Sixth Gate: Rock Lee's Springtime of Love [Action/Written]

[Action]

[Lee had been going about his daily routine as usual - or seemingly so - on this brand new day. But there were some omissions he had not noticed; he did not check the journal to see if Sakura had any new messages, nor did he look out for her at all as he ran throughout the village. And then? His jog came to a sudden halt as he caught Izumo Kamiki out of the corner of his eye. He found himself collapsing to the ground with the sudden rush of feeling.

Those eyebrows... why had he not noticed how beautiful they were? And immediately, he thought of other things that suddenly seemed compelling about her. The way she cared for her fox, the romance novels she seemed interested in reading... There was no choice. He would have to romance her. So he ran off to the flower shop and the library to make preparations.

Later that day, Lee could be found jogging through the village in search of Izumo. The difference? He is now balancing a titanic vase on his head, which is filled with dozens of flowers. On top of that, there's a romance novel sticking out of the pocket of his flak jacket. He is young and in love, and he couldn't feel better.]

[And at some point in the day, Lee sees fit to write a simple message in the journal.]

Youth is love.

[ooc: Lee's triggers can be found here. Some of them are tentative to a degree but he's primarily open to be bounced off of!]

[It's nice and early, and Sakura's out on the way to do some training of her own when a familiar flash of green and orange catches her eye. She pauses, though, giving Lee a bit more of a thorough look than usual.

Okay, so that bodysuit is never going to be stylish. But she's never taken note before that what it does, and very well at that, is showcase Lee's powerful body. He's not a brick wall, but he's a completely physical fighter and it absolutely shows in how honed and trained his body is. And what ninja wouldn't appreciate that? Peak physical prowess...

She should go say hello. Maybe see if he's willing to join her for a bit of training? And maybe get a bite to eat afterward or something. Hang out a bit. Spend some time...

She's blushing slightly as she approaches him.]

Lee! Good morning!

Like long cat is long, oracular message is quite oracular.

Please enlighten me.

Oi. Age can be love too.

[Izumo's near the fountain when she spots Lee and...why is her heart racing like this so suddenly?

She's never noticed Lee this way before, wow. It's surprising and overpowering enough that she isn't even bothering to get weirded out by the vase he's balancing on his head. In fact, she's realizing that when he does stuff like that, it's kind of endearing. Everything about him is...

She has to talk to him.]

U-um, Lee?

Depending on how much youth there is that love may get you in trouble, you know.

[This is Ikki deciding to be polite enough to not say directly how stupid the idea is.]

[ Tenten has basically assumed the role of the Naruto Cast's Local Mckalya Maroney with her legendary unimpressed face. And Lee's display of a giant, flower filled vase, and the additional romance novel in his flak jacket (that did not go unnoticed with your teammate's sharp eyes, Lee!) has proved itself to be unimpressive to Tenten. It's also given her a simple conclusion.

She hates valentines day. But, still, Lee could be doing intensive training for Sakura's affections or some other side-chapter worthy story, so, just have Tenten staring Lee down. ]

Lee? What the hell are you doing? [ Normally, she'd ask without the use of the word hell, but that romance novel.... 8|aaa ]

[...There is a guy in spandex jogging with a huge vase filled with flowers on his-]

...Do you need help with that? [...But he has his hands so obviously not- so why is he balancing it on his--]

[song_princess]

Shouldn't it be, "Love is best obtain in youth"?
