Here's the fourth installment! A bit disappointed that this story's about to end yet didn't gain much reviews. But it's okay. I'll just work harder and write better stories in the future. To those who stuck with me on this fic, thank you so much. Totally owe it to you guys.
As usual, I do hope this chapter brings a smile on your faces.
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. Only this story.
Chapter Four
It's Only Words
"Sasuke-kun, where are we going?"
"Hn."
"The firework's about to start."
"Aa."
"Our friends might be looking for us."
"Let them."
"But Sasuke-kun-"
"Just...shut up, Sakura."
Pout.
"Sasuke-kun, I can feel the sand and I can smell the sea. Are we on the beach?"
"Maybe."
"But the festival's on the other side."
"I know."
"Then why are we here?"
Silence.
"Sakura."
"Yes, Sasuke-kun?"
"Stop being annoying and take off your blind fold."
Rustle.
Blink.
Stare.
"Uh, Sasuke-kun, why is there a blanket, a basket of food and wine? Are we doing picnic?"
"Hn."
Smiles.
Hugs.
"Aww, that's romantic! You remembered our anniversary!"
"It's not like I'd forget seeing as it's the same day as the festival."
"But this is the first time you took me to a picnic at the beach after seven years of being a couple. Ne, Sasuke-kun, if I didn't know better, I'd think you're about to propose to me."
An eye twitches.
Eyebrows furrow.
Eyes widen.
Gasp.
"OH MY GOD, SASUKE-KUN, YOU ARE GOING TO PROPOSE!"
"..."
Wince.
"Oh, shit, did I kill the moment, Sasuke-kun?"
"Aa, you did."
Fidgets.
"Hehe..."
Sigh.
This wasn't how it's supposed to be.
Rustle.
Open palm.
"This is the traditional Uchiha engagement ring as passed down from generations. Since my aniki still has no plans to settle down, I got our grandmother's."
"...Oh."
Kneels.
Holds one hand.
"Sakura, you know I'm not the expressive kind of guy. I easily get annoyed, especially by you, I'm quiet, you talk a lot, like you've eaten a truck load of Energizer, I don't like sweets and fancy things unlike you and doing things that are nonsense, like kneeling-"
"You jerkface-!"
"-but I accept you as you are the way you accepted the whole me. I can talk to you nonstop if you've asked me to, I can swallow every single candy in the world, I can run naked through the whole town with your name printed on my chest and shout how much I love you, but to spend the Firework's festival without you and that silly hat of yours by my side is something I couldn't bear. That being said, will you, Haruno Sakura, marry me, Uchiha Sasuke and attend the Firework's festival next year, and the years to come, as my wife?
Tear.
Sniff.
Smile.
"Yes, of course, Sasuke-kun. It's what I've always wanted!"
Smirk.
Slips on the ring.
Hugs.
Kiss.
"Thank you for making me so happy, Sasuke-kun. I love you so much."
Smirks.
"Hn."
Scowls.
SMACK!
"Ow!"
Narrows eyes.
"I love you, Sasuke-kun."
Sighs.
"Aa. I love you too, Sakura."
Beams.
Kiss.
Fireworks display.
Hn. I wonder if the others are mad right now.
"What's taking teme so long? These dogs stink!"
"Hey, shut up, Naruto! They take a bath everyday, unlike you!"
"K-Kiba-kun, please don't f-fight with N-Naruto-kun."
"Yeah, shut up you both or Sakura might hear us and become suspicious. Just keep the dogs in line according to their assigned words."
"Tomboy is right. Dickless' and Doggy's loud voice can reach till Suna. Let's just wait for Emo Bastard's signal in time with the fireworks."
SMACK!
"Yes, my wonderful Tenten, show your youthful spirit! Yosh!"
"Ugh, I can't wait any longer! I have to see what's going on!"
"Ino, don't move. There's a beetle on your hair."
"AAAARRGGGHHHH! Shino, get it off!"
"SSSHHHHHH!"
Chomp-chomp. "Hey, look, the firework's started." Chomp-chomp.
Stares.
"Hey, if the firework's have started, then..."
"OH, MY GOSH, LOOK! FOREHEAD AND SASUKE'S ALREADY KISSING! AND SHE'S WEARING THE RING!"
"Oh."
"That teme! I sacrificed my ramen for this!"
"Wow, what an amazing display of love and youthfulness!"
"Hey, he'd still pay for the dogs, right?"
"Ino, the beetle's still on your hair."
"AAAARRGGGHHHH!"
"Troublesome."
"Hn. Indeed."
