I don't own Naruto at all
A/N: Finally! The last chap of this collection. I hoped you all have stayed with me through this and if you have thanks and those who had to take a few small breaks in between I understand. Well lets get to it.
You're My Valentine
By: Sheltie
Kin sighed. She looked at all around her and it just made her depressed. Her class had some of the most popular, most beautiful girls in the school. It just made her realized how plain and ordinary she was with her long brown hair, her glasses and plain average looking face. She kept her head down working on her assignment as the girls around her chatted about Valentine's Day. Yet another sore spot for her. She was single and probably will be forever. I mean, who'd look at her when there was some many beautiful girls around.
I'm the bruised peach among the great harvest she thought miserably.
That day was only a week away, but the buzz building up around it was already as loud as a buzzing beehive. The bell rang signaling the end of the period and the entire class filed out chattering away as they joined the rest of the school body in the halls making it into one big congestion.
"Stupid day, it's nothing, but a load of utter crock. All to sell jewelry and chocolates to those brainless to buy and accept them. They found a way to package and sell 'love'. Ugh, disgusting, all of it" Kin muttered under her breath.
"Yo Kin, what's got your panties in a bunch?"
Kin glared at her friend, Naruto Uzumaki.
"Oh, let me guess" Naruto said with a grin. He then placed his fingertips on Kin's forehead like he was trying to read her mind. He even closed his eyes to enhance his little game.
"I see, yes I see. You're angry at St. Patrick's Day. All the green" Naruto said sounding like a phony fortune teller.
Kin just glared at Naruto, who peeked to see her reaction.
"Okay, I see, yes I see that your upset that February is the shortest month of the year even when it adds an extra day to make it 29" Naruto said.
Again Kin glares at Naruto, who again peeks.
"Right, oh yes, the future is clearing the fog has lifted. I see, your upset that on Groundhogs Day that the groundhog saw its shadow" Naruto said.
Kin just glowers at Naruto.
"Fine, fine. I am getting close though" Naruto said, "I can see, yes, I see-"
Kin smacked his hand away from her forehead.
"You idiot, Valentine's Day. That stupid holiday" she said.
"That was totally my next guess" Naruto said.
"Yeah, right" Kin snorted.
"So what's so bad about that day, candy and love" Naruto said.
"It's all rigged" Kin said.
"Oh" Naruto said.
"The entire day has been commercialized to the highest degree. We're meant to buy jewelry, candy, and flowers. All sorts of crap to line the pockets of greedy pigs who don't even care about love just as long as they make a buck" Kin said.
"Cynical much?" Naruto asked.
"It's just stupid really. Love should celebrate every day really. Not just on one day" Kin said.
"Sounds like someone who doesn't have a main squeeze" Naruto said.
Kin punched Naruto in the arm.
"Ow, what was that for?" the blond asked rubbing his arm.
"You're supposed to nod your head and agree with me when I'm on my rant" Kin said.
"Sorry, but yes man isn't in my repertoire as friend" Naruto said.
"Whatever, I'm done. So what do you wanna do after school today?" Kin asked.
/Scene Break/
Valentine's Day
Kin arrived in the morning and took a deep breath. She walked in and there was so much red, pink and white. It looked the place was drowning in it. She cringed a bit at all the hearts in all shapes and sizes and then the cupids and other things related to Valentine's Day.
I forgot how this school goes all out on all the holidays she thought.
There was to be a Valentine's Day dance tonight since it's a Friday. Kin had a good feeling she'd be skipping it like she skipped most of the dances the school held. She headed to her locker to grab the books she'd need when she found something in her locker. It surprised her. She blinked then pulled it out. She stared at the envelope for a while then decided to open it.
Kin,
I know how you feel about this day, but I hope you will give me a chance. Will you be my Valentine? If you wish to know who I am come to the Valentine's Day dance tonight.
Your Secret Admirer
Kin never had a secret admirer before so she had no clue what to do. She did feel quite flattered to have one though. But she wasn't sure what to do. She looked the letter over and over again hoping it could provide some kind of hint, but nothing. Written on a blank sheet of paper and the penmanship was very nice.
What am I to do now she thought.
/Scene Break/
Throughout the day Kin mulled over her problem with no clear answer in sight.
"Yo Kin, what's got your head so high in the clouds today?" Naruto asked.
"Huh, nothing. It's nothing" Kin said.
She didn't feel like revealing that she had a secret admirer to Naruto. Sure, Naruto was a good friend of hers, but she really didn't want his teasing after her rant about Valentine's Day the other day.
"Fine, don't tell me. Like I care" Naruto said as he put on an exaggerated pout.
Kin rolled her eyes.
"So what are we going to do today? I figured since it's your most hated day that we can hang out. Maybe go to the batting cages?" Naruto suggested.
"No, I got plans. Maybe this weekend or something" Kin said.
"Alright, fine with me" Naruto said.
They left school.
/Scene Break/
Kin paced her room, the letter on her bed face up.
"Ugh, what am I going to do? Should I go or should I not? Why am I making such a big deal out of this?" Kin muttered to herself as she went to and fro.
With a final glance at the letter she let out a deep sigh and went to her closet hoping she was going to regret her decision.
/Scene Break/
Kin looked around feeling out of place at the Valentine's Day dance the school was holding. There were couples all around her and she was the only single.
Great, just great. I can't believe I'm here she thought.
Her eyes scanned around hoping to find something or someone that might give her a hint at who her secret admirer was. But nothing.
Maybe this was just a prank she thought dejectedly.
"So you came, I didn't think you would."
Kin spun around and her eyes widened.
"Naruto" she gasped.
"Yo Kin" Naruto greeted.
"But, you're, it's, that, my secret admirer" Kin bumbled out.
"Heh, yeah guilty as charged" Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his neck.
"But how, why?" Kin asked stunned.
Naruto smiled, a gentle smile as he tucked some of Kin's long brown hair behind her ear letting his knuckles to gently caress her cheek. Kin's face heated up from the touch. She had never felt these feelings before that were now rampaging through her entire being.
"Come on, lets find somewhere to talk" Naruto suggested.
"Yes talk, we need to talk" Kin said still unable to get all of her thoughts together.
/Scene Break/
Kin blinked as she found herself on the rooftop. Naruto somehow 'borrowed' the janitor's keys and gained access to the rooftop.
"We're going to get in so much trouble if we're caught" she said.
"Eh, no one will figure it out. No one comes up here anyway" Naruto said nonchalantly.
Kin wasn't too sure.
Naruto led Kin to a bench the rooftop had and they sat down.
"Right, well, I guess I always have liked you. Ever since we were little kids, but you never showed much interest in boys even when other girls our age did. So I just kept on as your friend since that satisfied me, until now" the blond said.
"You liked me?" Kin asked astounded by the concept.
"Heh, what's not to like Kin. You kick ass. You're not one of those dainty girls who cares more about their looks and you're not shallow. You know what you like and don't give a crap about what others think. You can hang with the guys" Naruto said.
"So you like me because I'm one of the guys?" Kin asked with a frown.
"Yes, and now. Kinda hard to explain I guess" Naruto said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"I guess, I'm confused too" Kin said.
"Yeah, but I do like you, I really do" Naruto said as he looked into Kin's dark eyes.
Kin could see the warmth and sincerity of Naruto's words and knew he wasn't playing with her. Her heart was thumping hard. She tried to swallow, but it felt like her mouth was drier than the Sahara.
"So what happens now?" she asked after a couple minutes of silence.
"Well I guess I ask the question and hope you give me an answer I'd like" Naruto said.
"Question?" Kin asked.
"Kin Tsuchi, will you be my Valentine?" Naruto asked.
Agai Kin felt her mouth go dry. She swiped her tongue across her lips. Her mind was in turmoil not too sure what to do since she's never been in this situation. But then a lone voice in her head screamed out the answer from all the chaos.
"Yes" she murmured.
Naruto smiled, "great."
"Now what?" Kin asked feeling relieved, but with a bit of apprehension still lingering.
"Well, would you mind if I kiss you?" Naruto asked nervously.
Kin's eyes widened at this. Her first kiss, here, now? This was moving so fast.
"We can wait, I know I'm putting on a lot on you right now" Naruto said backpedaling.
"Yes, thank you" Kin said relieved.
"So, we still on tomorrow for the batting cages?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, we are" Kin said.
"Great, our first date" Naruto said.
Kin's mind screeched to a halt. DATE?!
End
A/N: right, this ends the little collection I've done for this Valentine's 2016. I hoped you all enjoyed this collection whether you liked only one chap of this or more. I worked on all of these and tried to pick girls that I could write with some ease. There's just some girls I can write better than others, so I picked girls I could write. So if there's a girl or girls that are missing here then that means I had trouble writing them for this. Please leave a review to this if you feel like it, and I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day with those who you love and cherish.
