SUSH combo: High on Fluff

Sasuke's chocolate kisses

"Happy Valentines Day Sasuke-kun!"

A girl greeted me, handing out a small parcel to me, head lowered and face red. Why the hell do they keep on giving me useless things? Heck, if I get information about my brother, I'd sure would agree to be their date for a day but no, they give things like chocolates! Didn't I already mention I hate sweets? Then they cook me food, I appreciate it but with these crazed fans, you'll never know when to be careful, what if they put something in it to make me head over heels in love with them? Hell no, I already shudder just at the thought of it. I try to be, well, rather, I am purposely being a jerk so that they could stop being so damn persistent; but then, they just squeal and giggle at me, if I were to try the opposite, I'll just gain more of them.

"Sorry, I don't know you, and I don't give a damn to what it is." I said coldly and turned my back to her, leaving her stare at me with puppy dog eyes. Feh, like I'd fall for that. Actually, I did once, but not just from any girl, no… it was from her.

Cherry petals came falling from a Sakura tree and I stopped in my tracks to watch them sway with the wind. "Sakura…" why am I thinking of her? I don't know. It just happened one day, when we came back from a mission, when she nearly got killed for trying to be stronger. She wanted to prove to me, Naruto and Kakashi-sensei, that she was no longer the childish Sakura we knew, nope, she has indeed bloomed into a mature and responsible girl, in fact, when I jumped right in between her and the jutsu that was about to kill her, I lost all feeling of staying alive and avenging my clan just as long as she was safe. Speaking of which, I haven't seen her since yesterday, and she didn't even ask me on a date, nor did she greeted me a "happy V-day".

"Probably figured I would just reject…" I sighed at the thought. Actually, to tell the truth, I've been giving it a lot of thought last night, that if she were to ask me to be her Valentine, I'd accept. Heck, she deserves it, and I feel that I can at least try to repay her for always supporting me all the way despite my attitude. If she won't ask me and would just give me a gift, I'd ask her to be my Valentine, but then, no Sakura came to me… only the pink petals.

"Where are you? I can't believe I'm even looking for you…"

Haruno Sakura: Her name, face, voice and eyes already makes my heart beat twice then normal, makes my stomach do flip flops, my knees buckle and feel like jelly, and she makes my cheeks turn red hot. This is the feeling people call signs and symptoms of being in love. Just the thought of her makes me want to hide, just seeing her makes me stand rooted to the spot, even if I put up an expressionless face, deep down, I'm actually melting. Why else do you think I brush her off quickly? I don't want her to see me weak in the knees and stutter, thank goodness I've had practice with rejecting and masking my emotions, otherwise, everyone would've found out that-

"Sasuke-kun..!"

"Shit."

I turned my head and saw them, my dreaded fan girls; I'd rather face a thousand ninjas than them. By instinct, I jumped off to a tree; most of those girls were civilians, so there's no way all of them can keep up with my speed. With that thought, I smirked and head off elsewhere, far away from them, not caring where as long as I'll be away from them.

"That's it, I need a date!" I thought bitterly. "I need to escape these…" I looked at them and sweat dropped, watching how they had the urge to rip each other's heads off. "…creatures." Someone pulled me back when I was about to jump onto another tree. I sat up on the thick branch of the old oak and rubbed the back of my head. My eyes followed the stampede of girls who kept yelling my name and running off elsewhere. It would look as if they were running away from me if I wasn't way up here. I sighed in relief and turned to the one who saved me the trouble for escaping them and for wasting more of my energy.

"Tha-" I stopped as my eyes widened and my cheeks turned red. Speak of the girl I was just thinking about, there she was, standing before me with her pretty smile on her face. "Sakura..?" I whispered, hesitant to even speak. "Um…" I averted my gaze elsewhere and muttered a "thanks" to her before getting up and dusting invisible dirt off of my clothes.

"You're welcome." She replied and my stomach somersaulted at the sound of her voice. Okay, maybe I'm starting to like this occasion despite the trouble I have to go through every morning until the end of the day. Better get this over with.

"Sa-" I got cut off when she shoved me a box. I raised a brow at it.

"It's not chocolate or anything sweet." She said, smiling even more. "Just a gift to show that I care, I hope it would be of good use to you!" she turned her back on me and walked away, jumped off the branch then looked back up at me with a smile. "Happy Valentines Day Sasuke-kun!"

I lowered my head. "That's it?"

"Huh?" she was confused. "What do you mean?"

I jumped down from the tree. "Stay." I demanded and she obliged though. She gave a nod and leaned on the tree then began to hum a soft tune. I listened to it, secretly enjoying her melodious tone at the same time beginning to open the box. Inside it was a blue scarf which I guessed she made on her own. On the very end was an Uchiha fan and below it were my initials. I smiled; a true smile. I couldn't hold it, it just… came out all of a sudden and I didn't regret it. That smile boosted my confidence to ask her.

"Thanks Sakura, and there's something I've been wanting to ask you since the day started."

"What is that?"

"Would you be my Valentine?"

She blinked and blushed at my question and I returned it with a smirk and leaned closer to her, our faces an inch apart. "Do you want to go out with me or not?" I asked, this time, it was my turn to be annoying.

"O-of course…" she whispered, head lowered. I teased her a bit. "What was that? I can't hear you, could you repeat your answer?" she blushed a deeper shade of red, cute. Her green eyes then looked back at me confidently. "I will Sasuke-kun! I'd love to!"

"Heh, thought so." I answered and the two of us left the forest. We walked through the busy streets of Konoha, passing by couples who walked hand-in-hand and arm-in-arm. Our eyes caught sight of a girl who hugged her date's arm and her head resting on his shoulders. She looked happy and content and the guy was too. My eyes caught her staring at the couple with a flash of wanting in her eyes and a small smile on her lips. I smirked and raised my left arm to her. She was a bit startled and looked at me, asking if she could. I simply nodded and gave a reassuring smile. Second smile for the day, new record Sasuke!

Sakura blushed and smiled brightly, hugging my arm enthusiastically yet I didn't mind even if she would embrace it tighter. "Oh yeah, did I ever tell you why you're annoying?" her grip tightened. "Wanna know why?" she looked up at me with sad eyes and I suppressed a laugh. "It's because you're always on my mind when I wake up and before I go to sleep." She blushed even more and her eyes widened in surprise. "Thing is," I said, not holding back. I told myself that I'd tell her so I will. "If you do consider worrying about you all the time and protecting you with my life as love, then, I guess I love you." She smiled at me. I do recall my mom telling me what love is and I gave the exact same reason to Sakura.

"I… love you too…" she replied meekly.

"Hey, I haven't given you my gift." I said and she stopped walking as I did so too then faced her, grabbed her shoulders and lowered my head to her. "I don't have chocolates but I think this will do." And I closed my eyes and captured her lips, claiming them mine. She shyly returned it and I smirked in triumph. We parted and I whispered something to her ear and she giggled at it. What was it you ask? Well… if you wanna know…

"That's how I like my chocolate kisses."

Yep, she ate chocolates today and I added the kiss. Huh? I hate sweets? Yeah, I hate eating sweets but tasting them is my hobby as of today. You do get it, don't you? Well, tough luck if you don't! Not my loss or my problem! Now, let me be in peace with my one and only cherry blossom.

"You know what?"

She turned to me as we walked through the park, the sun was beginning to set so I was just taking her to a stroll then to her home to end the day and the date.

"I'm starting to like Febuary 14th."
