A/N: I want to thank all my reviewers. I try to reply to reviews and stuff, but just know that I appreciate all of you.
Temari threw open the door, and the familiar stench of cigarette smoke greeted her.
"You idiot!" she exclaimed. "You know how much I hate this disgusting smell!"
"I didn't think…" Shikamaru began.
He put out his cigarette before continuing.
"I didn't think you were coming back," he finished quietly.
"You're even stupider than I thought," Temari snorted.
He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her in to force the ashy taste of his mouth into hers.
"I'm so sorry," Shikamaru whispered.
Her only reply was to kiss him feverishly. If she'd attempted to speak, she would've burst into tears.
