niceguypose | 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!]

I see. I dream of the day when my name could have a similar effect on enemies! It does seem that was with we ninja of Konoha, you and your friends have greater power stemming from teamwork. I am most impressed.

I have sought mutual rivalries in the past, but you may be right, Ikki-kun! I would be glad to spar you, Ikki-kun, and see how we match up!

It's not really teamwork, each has their own techniques and powers, but since we all have the same objective it looks as if we work together for it. Our objective is our first priority, things like helping each other comes far behind that.

Though I have to admit that when we actually do teamwork we are perfectly unstoppable.

[He can't help to admit to that with a small smile. Sure, it doesn't mean they are invulnerable, but it literally takes a god to be able to do that and they end surpassing them anyway.]

Good to know. Just tell me when you want to have a spar and where. I'm mostly free except for my shifts at the bar, but that's easy to work around.

I see. That is still quite impressive. I would be honored if I could witness such perfect teamwork in action someday!

In that case, I will try to arrange something. I did not know you worked at the bar. What is your age?

For that four people would have to be brought here and stay around enough for a fight to happen. The chances for that are pretty low.

My age? I'm 22 as far as I know. Though I don't think that matters here to work anywhere or even to drink unless the bartender has specific morals.

Such chances do indeed sound low. But this place is known for the unpredictable, and it would still be an incredible sight should it ever come to pass.

I see! That is true. I am glad that you view your job so responsibly. I myself, I must abstain from alcohol at all costs.

I'll let you know if a miracle ever happens then.

And I wouldn't give you alcohol even if you wanted it anyway. Neither candy or coffee, you don't sound like the type to need any of those.

[Yes, to Ikki, Lee's enthusiasm translates into him being hyperactive. Imagine what he would think of someone like Naruto.]

I would appreciate such consideration.

I see. Thank you for looking out for my health! [One can only imagine.]

It's more everyone's sanity what I'm looking out for, but whatever.

[It's not as if you're someone he doesn't mind talking with or anything like that! Hmph.]

I suppose that is also considerate in its own way. But it sounds like a very effective method of maintaining my health!

[What's with this guy and thinking everything is considerate? He's not being considerate he's being rude, why doesn't anyone react as they should anymore? This didn't happen back home with Seiya and the others.]

It would do you little favor to get fat or too excited indeed.

[He can't help it. Lee just can't feel insulted.]

This is true. Although I suppose that there are women out there who would still be capable of loving me at either of those extremes, it would still go against my discipline.

Wait a moment. What does love have to do in this conversation?

[Sure, it started with it but Ikki thought the focus was the youth thing, not the love thing.]

Don't tell me you're actually preoccupied with love right now.

Well, one could say that I am starting to live out my youth to its fullest. Love may indeed be a factor.

[... Great, they got him. Wait if this has already started then he should keep a closer eye on Kotomi.]

Good for you. Tell me about it once the month has ended.

[A.k.a "don't tell me because I don't want to know anything about shifted loves and all that crap".]

I will! Surely I will be able to compile many a story for you by then.
