Look! A MisaLee after months of.. well, no MisaLee! (Though this is actually mainly Kado centric).
Kado felt like an idiot. Here he was, walking around in front of an apartment building like some kind of creeper weirdo when it was obvious that no one was home, hoping like some pansy that they would show up because he had missed Misaki and even that weirdo Lee recently.
Never mind that it was stupid Valentine's day and that of course they weren't home. And even if they were, it wasn't like they'd want some kid around them. After all, Valentine's day was all about love and hearts and stupid fluffiness, not a kid butting into their lives wanting some attention and affection.
Huffing out his breath he turned on his heel to go away, but a few streets down a familiar voice made him stop.
"Kado-kun? What are you doing here?" Kado turned to see what had become his favorite person in the world walking up to him, the very tip of her nose red from the cold and her hands tucked into the pockets of her bright coat.
"Ah, you know. Just in the neighborhood. Where's Lee?" He asked, looking around for the familiar and green form of the absurdly animated man.
"He left this morning to go do something important, though he didn't tell me what. Your hands are freezing!" She gasped as she intruded his personal space and picked them up. Rubbing them briskly between her own and not noticing the light blush on the boy's face, she looked around and saw the restaurant she had been headed to.
"Come on," She instructed, not letting go of his hand and pulling him behind her. "I had reservations for Lee and me, and since he had to go and do something I was just going to see if I could pick something up but we can get something to eat and get you warmed up instead."
Kado thought about fighting, but all previous attempts at him doing so had only ever ended in him giving up so he decided to get it over with early. Anyways, with how classy the place was they would take one look at his grungy jeans and too thin jacket and throw him out.
But amazingly that didn't happen, and he soon found himself looking over a menu where everything looked like it took knowing four different languages to know what it was, and the food was a lot different than what he was used to when he was with her since it wasn't burned or undercooked or some other such thing. He had a good time and they were going back into the apartment for some hot coco that he knew would be more chunky powder than milk -he couldn't have ended the night with out something he ate or drank during their time together being hideously deformed. It would have been like not dunking a cookie in milk; it wasn't done.
But when she opened the door, instead of seeing the usual slightly messy apartment all he saw was an ocean of flowers and candles everywhere, the smell of it all creeping out to sucker-punch him in the nose and make him want to gag.
"My beautiful blossom!" Lee cried as he popped up from where Kado could only guess the couch was. There were to many roses to actually see. "Happy Valentine's day!" He said with a grand sweep of his arm, and Kado belatedly noticed that there was a giant stuffed turtle with its face pressed up against Gomo-chan's aquarium.
"Oh, Lee!" Misaki cried, her hands going up to her mouth as her eyes widened in what Kado realized was awe. He actually saw some tears. "It's wonderful!"
Well, that wasn't the word he would have used.
Misaki and Lee somehow managed to leap magically -that's really the only description he could give it- over the mess of flowers to meet in the middle, Lee lifting her up in a little twirl as they kissed. The two of them so deep in their little love haze that they didn't notice they had managed to topple some vases of flowers over, most of which Kado somehow managed to catch, the others he tried to righten before too much water was spilled.
Not noticing Kado dutifully mopping up the water before they stepped in it and slipped -and he knew they would, ninja or no- Misaki pulled back and grinned at her husband, not bothering to worry about Lee's sturdy hold on her since she knew he'd never drop her.
"It's all so beautiful, Lee-kun." She said dreamily. Lee grinned up at her, eager to see just how excited she would be when he told her the rest.
"I've also got fireworks we can set off on top of the Hokage mountain." He told her, watching as her entire face lit up.
"Fireworks?" She asked dreamily.
"Fireworks?!" Kado practically shouted, stopping his mopping to gape at the pair, able to see the loss of limbs and third degree burns easily.
"Ah! Kado, do you wish to go too?" Lee asked him gallantly, and Kado tried to figure out if he was more against going because of the certain doom of the fireworks or because he didn't want to spend all that time with them when they'd probably be off in their own little word making out with each other or something like that.
"Oh! Please Kado-kun? Please come with us?" Misaki begged, and Kado didn't even bother to slump in defeat. He just accepted that he'd never be able to say no to her eyes and hoped that they'd somehow be able to make it to the hospital in time to save any damaged limbs when they were done.
I guess this would go toI 'm Naruto Dude, who asked for another MisaLee in... November. Let's just ignore the fact that it is now March (the thirty-first, at that). He asked for one where Lee teaches Kado how to fight as well, but that isn't going to happen (sorry). I have a plan, you see, but it does not involve Kado becoming a ninja.
See ya!
