Summary
"When did you pick up the habit?"
Temari looked down at the cigarette between her fingers as she was leaning against the railing. Yeah, when did she start smoking? Probably the moment she left him standing in the middle of his apartment without looking back, tears running down her face. She vaguely remembered the emotional distress and the chaos in her head. She doesn't know when she bought her first pack, it just randomly found its way into her life as a mean of calming herself. The first brand she bought were Shikamaru's favorite cigarettes. Heavy and suffocating. The smoke used to envelop her in a bubble and she pretended his hands were around her once again. She smoked to remember him. After a little while, she pretended to smoke to pass time.
"Don't really remember."
Aka Temari spends the last days of year with her friends in her cottage in the mountains, but nothing is the same anymore and they all start wondering if they can still become the people they once used to be.
