little, being drunk and trying to walk in the dark is no the easiest task. They did eventually make it to their room. It probably would've been awkward if they weren't so tired. Matsuri and Kankuro didn't bother with pajamas. They got into their bed and they ended facing eachother with a very small space between them.
"Kankuro."
"Yeah?"
"Did you just kiss me again?"
"...Yeah, I'm sorry."
"It's OK, I did kind of like it. Plus that first one was way back in grade school."
Kankuro chuckled and put his hand on her face and Matsuri put her hand on top of his.
"Matsuri?"
"Mhm?"
"...Do you still love Gaara?"
"...No."
"...Do you love me again?"
"...I don't know. Do you love me again?"
"I never stopped."
Because they were so close together Kankuro was able to kiss one more time before he rolled on his side with his back to Matsuri. Matsuri started thinking and laid on her back as she fell asleep.
