Deidei caught site of the note and frowned, shrugging before slamming it down and buring her face in the pillows. God, her head was pounding. ~~~~ Gaara smiled, swallowing a bite of food and looking at her curiously. "Why are you so nervous on dates?" he asked, "You aren't going to be like this next time are you?" AKA, he was asking her out again. [/center]

Ro blushed nervously before looking down at her plate with a shy expression. "I'm sorry," she said, the blush painted on her face only making her glow with a cute aura, "I know, I'm awkward...But I've never been on any...real dates before." she admitted, almost shamefully. Well, a girl at her age not getting to go on any real dates WAS a bit of a shocker, but she knew her way around.

"It's alright, neither have I." he said casually, like it was nothing, he hadn't even had a first kiss to tell the truth.

Ro's blush worsened. His similar naïvity only intrigued Ro more. She had had boyfriends before, but they had never gone on any real dates. It was more awkward than that, actually. Suddenly, she heard two familiar voices ring through the restaurant. "RO-CHAN!! RO-CHAN!" Ro hid her face as two girls rushed in, dressed very scene orientated. One had pink streakt, the other purple. they kidded to a halt at her table. "There you are! We've been looking all over for you!" they scrambled. "Ichigo, Yukino, this isn't the best time..." Ro said with a bit of disdain. the pink streaked girl, Ichigo pouted. "Oh!" she gasped, noticing Gaara. Yukino looked between the two. "Oh my God, you're dating the Kazekage?!" she gasped. "You're so lucky!" gasped Ichigo.
Ro facepalmed. Worst timing ever.

Gaara blinked, slightly startled by the two girl's and their sudden appearance... and assumption. After all, nothing was official, nor was it out of the question. It was just there. Studying the two girls he lifted two fingers in a slight wave, setting his chopsticks on the table slowly.

Ro left her face in her palm, blushing madly. "Yukino, Ichigo, you stupid drunkards..." she sighed. The two of them just giggled. "Na, how'd you do it?" asked Ichigo. Yukino raised an eyebrow cockily. "Yeah, I wanna know how you managed to get into this one's pants."
Ro's face turned deeper red. "Out! Go! Shoo! shoo!" she stammered, waving them out. Conveniently, a waiter had escorted them out for disturbing the peace, AND intruding. Ro evoided eye contact with Gaara, looking down and sighing. "I'm really sorry about those two. They like to cause trouble." she said uneasily, hoping this didn't ruin anything.

Gaara shrugged nerviously. "It's alright, friends like that are emminant." he stated simply, reflecting on Naruto and Deidei and feeling his eye twitch some. He glanced at the check set of the table and pulled out his wallet, placing the bill on it without thought. The tip was large, but it always was. "So, you wanna go anywhere after this?" he asked casually, testing the waters to see if a second date was plausable. After all, this was his first actual date, he didn't know what the hell he was supposed to do, though he had a feeling the flower vender down the street might come into play if she said yes. It would seem awkard buying her a flower as they passed by... would it?
~~
Deidei yawned widely, tears gathering at her eyes with the actions as she waited for the Nara, her legs outstretched on the couch, settled nicely in a pair of her own boxers and one of his button up night shirts, she hoped he didn't mind, but she still had little to no belongings, and on top of that, the few clothes that she did have were either clubbing wear or shinobi assigned uniforms from various devisions and villages. Life was hard when you were a mercenary, she had known that before deciding on the career, but you can't reall help it, when you were never comfortable in a village to begin with, let alone pledging your life away to it. She glanced over, hearing the scrape of keys in the lock and the door open, her plate of food in her lap now on the coffee table as she craned to see if it was Shikamaru, after all, if he was much longer his food would get cold.

Ro sighed and stood up, thankful that the two troublemakers had left...and that the date wasn't all that messed up. She was still blushing, looking at her leather boot-clad feet, trying to expel any negative thoughts she had racing around so frivolously in her mind.
Ro was then snapped out of her thought when Gaara's voice rang through her ears, asking another, much needed question. She looked up from her feet, brunette curls bounced lightly behind her as her eyes met with Gaara's. A second date? she thought, feeling the heat in her face only intensify by a degree as she searched for her response. Of course she wanted to go on a second date! But there was no way she'd be able to say it clearly without appearing more awkward than normal.
Ro finally spoke after a few seconds of internal flustering. "Yeah, sounds good..." she trailed off, shaking her head and blushing hotter than before, realizing she had worded that wrong. "I-I mean, I'd love to!" Gah! Get a grip! Ro thought. She felt something was wrong with her. She was never usually this nervous, but for whatever reason, she was stumbling over her words more than a short person in a crowd of knotted rope. She coughed silently before sighing, smiling warmly at Gaara with her usual tough-front aura resonating again. -- Shikamaru had finally made it home, after working a few extra hours to get a little more cash. With a casually apathetic look he dug around his pants pocket for the apartment key and fumbled to get it into the slick lock, only for a second. The key dug into the gears and turned just before the knob.
Shikamaru pushed into the door to open it before sliding around the corner and shutting it just as swiftly, being careful not to bang up the bag of groceries gripped lazily in his right hand. Ramen, bananas, a few plastic cartons of raspberries and blueberryes, and a six pack of Arizona. (AZ GREEN TEA NUMMERNUMMERNUMZ) He placed the heavy pack on the floor before noticing his blonde houseguest laying lazily on the couch with a plate of food. His senses kicked in to realize she had made a delicious smelling dinner, cracking his features into a grin. "Hey, have fun while I was out?" he joked, bringing the pack and the bag into the kitchen to put away before it spoiled.

Gaara smiled, standing up slowly and offering his arm to her as the waiter rushed to clear the table. “Shall we be going then?” he asked with a casual smirk, almost a smile really. He was a bit giddy, feeling that his first, let me repeat, first, date in his whole life was going the way he had almost envisioned it, though the two girls from earlier weren’t planned from before. He turned his mind to a place they could go that wasn’t too weighing for a first date, the park seemed like a nice choice, and with the sakura blooms it’d be amazingly romantic in that casual way he loved. ~~ Giggling, the blonde shifted to sit upwards more, curling her legs under her. “I made you a plate, un, it’s on the counter, un.” She said happily, patting the cushion beside her. “Groceries… anything refrigerated or freezable in there, un? I’ll put it away, un.” She said, wondering if he had noticed that she had cleaned the kitchen, vacuumed and mopped, or separated the mall for him yet.

Ro smiled as she saw Gaara's lips curve into their own form of satisfaction. She looked down at her feet, hiding a blush before she looked back up to Gaara and took his arm, following him out of the restaurant. Thankfully, there was no sign of Yukino or Ichigo.
As they stepped out into the calming streets of downtown Konoha, Ro took in the romantic night air. Pearl street lights reflected off of the concrete, which had been slightly moistened from previous drizzling. The reflection let off an artistic glow, calming Ro a bit more. Much was needed if she were to really enjoy this evening. But where were they to go? Ro was already sorting out her thoughts, a dreamy look in her eyes as she envisioned a romantic scene under the sakura, in the privacy of Shindou Park's center. Ah, Shindou Park. Sakura grew everywhere in that particular stretch of land. Many have spread the lovely rumor--"the veil of sakura, an opening with a single bench in the center of the park, entails with stories of love. Only two gaze into the eyes of one another, not to be seen by the outside world".
Ro held back a giggle, a blissful grin forming on her blushing features as she tried to look up and away from her feet. She then a flower vendor passing close, solemnly pushing a mahogany cart full of flowers stocked into each appropriate slot. Water could be heard, lightly sloshing as the wheels turned. Water vials for portability clinked lightly, hung from the arch of the cart.
A white rose caught her eye, a bead of dew hanging from it's pure petals glistening against the moonlight. -- Shikamaru noticed some other things around the house as he stocked the materials away. The atmosphere seemed a lot...cleaner. More organized and easier to get around. He straightened up, nearly banging his head on the freezer before taking a glance around the kitchen. A faint lemon scent wafted from below his feet. He turned back to see that various knickknacks he kept hanging on the shelves were organized, the floor was sparkling clean, and the carpeting spotless, and surprisingly it's normal beige color. His eyebrows went up before he closed the fridge and went to grab his dinner plate. "Na, you cleaned the house?" he asked, preparing to give a compliment of thanks for a deed unrequested. By Deidei, even. He smiled lightly.

Gaara had spotted the rose as well, a small perfect floating through his mind as he reached out, tapping the vender on the shoulder and indicating the rose. It was only a matter of seconds more, between the exchange of paper for flower before he looked at it for a moment. "It's beautiful," he said softly, reaching over to Ro and tucking it into her hair, just above her ear. The stem was too short to continue carrying, stupid vendor. ~~ Deidei shruged, "No, it was the cleaning fairies of the dust bunny kingdom, un." she said simply a small smile gracing her features as she returned her food to her lap, picking at it with her chopsticks slowly. "How was your day, un?" she asked after her first bite, making room for him on the love seat, the TV flickering with a show behind her. Who knows, maybe he'd get used to her living here and decide he didn't want her to move /before/ she had to tell him she was down to three hundred yen in herbank account and had been put of hold by all villages except for Konoha due to a ripped muscle in her back she knew she could work around. . . maybe.

Ro watched in the corner f her eye, the vendor and Gaara exchange words before items. She looked toward Gaara as he approached, unaware of the tint of pink laying on her cheeks. she smiled as the flower lay behind her ear and thanked him silently.
Ro then noticed the trellis-laden archway leading into Shindou Park, and tugged lightly at Gaara's hand, careful not to scratch it with her long nails. She wanted to see if such a lovely rumor was true...
______//
Shikamaru smiled at Deidei's sarcastic comment and leaned back on the sofa, taking a bite of his food. "It was alright," he answered, about his first job, anyway... [[LOL SECRET NUDE MODELING SNOW DROP SNOW DROP]]

Gaara smiled and walked beside her, so she was interested in the park. Good, it saved him the trouble of figuring out how to get her to go there. He smiled as they passed under the trellises and he wondered if her should be holding her like other couples do. No, it was only a first date so holding hands was proper... right? God, he needed more expirance. ~~~ Deidei smiled and shifted so that she was leaning against him softly. "That's good then, un." she said cutely, a smile on her features and she shifted more, getting herself comfortable against him. It was almost strange, going from hating him to loving him, but she wouldn't let him know that. After all, she'd always tease him mercilessly. >3

Ro looked up as they passed the trellis as the numerous pink flowers hanging from it as they glistened a reflective pink and purple color. She looked ahead to see other couples basking under the dim streetlights in a romantic aura. Then, she noticed the small pathway, leading into the dimly lit darkness of the rumored romance area. One of which ,where it aaaaall begins.
Ro smiled, subtly walking through the park hand in hand with the red-haired man and inching very lightly toward that entrance. She noticed a sign beside it, the letters etched out illegibly. It was covered with rose quartz. She could clearly see the aura resonating from that one area--a pink-crimson, and remembered geological studies. That area is supposedly laying directly on top of a rose quartz mine, which is said, the crystal is supposed to open your love chakra...
_____//
Shikamaru let an arm fall over Deidei's shoulders, holding him to her as she lay sleepily beside him. He sensed the smile coming from her face and couldn't resist delivering a sweet kiss to her cheek. This all felt foreign to him, but somehow right. Sudden shifts in emotions weren't uncommon from previous females he had been around. [lolIno] But he shrugged it off and let the moment ensue, trying not to think about how the second half of the day had previously gone.

Gaara smiled some, leading the way to one of the enterances his arm slidng around her waist hesitantly. If she pulled away he'd let her. Trial and error right? Sensing the crystal with his sand he bit the inside of his lip. Geez, so many omens of love tonight. ~~ Deidei blushed some and moved closer, comfortable soaking up the heat from his body. Closing her eyes some she yawned widely, covering her mouth with her hand. Tears gather at the corners of her eyes involuntarily and she wiped them. "Mmmm, tired, un." she muttered, nuzzling against him.
