A/N
I really just have so much feelings for Yamato, really.
I know he's OOC in this but I could really imagine him doing this with Ino.

"You know," Yamato covered his face in embarrassment. "That wasn't what I meant."
The blonde girl huffed in annoyance, turning her head away at her older companion who was obviously panicking at the sudden predicament he got himself in.
"You're really pretty for your age." Ino repeated the same words he had said to her. "Really now? For my age? What? Am I not pretty when I was younger? Will I not be as pretty when I'm older?"
The man bit his lips, his mind furiously trying to find a way to soothe her.
"I meant to say," Yamato tried again, this time with serious eyes. "You're beautiful, Ino. And I am attracted to you as a man, but there is a terrible age difference between us."
Her eyes lit up at the sudden confession before chuckling softly.
"And I meant to say, Yamato-taicho." She winked at him. "That I'm old enough to decide the type of man that stays in my life, and you definitely pass."
"I… pass?" He looked on in confusion.
"Yes." Ino nodded her head excitedly. "So ask me out already. This young girl could only wait so long for a certain old man."
"I'm not that old!" Yamato protested. He noted the age difference between them could still be counted in ten fingers (or not), adding a year or two. "You could be a little nicer, Ino."
"Right back at you, taicho." She winked yet again, causing his heart to stir.
She really is easy going, Yamato smiled to himself, but this is exactly why I like her.
