"s - sakura-chan..." he seemed a little shy and a little unsure. what he brings forward from behind his back is a beautiful bouquet of different various of pink and red roses with various hints of sakuras. he smiles so bright and confident with some chocolates to match. "ah, happy valentine's day, sakura-chan!" and as a bonus, there's a quick, fluttering kiss to her cheek.
She is speechless. Words had been stolen from her lips as the air had been from her lungs. Happiness unlike any other filled her chest like a wave: unstoppable, untamed and so powerful it overwhelmed everything else. Her entire being was completely drowned in such pure, immaculate joy that it threatened to spill from her eyes. Jades widened as normally fair cheeks became red, lips parted to a sharp intake of air while a delicate shiver of surprise and pure delight ran down her spine. In that moment the whole world became a blur. Sakura could only see Naruto and those flowers, highly aware of his every breath and warmth, it felt as if he suddenly was an extension of herself, another half to a soul that desperately desired to become whole. ❝N-Naruto…❞ his name slipped through her parted lips in a soft prayer, an almost silent cry for help. What a blessing it was to feel so desperately powerless and powerful at the same time, to have cold fingers while her chest burned so bright. What a delicious, scary emotion it was. Sakura relished in its eternal ephemerality as she desperately tried to hold it close to heart in hopes of forever keeping that emotion within her soul.
Looking at him, with the ghost of his lips upon her skin still haunting her, a decision was made. In an instant she had a hand in his hair, pulling him closer to press her lips against his while deft fingers sank into soft blond locks. Her arms circled his neck, careful not to crush the presents in her hands as she deepened the kiss, eager to imprint his very essence in her body. If he would surprise her like that she might as well take his breath away. Sakura carefully pulled away, remaining close enough that he could feel her breath as she whispered, ❝happy valentine’s day, Na-ru-to❞.
