A/N: Happy New Year! (Again, thank you to Maerchen Freunde) Review! :)
"Temari never did tell me how you proposed," Gaara remarked casually.
"Well," Shikamaru cleared his throat. "She said yes."
"Really?" Gaara asked wryly. "I never would have guessed."
Kankuro walked in at that moment, smirking widely.
"You see, little brother," he began. "Our dear brother-in-law is embarrassed, it seems. Temari actually started screaming about how she had given him the best years of her life and how he couldn't even commit. So he popped the question."
Gaara looked over at Shikamaru, who had apparently found something interesting on his shoes, because he was staring at them intently.
The Kazekage sighed.
