There don't seem to be a lot of LeeSaku fics that are just simple, sweet oneshots. I hope that my attempt will be appreciated.

Rock Lee ran his fingers through the thick, silky locks of cotton candy colored hair that flowed over his chest and onto his lap. He gazed in loving awe at Sakura's flawless, beautiful face, her features relaxed with the peace that only sleep could bring. Her chest rose and fell, and the only sound in the small, dark room was that of her steady breathing.

Lee couldn't believe how lucky he was, cuddled up in his apartment with the smartest, loveliest, most youthful girl in Konoha. A guy like him who was optimistic to a fault, with shrubs for eyebrows, and eyes too big for his head. But Sakura loved him, regardless of his looks or his occasionally irritating personality, and that was why Lee had sworn to protect her with his life. Girls as genuine as Sakura were hard to come by.

Lee glanced at the clock. It was much too late for Sakura to go home; she'd have to stay the night with him. Not that he minded the company. Besides, he was reluctant to wake her: she looked so peaceful and content, like a pink haired angel. His angel.

Taking care not to disturb her too much, Lee lifted his love from the couch and carried her, bridal-style, into his room, laying her across the bed. When she shivered, he brought a blanket and draped it over her delicate form. He bent down to kiss her on her forehead, then stopped himself. He usually either kissed her on her hand, cheek, or forehead, out of fear of tainting her innocence, but today, he decided to try something different.

A spark went through Lee's body as his lips met hers. After all, it was his first kiss as well. He stroked his beloved cherry blossom's pink head one more time, and as he did so, he could have sworn that her lips moved to form a small smile.

"I love you," he whispered, and with one last look over his shoulder, he exited the room. He couldn't believe how lucky he was.
