A/N: This is my second fanfiction, so go easy on me! T.T And yes, I know it's not Valentine's Day.
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. If I did, Sasuke and Sakura would be married. ♥
Summary: It's Valentine's Day, and Sasuke never knew it would be so hard just to get a gift for his girlfriend, Sakura. SasuSaku.
Missing Chocolate
"Damn…" somebody with black hair and ebony eyes silently said to himself. Sasuke has been desperately looking for a gift to give to his girlfriend, Sakura. It was Valentine's Day, and he really had no clue how this stuff worked.
The day before, Naruto had explained to him how Sakura likes 'nice' and 'sweet' things, and what Valentine's Day was. Sasuke however, being the stubborn asshole he is, decided to not listen to Naruto's annoying babbling, and now he was slightly regretting it.
Sure, Sasuke is an unaffectionate jerk, and he never even treated Sakura like a girlfriend. Sakura always told Sasuke how much she loved him, while he just responded with his famous 'hn', instead of the traditional 'I love you too'. In fact, Sasuke never even kissed Sakura willingly; it was always Sakura that started it.
Now here was poor little Sasuke, looking for something for his 'precious' Sakura.
Sasuke's dark eyes roamed the exquisite jewelry that lay in the jewelry store he had just recently entered. Sasuke tried to ignore the suspicious glances he was getting from the woman at the cash register. He picked up a heart necklace. He thought it was pretty decent, but then he tried imagining Sakura in it.
No. Just no. I don't even think she wears jewelry in the first place. Especially flashy jewelry.
So Sasuke finally left the store in defeat. Just when he was about to give up, his feet absentmindedly dragged him to a little sweet shop. He stood in front of it, and decided to go in.
Sasuke walked around the tiny shop, and he noticed the annoying grin the girl at the register was giving him. The girl was wildly grinning at someone, and it was obviously Sasuke since they were the only ones in the shop. Sasuke stared back at her, therefore starting a staring contest.
Sasuke, being the master at staring contests he is, won. The girl sighed, accepting her loss.
"You're looking for a gift for your girlfriend, aren't you?" The girl asked, her grin reappearing.
"None of your bussiness, get lost." Sasuke replied while he continued to look at the sweets.
"Fine, be that way. But I'll have you know that I have what you're looking for if your girlfriend likes sweets." The girl replied, causing Sasuke to glance up at her.
"…Give it to me"
"Only if you say please, idiot!"
"No" Sasuke simply answered, starting to get very impatient.
The girl sighed yet again, and tossed an object over to Sasuke.
Sasuke curiously looked over it, ignoring whatever the girl at the register was saying about it. It was a red heart shaped box with a cute pink ribbon tied around it, and Sasuke was guessing some kind of chocolate was inside of it. There was also a small piece of paper on top of it that read, For ( ), where you write the name of the person you were giving it to on.
Sasuke monotonously interrupted the girl's chatting by saying, "I'll take it". He then put the money down on the counter, and started to walk away.
The girl blinked twice. "Hey, were you even listening to me?" The girl yelled to him with anger. "At least say thank you!"
"Hn." Sasuke simply said, while smirking. He loved pissing people off.
"How rude!" She said to herself with a "Humph!" while crossing her arms and leaning back in her chair.
Sasuke went back to his apartment to get his gift ready for Sakura. If he was lucky, he might even get some peaceful training into his schedule.
Unfortunately for him, he was in for one crazy day.
Sakura walked alone down the busy streets of Konoha. She sadly looked around as she saw different couples on dates for Valentine's Day. She hated to admit it, but she wished Sasuke would treat her like that. Sakura continued to walk, but stopped to turn her head and stare at an outdoor vegetable stand. Her green eyes fell on the tomatoes on the stand, and then on the person selling the vegetables.
She was sure Sasuke wouldn't buy her anything for Valentine's Day, but being the sweet girl she was, she decided to buy her boyfriend a basket of red, ripe tomatoes. She silently smiled to herself, and started walking towards the stand across the street. When she got there, she plainly asked for a basket of tomatoes, and the merchant nodded. Sakura then paid for them, and resumed her little walk.
Sakura was passing the Yamanaka Flower shop, when she saw Ino abruptly rush out of the little flower shop to greet her.
"Hey, Forehead!" Ino loudly hollered as soon as she spotted Sakura. Sakura deeply sighed. She was definetly not in the mood for this.
"Hey, Ino-pig..." She boredly greeted her rival and best friend. "What's up?"
"Shikamaru got me the cutest necklace!" Ino said, and started to describe her gift, but Sakura started spacing out, and she didn't pay any attention to Ino. "Sakura, what did Sasuke get you?" Ino asked cheerfully. However, the brightness immediatly drained from her face when she saw how Sakura was looking at her feet, and sadly frowning.
"No-thing, rea-lly... yet." Sakura nervously answered, stuttering over her tongue. She didn't want Ino to worry about her, so she lifted her face and tried to act normal, but failed miserably.
"Sakura... are you okay? Why don't you just dump him?"
"No! It's too early anyway. Besides, it wouldn't be like Sasuke to get anyone anything." Sakura quickly sighed, then continued on. "Don't worry about it, Ino. I'll be fine."
"Alright, Sakura. But be smart and put that huge forehead to use!" Ino commanded. Sakura lightly chuckled and whispered a light "thank you", and sprinted off. Her mouth had suddenly become insanely dry. She ran some more, until she reached her house. She walked inside, slammed the door and leaned her back against her wall. She stood there, burying her face in her hands, trying to cry. The tears would not come out. At this moment, Sakura had just learned it hurt more to not be able to cry than to be able to cry.
It was around lunch time, so Sakura made some lunch for herself.
GRUMBLE. The monstrous noise filled Sasuke Uchiha's small, yet spacey apartment. How could he be so hungry already? Perhaps it was from his previous frustration with buying the gift for Sakura. He had also forgotten to eat breakfast before he left in the rush.
GRUMBLE. There it went again. The noise continued, this time louder. It sounded like a lion burping up an ostrich. I'll eat somewhere out. I was going to go to Sakura's afterwards anyway, to give the present, Sasuke thought inwardly. He grabbed the gift, head out the door, and walked down to Ichiraku ramen.
When Sasuke reached the little outdoor restaurant, he could already see Naruto's orange outfit, along with somebody elses clothing, sitting next to him. Probably Hinata, Sasuke figured. He walked over to an empty stool on the other side of Naruto, and sat down, maintaining his monotone face. Sure enough, it was Naruto gobbling down his ramen in one slurp, and the shy Hinata just blushing and listening to Naruto's conversation. They noticed Sasuke.
Naruto spoke first, "Hey Sasuke-teme! What's up?" Naruto's light sky blue eyes glanced away from his empty ramen bowl to Sasuke, as he placed the bowl in a pile of ten others he alone had completed.
"Hn." Came the simple response. Naruto shortly sighed.
Hinata finally said something, "Hello. Where's Sakura-san?" She spoke timidly, and quietly. Both Naruto and Sasuke had to strain their ears just to hear her speak.
"Yeah, Sasuke! Did you even get her a gift?! You heartless bastard..." Naruto yelled, annoying Sasuke.
"Naruto-kun..." Hinata whispered, trying to calm her friend down.
"Actually, I was just going to give it to her." Sasuke coolly replied. "So you can shut up now." Sasuke added, his lips curved upwards, very, very slightly. Anyone would need to squint to see his tiny smirk.
"Whatever, you smartass." Naruto muttered, slouching down on his stool and pouting. "So where is this gift anyway?"
"It's right he-" Sasuke replied, but cut himself off, as he reached in his pocket. Sasuke quickly looked around the floor, looking for something. What he was looking for, however, was still unclear.
"Sasuke?" Naruto questioned his rival and best friend, slightly puzzled about Sasuke's odd behavior. Sasuke's face suddenly went pale, and he looked like he was about to throw up. But he didn't. Sasuke tried to maintain his cool, but he could not manage to pull his mask over his face.
Finally, Sasuke opened his mouth to speak. "It's gone." Sasuke stated.
This was going to be a long, long day.
