Wedding Stress
Hi Folks! Another InoShika fic! I hope this one is better than the first two.
(I haven't checked it yet so there might be some gram errors in it)
The Proposal
Everything was perfect! The weather, the food and the decorations.
Shikamaru had planned everything very precisely so nothing could go wrong.
He wanted everything to be perfect for his proposal.
Ino was perfect; he couldn't imagine a girl more perfect than Ino on the world.
So he wanted a perfect proposal for her.
He had hired Ichiraku's ramen stand all for himself and decorated it with red roses. He bought a ring with a huge diamond (He had to spare all money from his last three missions) and he had written a poem for her which he thought was extremely 'troublesome'. 'When I'm married with I will be glad that I did this all' he thought. 'But what if says no?' said a voice in the back of head. 'Wrong thought Shikamaru, she is going to say yes, be sure about it.'
No matter how much he tried to convince himself, he was still terrible nervous.
He and Ino had knew each other since they were three years old, but it took 10 years to let her fall in love with him. And now, 18 years later since they first met he was going to ask her to marry him.
Shikamaru looked up; hoping to see the clouds which usually made him feel better.
But this evening there were no clouds, only a clear sky with millions of stars and a very big and shiny moon.
He wanted to propose last week, but unluckily for Shikamaru it was raining.
This evening there was almost no wind, and the temperature was perfect, not too cold but also not too warm.
He was so busy thinking he nearly didn't notice Ino.
"Hello Shikamaru!" she said happily.
"Ino, hi!" he said a bit confused
She looked gorgeous, she was wearing a red kimono and her long silky hair reflected the moonlight.
"Thank you for asking me on a date." Ino said with a smile.
Shikamaru smiled back and took her hand. "You look like an angel." he said.
"You think so?" replied Ino. She always complained about how she looked. "Personally I think that this kimono is really terrible." Shikamaru didn't reply, he had seen Ino while she had just woken up and even at that moment she looked like an angel to him.
"So where are we going?" she asked.
"To Ichiraku's." replied Shikamaru.
They walked trough the streets of Konoha which weren't very crowded at this time of the day.
After 5 minutes of walking they could see Ichiraku's in the distance.
"There aren't many people at Ichiraku's." said Ino.
"Probably because most people have already eaten." replied Shikamaru, he tried not to sound nervous.
He led Ino to Ichiraku's, checking if nothing was going wrong.
"Wow, look at all those roses!" said Ino.
Shikamaru smiled, she liked the decorations.
"Can I help you?" asked the woman who was selling the ramen.
"Ramen with pork please." replied Ino.
"The same." said Shikamaru.
They sat down on the chairs.
"The roses are lovely, don't you think?" she asked Shikamaru.
"Excuse me, why are all these roses here?" she asked the ramen woman.
Shikamaru had told the woman about his proposal and he knew that he had to say something very quickly otherwise things went terrible wrong.
"Didn't you hear about the marriage that was held here today?" Shikamaru quickly said.
"No." Ino replied.
Shikamaru quickly changed the subject of the conversation to prevent other questions about the decorations.
"Here's your ramen!" said the woman and gave the ramen to Ino and Shikamaru.
After they had eaten the ramen Shikamaru started a conversation about their future.
"So do you want kids when you're older?" Shikamaru asked Ino.
"Well first I want to get married with a nice man." she replied.
"Do you have someone in your mind?" asked Shikamaru.
"Well there's someone who I love very much." she answered.
Shikamaru saw that she was blushing a bit, he knew that he had to ask it now.
"Ino?" he asked as he looked in her crystal blue eyes.
He took the box with the ring out of his pocket and he kneeled down before Ino.
"Do you want to marry with me?" he asked.
"Oh Shikamaru," Ino shouted happily. "Of course I will!"
She took the ring and put it around her finger.
"Thank you so much Shikamaru!" she said and hugged him.
"Congratulations, I knew he would say yes." said the ramen woman.
"She knew about it?" Ino asked Shikamaru.
"Yes, I decorated this place myself and I asked her if she could close the shop for other customers."
Ino kissed Shikamaru on his lips and said, "I love you Shika."
"That person that I talked about was you." And she kissed him again.
"Come on lets go home, we have to prepare our wedding." Ino said with a smile.
