Author's Note: Hi, thanks for everyone who reviewed and read my story, I didn't expect that my first SasuNaru story would click, but somehow it did and I'm happy.
RECAP:
As all of you already know, Uchiha's are proud and there is no exception even the great Uchiha Sasuke himself would attest to that. However, for the first time in said Uchiha's life, he is going to swallow his pride and ask for help. About what? About proposing of course.
Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto have been dating a year after Sasuke had returned from Orochimaru and after killing his brother, after a lot of pleading and hard work on earning Naruto's trust back. Now, after five years of dating, said Uchiha finally had gotten the guts to ask his blond dobe hand for marriage, the only problem is he doesn't have any idea how.
Uchiha Sasuke has spent the past five days swallowing his pride and thus the day had come, he had indeed swallowed all his pride and is now ready to ask for help. Looking at the list he had made of the people who is close to Naruto that could help him, he look at the first name written in the scroll, after tucking the scroll in his vest, he kiss the still sleeping dobe in their bed and leap out of his and Naruto's bedroom window towards the first person on his list.
Umino Iruka
Chapter Two: Iruka And Lee
Sasuke ran towards the academy since there was a high chance that Umino Iruka, his dobe adoptive father would be there. And he was right, he found said person sitting inside an empty classroom checking papers.
Iruka who was busy checking papers look up at the sound of an opening door and an Uchiha-on-a-mission.
"Sasuke, what are you doing here early in the morning?" Iruka said looking at the man who his adopted son had fallen in love with.
"I need some advice." Sasuke said looking back at Iruka.
Iruka was shock when he heard the Uchiha is asking him for advice, after getting over the shock which only took a minute, Iruka motioned for Sasuke to enter the room and sit on any chair, once the Uchiha is sited Iruka asked, "About what?"
"About proposing." Sasuke said and when Iruka didn't say anything, Sasuke took it as a sign to continue. "I wouldn't ask for your help Iruka-sensei if I had any idea how to, but I don't and I really want to make it romantic and unforgettable for the dobe." Sasuke added and Iruka could hear the affection in Sasuke's word.
Iruka look at Sasuke and smiled, he could see how much Sasuke loves Naruto and that the raven would always want to please and make said blond happy, and since he wants to make his adopted son happy as well, Iruka is willing to help.
"Of course I'll help you." Iruka said as he watch Sasuke took a scroll out and a brush ready to write everything Iruka would say. Now, put in mind, this is also the reason why it took Sasuke so long to swallow his pride, who would have thought that the day will come where they will see their Uchiha with a scroll and a brush writing down every words just for his beloved dobe. "Anyway Sasuke, first of all you must have a ring." Iruka added as he saw Sasuke wrote it down while murmuring about looking for the perfect ring.
"Second, you must take him into a romantic place." Iruka said and watch Sasuke as he wrote it down.
"Third, when the time comes for proposing, you must always make eye contact." Iruka said as he rack his brain for more advice because if truth be told, he doesn't have much idea on the subject as well, his an uke for crying out loud.
"Always make eye contact." Sasuke murmured while writing, looking like an eager child ready to learn which he is at a moment.
"After that tell him how you feel about him and how you wanted to be with him forever, followed by you asking him to marry you." Iruka said with a smile since he had just help someone who is greatly in need.
"That's all?" Sasuke asked after he finish writing it all down. "Aren't I suppose to kneel or something?" Sasuke added remembering one of the scenes on the movie he had seen with Naruto (who convince him in a way that he (Sasuke) couldn't resist.) a long time ago.
"Well, it really is depends on you Sasuke. Everything I told you just now are from the things I heard and seen in movies." Iruka said looking at Sasuke who had an 'Oh!' look plastered on his face.
"I see, well thanks Iruka-sensei and please don't tell Naruto what I'm up to." Sasuke said leaving Iruka alone. Once outside the Academy, Sasuke put his scroll back in his pocket while at the same time took out another scroll which has the list of names of those he would talk to for advice. Sasuke put a check mark beside Iruka's name before reading the second name after Iruka. Closing the scroll and putting it back in his pocket, Sasuke made his way to the second name on his list...
Rock Lee…
Lee was practicing his taijutsu on a post when he saw the last Uchiha heir approaching.
"Ah… my youthful friend, are you here to join me training, so you could show me your youthful strength." Lee said a loud, only stopping his training to put his right hand up whenever he mentions the word youthful.
'What am I doing talking to him?' Sasuke asked himself as he watch Lee, 'Oh, yes, I'm doing this for the dobe.' Sasuke answered himself before saying "No Lee, I'm not here to join you training, I'm actually here to ask you for some advice."
"Of course, anything for my youthful friend." Lee said in the nice guy post. "So tell me, what is it that you need my youthful advice on?" Lee added as he watch the last Uchiha took out a scroll and a brush from his pocket. 'This must be something big.' Lee thought.
"I need some advice in proposing."
"You're going to propose to Naruto-kun, that's good news, Naruto-kun would be very happy, he loves you so much." Lee said, before Sasuke could say anything "Oh, the power of youthful love! I won't let you surpass me, I would ask Sakura to marry me too and have kids and…"
"Lee!" Sasuke said the name with a little venom successfully getting said person's attention.
"Oh, sorry Sasuke, I got carried away. Hehe!" Lee said sheepishly. "As for the proposing thing, do you think Sakura would said yes to me?"
"Yes, of course she would Lee, you guys had been dating longer than the dobe and me." Sasuke said assuring Lee before saying, "Anyway, about the advi…"
"Do you think sending Sakura some flowers before taking her to a fancy restaurant is romantic enough?" Lee said as he stood there asking Sasuke while Sasuke tried not to hit Lee, chanting to himself that as soon as he answered Lee it would be his turn next.
"Yes, it is." Sasuke answered patiently.
"I should kneel in front of her right and say something poetic before asking her to marry me right?" Lee asked again not noticing Sasuke's battle with patience.
"I guess." Sasuke said and before he knows it, Lee had hugged him and started walking away from him.
"Thanks Sasuke for the advice, I'm going to head to the jewelry store now to buy Sakiura a ring, then to Yamanaka's flower shop for the flowers." Lee said as he walk away from a startled Uchiha before stopping for a minute and look back at the said Uchiha, "I owe you one Sasuke and don't worry, I won' tell Naruto-kun what you are planning and that you had ask for my help." Lee added before leaving completely.
Sasuke stood there for half an hour thinking that he had just wasted his time talking to Lee. And how instead of him getting the advice, he end up giving one.
"Damn!" Sasuke said before taking out the scroll with the list of name, he put a check on Lee's name before returning it to his pocket together with his other scroll. With his entire things back in his pocket, Sasuke started to make his way toward the person next on his list.
Meanwhile with Naruto (Ichiraku Ramen (Breakfast))…
"Iruka-sensei, when do you think Sasuke-teme would ask me to marry him?" Naruto said after swallowing while Iruka who was drinking had choke on his drinks. "Iruka-sensei, are you okay?" Naruto said as he pat said sensei on the back.
"Yes, I'm okay. Sorry about that, I just didn't see that question coming." Iruka said once he had caught his breath.
"It's okay Iruka-sensei." Naruto said returning from eating.
"Do you want to get married already Naruto?" Iruka said looking at Naruto.
"Yes, I mean, I'm already sure that there's no one for me but Sasuke and I want to spend forever with him. As long as he ask me to marry him, it's enough, I don't need to be taken to romantic places, just having him is enough." Naruto said not looking at Iruka as he thought of the news Kyuubi had told him last night.
"Are you okay Naruto?" Iruka asked looking at Naruto who he had just notice is a little on the pale side.
"Yeah, nothing to worry about." Naruto said looking at Iruka with a warm smile. "Definitely nothing to worry about." Naruto said while absentmindedly rubbing his tummy.
Iruka who saw Naruto's action simply dismiss it as the blonde getting full, since Naruto always do that after wolfing down Ichiraku's ramen.
