Chapter 10


Naruto pov-


“Iruka sensei, I wasn’t expecting you today.” I said after opening the
door.


“Well I knew you were getting that ‘scan’ today and I wanted to know how it went.” he said, looking at me expectantly


“Hmm, you might want to come in and sit. Suke’s in the living room now.” I say, letting him through the door. “Isn’t Kakashi with you?” I ask, seeing him alone.


“No. I was with him this morning before he had to go see Hokage-sama, but he’ll be along later I’m sure.” he said, moving towards the living room.


After we walk into the living room I let Iruka sit in the arm chair to the side of the couch as I sat next to Sasuke, who put down his book again to look at Iruka. “Iruka sensei, let me guess, you’re here about the scans we had today.” Sasuke states as he watches us get comfortable.


“Always were a fast one Sasuke. Yes, though Naruto said I needed to sit to hear about it and that doesn’t sit very well for me. Has something happened? I told Kakashi I had reason to worry. What is it?” he asks getting into worry faze far to fast. Quickly I move to assure him that nothing is ‘wrong’.


“There’s nothing to worry about. Nothing bad has happened. Actually, I think we’re happy about it.” I say, feeling a small smile grace my lips.


“Then what is it?” Iruka asks, looking from me to Sasuke then back, his brows furrowed.


“Naruto and I have started a bonding that most demons and there mates start. It’s a form of marriage so to speak is what I gather. Though it would have been nice if we had been together for longer than 2 weeks when it started, but I couldn’t be happier about it.”


“So that’s what all this is about, you sat me down to tell me you’re in the process of getting married? Oh I’m soo happy for you.” Oh no, Iruka’s eyes are starting to glisten. Oh yep, there he goes, he has tears. Damn it, now I’m gonna start.


“Well, I’m glad your okay about this. I don’t know what I’d do if you weren’t.” I say, smiling at him before cuddling closer to Sasuke.


“So is this going to be an actual wedding or does it just happen? How does this work so I know what to tell Sakura to plan?”


“I’m afraid that Sakura knows more than we do at the moment. She’s the one doing most of the research for us. As far as we know, this just kinda happens.” I say with a shrug. He smiles sadly at me, I see. ‘He knows I’d like a real wedding. Well, maybe I can still have one. People can still have weddings after they marry each other, they do it all the time.’


‘Naru, what’s wrong?’ I hear Sasuke ask in my head. Sighing, I turn and smile at him, shaking my head.

‘Nothing’s wrong, love.’


‘Your lying again. I know that tone, even in my head. You want a wedding don’t you?’


‘It would be nice, yes. But I understand that it probably won’t be happening, so there’s no use in thinking about it.’ I smile sadly at him and he frowns at me.


He reaches out a hand and gently he stokes my cheek, looking into my eye’s. I’m lost in his, the emotions I see in them, tell me so much. I know he loves me, even if he never says it again, I can see it in his eyes. I hear a gasp as he pulls me closer until the only thing I can see are his eye’s. Gently he brushes his lips against mine and whispers. “Marry me? Before the bond is complete, marry me.” Finally our lips meet in a chaste kiss. I feel all his love in that kiss. It’s so powerful, so unexpected that all I can do is moan and pull him closer, so lost in the feel of him against me, his mouth working mine until we pull away, panting against each other.


“Yes.” is all I can say as I rest my forehead against his.


“I missed a whole conversation there, didn’t I?” I hear Iruka somewhere behind me.


Turning, I look at him, a smile planted wide on my lips. “It looks like there will be a wedding to plan after all.” I say, waiting for that to sink in, and I see as a bright smile spreads across his lips as well.


“I’m so happy for you both. When will this be happening?” he asks, excited.


“Iruka, he only just asked me.” I say, smiling. “But it will be soon. Very soon I believe.”

Norm pov- with Iruka and Kakashi-


“So he did it, did he? I’m shocked it only took a few months for him to realize what I’ve been watching all these years.” Kakashi said as he looked around the vegetable stand.


“Oh shush, Kakashi. Don’t ruin my happy moment.” Iruka huffed as he went about their shopping trip. “Oh, don’t get those, they’ll be bad in a few days,
you know that.”


“But I want them. I promise to eat them all this time, Ru.” Kakashi said pleadingly.


“I will not be cleaning out the fridge this time, you got me. It was rank the last time I had to do that for those blasted things.” Iruka said, moving on while Kakashi paid for a few of his prized onions.

+++++


Norm pov- Naruto and Sakura-


“Sakura-chan, you have to help me!” Naruto begged as he walked back in forth in front of her work desk.


“And how am I to help you?” she asked, confused at her friends pacing.


“Tell me what this bonding entails. What’s going to happen and when? Suke and I want to get married before the bonding is complete but we don’t have all the facts on it!” he explained, stopping to flop down in a chair that sat by the desk.


“Well, I told Hokage-sama most of it, the only thing I left out was pregnancy since it didn’t say much other than ‘demon lines must continue on’, like that makes any sense. And once the bond has started it will do almost anything to complete as soon as possible. And if what I read is correct, then you are already halfway there.” she said, trying to explain what she knew though she was frustrated at what she didn’t know. “So your getting married to Sasuke now, are you? When’s the wedding happening?”


“That’s why I was asking about the bonding time frame since we want to be wed before completing it. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to complete it but I want a real wedding. One that’s been planed out and all our friends are at. Call me old fashioned in that way. I can’t wait to see him all dolled up, telling everyone that its me he loves till forever, you know…” he sighed, his body slowly relaxing more into the chair.


“Who knew you were such a romantic, Naruto. Hokage-sama told me a little about how you’ve been feeling; I think it has to do with the bonding and wanting it completed. I think once it has been accomplished that you will feel more yourself than you have in a long while. I’d say do the wedding soon for your wedding night will be wild.” She smirked at his blush.

“Alright. Well, I guess you’ll be going to a wedding sooner than later, Sakura.” he said, standing back up. “I’ll talk to you later; I have to go talk with Suke.” he said, walking towards the door and waving quickly before leaving.

A week has passed since the ‘engagement’ announcement. Choosing to be wed before the end of the year, planning was an ever constant at the Uchiha house with Sakura, Ino and Iruka helping them plan everything. By December 23, the two would be wed.


Some five days before the wedding, screaming could be heard coming from the Uchiha household.


“You are not wearing that!” Sasuke yelled for all to hear.


“Why not? There is nothing wrong with it.” Naruto screamed back, not sure why they had to fight about what he was wearing.


“You. Are. A. Man. You’re not going to wear a woman’s wedding gown.” he said, his voice dripping with finality.


“But someone has to. And it was given to me by baa-chan; it was my mothers. Why... why can’t… I wear it?” Naruto said, tears starting to gather in his eye’s.


“Naruto, do you really want to wear your mothers kimono? If you really want to that’s fine, I just thought you’d be more comfortable wearing…”


“I know and you’re right, I would, but I’m too small to wear my fathers, and hers was really beautiful. You’ll see, I won’t embarrass us.”


“I’m not worried about my embarrassment; it's yours I worry about. But if it will make you happy, then fine, alright, as long as you’re happy… its all that matters to me. This is for you love; this is your wedding and I want it perfect for you, okay.” Sasuke said, brushing a strand of hair behind Naruto’s ear as he bent to kiss him.

+++++

On December 23rd, Sasuke and Naruto were married; the simple wedding held on the Uchiha grounds. Very few were invited, only their closest friends were there. In the background you could hear both Sakura and Iruka crying.


“Naruto, do you promise all that I have asked you?” Hokage-sama asked.


“With all my heart.” I answer as I looked into Sasuke’s eyes. He’s smiling at me, really smiling. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him this happy or relieved.


“And do you, Sasuke, promise all that I have asked you?” Hokage asked Sasuke. I never heard what she asked, but I see the answer even before his lips move to form the words.


“With all my heart, I promise.” he says, his eye’s speaking far louder than his voice ever could. I gasp at the intensity I see in them.


With gentle hands he cups my face, bringing us closer together. “With all my heart, I am yours forever.” he whispers against my lips before taking them in a deep kiss.


With that, they call us married. We are now Mr. and Mr. Uchiha. We fought over that as well, both of us being alone; there was no other to carry our names. But I pushed, saying that I will take his name as he takes my bond and the fight ended there.

Sasuke pov-


“So, how are you planning to spend the honeymoon, Sasuke?” Kiba asked as he downed another drink.


“Kiba, how do you think I’m going to spend my honeymoon, you baka!”


“Eh, I was only asking…”


“Well don’t. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to go rescue my husband from an excited Sakura.” I chuckle as I watch her spin him around the small
dance floor again as he tries to not trip over his gown.


“May I cut in?” I ask, taping her on the shoulder. She nods her head at me and spins my blushing "bride" into my arms.


“Kami, thank you.” he breaths into my shoulder as I wrap my arms around his waist, pulling him closer.


"I thought you might need some rescuing. I missed not having you at my side. I was stuck with Kiba asking about the honeymoon. He can really be a total idiot sometimes."


"What did he want to know, which position in bed we’d be in?” he asks, smirking up at me.


“He asked what we’d be doing for our honeymoon…”


“Ah yes, he was being an idiot asking that. He should have known that you’d be doing me; nothing else really matters, eh.” he said, smiling into my chest before letting out a small chuckle again. “Mmm, how much longer do we need to be here before we can go to our room and start the honeymoon that everyone keeps talking about?”


“Keep moaning like that and we won’t make it back to our rooms before I pounce on you.”


“Mmm, promise? Come love, we’ve had our cake; we’ve had our dance, let us go to our room and make love for the first time. I want to feel you take this gown off me and kiss me ‘til I’m breathless with need.” Naruto purred as he ran his hands down my back.


“Oh gods... I love you.” I say before I take his lips in another kiss. “I think we need to leave our reception before I take you here on the dance floor.”


With that, Naruto is all but dragging me away from the dance floor.


“Hey, where are you two going?” I hear Iruka sensei call out as he walks towards us.


“Iruka, it’s time for us to leave! Let us be a couple as couples should be. The bed is cold and lonely waiting for our arrival.” Naruto say's with a big smile on his face.


“Naruto!”


“What?” he says, turning to me with his innocent look that I fall for almost every time.


"Go on Naruto, take your husband and have your wicked way with him. I’ll make sure everything gets cleaned up."


"Thank you, Iruka.” Naruto said before quickly taking my hand again and taking us towards our bedroom.

(an) yes I know that women’s and men’s ‘wedding clothing’ are very similar it’s the fact that it was his mother’s and that it was a woman’s that they put such a fuss about it. (an)
