Temari
He knocked at my door just as I was brushing my teeth before leaving to visit Kurenai and Asa. I went to the door to let him and came back to the bathroom, and to my surprise, Shikamaru followed me all the way, eyeing closely everything I do. I turned around after I finished and gave him a little smile.
- Hey. What's up?
Instead of an answer, he gently gripped my arm and pulled me closer. I came willingly, keeping my gaze on his eyes. Yesterday he didn't do anything else besides a small hug before I left after his delicious dinner, and I was longing for some physical intimacy.
- I found out it's hard to go a day without kissing you. – He stared right into my eyes and his lips were curved with a little curious smile.
Soon those lips were on mine and within the first second, I felt the passion light up inside me. Our hands twisted around our bodies and we pulled each other closer, bathing in the sweet sensation. My hands clutched, grabbing his clothes and his fingers were pressing skin on my back. One of his hands descended lower, towards my behind, and he pushed my pelvis against his, somehow this movement developed a steady rhythm, synchronizing with our kisses. I threw my arms around his neck while his hands wandered under my loose sweater and were travelling up towards my breasts. Putting all my effort into it, I managed to back off, as I knew this might go forever if neither one stops. Shikamaru looked disappointed, but I felt the same. However, we had to go.
The afternoon was lovely. It wasn't raining for a change – it was an often phenomena for the last few days. However, it was quite cold, but the four of us went for a walk and I left Shikamaru and Kurenai chatting, while I taught Asa some basic techniques and showed her what she could do with her fan. Shikamaru was right, she loved the present and was euphoric about it. She even asked her mom if she could wear it all the time, like I do. Considering the differences in our sizes, her new fan was quite proportional to her. She asked me to show what I can do with mine. Doing my best to concentrate and trying to minimize the damage, I let out a whirl with my fan, breaking one old tree with a crash. Asa was absolutely amazed and kept chatting how she is going to train every day so she could become a ninja like me. I wanted to hug her and smooch her like a puppy, and my cheeks were hurting from smiling all the time.
Shikamaru was talking with Kurenai a bit further away from the two of us, so I couldn't hear what are they speaking, but the look Kurenai had told me she knows something about us. About us… I already started calling us "us". I wondered how should I describe our situation. Was this a beginning of a romantic relationship? Or was it just a development of something called friends with benefits? Or maybe just sparkles of passion without the promising future, as we were both so different? I guess the only thing I could do to find out was wait. Maybe the upcoming mission will clear something out, as he seems so eager to go there with me. Not that I didn't want to go, I'd just had preferred a trip without having to do any missions. On the other hand, this might be a good occasion to tease him if I was about to act a promiscuous lady with those guys from the Sound and to see how would he react if I was in trouble or something… The mission actually might be interesting. And the fact that it can be quite dangerous made my blood boil with excitement, as the extreme-loving part of me woke up and decided she is eager to get into an adventure.
