CHAPTER 1: PROPOSAL
"Will you marry me, my love?"
The soft gush of wind melted with the man's soft voice. Neji Hyuuga, an elite executive of one of the leading BPO companies in the country was kneeling in front of the person he wanted to share his entire life with. He's wearing a crisp suit, one he has never worn before, even on his most important meetings. This is a special occasion. In his hand was a velvet box where a simple silver ring rests. He has planned for this night for months. He wanted it to be perfect and everything was going smoothly. After their dinner, he brought his special someone in one of their favourite places, where people are scarce and the beautiful skyline is their company. He has reached the last hurdle and his voice constricted with emotions is a proof of how much he wanted this, of how much he was yearning to hear what he's longing for.
The one who has been offered the proposal was gaping, a hand on the mouth. Goosebumps flashed on the cinnamon skin. The deep-colour eyes were wet with tears of happiness as it stares at the long-haired man with tenderness and love. After a moment of two, the lips broke into a smile.
"Oh yes Neji, of course! I'll marry you, my love."
The kiss that followed was enough to seal their happiness.

Naruto was whistling while he was tapping on the keyboard. He adjusted his reading glasses and in doing so, his eyes caught sight of his hand, particularly the ring finger on his left. There glittering all happily was the ring that Neji gave him last night when the brunette proposed. The blonde cannot help the grin that was already forming on his lips. He chuckled. It's almost a dream. He and Neji has been a couple for four long years and the tan guy was almost losing hope of getting married.
Naruto sighed before he smiled again. Neji was all focused on his work, trying to prove himself to the higher-ups and his efforts weren't on vain. A few months ago he was promoted as one of the Vice Presidents of the company, a feat to be recognized since he was the first who was not a member of the family that owns the company to hold such title. He was very proud of him and he was scared at the same time.
They were having fights almost frequently after the said promotion. There was a serious one that nearly tore them apart. It was on their fourth anniversary. Naruto can recall like it only happened just today.
"Neji, can you please come home early today?" He was fixing his boyfriend's tie. It became a habit of him since he learned how to.
"Why? Is there something wrong, Naruto?" The clear lavender eyes were suddenly flooded with concern.
Naruto almost growled. His boyfriend seems to forget that it's their anniversary, but Naruto gave him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe Neji's planning something too.
"No. But I wanted to make you a special dinner. You'll have it here right?" The deep blue eyes sought the pale ones and their gazes locked. Neji knew that it'll be his downfall. He found himself agreeing.
"Thanks love! Be here by seven okay? No overtime. No urgent calls. No long meetings."
The brunette stifles a laugh. His Naruto sounds like a demanding wife, well the blonde's the wife if ever they'll be married.
"Yes." He dips his head and they shared a long heated kiss.

"Are you on your way?" It was the blonde's third call after the clock ticked six thirty. It now reads seven fifteen.
"No. Not yet love. I'm still reading some documents that the President needs before the day ends." Neji was buried under the piles of papers in his desk. When he was given the VP for External Affairs title his workload seems to triple.
"What?! But you said you'll be here by seven! Go home now please." He didn't care anymore if he sounded desperate. Today is their special day and they ought to celebrate it together.
"I'm really sorry my love, but Mr. Uchiha required that I finish this. He's here as well. I promise I'll go straight home when I get this done."
The name of his boyfriend's superior made his mood worse. "I don't fucking care if that damn Uchiha's waiting. I'm waiting here too Neji! Leave your office now."
"Don't be like that Naruto. Learn to respect my superior. I won't be here if he hasn't given me his trust." There was a pause before Neji said, "I'm sorry but this will take at least a couple of hours."
"Your work has always been your priority. I hope you'll enjoy our fourth anniversary with your documents and your boss!" He slammed the phone on the cradle. He should never have expected anything.
He mournfully shot a look at the table which was set with sumptuous food, all their favourites. He faintly heard the music that was playing in the background. He started to put the food away before he set off to bed. It was so lonely having to sleep alone. His lover's work has not only taken their time together, but it seems it was taking Neji away from him too.
Naruto's thought flew over the Uchiha. He has met the man before when Neji asked him to go with him in their company's annual party. The Uchiha struck Naruto as one stuck-up bastard. He was one of the reasons why Neji missed their dates, why Neji's always exhausted, why Neji don't even have the energy to make love with him. Naruto refers to him as the slave driver and has no concern for his subordinates as long as their work gets done. Unconsciously his eyes tear up with fury. Tonight was supposed to be special only to be taken away from him again.
On the bedside table, his cell phone was ringing but he didn't make any effort to answer it. He knows it was Neji calling him. No words can pacify him. He wanted no comfort; he wanted Neji to be beside him. The ringing stopped and the blonde remained on his bed, unmoving. After a few seconds it rang again. Naruto only looked at the device until it stopped again. He waited for the third attempt and told himself that he should not sulk; perhaps talking will help him to calm. But the call never came. Neji gave up after two tries. He slept with tears cascading his face.
When he woke up the following morning, the first thing he saw were the rose petals artistically scattered all over their carpeted bedroom floor. He rubbed his eyes in case he was hallucinating. But then the most familiar voice rang in his ears. Neji was standing at the door, wearing a shirt and his sleeping pants, with a cake and a long stemmed red rose.
"I deeply apologize for forgetting that it was our anniversary, my love. I hope you can forgive me."
Naruto frowned. Does Neji think it can be settled with just this? He crossed his arms on his chest.
"Naruto, I'm really sorry. It won't happen again, I swear. I took the day off just to spend it with you. We can celebrate today. I'll take you anywhere you like."
"Neji, our anniversary has already passed. Technically we don't have anything to celebrate today. Why don't you just go to work?"
The brunette approached the bed, placing the cake and the flower beside him. He grabbed a tan hand and placed a kiss on it. Naruto tried to pull back but Neji held it more firmly.
"Come on love. Don't be mad please. I'm all yours today." The lips that were attached to the hand moved upward until it reached the tan neck. He gently sucked before lapping the soft skin. Naruto mewled. The pale hands travelled down to the toned legs before it settled in the blonde's crotch.
"Geez Neji!"
"You don't like it?"
Naruto pouted. Don't like it? He's been dying to have it! It was weeks since they used the bed for anything other than to sleep.
"Just let me wash my face. Anyway, I didn't know you can be this romantic." He gestured for the petals and the cake.
"It was Mr. Uchiha's idea to be honest. I told him I forgot that it was our anniversary yesterday. He suggested I make it up to you by doing this. Is it effective?"
So it was Mr. Uchiha again. Naruto feels that the man has become part of their relationship, like he was always there between the two of them.
He forced himself to stop from retorting. Today, nobody can stop his happiness, not even that Mr. Uchiha.
"Is that so? It's only effective since it's you doing it." He cheekily grinned before placing a chaste kiss on the other guy's lips. "I'll be back in a jiffy. I hope you can last until sunset." He winked and headed to the bathroom. Before he closed the door, he heard the hearty laugh of his lover.
Definitely, today is going to be spectacular.
"Hey blondie, what the hell are you grinning for like an idiot?"
"Oy Kiba! I didn't see you coming." Naruto exclaimed as his best friend took a seat across his table and handed him some papers. "How are the deliveries?" He scanned the files, uncapped his pen and started to sign the papers.
"It's fine. I had the flowers transported in the venues. Ino's the one taking charge of the wedding in Tagaytay1 while Hinata's the one taking care of the beach wedding." The brunette took a framed picture on the blonde's table. It was of Naruto and Neji together.
"Good. We have a big event coming up. It's another wedding though. Silver wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Velarde. Their one of our first clients and still giving us a hand anytime we need it. I want the whole team working on this. We're not taking up any more weddings until this is done, except for small gatherings/meetings and other parties."
Kiba set the photo down and groaned. "What's with all the weddings these days? People getting hitched up left and right."
"I don't know but this is good for the business." He grinned.
"Of course. So where did he took you last night?"
Naruto faintly blushed. All of his friends knew of his and Neji's relationship. In fact it was because Hinata was Neji's cousin that the two guys met through a Hyuuga's party which the blonde's small company organized.
Naruto decided it's best to tease his friend a bit. He didn't reply but dramatically placed his left hand over his mouth, wriggling his ring finger.
"Dumb ass. I asked you a question. What the hell are you doing?"
Kiba creased his brows while looking at his friend. It was only after a few seconds that he did notice the strange little object glinting.
"WHAT THE FUCK?! Is that an engagement ring?!"
Naruto howled with laughter. His friend's reaction was hilarious. The brunette's eyes were bulging with disbelief.
"Oh yes, you mutt. I'm getting hitched too."

"Good morning Mr. Hyuuga." The secretary greeted the man who strode pass her table, straight into the double glass door of the President's office. She was left with a curt nod.
Neji Hyuuga, Vice President for External Affairs of the Uchiha Corp was gracefully walking into the lavish office of the company's President. The tall man with dark hair, clad in an expensive suit has his back at him, looking past the glass window.
"Mr. Uchiha." He called over the figure. Slowly, the tall frame turned, now to reveal a very handsome man, with pale, smooth skin, wise dark orbs, an almost perfect nose and thin luscious lips.
"So Neji, tell me, how was your proposal?" His voice was cold yet suave.
If someone was to hear the question, one will merely think of it as another business proposal between corporate men but with these two speaking both knew it was a different one.
"It went very well Sir. Naruto said yes. We're getting married." The lips of Neji slipped into a smile.
However the words spoken made Sasuke Uchiha's heart broke into pieces.
A/N: I don't know what I'm thinking honestly. I have at least three other stories to update but here I am venturing on a new one. I'm crazy, yes, I think that's given. Bear with me.
This is an eventual SasuNaru I assure you. We just have NejiNaru for now but I'm not writing any NejiNaru lemon. There'll be grammatical errors here and there so my apologies beforehand. This, like all my stories will be unbeta'd. Not sure on some other pairings and stuff. I'll develop them as I go. I'm hoping that I won't be dragging this story. I wanted this to be fifteen chapters at most but I can never be sure.
So please review and tell me how's this. Is this worth continuing? Thanks for reading!
