Uchiha Sasuke breathed heavily at the sky and clutched his bag.

He's late.

The clouds were painted a pale grey and light rays of sunshine shone through them, reflecting off his raven hair. Kicking at a stone absently, the stoic Uchiha remembered how much he hated this day. Until last year when he met his dobe.

His birthday was on 23 July, dammit. Today wasn't his birthday.

And yet their awesome principal came up with the awesome idea of selling awesome balloons and awesome chocolates to the awesome school so they could give those awesome gifts to their awesome beloved ones on this awesome day.

Awesome.

Being the ever handsome and popular boy, he was instantly bombarded with helium in rubber bags and lumps of milk and sugar by the Fangirls. Led by the bipolar Haruno Sakura and vain Yamanaka Ino.

Shifting uncomfortably under the weight of his presents, he groaned. He was never going to hail a cab at this rate. Sasuke turned his head and saw a blond head coming towards him at a deadly speed.

"Teme!"

"You're late, dobe."

Sasuke smirked and ruffled his best friend's hair. Naruto grinned.

"Didn't go on without me, did you?"

"Tried to, but thing is, no cab driver actually takes you seriously when you're standing at the side of the road with about 60 balloons and 35 chocolates in tow. Give me a hand, I'm floating away soon."

Naruto stuck out his tongue and untied his own 12 balloons from his school bag.

1 balloon for every month we're together. Complete with a proud SxN printed on each one.

The adorable blond boy grinned happily as he released all 12 balloons into the sky and kissed his lover's cheek.

"Happy Valentines' Day, asshole."
