Shikamaru was walking home from the hokages tower, excited. Shikadai was at Inojins so he and Temari got the whole place to themselves. He went inside and noticed she was nowhere to be found. He then saw the bathroom door shut. He was surprised when he heard Temari crying, followed by coughing sounds. Concerned, he went in. He held Temari's hair back for her so she wouldn't get any throw up on it. Once she fully emptied her stomach she thanked him and washed her mouth out. Shikamaru frowned.
"Are you okay?"
Temari nodded.
"Just a fever. I should be better in a day or two."
"You need rest."
Temari nodded.
Her face became red when Shikamaru picked her up and carried her to their room. He left and came back with a wet cloth. He put it on her forehead and started to walk towards the door, when she grabbed his wrist.
"Stay. "
Her voice was shaky and desperate. He nodded his head and sat down next to her. Temari looked in his eyes and smiled.
"I love you"
"I love you too"
She drifted off to sleep. He followed soon after
