Naruto shifted uncomfortably in front of the front door of Itachi's house.
What if he's having second thoughts?
His slowly declining mood made his shuffle side to side, clutching tighter at the gift he hid behind his back.
Naruto's head shot up as the door opened and he was left with a gaping mouth as he wondered whether Uchiha naturally sparkled or if it was a thing that only Sasuke and Itachi did.
Itachi felt a small flush of his face as he saw the blonde gaping at him and he quickly raised a fist to clear his throat, looking away from Naruto's casually attractive appearance.
Naruto snapped back to reality as he heard the raven clear his throat. He pulled out his gift from behind his back, shoving it into Itachi's face with both hands and a bright blush.
Itachi could practically feel his mind stuttering as he saw the array of flowers that were all but thrown into his face. His hands slowly came up to relieve Naruto's arms of the light burden so that they could pull themselves to the blonde's chest in a nervous gesture.
Naruto only glanced up to see if his original thought of Itachi resigning in disgust would prove true, only to fix his eyes on his date as he gently buried his face in the bouquet with a noticeable blush and awkward demeanour.
Naruto giggled quietly at Itachi, watching the black eyes meet his with a weak glare and furiously blushing face.
"W-what?"
Naruto giggled stronger at the stuttering of the usually composed individual in front of him.
"If you're going to react like this every time I get you flowers, I think it would be a good investment to get a subscription at the Yamanaka's flower shop," he said, pausing to think for a moment. "I wonder if Ino would be willing to give me a discount."
Itachi's blush deepened as he buried his face into the bouquet and whispered for the flower's ears, "That would be nice."
Naruto's mood was vivacious for the rest of the night and several people stopped to watch the couple pass, wondering about the flowers held close to Itachi's chest. One notable pair watched the two as they entered Ichiraku Ramen.
Sakura huffed as she glared through the binoculars at the fleeting backs of the couple.
"Well," Sasuke said smugly, "looks like you owe me a hundred yen, Sakura."
"Ugh!" Sakura growled, throwing up her arms and losing the binoculars as they flew away to a better place. "Damn it, Naruto! Why did you have to be the one to get him flowers?!"
Sasuke snickered the rest of the night, watching through his own binoculars as the waiter attempted to flirt with Naruto and be thoroughly terrified as Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan activated, running off without taking their orders and leaving a random, more wary, waiter to look after their table for the rest of the night.
