Our Journey (A SasuSaku love story)

Chapter 1: It's About Time

Sasuke's POV

Me and Sakura were dating got a few years now.
I sighed.

I think it's time.

I nervously fiddled with my fingers, wondering how should I break it down to her.
I've spent countless days akwardly practicing for this moment in front of the mirror, but it's so hard to finally say it.

I finally decided to make my move right before the dinner she invited me to tomorrow.
The whole gang was in on it.

I've met her parents far to many times and we've become quite good friends, I should say. I've already asked them permission and they said yes.
I secretly told everyone but Sakuka about this descicions I made.
I was rewarded with excited squeaks, loopsided grins and really painful high-fives.

Now all I need is for Sakura's approval.

This could go down two ways, I thought.
Either I would be thrown into the dirt with a big fat no or answered with an excited yes.

I gripped the back of my neck and sighed again.

I want Sakura to be my wife.

========================
Sakura's POV

Why is everyone acting so weird towards me?

Ino and the girls are being oddly nice and Naruto and the boys have been willingly to pay for our dinner.
They also planned a fancy dinner at the beach right before it turned afternoon.

Normally, the boys would get drunk and us girls have to pay after them and bring them home. It's was such a pain.

But surprisingly, today's dinner did not include beer or wine. But one thing for sure, it did not include Sasuke kun too.

The girls were flirting with their boys and the order was already placed.

But he was still not here yet.

I felt a sharp tap beside me and saw Temari grinning.

"Your main dish haven't come yet, hmm?"

I blushed.
"I mean, yea, he's a whole meal, I guess."

Ino snorted from across the table. Sai,who was sitting beside her, flinched and though that Ino accidentally choked on her water nervously asked if she was fine.

Naruto smiled from ear to ear and said,
"Don't worry! He's just a little busy with that seasoning, that's all!"
Hinata who was clutching on his hand gentlely chuckled.

I anxiously checked my phone.
Ten minuetes has passed but it felt like few hours.

Finally, there I saw him.
He was looking really handsome and was dressed neatly.

He sat near me and smiled.

=========================
Sasuke's POV

If I have the chance, I would really love to chidori myself and tear my heart apart.

I was late for my own proposal and left my future wife waiting at the restaurant all on her own.
(Though her friends are there, but still.)

I sat beside her with my heart thumping loudly and I smiled at her.
I watched as her eyes lit up and her face turn red like a tomato.

I left a small kiss at her cheek as she wondered why I was acting romantically weird.
I had no idea either.

"Sorry I'm late." I muttered.

She desperately hugged me and said,
"It's okay. At last you came."

Then we started eating.
Everyone was giving me a death glare.
It clearly said 'DO YOUR MOVE! DO. IT. NOW.'

I looked at Sakura who was eating her sushi.
I've never seen someone who can eat beautifully.

'Damn now I just sound weird.' I thought to myself.

I stood up and asked Sakura to meet me at the beach because I have a surprise for her.

========================
Sakura POV

I stare at my boyfriend as he walked out of the restaurant.
I immediately popped red in front of my friends while they were making weird faces and kissing sounds.

"This is such a drag but sh*t's about to get real"
Shikamaru yawned, straighten his back and then smirked.

Temari sighed and leaned onto Shikamaru and fanned herself with a mini version of her oversized fan she always bring around.
"Whatcha waiting for? Go!"

I snapped my attention to my food, nervously chomping on a few more sushis and stepped out side.
(Choji who was willing to finish it for me sadly looked at my empty plate while Karui ordered for more)

I saw Sasuke hands behind his back and eyes glued to the sand.

I nervously scooted towards him and and smiled.

"So, uh, Sakura." He began.
"So, you know how we've been together for a few years?"

"Yea?"

Sasuke held my hands and brushed my fingers.

"I just want to say, ever since we were small, my eyes are always set for you and only you. I was blinded by revenge and has never though of my future, but no doubt about it, I get butterflies everytime you looked at me with your emerald eyes."

This is getting a little too romantic.
I rolled my eyes and blushed.

"I've always loved you. I just never show it. I was embarrassed and was ignoring that fact. But you changed me. You never gave up on me. You were the strongest person I have ever met. Not only physically but mentally. No matter how many tears you shed, you still never gave up. That's when I realised that you were the one true person that I can rely on and the only person I can ever love."

Conclusions starting to pop into my head.
Sudden flashbacks and romantic words?

My eyes widen.
He can't be!

"I think it's finally the time we make our journey together last forever."

Sasuke got down on his knees and kissed my hand.

My heart was pounding so hard against my chest.
He's doing it, isn't he?

"I don't have a ring for you, but I want you to wear something more meaningful and important, something that is a big part of me and I want to share it with you. I want you to wear the Uchiha clan crest on the back of your clothes for the rest of your life.

Haruno Sakura,
Will you marry me?"

I felt my eyes stinging.
My heart was pounding even louder than before.

He did it!

I was overjoyed.
I jumped and hugged my love.
Tears streamed down my cheek ruining my make-up but I didn't care.

"YES! YES! IT'S A HONOR!"

Everyone (including our teachers) jumped out of suspicious looking bush near by.
The girls was screaming and hugging each other as the boys high five each other and cheered.

(Except Naruto, he was screaming and hugging the girls too.)

I laughed and looked at my husband.
He was tucking my hair behind my ear while giving a soft smile.

I can't believe it!
I am now Uchiha Sakura.
