Shikamaru

I followed her up the stairs into Tsunade's office. Temari's hips and behind was beautifully swinging with each step and I didn't even bother to pretend I'm not watching. However she didn't notice. Or pretended she didn't. I also loved this new short uniform dress. The sides of it were slit and I could see way up her leg. I closed my eyes for a second and imagined myself putting my hand up that leg between that slit. I shook my head, trying to make the picture disappear. Damn, I need to control myself.

Temari knocked at Hokage's door and entered. Tsunade seemed surprised to see her so early and even more surprised – to see me so early. Her eyebrow slowly rose.

After those two had a little chat about Academy and Temari's plans, Tsunade asked us:

- How's the accommodation problem going?

- We're working on it. – I answered before Temari decided to say something about that.

I wanted for her to live with me, and I wasn't sure why. I missed her as a friend and she's fun to be with but I felt this attraction has something to do with it as well.

Afterwards we went for a little walk, chatting carelessly or mocking each other about things. I told her about changes in Konoha while we were drinking tea at the local sweet shop. She bought one candy of every type and hit me whenever I tried to steal some. She laughed a lot and made me smile much more than I was used to. Choji came in and I waved at him.

- Hey Temari, how have you been? We haven't seen you here for a very long time! – Choji was happy to see her too.

- I guess I can't complain, everything's been going really well, and how about you?

I was glad they liked each other. It's nice when you get approval about your friends from your other friends. I left them chatting while I went to the bathroom.

After that we did go to check some hotels. The prices were three times higher than they used to be before The War broke. Temari raised her eyebrows and asked:

- Are they crazy? Who would pay that for a night?

- You'd be surprised. Konoha is becoming a pretty attractive object and multiple hot water springs establishments help a lot. – I explained.

- Oooh you have hot baths, right? I know what I'll be doing on my free days! – She looked so cheerful, it made me smile.

After we got back to my flat she went to a shower while I was lying in a sofa with a book on rare herbs. After a while, I heard the door unlock and I turned my head almost instinctively, to see the prettiest sight I've seen in my flat. She emerged from the bathroom with just a towel around her, bare foot, cleft between her breasts, covered in small droplets from her wet hair. I opened my mouth but no word came out so I just laid there looking like an idiot, and when she noticed me she just raised an eyebrow:

- Wanna take a picture? – She sneered.

I felt embarrassed and turned my head away before she could see my face flushing. I sighed, unable to understand my lack of control.
