A/N: So, provided that Google (formerly known as Topeka) has provided me with a good source, red tulips are a declaration of love. Ino would probably know that… Review! :)
"God damn it," Shikamaru cursed suddenly.
Temari watched as her scowling husband exited the apartment.
He came back ten minutes later, a bouquet of red tulips in hand.
"The hell are those for?" Temari asked.
Shikamaru sighed and thrust the flowers toward her.
"I didn't tell you that I loved you yesterday," he muttered.
Temari's smirk was positively radiant.
"Aw, Shika-kun, you're so sweet," she told him, dripping with fake glee.
"Shut up and be happy with the flowers, woman," Shikamaru retorted.
He turned back to the newspaper to hide his blush; she to her book to hide her smile.
