A/N: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! This may be a day earlier for some of you, depending on which timezone you guys are in. Anyway, I love Valentine's day, that one day where you are encouraged to let that special someone know your feelings... Sorry, I'm a romantic sap...

She smiled as the spiky-haired ninja came to mind. That face had been haunting her, whether awake or asleep, and she couldn't seem to shake him out of her head. Yet, he never acknowledged her. She knew him from pretty long ago, when they went up against each other during the Chuunin exams, but they hadn't talked afterwards. She never really felt anything then, it was only recently that she found herself oogling over the lazy ninja, feeling all nostalgic over the times when they were closer.
Tomorrow is Valentine's Day... She thought, sitting at her computer, unmoving. She looked at the text that she had typed. It seemed to represent her feelings. She played with the fonts and font sizes, stared at it some more, and finally gathered up her courage to print it.
The valentine was beautiful. Lovely red paper with cursive, black words that gave it an overall elegant and sophisticated feel. However, something was lacking.
" Roses are red
Violets are blue
You may not know this
But Shikamaru,
I like you."
it seemed fine, but something was missing. Like a signature. No! She can't just sign her name across the valentine, there was a reason she was sending it in secret!
She grabbed her pencil and scratched out a circle, with the ones on her fan in mind. I wonder if he'll find out, she mused.
Well, there was no turning back. The deed was done. Now... To deliver it.
