Flowers
Sakura could not help but wonder why Naruto had never given her flowers. Ever. Even when they were younger and he was trying to court her, he never offered her a flower, let alone a single petal. Sakura could not help but feel a bit put out at that thought, especially as she watched Ino squeal over the bouquet of daises that Chouji gave her moments ago.
When she approached Naruto about the topic, he had laughed sheepishly and the exited the room as humanly possible. Sakura could not help but wonder what he was hiding from her when he had fled the room the other times she broached the subject.
They had been dating for three years now and he had yet to give her a single flower, much to Sakura's displeasure. He usually surprised her with a box of chocolates or when he had enough money saved up a nice piece of jewelry. All Sakura wanted was a single flower and yet, Naruto didn't seem to get the idea even though she had hinted at it many times.
It wasn't until one day on their four year anniversary when she meeting Naruto up at a particularly fancy restaurant that she realized the reason why Naruto always fled from the topic of flowers. That night she had waited for over half an hour for her date and she had been fuming at having been kept waiting until she saw him running down the street with something in a box.
She had noticed that his skin was rather red and he kept scratching at it every chance he got when he gave her the box and apologized for his tardiness. Kakashi wouldn't let him get off early from training even though he had told him what the special occasion was.
When Sakura opened the box, she was absolutely surprised, yet delighted to see a bouquet of roses resting on a small bed of tissue paper. She wanted to voice her appreciation and love for the gift but was rendered speechless when Naruto had started sneezing and scratching his neck, then his face, anything he could reach.
It then dawned on Sakura why Naruto had never given her any flowers before tonight. The poor boy was allergic to them, but she had failed to come to that realization since she had been too busy being put out by him not giving her any in the past. She also realized that the reason why fled the room when topic of flowers came up was because he had been too embarrassed to admit it to her.
Suffice to say, she did not hold it against Naruto when he gave her a faux bouquet and a giant teddy bear the following date.
