Hello everyone! It definitely has been a very long time, I'm so sorry! Inspiration is somewhere else in a different fandom, so I've only been reading Naruto. Disclaimer: Naruto is by Masashi Kishimoto (who I love for drawing all 9 bijuu this week!)

The soft petals tickled Hinata's nose as she breathed in the fresh smell. A small smile graced her face as her content showed.
"Like it, Hinata-chan?" Hinata jumped as she turned to see a smirking Ino. She was inside the Yamanaka flower shop, looking for new flowers. She always bought her flowers here.
"Ahh- yes." Hinata answered.
"What are you making this time?" Ino said as Hinata continued choosing a few more flowers.
"I'll be making some more paper." Hinata told her, slightly embarrassed. Ino had always known about her hobby of flower pressing.
"Good choice then! It'll definitely look pretty with those new flowers we had found." Ino complimented Hinata. It was a lazy day today, so Ino was glad Hinata came to shop.
"Ah." Hinata agreed as she walked back to the counter with her arm full of flowers.
"So…" Ino started as she rang up the flowers. She gave Hinata a sly look. "Making something special for someone?" She smiled as she saw Hinata's face become furiously red.
"W-what?" She could barely say the word, being so flustered at Ino's implication.
Of course, both knew what Hinata was making, and knew for whom.
"No worries, Hinata-chan! You don't need to get so red about such a simple topic of Naruto." Ino assured her as she began wrapping the flowers together. Hinata avoided her gaze, poking her fingers.
"Anyways, are you going to give it to him when you're done? You really should, I heard Naruto enjoys flowers." Hinata nodded. She also heard about his interest in flowers or gardening
"You should really show Naruto your stuff- and seal the deal with a kiss!" Ino said, looking challenging at Hinata. Hinata's face turned a darker shade of red.
"Anou, Ino-san- you're talking about flower-pressing, right?" Hinata said. Ino snapped out of her dreaming of Sai.
"Sure, but be like me, Hinata! Guys like girls who show themselves off and their strengths." Hinata sweated as she knew where this was going. "That's why Sai likes me so much!" Now was when Ino bragging about her and Sai. As far as Hinata heard from Sakura, Sai was just calling Ino beautiful because he was calling her the opposite of what he actually thought.
"Anou, I have to go now, Ino-san." Hinata stuttered, feeling slightly uncomfortable. She grabbed the bouquet from the counter and handed the money over to Ino.
"What? Fine then." Ino sighed as she placed the money away. "See you later, Hinata-chan!" Ino called as Hinata started walking out. "Remember what I told you!" She yelled out, reminding Hinata. She sweated and waved warily at her as she walked out of the shop, and turned to go back to the Hyuuga home.
As she passed the families that lived in peace inside the walls of Konoha, Hinata looked down at the dozen flowers she chose, and smiled. The large, yellow flower had caught her eye since she walked into the shop, and she definitely knew what she was going to use the flower for.
The flower the first time she glanced at it reminded her of Naruto- that must be why she liked it so much- so she had the idea in her head. She'll try her best, and make something and give it t Naruto-kun; he might just like enjoy the gift.
Hope you enjoyed!
Note: If you've read the databooks or other outside resources, Hinata's hobby is flower-pressing. Naruto's is planting, so it's kind of weird how these two both like flowers or plants.
