Sakura giggled as she eyed the small, glittering object on her finger. It was a gold engagement ring, simple but beautiful. Atop it sat a pale pink diamond that glowed brilliantly in the sunlight. Along the band, the words; 'For My One And Only Cherry Blossom' were engraved. She sighed happily as she recalled the night Naruto proposed to her.
The two lovers stood high above the village, atop the stone faces of the Hokage monument. They were both tightly grasping each other, panting heavily, having just broken off a long and passionate kiss. Naruto wrestled himself free from her grasp once he had caught his breath. Sakura was disappointed at the loss of warmth, giving Naruto a look that was a mix between sadness, anger, and confusion. The former two emotions passed from her features, leaving only confusion as she watched him fish around his pocket for something. She was about to ask what he was looking for when he finally brought his hand out, a small velvet box held within. She gasped and cupped her hands over her mouth as he got down on one knee, head bowed, arms extended towards her, the small box gently resting in his palms, a small ring visible within.
He lifted his head, looking her directly in the eye as he spoke, "Sakura, you have been the love of my life since the day I met you. My day is instantly brightened when you are near, and my sadness is washed away whenever I see you, Now I ask you, Sakura Haruno, will you marry me?"
Sakura just stood there, unable to move and unable to speak. A million emotions ran through her in an instant, most notably joy and worry. Tears swelled in her eyes as she pulled Naruto up into a standing position, hugging him tightly. Naruto chuckled as he held her, gently patting her back before she pulled away, looking into his icy blue eyes with her misty green ones.
"So?," Naruto asked expectantly.
Sakura sniffled and cleared her throat before answering, "Yes, Naruto, of course I'll marry you."
Naruto had never been happier. He contained his joy as he delicately slid the ring onto her slender finger. He looked at her as she whispered, "A perfect fit..." He admired the way the setting sun's rays created a halo of orange light that reflected off her soft pink hair, before lowering his head to capture Sakura's lips in an innocent, tender kiss. They pulled away and professed their undying love in the final rays of the vanishing sun.
A small tear rolled down her cheek as she concluded her reverie, but she quickly wiped it away. She sighed again as she glanced at the sparkling object, she still couldn't believe she was getting married! She let out a girlish squeal at that last thought.
"Sakura Uzumaki...," she tested the name out. "Yeah, I like that."
There you go, another fluff-fest for you to enjoy, or hate. Thought I did pretty well on Naruto's proposal. Hmm, maybe that should be my line when I propose to that special girl, whoever that is. And yes, that was a subtle indication that I am single. Or not-so-subtle. Sue me.
They still don't belong to me.
