It was late in the afternoon and the streets of Konoha were already quite busy as the unusual couple entered the shopping area in search for a suitable object, which would hopefully help to full-fill their current two brunets entered a store to the right and carefully weaved their way through the massive crowd.

"I should have sent Bisuke instead," the shorter male murmured when he was lightly kicked in his sides by some unknown feet, which shortly after disappeared and searched for cover in the safety of the other people.

"Gomen," the other men replied and immediately bent down, gently placing the little dog on his left shoulder to prevent any other bothersome incidents. "I wasn't aware of the fact that it's so full of people during this time of the day," his voice was full of honest concern, making the brown pug sigh slowly in response.

"I shouldn't have complained about it in the first place." Pakkun knew that his partner wasn't used to living a normal daily routine. How should he have known that shopping on a Saturday afternoon could be more exhausting than many S-rank mission they've accomplished together. If it was anyone's fault than it was his for not telling him before he asked him out for help.

"It's nothing. But I really wonder how you survive without this basic knowledge," he joked mockingly to ease the tensed atmosphere caused by the stressed, unfamiliar faces, completely taken in their pre-weekend shopping.

They moved further into the store, directly to a certain corner where the brownhaired normally wouldn't be seen at all. While he quickly searched the shelves, he noticed Pakkun continuously tilting his head from one side to another. The small dog was clearly bothered with his thoughts.

The man stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at him, carefully inspecting the quizzical look on his face. "What's wrong?", he asked friendly, his fingers slowly rubbing his temple as his eyes started to wander around the several wooden cupboards again. "I'm sure he wouldn't like what you all are up to."

"Hmmn," of course he knew that Pakkun was right, he wouldn't want such a surprise for himself either. Only one of the many things they had in common.

"I know, I know but it's not like I could change it. It wasn't my idea," he sounded more apologetic than he actually should. After all it really wasn't his fault. "It's the Hokage's order."

He sighed at his last words and finally picked up the book, he was searching for. A slight blush appeared on his cheeks as he instantly felt the piercing stares of the female customers on him. "Hard to believe that he never cares about this," he wondered as he made his way to the checkout.

Luckily they didn't have to wait in the queue as long as they had expected, when they've had arrived at the book store. A little relieved he handed over the book.

The young woman on the other side of the counter chuckled lightly, hands covering her mouth. "Sorry, is that all?" - "Uhm...yes!" The red colouring on his face grew worse and his right hand stroke, lightly embarrassed, through his thick, brown hair before he quickly added, "Could you wrap it up, please? It's a present."

Her eyebrows raised slightly, she was obviously amused but did as she was told. "Sure, No problem Sir." Pakkun who was still sitting on his shoulder couldn't restrain his laughter and a rough hand instantly kicked him off.

With the lovely wrapped gift in his hand, he silently left the store with the pug walking near him. "An order, hmm?!", he breathed, his mind occupied with different thoughts.

Pakkun looked up and met the brown eyes, which moved closer, so close, that he was almost able to touch the brownhaired's nose with his own wet one. Before he knew what was going on with the man, he shared his plan, whispering it into his curly brown ears.

The pug's eyes widened and he asked sceptical, "Do you really think this is going to work?", not sure if he was completely convinced of the very spontaneous idea of his companion.

His answer wasn't really comforting as the brownhaired simply shrugged. "I don't know but it's worth trying, isn't it?", he smiled.

"And you're really going to defy it? YOU?" The obvious doubts in the dog's loud voice hurt him slightly. "What's that supposed to mean?", he frowned, a little annoyed and his usual frightening glare was fixated on the poor puppy.

But Pakkun wasn't easily scared and shook it off. "I'll help you," he said and continued their walk back home.

"Thanks Pakkun," the man grinned ear to ear and speeded up his pace to keep up with the little dog.
