-Complicated-

"YOU WANT TO DO WHAT?" His voice boomed at the young man in front of him.

"As I said... I want to marry your daughter." The young man replied; keeping his cool.

"WHY?" Hiashi demanded.

"Because... I. Love. Her... And she loves me too." He replied; getting slighty impatient; couldn't the man just give him the answer?.

"Why... Why do you love her? Why does she love you?" Hiashi questioned at the man.

Yes, he acted cruely at his eldest daughter for most of her life, but that did not stop him loving her discreetly. To hear someone wanting to marry his daughter, Hiashi had felt his protective fatherly feelings kick in; for the first time in his life.

Was he that oblivious, that clueless, that he didn't see his daughter fall in love? He couldn't just... He couldn't just let her go. It was only now, hearing about the marriage proposal, that made Hiashi regret the little time he spent with his daughter.

"Everything about her... Her kindness, how she cares for other people, how she's selfless... It seems to just draw me in. But if you ask me why I love her, I can't really tell you. Because even if I tried to tell you, not even words could describe why I love her. Because love... Love is a complicated thing." Sasuke murmured, now feeling uncertain; would Hiashi accept his answer?

"You still haven't told me why my daughter loves you." Hiashi stated; obviously wanting an answer from Sasuke.

"I don't know what she sees in me, really... It may seem selfish of me, because I don't think I deserve her, but everytime she tells me she loves me, I don't really care, because as long as she loves me; I'm content. If you really want to know the answer, you got to ask Hinata herself." Sasuke answered truthfully.

Hiashi didn't know what to say at this point. He could've just said 'If you feel like you don't deserve her, then you don't deserve her.' But he had felt that way with his wife; he knew what Sasuke was saying. Sasuke was a worthy husband for Hinata, yet... He didn't want to give Hinata up.

Would Hinata hate him, if he said 'no'? Hinata couldn't hate people, no, she couldn't, but she would be sad. Sad, that she couldn't be with her lover. What was he to do? He knew what love felt like, and what Sasuke was saying, really spoke to him.

"Uchiha." Hiashi's sharp voice sliced through the air, grabbing the attention at the man before him.

"Yes?" Sasuke looked up to him; though he looked stoic, Hiashi saw a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"I give you permission to marry my daughter." Hiashi said to the young man; as soon as he heard Hiashi's words, he gave a slight smile and not a smirk.

"Thanks." He muttered as he got up from his chair and left the room, leaving Hiashi thinking about his decision.

Did he do the right thing? Only time would tell. After all, if Sasuke was true to his words, Hinata would be a very happy woman; Hiashi could tell.

Hiashi, inside, was satisfied with Sasuke's words though.

Because love was indeed complicated.
