Not knowing much love in his life, Sabaku Gaara didn't understand why his one true friend was seemingly so happy about the date.
"How can you not understand V-Day?" Uzumaki Naruto sat in the Kazekage's office, mouth hanging open as he stared at his fellow Jinchuuriki.
Narrowing his eyes at not understanding something, Gaara opened his mouth. "What is there to understand? This Valentine's Day is there for girls to give boys hearts. They're not even real."
Naruto sweat dropped at his friend's declaration. "Well, they represent your heart."
Gaara nodded, still confused. "So these hearts are made of paper?"
Naruto smiled and nodded. "Yes!" He spread his arms out at all the pink and red paper covering the paperwork.
Gaara stared at the pink and his eye twitched. "What is this bright color?"
"It's called pink. It's um…a color of a heart, I guess."
Gaara leaned back, smug. "So this pink is used to blind while you attack?"
Naruto sighed. "Not exactly…"
Gaara frowned. "Then…"
Naruto cut him off. "You don't have to use the pink! How about red? You like red, yes?"
"It is closer to a true heart, yes."
Not wanting to know how his friend knew what a heart looked like, Naruto held up scissors. "Now take the red." He grabbed a red paper and handed both the paper and the scissors to Gaara.
Gaara stared at the items in his hand, nonexistent eyebrow raising.
Naruto sighed again. "Here." He took the paper and slowly began cutting a heart out. "Like this." He handed it back to Gaara.
Gaara stared at the cutout. "This is not a heart."
Naruto, finally fed up, threw his arms in the air. "Never mind! Just, keep it and give it to someone you like!"
"But I'm not a girl."
Naruto blinked. "Good point. Hmm…" He began to think as Gaara stared at the cutout in hand.
Naruto was about to answer when the door opened and Hyuga Neji walked in. "Naruto, Tsunada-sama wishes you back."
Forgetting about his friend, Naruto jumped up. "Thanks Neji!" Turning to the Kazekage, Naruto grinned and waved. "See ya, Gaara!"
He ran out the door, leaving Neji and Gaara staring after him. Clearing his throat, Neji stared at all the pink and red. "Um, Kazekage-sama, what may I ask were you and Naruto doing?"
Gaara ignored him and stared at the heart in his hand. Neji was about to ask again when Gaara stood up.
"Hyuga?"
"Yes?"
Gaara walked over, heart still in hand. "You are a skilled shinobi. One of the best I've seen."
Neji nodded slowly, confused. "Thank you Kazekage-sama."
The two ninja stood in silence for a few awkward moments. Neji was about to ask permission to leave when something red was handed to him.
"Kazekage-sama?"
"I don't understand, but here is my heart."
Neji took the heart and stared at it, feeling his cheeks pinken as he cursed himself for letting his emotions show.
Gaara turned back and began cleaning off his desk of all the blinding pink and red paper Naruto had left.
"Kazekage-sama?"
"Yes, Hyu…" Gaara turned to dismiss the ninja when he was met with a pair of lips.
Standing awkwardly for a few moments, Neji pulled away, staring at the stunned Kazekage.
"Hyuga?" Gaara asked, gathering his wits.
"Yes, Gaara?" Neji teased, throwing caution into the wind.
Gaara stared at him, then at the heart held in Neji's hand, standing in silence.
Deciding to take his leave, Neji gave Gaara one more kiss on the cheek then turned. "Can't wait until White Day, Gaara." He turned and left, leaving a stunned Kazekage behind.
Gaara stared at the closed door until Temari came in. "Gaara? Something wrong?" She asked, cautious to not evoke the ninja.
Gaara turned to Temari. "Temari. What is White Day?" A little smile was on his face, almost shocking Temari to death.
Me: That was an awkward ending
Fluff: KISS! -throws confetti in happiness-
Me: A lot shorter than my other one, but a little fluffier
and humorous.
Chibi: Will they have babies?
Me: -blinks- what?
Chibi: Nothing -smiles cutely as she huggles Gaara-plushie-
Me: -nods- okay…Once again reviews are like cake to me…
Angst: flame her! Tell her she's horrible!
Me: -pouts- that's it! No angst for you!
Angst: -eye twitches- what?
