Bright future

Ch 21 - she's the one (part-1)

Naruto had just come home from his and Hinata's very first date

It had been Fairly simple and yet so perfect

They had startet out with Ramen from Ichiraku because Hinata had stated
"I would love to have some ramen"
When Naruto asked If she had a certain place she wanted to eat

Afterwards Naruto had prepered a Nice little setting on top of the Hokage mountain where they could look at the village only lit up by the Moon and the lights on the Streets and in Peoples homes

When Naruto dropped her off at her House her father Hiashi Hyuga quickly seung up the door before they had a chance for a Goodnight kiss
Naruto felt the tension so he quickly (much to Hiashi's dismay) kissed Hinata on the cheek

OoOoOoOoOo

At the moment however ...

Naruto was laying on the couch with Big Ear to Ear smile and with a very distant look

Both his parents were standing by the couch Exchanging looks
Naruto had been like that ever since he came home
About 20 minutes ago, and they were wondering If they should snap it out of it

However they both wore a knowing smile, remembering that they both used to be that Way when they startet dating, despite having had feelings for each other for years

"Pssst! Naruto.." Naruto whispered as she poked Naruto lightly on the cheek
He kept the same expresion but hummed a little "hm?" To witch Naruto replied "it's pretty late.. are you gonna lay Here all Night or?"
Naruto didn't answer for about 10 seconds
But then he snapped completely out of it
He jerked his head towards his mother and gave her a confused look, witch made Kushina giggle and Minato chuckle quietly

"Huh? Wha- what? Sorry i didn't hear you" Naruto Said still feeling perplexed

"I bet you didn't" Kushina Said finishing her giggle
She continued "i was asking If you were going to bed"

"Ohhhhhh! Right! Yeah i am.. it's okay that i tell you how it went tomorow right?"

"Yes of course, Goodnight Honey"
"Goodnight mom! Goodnight dad!"
"Goodnight son!"

—6 months later—

Nothing interesting really happened in the following 6 months

-Everyone went on missions

-Sai Got hypnotised by some guy named Genko
(Actually a Big Deal XD)

-Still nothing New about Sasuke

But something Big was about to go Down
Naruto had been thinking this over for a pretty long time and he was gonna ask his father for some very imortant advise

"Soooo? You Said you desperatly needed to talk.. is something wrong?" Minato asked leaning a bit in over the table to take a better look at his flushed son in front of him
"W-Well you see- i wanna- i Can- URGHH!— how do you propose?!" Naruto was even more flushed now, he had his eyes closed and could only imagne the look on his fathers face at that moment

Slowly Naruto began opening his eyes to see Minato in a State of shock

His eyes were wide
His mouth partly open
His arms still folded over the table
And sitting completely still like a statue

Minato shook his head, thereby snapping himself out of his State of shock, even though his shock was far from gone

"Y-You wanna propose to Hinata?"

"You'll answer my question first! Afterwards I'll tell you!"

Minato gave Naruto a playful 'are-you-kidding-me!? Smile' since his "Y-You wanna propose to Hinata?" Was far more of a statement than a question
But- whatever

"W-Well the surprise factor is key.. so don't go ask her how she would like to get Proposed to.."

First now Minato noticed the notebook that Naruto had begun writing keywords in
Minato smiled warmly, remembering when he was planning to propose to Kushina

Unfortunaly Minato had made the grave mistake to go to his father figure Jiraiya of the sanning for advise
To say the least Minato didn't take his advise

"-The spot you choose for the special moment can make or break the mood, choose somewhere she would be comfortable- also think If she would want there to be other people around while being proposed to

And!-
-ask for the parents blessing! Wouldn't want a salty father in law

I don't think i have much more advise.. i'm not an expert"

"You are married though! But thanks dad, it really was a Big Help! And to answer your question- yes i'm going to propose to Hinata, on our next date"

Minato couldn't Help himself anymore
He stood up and went over to Naruto, pulled out his chair, showing for him to stand up
And when Naruto then stood up he was brought into a tight embrace with his teary eyed father
