A/N: Drabble dump on the way!
Playing Dirty (T)
"Mom, why do you always call dad a crybaby?"
A sputter was heard among the three seated at the dinner table. The sound of a fork being set down followed the noise from the older Nara,"Well, you see-"
"He asked me. I think it's better if I tell it anyways," Temari shot a playful smirk at the flustered man. Shikamaru recognized the malicious intent in that smirk and groaned, slouching back in his chair. His cheeks were slightly stained with crimson. Shikadai poked at the spinach that rested on his plate before setting his fork down and giving his mom his undivided attention,"It was way back when we were chunin. Uchiha-san had abandoned the village and went off to Orochimaru. Your father was called for a mission to recover him."
Shikamaru poked at his food, imitating his son's earlier actions. He had gone through the whole story in his head. Temari seemed extremely proactive in telling this story and he figured there was no way out of this. He sit back and let his wife take course.
He had drowned out her voice up until now. His genius mind helped him, once again, and he sprung into action. She was a quarter way through her tale when a sudden cough interrupted her. Temari' threw a glance at her husband, who's face adorned a mischievous smirk. His hand raised to shield his mouth from his son and he mouthed the following words. No sex for a week.
Temari hesitated and glared at him with slightly widened eyes. She never thought he would pull this card on her. Her mind paused for a quick second and wondered if the consequences were worth it. She decided it was not worth it and stubbornly gave up. But that didn't mean her husband would go unpunished for this cunning act.
"Mom, then what?" The sound of her son's voice snapped her from her trance and she returned to reality. Her eyes met Shikamaru's and she resigned.
"And then I called him a crybaby."
"But he didn't even cry."
"Yes. It's just a nickname. Now hurry and finish your food." She ended her sentence with a disgruntled sigh and glared at Shikamaru. He returned her look with a victorious grin and returned his attention to the dinner in front of him. Temari figured she'd have to wipe that stupid smile off his face soon. How dare he play dirty.
