OMG! I just read some of my sister's work. Holy crap. She's amazing. I feel incompetent. I also forgot to tell you, I have a DA where I post a lot of one shots and fan fictions I don't think are suitable for fanfiction(dot)net Check it out. Link is at the bottom.
Warnings: same as always.
Disclaimer: George had to go to work today, so I stole Itachi and Sasuke. He then called at lunch and said I had to take them back. I think he installed camera's when I was gone the other day.
Review replies:
XXAnnxWarnerXx: I'm so glad you like it. Originally Patrick wasn't going to die, but like I said, I started typing and strayed from my original idea.
cookie0monsta: ^_^. He probably wasn't to happy about being stalked either. Naru's always put in bad situations, I think. I love that! blossom work.
Missheartless: Oh thank you so much. I hope this chapter isn't as suspenseful. I don't want you to ruin your nails.
12Ang122: I hope you didn't strain your eyes. I also hope this chapter helps.
neworder: Yeah cause what would this story be without the drama? Yeah, it shall have a fluffy happy ending. So sweet it'll rot your teeth.
Oh, also you all get to find out why Naruto was hiding his name. Trust me though it's not epic or anything.

Naruto had fallen asleep. He was attached to only an IV and was going to be released the next day. Even though, he had talked to several different shrinks since Patrick Monroe was shot and killed five days before, he seemed just fine. Sasuke was worried though. He would suspect something, nightmares, flashback, PTSD, anything. But, Naruto had none of it. Sasuke himself was under investigation and was suspended with pay until it was over. Although, he had a courthouse full of witnesses, backing up his claims that Mr. Monroe was planning to harm him and others. Sasuke groaned and stretched as he stood up from Naruto's bedside to go get a cup of coffee. He heard rustling.
"Sasuke- wha-?" Naruto was sitting up as best he could and rubbed his eyes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to wake you. I'm just getting some coffee."
Naruto shook his head. "Before you do, come here." Sasuke did. Naruto grabbed is face and studied it. He ran his thumbs along the dark circle sunder Sasuke's eyes,
"No, you are going to go home and sleep."
Sasuke opened his mouth to argue, but Naruto kissed his bottom lip quickly and he shut up. "I know, you want to make sure I'm all right, but trust me I am. Go home and sleep For me."
Sasuke groaned but gathered his stuff. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
Naruto smiled. "Okay."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura opened the door. Sasuke rushed in.
"Is he ok?"
"Well, hello Sasuke, I'm fine. Thanks for asking. Are you sure you don't want any tea? Okay then. Have a seat, why don't you."
Sasuke watched Sakura have a conversation wit herself.
"Would you please stop banging on my door at midnight? My neighbors are trying to sleep."
"Are you quite done?"
Sakura glared. "Do you get it?"
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Yeah, yeah I got it. Now where is he?"
"Upstairs sleeping."
Sasuke relaxed and slid onto the couch. "Is the tea still up for grabs?"
Sakura nodded and rushed off, she came back quickly with a tray.
"What is up with Naruto's last name?"
Sakura sighed. "You already know my answer, why ask?"
"Figured I'd take a shot."
Sakura shrugged. "Well, it failed."
Sasuke leaned back. "Why did he call you and not me?"
"He wanted you to get some rest. He was worried."
"About me?"
"Yes. Now go home. I need sleep."

Naruto was under doctor's orders to stay in bed for two days. Sasuke decided to take him out on his first day of freedom in almost a week.
"Where would you like to go?" He asked the blonde.
"Well I haven't had ramen since this whole thing started. So, ramen?"
Sasuke shrugged. "It's all up to you."
Naruto beamed and grabbed Sasuke's hand. "I know a great place just down the street." Sasuke allowed himself to be pulled down the street, quietly listening to Naruto talk about nothing and everything.
~x~
They were seated and had ordered before Sasuke spoke up.
"I know you know what I want to ask."
Naruto sighed. "I guess. My father's name was Namizake Minato. He was the Ad Exec who committed suicide by jumping out of his office window."
Sasuke nodded remembering the story fairly well.
"Well after his death, Mom and I moved and we changed our name to Uzumaki, which was actually her maiden name. She apparently wasn't taking dad's death as well as she pretended because she stabbed herself in a grocery store the day before I turned eighteen."
Sasuke was silent, he stood up and slid in next to Naruto and gave him a light kiss.
"You are a very brave person."
"No more than you."
Sasuke laughed. "Probably so. But, I'm forced to be brave. You never had to be."
Naruto gave a watery smile as their food arrived. They ate in silence.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sakura had started to tear up as she read the letter Sasuke has written.
"Why do you have to be gay?" She cried.
"Do you think he'll like it?"
"Like it? He'll love it!"
"Really?" Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Positive. There is no way he won't."
Sasuke released a breath of relief. "Okay. I'm trusting you, Sakura."

They were walking down the street after Sasuke treated Naruto to another dinner. They passed a flower shop and Naruto smiled sincerely when he noticed a bouquet of orchids sitting in one of the vases.
"That's my favorite flower." He said, pointing to them. "Do you have a favorite flower, Sasuke?"
Sasuke shrugged. "If I had to pick I'd say my favorite is the sunflower."
"Why's that?"
"My mother's favorite flower is a sunflower also."
Naruto 'hmm'ed. "My mother's favorite was a daffodil."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They sat in the restaurant quietly as Naruto read the note Sasuke wrote for him. Tears rolled silently down his face as he got closer to the end.
"Sasuke, I don't know what to say."
Sasuke just smiled. "There's more." He waved and a waiter brought over a huge bouquet of orchids and daffodils.
"Oh, Sasuke. They are beautiful."
"Yeas they are, but this one's my favorite." He held up a rose tied up with a ribbon and attached to the ribbon was -
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Jewelry?"
Sasuke nodded.
"Well, one day I'd like to have a wedding ring. Something masculine but not overbearing. I'd wear a thin band if I liked it enough." Naruto took another sip of his drink.
"What about you Sasuke? Would you wear jewelry?"
"Only my wedding ring. Of course it'd have to be a thick band and very very masculine."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
- a ring. Naruto gasped,
"You were completely serious?"
"Yes I am."
"I could never say no." Naruto leaned over the table and kissed Sasuke.

Naruto,
Of the thousand different ways I could start this letter I have to start it at one or the most difficult times in your life.When we first met, you were being stalked by some lunatic, I hate to say it, but I could see why he was drawn to you, there's something about you that draws people to you, even me. I had to help because of this strange force. And when the madman kidnapped you, my breath was knocked out of me like a sucker punch to the gut. This attraction to you continued to grow. I started to worry that I'd become like that man, so I jumped at the chance to ask you out before such an atrocious thing happened. I felt on top of the world Everytime you agreed to dinner. Before I knew it, I had feelings for you. I didn't know if you did or not, but hoped for such a thing and when you kissed me back that night. I swear I could fly. I'm not sure if a letter is deemed appropriate for this situation, especially one that makes you relive such horrible memories, but this letter has one purpose and one purpose only.
Naruto, will you marry me?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Le FIN
In case, anyone's wondering. He said yes.
George says the ending isn't fluffy enough. I told him to go buy cotton candy if he wanted fluff. He threw a book at me. He's so abusive!
I'm not sure if I'm going to add any more chapter's. My lame-o lawyer says no, but he still thinks the moon is made of cheese.
Also, I'm starting a series of Naruto fanfics based on Disney movies. Like "The Wind Messenger" so let me know which movie and pairing you'd like to see next! Cause I think that some Disney movies can't be SasuNaru. Also there's some movies I won't do, period. (Like Fox and the Hound. Cause AshleetheDragon and darkalbino have both done amazing SasuNaru versions of that movie and there is no way I'm that good.)
