It's been a while since you last saw him.

You thought those exact words back when you were a kid, waiting for a certain clumsy Uchiha boy to come back from his mission. Whether he was injured or the same. But now, it was a different scenario.

Obito had gone off with Sasuke, as a way to redeem himself to the world and the harm he had inflicted on the village. It wouldn't heal everything that had already happened yes, but he's willing to change.

"I'll marry you once I have returned" he said— promised you. Your heart almost leaped out of your chest and your face was as hot as a tomato when he declared it so boldly at the main gate in front of everyone. You accepted nonetheless, took him long enough. One thing he did mention before proposing however was something about a ring, how the people in a village near the Land of Redaku use any types of jewels and have it forged to a shape of a ring when they got married.

As you began to walk home with a bag of groceries in your arms you couldn't help but wonder if he truly would give you a ring or so. All you could do was wait.
