A/N: Not exactly what I wanted to post but whatever. This story is brought to you by the end of a mountain of schoolwork and finals.

Neji never really developed a taste for sweet things as a child. Candy existed for nothing more than its taste and often times, held no redeeming nutritional value. Plus, it made his former classmates bounce off the walls and ceiling (which was quite possible as ninja students and made Iruka-sensei yell very loudly), so as a result, he tended to avoid it on principle.

"You're just weird, Neji," the blond said to him, rolling his eyes skyward. He popped another piece of Valentine's Day candy into his mouth before a contemplative look crossed his face.

The Hyuuga wondered for a moment about the mischief it entailed and tried to back away. However, it was too late.

Naruto pounced and cupped his face with sticky, sweet fingers and grinned at him before giving him a kiss tasting mostly of strawberries and chocolate.

And Neji found himself not minding it at all.
