I forgot to say this earlier, I don't own Naruto! Oh but what a Valentine's Day I would have if Kiba were mine!!!
PICNIC.
Naruto and Sakura said goodnight to Kakashi as he left to file the mission report. Sakura had invited Naruto to dinner since it was Valentine's Day and neither had a date. Naruto could not pass up a free meal from his best friend.
"I'm not going out with you like that Naruto, you need to shower first." Sakura instructed. "We'll stop by your house first since it's closer."
"Fine." Naruto replied. The pair made their way to Naruto's apartment. Naruto entered slightly disappointed. For the last three Valentine's Day a secret admirer had left a gift on his doorstep. The first year a new weapons holster, soft leather with his initials. Nice. The second year was a coupon for three free ramens a week for a year at his favorite restaurant. Wonderful. Last year a coffee colored puppy, with the nametag Coy. Confusing. For two weeks he avoided Kiba in fear that Kiba was his secret crush. That theory went out the window when he saw Kiba with two different girls in the same night. Show off.
The doorstep this year was empty, and Naruto's heart felt a little sad. Pushing back the feeling of loneliness, he told Sakura to give him fifteen minutes to shower and change. The hot water felt good on his body.
"NARUTO, I'm going ahead to my apartment, meet me there!" Sakura shouted over the sound of the shower.
"Okay." He shouted back. He knew Sakura would take at least a hour to get ready, he stopped rushing. He stepped out of the shower and grabbed his towel. He looked up at the mirror and smiled. There in the steaminess of his bathroom, his mirror sported the words. 'after 3 years, will u b my valentine?'
The jinchuuriki opened the bathroom door to find his living room dark with only the flicker of candles. A blanket spread on the floor with flowers and a picnic basket.
"Hinata, how did you do this?" Naruto asked.
"I, well, I," stuttered the girl. Outside the apartment Naruto could hear muffled voices.
"Hinata just say it." Sakura said.
"Oh great we're losing her." Ino huffed. "All that work for nothing."
"Sssh Ino, you know this is hard for her." TenTen replied. "Come on Hinata you can do it."
"Hinata what does this mean?" Naruto was confused, but happy that Hinata was there in his apartment.
A part of him felt complete when she was beside him.
Hinata looked up and softly said, "Naruto, I've always loved you. Will you be my Valentine?"
Naruto blushed, crossing the room and planted a soft kiss on Hinata's cheek. "Yes, Hinata chan, just let me put some pants on first."
"Baka, you won't need them." Shouted Ino from the other side of the door, as TenTen and Sakura dragged her away.
