Disclaimer: Fan of Fanfics21 does not own Naruto or Hyperdimension Neptunia, oh, and Happy White Day to you lucky guys in Japan!
Naruto was nervous about today. He made the necessary gifts for the holiday and this was his biggest gamble, for today is White Day, where the boys in return give a gift to a girl that gave them chocolate for Valentine's Day a month ago. Now all he had to do was add the final touch to his gift and see if she will accept it. He had been with Neptune for a long time ever since they first meet many years ago, their relationship being that of lovers now and he wanted to pledge an oath to her, one about being on her side till the end of days together. An eternity that will last in their hearts, but the main problem is that she's a goddess and he was mortal. While she'll remain the same forever, he will grow older over the years until one day he will die too. That was his dilemma for White Day.
"Well, better face the music and the scenario, after all, the fat lady hasn't sung yet." Naruto told himself as he steeled himself to make the ultimate gamble with his relationship with Neptune once and for all. He braced himself as he proceeded to enter the Basilicom and was greeted by the site of Nepgear and Histoire currently working at the moment. Using his advanced ninja stealth, he snuck right under their noses and proceeded to sneak into Neptune's room. It was full of various stuffed toys and collectibles as said owner of the room was knocked out on her bed, and what Naruto noticed was a pile of signed paper work. "She's been serious with her duties ever since Nepgear became curious of a CPU's job and with Histy adding salt to her wounds when her little sis realized how…slacked off Nep has been." He though as he went to her bed and sat by her sleeping form.
"Happy White Day Neptune, too bad you'll wake up without seeing the gifts with me." He told her. This had an instant effect on the girl as the next thing Naruto knew, he was on the ground with Neptune hugging his torso. Did he forget to mention the bone crushing force she was applying with her hug? "Ah, thanks Naruto! I'm glad you remembered that today is White Day." Neptune said as Naruto felt his lungs collapsing from the force of the hug. "Nep-Nep…air…can't…breathe…" he gasped out. "Whoops, sorry Naruto." Neptune said as she let go of him as he sat up and began gasping for air.
"Here," he said holding out a wrapped package in his hands, "Happy White-"
*Fwoom*
"…Day." Naruto finished lamely as Neptune swiped the gift and proceeded to unwrap it. "Awesome, white chocolate made by you is asskickery!" Neptune said as she proceeded to chow down. The sweet, gentle flavor of the white chocolate was indulging; she was savoring the flavor by chewing it slowly. As she bit down into the white chocolate again and began chewing it, she bit something hard. It was round and had a hollow part, it was circular. Curious, Neptune spat it out into her hand and brushed off the remaining chocolate on it.
It was a ring, one with a large purple gem on it, and Neptune had never seen anything like it. The craftsmanship was excellent, and beautiful beyond anything she had ever seen. "Hey Naruto, what kind of ring is this?" she asked, showing Naruto the ring as he looked at it. "Oh, so that's where it went." Naruto spoke up, gaining Neptune's attention. "You know what this ring is?" Neptune asked. "It's a wedding ring." He replied, causing Neptune to blink. "Oh? So who is it for?" She asked curiously, her eyes sparking with excitement as Naruto looked sheepish and looked at her. "It's for you." He replied.

"If you aren't ready to accept, then I can-"
"Neppu…!" Neptune exclaimed startling Naruto as her face became a fiery red as she looked at him. "Y-You mean a proposal?!" she asked with a stutter as Naruto nodded. "Yes, well…" he said looking nervous, one of the rare occasions he's done this. "I…I want to be by your side forever Neptune, because I…" he replied, looking straight at her eyes with his own. "Because I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you till the very end." He told her with truth. Neptune had faced many types of monsters, evil goddesses, and even evil EGGPLANTS, but something like this was a terrifying moment for her. She loved Naruto, but she had forgotten that she was a goddess and would never age, leaving Naruto to age and die at the hands of time. Unless…
"Thank you Naruto," Neptune replied, holding his hands as she looked at his face with a caring look. "I'll just give up the right as a goddess away, to become human and to be by your side, because…" she said looking at him, "I love you too, and I want to spend my time with you as well. Besides, no goddess can rule forever." She replied. Then it clicked in, "Oh, and Mr. Smarty-pants, you forgot the traditional way of proposing to a girl." She said as Naruto felt dumb at that missing detail. As he took the ring and knelt, Neptune stood up. "Neptune," he said, holding the ring in front of him as he looked into her eyes. "Will you…marry me?" he asked.
This question usually unnerve men who dare ask this question to a girl they love. Out of fear they would say no, but with Neptune… "I do." She replied happily as Naruto slipped the ring onto her finger as he stood, looking directly into her eyes. Their bond at this point was unbreakable; a bond so powerful, that nothing can no longer separate them. Neptune's Maelstrom was staying in Gameindustri for good this time. They kissed, one full of conviction, love, trust, and utter devotion to each other as the aroma of chocolates filled the air like on Valentine's Day, as the loyal warrior and the goddess spent this fraction of eternity with each other, together to the very end.
