Ok I just wanted to write a really short and sweet smutty piece for ShikaTema. But I have failed miserably. I am too attached to Naruto-verse and all the characters in general. (Like, I'm so attached that I can't even read or watch most of NaruHina/SasuSaku smut - it feels WRONG).

There are a few after thoughts regarding this piece, too. I really enjoyed writing this. I really love ShikaTema and they were my first OTP. Hell, I didn't even know that the terms OTP or shipping existed when I started rooting for them. So, this is super close to my heart ❤️ and ✨unedited✨. I legit wrote 8.4k words on my phone and my eyes are rolling on the ground right now.

Anime: Naruto Shippuden (Set in post-Shippuden and pre-Boruto-verse.)

Characters: Shikamaru Nara x Temari Scenes with Ino, Sasuke, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Sai. Passing mention of Choji.

Genre: Fluff, angst, flirting, explicit sexual content 🥵, slight voyeurism, oral, raw sex

Word Count: 8.4k (yikes!)

Synopsis: Shikamaru has finally had enough of Temari’s incessant flirting

Rating: M

Minors, dni

Friends and family from all five villages had been invited to the annual Hanami Matsuri in Konoha. Hinata had invited some of Naruto's closest to their house for a brunch party before the matsuri started full swing. Hinata had cooked everything from scratch and Sakura and Ino had helped decorate her backyard with streamers and flowers. Everything looked immaculate and lovely. The boys were all specially thrilled to be getting together after such a long time.

"What a rowdy bunch," said Ino with a wide grin, a look of pride plastered on her face. Sakura grinned, too.

"Judgemental as always, Ino, I'll be joining em soon, ya know? Do you think I'm rowdy too, love? You're breaking my heart here." Shikamaru moved uncomfortably close to Ino's ear, making her squirm under his presence. He loved to lightly flirt with Ino and see her all flustered.

"Baaka janaai no? Take your charm elsewhere. Or I'm going to get Sai to beat you up one day."

"Hai hai, Ino Sensei," he winked at her and made his way to the bar to grab a beer and light a cigarette.

Sakura, visibly shaken by Shikamaru’s loose and flirtatious behaviour, grabbed Ino’s arm.

"What the hell was that, Ino?! Do...do you think he likes you?"

"What? No way. It's just an inside joke. He was the one who helped me get together with Sai, you know?"

After a long moment of admirinng the friendship she shared with Shikamaru, Ino spoke up.

"I just wish that someday he'll do something in his own i nterests, too."

"What do you mean?"

“There's someone. Loves her like a fucking dog. Like weak-in-the-knees-slash-worship-her kinda love, you know?"

"I just can’t imagine Shikamaru in the way you're describing him."

"Yeah, I get that. He really is tough to break into. Anyway, this isn't for me to share, Sakura. Let's have some of those karaage Hinata has prepared. I can't get enough of them."

Shikamaru leaned against the bar, craving a minute to himself. He wished Choji could have been there but he was away on a mission. Everyone was at the other end of the backyard or inside the house. He looked up at the sky, admiring the clouds slowly moving towards nowhere in particular. Before he could pop open the beer bottle, he noticed Temari entering with Kankuro and Gaara.

"Tsk, mendukse," he muttered under his breath.

He wasn't expecting to see Temari today. He really wasn't in the mood to be on his best behavior. The last mission had taken away a lot from him. He hadn't slept properly and he was tired. He wanted to just have a good time with the gang, maybe play some cards and get drunk out of his mind. But there she was, bright and beautiful in her stubbornness as always, making Shikamaru's heart sink and flutter all at the same time. He felt himself tighten up when she caught him looking at her.

"Hey! Shikamaru! How've you been?" she waved and shouted from across Naruto's backyard.

He waved back and put on an awkward smile.

She was walking towards him slowly. He noticed the slightly exaggerated sway in her hips and felt himself steadily losing breath. He kept his beer bottle on the table beside him and put his hands in his pockets as he waited for her to reach him.

”Hello, Temari. Wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Oh..? Why not?"

"I don't know. I thought only Kankuro would be here for the Matsuri," he inhaled the smoke from his cigarette deeply before tapping it.

"Well, I am here. And you'll show me around, yes?"

He stayed silent for a moment too long and his eyes pierced into hers. He finally broke her gaze and moved his head to the side to blow out the smoke.

"If I'm free, I'll grab ya."

"What do you mean if you're free? Is that how you treat your guests, Shikamaru-kun?" Temari tugged at his t-shirt and teased slightly, pouting at him, never leaving his gaze. She loved to see Shikamaru get awkward around her. The green of her eyes had him weak in his knees again.

Shikamaru looked down at his t-shirt bunched up in her delicate hands. She was mindlessly moving her thumb in circles against his chest. He felt a flash of an indescribable feeling and something inside him broke loose.

He held her arm and pulled her dangerously close. Temari's eyes widened and she let out an audible gasp.

"I know how to treat a guest like you very well, Temari," he spoke in a low, hoarse voice, his lips barely inches away from hers.

"I... I ...Shikamaru... What..what are you doing Everyone... someone could be watching. What would they think?"

"Hmm ..what would they think, Temari?" Shikamaru spoke in a tone so cold that Temari felt a shiver go down her spine.

"Let me go, you idiot."

He gripped her arm harder, grit his teeth, and shoved his thigh between her legs. She let out a soft moan and he felt her back arch ever so slightly.

"Shik.." He suddenly let her go, leaving her too flustered to collect herself. He picked up his beer and grabbed another another one before walking towards everyone else.

"What's up, Kankuro?" he said loudly.

"Same old, genius," Kankuro patted him on the back as he took the beer bottle from him.

When Shikamaru reached the others gathered around the table, he noticed that Temari was still standing at the bar. Her hands were balled into tight fists, and from the rise and dip of her shoulders he could tell she was breathing deeply. He looked away and stopped paying attention to her for fear that he'll start coming to terms with what he had just done. And, he wasn't looking forward to that.

Shikamaru avoided Temari throughout the brunch but always caught her stealing glances at him. He could see the smirk on her face everytime she got a chance to be near him. He was losing his patience with the woman. She was deliberately brushing her hands against his. She was finding ways of leaning over him to grab food or drinks, brushing her hair against his face. Everytime she got up from the table they were all huddled around, playing poker, she made sure she lightly brushed his groin with her ass. Getting through the brunch proved to be frustrating at worst and left him breathless at best.

Everyone started leaving slowly, like people often do. They said their goodbyes and hugged and promised to do this again sometime soon. When Temari and her brothers left, Shikamaru let out a sigh of relief. Everyone had left except him and Sasuke.

"I see something's brewing in your pants, ahem, I mean your brain, you bastard," Naruto joked out loud.

"Hai hai, she's going to be the death of me." Shikamaru leaned his head back on the chair. His eyes followed a lone cloud.

"Well, then, you shouldn't have given her a taste of you like that at the bar, ya know?" Sasuke smirked.

"I'm sick of your eyes seeing everything everywhere. Mendukse ne. Tsk." Shikamaru let out a puff of smoke.

"Don't worry, no one noticed you both doing whatever the fuck you were doing throughout. They were all drunk, anyway."

"Yeah, not worried. Alright, gotta do some stuff before the matsuri starts, boys. Jaana!"

Shikamaru walked out of Naruto’s and clutched the green clip he'd bought for Temari long back. He carried it everywhere in order to be prepared to give it to her should the occasion arise. Perhaps it was his way of having a little control over this situation. He started to make his way to his home but thought better of it and walked towards the inn he knew Temari was staying at. She always stayed there because of how pretty and secluded it was. It gave her a chance to be away from her two brothers.

When he reached, he paced back and forth. His nerves were catching up to him.

"What if she gets angry? What if she never talks to me again?" His mind was over-flowing with questions he had no answers to. Questions he didn’t want answers to.

He got tired of thinking through the details and just went ahead, fully aware that his actions didn't align with the kind of man he was. But, over the years he'd realised that this was one matter he couldn't rationalise. He couldn't plan or predict this. He couldn't fit it into a strategy or logic. All he knew for certain was that he came undone everytime Temari so much as looked at him. He found himself perched on the balcony of her room.

She was going for a bath. Once she entered the bath, Shikamaru jumped inside the room and made himself comfortable as he leaned against the shelf on the wall infront of the washroom. He blended in with the room, completely still and quiet, as he waited for Temari to come out. He just wanted to talk. Just wanted to see her again. Be near her, again.

He waited for about 20 minutes, his mind a wilderness amd tangle of multiple ways he would explain what he was doing in her room, before she stepped out. When she did, she was naked and drenched in water, a scenario he hadn’t thought through. The water droplets made her body glitter in the soft early-evening sunlight. Shikamaru involuntarily gasped and bit his lip. Despite himself, he scanned her top to bottom as she mumbled something to herself. She looked absolutely stunning. He wanted nothing more than to love her with his entire being. Something tugged hard at his insides, he felt a drunkenness swallow him whole.

"Ugh, I don't know why I always forget to take my towel in the bath, it's so cold, fuck" mumbled Temari to herself as she looked around for the towel. She had goosebumps all over her body from the cool air. She was running late for the Matsuri, too. Her yukata was not ironed yet. Her phone kept buzzing and all of it was driving her up the wall. To top it all, she couldn't stop thinking about how Shikamaru had shoved his thigh between her legs earlier. How less it had taken for her to just yield. In the chaos, she completely missed Shikamaru, comfortable beside the shelf, quietly admiring her.

She bent down to pick up the towel on wooden stool right next to the washroom door. "I can't believe the towel was here all along, tsk. Where is my mind today?"

As she started getting up, she found herself unable to move. Terror painted her face. Back muscle? Slipped disc? A hundred explanations ran through her head before something made her unclench her hand around the towel, making it fall on the floor. A force made her sit still on the stool. It made her spread her legs and move her hands to her nipples, pulling them, all against her will. She gasped at her own touch, bewildered. She struggled to break out of whatever the fuck was happening but her limbs wouldn't listen to her.

Shikamaru quitely walked towards her and stroked her face gently. He bent down, his lips just a hair's length from Temari's ears.

"Kaagemane no jutsu, sekko," whispered Shikamaru hoarsely.

"Sh..shikamaru..wha...what's the meaning of..." she felt a darkness shove itself down her throat. Shikamaru had used his shadows to bind her throat as well as stop her from speaking.

"You're going to sit tight and do exactly what I want you to." He knew Temari was utterly baffled and terrified. Her face made it very clear.

"I won't take you to the matsuri otherwise, Temari," smirked Shikamaru.

He could feel the heat from her body. He moved back, his eyes tracing each and every part of it.

"You're gorgeous, you know?" he said as he settled in a chair in front of her. Shikamaru noticed that Temari's soft breasts perked up involuntarily at his words. He spread his legs to mirror her. He wanted to appear collected and he lit a cigarette to calm himself down. His insides felt gooey. He slowly pulled out the shadow from her mouth so she could breathe.

"Feel better?"

Temari gagged and panted and slowly nodded, her chin was covered with her own drool. She looked like a dream, she looked absolutely unreal to Shikamaru. His hands itched, his breath faltered, and he could feel the hair on his neck stand up.

Too embarrassed and shocked and scared and aroused all at once, Temari looked away from Shikamaru's piercing eyes.

"Shi...Shikamaru..ple..please. What do you think you're doing? This is..." she spoke in a strong voice but Shikamaru could hear the slight tremble.

He lost his patience and cut her off meanly.

"What do you think you were doing at the brunch? Strutting around all pretty for me like that. Hmm?"

"For you?" Temari mustered the courage to bite back, her eyebrows rose.

Temari felt a deep blush rising in her cheeks when Shikamaru didn't move or say anything. He usually couldn't bear to look at her in the eyes for more than half a minute. But today, his gaze was unwavering.

After a momemt, Shikamaru took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice, a baritone she'd never heard escape his soft lips.

"You think I'm blind? You think I wouldn't notice, hmm? All that unintentional brushing against me? All that pouting and tugging at my t-shirt? Your ass grinding my cock everytime we squeezed through that corridoor? Your tits in my fucking face infront of everyone?"

He tried to calm himself down. He was aware he was going a bit too far.

"The way you leaned into me when I grabbed your arm? The way your nipples hardened underneath your thin dress? Your little moan, the subtle arch in your back when I shoved my thigh between your legs? The way your lips parted? The way your wet tongue almost darted out?"

Temari's cheeks were a burning red now. So, clearly, he had noticed. She was never sure with him. She knew he was perceptive but she'd been hinting since years now, and he had never ever made a move. Even though she'd caught a kind of hunger in his face a million times, she always thought she was making it up in her own head. Of course, she'd never been this explicit with her hints, but she only got the courage because of the way Shikamaru had handled her at the bar. A little teasing as revenge for getting a woman like her so flustered wouldn't hurt, she'd thought.

But, she also hadn't expected this kind of a reaction from Shikamaru. She really thought he would just be his usual awkward self. Shikamaru taking charge of the situation woke in her something that she didn’t understand . She was steadily growing moist under his watch, her thighs were slippery, and she was throbbing for his touch.

Was he doing this just to get back at her for all of her friendly flirting? Or was there something else she was missing? Had she really fallen for someone she didn't know at all?

She felt her head snap in Shikamaru's direction.

"Look at me," he grit his teeth.

She felt her left hand moving to her growing wetness and her right tugging at her own nipple. Shikamaru's small smile told her he was helplessly enjoying himself. She gasped and moaned uncontrollably as he made her rub her clit against her will.

"That's it, love, let me watch you rub yourself," he bit his lip. His eyes were filled with the same hunger she'd witnessed so many times before. So it was real. It had always been real. He sucked in a breath through his teeth.

It took Shikamaru every ounce of strength and control to keep himself from just taking her right there and then. He was suppressing years of pent up frustration and desire. He was very hot and very bothered and his joggers were getting way too tight for him.

His jutsu made Temari touch herself exactly like how he'd imagined so many times before. He made her rub herself agonizingly slow, pinch her nipples hard, and then suddenly made her right hand drop to her throbbing cunt, too. He made her decrease the pressure on her clit and shove two fingers inside of herself.

Her moans filled the room and Shikamaru felt his face burn. She looked like a goddess. He wanted, so badly, to get on his knees and just lick her, feel the warmth of her thighs around his face, feel her gushing in his mouth. He wanted nothing but to love this woman with the entirety of his being. He ran his hands through his hair to focus himself and catch his breath.

Her eyes, a mixture of anger and love and arousal, hadn’t left his since he’d made her snap her head in his direction. He loved that she was standing up to him in her own way. His eyes hadn't left her body, her face, her fingers working in and around her cunt. His mouth watered and cock twitched at the sloppy noises her fingers and wetness made.

She begged for release. It took her a while but her arousal made her shed all fear or embarrassment. She'd found the comfort his presence always gave her, the usual sense of security she felt around him was back. His greed and hunger for her was painted on his face, clear as day.

"Fas...faster, ple...please Shika..I can't.." she breathed helplessly, her sentence punctuated by moans.

"Time for another finger, love," Shikamaru sucked in his lower lip as her finger moved at his will.

Temari felt a heat bloom in her core and her legs shivered from the intensity of it all.

As he made her fuck herself with three fingers, she suddenly felt her left hand move away from her clit and then come down crashing. She realised Shikamaru was making her slap her clit, not once, not twice, but repeatedly and in quick successions. She moaned out his name out of habit.

"Fuck, look at you moaning my name, you look so beautiful, Temari. My name on your lips like that, it's making me harder." He teased her in a silky voice.

Temari had lost all control by now. She was writhing as much as Shikamaru allowed her to, the stool under her was about give away, and her wrists ached from all the work Shikamaru was making her do.

"Shika...Shikamaru, I'm gonna.. I'm gonna..."

She suddenly felt her hands move away from her swollen cunt. She clenched around emptiness and throbbed for him, realising that he'd denied her any kind of release.

"Shikamaru, please, please... please..." she panted, sweaty and messy.

"Please what?"

"Pl...please let me..," she gulped. She was so embarrassed she was saying this out loud. Infront of him.

"Let you what?"

"Please, let me cum," she mumbled.

"Yeah? Look at the mess you've made, love. Do you want me to help you clean up?" His shadow made her head bend down to look at the pool she'd given birth to. Temari nodded lightly and that's all it took for Shikamaru to get on his knees and bring his mouth to her soft cunt. He kept her bound by his shadows so she couldn't move. He rested his calloused hands on her inner thighs and gave her a long lick all the way from her moist and throbbing opening to her cute little button of a clit. The voice that escaped her throat gave Shikamaru goosebumps.

"I love you," moaned Temari in a whisper.

Shikamaru's ears were now warm and beet red, his face buried harder between her thighs and his fingers dug into her skin. He loved her. God, he loved her so much. He loved every little thing she did, every noise that escaped her lips. Every time her body jerked from his touch, it sent his mind in a frenzy.

The cold metal of his earrings against her inner thighs made her shiver. His sharp hair tickled her. She moaned out his name again as he moved his tongue in and out of her quickly. He felt her clench around his tongue. He brought his thumb to her clit and rubbed it in quick and dirty circles, the metal of his rings cool and electrifying. He looked up at her face with the same hunger in his eyes that always made Temari skip a beat.

"Say, how many times have you moaned out my name like this, Temari?" he whispered and went back to giving her soft, gentle licks.

Temari blushed a beautiful pink again and bit her lip. She found it extremely hard to form a coherent sentence, the way his mouth and hands were handling her was perfect.

"I..I've ...I've lost...co..unfff..count."

He smiled against her skin and showered her wetness with kisses and nibbles. He inserted a finger as he lapped up her clit and felt her clench again, this time around his finger. He curled his finger and Temari let out a small whimper. He moved his finger in and out and slowly inserted a second and third one till she was panting, his thin and long tongue never ceasing to flutter around her clit.

"Shika...Shika I'm gonna..I'm gonna cum. Do...don't stop"

At this, Shikamaru ceased all movement. It took him immense control to leave her wanting like that, again. But, it had to be done. He didn’t understand why but he wanted her to beg, not hint anymore. He'd had enough of her innocent flirting and teasing and it was his turn to have her writhing before him.

"Are...are you serious!?" shouted Temari.

A loud gutteral sound escaped Temari's lips. She'd been edged twice in the last half an hour and she hated it. She hated that Shikamaru won't let her cum. But it felt so good. The way he looked at her, talked to her, touched her, it was all unbearable.

Shikamaru lightly traced her lips with his fingers and then shoved them in her mouth. She licked herself off his fingers hungrily and Shikamaru's cock rose, eliciting a small playful chuckle from Temari. He smiled back at her. His lips and chin glistened with Temari's slick. He licked it clean and then walked back to the chair. She throbbed for release but she could see Shikamaru had other plans.

Without further delay, Shikamaru picked up her towel and dried her hair as she sat still, bound by his jutsu. He dressed her up in her dark blue Yukata.

"Shikmaru, please, I won't be able to bear it," Temari said as Shikamaru tied her obi.

"Bear what?" he cooed in her ear and cocked his head innocently.

"You're a fucking bastard. How are you planning to do my hair? Obviously I can't step out like this." Temari fumed.

Shikamaru moved behind her as his shadows made her sit in front of the mirror. Her entire body ached from being controlled like a puppet for so long. She felt Shikamaru's fingers comb through her hair and her eyes closed.

When she opened her eyes finally, she gasped in surprise at how beautiful she looked. Shikamaru had perfectly done up her hair.

She also noticed a green clip he'd slid in one of her pony tails. It was a delicate branch of leaves, studded with small embralds. She was standing in front of him now, her body pressed against his.

"Where and when did you learn to do a girl's hair?"

"Oh, I have a few daughters spread around town. Why? Jealous?" mocked Shikamaru.

Temari glared at him.

"The clip is beautiful. Thank you."

"It suits you. Brings out your eyes." He murmured, unable to stop himself from kissing her jaw. He mentally kicked himself for saying something so cheesy instead of a simple welcome.

"Let's go, I've to show you around the Hanabi Matsuri, no?"

"B..but, Shikamaru?"

"Hmm?" he asked as he trailed his fingers along her long neck.

"My..my panties...?" Temari was blushing so hard that Shikamaru couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He loved being cocky with her.

"No panties today," he whispered and spanked her ass loudly, making her jump as much as she could while being bound with his jutsu.

Only when they reached the Matsuri did Shikamaru free her of his jutsu. Finally free of him, she could do whatever she wanted to. She wanted him right then and there. But, there were so many people around, it was as good as being tied up.

"I'll be right behind you, Temari," whispered Shikamaru as he lightly squeezed her ass in the crowd. She could feel her thighs slipping against each other as she walked uncomfortably. She was still a slobbering mess and all of this teasing wasn't helping. Shikamaru was his usual self, not a hint of discomfort in his voice.

They went from stall to stall, eating and chatting, meeting up with everyone when Shikamaru caught her looking intently at a pair of kunai. She was caressing the blades and the handle, appreciating the craft.

"I can carve your name on it, too!" said the seller.

"Oh really? That's amazing!"

"What are you looking at?" Shikamaru leaned on the table full of decorative kunai as he popped a handful of peanuts in his mouth.

"Nothing, I really love this pair. It would look spectacular in my collection. I have a decorative pair from wherever I've been. Don't have one from Konoha for some reason."

"Hmm." He frowned. After a pause he said, a bit unsure, "Will you let me get these for you?"

"What? Why? No! I can get them. It's cool."

He took her hands in his and kissed her fingers.

"Yeah, I know. But I want to get these for you."

"I really couldn't. You got me the clip, too!"

"Who said the clip is yours?"

"Uhh... why'd you put it in my hair then?" embarrassed at the assumptions she'd made.

Shikamaru burst out laughing.

"I'm messing with you. I got the clip for you long back. Just...never got a chance to give it to you." A sad smile lingered on his face for a fraction of a seocnd. Temari blushed and looked away from his piercing gaze. What the hell was it with his eyes today. They just wouldn’t let her go.

"Please, let me get the kunai for you. It would mean so much to me." Shikamaru murmured softly against her hands.

"Hmm. Alright, I guess you owe me that much," she winked and gave him a shy smile.

Shikamaru's face lit up and he smiled so brightly that Temari wanted nothing more than to smother him with kissEd. He looked like a child who had just been given a box full of candies.

"I ..want to get today's date carved on it too."

"Yeah? Why?"

"I'd like to remember today."

"Why?" a shy smile spread across Shikamaru's face.

"Stop it."

"Here you go, love." He handed her the bag.

As Temari peeked into the packet, she heard Ino, Sakura, and Hinata coming over to them. When Naruto pulled Shikamaru aside to check out another stall, Ino pounced on the chance.

"How's it going, Temari?" asked Ino.

"Great! I'm just exploring. A little tired, really."

"Hmmmmm. Tired from the journey or....?" Ino teased knowingly and Sakura and Hinata laughed.

"What..what do you mean?" Temari asked, wide-eyed.

"Oh come on! We all know what you've been up to," said Sakura and winked at her.

"I have no idea what you girls are talking about."

"Temari, the three of us had come to pick you up at the inn because you weren't picking up your phone," Hinata jumped in, failing to keep a straight face. Temari's face went pale and she looked the other way.

"We could hear some very interesting noises so we thought we'll leave you be," Sakura giggled.

"Hey, it's alright. This'll stay between us. We're just messing with you." reassured Ino.

"We're happy for you Temari. This was long due. We've been rooting for you both." chimed in Hinata.

"Girls, he's killing me," Temari finally broke down.

"Well, you've been toying with him since years. Let him have some fun."

"I haven't been toying with him. I love him. He's just dense."

"He's anything but dense," Hinata cut Temari off and all three girls looked at her, surprised. "He's..he's not dense. Just really considerate."

"Sooooo, Te-ma-ri chan, is he any good in bed?" snickered Sakura to break the awkward silence.

"We...we haven't...we haven't really done anything yet," stuttered Temari.

"What? What was all that screaming and moaning out his name for?" probed Sakura. The girls couldn't stop giggling.

"Well...we..uh...he just..."

"What are you all gossiping about? Ino, 20 bucks if I win the shooting game." challenged Sai. He was walking over to the girls with Shikamaru, Sasuke, and Naruto.

"Ohhh? Let's see who wins then." Both of them walked to the shooting stall hand in hand. Sasuke noticed Temari blushing and he glanced at Shikamaru, amused.

"Do y'all wanna have Ramen?" asked Naruto. "Sure, let's go!" "Let's wait for Ino and Sai."

Ino returned victorious, mocking Sai. The 4 couples walked towards the ramen stall, bantering and mocking each other about something or the other. The crowd was thinning steadily, the after-hours of the festival full of laughter and chatter. Temari felt Shikamaru's hand snake around her waist.

"I can't wait to take this Yukata off off you, Temari," Shikamaru whispered. They'd fallen a few steps behind.

"You look so beautiful. I bet you're still wet from earlier." He spoke in a silky voice against the sweaty skin of her neck and softly bit her ear. His hand cupped her heat and Temari slapped his hand away, making him chuckle.

Temari stayed absolutely still. When she didn't say anything, Shikamaru frowned.

"What's... what's wrong?" Shikamaru asked, concerned. Back in his senses now, he faltered and blushed at what he'd just said and done.

Temari spoke hurriedly like a quick rainstorm, "Please, can we go back to the inn? Make me yours already. I've been yearning for you since so long. And now I know you have been, too. It's plain as day that we both want eachother, why won't you just take me back? Why subject me to all this waiting? Haven't we waited for so long already? It doesn't make any sense."

Shikamaru felt his knees giving away but he steadied himself and softened his tone. He turned her around and pecked her jaw and the insides of her wrists. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he said, "Just a little bit longer, love. Let's eat with the gang first. I promise I'll make you feel so good once we get home, princess." "Shikamaru, everyone...everyone knows about us..." "So?" "So? You're okay with that?" "Why wouldn't I be? I would like to make it very clear that you're mine." "Oh..."

"Oi, you two lovebirds. Get here quick. We'll lose our spot otherwise," shouted Naruto.

Shikamru grabbed her hand and walked towards the restaurant. They all settled in on the low outdoor benches and Shikamaru made Temari sit on his thigh, his left hand wrapped around her waist. Temari felt awkward at first but she leaned into him when she saw so many couples around her.

Even Hinata, the shyest of them all, was sitting in Naruto's lap, wrapped around him like a child. She blushed when she noticed Naruto's hand stroking Hinata's waist softly. She caught him whispering sweet nothings in Hinata's ears as Hinata smiled shyly. Sakura, too, was sitting between Sasuke's legs. Sasuke was putting a flower in her hair as he spoke about some mission with all of them. Ino's legs were in Sai's lap as he drew mindless circles on her thighs with his fingers.

The atmosphere was so drunken and happy and full of love that she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. There were fairy-lights everywhere and red lanterns swayed back and forth in the gentle wind. Flower petals and leaves blew around them. The laughter and cling and clatter of the utensils made her feel alive.

When they had ordered and were mid-conversation, Temari suddenly pecked Shikamaru on his cheek, stopping him mid-sentence. He raised his eyebrows and pecked her nose and continued talking about how he beat Asuma in a training session and everyone listened to him intently. She noticed that his hands never left her. She eased in completely, never having known such familiarity in an unfamiliar place. The sake was rich, the ramen was perfect, and the company was warm.

Late at night when all of them were buzzed and tired, they said their goodbyes. The three girls winked at Temari as she felt Shikamaru squeeze her ass for the tenth time that night. //

"I can't wait for the saucy details. I'm not letting Temari go without telling us everything." Sakura spoke hurriedly to Ino and Hinata.

"Temari is the one I was talking about earlier today, Sakura! I didn't think things would happen so fast! Did you see him, he didn't let her out of his sight or hands for a single second," Ino giggled.

"He's addicted! But, you both should just leave them be now. Don't go around spying on them!" Hinata laughed and blushed at the same time.

"Oh, he's more than addicted, I'm sure of it," said Ino.

"Hina, let's go babygirl," Naruto called out in a hoarse voice. Hinata blushed a deep red, knowing the girls will tease her about her nick-name forever now.

"Haha! Go on babygirl! See you tomorrow!" Ino and Sakura teased her. The girls giggled and hugged before leaving.

Temari and Shikamaru walked towards nowhere in particular.

"So, your place or mine?" asked Shikamaru. He chuckled as he stroked her face. He wanted to kiss her lips so much.

"How about yours?" Temari was finally in her element and she fingered is t-shirt like she had at the brunch. She looked at him with her deep green eyes and Shikamaru felt himself losing control.

"God, I want you so bad, Temari. Tsk. You've no idea." He held her hands and kissed her fingers.

They walked quietly, enjoying the cool breeze.

"Shikamaru, why haven't you ever made a move? I don't think that you've only just realised how I feel about you."

Shikamaru took a deep breath but stayed quiet.

"Well?"

He stopped and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Temari, I am only going to say this once... All these years, I was scared that you were just playing with me. You've had several boyfriends, too. I've literally given you advice on how to make up with them. And so I never knew what to make of all your teasing and flirting. I didn't think you felt for me the way I do for you... In fact, I don't think you can ever feel for me the way I feel for you."

He paused.

"The last mission took a lot away from me, Temari. When I saw you today, toying with me again like that, something snapped in me. I acted on an impulse that I usually keep under control. But, seeing you react the way you did to me today told me more than enough." He gave her a small smile. Temari stood still, her face betrayed nothing.

"Let's go," whispered Shikamaru. "Hmm."

When they reached Shikamaru's flat, Temari spent a minute looking around. Everything was immaculate and in place. She was admiring all the photos on the wall when she felt Shikamaru quickly untie her obi. Her breath hitched in her throat and she softly moaned out his name.

"Hmm?"

"I wasn't toying with you. I never have."

"Yeah?"

"Hmm."

He had her naked and pressed against his body in a matter of seconds. He began to untie her hair but Temari stopped him. "Leave the clip be."

He bit the insides of his cheek to keep himself from smiling like an idiot. His hands roamed around her body hungrily. He kissed and nibbled at her neck and shoulders and she kept her hands on his as he trailed them all over her breasts and stomach, halting at her inner thighs. She moved her hips slowly against him.

He drew light circles around her left nipple and greedily squeezed her right thigh. Temari gasped at the pressure and Shikamaru turned her around. He held her face tenderly, pulled her close, and finally kissed her lips. He came alive under her touch. The greed with which Temari sucked on his lips made him shiver and lose breath. He smiled against her flesh and walked her towards the sofa in his living room, kissing her all the while. He made her sit down, lightly held her chin, and made her look up at him.

"Spread your legs, Temari," his voice hoarse from desire.

He held the backrest of the sofa with his left hand, dug his right knee on the sofa, and bent over her. Temari wrapped her hand around his left hand, and her other stroked his hair. He lightly touched her moist folds with two fingers and let out a small grunt at how wet she was. He lazily rubbed her clit, his eyes never leaving hers. He took in her supple body full of scars from missions. The way she, finally, fully arched her back at his touch, offering herself to him. The way her naked nipples hardened against his moist tongue. The way goosebumps decorated her entire body. Her reaction to his touch sent his mind in a chaos. What happened in the afternoon was nothing compared to how she blossomed under him now.

As soon as she tugged at his t-shirt, he removed his clothes, just his black briefs on him. Temari took him in, he looked like a sculpture. He appeared so lean clothed but his arms were huge and his chest was stunning. The light hair sprinkled all over softened his hard chest and chiselled face. Temari couldn't take her eyes off his torso, she was practically drooling. Shikamaru felt his face heating up at her gaze. He'd never been looked at like that.

"Like what you see, princess?" he spoke when he recovered from all her oggling.

"Hmm," she smiled coyly and bit her lips.

She saw his briefs stretching, the bulge too prominent to miss. She moved her face towards his clothed cock and licked the tip eliciting a groan from him. She moved her face to the side of his waist and tongued the waistband of his briefs. She took the waistband in between her teeth and pulled his briefs down. His cock slapped his stomach as it broke free from being constrained for so long. Shikamaru stayed absolutely still, breathing heavily, his eyes never leaving hers.

Temari gave his cock a slow, wet lick from the base to the tip and he twitched, lightly slapping her cheek. She showered it with moist kisses and fluttered her tongue around his pale pink and warm head.

"Fuck..." Shikamaru suddenly grabbed Temari and flipped her around.

"On your knees, ma'am."

Before Temari could even settle in, she felt his cock rubbing against at her clit. She looked back at him as she moved with him.

"So eager, Shika..ahh fuck,"

Shikamaru thrust three fingers inside her before she could complete her sentence, taking her by surprise. His other hand bunched up her hair. He moved his fingers hard and fast. He noticed Temari's toes curling and her head digging into the backrest. He leaned over her and kissed her back and neck before he spoke.

"You're doing so well baby, let me feel you cumming around my fingers," he spoke in a soft voice.

"I...I'm gonna...cum."

Shikamaru felt his heart beating like a hummingbird as he felt Temari clench around his fingers and he felt a warmth coating his hands and his cock. She whimpered quietly, her voice lost from the powerful orgasm, at finding the release she had been denied all day. Shikamaru pulled out his fingers, positioned his cock at her cunt, and dug his hands in her waist as he slowly began to enter her.

"Shika..Shikmaru, plea.. I can't.." Temari panted, still recovering from her orgasm.

"Shhh, you're taking me so well baby, just a little bit more." He slowed down even more, giving her time to adjust. Her thighs shivered as she eased around him and took him in.

"You're easing around me just fine, princess. I promise I'm gonna be slow." murmured Shikamaru against her flesh.

He slowly started moving and increased his pace, and Temari's moans got louder with each thrust, till she was screaming out his name, till she was babbling nonsense. His hands travelled everywhere across her body hungrily. Shikamaru's face burned, his heart fluttered, and he felt like a million little butterflies had just taken birth in his belly. He never wanted to hear anything else from Temari except whatever escaped her petal-like lips as he fucked her. She held his hand tight.

"Fuck..ahh" He loved the way she cussed in a small voice before he felt her gushing around him again; the profanity morphed into something lovely coming from her wet mouth. He felt himself buckling as he thrust himself inside her hard and pulled out, eliciting an ungodly voice from Temari.

He flipped her around again, and positioned himself between her legs. He entered her again, slowly, and cupped her right breast with his hand and took her left nipple in his mouth. A sigh of relief left Temari's lips as she stroked his hair.

He moved in and out of her gently and his lips made their way up to her neck, nibibling and kissing her chest and shoulders and arms till he buried his face in her neck, settling in.

Temari's hands roamed all over his body and finally came to rest on his shoulders, her legs were hitched around his waist. She could see his back and hips flex with each thrust. It made her clench harder around him and arch her back into him. They moved together, taking each other in as much as they could, Shikamaru nibbled and sucked on her neck and she circled her tongue around his earrings.

He panted and her broken sighs followed with every thrust. They were lost in the way they both came undone with each other, the messy, sloppy sound of his cock moving in and out of her the only thing that pulled them back to reality.

"Shikamaru, I'm gonna.. gonna...unfff."

He could feel her tightening around him like never before before she suddenly loosened up. She came around his cock, growing so wet that he slipped out of her. He pushed himself back inside her, making her bite his neck, and started fucking her relentlessly. Overstimulated, Temari suddenly shivered violently and squirted.

"That's it, love. Such a good girl."

He didn't break his pace and Temari's nails dug into his back, scratching him everywhere. Shikamaru grit his teeth so he wouldn't make a sound as she used his body to calm down. After what seemed like like a blissful eternity of short and quick thrusts, Shikamaru pulled out again and sat up on the sofa, his legs spread open. He kissed the entirety of her legs, waiting for her to recover from her orgasm. When he saw she'd calmed down, he held Temari's waist and brought her on top of him.

"I want to watch you," he murmured against her breasts. The intensity with which he looked at her made Temari uncontrollably shy and she felt a raw heat taking flight in her belly and face.

"Haven't you watched me enough already?" she panted, still out of breath, hinting at what he'd done to her after brunch.

"It's never going to be enough."

She breathed heavily on his skin as she felt his cock twitching against her clit. She involuntarily moved against his hardness, making him grunt.

Shikamaru traced her outline and took her breasts in his mouth, sucking and nibbling at them, as she moved slowly. She took his cock in her hand and positioned it, and then sat on him in one go, making Shikamaru throw his head back and dig his fingers in her hips.

"fuck."

He recovered and watched her slowly grind against him and sucked a breath in through his gritted teeth.

"Fuck, Temari, you're dri... what the hell?" his head suddenly snapped at the windows. He looked pissed, his eyebrows suddenly sharper. Confused, Temari looked at the windows as well.

Shikamaru drew the curtains shut with his shadows. They heard giggles and quick footsteps outside until everything went quiet.

"I bet it's Sakura and Ino," giggled Temari.

He felt her tighten around him.

"Oh, you like that, huh? Being watched like that?"

"N..no! They've been after my life for ‘details’."

"Would you like to put a show on for the girls?" he asked in a small whisper. He felt her clench around him again. He twitched inside her, at the thought of everyone watching him make her his. "I think it's you who'd like to put on a show, no?" challenged Temari.

Shikamaru blushed and then came alive with a child-like laughter. He held her head and brought it to his neck. He kissed her head and then without a warning, he started fucking her hard, and faster, than before. She bit down on his neck, marking him pink and purple, as he fucked her till she lost her voice and came around him in quick successions again. Spent and tired, she clung to him like a child. Shikamaru got up and carried her upstairs to the bedroom, all the while throbbing inside her.

He laid her down on his bed and spooned her. Shikamaru was hard as a rock and ready to go but he knew Temari was too spent. He gave her small nibbles and bites as he traced her body with his hands, fingering all her scars.

"You never said anything, you know?

"What do you mean?"

"When I said I love you."

"Hmm. Should I have said something?"

"Yes," she replied curtly.

"Yeah? Like what?"

"I don't know. Anything."

"Let me say it to you in my way?" he murmured.

"And what way is that?" she turned her head to look at him, frowning.

He made her lick his hands and stroked his cock, wetting it before he entered her ever so slowly. He lifted her leg and hooked it on his arm as they both looked deep into each other's eyes. Both of them gasped as his balls kissed her clit. Temari felt fuller than before and Shikamaru's face felt hot.

"Rub yourself," Shikamaru whispered.

Temari immediately complied and he felt her ass digging into his belly. He moved inside of her in slow and hard thrusts for a while before Temari felt his pace faltering. He looked at her and raised his eyebrows in question. She bit her lip and nodded quickly.

Temari came around him again. She couldn't bear how intimate it all was. The moment she tightened around him, he grunted, hid his face in her hair, and came inside of her, his warmth spreading everywhere inside her.

They both passed out before Shikamaru had a chance to slip out of her.

Right before sunrise, Shikmaru woke up, his limp cock still buried in Temari. He pulled out slowly and Temari stirred. He covered her up with a blanket and went to the washroom to freshen up. Itching for a cigarette, he went downstairs to his balcony. He lightly pinched himself to check if he was in a dream. Then he muttered at his own stupidity. When he made his way upstairs, she was snoring lightly. He sat beside her. After an hour or so of just observing her, he felt himself getting hard. He leaned his head back on the headrest. "Mendukse onna," he muttered under his breath, genuinely tired of his own arousal for her.

He slowly moved between her legs and started to lightly nibble at her clit. He placed small kisses on her mound. When he couldn't control himself, he dove in, lapping up her pussy messily. She sighed and moaned deeply as she rose from her deep sleep. She jerked and came quickly on his tongue.

"Morning, baby," Shikamaru murmured against her spasming thighs. "Morning," Temari whispered, slightly out of breath.

He quickly came up to spoon her again and showered her neck with kisses, making her laugh. That same laugh that had made him realise he'd fallen in love with her. That same laugh that had made him realise that he didn't only appreciate her as a friend, didn't only have immense respect for her, didn't only have this need to be a better person for her, but also wanted her to be entirely his. He kissed her lips deeply, his heart beating so loudly he thought he would faint. They lay there, kissing each other for a long time.

"Shikamaru, I want...I want a life with you." "Me too, baby," he whispered against her back. "I want...I want a nice house with you, I want to take care of you, I want to go on missions with you." He stilled. After a brief pause, she mustered the courage to say something she'd only ever dreamed of. "I want... I want a child with you." His eyes widened. It took him a moment to recover but to Temari's surprise he took it quite well. "Yeah? Only if it'll have your eyes." "And your hair," she said way too quick. "But, only after some time. I want to spend time with you first. I want your undivided attention for a while."

He turned her around and kissed her deep again. He then held her waist and made her sit on his face. Temari gasped.

"I can't get enough of you Temari. Stay for a while. Please don't go back just yet." He spoke against her thighs. He lazily licked her swollen clit, taking his sweet time. She rode his face slow and then gradually increased her pace to match the messy and quick way his tongue loved her. She moaned his name hoarsely as she gushed around his mouth again. She felt him smiling against her throbbing wetness.

She moved to sit down on his groin, rubbing his cock against her wetness. Shikamaru folded his hands behind his head as he watched her sleepily. As she took him inside her, he squeezed his eyes shut and bit his lip. She slowly moved on top of him, her breasts hovered over his chest and face.

"Cum for me, Shikamaru," she whispered as she increased her pace. She felt his balls harden and scrunch up against her ass and he shivered and moaned out her name. He thrusted her hard thrice and Temari felt him cumming inside her again. She lied down on top of him and he stroked her hair, her clip shone bright in the soft morning sunlight.

He kissed her forehead. "I love you."

Afterthoughts

I think the whole idea of Ino and Sakura being so nosy really fits in well with the whole dynamic. I really enjoyed crafting the dialogue. I think the slightly voyeuristic undertone to this piece has really been derived from Ino and Choji spying on ShikaTema in the anime. A lot of fanart also has Ino and Choji in the background. And so, it isn’t really kinky or dirty sex here, but more about bringing out that old-school friendship that Shikamaru shares with Ino and others.

I have deliberately removed Choji from this piece. I don’t know but I dont think I can ever write Choji well. I also feel that Shikamaru would actually share girl problems with Ino or Naruto. But for all other life stuff, he would actually talk to Choji. I also really enjoyed writing the internal struggle that Shikamaru faced. The hair clip was really only put in the story to bring out his need to plan and prepare for something that he knows is totally out of his control.

I found it tough to write Temari’s strong character at first (specially in the scene where she’s kinda tied up) but I realised that she doesn’t have to be strong with and around Shikamaru. That’s largely what draws me to them. The whole idea of both of these calm and strong characters going batshit crazy for each other is really an HC for me, haha. Both of them are so secure in and sure of each other’s strength - they really don’t have to put up a facade.

The scene where Shikamaru buys the Kunai for Temari is really a manifestation of his respectful love™ for Temari. He wants to buy her the world but he also understands that she’s fully capable of doing that herself. He understands that she has a strong sense of ‘I can get stuff done on my own’ and doesn’t want to step on it. He merely wants to feel included in her life. He wants to get her things that will remind her of him when he’s away. He wants to be in every corner of her life, as he wants her to be in every corner of his life. Idk if I am articulating this well but this is a dynamic I really fkn DIG.

A Fic Writer’s Guide to Cold Weather Whump

Maybe you got “Hypothermia” on your hurt/comfort bingo square. Maybe you want an excuse for your OTP to cuddle together for warmth. For whatever reason, you’re writing a fic where the cold is the enemy for your characters. But... maybe you aren’t especially familiar with the perils of cold weather.

I rambled a lot about hiding tracks in snow in this post and got some feedback from folks who had never encountered snow, which made me realize that this guide might be handy for writers who live in warm climates!

(Please note that I am not a professional and this information is presented for writing purposes, not actual medical or survival advice)

What Are We Dealing With - Exposure Conditions

The two biggest dangers for characters stuck out in the cold are Hypothermia and Frostbite.

HYPOTHERMIA -- the condition of dangerously low body temperature. Normal body temperature is around 98.6 F (37 C). Hypothermia occurs as your body temperature falls below 95 F (35 C). Usually hypothermia is a danger in freezing temperatures, but it’s possible to get it in the 30-50ºF range if you’re wet or not dressed properly for an extended period of time. Basically, any time your body loses heat faster than it produces it, hypothermia can happen.

Three main ways to lose body heat (apart from regular heat loss through radiation) are:

Direct Contact with something cold -- A character chained to a cold stone wall, or a block of ice, for instance. If you’re in contact with something that is very good at conducting your body heat away from you, rather than insulating, you’ll chill down faster. (Important for characters with cybernetics or metal limbs! Lookin’ at you, Winter Soldier...)

Water/Moisture -- a character taking a dunk in ice water, even for a matter of seconds, is in a serious situation. You can freeze to death very fast in cold water, and even if you’re just wet, moisture conducts heat away from the body. Clothes made of cotton that are wet from snow (cotton is the enemy in winter!) or damp from sweat are also going to contribute to heat loss; a character that’s been sweating from exertion will get chilled quickly once they stop moving.

Wind -- Wind whisks warmth away from your body, cooling you down faster. In cold climates, you often have a weather forecast that includes windchill. This is because, even if the ambient temperature is, say, 25ºF, with 25 MPH wind, you could lose body heat as fast as if you were standing in an ambient temperature of 9ºF (this would be a windchill of 9ºF).

So your character locked in a walk-in freezer will lose heat through radiation, but it will take them longer to become hypothermic than say, a character who fell through the ice of a frozen lake, or a character wandering through a snowstorm with no coat -- even if the actual temperature is the same in the freezer, the water, and the snowstorm.

Other risk factors for hypothermia include age (young children and the elderly may fall victim to hypothermia faster), exhaustion, malnutrition, and alcohol (booze makes you feel warm, but it also makes your blood vessels expand so you lose heat faster!).

So, what happens when you’re hypothermic?

Symptoms of mild hypothermia (core temperature of 95ºF) include shivering, and rapid pulse and breathing, minor clumsiness. Your character may also start to experience low blood sugar, exacerbating other symptoms as they develop.

As your character gets colder, moderate hypothermia symptoms may include confusion, slurred speech, and loss of coordination. At a core temperature of 91ºF (33ºC), amnesia/memory loss can happen.

No longer shivering, and decreased heartrate, pulse, and blood pressure are signs of severe hypothermia. Reflexes may no longer be present, eyes are dilated, person is incoherent/irrational, and hallucinations can happen. At 82ºF (28ºC) a person will likely lose consciousness, and can expect a heartrate of 30 beats per minute.

Below 70ºF (21ºC), profound hypothermia occurs, and potentially death. (The record for the lowest body temperature at which an adult has been known to survive is 56.7ºF (13.7ºC))

In moderate-to-severe hypothermia, paradoxical undressing can happen -- this when someone abruptly feels warm and starts to pull their clothes off, often speeding up the process of hypothermia to a fatal conclusion. Another strange behavior that happens in severe hypothermia is terminal burrowing -- a primitive, instinctual urge to find and curl up in an enclosed space like a hibernating animal in some last-ditch effort to survive.

A severely hypothermic character may appear dead. They may be rigid, blue, and curled up in a fetal position. Another character can determine if they’re alive by trying to open their arm up from the fetal position; if it curls back up, the person is alive. Dead muscles won’t contract!

Because hypothermia inhibits brain function and causes confusion, people with hypothermia often don’t realize they’re hypothermic, and then proceed to have poor judgement, further endangering themselves. If you think that REALLY STUPID decision to go back out in the blizzard is out of character for your protagonist -- not when they’re hypothermic, it’s not!

But cold weather danger doesn’t stop with hypothermia. When you’re cold, your body will prioritize keeping your brain and your core warm by shutting off circulation to your extremities. This increases your chances of survival, but it also puts you at greater risk of:

FROSTBITE -- tissue damage caused by extreme cold, either from the formation of ice crystals within tissue or loss of circulation. Frostbite typically affects fingers and toes, though it can also affect ears and the tip of one’s nose.

Frostbite is a risk when a character is exposed to severe cold for a long period of time, when a character is out in the elements and there’s cold plus wind, or if they’re at high altitude. If you’re committed to realism but don’t wanna have to write your characters dealing with frostbite, consider giving them adequate gloves and boots!

First degree frostbite, or frostnip, is a mild condition that is reversible without lasting damage. When you have frostnip, your skin turns white or red and cold to the touch, and may begin to feel numb or experience a prickling sensation. It hurts like a bitch on rewarming (you might have some swelling and redness for a while), but it should be fine within a few hours, as long as there’s no further exposure. It’s possible to experience peeling, such as with a sunburn, in the following weeks. If your character is out in extreme cold that they aren’t dressed properly for, frostnip at the very least is likely (I’ve gotten it just from trying to dig my car out of the snow with bare hands for 10 minutes on a really cold day).

Second degree frostbite, or superficial frostbite is more serious. Skin might start to change color, turning red, or very pale and waxy, or even blue-ish. The area might be hard to the touch and swollen, indicating the formation of ice crystals in the skin (you know how your body is 70% water? Guess what water does when it gets real cold!). Rewarming is painful, and will result in some really nasty fluid-filled blisters, which are at risk for infection. You can recover fully from superficial frostbite, though it’s also possible that the affected area may have enduring cold sensitivity, pain or numbness.

Third/fourth degree frostbite, or deep frostbite, is when we start losing body parts. At this stage, not only is the skin affected, but also the underlying tissues. Skin will look blue-ish and mottled, the affected area will likely be numb and not move properly. This is when tissue death and permanent damage happens. On rewarming, there’s a risk of blood clots, and the frozen area will be black and hard and may require eventual amputation. Severely damaged/dead tissue may fall off on its own (auto-amputation) within a couple months.

Frostbite is treated with rewarming, but only start rewarming if the tissue won’t be refrozen again! More on treatment below.

(Side note: if you ever find yourself with either second or third degree frostbite, please seek medical attention immediately!)

Cold and Other Injuries & Illnesses

What if your character is already hurt before they wind up in a winter not-so-wonderland?

Well, hypothermia is a pretty big deal for trauma patients, and adding hypothermia on top of a serious injury reduces survival rates significantly. Part of this is due to the double-whammy that the body’s vascular system is now enduring, with stress from injury & blood loss as well as from cold. Another part of it is that hypothermia can impair clotting mechanisms, leading to more internal bleeding. A character who has suffered from physical trauma is also more likely to develop hypothermia before an uninjured character, as shock impedes the body’s ability to control temperature.

The stress of cold on the body can also exacerbate sickness. Frostbite and hypothermia weaken the body and its immune system, so a character already dealing with illness or infection will likely get worse, even if the cold itself isn’t going to make them ill outside of hypothermia. (Being chilly isn’t going to spontaneously give you pneumonia).

Surviving in the Cold - Staying Warm & Alive

So the temperature is getting pretty cold. What should your characters do?

If they’re prepared, they should be wearing layers of appropriate warm clothing and have plenty of gear. But since we’re talking about fic and we’re all here for the drama, let’s just assume these idiots are unprepared and are therefor gonna be having a bad time.

If they’re outside in the elements, their priority should be finding shelter. They want someplace ideally warm, dry, and out of the wind -- though I’d recommend starting with out of the wind above all else. If they’re in the wilderness and there’s no convenient abandoned cabins, a natural cave, or a pine tree with lots of low, thick branches might form a shelter. If it’s snowing, they can also build a snow cave or snow shelter -- fresh snow is actually a really good insulator, and while a snow cave isn’t exactly toasty, it’s a lot better than being out in the wind!

Once shelter is achieved, your characters will probably want to make a fire, if possible, to warm up by. However, if there’s nothing dry and flammable around, a fire might not be possible, and if bad guys are chasing them, either the light or smoke from a fire might give away their position (though if they need rescue, that might be a good thing!)

If your characters aren’t in the wilderness, they’ll still want to look for shelter that’s out of the wind if they’re outdoors, and any possible means of insulating body heat. Layering as much as possible is good -- if they don’t have enough layers of clothes, they can layer newspaper or plastic bags between what clothes they have to create extra insulation. Plastic is a good insulator, and also protects them from getting wet (though they wanna be careful about wrapping too much of themselves in plastic in case they start to sweat -- that’s also dangerous!). I’ve definitely worn plastic bags as liners inside my boots to protect and insulate my feet in winter. If your characters need to sleep in the cold, finding some insulation between their bodies and the cold ground will help them.

Your characters are also going to have to worry about food and drink. The human body uses up a LOT of energy trying to stay warm, so your characters may be suffering from low blood sugar on top of everything else. Dehydration is also a concern. Melting snow is an easy enough source of water, but you’ll want to have them melt it before drinking, instead of just eating snow. Eating snow chills you from the inside and uses up valuable energy!

Warming Your Characters Up - Treatment

Once your poor frozen darlings are out of the elements, they’re gonna wanna warm up!

If your characters are in wet clothes, they’re going to want to get out of those -- if possible -- to dry them off. Wet clothes -- especially cotton -- leech away precious body heat. (If your face just lit up at the idea of getting your characters nekkid, my friend, it gets better!)

Getting a hypothermic character out of the cold is step one, but warming them up is step two. Placing them somewhere warm and dry and wrapping them with blankets to trap their own meager body heat against them will help -- google “how to make a hypothermia wrap” for directions on how to turn your character into a toasty blanket burrito. If their own body is seriously chilled, adding external warmth might be needed (note: warmth, not heat. Too much direct, intense heat can cause a shock to the system! Hot baths are a BIG NO) --

If they have access to warm hot compresses/chemical heat packs, placing those in the groin, neck and chest areas will help rewarm a person.

Consider giving one of your characters a metal canteen or water bottle -- they’ll be able to fill this with snow and then stick it in their fire to melt the snow and warm it for drinking and a source of heat they can hold to their body. Sipping warm water will help them warm up internally!

In absence of other options: NAKED CUDDLING. Another person’s direct body heat via skin-to-skin contact will help warm up your character (and makes for great UST).

If your characters have been hospitalized and have severe hypothermia, they may be treated with blood rewarming (pumping the blood out of the body, warming it up, and pumping it right back in) or warm intravenous fluids.

Hypothermic characters should also be kept awake, if possible, until safely warmed. Feeding them is also going to help! Give them calories to burn, and hydrate them up!

If they are severely-to-profoundly hypothermic and are struggling with their breathing, rescue breathing timed with the hypothermic person’s breathing can provide supplemental oxygen and, more importantly, heated air going directly into the person’s body core (rather then the cold environmental air).

For characters with frostbite -- there’s the temptation to have them rub warmth back into their extremities since we seek heat from friction, but they may damage themselves further this way. Rubbing a frostbite-affected area will cause additional injury. The best way to warm frostbitten skin is with lukewarm water, though you can also warm frostbitten fingers by tucking them into your armpits to warm them with your own core body heat, or blowing warm breath on them. Intense direct heat from heating pads or a fire are NOT a great idea. Since the tissue is numb, frostbitten patients may experience burns from direct heat sources without realizing.

If your character is frostbitten badly enough to have blisters, they will want to loosely and gently bandage the affected area if possible.

Frostbitten skin should only be rewarmed if there’s no risk of refreezing, since freezing and thawing repeatedly is gonna really hurt your character (or, I dunno, maybe that’s part of your whump plan, in which case -- go for it!!)

Obviously, you can write your whumpfic as realistically or as unrealistically as you damn well please, and you can choose to have your characters make bad choices that go against conventional wisdom and medical recommendations. This guide mainly provides suggestions if you wanna incorporate realistic details one way or another, but ultimately, it’s your story to tell however you want. Have fun, and stay warm!

Star Trek DS9 Rewatch Log, Stardate 1906.13: Missions Reviewed, “Crossover,” “The Collaborator,” “Tribunal,” and “The Jem’Hadar.”

Kira and Bashir are coming back through the wormhole when their runabout’s warp engine malfunctions. After a harrowing passage, they emerge into the Alpha Quadrant to find DS9 is still in orbit around Bajor.

They are immediately captured by a Klingon ship, but those warriors take one look at Kira and fumble over themselves trying to please her. Bashir has studied century old logs however and has an inkling as to what has happened. They have crossed into what a century before James Kirk called the “Mirror Universe.” His influence on mirror Spock was initially good and the Terran Empire became benign…only to be conquered by an alliance between the Klingons and Cardassians. Now Terrans are slaves or somehow beholden to the alliance. Kira finds her counterpart—The Intendant—is basically in charge of DS9 and Bajor…and may be insane with power.

She employs Mirror Sisko as a boytoy and pirate, but he resents it. Bashir gets mirror O’Brien to help them and a little human slave revolt provides enough of a distraction for Kira and Bashir to make it back into the wormhole to find their way back to their own universe.

Nana Visitor is eating this one up. Not only does she get to sport a rubber outfit, she is definitely at TOS levels of villainy as The Intendant. Though, at some point, some director had her walk away in that outfit just to have a character call her back…so she could walk away again. Gulp. This episode is really the best of the DS9 MU episodes, as they get a little less credible with each one. Of course, “Enterprise” will go to that well (though they do it rather exceptionally well managing a sequel to both “Mirror, Mirror” and “The Tholian Web) and the MU plays a huge role in the first season of “Discovery,” which I will try not to spoil, but trust me it’s worth your time. Although Orci and Kurtzman who wrote the first two Kelvin Timeline movies cite the TNG episode “Parallels” as the basis for their alternate timeline, let’s look at the MU. Whatever differences happened in the past the separated it from Prime, there is still a Starship Enterprise commanded by Kirk; still an NX-01 with an Archer. Still a Terok Nor with Kira. History WANTS to happen a certain way in the Star Trek multiverse, and yes “Parallels” gives us 180,000 examples of how similar but different those timelines can be, it all goes back for me to the MU. One day though I will have to share my theory that “The Prime Timeline” is at least five different alternate realities.

“The Collaborator” has Bajor finally preparing to elect a new Kai since Opaka stayed in the Gamma Quadrant back in S1. Vedek Bareil, Kira’s boyfriend now, is about a shoe in, but Kai Winn arranges for a Bajoran collaborator to return from Cardassian exile.

He brings evidence that during the Occupation, Bareil provided information to the Cardassians as to the location of a resistance cell of which Kai Opaka’s son was part; they were massacred. Winn gets Kira to investigate, and she indeed finds that Bareil erased the data. When he finds out she knows, he pulls his name out of the running for Kai, and indeed Winn is elected. Afterward, Kira discovers more evidence proving Bareil couldn’t have been the collaborator. Indeed, he was not. He covered up the fact Opaka herself had provided the information, including the location of her son, to save the 1000 people who lived in the area the Cardassians were going to exterminate to stop this cell. Winn is now Kai, but Bareil could not let Opaka’s memory be tarnished.

This is a solid episode that does what one would not expect- allows Louise Fletcher’s Winn to become the Bajoran Pope. Setting up years of follow on conflict, it’s a hard story to take, but dramatically wonderful. Along with all that, there is a scene where Kira admits to Odo that she loves Bareil. Odo is visibly hurt by this, but quickly covers it up. Apparently this was improvisation on Rene Auberjonois’ part, which the writers immediately set upon. Good for them; Kira/Odo is my OTP (look it up, old folks).

This season has TWO “let’s screw with O’Brien” episodes apparently, as “The Tribunal” has O’Brien trying to take a vacation, only to be detained by the Cardassians and put on a public trial.

Of course in Cardassian court, the trial is just to demonstrate the State’s case, as you have already been convicted and sentenced, and you are ALWAYS guilty. O’Brien is given a lawyer, whose only job as the defense is to get O’Brien to confess faster and show remorse so “the people” can take pride in justice done when the execution happens. Odo manages to use his old status as an officer of the Cardassian courts to intervene, but it is when Sisko finds O’Brien was framed by a Cardassian deep cover spy the Chief is publically granted clemency, the Cardassian plot uncovered.

Poor Miles. He goes through so much crap. Apparently at one point Ira Steven Behr as showrunner had a card up reading “O’Brien must suffer.” The Kafka-esque trial setting is effective here, and Fritz Weaver as the Defense Attorney who really isn’t is pretty good.

Some nice call backs to the Maquis episodes as well as the crime O’Brien’s accused of is stealing photon warheads to pass to the terrorists…who have no idea what’s going on. Also nice to see Odo is just as cranky in the courtroom as he is on the Promenade.

Season two comes to an end with “The Jem’Hadar.” Sisko is planning a wilderness planet getaway with Jake in the Gamma Quadrant when Jake talks him into bringing Nog. Quark uses that as an opportunity to tag along to try to convince Sisko to let him use the stations comm screens to play commercials (you know, like all the gas pumps do now). While on the planet they find an alien woman on the run from vicious soldiers called the Jem’Hadar.

They are the military force for The Dominion who keep coming up all season. When they go missing, the Jem’Hadar deliver a message to their friends at DS9 to stay out of the Gamma Quadrant…and they have destroyed the colony of New Bajor already. The Federation sends a Galaxy class starship, the Odyssey, to flex its muscle and rescue Sisko and Quark (Nog and Jake have made it back to the Runabout and are trying to fly it when the cavalry arrive). Sisko and Quark escape with the alien Eris, but Quark reveals she could have escaped anytime.

As they are getting away though, the Jem’Hadar destroy the Odyssey with all aboard. Back on DS9, Sisko accuses Eris of being what the soldiers called “The Founders,” but she is a Vorta, the middle management of the Dominion. She does escape, leaving DS9 to realize that there is an advanced, ruthless enemy on the other side of the wormhole, and when they come through, DS9 will be their first target.

Besides finally showing us the Jem’Hadar, Vortas, and letting something happen with The Dominion, this episode has some great interaction between Sisko and Quark. The Ferengi points out how accepting the Federation is, until some race like the Ferengi have values that don’t fall in line. It’s an interesting argument on tolerance, and how accepting the Federation as a liberal democracy really is across the galaxy. I would normally complain that a concept like that deserves its own episode, but DS9 handles this sort of thing regularly enough not to mind the question getting sidelined too much. I tried to remember back to when I first watched this episode, if I had any inkling just what the Dominion would become on this show, or if I had any clue who the Founders were just yet. Though not precisely a cliffhanger, the wolf is at the door by the end of this episode, promising that the foreboding feeling we are left with will only get worse in Season 3.

NEXT VOYAGE: Season 3 kicks off with “The Search” and we get to see just how Defiant the DS9 crew can get!

OC questions meme

so I decided to roll some dice to get random numbers and take some questions from a few oc questions posts because why not. also sorry. some of the answers got kinda long... (answered for Jayde and Nadya)

-In a dungeons and dragons game, which class would your character be?

Nadya would be a ranger. Jayde would probably be a fighter or a rogue.

-Does your character like coffee better, or tea?

For both of them it depends on their mood. I’d say Nadya leans more towards tea and Jayde leans more towards coffee.

-Is your character ticklish?

Nadya is more ticklish than Jayde is. She has a particular spot on her side that’s the most ticklish and Jayde loves to poke her there sometimes. The most ticklish spot on Jayde are the bottoms of her feet, otherwise you have to catch her in the right unguarded mood (which Nadya tries on occasion)

-Has your character ever struck someone in anger?

Jayde? Yes, all the fucking time. Nadya? I’d say she’s capable of it, but someone would really really have to piss her off on a bad day.

-Is your character and optimist or a pessimist?

Nadya is usually an optimist or at the very least she tries to be. With the life that Jayde’s lived she’s prone to pessimism, but Nadya’s optimism occasionally rubs off on her.

-Who steals the covers the most?

No question, its Nadya. Jayde doesn’t mind though cause she rarely gets cold and if Nadya is comfortable then she’s happy.

-Is your character more likely to remove a problem/threat, or remove themselves from a problem/threat?

I don’t think I have to say Jayde is the kind of person to remove a problem/threat rather than herself. Getting rid of problems and threats is kinda what she’s good at. For Nadya she would rather not get violent or forceful if she doesn’t have to. Removing herself from a bad situation is the most peaceful way to end things in her eyes.

-If something tragic or negative happens to your character, do they believe they may have caused or deserved it, or are they quick to blame others?

Jayde has some survivors guilt and is so hard on herself sometimes. If something bad happens she’s the easiest person for her to blame. Nadya is kind of the same way. With how she grew up, she struggles a lot with believing in herself so there’s always that “I could’ve done something more/better” voice in her head.

-How does either member of your otp know they want to have sex/make love?

Being a werewolf makes it pretty easy for Jayde to tell when Nadya is in the mood because she can always sense it. For Nadya it usually isn’t too hard for her to tell. Jayde is always pretty touchy, but when she’s in the mood Jayde gets even more touchy and flashes the “Do me” eyes. Jayde is really good at eye-fucking.

-What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?

Jayde was very close to her parents, her father in particular. He was a very musical person and taught Jayde how to play some instruments and sing (the piano is her favorite). Jayde was very open with her father and talked with him about pretty much everything. Nadya’s relationship with her parents is a little complicated. When she was really young it was good. She went on camping trips with just her and them and had some fun fishing with her dad. As she grew older and grew into herself and realized she was a lesbian, she grew distant from them and lost whatever connection she had. She talks with her father every now and then but it never really gets past small talk.

-Who gets jealous the most?

I’d say Jayde gets jealous the most. Nadya can be a people person and likes talking to everyone and is SUPER nice so sometimes they’ll take that the wrong way and start flirting with her and she can be kinda oblivious to that, but Jayde isn’t. Jayde always notices when someone is flirting with Nadya and she’s super protective so sometimes she has to do the “deep breaths, count backwards from 10…” but Jayde rarely acts out on her jealousy because she doesn’t want to be like one of those possessive douchebags. If the person is being pushy/aggressive towards Nadya then she’ll definitely step in, but if they’re harmless then she’ll just like stare daggers at them and hover a little closer to Nadya.

-Who is more likely to want to have sex in public? Who is afraid of getting caught?

Jayde is pretty okay with some PDA and she certainly isn’t modest, but when it comes to intimate things she prefers to keep that private. It’s not because she’s ashamed or embarrassed, she just thinks of it as its no ones business besides hers and Nadya’s so if they were to get caught in public it would really annoy her. That being said, it isn’t something that’s completely off the table for her. Nadya wouldn’t always want it, but she would occasionally be into the thrill of having sex in a public place. Of course if they were to get caught she would be mortified. Still, doesn’t hurt to live on the edge every once in a while.

-What do they find the most sexy about the other?

Oh man this is a hard question cause they are so into each other it’s like asking them what their favorite candy is when they’re standing in a candy store, how do you choose just one? Also idk if this is asking for physical traits or emotional ones so I’ll do one of each? For Jayde, she really loves how dedicated Nadya can be. If Nadya starts a thing, she will stick with it, give it her all and finish it. And also Jayde finds her really fucking hot when she’s wearing glasses. For Nadya, she really admires just how much Jayde can love people. When Jayde tells someone she loves them, it’s pretty much for forever. With Nadya. With her family and her packmates. Jayde has a huge heart and she doesn’t even know it (A big heart is sexy!! -Nadya). And Nadya loves the abs, the arms, them muscles. Jayde doing pull-ups in a sports bra = Nadya found dead in Miami

-What was the biggest hurdle in their relationship?

This is a BIG question. To summarize: Nadya has a brother, Ruben, who is… not a great person. He abused her growing up and as soon as Nadya tells Jayde this it pretty much signs his death warrant. Even though Nadya is afraid of him more than anything and has nothing but negative feelings towards him, she tells Jayde not to kill him. In fact, she begs her not to kill him. And Jayde just doesn’t understand that and has to try really hard not to be angry with her because she knows that there’s something deeper to her reasoning and the fact that Nadya seemingly can’t come up with a good one.

Eventually some things happen and Jayde does end up killing him. In front of Nadya. Even though Jayde was just itching for an excuse to end Ruben, he didn’t give her much of a choice. Still, it’s a traumatizing event for Nadya and she has a lot of conflicted feelings towards herself and Jayde after. The world will be a better place without Ruben and she can’t deny the relief she feels knowing that he’s gone, but in her mind it was still her brother. Nadya grew up with him. He’s been there for her entire life. All she sees when she looks at Jayde is the image of her killing her brother. Nadya knows that isn’t fair and she hates herself for it and yet she can’t stop feeling that way.

Nadya decides that she needs some time away from Jayde. Jayde is incredibly hurt and frustrated with herself because she doesn’t regret what she did, it needed to be done, but it was something that Nadya asked her not to do and she hates that it happened right in front of her. So, Jayde lets her go. And even though Nadya phrased it as “taking a break” and not a break up, Jayde thinks that this is it for them. That she finally did something that shattered their relationship beyond repair. And it was because of something that Jayde just doesn’t see as wrong.

But after a few weeks Nadya misses Jayde way too much and feels terrible for leaving her so she goes back. The time away did help them. It didn’t completely fix the situation, but they both realize that they want and need each other to forgive, heal and move forward.

-What is the most beautiful thing they’ve ever seen?

Jayde: besides Nadya? Well it’s really hard to compete with her in Jayde’s eyes (sappy disaster bi) but as far as like scenery or something it would probably be the full moon when she turned for the first time. Her parents took her out deep into the wilderness. They hiked for days because there should be nothing to separate you from nature for your first turn. It was a cloudless night and the moon hung above her, full and enormous. Since they were miles and miles from civilization there were billions of visible stars too, more than Jayde has ever seen. It was a sight and a trip that she would never forget.

Nadya: On the last camping trip she went on with her parents, before she left for college, there was a meteor shower. It was the first one she’s ever seen and Nadya loves the stars so it was just amazing to see. Whenever one is happening she tries to go out to see it and take pictures.

#ocs #oc questions #original characters #oc meme #my ocs #listen sometimes a bitch is bored and her ask box has cobwebs in it #gotta find the fun #also woof some of them got kinda deep huh #and long #god bless the keep reading line or some people would hate me lmao #Jayde #Nadya

caleb x sav for the memes

who in your otp:

drives when they go on road trips? do they switch at the halfway point? does one drive there and the other drive back?

caleb drives!! even if sav ever got her license i doubt she would ever drive. especially not caleb’s car since that’s the 2nd love of his life.

looks over the menu for fifteen minutes before ordering the same thing they order EVERYWHERE they go? does the other half of your ship get annoyed by this, or do they find it endearing?

savannah prob orders the same thing. im sure she and caleb talk about the fact that like ‘oh maybe you should get something healthier?? with a little bit more sustenance??’ then at the last minute she’s prob like ‘NAH ill take the cheeseburger, cheese fries and milkshake pls’ which idk if would necessarily annoy him per say but he would def roll his eyes and be concerned even more for her health :/

is more likely to get arrested?

caleb. probably for fighting tbh.

is afraid of rollercoasters? does the other half of your ship try and convince them to face the fear, or do they take a softer approach and not push them at all?

i don’t think either of them are afraid of rollercoasters?

shows up at home with a dog unannounced despite the fact they’ve already got three/four/however many pets?

sav! once they get one you know… it’s probably gonna open the door for ten more hahaha she’ll get help from the neighbor lady taking care of them all

demands that they do date night? does the other person complain or do they go with it just to see the excited look on their partners face?

savannah demands them since she’s always like?? tried to get caleb to take her out. but obviously she becomes more okay with the fact that it doesn’t need to be anything fancy. just them getting out of the apartment and what not. when caleb’s feeling particularly romantic (if ever) he would pull out some stops just to see the look on sav’s face knowing she def wouldn’t expect it

is the clumsy one whose always tripping up flights of stairs or over their own feet? does it stress the other half of your ship out or do they find it hilarious?

sav would fall more than caleb?? he prob laughs @ her tbh bc i def would too

picks the music when they’re in the car? does the other complain about their taste in music?

caleb probably tries because he says he is the driver??? but that doesn’t stop savannah from trying to change it because she is 100% not about the type of music caleb is

insists on paying for everything when they’re out? do they fight about it?

caleb because his momma taught him well. savannah likely wouldn’t fight him about it either? only maybe if she knew he was tight on money and even then it would prob be a long shot that she would ever have more money than him bc lbr she spends hers on stupid shit

is the one to quietly suggest they get high together for the first time? how does the other half of your ship react?

shitttt i don’t think this would happen in regular verse bc sav wouldn’t want to tempt caleb like that knowing his past? but i can see trashbag au caleb maybe trying to get sav to do shit with him. which she might….at least try it?? but obvs this would be before he like REALLY spiraled because otherwise she’s trying to get him off drugs

is secretly terrified of horror movies and yet watches them all the time bc its something the other half of your ship loves?

neither of them are necessarily terrified of them but sav will watch them because it gives her an excuse to snuggle up to caleb more

talks in their sleep? does their partner record it and call them out, or not tell them and keep it as a secret so they can keep enjoying it?

caleb probably talks in his sleep. and sav would def record it lol. she’s not good with secrets tho so it prob wouldn’t last long

brings up the conversation of marriage + babies? how does the conversation go?

caleb ofc is the one to bring it up lol. the first time it happens… prob doesnt go over well. cause sav is like ‘lol no’ but i think the longer they are together, the easier the convo would be the more it is brought up. once theyve got more stability in their lives and are actually in a decent place to get married and start a family

has to pull the other back by their back of their sweater when they try and do something stupid in public?

i think they both do this sometimes. especially when it comes to the other person?? like even if they don’t want to admit it they both get pretty jealous fairly easily which makes them both confrontational af

is more likely to pick the other up from the airport with an obnoxiously large cardboard sign? what does the sign say?

caleb would be the one to pick sav up from the airport but i def don’t see him doing this lmao. flowers? yes but not a sign that draws a lot of attention to him. i can see him and sav doing this tho when they are both together in boston and darren comes to visit bc sav would have no problem writing obnoxious shit on a sign and holding it up in public for all to see

tries to cook a meal and accidentally almost burns the house down?

savannah of course. caleb is more domesticated than her

deliberately makes a squeaky chair squeak until the other person flips out?

sav when she wants to get caleb’s attention hahaha. prob does shit like this all the time in an effort to basically say ‘PAY ATTENTION TO ME’ without actually saying it

falls asleep no matter what position they’re in + needs to be carried to bed?

they are both probably so exhausted all the time because their sleep schedules are t e r r i b l e that i’m sure either of them can fall asleep in pretty uncomfortable positions? and they’d both probably just stay there rather than carry one another to the bed

is the little spoon when they cuddle?

savannah ofc

hates thunderstorms and needs to be comforted for the duration?

caleb likes them, savannah doesn’t necessarily hate them but she prefers sunshine??? but i’m sure she likes the fact that they make A+ cuddling weather

brings the other breakfast in bed? is it a proper cooked breakfast - or just an old muffin?

caleb prob leaves breakfast for savannah to eat when she wakes up. prob not proper though. maybe a granola bar or a banana to try and get her to eat healthier.

convinces the other to go on a hike? do they love it, or are they absolutely miserable?

caleb convinces sav and she 10/10 doesn’t like it lol. she’s too city to enjoy time outside in the wilderness

can never admit they’re wrong?

omgggg both of them the stubborn assholes

lets the dog sleep on the bed when the other isn’t paying attention?

def savannah. caleb would prob say he doesn’t want the dog on the bed bc of fur and stuff?? but i bet you when sav isn’t paying attention he’s prob cuddling with the dog too lol

uses emojis in replace of words? does it drive the other person insane?

sav would do this to caleb because i think he is Too Cool for emojis lmao. and yes it prob drives him insane bc he has no fuckin clue what she’s talking about

who decorates their house? does the other come home and blink at all the pastel pink and force a smile despite how much they hate it?

probably joint effort, but sav more than caleb. he probably wants to keep things pretty minimal, but sav wants things more cozy. but never in her life would she paint anything pastel pink so i think theyre ok.

is more likely to get into a fight to defend the other?

both of them. but i think caleb would need to defend savannah more.

is constantly spewing random facts about absolutely anything and everything? does it annoy the other person or do they find it all interesting?

savannah bc u know she absorbs all the questions/answers from trivia night at the bar and is pretty keen on telling everyone and anyone who will listen about all the shit she learns

is the lovey dovey drunk?

ew savannah lmao she turns into clingy ass bitch for sure

laughs at their own jokes? does the other laugh at the joke… or at their partner?

caleb prob and he is def gonna be That Dad with all the dad jokes too when they have kids. i’m sure sav laughs at both.

is competitive about EVERYTHING?

obvs both of them

apologizes first when they have a fight?

i wanna say sav bc she hates when caleb is mad at her lol even when she isn’t in the wrong prob :/

makes the other a flower crown? does the other wear it without complaint or beg not to be embarrassed?

neither they are not this type of couple @ all

is more likely to put their fist through a wall when they’re angry?

caleb!!!! which he’s done a hundred times already i’m sure

sends the other memes despite the fact they’re laying in bed next to each other?

savannah. probably when he is reading important shit for work and school and she’s forcing herself to stay awake just cause he is. so that’s how she entertains herself and distracts the hell out of him

wears the others clothes the most?

sav wears caleb’s bc otherwise that’d be weird

pranks the other on a near constant basis? how does the other react?

they both prank darren :))))

comes up with obnoxiously sappy pet names for the other just to watch them roll their eyes?

they prob both do this jokingly like?? to see who can come up with the worst ones

forgets their anniversary?

caleb does in the trashbag au FOR SUREEE and it basically breaks sav’s heart into a trillion pieces !!!

is impulsive and makes big choices for them without stopping to think through what it all means?

savannah lmao everything she does is based on impulse

writes cute messages for the other on the bathroom mirror when they have a shower?

sav

has to do the dishes because the other gags any time they stick their hands in the water?

neither of them like doing dishes but for a different reason?? so they prob take turns so it’s fair

jumps into the pool without testing the temperature, and who dips their toes in first?

sav would jump in and caleb would dip his toes in first i think?

tries to kill bugs in the house… and which one stops them and gets the bug out of the house alive and well?

caleb kills the bugs bc savannah hates them. so in the end all the bugs die lmao

can speak a second/third/forth language and uses it to annoy the other when they’re fighting?

caleb would know more of a second language than sav but i don’t think he would use it to annoy her?? idk if he would even remember much of what he learned tbh

says i love you first? does the other immediately say it back?

sav probably. the first time i don’t think caleb would (since they still havent said it yet…. i hate us, mainly me for suckin but u get it) then after the first time i think he would be more inclined to say it back immediately

wins when they arm wrestle?

caleb by a long shot. sav is wimpy

gets caught singing some old, corny one direction song to themselves?

savannah!! but ofc old school tay swift is always gonna be her fave

is forever forcing the other to take selfies with them? does the other person complain every time?

jesus savannah does this soooooooo much and obvs caleb complains lol but does it anyway

shows up at the others house with chinese food + a six pack of beer when they’re having a bad day?

caleb would do this but not necessarily when either of them were having a bad day? this is just a regular thing for them

sends the cheesy good morning/night texts?

maybe both of them. sav’s would be more sappy tho.

can never admit that they were wrong?

also, both

suggests they send out a christmas card together? does the other go for it, or question when they turned into old people?

savannah does but caleb has ptsd from matching sweaters with his family so he probably is against it

is a morning person and who pulls the covers up over their head and begs for five more minutes?

caleb is more of a morning person than sav bc school and his job but in reality neither of them technically are? because they would both stay under the covers all day if they could

is constantly insisting they won’t need a jacket before they go out… and then has to steal the others when they get cold?

savannah lol esp if a jacket clashes her outfit

is a smoker and has to deal with the other forever showing them gross photos to try and convince them to quit?

holds all the important documents when they’re travelling? why?

caleb because savannah would def lose them

hates flying? how does the other help them relax before/during/after a flight?

savannah doesnt like it initially so caleb would help her through it but i feel like after she goes to boston a couple of times by herself she gets used to it?

is more likely to suggest a lil fool around in the bathrooms at a club? how does the other react?

savannah probably suggests it, but caleb isnt against it

plans a night of boardgames for date night, and who plans a romantic dinner at a fancy restaurant?

neither of them are board game ppl?? and i think they say the fancy dinners for anniversaries so

cries watching the news?

neither!!

teases the other one for having a crush on them… despite the fact they’ve been dating for a year?

they have so many i can’t think of any right now bc i suck!!!!

do their families approve of the relationship? why/why not?

no lololol caleb’s parents are not sav’s biggest fans

whose friends do they hang out with more?

caleb’s probably because they are better influences and don’t just wanna go bar hopping/clubbing and use drugs

what do they do on their first date? did they have a first date, or did they just sort of… start dating?

they had a “real” first date loooong after they were seeing each other on the regular

what is their favorite way to spend the holidays? do they go to one of their families houses? or do they create their own tradition by staying in bed listening to christmas music and getting drunk?

probably doing anything just with each other?? im sure they avoid family shit at all costs bc i’m sure it usually comes with a bunch of drama. so they would be happy staying in bed listening to christmas music and getting drunk

what do they name their dog? do the give it a super boring name like allen - or do they name it something like bubblegum princess?

idk but they def need a dog!!! it won’t have a name like bubblegum princess tho that’s for sure

how do they handle emergencies? does one of them crack under the pressure - or do they bicker because they both need to be in control?

savannah probably panics. caleb is more levelheaded under pressure so i’m sure he’d figure out how to handle it

how did they meet? were they immediately drawn to each other?

caleb became her drug dealer once he got his lil bro out of the game!!! in an abandoned gas station parking lot (so romantic) and sav was like suuuper into caleb and he was prob like ‘ya she cute’ but savannah was totes hearteyes from the beginning and would have banged him right then and there if the opportunity presented itself

what do they fight about the most? how do they resolve their fights?

drugs? money? other people???? probably by screaming @ each other lmao :/ sometimes caleb leaves which ends the fight. sometimes they just have angry sex.

#shehasnoears #long post #ship: savannah & caleb #i underestimated how many questions there were lmao

newton

your starlight shakes me up

you’re the strength that wakes me up from being down

your charm that pulls me without being able to resist

you’re more like a star than an actual star

it’s because of your twinkling eyes

i think it’s because of you when i see the starlight

you’re like gravity

i can’t fall asleep at the thought of you

even my dreams are all filled with you

you’re the only star on earth

this feeling is the best

shine forever

gravity

with just one look

love came

i met a new universe that is you

we’re sharing greetings of ecstasy

your body filled me up with warmth

even if it gets dark, even if i get lost, it’s you

your light wakes me up

i’m so curious about your world

even time is waiting for us

i’ve entered your new universe with body movements that only we know

just like that i miss you

shine forever

there’s nothing that shines brighter than you

i’m fascinated by the bright light of your beauty

shine more so i can keep looking at you

i’m not satisfied with just once

smile for me again just like that

i wanna fill up the empty spaces with you

every moment you’re here is a highlight

i’ll be by your side now so you won’t be alone

i’ll take your warm light

my bright angel

put on your wings and fly over to me

i’ll risk my everything to run to you

the clan pt. 2.5 — “beautiful”

i’ll be there

will you stay right there?

this place without you is a seat full of thorns

now, it’s not just a dream

you’re like the blue moon that reflects on the ocean

i like you, what about you?

they say love is hard

without you, my direction is no ways

even if there’s no way, let’s make it together

i’ll only make you walk on flower paths

even if you are shy about being mine, it’s alright

my lady, there are days that i will make you laugh

i’m thankful for you

5:14 (last page)

we gotta slow it down

remember this moment

if our story was a book what would the ending be like?

we’ll probably have a not so typical happy ending

sometimes sad, sometimes painful

we’ll probably fall asleep together always

we’re dreaming the same dream

this is happiness

even if you’re not in front of me, i can feel your warmth

calm down

oh who can dare to deny you?

you flip me inside out

i’ve been robbed

fell for your explosive charms

my goal is only you

it hurts but my love is like a flower

i’m afraid i’ll lose the beautiful you

you completely stole my heart

naturally, you’ve taken over me

trust me and follow me

now give yourself to me

i can’t take my eyes off of you

all i do

from the moment i saw you my head was black out

inside that darkness only you shine

your eyes that look at me are like black hole

it’s so dangerous

can’t even compare you with any other girl

i close my eyes but i can clearly see you

i’m only thinking about you all day, my baby

wherever you are, the spotlight only follows you

miss you

we need time

trapped in a maze of emotions

you’re just comforting me

let’s push back saying that it’s the end

where are you right now?

when i miss you it hurts

how could you leave me baby?

now the stars in the sky are like you

you shined on me and was warm like the sun

i can’t see you, where did you go?

i’m acting crazy, looking for you

tell me where you are my lady

i’m sorry, i only treated you selfishly

your heart is like an unknown wilderness

please hold my hand and help me get up

time that has passed can’t be caught again

life is short, you don’t know what’s gonna happen

just for a day

i got fuel for the night

we’re still young

as if it’ll last forever

scream louder, get wild

make it happen

need u

i need you

i only want you

i can’t if it’s not you

i won’t ever make you cry

please come into my arms now

you’re not ordinary

there’s no girl like you

you’re the only one that i want

other people are meaningless to me

wherever i look, you’re so beautiful

come to me, accept me

i want you, you’re my precious

i don’t have to breathe so hug me tight

i’ll go to you first

inconparable

you’re too pretty to be human

you’re bringing it out of me, i’m shy

maybe i’m trembling because i fell in love

don’t laugh baby, i’m going crazy

my heartbeat has stopped

give yourself to me, i want to shout

i’ll break down the wall between us

i keep dreaming about your breathtaking image

i wanna confess

i can’t go on without you

i’m still dreaming alone

you’re a wall that’s hard to climb over

ready or not

are you ready or not

there’s no preview, just go

show me yourself, ready or not

it’s your choice

don’t ever be scared, just do it

if you wanna choose your own future

life is a drama, the star is you

do whatever you want like it’s your birthday

light a fire

your reason and youth will never grow old

beautiful

why is it you? i’m going crazy

what is this? i think i’ve fallen for you

i know you have thorns but i want you, red rose

because of the thorns a beautiful rose can bloom

dark red flowers, it means i love you

even if i bleed everywhere, i wanna know you

when you touch me, my entire body reacts

i can only live if you’re here

every day, every night, i can feel you

you’re so beautiful i can’t take my eyes off you

like a thorn on a flower

i know i’ll get pricked but i want you

too beautiful to handle

you make me say words of awe

you take away my right mind

i think i’ll go crazy

when i smell your scent it spreads, it grows

don’t give out secret looks

don’t smile at me

my head says no but my heart says

i know i can’t ever have you

i know you’re more beautiful when i only look

i’ll protect you, so you can bloom more beautifully

i don’t care if i get hurt

rush

gone bad

you’re gonna be knocked out

let’s see how well you’re doing

so i don’t need your half-assed comfort

we’ve talked about this several times

my answer’s always the same

what do you want me to say?

i showed you my heart

your smile is like bait

only for today

broken heart

you probably erased me now

you won’t be hung up on the past

in my memories it’s still only your face that whispered to me

i can’t do this anymore

if only i could erase you

if only i could forget you

i don’t need any sweet love songs

take all that is yours that isn’t mine and leave right away

my heart feels suffocated and dark

all the songs i wrote as i thought of you are groundless now

the precious times to be in love with you

as i’m holding on, not able to forget a single moment you used to whisper to me

you keep getting farther away

i can’t get closer to you anymore

i have to erase you now

though i don’t want to acknowledge it i don’t think i’ve forgotten you yet

i can hear the sound of love in my ears

you keep flickering before my eyes

if only i could turn back time to when it used to be “us”

perfect girl

no matter how much i look, you’re so unrealistic

everything about you is so beautiful

i’m imagining you walking over to me

i’m running out of breath ‘cause you’re so perfect

i can’t forget, i wanna go back to that day

wait a minute girl, let’s take it slower

you know i’ve fallen so deeply for you

i want your lips to touch mine

i just wanna open my eyes with you

amen

before the day is over i want you to be in my arms

i want you more than anyone else

every day, i want you to be my girl

my pounding heart beats for you

when they see your pretty eyes how can nothing happen?

at least once a day, i think of your smile

i don’t think i can find a girl like you anywhere else

when i think of you, my heart trembles

there is no other girl who is prettier than you

hero

i can be your hero

i can be your man

as i watched over you all day i discovered just one problem

i have the duty to protect you

you’re so beautiful that i have many enemies

it’s like playing a game to protect the princess

rush

come to me, quickly, like it suddenly rained

girl you’re so pretty, that’s the error

when you put your hair down it’s dangerous

i think i’m crazy, what do i do

1 minute feels like 1 second, am i rushing?

you want this too

other guys can only try to take a taste

don’t think too hard, follow your heart

don’t hesitate, just take the next step

the other kids don’t even know your style

you’ll have no time to be bored

tresspass

it’s clear your heart will pound

i’m here because you were too lost

the start was a bit rough

look carefully, see how i will mess up your heart

i’m different from those pretty boys over there

my love knows no manners, excuse my charisma

i think it’s time you stop wandering

i don’t even need a key to open you

you think it’s enough? if not me, then who?

no exit

you’re just mine

stop pretending to be cool

there’s no exit here

hurry and follow me

trust yourself with me

the dream is about me becoming your lover

i turned on a light in your heart

i’m your emergency exit

all the guys you’ve met are not as good as they seem

throw away those tickling methods of love

if this is love and war, i’ll show you no mercy

one love

i didn’t know love

i want it to be our own time

my heart is only for you,

i can see it all so please stop crying

it’s us two instead of me alone

more than you are mine, i am yours

instead of saying don’t go, i hold onto your hand

honestly

it’s not easy to hide my heart

i’m gonna make you cry for the last time

everything changes like morning becoming night

i’m gonna erase you completely, i’m sorry

i was so happy looking at you all day

i loved you more than anyone else

i wanna turn back time

should i be honest?

i left you all alone when you were so kind

you’re the same as yesterday, only i’m different

i really didn’t know i’d have these feelings

steal your heart

is it weird when you look at us?

no one can stop us, you know this

we never make mistakes, maybe that’s why

there’s no mercy

blue moon

should i forget all the streets that we remember?

i’m already regretting

is it too hard to catch you again?

i still see you above in the sky

don’t wanna say goodbye

i see you saying goodbye and turning around

i can’t let it go because you seemed alright

you’re gonna be the past perfect

i’m sick and tired of this bullshit

we were so passionately in love

the fire of our love is extinguished by your tears

your words that became so difficult

interstellar

my heart gets cold

starting with our dreams, we’re different

every day is a climax

the clan pt. 1 — “lost”

ex girl

i’m your ex-boy, can’t we turn things back?

why am i struggling with our memories?

it wasn’t enough to just call you my girlfriend

i just wanna go back to the past

i know that it’s too late

i know you’ll think i’m ridiculous

i was a fool too

i didn’t know how hard it was for you

i was selfish and i didn’t understand you

i just wanna be with you for one day

all in

i’m all in for you

may i steal your heart?

may i protect that heart?

if i fall several times and get hurt will you accept my surrender?

i’m not playing around, i put my life on the line

i’m all in for you, my body and heart

don’t be scared, i’ll listen to you

stuck

you know that i care about you a lo

when i look at you, feels like i’ll run out of breath

what do i do with you?

i’m curious about everything about you

my eyes are only fixed on you

i close my eyes but i see you

i’m not gonna hesitate anymore

i really made up my mind

hurry and tell me, i’m an impatient guy

girl, stay right next to me so you won’t go anywhere else

i don’t need love i just wanna get you

i’m losing my mind but you’re still bright

i wanna look somewhere else but you steal my eyes

white sugar

my lovely girl don’t look at me like that

i’m getting shy

lovely girl please look at me

don’t fly past me like the soft spring wind

i wanna stay with you and love you

you’re a flower, i’m softly melting at your scent

oh my god what do i do?

my hardened heart is blossoming

that’s how our spring will start

unfair love

i knew from the beginning

there is no answer

there is no exit

you flipped over your heart

not hot but not cold, an ambiguous relationship

we’re nothing

what are you trying to do with me?

stop playing around, i accepted this enough

i wanna be cool and leave but it’s not easy

your face is so mysterious

because of u

i can’t just leave you alone

i wanna hold your hand

and show you the blue sky

i wanna tell everyone that i like you

wherever i go i can only see you

all of me revolves around you

hug me just once

the clan pt. 2 — “guilty”

fighter

if it’s for you i could easily endure anything

watch over me

fight for love

this heat is getting hotter and hotter

out of all the people who are cheering i only need you

the shape of your mouth makes me get up

my goddess brings me victory

be quiet

i hear the goddess entering

i’m flustered, can’t handle it, but i like it

anything about you, i listen

besides you, i can’t hear anything

i wanna hear you from a little closer

what words are needed?

besides her, everyone else be quiet

only show it to me baby

girl, it’s so weird, why are you the only who’s pretty?

blind

i faintly see your silhouette

i can’t hold it in anymore

i wanna rip apart the blinds that cover you

don’t be shy, give off a bright light

i’m awake, drunk with your sunlight

getting heavier with your mysteriousness

why hide yourself? you’re beautiful enough

you keep teasing me

you know how to deal with guys, baby

i’m being swept away by you

i’m curious about what you’re thinking of

i’m so frustrated, do you know that?

play with me

show me your world

girl show me your shine, whow me your light

surrounding you a dazzling light

you make me blind

of course the spotlight will go on the star

girl, you’re worthy of that

it’s alright because it’s you

queen

it’s a scenario i expected but i’m afraid

put your mind off from everything around you

i’m afraid

you’ll disappear like smoke i’m afraid you’ll run away if i approach you

i’ll be your king and baby you’ll be my queen

secretly come to me

you’re my queen

even my instincts can’t ignore you

perfection without a single flaw

queen, a name that can’t be contained in four measures

i’ll give you anything just love me in return

i’ll slowly enter, allow me

white love

i was very lonely actually

you know when you strangely feel empty

i was in a lot of pain

when you can’t sleep for some reason

when i dream, i think of you

i try to erase you but it doesn’t work that well

my heart wants to keep seeing you

i’ve yearned only for you with my pure heart

save me from your trap so i can love and learn

i want to melt you inside of me like white snow

oh baby how long will you leave me alone like this

roller coaster

my heart flutters today for some reason

little things are making me smile

don’t wanna just let this night pass so i’m making a wish

i don’t want these feelings to go away

i can’t believe it, it’s a lie

you’re my ideal type that i’ve only seen in my dreams

what kind of scent will you bewitch me with today?

you bring me up and put me down, drive me crazy

you’re a rollercoaster

did you cast a spell on me?

as soon as i see you, i stop what i’m doing as if i’m bewitched

you bring me up and put me down, bad girl

please leave me alone now
