Morning sunlight rose through Naruto Uzumaki's apartment window and found its way right into his eyes. He groaned as he pulled his pillow from under his head onto his face, it wasn't till he kicked his legs about the bed and felt something soft against his feet that he remembered Hinata! He threw the pillow from his face and span around to face where she slept.

"Hinata...?" She wasn't there, he sighed in relief. His foot had just kicked another pillow, he shook of the fear that'd he could of hurt her if she had been there. She seemed so fragile; he'd never forgive himself if he did hurt her.

The bedroom door opened slowly as Hinata walked in, blushing slightly as she handed him a tray of his breakfast. Naruto grinned widely. 'PANCAKES' He thought happily as he dug in.

Hinata climbed up onto the bed, back on her side of the bed and curled up to him as he ate. He felt her stare and looked nervously over to her, she was biting her lip.

"Oh, erm...It's good, Hinata...amazing. Good job!" He gave her the thumbs up and smiled, pancake crumbs sticking to his lips. Hinata smiled a little but sighed and turned away. Her head smothered into her pillow and her body curled up away from her.

He watched her worried, he felt like he was missing something. She'd been fine with him yesterday, they'd had fun. He blushed at the memory of the 'fun' they'd had. But now as he looked at her, she looked upset or disappointed. Had he done something wrong?

He thought over all that had happened yesterday, especially the night time part feeling suddenly insecure about how well his performance had been. He heard her sigh. He wanted to ask her what was wrong but he thought he'd just say the wrong thing and she'd just get more upset. He moved the tray away from himself and stood up off the bed. He wandered off to the kitchen, only in his boxers. When he got there he opened the fridge and got out the milk.

As he drank out of the carton, something on the calendar made him spit back out the milk, all over the wall. Three month anniversary, He read it again after he'd controlled his coughing as he'd managed to choke on some of the milk.

"No..." His eyes looked to the kitchen door aiming through the door and through the bedroom door, to where Hinata was properly still on the bed. Then he looked back at the calendar. "Crap" he dropped the milk carton and ran out the front door.

He was halfway down the stairs when he passed a postman.

"Forgetting something?" The postman smirked.

Naruto didn't know what he was on about, he looked about himself. What was he forgetting? Blood rushed to his face, when he noticed he was still just in his boxers. The postman man laughed and turned away shaking his head. Naruto ran back up the stairs and reached for an invisible key, he'd left his key in his pocket of his trousers. But of course he didn't have pockets in his boxers; still it took him a couple of seconds to figure this out.

When realisation hit, he knocked on the door. Hinata answered the door, completely dressed just in her normal everyday clothes. She knew she'd been selfish to buy that new dress for today rather than buy food or pay the bills. Especially now, that she wouldn't be wearing it.

"Huh? Naruto-kun...?" She blinked a couple of times at his blushing face. "What are you doing out here and only in your boxers?" She asked confused.

"Erm...silly story..." He slid past her and ran to the bedroom. She watched him go then sighed and went to the kitchen. She found the only milk they had left in a puddle on the kitchen floor. She looked at it guiltily, not that she'd been the one to spill it. But that she'd let Sakura and Ino persuade her into buying that dress, that beautiful purple summer dress that she looked gorgeous in. She blushed as she pictured herself in it. She knew as soon as she'd put it on she wouldn't be able to let it go and now they wouldn't be able to get anymore milk till next week. She sighed deeply and bent down to pick it up.

Naruto searched around the bedroom, by the bed under bed but there was nothing there. Where were his clothes? Not even a dust bunny was found as his head poked around under the bed. He looked around confused. He crawled out from under the bed and crawled around the room.

Hinata walked into the room.

"Naruto-kun...?" She couldn't see him. She walked around the room to the window and glanced out. She heard a bump to the side of her; she turned and saw Naruto's body half hanging out from behind the wardrobe. "Naruto-Kun"

He tried to turn his face to her, but he was too squashed up against the wall and the back of the wardrobe. "Hi..." He said awkwardly.

"What are you doing?"

"Erm...I'm looking for my clothes"

She shook her head and walked over to the wardrobe and pulled it away from him. He was free! He rubbed his face; Hinata opened the wardrobe doors and pulled out a hanger that on it, Naruto's clothes were, freshly clean.

He looked at them in her hand and smiled.

"I didn't think to look there" he grinned. She laughed. He reached forward and took them from her, pecking her on the cheek as he did so. She blushed, a natural pink.

"I'm going to pop out for a bit" She told him.

"Okay, me too"

She waved and walked out of the room and out the front door. She'd all ready forgiven him for forgetting their anniversary. Those things didn't matter as long as she knew he loved her, which she did so she'll always forgive him. She was going out to find Shino, Kiba and Akamaru. She figured because she had nothing else planned she get some training done. It'd been awhile since they last did it as a team and she didn't want to fall behind.

Naruto got dressed in silence but in his mind he was panicking: What am I gonna get her? How much money do I have? What would she like? He shoved his shoes on and ran out the door.

Closed, Naruto read the sign again: Closed.

"Why today? Of all days!" He shouted at the flower shop doors. He ran over to the window and peered in, using his hands to shield the sunlight that was bouncing of the window, making it hard to see inside. Nope, no one was there, the place was completely empty. "Damn."

He cursed at the window a couple of times and to himself, before turning around, his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he tried to think up a new plan.

He opened his eyes and ran around the village looking for any shop: this was his brilliant new plan. He poked his head through people's home doors and windows. By accident of course, some women hit him with a giant wok as his head appeared over her kitchen sink!

"S-sorry!" he'd screeched out as she ran to her front door and tried to chase him, bringing her wok, with her. "SORRY!" He ran for his life away from the crazy women. He skidded around a corner and came to an absolute halt when he saw what was in front of him.

A lovey dovey shop for all sweethearts, the sign read.

"Thank God" He slapped his hands together in pray and then grinned running over to the shop. He felt so out of place the second he'd opened the shop door and annoying tune beeped out of the speaker above his head. He looked around the bright pink shop, with no idea where he should start. He wandered down one of the aisles, not looking at the sign to see what was down this aisle.

There were all sorts on the selves. All sorts of crap, Naruto thought. There were: candles, soft toys, love letter sets, perfumes and books. Naruto stopped looking at it all when his body froze in shock as he saw someone who looked very familiar, especially from behind the cover of a book.

"K-Kakashi-sensei...?"

The person looked up from the book. "Oh, Naruto - hello"

"What are you doing here?"

"The same reason you are I assume to buy something." He explained clearly confused as to why Naruto would ask should an easy question.

Naruto raised one of his eyebrows then suddenly grinned, "Who are you buying a gift for?"

Kakashi closed the book he'd been reading and placed it into the basket he had with him that had already a tower of books in it.

"No body. They've got a good selection of books here. Not as good as the book shop that used to be here..." He seemed pissed off slightly as he shot the 'evils' over at Staff Only door. "Before they sold the place out and put this here instead." He took in a deep breath and forced a smile. "But still a good enough selection to keep me busy."

"O...k"

"And you?"

Naruto blushed nervously and but his arm behind his head, forcing a sort of laugh out. "Erm...It's mine and Hinata's three month anniversary."

"Today...?"

Naruto nodded.

"Wow, three months. If it's a book you're thinking of getting her..." Kakashi rushed over to another section of books and pulled out a blue coloured one, "I recommend this one. It's about these lovers that on the run because their parents are trying-"

Naruto shook his head quickly, "erm...No I don't think-"

Kakashi put the blue one back and went to another section, "ooo she'll love this one. I thought it was alright but I'm not a girl and it's more of a girly kind of stor-"

"Seriously I don't think I'm going to get her a-"

Kakashi was picking up tons of books as Naruto tried to get away, he turned around in time to see Naruto slowly backing away shaking his head and forcing a smile. He ran to him, a tower of books threatening to fall at any moment in his hands and shoved them into Naruto's hands.

"Trust me a book is the way to go."

Naruto struggled to keep hold of the books, if he made any movement they wobbled.

"Do you want some help getting them to the checkout?" Kakashi offered.

"No" Naruto said too quickly. He walked over carefully to Kakashi and tried to force the books back into his hands. Kakashi refused and the books spilled out all over the floor. Kakashi looked down at them and when he looked back Naruto was gone. He looked down the aisle and just caught a glimpse of bright orange escaping out of the shop door. He looked back to the books and then up into the Shop assistant's judging eyes.

"Erm..." Kakashi panicked. He pointed down the aisle to where he'd just seen Naruto leave from. "It wasn't my f-"

The shop assistant just shook her head at him. He sighed, bent down and started stacking up the books.
