Presents

Lee quietly walked down the streets of Konoha. The city was only waking up just now, kids leaving for academy, shops opening, the sun rising. Everything seemed so peaceful while his mind and heart were more then troubled. He couldn't stop blushing thinking about the events that had occurred mere moments ago. When he had woken up, the kunoichi he held so dear in his arms staring intently at him, her nose only mere inches away from his, it had made him feel as if he truly were in heaven. Even though he had mentally kicked himself for being so very impolite.

He couldn't get the kunoichi out of his mind and stopped walking. Fine, if it was like that, he would simply have to agree with his…heart. He smiled as the new day brought him new courage and new hope. Perhaps today he would be able to make the girl his. After all, if he wasn't extremely mistaken, he had seen her blush as well when he had opened his eyes. Aha, yes, he would shop, shop, and shop for the girl he held so dear. After all, even though he hadn't noticed it, he had slept from the 13th February to the 14th. Today was valentine's day. And he had woken up with Sakura in his arms! That had to mean something right?

Besides… he didn't think anyone would give Sakura any valentine's gift today anyway. Lee wasn't even sure if Sakura's friends even knew about her current situation. Lee sighed and rubbed his still weary eyes as he decided that he was quite a mess and that he would run home to take a shower first. Lucky for him, he encountered no one on his way there, and so he didn't have to explain the blood on his clothes he so desperately wanted to get rid of now. He finally arrived at his house and unlocked the door. He turned on the lights and immediately ran into his bedroom, towards his closet. He yanked out another jumpsuit and ran to the bathroom next.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Rock Lee. He was Rock Lee. She was Sakura Haruno. Them together would mean… Sakura couldn't help but blush at the thought. Yup, something was very wrong with her. Now…Sasuke Uchiha. That was a real man. She thought about him, finding her cheeks to stay as pale as they normally were. She frowned. What kind of an awful person was she? Could she forget about Sasuke so easily? She couldn't now could she? Sasuke had everything she wanted in a man. He… was handsome and… talented… and very…er…distant, impolite, uncaring, infuriating. A betraying fool. In short, an S-class jerk.

She sighed as realization dawned on her. While Lee was… not at all handsome…well, that was, he was cute. And sure, he had those deep dark eyes, and his hair was really, really soft. And his body was quite muscular. Alright, so Lee had the potential to be handsome if it wasn't for Gai. He had no talent whatsoever…but he worked hard. And he truly was a genius of hard work… hence his muscular body. Sakura found herself giggling slightly at the thought. He was always so very polite, kind, sweet, gallant. And he was so very caring! Perhaps… there was a slight chance that Sakura had truly been mistaken all those years and that the real man had been Rock Lee all this time.

She glanced at the 'breakfast' she had cast aside several moments ago. It had been cold, very, very nasty and way too healthy for her liking. She had taken one bite and spat it out. She'd rather be hungry for weeks if she needed to be then eat the poisonous food shoved in front of her nose so carelessly. She sighed as she looked outside. She noticed a lot of couples today. How awkward. She blinked a few times when suddenly she remembered the reason for all this public flirting and kissing. Today was 14 February, which would mean it was valentine.

She sighed. Oh well. She didn't really deserve a valentine anyways. She was just too… mean. She fidgeted with her blanket and pulled it up to her chin. It was really cold. The warmth she had found to be scary earlier on, she was wishing for right now. Oh, if only Lee could've stayed a bit longer. She looked away from the window and towards the door. Visiting hours were about to start, right? She thought so. She… hoped so.

"Sir, I told you, you must wait for 5 more minutes." Sakura listened in curiosity to what seemed to be going on. Whatever it was, it would distract her from her boredom. "But miss, can you not see that I am struggling here? Can you not grant me these 5 minutes? I am sure she will not mind." Well… that voice sounded oddly familiar. Sakura giggled as she listened to the conversation. Lee. He was as cute as always. "Sir, it's hospital policy. You were already granted a huge privilege this night!" the nurse screeched. She even seemed fearful, which Sakura didn't quite understand. Who could ever be afraid of Lee?

"You are right, forgive me." Lee's voice sounded once more. "I will wait." Sakura burst out laughing. She must've looked pretty odd there, laughing at nothing in particular, all alone in her room. But oh, how the laughter helped her out. She forgot her pain, she forgot all of her bad thoughts, she forgot about her sorrow. All she could do was laugh. Oh, Lee could be such a funny guy at times. "Excuse me." Sakura heard someone say, and suddenly, her door swayed open. Sakura picked up a glance from a very confused Lee before the door closed again. "Is something the matter miss Haruno?" the nurse asked friendly.

Sakura wiped away the tears her laughter had brought forth with her good hand and shook her head. "No, I'm fine, just something funny that happened outside." The nurse raised an eyebrow but said nothing about the matter anymore. Instead, she glanced at the plate of food that hadn't even been touched. "Are you not hungry miss Haruno?" she asked. Sakura was already disliking the nurse and her stuck up ways. But knowing that Lee was outside waiting kept the smile on her face. "Not at all." Sakura cheerfully replied. The nurse simply hmphed, reminding Sakura of Neji, took the plate and excited the room again.

Mere seconds later, Lee poked his head inside the room. "Is the coast clear?" he asked. Sakura smiled and nodded. Lee came in completely, his arms loaded with bags. Sakura's eyes widened as she saw the boy stumble inside with all sorts of things. "Lee, what's going on?" she asked, not at all understanding what was going on. "Valentine of course." Lee responded cheerfully. Sakura giggled. He really was cute.

Lee fished in the first bag and took out a huge bouquet of red roses, presenting them to Sakura. Sakura gasped, staring in awe at the flowers. "Lee, they're beautiful." Sakura commented. Lee smiled and put the roses in a vase that was put down on the closet for just such an occasion. "They are for a beautiful girl, Sakura." Lee responded. Sakura blushed and at the same time, her stomach growled. Lee laughed at this.

"You are a terrible liar Sakura, do you know this?" Lee asked. Sakura blinked. "Telling that nurse that you were not hungry, just like that." Lee explained. Sakura grinned sheepishly. Lee grabbed something in another bag and took out a huge basket of fruit. "Do not worry, I fully well understand how terrible the food here is." Sakura accepted the basket happily, squealing in delight. Lee smiled and grabbed something else. "And this is for after." He whispered into Sakura's ear, giving her a box. Sakura opened it to see a nice apple pie. She grinned. "Hide it." Lee whispered. "Or they'll take it away." Sakura nodded and shoved it underneath her bed.

Troughout the day, Lee would occasionally give Sakura more presents out of his bags, when finally, they were empty. It was at that exact moment that the nurse came in telling them that Lee would have to leave in 5 minutes. She left after that. Lee got up from his seat. "Well…" he started. "Hide." Sakura interrupted him. Lee blinked. "What?" he asked. "Hide underneath my bed." Sakura said, smiling a devilish smile. Lee wasn't sure what to say. "Please?" Sakura begged, her big pleading eyes practically forcing him to say yes. "Anything for you, my angel." Lee said, and got on his knees, slithering underneath the bed.

"Do you think this is going to work?" Lee's muffled voice sounded. "Sure thing Lee, but be quiet for a minute, okay?" No response came from Sakura's request and she was happy to see he understood. And when finally, the nurse came back to check, she saw that Lee was gone, and left without saying a word, obviously pleased to have the boy out of the way, slightly less displeased at the sight of all of Sakura's gifts, knowing she herself didn't have even one. They waited for a few more moments before Lee emerged again and sat down on the edge of Sakura's bed. She motioned for him to come closer as if wanting to whisper something. Lee understood this as not wanting to alert the nurse and leaned in to hear what Sakura had to say.

"I have but one present for you, Lee." Sakura said. "close your eyes." Lee obliged. He didn't expect Sakura to give him a present and was very curious as to what it possibly could be. Then suddenly, he felt something press up against his lips in what almost seemed to be a… kiss. Lee slowly opened his eyes to find Sakura's lips pressed against his own, her eyes closed. His first kiss with his first love. He couldn't have wished for a better present.

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
