Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Sasuke raised an eyebrow as he read the note again.

Sasuke,

The day the middle rose dies is the day I stop loving you.

Naruto

Why would the blond send him something like that? Could it be a joke? He knew Naruto was one to joke…but would he really joke about this?

"Hn, time to have a talk with the dobe." Sasuke thought as he put the note in his pocket and made his way outside.

[Scene Break]

"Ino," Naruto whined. "What if Sasuke thinks I'm weird for giving him that? And that note I made up was so silly! He's going to hate me and make fun of me!"

"No he won't! Stop saying that! It's so sweet. I sure wish a guy would do that for me." Ino said, eying Shikamaru who was currently lounging on a chair, waiting for her to get out so he could take her somewhere for Valentines Day. Sure, it was troublesome for him, but she was forcing him to do it!

"Okay Shikamaru, let's go! My mom will watch the shop." Ino said, snapping Shikamaru out of his daydream. She pulled him up and walked to the door.

"Don't worry about it Naruto, I'm sure Sasuke was happy about it!" With that, the chimes to the door could be heard as they walked out.

Naruto sighed and left the flower shop as well. There was no point in staying there any longer.

[Scene Break]

He walked towards his house with his hands in his pockets, watching the other couples being all giddy over each other. He sighed as he looked in front of him, but suddenly stopped when he saw Sasuke. His eyes widened and he turned around slowly, hoping Sasuke wouldn't see him.

"Naruto." Sasuke called out.

'Damn.' Naruto thought as he turned back around.

"Hi Sasuke-teme! What brings you here today? I thought for sure you'd be hiding from your fan club!" Naruto said, hoping Sasuke wouldn't mention anything about the note.

"Yes, but I wanted to find someone who sent me flowers. You see, they also sent me an interesting note." Sasuke stated.

"O…oh?" Naruto said.

"Yes, would you like to see it dobe? It's very sweet." Sasuke asked, and Naruto raised an eyebrow.

"No, not really!" Naruto said quickly.

"Oh? Well, that's a shame." Sasuke said as he took out the note and handed it to Naruto. Naruto looked at him before taking the note and opening it, reading it quickly.

"Heh…it's a bit girly ne?" Naruto asked handing it back to Sasuke.

"Why yes, yes it is. So why would you write something girly Naruto?" Sasuke asked, and Naruto tensed up.

"I…I, uh…" Naruto muttered. He knew it was a mistake to write it. He knew Sasuke was going to hate him and make fun of him! Damn it! That was the last time he was ever going to take advice from Ino!

"Is it a joke? Is that it?" Sasuke asked, sounded a tiny bit angry. Naruto sighed.

"No, it's no joke…I really do…" Naruto began.

"Really do what?"

"…really do love you Sasuke." Naruto said. He was looking down at the ground. He didn't want to look at Sasuke because he didn't want to see the rejection in his eyes.

"I see. Come on, let's go." Sasuke said as he took Naruto by the arm, dragging him…somewhere.

"Eh? Go? Go where?" Naruto asked.

"It's Valentines day isn't it?" Sasuke asked, and Naruto nod his head. "Well, couples normally go out on Valentines day. So I guess I'll take you out to dinner and then we'll see a movie and get ice cream or something. After that I'll take you home."

"What? Sasuke?" Naruto was shocked. Everything was happening to fast. His head was spinning!

"Are you that dense dobe? I'll say it so you can understand it better: I love you too."

"Eh? You do?" Naruto yelled out. He was so happy!

"Yes, now let's go."
