It's so pretty...

He was dressed up. Where his mother had managed to locate anything to dress him up with on such short notice with he had no idea, but it meant when he took off roaming he was a streak of dark blue and red amid those at the festival as he went here and there, utterly fascinated by the new sights.

He'd been to festivals in Konoha, yes, but those were different. This was -new-.

It also meant he wasn't exactly being the most attentive person ever, and had escaped the people he'd been with. Unintentionally, of course.

Naruto was sure she would get a heat stroke very, very soon, because her cheeks felt so aflame that she thought they will fall apart from heat. She didn't expect to get such a compliment. No one exactly called her beautiful. It was mostly strong, clumsy and slightly idiotic, but beautiful- she hears it for the first time from him.

But she didn't break the eye contact- she didn't want him to think that she was feeling insecure about what she said because that's not true. With her other free hand, she moved her bangs behind her ear, giving him bright smile:"Mmm. It would be cruel to call this anything but date, dattebane." It really would be.

An eyebrow quirks with a kind of dry amusement as his gaze follows her hand and watches her tuck her hair behind her ear. There was something so unbelievably feminine about the gesture, and he can't help but reach out himself, taking another stray strand and tucking that behind her ear, too. "I would not wish to be cruel to you. You beat that out of me several years ago."

He's distracted by what seems like a sudden plunge of darkness and silence; the fireworks' finale must have finished.

She blinks, giggling slightly:"Don't worry. If you are cruel to me I think I will find the way to fix it," she winked somewhat cheekily, but still blushing. She leaned slightly into the touch as he moved the strands of her hair, heart thumping in her ears.

She looked up at sky as the fireworks stopped, sighing:"Aww, they stopped already? Such a shame, 'tebbane."

That wink sends another flush to his cheeks, and he can't help but smirk as he leans in closer. "I'd like to see you try," he murmurs against her ear, brushing his lips over his cheek as he settles back on his knees. If Tenten could manage two romantic relationships, certainly the genius Jounin could handle one.

"It seems they have," he remarks, reaching around her to tuck the blanket more firmly around her shoulders from where it had shifted loose. "We appear to have missed them."

[fire_fox]

Well from all of what he said, and it wasn't much, she only understood try. It happens when she's distracted with his closeness which was completely new to her. It made her flustered yet so happy and warm.

She smiles at him as he tucks blanket around her even more. She wasn't cold at all, but she decided not to say anything. She smiled, somewhat shyly:"Yes. We did. We were... kind of busy, dattebane," she said in almost a whisper as she picked on her kimono.

Another, almost invisible smirk quirks his lips again as he brushes his hand over her cheek, fingers ostensibly making sure that her bangs stay tucked behind her ear as the tips trail over the shell. "I'm sure there will be a next time," he offers in response, though whether he's referring to the kiss or the fireworks, who can really say?

[fire_fox]

She couldn't say which one but she did agree with either. And she wondered briefly if his fingers could pick up the heat of her ears too because the blush never seem to leave her face at all, and it only spreads.

It was kind of hard to outline him in the dark and considering they were on the hill, there were no street lights. Now- how to get another kiss from him?

[openedthebasket]

Easily -- with his eyes, it would be impossible not to see her in the darkness. His hand trails down from her ear to trace her jawline and lightly grasp her chin as he leans in for a brief, chaste kiss, then pulls back reluctantly. "It's getting late," he murmurs against her lips, his eyes watching hers. "Shall I take you home?"

[fire_fox]

She returned very eagerly the chaste kiss, mumbling quietly, also not happy that they have to break the kiss so fast. "Mmm... as much as I don't want to, we should go. I don't want to worry Mikoto-san," she smiled gently at him, sneaking another chaste kiss.
