"Are you ready Naruto?" Kakashi asked him with a teasing smile. He grinned as he replied with confidence, "Of course!!! It's for the girl I love!!!"
He glanced at her and taking a deep breath once again, before going into the stage and snatching the microphone into Gai's hands who were practically giving a loud speech about marriage and love. The audience clapped their hands looking so happy that someone finally gave an end to Gai's long dialogue. He coughed.
"I know this is rather sudden minna… " he trailed off meeting the people's confused looks at him. He even saw Sakura's agape mouth that turned into a soft smile when he winked at her. Kiba, Shino, Neji, Lee, Tenten, Gaara, Sasuke, Kakashi, Kurenai, Ino, Shikamaru, Chouji, Temari, Kankurou… all of his friends… are smiling at him with a knowing smile, their eyes telling him to go for it… Well, all except Hinata, who still doesn't get what is happening.
He feigned a cough again, smiling a little bit more, tilting his head a little bit more, when he saw her smiling at her with her sweet smile that he oh-so-love.
"I just have some confession to make… Actually, I feel nervous about this… WELL, I want you to know…I want the whole world to know that I finally found the girl of my life, the girl I'm going to marry. You know, she was not like Sakura-chan who gets violent when she's angry!!", he paused, laughing clumsily as he earned a glare from Sakura and Kakashi, " She wasn't like Ino or Tenten or Temari… Actually, I doubt if there is someone else like her. Not because she's not beautiful like those girls I've mentioned."
"You bet Naruto!!! I know we are beautiful!!" Ino exclaimed, winking at him. Shikamaru and Chouji looked at each other with knowing gazes before they cover her mouth and pull her down to her seat.
"Sssh.. Ino… He's confessing.!!" Chouji murmured. Temari sighed while Shikamaru gave out another of his troublesome remarks.
"It's because she's the most beautiful for me… She's special…She's the only girl who can make me feel all of these wonderful feelings inside me with just one smile…" he thumped his chest.
"When I'm with her, I want to live more, more ,more! When I see her smile, the world feels so light that I don't care what people say… I'm so quite sure that I want to spend my days with her, seeing her sweet shy smile every morning, every night. I want to be with her forever, to protect her, to love her, to cherish her…She's the girl who accepted me for who I am, yet I neglected for so long… She's the girl who can give me courage, happiness… She's the girl who can give me everything I want… She's my life… She's my everything… I want you to know guys… that…." He paused, took a deep breath before shouting, "I LOVE THE GIRL SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOU HYUUGA HINATA!!!"
He never left his gaze into her until he finished his very last word. She looked up, her face full of so much shock, before tears started to race onto her smooth cheeks. She was crying…
He smiled. A soft smile that he gives only to her.
"I love you Hinata…" he said pausing to take another breath. To their utter surprise, he jumped off the stage and started singing, as he walked slowly towards her.
No one ever saw me like you do
All the things that could I add up to
I never knew just what a smile was worth
But your eyes say everything without a single word
Hinata thought she was dreaming. When he went to the stage and started his speech about the girl he loves, her heart started to get broken. She wanted to run, but she promised him that she'll never leave. She wanted to keep her word so badly, even though it'll hurt so much
'I never go back in my words… That's my ninja way…' she thought, forcing herself to smile. But she couldn't do anything but hang her head down to hide the pain in her face, to hide the aching in her heart. She wanted to cry, to shout in so much pain… But when she saw him, he looked so happy, so confident. She had to stay, and smile, and watch him shine. Even though… it was not her who made him happy…
"I want you to know guys… that…. I LOVE THE GIRL SO MUCH!!! I LOVE YOU HYUUGA HINATA!!!" he shouted, his voice full of feelings she also feel. She suddenly looked up.
To say that she is shocked, is an understatement. Before she knew it, they were falling… her tears…
'I am disillusioned again… I probably misheard… It can't possibly be me…' she thought before he gave her a soft smile she now recognized that is only for her.
"I love you Hinata…" he repeated with a serious tone, his azure eyes locking up with her shock gaze.
Before she can recover from surprise, he jumped off the stage and walked towards her. He opened his lips to say something, but in her ears it was kinda… weird?? Then, she realized that he is singing! Uzumaki Naruto is singing! Her mouth turned agape, her heart pounding more and more and more… She almost couldn't breath…
In seconds, he is in front of her, their gazes never leave each other. She wanted to imprint the memory of his face on her mind. Him singing, him saying he loves her…He hold her hand.
'Coz there is something in the way
You look at me
It's as if my heart knows
You're the missing piece
You make me believe that there's nothing
In this world, I can't be…
I never know what you see
But there's something in the way you look at me…
Naruto felt entranced, her white eyes like a pool of water drowning him. Yes, he saw something in her eyes… It was like he's looking at a lost part of himself and he found it and he feel complete.
If I could face a moment in my life
It's the second that you touch your lips to mine
I like to stop the clock
Made time stay still
'Coz baby this is just the way
I always wanna feel
They started remembering everything. The days he thought he was a dark weirdo, the way she's always there, the way she believes in him. The days she watched him, the days he gave her courage, the days she acknowledge her.
The days their lips met…The days they hide their love for each other… The days they were hurt… the days they were happy… Together…
'Coz there is something in the way
You look at me
It's as if my heart knows
You're the missing piece
You make me believe that there's nothing
In this world, I can't be…
I never know what you see
But there's something in the way you look at me…
I don't know, how or why
I feel different in your eyes
All I know
Is it happens everytime…
He now knows why… It's because he love her that he feel different with her around… It's because he want to kiss her and embrace her tight. Because she made him feel complete…
'Coz there is something in the way

But there's something in the way you look at me…
The way you look at me…
"I love you Hinata… So much… I love you…" he said, as he squeezed her hand gently, feeling the comfortable warmth. His eyes asking for her answer. She smiled.
"Naruto-kun… I know why you feel different when I look at you…" she said as silent as the wind.
She reached to whisper onto his ear, but enough for everyone to hear, " It's because you love me… and also because I love you too… So much…"
She never saw the expression on Naruto's face. Before she knew it, she's above the ground, his hands on her waist. The smile of extreme happiness in his face is extraordinary.
"Can you repeat it for me?!!" he asked as loud as he can.
She laughed.
"I…LOVE…YOU… So much!!! I love you Uzumaki Naruto! Ever since we're young!"
The smile on his face grew wider. He laughed, swirling her around. He was quite oblivious of the surroundings when he heard feigned male coughs. He put Hinata down to see Hyuuga Neji and Hyuuga Hanabi with unreadable expression on their faces and Hyuuga Hiashi glaring at him.
He smiled then kissed Hinata in front of everyone. She blushed before she clasped her hand with his.
Naruto faced the three Hyuugas, his stare competing with Hiashi's unchanging glare. He grinned.
"I'll marry Hyuuga Hinata, chichue!!!" he said proudly before bowing his head, Hinata followed.
"Tsch…" Hiashi gave the Kyuubi vessel another fierce look before a soft smile curled his lips.
"…I approve…" he said softly, the lines in his forehead remarkably gone when he smiled. Turning his back to go to Tsunade, he continued, "But try hurting my precious daughter and you're dead meat."
"Hai!!! I promise!!! I don't go back in my word!!"
Neji and Hanabi looked at the pair, a gentle smile on their lips, before they show their thumbs up and mouthing something before they followed Hiashi.
They both laughed, as they understand what the two had said.
'Hurt her and you'll die a painful death!!!'
"I will protect you and love you forever… Hinata…"
"I know…"
He bent down and kissed her. Oblivious to the thunderous uproar of clapping hands, to the happy smiles on their faces, to the remarks of those people important to them, they continued.
They feel like they can own the world…
Because they are together…
Love each other…
Eternally…
--
He went out, feeling a gnawing mixture of pain and happiness in his heart. His heart is broken, but he's happy. Because she's happy…
The girl he loves…
Is now with his bestfriend…
He's happy… As long as he can see his smiling face… As long as he can protect her smiles… he's contented…
Even though he told her about him finding another girl to love… The truth is it was a lie… He told her that because… he don't want her to worry about him… he did it to protect her smiles…
He doubt if he can find anyone else to replace her in his heart…
He feels like she's the only one he'll ever love…
For eternity…
In the stillness of the night, he smiled to himself remembering her soft smiles.
Standing under the dark sky that filled with so much stars…
Uchiha Sasuke….
