This is my first time writing fanfiction, although I read a lot. Please bear with any mistakes I may have made. I accept all reviews and I appreciate constructive criticism. Thank you all! I hope you guys like it!

Himawari had always liked Inoijin Yamanaka. He was funny, talented and quite good looking too. Over the years, her affection for him had only increased and before she knew it, she had fallen for him. She never had the courage to confess to her brother's best friend, so instead, she took to watching on from the side lines.

Himawari was in her room, daydreaming about Inoijin as usual when her thoughts were interrupted by the doorbell. Her parents were out and so she rushed to check who it was.

"Coming!" she screamed.

As she opened the door, she was greeted by a handsome face, framed with shiny blond hair standing with a stack of books. It was Inoijin!

She was feeling light headed, Inoijin usually had that effect on her. He was his usual smiling self and greeted Himawari. "Good evening, Himawari", he said. Her cheeks were getting redder by the minute as she felt his eyes on her.

"Are you alright? You're face looks red, I think you might be sick" said Inoijin, his voice filled with worry.

"I-I-I'm alright" stuttered Himawari immediately. "Come inside, Inoijin" she said inviting him inside.

Inoijin and Bolt usually studied together in the evenings after which they went to eat ramen at Ichiraku or hung out. Himawari guided Inoijin to Bolt's room. She knocked on her elder brother's door and as she opened the door, she almost went deaf with the music blasting from the speakers.

"What do you want?!" demanded Bolt.

"Inoijin's come over to study" replied Himawari, keeping her calm.

Her 17-year old brother could sometimes get on her nerves. No, he almost always got on her nerves. Inoijin then entered the room, greeting Bolt and suggested that they start with their books. Himawari waited patiently by the door in case her brother needed something. But instead, the door was slammed on her face.

Honestly, he always acted like a little child. But she was used to Bolt being an idiot. So she went back to her room and began working on some schoolwork she had yet to finish. She was so overloaded with work that she didn't hear when a hand gently knocked on her bedroom door 2 hours later.

"Himawari, are you in there?" asked Inoijin.

Himawari rushed to open the door and saw Inoijin and Bolt standing together.

"I still don't get why she has to come with us" grumbled Bolt.

"Himawari, would you like to eat ramen with us?" asked Inoijin kindly after giving Bolt a look that shut him up.

"I would love to! Are we going to Ichiraku?" Himawari asked a little too enthusiastically.

"Yes, we just finished our schoolwork and thought it would be best if we took a break. And Bolt was getting restless", he said, smiling.

Himawari grabbed her coat and walked with her brother and Inoijin to Ichiraku. Ichiraku ramen was the best in all of Konoha, possibly the best ramen she had ever tasted. Her brother, father and she, simply adored the ramen there. And her all-time favorite was miso ramen with extra pork.

They reached Ichiraku and old man Teuchi and his daughter Ayame greeted them all with a smile.

"Three miso ramens with extra pork coming right up!"

Himawari was amazed how he knew them so well. He always knew what they wanted. In fact, her father, Naruto Uzumaki, had been coming to Ichiraku ramen ever since he was a kid. It was always a pleasure to meet Teuchi.

They all took their seats and Inoijin sat beside Himawari. By the time the ramen arrived, their mouths were watering and their tummies grumbling. They all finished their ramen in under 5 minutes.

Just as they were done, Bolt suddenly got up and announced, "I have some important work that I have to take care of right away. Will you please walk Himawari home, Inoijin, pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase?"

"I'd be glad to"

Himawari's face became pink at the thought of walking home with Inoijin all alone without her annoying brother. However, before she could protest, Bolt ran away.

Inoijin looked at her asking her if she was ready to leave. Himawari slowly stood up and they began walking.

As they were walking, both of them spoke up at the same time. Himawari then giggled and gestured to Inoijin to speak first.

"I was thinking and, would you like to hang out sometime tomorrow?" Asked Inoijin.

Himawari didn't really understand what he meant. They hung out all the time, Bolt, Inoijin and her.

"But I don't think Bolt is free tomorrow" she said innocently.

Inoijin opened his mouth, trying to explain and that's when it hit her. INOIJIN was asking her out on a DATE! She blushed uncontrollably and tried to keep her calm demeanor.

"Are you asking me out?" she asked shyly.

"Yes, since we know each other quite well, I was hoping we could take it to the next step." He said, turning almost as red as Himawari.

"I would love to hang out with you! I've been meaning to talk to you about this for a long time, but I wasn't sure how you'd react."

Inoijin seemed excited and suggested that they meet up after school. He said he'd show her a special place.

Himawari was still shocked that she'd been asked out, and by Inoijin!

Both of them tried not to show it, but they couldn't wait for the next day. As they they both walked home, Inoijin reached for her hand, and intertwined his fingers in hers. Himawari was so happy, she was worried her head would explode. Her 15-year old heart was fluttering wildly and she wondered how her date would end up.

Inoijin then dropped Himawari home safely. She rushed to her bedroom and thanked every God she knew. She had always dreamt of this day, and it was finally here. That night both Inoijin and Himawari were unable to sleep as they wondered how the next day might turn out.

I'm sorry if the scenario seems a little too perfect. As I already mentioned above, this is my first time writing fanfiction. So if you have any suggestions or reviews, kindly comment, or message me.
