[OPEN] it's a beautiful night, we're looking for something dumb to do
Who: Gai, Obito, and YOU. OPEN TO EVERYONE who might have reason to be near the mission desk (or be lured to it by Gai's prior wanderings around the village) on the 17th of March
When: March 17th. After Peter's thread with Gai
Where: Mission Desk, Konoha. With lead-up of all around Konoha, including (not mentioned in post) the flowershop.
What: PROPOSAL. Stop the presses. You can tag in watching, or interrupt, or whatever. It's public. GO FOR IT.
OK. Gai was going to do this. So what if he had planned to ask Rin and Minato and Kushina for their permission (it was tradition to ask one's family, right?) and so what if that hadn't yet happened? He was a man of action, as Peter had reminded him, and men of action do not make extrodinary plans that they fuss and fret over. Men of Action DO THINGS. Directly! Dynamically! Impulsively!
Well, not so impulsive. He had the ring for a while now.
BUT IMPULSIVELY NONE THE LESS.
The problem with impulsiveness was that it meant nothing was where you thought it should be. He forgot the ring in his haste to get out of the apartment and had to go back, and then Obito wasn't at his apartment, nor his office, nor his favorite eating spot, and Gai was pretty sure that barreling around town looking for the Hokage with flowers and determination was attracting a lot of attention. So when he finally found Obito at the Mission Desk handing out missions personally (of all places to be!!!) Gai was a little frazzled and had quite a few people staring at him. He tried for all of a second to stand in line. It didn't last. Then he cut the line, much to everyone's annoyance, and gained even more stares.
He had fully intended this to be a mostly private affair.
Too late.
"Uchiha Obito!"
As if Obito wasn't already aware he was there.
