A/N: Whoo! A one-shot! Hee hee! I had such great fun with this! This is my second fanfiction, and I must say that I'm a lot happier with the end result of this one than I am with my Christmas fic… even though it's not done yet. ;; eh-heh.

Well, my Twelve Days of Christmas fic is a little long, so I took a break to write THIS! Wonderful seasonal fic! I mean, c'mon people! It IS nearing the end of January. Might as well get in the spirit of things.

I have decided that I am most definitely a one-shot writer. Ahhh… It makes life so lovely. ahem

Anywayz…

Throughout this entire piece, the phrase "Kiss me, you wicked savage!" kept running across my mind… Hence the title.

Tried to keep them a little more in character. I didn't get to do any Naruto-babble (as I like to call it), but that's OK. I like WAFF every now and again.

…

I really wanna write a lemon… o;

Kiss me, you wicked savage!

Naruto woke up with a great yawn and a stretch. It was a lovely February morning, and the sun, while not bright, still glistened off of the frosted trees and the piles of snow on the rooftops of the homes of the people in Konohagakure Village. Naruto glanced out his window and smiled at the surreal sight. He jumped out of bed and pressed his seventeen-year-old hands and nose against the freezing glass of his window. His hot breath fogged the glass and his cheeks were soon rosy with chill. He laughed softly.

"It's finally here!" He exclaimed, dashing off to the shower.

Fifteen minutes later, Naruto exited the bathroom followed by a thick trail of steam, and drying his disheveled blonde locks. He rummaged through his drawers for clothing, finally settling for a black turtleneck, covered by an orange t-shirt with a black stripe running down the sides, and dark-blue pants. He then grabbed his hiteate headband, and tied it loosely around his neck like a cowboy's bandanna.

He walked into the kitchen and grabbed the blue package sitting on the table. Naruto held it lightly in both hands, giving it a grin and a look of total determination.

"Today's the day!" He said, letting out a deep breath. Naruto walked towards his door, grabbed his orange, red, and black jacket and rushed out the door. He was nervous, nervous beyond belief. The butterflies in his stomach wouldn't leave him be, and his heart was pitter-pattering away. He swallowed hard and opened his door, stepping outside.

"It's Valentines day!"

On the other side of Konoha, Uchiha Sasuke was not having a good morning.

He had woken up to the sound of his doorbell, which was odd considering the fact that he had smashed it to bits after Christmas. Usually, this would be okay, but when it keeps ringing and ringing and ringing like a goddamn alarm clock that you can't turn off, it isn't. Groaning and getting out of bed, Sasuke looked out his window. His eyes closed as he mentally prepared himself for his annual torture.

But first, a shower.

Sasuke took his time eating and dressing. His ears had finally become so accustomed to the incessant ringing, that he hardly realized it was there. But it was, and with that ringing came the one thing he feared and hated above all else.

Fangirls.

Sqealing, clinging, huggy, goo-goo-eyed, obsessive, persistent, fangirls. He shuddered.

Going outside on a holiday was like taking a run through the gauntlet.

"Morning, Sakura-chan!" Naruto shouted in his usual, loud style with a cheery wave. The cherry-haired girl looked up from her shopping list and smiled at him. She was wearing a deep red jacket with white-fur trim along the sleeves, collar, and hem, and white mittens. Her green eyes sparkled with intelligence and cheeks were pink from the bitter air.

"Morning, Naruto. What're you up to?" The young Jounin grinned wider.

"Stuff." He answered. It was then that Sakura noticed the parcel he was carrying.

"Hey, who's that from?" She asked.

"No one." He replied. Her eyes widened and she smiled coyly.

"So who's it for?" Naruto felt himself blush, though the grin never left his lips.

"Guess!" Sakura squealed in delight, then hugged her former teammate.

"EEEE! Naruto! I so happy for you! I didn't think you had the guts to do it!" He puffed out his chest when she let go.

"Well, I do!" She giggled.

"Well good luck!"

"Thanks! I'll need it…" He said with a sweat drop. Naruto turned to leave when Sakura spoke up again, noticing his choice in direction.

"Eh? Naruto? Are you going over there now?" He nodded.

"I don't… think that's a good idea…" She said softly, nibbling lightly on her thumbnail.

"What? Why not?" He asked. She replied with a sigh.

"Because… well… you see…" She bit her lip. "Now's just… not the time. Do it later, ne?"

"I won't have the courage to do this later, Sakura-chan!" Sakura rested a hand on his shoulder.

"I know, it just… better if for both of you if you don't go now."

"But—" He started to protest but she held up a finger to silence him.

"Trust me, Naruto! Valentines day is… difficult for Sasuke. He's never in a good mood." Naruto cocked his eyebrow.

"Has he ever been in a good mood?" They both chuckled at this.

"…You know what I mean."

"Whatever. Later!" He waved to her and ran off towards the Uchiha mansions. Sakura sighed and walked off in the other direction glancing down at her shopping list from time to time.

Maybe I should take cover at Lee's for a little while…

To say Sasuke was unhappy or annoyed would be an understatement.

Hell, he was miserable.

For the past half an hour, Sasuke had gotten no more than fifty feet from his back door, and he was severely tempted to use a massive Chidori on the obstructions.

They clung to his hands and they clung to his feet. They thrust boxes upon boxes of god knows what towards him, and they wouldn't… leave him… alone… Sasuke felt his eyebrow twitch.

Every year, he had to find another escape route out of his house because every year his house was surrounded by his fans. In the past, he'd climb out an upstairs window and hop across roofs to get away. Sometimes he'd jump out his window into a tree before escaping into the woods.

But this year, the girls were better prepared. They barricaded his doors, swarmed his roof, perched on every available tree branch, and even sat on his bulkhead door. He groaned as another infatuated girl shoved a bottle of very pungent cologne under his nose. He was wondering why he even bothered to leave his house today when he heard a very familiar, and very loud, voice, calling him.

"OI! TEME!" Naruto shouted, waving his arm high above his own head in greeting.

Then, everything went quite.

A whoosh sound was made as every Sasuke-fangirl at the Uchiha estates turned to glare at the loudmouth. He paled.

Uh-oh…. Naruto thought. Maybe I should have listened to Sakura…?

"Dobe…" Sasuke muttered under his breath. You couldn't tell from the expression on his face, but he was very relieved at the appearance of his former teammate. He was about to escape when the crowd uttered a low growl.

"Don't call Sasuke-kun a bastard, you asshole!"

"Yeah!"

"You're the bastard!"

"How dare you defile Sasuke-kun!" Naruto's heart stilled. After being around the villagers for all seventeen years of his life, he had become very sensitive to hate.

"Ah… Ch-ch-chotto… chotto-matte, ne!" Naruto stammered, backing away from the angry mob.

"Baka dobe…" Sasuke sighed before leaping into the air, landing gracefully beside Naruto, and transporting them away before the fangirls could touch them. The females' shrieks of dismay could be heard all over Konoha when they realized that Sasuke was gone.

Sasuke and Naruto appeared at team seven's old training grounds with a faint poof. Naruto was in a cold sweat, and Sasuke was relieved.

"What's wrong, dobe?" Sasuke asked in his deep baritone voice. Naruto's eyes snapped wide-open, as if being shaken from some sort of trance.

"Ah… N-nothing." He felt his confidence waver for the first time that day. Sasuke had so many admirers. So many gorgeous girls… what would it matter if he gave Sasuke another present? He'd probably throw it away.

"Ne… Sasuke?"

"Hn?" He said in his usual bored tone.

"Who were they?" Naruto was genuinely curious. Sasuke closed his eyes in annoyance at the memory.

"My…admirers." He said bitterly. His friends eyes widened.

"You have THAT MANY?" He gasped.

"Yes."

"And they all give you presents?"
"Hn."

"Every year?"

"Every holiday." Sasuke hissed.

"Wow…" Naruto muttered in a crestfallen sort-of voice. It was then that Sasuke noticed the blue package still in Naruto's hands.

"Dobe, what's that?" He asked, pointing to it. Naruto's heart beat furiously. Now was his chance to give his gift to Sasuke, but… suddenly it didn't seem like such a good idea. He thought fast.

"This? Oh it's… a… a… a valentine!" He stated truthfully.

"I know that. Who's it from?" The taller of the two was genuinely curious, but was doing his best to mask it.

"Uh… It's… from… um…" There was a thrumming in his ears. Was his heart really that loud? His mind raced to come up with a name.

"Hinata-chan!" He exclaimed finally. The Uchiha raised an eyebrow.

"Hinata?"
"Yeah! I was gonna show you… but I guess It doesn't matter because you've got so many… I can't even compare with this." Naruto said softly, catching himself at the last minute when he realized that he almost slipped up.

"It doesn't matter. I don't take any of their gifts." Sasuke stated, still pondering the giver of Naruto's gift.

"Still!" Naruto whined, trying to suppress his depressing thoughts.

"Hn. Whatever, dobe." Sasuke smirked, and ruffled Naruto's hair.

"Hey! Don't call me that, teme!" He attempted to bop Sasuke on the back of the head, but his hand was caught.

Naruto gasped at the contact. Sasuke was gripping his hand lightly, sending gently jolts of electric energy tingling through his body. He swallowed when his innocent blue eyes locked with the burning charcoal ones of his friend. Naruto felt himself blush involuntarily when he felt the black eyes search his.

They stayed like that for a few moments before Naruto snapped out of it and ran off yelling a quick "See ya, teme". Sasuke just shook his head.

"Moron…" Sasuke muttered. "Hinata's dating Kiba. She wouldn't give you a valentine of that size. What are you hiding?"

Naruto's heavy breathing created small clouds of fog over his heaving chest. He hunched over, resting his hands on his knees with the package tucked neatly under his arm.

"Stupid, stupid, STUPID Naruto!" He cursed at himself, shaking with adrenaline and slight embarrassment.

He took a deep breath to steady his breathing, and sat down on the cold hard surface of the stone platform carved above the fourth Hokage's head on the Hokage Mountain.

Why did this have to be so difficult? Why couldn't he just fall in love with some girl instead of twittering around a crush involving someone so…male. He sighed and buried his face in his arms that were hugging his knees.

Sasuke was special to him. He didn't know why, he didn't know how, and he didn't know when. All he knew was that his heart beat uncontrollably whenever the other was around, and it was a heartbeat that played the rhythm part to a song he didn't know. But it wasn't a dangerous song like the one that played when they battled at the Valley of End. This song was loud, but soft, gentle, but insistent, and sweet, yet bitter at the same time. And this song invoked an emotion so deep that it couldn't be shaken. An emotion that made his stomach want to do flip-flops, summersaults, cartwheels, and an assortment of other gymnastic ditties, and yet, he couldn't move at all.

Okay, so maybe he did know why he was special. His rival was perfect in all aspects of the word. Handsome, strong, respected, and drop-dead sexy. But to Naruto, those aspects took the backseat to the little things that he loved, yes loved, about Sasuke. The way he laughed when he did, as it was rare; the way he showed his care to his friends through the most unconventional of means; the way he moved, the way he ate, and even in the way he spoke. Everything the stoic boy did sent shivers of excitement up Naruto's spine.

But it's not like he'll feel the same way about me… Heck, I doubt he'd even accept my valentine… Naruto thought with a small sigh.

Sasuke spent the next part of his day asking his fangirls if anyone (and he does mean anyone) had given his blonde friend a valentine of any sort. This was difficult, seeing as they were so enamored with Sasuke himself, that it took a LOT of persuasion to get them to switch to 'gossip gear'.

But he did get information out of them (he was an Uchiha after all), and discovered to his complete bewilderment, that Naruto had not been given a valentine at all today.

So what was the dobe doing with that Valentine? Sasuke pinched the bridge of his nose while he thought. He was currently perched on the very upper-most branches of one of the tallest trees in Konoha, and he could still hear those goddamned girls screeching and cooing his name. He sighed in irritation.

There's only ONE person who I want to say my name that often and in that tone… Sasuke hissed to himself, smiling faintly and almost blushing at his Icha-Icha like thoughts of his important person.

He shook his head. There was a more pressing matter at hand.

With his ninja speed and dexterity, he leaped away, in search of his beloved dobe.

Naruto glared at his gift. He had finished his pity-party, and was now proceeding onto phase two of his yearly angsting session: getting mad at inanimate objects.

"Stupid gift…" He growled, griping the box so tight he tore holes into it.

"Sasuke isn't going to take my gift, he never is…" He stood up suddenly.

"Feh! What do I care? That bastard gets so many valentines that one more isn't going to make a difference!" For a moment, Naruto forgot that he was still holding the box, and when he flung his arms out in an exasperated action, the gift went flying. Naruto's eyes widened when he became conscious what just happened.

"Oh. Shit." He almost squeaked.

Having escaped from his rabid fangirls for the eighth time today, Sasuke continued his search for Naruto.

Sasuke had run into everyone today—Shikamaru and Ino, Kiba and Hinata, Lee and Sakura, Neji and TenTen… Everyone was out spending the day with someone special, and it irritated him to no end that he wasn't a part of this. He too wanted to spend the day with the one person he held dear, but he couldn't even find his dobe, let alone spend the day with him. He continued walking when suddenly—

CLUNK! A blue package with ten holes in its sides smacked Sasuke on the top of the head.

"What the Hell—" He cursed, picking up the blasted object, and halting in mid-sentence when he saw his name on the tag.

"Che. Another valentine. Stupid fangirls can't seem to get the hint…" Sasuke's normally calm eyes widened in shock when he realized that this was the exact package that Naruto had been lugging around all day, and on the tag read:

To: Sasuke

From: Naruto

And Sasuke's heart missed a beat.

Naruto's Valentine… was for... me? His hands were shaking as the lid was lifted gently off the box. Pressure built up in his chest like air in a soda bottle when shaken. Thoughts darted wildly around his head.

Naruto got this for me… does that mean... I have a chance? He opened his eyes, not realizing that he had closed them, swallowed, and looked inside.

Lying among the layers of ice-blue tissue paper was the most extraordinarily odd gift for this occasion.

Two Onigiri balls, rice bound by chocolate leaf instead of seaweed and a spiral for decoration, both wrapped in red napkins were on either side of a simple bamboo and paper fan. Sasuke lifted the fan out of its box and opened it, gasping when he saw the pattern.

The top half of the fan was a bold red, and the bottom a pure white, but when the light hit it, Sasuke could see birds embossed on the matte paper. He stared at the gift for a while before he noticed that the handle too, held a surprise of its own.

The tan bamboo had tiny, almost unnoticeable gold spirals engraved into it. Sasuke smiled so wide that his dimples he never knew he had appeared.

Is this what you were hiding, dobe? You really are full of surprises. With that thought fresh on his mind, Sasuke gently placed the fan back into its place, closed the box, and darted up the mountainside.

Shitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshitshit! Naruto mentally cursed, peering over the edge of the fourth Hokage's head.

"Oh man! And it had my name on it too! Sasuke's fangirls are gonna kill me!"

"Kill you for what dobe?"

"EEP!" Naruto jumped and whipped around coming face-to-face with a smiling Uchiha. Instantly, Naruto felt his spine tingle – after affects of Sasuke's voice – and his heart rate speed up considerably. He knew he should probably run and hide, but he couldn't move. That deep-seated emotion was bolting through his body so fast and hard that he was numb and couldn't move.

"Sa-sa-Sasuke!" Naruto gasped, trying desperately to avert his gaze, only to have it fall upon the parcel under his rival and crush's arm. His lips trembled as Sasuke advanced towards him.

Step.

By step.

By step.

Until Naruto was backed up against one of the tall, cylindrical stone spires of the Yondaime's hair.

"Kill you for what… Naruto." Sasuke breathed into the shorter one's ear. Naruto could feel his face flushing from Sasuke's hot breath sinking down his neck and the close proximity of their bodies. Not to mention the tone of his voice being just so… suggestive.

"Nothing." Naruto was surprised at the steadiness of his own voice. It betrayed the chaotic state that his body was in.

Sasuke set the package on the ground, and placed his arms on either side of Naruto's neck, resting on the stone spire.

"Hn… good." Sasuke leaned in close and a split second before it happened, Naruto realized everything and after a quick intake of breath, the Uchiha's lips were upon his.

He thought he was dreaming. This feeling, this indescribable feeling shot through his veins, shaking him in places he thought were stationary. His arms found their way around Sasuke's neck and their lips melted together, massaging one another, tingling from heat and passion. He wasn't sure when or how his eyes had closed, but when Sasuke swiped his tongue in-between his lips, they opened in shock.

But his partner hadn't noticed that. All he knew was that Naruto had opened his mouth, and he was not wasting the invitation.

He thrust the throbbing muscle over his companion's, slick with his own taste. He felt vibrations of Naruto's moan long before the sound hit his ears. Sasuke felt the urge to push further, and he did, kneading the delicious cavern amid the almost constant weaving and melding of tongues.

Like a lemon-raspberry chocolate shake… Sasuke thought with a satisfied smirk when he finally pulled away for air. He relished the few seconds that Naruto was too shocked to speak, as it allowed him to drink in the sight of the younger boy at his sexiest.

"Sasuke…" Naruto panted. Sasuke shivered when he heard his name in that context.

"What was that for?" Sasuke smiled, a small, sexy smile.

"Consider it an early White day gift." He said, running his thumb over his boyfriend's lips.

"Ah!" Naruto felt another blush coming on as he remembered that Sasuke had his Valentine.

"Would you like to come to dinner with me? Uzumaki Naruto?" Sasuke asked in his best bedroom voice. His heart lifted at the sight of Naruto's smile.

"Yeah. Okay!" He said. Sasuke took Naruto's hand in his and they began the trek down the monument.

"Sasuke?" Naruto said, tentatively.

"Hn?" Sasuke looked at his boyfriend softly. Naruto bit his lip.

"…I love you…" He whispered. The stoic boy pulled him into another heated kiss, smiling all the while.

"I love you too… dobe."

And they walked off, hand in hand.
