This is my Idea
Chapter 4: House Exchange
Hello, my little deers! Happy 4th day of @shikatemaweek ! Omg, we are like halfway through it. So sad! It’s been incredible Shikatema babies! Okie, here’s my next chapter. I had to get creative with this one but I think that the prompt came through. Please enjoy it!
Prompt: House Exchange
Ages:
Shika: 19
Temari: 21
Summary: A stay in Suna

“Temari?”
“I don’t want to talk Kankuro.” She replied back, turning away from the door.
“I know, just open up please.”
Annoyed, she stomped over to her door throwing it open.
“What?!” The person that greeted her on the other side wasn’t who she expected.
“Shikamaru?” She’s just been back from Konoha for about a month now and seeing him again brought a multitude of emotions forward.
“Hey, Temari.” She fell into his arms and the tears she’d been holding back came rushing like a flood. He carried her back into the room holding her tightly as her tears soaked his vest. His Princess had been through a lot he needed to be there for her.
He held her as she cried whispering words of comfort into her hair. In all the time that they’d spent together, he’d never seen her this torn apart.
When Temari woke up her room was now dark. She sat up feeling her head pound.
“Hey, drink this.” She looked up confused seeing Shikamaru handing her a cup of tea. She must have cried herself to sleep.
“Thank you.” He nodded settling down next to her and she wordlessly rested her head against his chest as his arm wrapped around her.
“What are you doing here?”
“Come on Tem. There’s no way that I was going to let you go through all of this alone. My parents will be here for the services. I just wanted to be here ahead of time.” She nodded mumbling a word of thanks into his chest.
The passing of the Kazekage had come to a shock. Once he heard the news all he wanted was to be by Temari’s side in Suna. Nothing else mattered. He left as soon as he could with little notice. His parents assured him that it would be okay to go and would follow after tying up some loose ends.
“I brought some things.” He shifted to place a bag on the bed.
“Our friends all sent something for you. There’s a bunch of things in there but I know that Chouji sent you a bag of his favorite chips and Ino sent a face mask that helps with puffiness. I don’t know what that means.”
She felt genuinely floored by their thoughtfulness and kindness. “Thank you, Shikamaru. This is really sweet.”
He nodded before taking her hands. “How are you doing?”
“It hurts. We weren’t the closest but he was still our father. I’m worried about my mom. Everything is going to change now. Gaara is going to become the Kazekage. Kankuro and I as his advisers. We have so much to take care of. I don’t know what we’re going to do-”
“Tem, calm down it’s okay. Focus on the present. The rest of it we’ll figure out. Your brothers will be okay, Suna will be okay and with time I think that you will be too.” She nodded settling back into his arms using his heartbeat to ground herself.
“You’ll be here right.” She didn’t know if she just meant now, tomorrow, or even far into the future but he just nodded.
“Always.”

“So we finally meet Shikamaru.”
Shikamaru straightened up surprised, coming face to face with Temari’s mother. “Queen Karura.” He bowed deeply.
“Please let’s not stand on formalities.”
He nodded still a bit nervous in her presence. “My condolences. Your husband was a strong leader and he helped usher in an era of peace that may not have been possible otherwise.”
“My family and I appreciate you and your family being here and your kind words. I’ve been wanting to meet you for a while now. Thank you for taking care of my daughter all these years and for being here for her now.” She offered her gratitude with a gentle smile.
“Please, no thanks is needed at all.”
“I know but still you have my appreciation. As her mother, it was difficult to have her away for all that time. When my husband mentioned that she was in your care it helped ease my worries. I always miss her when she is gone but she would return each year so happy with such wonderful memories and stories to share. She mentioned you more times than I can remember.”
“Probably complaining…” he replied without thinking. “My apologies!”
Karura just smiled at the flustered Shinobi. “A few complaints sure but usually she said your name with a kind of fondness I’d never seen before. You seem to have made an impression on my little girl.”
“Honestly, she’s done the same for me.” Karura nodded with a smile.
“Now that Garra will be installed as Kazekage Temari will probably need to remain in Suna throughout the year. I imagine that next Summer will be the last that she can return to Konoha and remain there for the season in her capacity as ambassador.” Her words felt like a shock to his system. He knew that eventually, their arrangement would come to an end. He didn’t think it would happen so soon.
A thoughtful look crossed the Queen’s face as she looked out towards the landscape in front of them. “My daughter is like the desert. She is untamable, harsh, and wild. But maybe you can also agree with me that she is also our sun, beaming, bright, beautiful and warm. She just requires some balance. Someone that can reflect the beauty and light within her.”
“What are you two talking about?” They both turned around seeing Temari regard them curiously.
“Nothing my darling I just felt that it was time for me to meet your dear friend. I must go greet more people. Once again, a pleasure to meet you Shikamaru.” The Queen turned to pull her daughter into a warm hug.
“I love you my little Sand Storm.” Temari blushed at the display of affection but returned the hug.
Temari walked over to where Shikamaru was leaning against the railing. “So that’s my mom.”
“She’s very nice.”
“I know, I’m lucky.”
A warm hand came to brush a stray hair from her eyes. “How are you doing?”
She took a deep breath before responding. “I’m okay. Overwhelmed and needed a break.” He nodded as they stood there together on the balcony.
“The stars seem brighter out here. It’s like you always told me.”
“Yes, cloud watching is great in Konoha but you can’t beat star gazing here in the desert.” She replied resting her head against his shoulder.
There were so many thoughts rattling through his head and things that he wanted to say. Instead, he was content to stand out there with his Princess under the moonlight gazing at the stars.

“Tem?” Shikamaru was surprised to see her standing at his door during the dead of night. He stepped aside so that she could come in.
“I just wanted to check on you. I brought you a fan too. I know that it gets really hot. It’s actually been hard to get used to it after spending all those Summers in Konoha.” She explained placing a small fan by his bedside. Surprising him she took a seat.
He knew that he’d probably get his head cut off if someone found her there, but if she needed his company right now then it was worth it.
There were a few times during her stays in Konoha where she would sleepover at the Nara compound. Nights similar to this. They’d play games, stargaze or just stay up late talking. She needed a distraction so he’d gladly be one.
They sat side by side leaning back against the headboard sharing a few snacks that Chouji sent with him. They delved into fond memories of shared Summers.
“I broke my arm.”
Temari just shook her head. “You wanted to know what it was like to fly.”
“You were supposed to catch me.”
“You were supposed to use your shadows to catch yourself.” She argued back remembering that day. They had a crazy idea one summer that she would create enough wind to levitate him giving him the feeling of flying. It was a great idea until it wasn’t. He’d thankfully just broken his arm after the fall but he still held it against her. She just chuckled before resting against him.
“We’ve been through a lot together.” Shikamaru agreed, the queen’s warning ringing in his head. He wasn’t quite ready for their adventures to end. He wanted many more shared memories.
“We helped each other grow.” He knew that he couldn’t have become half the man he was now without her presence in his life.
“Is it okay if I stay here? I’ll leave early. I just...I don’t want to be alone right now.” She requested her eyes hopeful.
“Of course Tem, whatever you need.”
They laid down and she cuddled into his chest his arms wrapping tightly around her. “Stay here, okay?” She requested her eyes beginning to flutter asleep.
He kissed her forehead pulling her even closer. “I’ll always be here.”
