Author's comments: Dividing this into three parts so I can get it out quicker. Basicly I have half of part 2 finished and then the last part will be the smut, which means you can ignore that part if you want. This is just a little something for Valentine's Day, even if it is late and has set back all of my other fics. I swear I was half way through editing a fic written on my iPod when I got this idea and I'd have finished that ages ago.

Gaara utterly despised Valentine's Day. Said profound hatred undeniably was not as completely irrational as most individuals instantly tended to presume, in actual fact, one could possibly consider it perfectly reasonable if they had ever even bothered to look back on the young leader's tragically depressing life. For him, just the basic concept of love only bought agonizing heartbreak and a sickening sense of envy and self loathing along with it, let alone a whole day filled with such a repulsive sentiment. That was why the deprived red head tended to stay as far away from the celebrations as possible on such meaningless and pointless days, believing that securely locking himself in his desolate room was the only promising solution to his many problems associated with it.
Not any longer would it continue be an acceptable escape, it seemed. Quite frankly, it hadn't been for a few years now. Not since the very responsible boy had became the proud Kazekage of his bustling little desert village. No, now it was wholly expected that he willingly attend the horrid celebrations that he so detested. And that was what had bought the very irritated and ill-tempered sand ninja to the lush leaf village, located in the approximate middle of the land of fire.
Today just so happened to be Valentine's Day itself. Such a deeply detested date, but Gaara had important work to do in the foreign allied nation and he was not going to let his appalling abhorrence get in the road of his vital duties, even if they were directly related to the celebration. He was just extremely glad and somewhat relieved he had been excused from his own village's excessive festivities. His siblings were in charge for the time being, overseeing the usual festival planning and such, so the Kazekage had luckily managed to flee by pure fortunate chance. Much more fortuitous than last year it appeared, in which he had been forcibly made to join in the apparent merriment. Not a very merry time for him, that had been for sure.
Exactly why he was in the hidden leaf village was not obviously clear to the puzzled red head himself, but he did happen to have a small amount of necessary knowledge on the ostensibly essential visit. Apparently he was to make a quick appearance at the Konoha Valentine's festival as a display of the two villages' allegedly strong diplomatic ties. That was all that was required though, the Hokage had assured him. He just had to show up at the celebration, nothing less, nothing more. Fairly simple really.
The former Jinchūriki was now sitting calmly at a large meeting table in the allied leaf village, the blond Hokage on the other side and his two advisors besides him. Why they hadn't just stayed in the leader's office was confusing, as the overly spacious conference room was far too outsized for the four politics and completely unnecessary. Perhaps it was so he felt more impressive, or just to pathetically show off to his old friend? Gaara absolutely had no idea, but he wouldn't put it past him. Not at all. This was the Uzumaki he was dealing with.
"So you accepted my invitation, hey?" Naruto joked offhandedly, casually putting his orange clad legs up on the table in a very laid-back manner, earning scowls from the two grouchy elders seated beside him, "Didn't think you would come really. I know how much you hate these kinds of things. Too happy for you, right?" The proud Kazekage only nodded swiftly in uncomplicated agreement. "May I ask how you of all people managed to become Hokage?" Gaara queried softly, his indifferent and quiet voice barely audible in the large meeting room, disbelieve just faintly evident on his features, "I was quite surprised when I read through the letter and realized it was addressed from you, Uzumaki-san."
"What, you think I cheated or somethin'!?" The loud mouthed blond exclaimed, ready to rise from his very comfortable looking position at the table to argue further, "You know how much I've worked to become Hokage!"
"Yes, yes…" The young Kage responded without much care, waving his pale and slender hand at the indignant blond dismissively, "I really wanted to ask why you desire my presence so, knowing full well of my opinions on Valentine's Day. This is not a wise move, Hokage-sama…" Naruto had calmed down considerably at the response, yet was still offended by the comments, crossing his tanned arms, clad in the traditional white and red Hokage Robes, with a scornful huff.
"I just wanted to see my friend again, nothing wrong with that right?" The newly selected Hokage questioned almost sceptically, rising the seated red head's suspicions even more, "I mean, I knew you wouldn't want to be in Suna at this time of year, and you have plenty of friends here, so…."
"If you are trying your hand at matchmaking again, I will walk straight back to my village without a word," Gaara retorted straightforwardly, knowing full well what the unwanted consequences would be if he allowed such a wretched thing to ever happen in his somewhat looming presence, now looking up from his long pointy finger nails to glare at the very surprised and nervous looking blond opposite to him, "The trip back would allow me to miss the Valentine's celebrations completely, so there really is nothing keeping me here…"
Oh that little blond haired ramen loving trickster. If he had potential plans to do that again, or even the smallest beginnings of ideas, the mighty Kazekage would do far more than just leave the lush hidden leaf village. Alotmore.
Yes, again. The last time the mischievous Uzumaki had attempted to set the lonesome little red head up with a well needed date had been the previous year's despised Valentine's celebrations, in which he had been formally visiting the desert village of Sunagakure on official diplomatic business. Certainly not a very good day indeed, and it positively did not include much of this 'official business' like he had originally told the overly trustful and stoic young Kage. If Gaara's undue hatred had not been so excessively high in the first place, he would have purportedly alleged that it had made him loath the day even more, if that was remotely possible considering the current status of his disproportionate abhorrence. You see, unbeknownst to the Kazekage, Naruto had somehow managed to spend the whole day asking everyone in the sand village on his behalf if they wanted to go out with him. That meant every single individual that currently resided in the village.
Of course there had been numerous responses and proposals of love from random strangers, but at that point the sand ninja had had no idea of the recently selected Hokage's mischievous plan. At first he was honestly flattered beyond believe, yet very confused by the idea. It was in his nature to desperately crave and yearn affection, so when an unknown stranger suddenly burst into his usually neat little Kazekage office before the loathed celebrations had begun and asked with fiery passion to be his Valentine, Gaara couldn't help but be slightly happy about it. Of course he had politely declined the persons offer, stating his abhorrence towards the day, but it was the simple fact that someone had actually wanted to love him that warmed his unfamiliar black heart.
Then there was another fervent declaration of love and adoration.
Then yet another.
The Kazekage was completely unsure when he had become so prevalently popular with his busy citizens, enough to have multiple swarms of suitors erupt into his already cramped office, but he wasn't at all stupid by any sense of the word. A little naïve sometimes, but quite the genius at times. If there were strange things happening with no real reasoning behind them and the grating Uzumaki also happened to be on the scene, most things would undoubtedly be his blame. That was just the twisted way the world seemed to work, from what Gaara had gathered throughout his recent life with the leaf ninja. It certainly was a valuable life lesson, as it had indeed turned out to be his fault. One of the suitors had gladly given the young leader all the information he needed once the hordes began and the red haired boy's suspicion was instantly raised.
That had truly been a horrid day, but the sand wielder was avidly determined that the same event never happen to repeated itself again. Not if he had a say in things.
"You think I would do that again! Tsunade-baachan banned me from joint missions between our villages for six whole months as punishment! Also because I think she was afraid you were going to kill me…" Naruto retorted angrily, his response even louder than his previous outburst, "Besides, you needed the help! I bet you'd actually like Valentine's Day if you'd ever had, you know, a Valentine!" Well that explained why Gaara hadn't seen the kyuubi holder for such a lengthy amount of time. For good reason too, seeing as the red head was yet to get his revenge on the Uzumaki. Tsunade-dono had certainly been right to fear for the leaf ninja's precious life. "Naruto-san, I did not need your help and I never will," Gaara uttered bitterly, "I have no interest in finding a mate as of yet. I am still young and have plenty of time to waste on such pursuits in the future, most likely when I find someone who is actually acceptable."
"Yeah right!" The blond exclaimed in reply, "Do you know how long you've been saying that? You know, your problem is that you're too picky! That's why you're still a virgin!"
"I believe we were here to discuss the upcoming celebrations, not my love life…" The red head interjected with a false smile, the two elders besides the Hokage raising their eyebrows simultaneously at the previous revelation. They remained silent still though, much to Gaara's amusing delight. He couldn't have rumours flying about now, could he?
Not that it would even bother the pure little red haired Kazekage. He had no serious qualms about being a virgin, other than the depressing reminder it held about his loneliness. The young Kage had made up his twisted mind years ago that he would save himself until he found someone who loved him. It was common sense to the boy. Besides, he really doubted that the blond was that much different. He most likely just had an affliction towards talking big, something he was doing a lot of at the moment.
"What love life? I was just trying to find you someone to love!" Naruto was out of his seat in an instant, which received a dry chuckle from Gaara. This was certainly going to get interesting. Especially if he thought he could argue with the all powerful wind shadow.
"Why don't you mind your business? I can have whoever I choose; I just have not made up my mind yet," The former Jinchūriki flashed another false smile, making light of the whole situation, "I doubt you would ever be able to find me someone anyway. I've seen your choice in partners." A risky move but completely true. Gaara had only seen the blond making out with Sasuke once, and in his honest opinion that wasn't much of an actual achievement.
"Fine, find your own!" The fox container exclaimed, crossing his arms and giving up. It seemed he's defensiveness was becoming even more tactile. Just as Gaara had predicted.
"I never asked for your help in the first place, besides, it cannot be so hard…" The sand ninja raised a hand to his chin in deep though, musing about the situation deeply, "I am fairly certain someone in Konoha would not mind a few kisses from me…"
"Care to bet on it, Kazekage-sama?" The blond muttered teasingly, getting back into the conversation once again. Oh he couldn't just keep his mouth shut, could he?
"I would like to know the terms of this 'bet' before I agree to anything," Gaara retorted smartly, a smirk playing at his lips. Of course it didn't really matter; the young Kage knew he would win anyway. He was the mighty leader of another village; someone in this horrible village had to find that attractive, right?
Naruto gave a deep sigh. Was it just him or was the sand wielder enjoying this far too profusely? That devilish smirk was proof enough that he undoubtedly had something up his sleeve.
"You get a kiss from anyone in Konoha, and you win. On the lips too, no cheating! You win, you can be excused from the Valentine's Day celebrations and do whatever it is you do, you lose and I get to make you my personal assistant for the rest of your stay." The terms were rather simple, nothing too hard to accomplish. If worst came to terms the Kazekage would just depart as soon as possible. The Hokage had no way to stop him if that was what he truly wanted. Gaara could put up quite the difficult fight when he wanted to.
"I agree…" The red head murmured bluntly, sighing in mock boredom and rolling his mint coloured eyes. Tormenting the Uzumaki was rather entertaining, but he had had enough for one day.
"And I get to dress you up in maid outfits if you lose!" The orange Kage interjected quickly, receiving an odd look from Gaara, who opened his mouth to speak, but just shook his head in repulse instead. That comment certainly implied that the leaf ninja did happen to have a maid outfit sitting around somewhere and that freaked him out just a little bit. He certainly couldn't lose now.
"I still agree, but I will be taking my leave now…" The former Jinchūriki stood up abruptly from his large comfortable chair, making his way over to the once again laid back leaf ninja, "But first, I must request a kiss." The ramen loving blond simply shook his head and laughed a bit.
"It's going to take more than that, Gaara-kun," The Hokage responded, shooing the red head away awkwardly, "I have to make this difficult, you know!" Being denied a quick little non-romantic kiss from one of his closest friends certainly meant that he was going to have to look much further than just Naruto if he had any plans to win the bet.
"Ah, Hokage-dono…" The Kazekage trailed off in understanding, crossing his arms against his chest again, "In that case, it is a good thing I have someone in mind already..."
Who that person was though, was someone who would never even think of denying anyone a kiss. Not even the odd sand ninja himself. Surely all he needed was a reliable guilt trip and they would be all his. Lee would definitely want to help his good friend from the distant sand village out, regardless of how awkward the request would be. The red head seemed to have a soft spot for the taijutsu master, so much so that he wouldn't mind the kiss at all. Even if the unlikely answer was a no, Gaara would still manage to drag a press of tender lips out of the other boy.
After all, he was going to win this.
