Prompt request: Sakura stresses over Sasuke's chocolates.
For the anon on my tumblr :) I hope this is good enough, I kinda sped through it but I reckon it should be ok!

The kitchen is a complete mess and Sakura is up to her elbows in dark chocolate recipes. She feels fat from so much trial and error, and she has enough ingredients to give every boy and man in Konoha a Valentine.
But Sakura just wants to give one gift to one man, and it just so happens that he hates sweets.
Sakura did research and decided to give savoury desserts a go. She can't very well give Sasuke his favourites, which are onigiri and omusubi - that isn't romantic at all!
She sighs and thinks about her boyfriend. This will be their second Valentine's together and she messed up the first one as well. They salvaged that day, Sakura remembers. Sasuke was actually very sweet in his own way…
Which is why she can't mess this one up. Sasuke might not care about things like this but Sakura wants to give it to him anyway. She has an entire life to give him the happy memories he missed out on.
And it starts with this heart shaped box, with her carefully constructed gift inside. The tomato cake tastes better than she expects, and the rich dark chocolate doesn't isn't too sweet at all. She hopes that the chilli isn't too much.
Putting the lid on the box Sakura gazes around the kitchen. She'll be late if she doesn't hurry so she undoes her apron and rushes to her room. It takes five minutes for her to be dressed and ready, and she hopes that she hasn't missed any flour marks; she should have showered afterwards instead of before.
"Please Kami-sama." Sakura prays as she picks up his present. She pauses though, and puts it back down on the counter.
Then, she bites her lip in deliberation and her eyes narrow. The kunoichi looks up at the ceiling and apologises, "I'm sorry Kami-sama." It's a soft whisper and she quickly makes her decision.
She hopes that Sasuke likes her gift; she'll find out at his place, in fifteen minutes -
but just in case…
Without remorse Sakura quickly undoes her bra - without taking off her shirt - and tosses it on the nearest chair.
If Sasuke doesn't like the present at least she has a back up plan.
