The sunlight filtered through the swaying flowers as you crouched down, tending to a patch of delicate lilies. The soft rustle of petals in the breeze was a sound you'd grown to love—a melody that made your heart feel lighter. As you focused on your work, a familiar voice called out from the edge of the field.

"(Y/n)! Hey, (Y/n)!"

You looked up to see Naruto waving at you, a bright grin plastered across his face as he jogged toward you. His orange jumpsuit was as loud as ever against the calm colors of the flowers, but you didn't mind. If anything, his presence brought its own kind of energy to the field.

"Hey, Naruto," you greeted warmly, standing to meet him. "What brings you here today? Need a break from training?"

"Nah, I was just wandering around and thought I'd stop by," he said, scratching the back of his head. "Your field is, uh... really nice. It's kinda peaceful, you know?"

You smiled, brushing your hands against your dress to remove the dirt. "I'm glad you think so. It's a good place to unwind."

Naruto nodded, his gaze wandering over the endless blooms. "Yeah, it's way better than staring at the same old training grounds. So, what are you up to?"

"Just taking care of the flowers," you replied. "You're welcome to help if you want."

"Help? Like... watering them?" he asked, tilting his head.

You chuckled. "Exactly. Unless you have another idea?"

Naruto grinned. "Oh, I've got an idea, alright. How about we see who can find the prettiest flower in the field? Loser has to treat the winner to ramen!"

You laughed softly, shaking your head. "Always thinking about ramen, huh? But sure, I'll play along."

"Alright! You're on!" Naruto exclaimed, darting into the field with enthusiasm.

You followed at a more measured pace, scanning the blooms for a standout flower. Naruto, on the other hand, was like a whirlwind, bouncing from one patch of flowers to another, his excitement contagious.

After a while, he called out, "Found it!"

You made your way over to him, curious to see his choice. In his hand was a vibrant sunflower, its golden petals shining in the sunlight.

"What do you think?" he asked, holding it up proudly.

"It's beautiful," you admitted with a smile. "A sunflower suits you, Naruto."

"Huh? Why?" he asked, blinking in confusion.

"Because it's bright and cheerful, just like you," you replied simply.

Naruto froze, his face quickly turning as red as a poppy. "W-what? Cheerful? Me?!" he stammered, rubbing the back of his neck and looking away.

You tilted your head, amused by his reaction. "Of course. You have a way of bringing light to people, Naruto. It's a good thing."

"I-I mean... yeah, I guess," he mumbled, clearly flustered. "Anyway, did you find your flower yet?"

You held up a small white daisy, its simplicity standing out among the more colorful flowers. "This one," you said.

"That's... kinda small," Naruto remarked, his blush fading as he leaned in to inspect it.

You nodded. "It may not be as bold as a sunflower, but it's resilient and unassuming. I like that about it."

Naruto gave you a sheepish smile. "I guess it's kinda like you, huh? Calm and nice and... uh..." He trailed off, realizing what he'd said, and his blush returned with a vengeance.

"Thanks, Naruto," you said, laughing softly. "That's sweet of you."

He groaned, hiding his face with his hands. "Why do you have to say stuff like that? You're gonna make me look like an idiot!"

"You're not an idiot," you assured him, patting his shoulder. "You're just honest, and that's something I admire."

Naruto peeked through his fingers, his face still red. "Y-you're too nice, you know that?"

You just smiled, turning back toward the flowers. "Come on. Let's find a few more before we head out."

Naruto followed, muttering under his breath about how you were "way too good at this flower stuff." But the grin on his face told you he was enjoying himself, even if he'd never admit it outright.
