Soulmates - [ GaaNaru / Gaara x Naruto ]

Epilogue

Naruto's p.o.v.

3 Years later

Today was a very special day for me and Gaara. Exactly 3 years ago we started dating, so I prepared something huge for this day. Something so huge, that it's going to change both of our lifes forever. Today I, Naruto Uzumaki, am going to propose to my beloved boyfriend of 3 years, Gaara. My heart was going crazy the last couple of weeks, but right now it feels even worse, like it's going to burst at any time. I had everything planned out, the perfect location, our rings and my attire. Of course I would be wearing a suit for him, hopefully making him feel very special. I can't wait to see his reaction and, of course, hear his voice when he tells me his answer.

I hope he's going to say 'yes' of course, but if not, I wouldn't know what I'd do. What if he says 'no'? I'm not sure if he's ready for this big step. I just can't bear it anymore. I want to be engaged with him and get married later on. I want to be his everything and I want him to be my one and only. I want to wear those rings in public, holding hands as we'll be walking down the street. I couldn't wait anymore, I'm going to make him completely mine tonight.

I informed everyone from Konoha, as well as some ninjas from Suna. Gaara's best friends and senseis will be there, as well as my whole village. Even Kakashi sensei promised that he's going to arrive on time. I was kinda touched as I heard him say that. As long as I knew him, he was NEVER on time.

As I told my friends about the engagement, they couldn't believe it at first and were really happy for me. After all, I was the first one of our age group who was getting married....maybe. Gaara has to say 'yes' first, of course.

I told everyone to wait in front of the building I'm gonna propose on and to cheer as soon as they hear his agreement. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of it. It's going to be a huge step for both of us, but it felt right. It felt so damn right. There isn't anything in the world I'd want to do more than that. I'm ready for this.

I sent Konohamaru and his team on a mission with Gaara, so I had more time setting everything up. I told the teens to bring Gaara up the building as soon as they were back, but I explained to him, that he had to lead him up from the back, so Gaara couldn't see all the people standing in front of the building. I even had a microphone, so everyone down there could hear what we were saying. The most important people, however, will be standing on the roof with us. This includes Kakashi, Sakura, Jiraya, Iruka, Temari and Kankuro. I was looking forward to it and I was nervous as hell.

At 3:30 pm. I put on my suit and styled my hair. I put some gel in them and brushed them back, looking unusual but good. Then I looked in the mirror and smiled a little. Everything's going to be okay, I told myself. I took a deep breath and walked out of my apartment, where Sakura and Iruka were already waiting for me. They waved at me as soon as they saw me and I waved back immediately.

"Hey, Naruto! Ready for your big day?" Iruka sensei's words were causing another wave of anxiety to run through my whole body.
"Yes and no. I'm ready for this big step but I'm kinda scared of tonight..."
My words caused Iruka sensei to laugh.
"Well, I think no one is truly prepared for this, it's perfectly normal to feel scared."
His words calmed me down a bit. "Yeah, Naruto. I think you're actually pretty brave for doing something like this!" Sakura told me with a reassuring smile. "You got this, Naruto!"
"Yeah, Sakura's right! Everythings gonna be okay, don't worry!" Iruka and Sakura smiled at me, causing a smile to form on my lips as well.

After calming myself down a bit, we made our way to the tall building. As we arrived, we were greeted by all the people on the roof. Jiraya and Kakashi sensei walked over to us, as soon as they saw me and greeted me happily, pulling me into a short hug and speaking a few words of comfort. Then, Temari and Kankuro walked over as well and calmed me down the best they could, as they could see how nervous I was.
