[EVENT] Apology Time.
...a.k.a. Minato's Monday Tuesday Surprise~!



Minato spent Friday and much of the weekend feeling like the world's biggest jerk for screwing up Izuna's birthday with accusations. All ire has been redirected to Madara now, since he's the one who made Minato feel misled, shh. When Madara texted him something about Valentine's Day on Saturday, he decided that either A)Izuna hadn't told his brother about it or B)Madara was still in approval of Minato attempting to date his brother despite his mistake. He likes the hopeful side of things better so likes option B, even if actually dating Izuna at some point is starting to seem kinda hopeless. He then began formulating a plan to at least attempt to apologize.

Thinking on his feet has always been a strong point of his, so he quickly formulated a plan...but there was a problem. How was he going to get his token of apology to Uchiha-san without ending up with it...all over himself. He was pretty sure it would be quickly rejected in person, along with the note accompanying it. Putting it on his desk was a much more desirable option, but with the recent prank(lookin' at you, Saso), the offices now require a pincode to get into.

Due to this setback, he was unable to find a way to possibly get his apology to Izuna on his first day back to work - Monday. However, Monday brought a gem: Tobi the current office bitch said that if he needed anything, just ask... So he did.

On the offchance that Izuna might spend the night in his office, they opted to put the plan in action during lunch on Tuesday.


As such, coming into his office, Izuna will find two of these(in black) sitting on his desk. Inside he will find not one, but two giiiiiant milkshakes. Or, rather, thickshakes. Specifically, thickshakes of the same exact kind as he spilled all over his phone and seemed so sad at the loss of. Yes, Minato went searching all over Reno to find a shake that smelled like a particular vanilla flavor and apparently had a small amount of alcohol, in the design of cup that he vaguely remembered Izuna carrying.

Tucked under the corners of the containers is a note on thick, yellowed, parchment-like paper folded into a rose shape. On the outside in neat cursive is written, "Uchiha-san". The note inside reads as follows:


Uchiha-san,


I feel I must apologize for my previous behaviour. I was mistaken in making the assumptions I did with such limited information. The conclusions I reached hurt me and I uncharacteristically lashed out in a way that I now know was exceedingly unwarranted. For any distress I caused you, I am truly sorry.

I do not believe I have previously encountered so many misunderstandings in such a short period of time. I think it was dealing in text and through a third party that such misconceptions were bred. From the start I should have sought to do things the right way - in person. I should have come to you and asked for a chance to speak with you to begin with - and if you'd preferred, permission to fill out that form. However, I am human and in no way infallible, and figured that my attempts to court you would be a matter if simplicity.

If it is not too late, I would ask a chance to correct where I have erred in previous efforts. Whether it is for a few words over coffee in a location of your choosing, or if you would allow me the privilege to take you on a proper outing, I would like to speak with you in person - not this blasted text, not through a third party...face to face. Even if you deem me unworthy of your affections, you are still compellingly intelligent, have an amusing sense of humor, and a seemingly delightful tastes for the sweeter things in life - and these attributes in combination show me that you are someone whom I would be happy to even form a simple friendship with. [there's a little blotch here, like he hesitated in writing the next sentence.] If it is indeed too late for even that...then I very well will be truly sorry.

Irregardless of whether or not you choose to accept my invitation, I would still like to proffer these tokens of my apology. The containers will not keep them frozen for too long of a period, but they are just as good if you stick them in the freezer for later - or share them with a friend. (If it makes you feel any better, I made myself a bit ill searching out the right shop for these and it will take me a few days to be able to eat something vanilla again.)


Sincerely,

Minato Namikaze



On the bottom right corner of the note is written Minato's phone number, so that Izuna can contact him if he wishes.
