Saturday came so fast without him realized. He had planned to meet Sasuke that morning, but that Teme suddenly had something coming in his work. Luckily, Sakura wasn't involved with him. Or else, she would escape from the hectic preparation for the guests to seduce his boyfriend that she didn't know yet.

"Naru. Go get ready yourself and wear this for tonight." It was still early before their guests to come and the dishes were almost done. But his mother had asked him to get clean and wear something she gave in the nice box.

After he had showered to clean his mess, he went to look inside the package given by his mother earlier. He was mesmerized by the content of the box.

It was a pastel hue yukata with beautiful floral print on it. A dark green obi also complimented inside. He had been admired the fabric when he saw his mother sew it several days before. He didn't know that it was made for him. It was soft and comfy on the skin too.

In front of the mirror, he felt appreciative of himself. It was a rare occasion that he would say he looked beautiful because the yukata really made him looked great. He promised that he would take care of it and being thankful to his mother.

The doorbell rang to sign them that their guests were arrived. His father and mother went to welcome them.

Meanwhile, he and his sister waited at the table for them to come.

"Naru, do you know who are coming?" Sakura asked him.

"No, I don't know. I thought okaa-san told you nee-chan."

Since their dining room was close to the entrance, he heard his parents conversation with their guests.

"Hyuga-san. Meet my husband, Haruno Kizashi. Let's proceed to the dining room. We've prepared a special feast." Okaa-san greeted. He was surprised that their guests were from the Hyuga. He thought maybe it was Hinata's family. But his friend hadn't said anything when they met before.

"Oh Mebuki-san, I hope we're not troubled you so much for our visit." A lady voice replied to his mother.

"Don't worry. I have my helpers. And, you'll meet him soon." His mother enlightened their guests.

Three foreign faces appeared in their dining room next. First, a fair lady with traditional hairdo was seen walking beside his mother. He and his sister stood from their chairs to greet their presence.

Then followed by their father along with a long haired man on his side. He noticed that the man had the similar eye colour as Hinata.

Finally, a younger tall man appeared after the elders. Then Sakura was kicking his foot for no reason. When he looked at her, she seemed to say something mutely. But he could grasp what she said.

'He's so handsome.' His sister grinned giddily.

Yes. He was handsome, tall and strong built. If Naru couldn't smell his scent, he would know instantly that the guy was apparently an alpha. His hair was long as the elder man. He also had that aristocratic face structure like the Uchiha Teme had too.

At the same time, his guessing was wrong because it wasn't Hinata's family who came to their dinner party.

"Hyuga-san. These are my children." His mother introduced them to the Hyuga family.

"Sakura, Naru, they are our special guests that I mentioned before. Meet Hyuga Hizashi and his family." They were introduced to the family who were the father Hizashi, the mother Tomoko and their son, Neji.

"So, this is the omega." Tomoko-san referred to him. He smiled politely to her for noticing him.

"Let's have the dinner first before we have the conversation. The food might get cold. I know you're excited Tomoko-san." His mother invited them to proceed with the dinner.

During that time, he noticed that the young alpha was always stealing a chance to stare at him. He wanted to smile and maybe befriend him since he assumed that he was Hinata's cousin. However, the alpha would looked away when he tried to meet their eye contact.

"Sakura! Naru! Can you two entertain Neji-kun? We, the elders have our very own discussion here." Their mother instructed to them after they had their dinner. Thus, they took the alpha to the gazebo at the backyard of their house.

His sister did the most of the talking while he served them with tea. From the conversation, Neji was the vice president of the Hyuga company at such a tender age of 25, a year older than his sister and Teme.

"How old are you Naru-kun?" The alpha suddenly asked him.

"I'm nineteen this October Neji-san."

"That's not so long from now."

"Uhmm… Neji-san, are you Hinata's cousin?"

"Yes. Our fathers are twin brothers. How do you know her?"

"We're from the same school."

The time passed as their guests were leaving from the occasion. The Haruno were gathered as his mother had something to say.

"They came to find a suitable mate for Neji-kun."

At the mentioned of 'to find a suitable mate', Naru knew what came next. Even he knew that it would be him, but she prayed that his mother chose his sister. Unfortunately, his prayer wasn't granted.

"They agreed to take Naru as their son's mate." His heart shattered to the announcement. He couldn't believe it had happened.

"Why are you not discussing with me first?" He snapped at the moment.

"I told you few weeks ago. Don't you remember? It's for your own good. You said you need money to build your future. So, I found you a rich alpha." Naru couldn't read any emotion on his mother's face. How could she do this to him?

"But you also not discussed with me first Mebuki. Do you think it's right to choose a life mate for our children?" Fortunately his father backed him up. It surprised him that his father also didn't know about the plan to engage him.

"I don't need a discussion. You know it's my family tradition. You and I also married based on our parents choice. I decided to find Naru a mate because he is an omega. He needs to get married in his early age."

"But…" He and his father said in unison. Both of them had the reason to deny her hasty decision.

"I don't want to hear any reason. I have agreed with the Hyuga." His mother left their discussion. Tears started to fall from his eyes.

"I'm sorry that I can't stop your mother Naru. She had planned everything without me." He couldn't say anything but cry on his father's shoulder.

It was almost midnight. At first he was hesitated to call his boyfriend to tell about his sudden engagement. Sasuke had been so busy recently. But, he couldn't wait for tomorrow. He wanted a comfort from his alpha.

When his cellphone rang, he also realized that he had been working till midnight. He wondered who was calling him on that time.

As he saw the name on the screen, he smiled because it was from his Dobe.

"Hello Dobe. You miss me?"

Instead of words, he heard the sound of crying on the other side. His feeling shifted from joy to worry.

"Naru, are you there? Naru, please talk to me." He pleaded.

"Suke. I'm sorry." His sweetheart was apologizing to him for no reason. He waited for explanation, but Naru kept crying. Sasuke's heart beat so fast. His mind was assuming a lot of things. Most of them were making him scared. He scared of losing his beloved Naru.

"Baby. Please tell me what's wrong. Why are you apologizing to me?" He could hear himself trembling.

"My mother… (sob), She has chosen for me… (sniff) a mate (sniff). I'm afraid that we can't be together anymore."

No. Naru was his. He couldn't let his Dobe to be owned by someone else.

"No. You're mine Naru. We will always be together. Don't cry anymore. Tomorrow. I'll come to see you after work. We will figure this out. But tonight, I want you to sleep and rest." Sasuke soothed Naru until he fell asleep.

In the next day, he struggled to finish his work quickly. He wanted to get to Naru that instant. The meeting with his father that day was making him more stress because he felt trapped in there for too long.

He hoped that he could get straight to Naru after the meeting, but Sakura was coming on his way.

"Sasuke-san. Where are you going?" She asked with her usual excitement.

"I'm done for the day. Will you excuse me?" But Sakura kept pestering him.

"But it still early. Why don't we go out for teatime together?" Sakura suggested boldly.

"Sorry to disappoint you Sakura-san. But I need to see my lover. See you tomorrow." He hoped that Sakura would give up after he told her the truth. Yet, he believed that he saw her surprise reaction at a glance.

He had thought about the problem all night and all day. In the meantime, he tried to find a solution to it.

He arrived at the hotel to wait for Naru to come out from work. As Naru was seen exited the lobby, the omega immediately rushed towards him and embraced him into a hug.

"Sasuke, are you mad at me?" Why his little boyfriend thought he was mad at him. The omega should know that he was being forced to marry someone not from his choice.

"No. Why should I?"

"I'm afraid that you left me because I will be taken by another alpha. But I don't want him. I want you Sasuke." Naru sounded very vulnerable at the moment. He needed to calm him.

"I will not leave you." He assured.

They were together in the park under the night starry sky. He hugged Naru to share his warmness to the omega's lithe figure. There, Naru told him where it started.

"Okaa-san wanted me to marry because I argue with her one night when she asked me to quit my job. I said, I wanted to work to find money to continue study. She also made me think that she couldn't afford to pay for my college fee to encourage me not go for study. I still refuse to quit. At the end, she thought I really need money and decides to mate me with a rich alpha." Naru ended his story with a deep sigh.

His eyes were teary but he didn't cry because Sasuke could feel that the omega was relax in his arms. So, it was true to his belief that Naru's mother was conserving her son in a forceful way.

"Sasuke, what will happen to us?" The blue eyes casted a hopeful gaze into him. Sasuke returned the gesture by entwining their hands together.

"Naru, I know this is so sudden for us. But I believe myself that I have fallen in love with you." The omega gasped to his confession. He gave a light kiss on Naru's forehead before he continued.

"I don't want to lose you. So, I've been thinking that I will go to your house this weekend and meet your parents. Then, I will ask them to cancel the engagement of yours with that other guy. That day, I will take your hand and claim you as my future mate. No one can stop us."

The confidence in Sasuke's tone was melting his heart. Yet, he trusted his boyfriend immediately with his hope.

"Promise me that you come for me this weekend." Naru's heart was on verge of blooming.

"I promise with all my life Naru." Then his heart exploded. He cried in happiness.

"I love you Sasuke." He felt the stage play of his life was getting a happy ending. The curtain fell dramatically when Sasuke deepened his lips on him passionately. This was Naru's romance story.
