*In honor of Valentines Day… here is a quick one-shot of Naru and Mai.

*Sorry for any Grammer mistakes and for oocness.

It was seven' clock when Mai came through the door of SPR.

"Lin, did you forget…" Naru's voice trailed off as he walked out of his office to see his part-time assistant walking through the door of SPR.

"Oh, hi Naru. I didn't expect to see you out of your office. I just came to pick up my jacket that I left here earlier," Mai said as she made her way to her desk to pick up her black jacket.

"I was actually closing up for the day," Naru said as he took in her appearance. Her short hair was slightly curled and she was wearing a short white flower-printed skater skirt with a light pink long sleeved crop top that showed her stomach which, was paired with some black ballet flats. He unconsciously clenched his fists at seeing his Mai showing that much skin.

Naru's POV

"You know, you can only call her yours if you were actually dating her" Gene said.

"Gene, get out of my head," I growled at him.

"But Noll, what if she meets someone at the party and decides to give him a chance" Gene whined.

"I don't care. She doesn't even like me she likes you" I said.

"You are such an idiot Noll. Tell her how you feel or else I will encourage her stupid plan to get over you," Gene said.

I just ignored my brother trying to block him at of my head. I didn't want to be reminded that the first girl I ever had feelings for, was in love with my dead brother.

"She does not love me, you idiot scientist," Gene hissed.

"Enough Gene! I don't want to talk about this any longer" I said as I put up my mental barriers, ending the mental conversation with Gene.

Regular POV

"Naru, are you okay?" Mai asked as she waved a hand in front of his face. This broke Naru's little reverie. He felt his face heat up a little seeing Mai so close to him, but he was able to hide his blush from her.

"I'm fine Mai, don't worry about me. Worry about yourself, I mean you are late for the party aren't you?" Naru asked nonchalantly . "But I guess you wouldn't really care about being late, seeing that you always come in late for work" Naru added. Mai blushed in embarrassment before retorting…

"Hey! I don't come late everyday, besides its pretty lame if you come really early to a party. I will happen to be perfectly on time, if you ask me" Mai huffed. "Anyways, I just came for my jacket. I would offer you to come to the party again, but I already know you answer so; I'm not even going to bother anymore" Mai said. She then bit her lip as if contemplating something.

Naru could not help but wince inwardly at her resigned tone. He knew she didn't have feelings for him, but at the thought of Mai not bothering with him anymore made him feel sad. He then noticed how Mai was biting her lip and could not help but want to kiss her lips. He wondered how they would taste like. He knew he shouldn't be thinking about his assistant's lips but he could not help it, they looked so inviting. He was so lost in his thoughts about her lips until he felt something, or rather someone hugging him. His daydream once again broken by Mai. It was a quick hug but he could feel a blush creeping up. He then noticed how Mai was blushing a deep shade of red as she pulled away from him.

"Happy, Valentines Day Naru" Mai said as she then proceeded to kiss Naru on the cheek. She then made haste for the exit and quickly slid out the door as Naru was left speechless…

*Happy Valentines day to all!

*I would have made this longer and detailed but I'm too lazy, I blame work. If I get some good feedback, I might extend it to a another shot?
