M-May I... h-have Sasuke's hand-in-marriage?

I kept my hands in my lap, not daring to glance up

I kept my hands in my lap, not daring to glance up. The pressure in the room was stifling or, perhaps it was the silence. I hear faint chirping from beyond the window, and wish I was one of those birds. My legs are starting to cramp from kneeling for such a long time. And still the silence persists. My toes are feeling tingly; actually they have been for the last fifteen minutes.

I'm starting to fidget now; I've been waiting for his reaction for at least half an hour or more. I can hear my breathing loudly; it's the only thing I can hear. Should I repeat myself?

"Ano… Fugaku-san…. May I have your son's… I mean Sasuke's hand in marriage? I mean, I am… from a r-respectable clan, even if it is your rival. And, Sharingan and Byakugan will produce great results, and we're very much in love. So…. Please agree!"

There was a warm breeze accompanied by an even warmer reply of yes. I slowly looked up at the gravestone. "Arigatou…. Fugaku-sam--"

"Hinata…."

"Hinata-chan…"

"Hina-chan!!"

Warm…. Moist… My cheek is resting against something very soft… My eyelids fluttered and I saw dark; more accurately, I saw dirt… with little ants crawling through it. Turing my head, I saw a blast of white, and then things slowly came into focus. Sasuke's looming presence suddenly filled my vision.

"Hinata…. Daijobou… Ka?"

Huh? What is he talking about? Of course I'm okay!

"I found you asleep in front of my father's grave. What on earth are you doing here? Hinata! Oi!! Hin—"

I really shouldn't ignore Sasuke when he's talking but it doesn't really matter…. He's talking too much. To shut him up, I throw my arms around him, and kiss him passionately.

"Sasuke-kun, let's get married."

The warm gentle breeze accompanied by a thinking sound almost like laughter could be heard as Sasuke kissed me slow and deep giving me the answer I needed.

The end
