"Thank you! I will be right back." Gai collected the utensils and napkins and disappeared into the adjoining room. He wasn't really well-versed in romantic dinners, but candlelight and flowers seemed a must, and Kakashi had encouraged it! So it had to be right.

He set the table with his supplies from the kitchen and retrieved (from their spot hiding in Obito's room) those he had bought with him. Gai arranged the tea-light candles into little colorful glass bowls he had bought specially for this, with the roses (Inoichi's daughter's suggestion when Gai explained it was for a date; she did her best to deter him from the sunflowers and gerberas he was usually attracted towards) tucked between the candles. He lit the candles, then dimmed the lights and headed back into the kitchen to make sure dinner wasn't burning.

"Would you like to have a seat and wait? I can bring dinner out to you."
