February 14th.
To Uchiha Sasuke, February 14th meant nothing but a day of bright pink, white and reds. Not to forget – the fan girls. Oh my, how can anyone forget the fan girls? They were loud. They were obsessed. And most importantly – they were annoying.
Every Valentine's Day before he left, Sasuke would walk to the bridge to meet his team and find Sakura dressed up for Valentine's day – with the red and white outfit, along with her naturally pink hair. Then, after a minute of quiet contemplation, he would noticed that it was what she wore everyday and that he should know that after being in the same team for so long.
He always found it strange...that girls thought he would change his mind about them because of the date. Especially his teammate, Sakura. She seemed to cling to him even more and it annoyed him to no end. And even though it happened every year, Sasuke was still always surprised when Sakura would back off with a smile on her face when he told her she was annoying.
He never understood it. He still doesn't.
To Haruno Sakura, February 14th meant competition. All of Sasuke's fan girls would bother him to no end and it amused her to watch them try and fail. They would never back off, however, no matter how many times he told them they were annoying, they'd just keep at it. Maybe they thought that Sasuke would be impressed at their perseverance? Yeah, right.
Sakura – though she didn't want 'Sasuke-kun' to hate her – couldn't lose to them. She strove to be noticed, but not to the point that Sasuke would be avoiding her very presence...any more then he was at the time, that is. Sakura knew to call it quits when he called her annoying. That ended the 'competition'.
The rest of the day, she would act naturally, like it were any other day, because the facts were – it was. Sakura knew that she loved Sasuke, no matter what day it was. And she knew that if Sasuke were to like her, he wouldn't care what day it was either.
It was only when Sasuke noticed the unusual quiet during Valentine's Day in Sound and Sakura found nothing to compete over that they figured February 14th wasn't completely meaningless...
Because Valentine's Day always meant each other.
