MY MASTERLIST

“Ino, are you implying that I love that lazy bastard?!” Temari scowled like the suggestion Ino Yamanaka presented was outrageous. Visiting Yamanaka Flower Shop seemed now like a stupid idea for her. 

“Calm down, Temari. Being in love with Shikamaru wouldn’t be that terrible as you think it would be. He’s a good catch if I say so myself!” Ino rolled her blue eyes. Temari didn’t understand why her friend hung up on the idea of pairing her together with Shikamaru. Temari hated his guts from the moment he refused to have a card rematch with her.

“Did you hit your pretty head?  I hate cowards and Shikamaru is a one. On top of that, he’s lazy, unmotivated bastard refusing to have a card match with me!” Her frustrations were probably amusing for Ino that was known as the queen of gossips in Konoha. However, there exists a possibility she won’t hear any rumours if the subject involved Shikamaru. He was Ino close friend, after all.

“Yeah, yeah, Shikamaru is a coward. A coward that escaped alive from your deadly card matches and survived a blind date that I set up for you two, Tem. I admit he’s a quite awkward person when he deals with romantic stuff, but he’s a good guy.” Ino defended Shikamaru in the middle of arranging flowers inside the old looking vase.

“You’re just defending his laziness since you’re his friend, Ino! If he’s such a good guy, why don’t you hook up with him yourself? Temari proposed, while Ino just laughed like she heard the best joke in her life.

“I tried to hook up with him in the past, to be honest. Our first date was terrible because it felt like I was dating my older brother. It’s like you would be dating Gaara or Kankuro, Tem.” Temari hands started to shake at the thought of dating Gaara or Kankuro. Both of them were immature brats. As their older sister, it was hard to imagine them as her dating options. Ino had frightful imagination.

“Are you kidding me?! I’m not into incest. Even if I was, I’m not into the doll make-up maniacs or lacking-sleep men!”  Temari shouted to make herself clear.

“I never said you are, Tem. On the other hand, I think both Gaara and Kankuro are hot.” Ino tried to tease her to extract juicy info on her younger brothers. 

“I’m starting not to know what are your criteria in calling certain people hot, Ino.” Still, with her trembling hands, Temari took a sip of her tea.

“Tem, don’t get me wrong. I can call someone handsome and acknowledge they are good romance options, but it doesn’t mean I’m romantically interested in them.” Ino brows furrowed sensing a hidden meaning behind Temari reaction.

“I get it, okay? I was just horrified to imagine me dating with my brothers.” Perhaps it was lucky that any customer didn’t walk in yet.  The last thing Temari wanted was for strangers to know everything about her love life. 

“Good. I don’t want you misunderstanding me. I have no interest in pursuing either Gaara or Kankuro.” Temari nod made Ino smile widely. 

“Yeah, yeah.”

“Now back to the main subject of our girly-talk. How was your blind date with Shikamaru on Valentine Day? Is that the reason why you’re in a bad mood, Tem?” Temari sighed knowing Ino was just worried about them in her own way.

“It was a nightmare. ” Temari summarised pretty much everything that happened. Still, she forgot she was dealing with Ino. Ino that liked to know everything picking her curiosity.

“Tell me everything.” And after those destined words, Temari started to describe her most terrible V-day blind date ever.

Temari never celebrated Valentines, but after Ino made an effort to set up for her a blind date, she was forced to buy a bar of V-day chocolate. She didn’t know why Ino insisted this bar should be given to the unknown guy. 

Arriving at the place of meeting, Temari started to get really impatient. Why the guy was so late?! However, everything was explained when she noticed Ino set up her up with Shikamaru.

“Y-yo, Temari.” Shikamaru scratched the back of his head.

“Shikamaru, what are you doing here?”, she asked having a bad feeling about this situation.

“I have a blind date today.” It seems he caught on the Ino setting them up.

“I see. Whatever. Here is your V-Day gift from Ino.” Temari shoved the gift into Shikamaru hands feeling extremely upset. She didn’t accept his last refusal for a card rematch.

“What a drag”, he couldn’t help himself from making that comment and Temari send to him one of her “I kill you” glare.

“Choose one option. Card rematch or I’m hitting you with my fan!” Temari knew she overreacted, but she always had problems with controlling her temper. 

“Is that how older women confess to the guys younger than them? In that case, I prefer being hit by your fan. It looks like a less troublesome solution.” Shikamaru had the nerve to point out she’s older than him after getting from her chocolate bar! Yup, it’s official she hated his guts.

“Excuse me that I was born before you Mr Troublesome Lazy Ass!” Temari literally exploded with anger. She didn’t know why Shikamaru could bring out her worst side of personality.

“You know, you’re adorable when you’re mad.” Shikamaru words surprised her, but only for a moment. 

“I can literally kill you.” Temari clenched her fist. Ha! She was even prepared to engage in a battle with Shikamaru right now.

“That will be trouble, but at least I know I will die because of love,” Shikamaru muttered and hearing what he said Temari escaped from their blind date before it even began.

“Kyaa! It was so sweet of him to confess his love when you were an angry bird, Tem. Shikamaru, I’m so proud of you, I raised you as my friend well.” Temari rolled her eyes at Ino fangirling about her story. It wasn’t cute, it was a disaster! Shikamaru made her insecure about her age.

“I’m never telling you about my personal problems ever again.” Temari pouted.

“You say that, but deep down you know I’m the only person who listens to your problems anyway, so I’m sure you come back to me.” Ino response was almost too happy.

“I guess. I just don’t understand what made you squealing about my terrible relationship with Shikamaru.” Ino looked at her in disbelief.

“The part he called you adorable of course! Plus, I discovered that Shikamaru is a masochist as well, he didn’t look like a type that enjoys pain, though.” Temari sighed and left Yamanaka Flower Shop after hearing out the latest gossip circling around Konoha. 

Maybe Ino is right, maybe Shikamaru calling her adorable on V-Day meant something more. Temari couldn’t hide her small smile forming the thought that Shikamaru can give her something in return during the White Day.
