"Why have you brought us here, Kakashi?" Choza asked, crossing his arms and sitting on his legs.

Iruka sat next to his sensei, already aware of what was going on, but of course, he had to be a tease about it. He copied his sensei; sitting on his legs with his arms crossed, and giving Kakashi a smug look.

"Choza-sensei, I'd like to talk to you about something."

"Why do you look like you're about to soil yourself, Kakashi-senpai?"

"Iruka, let him speak."

This felt more pressuring than missions. Kakashi felt cold sweat running down his back and his hands felt clammy. He sat across the two, "I... As her sensei-"

"Who?" Iruka interjected, taking advantage of his golden opportunity.

"Akira. Who else?"

"Thought you were talking about Tenzo." He snickered,

"Stop it, Iruka." Choza scolded,

"Choza-sensei, I've been giving it some deep thought. A lot of things have happened, and there were some setbacks. But I really believe I'm ready. I'd like to ask your permission. I'd like to ask Akira to marry me. You too, Iruka. I want to ask the two of you for your blessing. T-that's why I've asked to meet the two of you." He bowed, placing his hands on his thighs and bending his elbows to the side. "I'm asking for your blessing to ask Akira to marry me."

"Does she know you're here?"

"No, she thinks I'm just out with Iruka."

"She trusts you too much." Iruka rolled his eyes,

"Raise your head, Kakashi. Please, there's no need for such formality."

"Well, it's customary to ask the parents for their blessing... But in this case... Also, she cares about your well-being the most."

"It's comical to think that we have any control over what Akira decides." The man chuckled, "As long as she's happy, then, of course, you have my blessing."

"Yeah, you have my blessing too. I haven't seen her smile like that when she talks about you. Akira is like a big sister to me, Kakashi-senpai, and seeing her happy makes me happy too."

"Don't you go thinking I've never noticed." Choza added, "You two can't hide it."

"T-thank you."

"Please look after her."

"I will, Choza-sensei!" He bowed again,

"You really didn't need to go this far to ask us, you know?"

"Iruka, stop. He's just being considerate. You said she's like a big sister to you. It's good that Kakashi got you involved."

"Relax, sensei! He's always bothering me! It's fun to be on the other side!"

"If I may say something?"

"Please." Kakashi nodded,

"Being married to someone and being with someone is different. What made you think it was time?"

"Because I've prayed that her parents would give me a sign. I asked for their blessing as well when I visited them. And one night, I just had this feeling – like they were both there. I've been thinking about that for months. I found her mother during the nine-tails attack. Before she died, she gave me her wedding ring." He pulled out the ring that he had managed to hide from everyone for years, "I've kept it with me ever since, just waiting for the right time."
