Complicated Love
----------------------------------
Chapter 1
It was a sunny day in Konoha, everyone was outside running errands, couples were taking walks in the park and children were running around everywhere.
Sasuke Uchiha was sitting on one of the wooden benches in the park watching all the couples walk by.
'I wish it was me and Naruto walking around like that,' Sasuke thought to himself. 'But I know Naruto would never have feelings for me like that.'
Sasuke looked to right to see an orange blur running towards him. 'Speak of the devil.' Sasuke rolled his eyes and braced himself for the impact from Naruto.
"Dobe, get off." Sasuke said half-heartedly.
Naruto looked up from Sasuke's side and smiled his fox grin at him.
"Sakura-chan's birthday is in a few days and I need help picking out something for her birthday. Can you help me?"
"No. Go find someone else to help you." Sasuke looked down at Naruto's face.
"Pwease Shasuke-chan?" He said pouting. Sasuke found it hard to resist the pouting face of Naruto. He rolled his eyes.
"Fine. It better not take along time."
"Yay! Thank you Sasuke!" Naruto jumped up and grabbed Sasuke's hand, pulling him up from the bench.
"Let's go! We'll get her some jewelry and buy some flowers at Ino's shop." Naruto dragged Sasuke to the jewelry store.
'It's a good thing Ino gave up on me or I would've high-tailed it out of here at the mention of Ino's name.' Sasuke thought.
"Here we are!" Naruto said smiling at Sasuke whose face was emotionless.
"Hn." Sasuke walked into the store with Naruto right behind him.
"How about this?" Naruto asked picking up a small, red, and velvet box.
Sasuke looked inside to find silver cascading earrings with a red gem on the end of each string. There was also a matching necklace with a silver chain and silver cascading strings with the same red gems on the end of each one.
"That's nice. Buy it and lets get out of here dobe." Sasuke said turning around.
"Impatient teme!" Naruto mumbled just loud enough for Sasuke to hear, who replied with a grunt. Naruto headed towards the cashier with the box.
"That'll be $65." The cashier said with a glare.
"But on the box it says $50." Naruto said not knowing if he had enough to pay for it.
"Take it or leave it, demon." The cashier said narrowing his eyes even more.
Naruto fished the money out of his pocket realizing he only had $10 left.
"Can I get it wrapped too?" Naruto asked.
"Another $5." The man said snickering.
Naruto pondered on whether he should have it wrapped or not. 'I should get it wrapped though. My wrapping skills are as good as a 3-year-old.' He thought to himself.
"Fine." Naruto sighed and handed the man $5.
Naruto chose silver for the ribbon and red for the wrapping paper.
Naruto walked out of the store with the wrapped package in his hand and a giant grin on his face.
"Ready now, dobe?" Sasuke said leaning on a lamp post.
"Whenever you are teme." Naruto said.
Sasuke gracefully pushed himself off the lamp post and walked ahead of Naruto towards Ino's shop.
"Hello Sasuke, Naruto." Ino greeted when she saw the two boys enter. "What are you guys doing here?"
"I'm here to buy flowers for Sakura-chan and this teme over here," Naruto pointed his thumb towards Sasuke, "is helping me."
"So what kind of flowers are you going to get?" Ino asked.
"I was thinking roses or lilies." Naruto said rubbing a flower petal between his thumb and fore finger.
"No, no, no!" Ino said walking towards them. "You can't get those!"
"Why not?" Naruto asked about to pout.
"Roses mean 'I love you' while lilies mean 'death'. You need to find the right flower with the right meaning."
Naruto paled. "So which flower should I get?"
Ino looked around the store until her eyes landed on a bouquet of orchids. She picked up the bouquet and handed them to Naruto.
"What do these mean?" Naruto asked looking at them then turning his head to look at Ino.
"They could mean anything from 'congratulations' to 'thank you' to 'happy birthday' and anywhere in between. That'll be $15." Ino said once she reached the cash register.
"Umm, I only have $5." Naruto said handing her the money.
Ino took the money and stared at it for a few minutes. "Ok, here's the deal. Choji and Shikamaru are out on a mission and I need a training partner for the rest of the week. If you want those flowers you have to be my training partner. Got it?" Ino asked.
"Got it!" Naruto said grinning.
"Ok. Tomorrow meet me at training ground 10."
Naruto gave her a thumbs up and headed towards Sasuke with the present and flowers in hand.
I'm not sure if I got the flower information right. Sorry if it's wrong I read the thing about lilies in a book and the roses and orchids I got from the internet.
Thank you for reading!
