Chapter Nineteen
16th September – Wedding Day
Naruto glared at the freaky red-head for a few moments before his brain processed his words.
"Wait, what?" he asked, completely confused. He shot a glance at Sasuke and Sakura, both of whom looked like they wanted the floor to swallow them up. The poor priest looked pole-axed; Naruto doubted that he had ever had two separate people objecting to a wedding before.
"Sakura can't go through with this wedding because she's with me," the red-head said, grasping Sakura by the arm and pulling her away from Sasuke. Not to be outdone, Naruto grabbed Sasuke with a snarl.
"Well, Sasuke can't go through with the wedding either, because he's with me," he said. He heard Sasuke groan, but ignored him for the moment; it was all for his own good.
"This is, um, most unprecedented," the priest said.
Naruto was vaguely aware of his mother doing her I-told-you-so dance in the aisle; his Dad and Sasuke's mum were trying to make her sit down. He ignored them, his eyes fixed on Sakura, who looked like she wished the floor would swallow her, and the red-head, who was still scowling fiercely at Sasuke. The problem was, he hadn't really thought much beyond the whole objecting part. He had assumed that everything would just sort itself out after. Obviously not. Apart from Kushina and the priest's spluttering, the church was silent; expectant, waiting. Naruto risked a quick glance at Fugaku. He didn't look particularly happy; he kind of looked like he had been drinking vinegar, but he was making no move to get the wedding back on track. Naruto decided that this was a good thing. He turned to Sasuke.
"Say something," he hissed.
Sasuke turned his dark eyes to Naruto in full glare mode. "Why didn't you just keep quiet," he hissed back, "Gaara could have taken all the blame for wrecking the wedding."
Naruto rolled his eyes. "Whatever." Obviously he would have to do everything. Sakura looked mortified, and the red-head, Gaara, was still glaring at everyone.
He turned to face the crowded church. Several camera's flashed at the back, and he knew this would be all over the tabloids the next day. However, as much as Sasuke may have cared about that, Naruto didn't. At least this way everyone would know that Sasuke was his.
"OK," he said, "So since Sasuke's gay and with me, and apparently Sakura's with that guy, I think it's fair to say that this wedding is over." He grinned at the horrified expressions some of the older guests were shooting his way.
"Naruto, shut up," Sasuke hissed at him. "Sakura, I think we need to talk."
She raised her head, and nodded. The priest pushed past Naruto to face the congregation. "Um, there seem to be a few technical difficulties, so if you would all just wait a minute-"
"Fuck that," Naruto snarled, "this isn't a case of storm damage to a television mast; this wedding is a farce!"
There were a few gasps at his language; it was probably blasphemous or something to swear in church. Sasuke grabbed his wrist and dragged him after Sakura and Gaara before he had a chance to apologise. The priest led them into a tiny back room beyond the altar, guiding them in and shutting the door behind them. Naruto heard the jarring sound of several different hymns begin as the band decided to improvise. They had all settled on something dirgey by the end of the first few bars.
Naruto glanced around the small room. It appeared to be an office / storage room. A small paper filled desk stood to one side, and there were several stacks of chairs against the opposite wall. Above the desk was a picture of an angel, or possibly a saint. Sakura perched on the desk, Gaara beside her. Naruto fetched down two chairs; one for him, one for Sasuke. They both sat down. Then the four of them waited in awkward silence for someone to say something.
After about a minute of this, Naruto cracked. "OK, what the hell just happened!" He exclaimed, leaping to his feet. He pointed at Sakura. "I thought you were madly in love with Sasuke; who the hell is that?" He moved his finger and pointed at Gaara.
Sakura had been looking down at her feet up until that point. Now she raised her head, green eyes flashing. "If you thought I was so in love with Sasuke, why have you been sleeping with him? Why didn't you tell me the truth?"
"Because Sasuke wouldn't let me," Naruto snapped, ignoring the twinge of guilt her words produced.
Sakura's eyes shifted to Sasuke. "Why didn't you answer any of my calls or texts?" She asked.
Sasuke flushed. "How long?" he asked, his eyes flicking to Gaara.
Sakura's eyes narrowed; "I could ask you the same thing," She replied.
"For Gods sake will someone just answer a question!" Naruto snapped. The angel in the picture seemed to scowl at him in disapproval. "Sorry," he murmured.
"OK," Sasuke said, taking a deep breath. "I've been gay for as long as I can remember, and I've been sleeping with guys all the time we were together. I tried to stop, but I just couldn't. And I've been in love with Naruto as long as I can remember. Again, I just couldn't stop. Sorry. I should have told you."
Sakura sighed. "I sort of guessed," she said.
Both Sasuke and Naruto stared at her, surprised. "Why didn't you say anything?" Sasuke asked.
Sakura's eyes flicked to Gaara, who had been listening silently the whole time. "Because of my parents," she said. "I've been with Gaara a long time; since we were in school together, but my parents didn't approve. So they set up the engagement with Sasuke. They said that it would bring honour to the family name; what I wanted didn't matter. And because I wanted them to be happy, I went along with it. I tried to give up Gaara, but I...I just couldn't." Her lips twitched in a small, wry smile at the echo of Sasuke's words.
"About the same time, I realised that there was something off about Sasuke; I liked him as a friend, and I could tell he felt the same about me, but it never went deeper than that. My parents said that it would be a stronger basis for a marriage than love. But I saw the way you looked at Naruto, and it made me wonder if you were hiding something too. So I decided to try and get you to tell me; I couldn't confront you with it; what if I was wrong? Plus, and I know how wrong this sounds, but I thought that if I pushed you enough, you would realise that you didn't love me at all, and couldn't marry me. If you cancelled the wedding, there would be nothing that my parents could do, and I would be free to be with Gaara."
Naruto couldn't help himself; he let out a snort of laughter at the sheer irony of what Sakura was saying. "You wouldn't believe the amount of angst Sasuke went through thinking how much he would hurt you if he cancelled the wedding," he said between snickers. He felt the heat of Sasuke's glare on him, but ignored it. He needed to hold onto the humour of the situation, and not dwell on the fact that if Sasuke and Sakura weren't so caught up in pleasing their damn parents they wouldn't be in this mess now.
"But you tried to seduce me," Sasuke said.
"What!" Gaara snapped.
Sakura rolled her eyes. "You hadn't shown the slightest interest in me as a woman. I figured if you were gay then me coming onto you would scare you off. I admit I was a little drunk when I came up with the plan, and it didn't work. You told me you loved me the next day."
"What!" Naruto snapped turning to glare at Sasuke.
"I lied," Sasuke said. "Sorry."
Naruto wondered if the apology was meant for him or Sakura. He tried to swallow his anger; back then, Sasuke had still been planning on going through with the wedding. Stupid Sasuke and his stupid, stupid pride; thank goodness that Gaara seemed to have sense enough to gatecrash the wedding. If they had left things up to Sasuke and Sakura, the four of them would spend their lives miserable and lying to each other.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth?" Sakura asked.
Sasuke sighed. "Because I really thought you loved me, and I didn't want to disappoint my father. I wanted to find a way out that wouldn't hurt anyone."
"Who knew that honesty and communication would be the key," Naruto muttered wryly.
"So; what do we do now?" Sakura asked after another awkward silence.
"I don't think I can marry you," Sasuke replied.
"Like I'd let you," Naruto snorted. "We go out there and officially cancel the wedding." He glanced at Sasuke. "If you're dad was going to try to force you to go through with it, he would have appeared by now. I guess he's going to let us get away with it."
"Or he's biding his time, plotting his revenge," Sasuke muttered.
Sakura slipped off of the desk. "It seems such a shame," she said, "after all the effort that went into it."
Gaara shot her an alarmed look. "Don't tell me you still want to go through with it," he said.
"No. Of course not. I just put so much effort into it, and it's all going to go to waste."
"We could still have the party," Naruto offered. "Might be a bit awkward, but once the alcohol starts flowing everything should be fine." Now that he knew Sakura wasn't in love with Sasuke, he found himself warming to her. Though she was right; after all the drama, the wedding guests were sitting there waiting for a happy ending that they weren't going to get. Or rather, the happy ending wasn't one any of them bar a few expected. Then he had the idea. It was so obvious and audacious that it took his breath away. He shot a sly glance at Sasuke, wondering if he would go for it, wondering if he dared to even mention it.
Reticence had never been a part of Naruto's character. He grinned, and caught Sasuke's wrist, stopping him from opening the door.
"We could do it," he said.
Sasuke turned to him with a puzzled frown. "Do what?" He asked.
Naruto grinned at him. "Get married," he said. "We have the guests, and the church. We even have the rings."
Sasuke's eyes widened. "But-but that..." He stammered.
Sakura grinned. "I think Naruto just proposed to you," she said. "I can't believe you're going straight from one engagement to another."
"We can't," Sasuke said.
"Why not?" Naruto demanded. It was nice, if sort of odd to have Sakura on his side.
"Because it wouldn't be legal; the church in this country doesn't recognise gay marriage, and even if it did, we can't just get married because there's a free church, priest and congregation, it doesn't work like that."
"And? It's not about legality, it's about love. It's the words that matter, not whether or not they're legally binding. We can do it properly later. Right now, I just want to make sure the whole world knows you're mine."
Sasuke flushed, but a smile twitched at the corner of his mouth. Sakura made the noise that girls make when they find something totally adorable. It was so opposite to the reaction that Sasuke had built up that Naruto laughed again. Best of all, if they stood up and said the wedding vows, even without it being a lawfully recognised wedding, there would be nothing that Fugaku could do.
"Just say yes, Sasuke," Naruto murmured.
Sasuke bit his lip, and closed his eyes. When they opened they were clear of shadows and Naruto grinned, knowing what Sasuke's answer would be.

The priest looked like he was going to have a heart attack when they told him. The band had obviously become desperate, and were going through their repertoire of Christmas songs, badly. The crowd were growing restive, apart from Kushina who was singing along, and Fugaku Uchiha, sat in the front row with his arms folded and a scowl so fierce it could probably win a fight with a mountain gorilla.
"You know this won't be legal,"the priest said.
"We know," Sasuke snapped.
"And the church doesn't recognise your, uh..."
"We know," Sasuke repeated. The scowl he fixed on the priest rivalled that of his father. "Are you going to do it or not?"
"Against my better judgement," He said with a resigned sigh.
Naruto wondered how much they were paying him. Then he found it didn't matter at all, as he realised that they were really doing this. He swallowed a sudden lump that formed in his throat; the bow-tie seemed to have become tighter, and was in danger of choking him. He glanced over at Sasuke, who looked a bit wide eyed, like he was wondering what the hell they were doing.
Naruto almost swallowed his tongue in shock as Sakura hugged him and whispered a good luck in his ear. Why hadn't he told her about him and Sasuke? The next time Sasuke wanted him to keep an insane secret, he was going to ignore him.
"Hey, you said you had rings," Sakura said. "Can I have them? I can keep a hold of them until the exchange, like a best man."
Naruto numbly unhooked the chain around his neck, watching as Sasuke did the same thing. Sakura looked at the slender bands with a soft smile. "They are so much nicer than the ones I picked," she said. "When you didn't say anything about them I began to worry that you really were straight. I expected a gay man to have a better sense of taste."
"I thought you liked them," Sasuke said.
"Please!" Sakura snorted, "they were hideous." She wrapped Sasuke in a quick hug, too. He stiffened in her arms for a moment, before awkwardly patting her on the back. Then Sakura stood to one side, and they were ready.
Naruto caught Sasuke's hands in his, and looked into his eyes. "I love you," he murmured, "so much."
"I love you too," Sasuke replied, "always have, always will."
Naruto grinned, and the whole world fell away, until it was just him and Sasuke, fingers twined together standing in front of the altar. It wasn't about showing the world who Sasuke belonged to any more; it was about showing Sasuke how much Naruto loved him.
The priest cleared his throat, and the band stopped playing. A murmur ran through the guests as they realised who was standing up at the altar.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join this man and...this...man together in, um. To join them together," the priest began. Obviously he wasn't very good at improvisation. Naruto couldn't really blame him for missing out the bit about holy matrimony, but Sasuke scowled.
The rest of the ceremony passed in a bit of a blur; the priest did a good job of editing out any allusions to heterosexuality or god, which, considering it was a religious ceremony, was actually quite impressive and probably cut the length of the ceremony in half.
Naruto had to give his name, because obviously the priest hadn't needed to know the name of the best man, and then he was being asked questions. This bit he knew; just say "I do." The look in Sasuke's eyes every time he said those words melted his heart. Their love was palpable, so strong it echoed around the room, and he briefly wondered why anyone would want to deny them this moment. Then it was Sasuke's turn; love, honour. No obeying, though; he wasn't sure whether that was because they were both guys, or because feminists had got at the wedding vows.
Then there was a sudden, worrying silence, and a look of panic in Sasuke's eyes. Naruto turned to look at the priest for a prompt, and locked eyes with Sakura instead.
"Vows," she hissed.
Now he knew why Sasuke looked panicked.
"Just say what's in your heart," Sakura continued, "just tell him the truth." And she pressed Sasuke's ring into Naruto's palm. He looked down at the band, and remembered the word that was inscribed within. Sasuke hadn't seen it; the ring had been around Naruto's neck. Now seemed as good a time as any.
"Sasuke," he said, "I love you more than words could ever say, you are my everything. I promise that I will be with you, always. I don't believe in that whole till death do us part thing." He shot a quick glance at the priest, who looked offended. "Sorry." His eyes flicked back to Sasuke. "Death won't part us; nothing is going to part us. We'll be together forever, and for whatever comes after forever." He ran his finger across the word inscribed inside the band; Forever, before taking Sasuke's hand, and slipping it on.
It was worth it, Naruto decided, all the pain and frustration. He would go through all that a million times just to see the look that Sasuke had on his face in that moment. Sasuke didn't take his eyes from Naruto as he took the second ring from Sakura.
"Naruto," He said, his voice soft and full of emotion, "I love you, more than anything or anyone. You own me, heart body and soul forever and beyond. And I swear I will never be stupid enough to deny my love for you again."
He slipped the ring onto Naruto's finger. The weight of it felt so right. Naruto grinned at Sasuke, who smiled back at him. Their fingers remained tangled together as the priest continued.
"I now pronounce you man and...man. You may kiss the...you may kiss." The priest slumped, obviously wondering why he had agreed to continue the wedding. Naruto didn't care about him; all he cared about was Sasuke. He caught him around the waist, and pulled him into a deep kiss. He was aware of cheering, probably led by his mother, and the feeling of Sasuke's cheeks heating. But really, the feel of Sasuke's arms around him, his lips against his, took up just about his whole world.

Despite all of Sasuke's worries, Fugaku did nothing to stop them as they dashed down the aisle hand in hand, Sakura and the bridesmaids scattering confetti behind them. Naruto was aware of the smiling faces of their friends, and the slightly confused ones of Sasuke and Sakura's families. The crowd of journalists by the church door pressed in, determined to get the best shot or a statement or whatever. Naruto grinned for the cameras; Sasuke bared his teeth beside him. Neither of them answered the flurry of questions; Sasuke wouldn't on principle, and Naruto knew who was getting the exclusive interview. He saw Tenten towards the back of the crowd, and gave her a wave and a wink.
Karin and Suigetsu arrived to clear the crowd; Naruto saw Sakura say something to Ino, and she came forward, pushing at paparazzi as if they were nursery school children. Karin scowled at her; obviously there were still issues there.
"Thank goodness the party venue is next door," Naruto said.
"Yet we still have a horse drawn carriage to take us there," Sasuke said with a wry look at Sakura.
She shrugged. "You didn't veto it. In some ways, Sasuke, you were the perfect fiancé. You let me have everything I asked for."
"I was stupid," Sasuke growled. He squeezed Naruto's hand, and dragged him through the church door into the sunlight. "Make sure none of the journalists get into the reception," he snapped at Karin.
"Let Tenten in," Naruto added. Sasuke gave him a surprised look, but didn't say anything.
Once they got into Cobalt Hall, instead of heading towards the large room set up ready for the party, Sasuke dragged Naruto up the stairs and into the room they had used to get dressed in. Naruto wasn't surprised. He sat on the bed, tugged off the annoyingly constricting bow-tie, and waited.
Sasuke paced for a bit, before turning to him with a panicked expression. "What the hell did we just do?" He demanded.
"I'm pretty sure we just got fake married in front of all your family, friends and businesses associates," Naruto replied.
"Oh God!" Sasuke groaned, sinking onto the bed next to Naruto and burying his head in his hands.
"I think it went quite well," Naruto said.
"I can't believe my father let us," Sasuke said. "Why didn't he stop us?"
"Well, you were wrong about Sakura. Maybe you were wrong about him, too."
Sasuke raised his head and looked at Naruto. "Maybe," he said doubtfully. He glanced down at the ring on his finger, and his lips split in a smile. "I am glad, though," he said. He took Naruto's hand in his, his dark eyes fixed on the matching bands on their fingers. "I'm glad you never gave up on me, and I'm so sorry for all I put you through; I -"
Naruto stopped him with a kiss. "No more apologies about it," He murmured against Sasuke's mouth. He felt Sasuke's lips twist under his in a smile.
"I suppose we should go down to the party," Sasuke said, his hands resting on Naruto's hips, stroking down his thighs.
"Yeah, we've essentially just thrown the most ostentatious engagement party ever. I think we should be there."
Sasuke let out a snort of laughter at that. "I suppose I should talk to my father before he implodes," he said. The humour vanished from his eyes.
Naruto kissed him again, a brief peck. "We'll talk to him," he said. "Together." He had just stood up in front of hundreds of people to proclaim his love for Sasuke; he felt he could handle Fugaku Uchiha, no matter how pissed off he was.
Naruto stood up, dragging Sasuke up with him. "Besides," he murmured, "I want to save myself for our wedding night."
Sasuke snorted. "What, you're the blushing virgin now?"
"Well, technically," Naruto said.
Sasuke gaped at him for a moment. "Holy fuck," he said reverently. He looked to be on the verge of suggesting they just stayed in the room, and Naruto was tempted, but if they didn't appear downstairs people would likely come to get them. People like his mother or Sakura or Itachi, who had no respect for locked doors. What he wanted to share with Sasuke was just for them, not a bunch of gaping perverts.
"Later," he said with a smile, "I promise you."

They were bombarded the instant they crossed the threshold into the hall. Dozens of people, most of them Naruto didn't even recognise had come to congratulate them. He noticed Sasuke's eyes going glassy as yet another hand grabbed his and pumped vigorously. Someone slapped him on the back. Even though he had been saying to Sasuke for months that coming out wasn't going to change anything, he was still a little surprised at how accepting everyone was. He wondered if his mother had something to do with it. Looking around the room it appeared around a third of the guests hadn't remained for the party; possibly they were the ones with the problem.
The next person to grab him was Sakura, still in her wedding dress. She hugged him tightly, whispering in his ear; "I've asked for your stuff to be moved to the honeymoon suite. I've arranged to stay with Gaara tonight."
Naruto hugged her back. "Thank you," he said. She beamed at him before grabbing Sasuke.
Naruto turned, and found himself face to face with Fugaku Uchiha. Naruto swallowed, suddenly very glad that Sasuke took after his mother; he didn't want to wake up next to that scowl in thirty years time.
"Uhh, hi," he said.
Sasuke appeared beside him, linking their arms and glaring with forced bravado at his father. Naruto was incredibly proud of him for that. The crowd around them sublimated away, obviously sensing the chilly emissions from the elder Uchiha.
"I need to speak to my son," Fugaku said.
"Naruto comes too," Sasuke replied, the hand on Naruto's arm squeezing in a death grip.
Fugaku sighed. "Fine," he said, leading them into a quiet corner. There was no time for an awkward silence to form; Fugaku launched straight into his attack. "Why didn't you inform me of your intentions before carrying out that little stunt?" He demanded.
"Sasuke was going to; you've been away in Germany-"
Fugaku stopped him with a raised palm. "Not speaking to you yet," he said.
"I tried," Sasuke said as Naruto gaped wide eyed at the dismissal. "I wanted to cancel the wedding, but I needed to talk to you first."
"For the love of God Sasuke, why? It was your wedding. I thought I had raised you to be able to make important decisions without me. You've succeeded in making us all look very foolish."
"Why?" Naruto exclaimed. "Because he loves me?"
Fugaku shot him a warning scowl. "No. Because the issue should have been handled with decorum. Instead we will be the centre of a media circus. I have my press people on damage control, but there were too many freelance journalists there. I dread to think of the headlines in the morning."
Sasuke hung his head, the fight blown out of him. "Sorry," he murmured.
Naruto was still raging. "So what?" He snarled. "At least this way everybody knows."
"And it makes you happy to be the focus of the tabloids?" Fugaku snapped. "They'll treat you like a freak show."
"Hey!"
"That's not my opinion; it's just what they do with anything different." Fugaku's lip curled, and he turned back to Sasuke, leaving Naruto feeling snubbed.
"Why didn't you tell me you were unhappy, Sasuke?" Fugaku asked. "I knew about your preferences, but I thought that you wanted to hide it, that you thought you could come to be happy with Sakura."
"I didn't want to disappoint you," Sasuke said.
To Naruto's shock Fugaku took his son in his arms. He would never have believed it if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.
"Sasuke, you're my son. I just want you to be happy."
Naruto wondered if they had fallen into some weird alternate dimension. Clearly Sasuke didn't know his father as well as he thought he had. Naruto shook his head wryly. If only Sasuke had had the courage to confess to Sakura and his father weeks ago, they would have skipped all the angst.
Fugaku's eyes turned to rest on Naruto, and the coldness in them froze him to the bone. Obviously Fugaku's fatherly love didn't extend to his son's boyfriend.
"If you do the slightest thing to hurt my son or tarnish his reputation, I'll make you wish you had never been born," he said. "And I still expect Sasuke to produce an heir."
He gave one last smile to Sasuke, and shot a glare at Naruto, before wandering over to the bar.
"Was that one of those killing looks?" Naruto said. "Am I going to die?"
Sasuke's eyes were on his father's retreating form. "I can't believe he approves," he said.
"Barely. He still hates me."
Sasuke shrugged. "I can live with that."
"Thanks," Naruto said sourly.
The grin that Sasuke turned on him was so bright that it instantly elevated his mood. "We've really done it, Naruto." He said. "Father's not going to stop us being together; Sakura's happy."
"Yeah, exactly as planned," Naruto said returning the grin.

The party really kicked off once all the congratulations were out of the way. Most of the businesses associates and the older members of both families left quite early, but plenty of guests still remained. Kushina started a game of truth or dare that got quickly out of hand after Kiba streaked around the room, and there was a scare when one of Sakura's relatives, an elderly woman named Chiyo, pretended to be dead after too much gin. An ambulance had been called before Sakura appeared to explain that she did it all the time.
Kiba was inconsolable after the blond bridesmaid, who turned out to be Gaara's sister dragged Shikamaru off one way, and the red haired one dragged Konohamaru another. It wasn't his friends achieving his ambition of sleeping with the bridesmaid that really had Kiba down, though. As he later told Naruto after pointing out Ino and Tenten in a very involved make out session; they hadn't let him join in.
Naruto left him staring into his pint, and went to find Sasuke. It was late, and everyone was at least a little bit tipsy, if not fully drunk. He had waved off his parents an hour earlier; Minato had needed to drag Kushina into the car.
He found Sasuke sitting with Sakura and Hinata; they were all giggling about something, although Naruto knew that if he pointed out how adorable Sasuke was being he would get a punch in the face. He settled for just sitting down beside him and placing a small kiss on his cheek.
"Aww, so adorable," Sakura cooed. Any doubts that Naruto may have had about her faking acceptance had faded over the course of the evening. He couldn't remember the last time he had seen her like this, and he wondered how long he had just accepted her fake happiness as the real thing. Naruto shook off the lingering guilt; both Sakura and Sasuke were to blame for not being honest with each other, but that was over now. Sakura had Gaara, and he had Sasuke.
"How are your parents?" Naruto asked Sakura. She had had her own version of the talk he and Sasuke had with Fugaku. But while Fugaku had stayed for a few drinks before leaving, thankfully prior to the game of truth or dare, Sakura's parents had left straight away.
Sakura grimaced. "They're not impressed." She said. "They feel humiliated by all of us. I'm going to stay with Gaara, and give them a bit of time to cool down."
Hinata placed an understanding hand on her arm. "They'll come around," she said.
"I hope so. They're very proud people. They really wanted this wedding to go ahead, to link themselves to the Uchiha name."
Naruto snorted. "Even Fugaku Uchiha understands that family joy is worth more than family pride," he said.
"Just as well," Sasuke said, "otherwise we'd be living in a cardboard box tomorrow."
Naruto rolled his eyes. Just like Sasuke to be over dramatic. "Yeah, because my parents would allow that," he said.
The party was winding down now. He glanced over at the dance-floor, where a few couples were slow-dancing. Shikamaru, Konohamaru and their respective bridesmaids, Sai with the dark haired man from the morning, who was apparently Gaara's brother. And most surprising of all, Karin and Suigetsu. Naruto supposed that there was just something about weddings that made everyone want to be coupley. His eyes wandered back to Sasuke. At some point in the evening he had lost the bow-tie and undone the first couple of buttons on his shirt. Naruto really wanted to lick the triangle of exposed skin, to nibble his way up Sasuke's neck until he reached his mouth.
He placed a hand on Sasuke's thigh, drawing circles with his fingers until Sasuke turned to him. Naruto noticed Sakura and Hinata sharing a knowing look, and grinned. "Sasuke," he murmured, "it's past my bedtime."
"And that's our cue to go find our men," Sakura said, standing up. She grabbed Hinata's arm and pulled her to her feet. "Sleep well," she said with a wicked grin, dragging Hinata away. Hinata gave them a cheery wave.
"You know, I really like her," Naruto said. "Why did you never tell me she was like this?"
"I didn't know," Sasuke replied.
Naruto rolled his eyes. "You're hopeless," he said. "How long have you been friends with her? You're really quite rubbish at reading people."
Sasuke scowled at him. "I thought you were sleepy?"
Naruto smiled. "I'm not sleepy," he said, "I just think it's time that we went to bed." Just to make his intentions crystal clear, he caught Sasuke by the back of his head, fingers tangling in his dark hair, and pulled him into a kiss. Sasuke got the message; his mouth opened under Naruto's, hot and eager, his tongue sliding past Naruto's lips. Naruto let out a low groan, anticipation sending tingles down his spine.
Sasuke pulled back far enough to look into Naruto's eyes. "I think you're right," he said, his dark eyes glittering.
Naruto stood up, taking Sasuke's hand in his. He loved feeling Sasuke's fingers sliding between his, the warmth of his palm pressing against his own. Sasuke stood up beside him and they left the room hand in hand. No one seemed to notice them go, or if they did, no one tried to stop them. Naruto wondered if he had Sakura to thank for that, or the amount of alcohol everyone had imbibed. Possibly a mixture of the two. Naruto himself had been drinking coke; he wanted to be able to remember this night with clarity. He thought that Sasuke probably felt the same way; he had had the same half full champagne flute by his elbow for the past few hours.
The walked up the stairs in silence, and then..."Umm, do you know where the room is?" Naruto asked Sasuke.
"I think it's the one at the end of the hall," Sasuke replied. "Sakura said that she moved our stuff into it, so we'll know if it's the right one."
"OK; but just open the door, don't go in. I want to carry you over the threshold."
"No," Sasuke said flatly, "there will be no carrying. Besides, shouldn't it be me carrying you, virgin boy?"
Naruto snorted. "In your dreams," he said.
If he was honest with himself, Naruto was a bit nervous; he wanted this, really wanted it, and logically he knew that just changing positions wasn't a big deal; lots of gay couples did it all the time. And he trusted Sasuke. But he was still nervous; as if he really was a virgin. It was ridiculous, but a feeling he couldn't shake. He squeezed Sasuke's hand, and headed towards the doors at the end of the hallway.
The room was the only one with double doors; if it wasn't the honeymoon suite then it was probably some sort of conference room. Which would be bizarre considering all the bedrooms surrounding it. Naruto forcibly stopped his sudden descent into mental babble, and pushed open the doors, before grabbing Sasuke around the waist and slinging him over his shoulder. He hoped it was the right room. No way was he going to catch Sasuke by surprise again.
Sasuke let out a yell, twisting against Naruto. Naruto ignored him, his eyes fixed on the room. He wondered if this came as standard, or if Sakura had something to do with it. The doors opened into an opulent sitting room, beyond that another pair of double doors stood open, leading to the bedroom. It was lit with literally hundreds of candles, flickering gently. There was a path of deep red rose petals leading towards the bed, and scattered over the cream sheets. Sasuke, apparently sensing Naruto's mood, stopped struggling. Naruto stepped into the room, leaning slightly to allow Sasuke to slide off his shoulder.
Sasuke's scowl slipped as he looked into Naruto's eyes. He turned and glanced around the room. "I think we're in the right place," he said.
Naruto nodded. He closed the doors behind them, clicking the lock into place. He took Sasuke's hand again and led them into the bedroom. He was slightly disappointed to see that the candles weren't real; they were tiny little lights, shaped to look like candles. The rose petals were real, though. Soft and satiny. He picked up a handful, letting them tumble through his fingers, careful not to bruise them.
Sasuke let out a snicker. Naruto turned to him; he was stood next to the bed, looking into the top drawer of the bedside cabinet. Naruto crawled over the bed to see what he was looking at. It was jammed full with a collection to rival a sex shop.
"What disturbs me about that," Naruto said, "are that the most likely culprits are either my mother, or your very recently ex-fiancée."
"Or Kiba," Sasuke said.
"Or Sai...we have strange friends."
Though Naruto did think that Sai was a likely suspect, he had mainly mentioned him for the possessive look Sasuke got in his eyes when he mentioned his name. For some reason jealousy on Sasuke was really hot; it was the way his eyes sparked, black flames dancing in their depths. Naruto grinned to himself, and lay down on the bed, spreading out and taking up as much room as he could. Sasuke abandoned the contents of the drawer, his eyes raking Naruto from head to toe. Naruto felt a shiver of anticipation go through him; he wanted Sasuke in every way possible. He wanted to drown himself in Sasuke; their bodies, hearts and souls connecting. The room seemed to crackle with tension as their eyes met, then Sasuke was on him, moving in a flash, lips connecting in a fierce kiss.
Naruto managed to get Sasuke out of his tuxedo jacket and unbutton his shirt before rolling them, shrugging off his own jacket in the process. He took a moment to look at Sasuke, flushed and half naked lying on a bed of rose petals. His breath caught at the sight; it was beautiful and erotic all at once. Naruto knew that there was no way he would last; he would need to get off at least once first, otherwise his first experience of bottoming would be painfully short. Judging by the look on Sasuke's face he was in a similar situation.
Naruto took off his shirt before leaning in to Sasuke. He kissed him, his tongue sliding deep into Sasuke's mouth, while his hands manoeuvred Sasuke out of his shirt. He broke the kiss to whisper in Sasuke's ear.
"I'm going to suck you until you come," he murmured, "then I want you to fuck me until the sun rises."
Sasuke groaned, and arched against Naruto, his erection pressing hard against Naruto's thigh. Naruto took one nipple into his mouth, nipping it with his teeth before sucking it hard. Sasuke groaned again, his hands tangling in Naruto's hair. Naruto nibbled his way down Sasuke's stomach, his hands unzipping his trousers and freeing his cock. He tugged Sasuke's trousers off before removing his own, leaving them both nice and naked. He licked the backs of Sasuke's knees, mainly because he knew he was ticklish there, before kissing his way up Sasuke's thigh.
He turned his head, and began placing light, teasing kisses around the head of Sasuke's cock, flicking his tongue in the slit and tasting the salt of pre-come. Sasuke was gasping and moaning under him in the most delicious way, his fingers still tangled in Naruto's hair. With a groan, Naruto took the full length into his mouth, relaxing his throat and letting it slide down until his nose was buried in Sasuke's groin. He wondered how it would feel to have that same length buried deep in his ass. He groaned at the thought, and Sasuke arched, trying to bury his dick deeper in Naruto's throat. Naruto pinned his hips with his hands, and began moving his head, backing off until just the tip was in his mouth before dipping down again, all the while sucking and licking. Sasuke's hands tightened in his hair, and with a deep moan he came, shooting deep into Naruto's throat.
Naruto made sure he had lapped up all of Sasuke's come before releasing his cock. He sat up and looked into Sasuke's eyes, grinning. Sasuke returned the smile, his features softened by the post orgasm buzz. Naruto's heart clenched; he didn't think that it was possible to love anyone as much as he loved Sasuke. He could spend hours just looking at him, days just kissing and touching him. A life time making love to him. Naruto leaned in and placed a soft kiss against Sasuke's lips.
"I love you," he murmured.
Sasuke let out a soft sigh of pleasure, his hand sliding down Naruto's chest until it rested on his still rock hard cock. Naruto groaned, frustrated at the gentle touch.
"I love you, Naruto. More than anything," Sasuke said, his eyes locking with Naruto's. Naruto could see eternity in the dark depths of his pupils, and the beauty of it took his breath away. Sasuke was his, forever, and he was Sasuke's.
Naruto kissed him again and again, the passion in him growing, consuming him. He could feel the same ardour in Sasuke; his own feelings reflected and magnified back to him. They were both breathless, and Naruto achingly hard when Sasuke broke the kiss.
He smiled up at Naruto, his expression angelically innocent. "I want you to fuck my mouth while I finger your ass," he said.
Naruto groaned at the thought; this angel was seriously corrupt in all the right ways. He moved off of Sasuke long enough to allow Sasuke to rummage in the drawer, and pull out a large tube of lube. The other stuff in there was going to be used at some point, Naruto thought, but not tonight. This night was for them; their bodies meeting with no artifice or distraction.
Sasuke settled back on the bed, half sitting and propping his back with pillows. Naruto straddled him, his cock in line with Sasuke's deliciously kiss swollen lips. Sasuke's tongue flicked out and caught a drop of pre-come that was forming on the tip. Naruto groaned at the lightness of the touch, and Sasuke grinned. He wrapped his hand around the base, and slowly guided Naruto's cock into the wet heat of his mouth. Naruto groaned again at the sensation of Sasuke's mouth around the sensitised flesh of his dick, at the sight of Sasuke, cheeks flushed, lips spread around his girth. Naruto cupped his cheeks and stared down into Sasuke's lust hazy eyes. He began moving slowly, thrusting in and out of Sasuke's mouth. Sasuke's eyes flickered shut, and Naruto felt his groan of pleasure vibrating along the length of his cock.
There was a clicking sound, then Naruto felt a slickness brush against his entrance. Sasuke's finger pressed gently against his hole, teasing at the flesh around it, before slipping the tip in. For a moment, Sasuke kept his finger still, so that each thrust of Naruto's hips had it sinking deeper inside. Naruto knew he wasn't going to last, not with the heat around his cock and the teasing of his ass. Not when he knew that it was preparation for something bigger, hotter, harder.
He stared down into Sasuke's eyes. "More," he moaned, "please Sasuke, I need more."
Sasuke knew what he meant. One finger became two, no longer teasing, sinking deep into him with an aching burn that combined pleasure and pain in a way that had Naruto's balls tightening. He grit his teeth, wanting to last a bit longer, then Sasuke twisted his fingers, pressing against his prostate. With a cry Naruto thrust deep into Sasuke's throat as he came, his whole body tingling with the sensation.
"Fuuuuuck," he groaned,rolling away from Sasuke and spreading limply on the bed beside him.
Sasuke poked his hip with a sharp finger. "We've barely begun," he said.
Naruto turned to him with a grin. "I'm pretty sure you're booked in for fucking me until the sun rises," he said.
Sasuke returned the smile. "That would be it," he said, cupping Naruto's cheek and pulling him into a kiss. Their tongues glided languidly against each other; Naruto could taste himself on Sasuke's tongue, could still taste Sasuke in his own moth, their essence combining together. Sasuke's hand slipped down his thigh and Naruto spread his legs, eager for his lover's touch.
Sasuke started with one finger again, slowly thrusting in and out of Naruto's ass. They continued to kiss while he did this, all urgency gone, just revelling in the feeling. After a few minutes of this, the slow burn of arousal beginning to ignite once again in Naruto's gut, Sasuke slipped a second finger into him. The slight ache quickly faded as they continued to kiss; the hand not occupied with Naruto's ass was gently stroking through his hair. Naruto had one hand cupped against Sasuke's cheek, the other placed on his hip, tender touches against heated flesh.
Sasuke began occasionally scissoring his fingers, skilfully knowing how much pressure to use. Sometimes he would brush against Naruto's prostate, the wave of pleasure it caused making Naruto's hand tighten on his hip. By the time he slipped a third finger in, Naruto was arching into his thrusts and groaning into his mouth, and Sasuke's cock was hard against Naruto's thigh.
"Sasuke, I'm ready," Naruto gasped between kisses.
Sasuke's response was a deep, low groan. He caught Naruto's bottom lip between his teeth, and rubbed his fingers against Naruto's prostate, before slowly pulling them out of his ass. The very sudden feeling of emptiness after being so full was strange. Naruto found himself aching for the feel of Sasuke's cock, all nerves evaporated by sheer need.
Sasuke pulled away from him, grabbing some pillows. The bed had an obscene amount of them. Naruto raised his hips, allowing Sasuke to settle the pillows under them. No words were spoken; they weren't needed.
Naruto watched as Sasuke slathered his cock with lube. He had never really paid any attention to how thick it was before, and it was certainly longer than Sasuke's fingers. Anticipation twisted with a strange sense of vulnerability inside him. His own cock was hard now, and leaking pre-come.
Sasuke settled himself over Naruto, propping himself up with his hands, kneeling between Naruto's spread thighs. For a long moment they just looked at each other, not a single part of their bodies touching. Naruto could hear his heart pounding loudly in his ears, and fancied that he could hear an echo, Sasuke's heart pounding in perfect rhythm with his own.
Naruto's breath caught as he felt the blunt head of Sasuke's cock against his ass. Definitely bigger than his fingers. He forced himself to relax, his eyes meeting Sasuke's and locking with them as Sasuke slowly and carefully began to sink into him. He saw Sasuke's eyes widening, and remembered that this was a first for him too; the first time he had felt the bliss of the tight, constricting heat of another person grasp his cock. Naruto certainly had never felt anything like it, and fingers were suddenly really not ample preparation. Not for the hardness, or the length, or the feeling of being totally and utterly filled by another person. It hurt, stretching him further than he had ever been stretched before. At the same time, it felt so good, all of his nerve endings tingling, zapping signals to his dick and his balls.
After what seemed like an eternity, Naruto felt the light tap of Sasuke's balls against his ass. He wrapped his arms around Sasuke's trembling body, pressing their chests together. Sasuke's lips placed fervent kisses against his neck and cheeks, until their lips met. All the while, Naruto was very, very aware of the heat inside him, filling him, completing him. It felt so good just being joined in this way with Sasuke. He couldn't imagine how much better it was going to get when Sasuke moved.
"Oh god, Naruto," Sasuke moaned, "I love you, I love you, I love you."
"I love you, too. Sasuke, I need you to move."
Sasuke raised his head, and looked down into Naruto's eyes. "Once I start, there's no way I'm going to be in control," he said.
"I know," Naruto replied. He raised one leg and wrapped it around Sasuke's hips. It shifted the position of his cock, driving it deeper into Naruto. Naruto arched his back with a groan, desperate for more, more, more.
Sasuke began moving very slowly and carefully, despite what he had said about loosing control. Naruto wrapped his arms and his other leg around him, clinging on and giving into the sensation as Sasuke's cock moved inside him. The angle had Sasuke's cock brushing against his prostate with every thrust, and their bodies pressed tightly together added friction to his aching cock.
Their kisses, soft and tender at first became sloppy as Sasuke began to move faster, deeper, harder, and Naruto felt his whole world crumble with the strange pleasure. They were both gasping and moaning, fingers gripping tight to each other, nails digging into flesh. Naruto arched his back to meet each of Sasuke's thrusts, dragging him in deeper. He could feel the pleasure escalating, tingling through his dick and balls, up his spine, behind his eyes in his toes. He didn't want it to stop, but at the same time he longed for the orgasm that was building inside him, the flames that were going to engulf him. He stared up into Sasuke's eyes, seeing his pleasure reflected; his love reflected. For an instant they were completely as one, bodies moving in tandem, hearts pounding together, breathing synchronised. Naruto could see it in Sasuke's eyes, even as he felt the cock inside him twitch; his own orgasm washed over him, searing him with pleasure as he felt Sasuke release deep inside his ass.
Sasuke collapsed limply on top of him, damp with sweat and breathing heavily. Naruto kept his arms around him, but lowered his legs, gasping as the feel of Sasuke's cock sliding out of him. For a moment they lay there, limp and breathless. Eventually, Naruto rolled them over; Sasuke's dead-weight was beginning to effect his breathing.
They lay, side by side, pressed close together, legs tangled. Naruto caught a lock of Sasuke's sweat-damp hair and twisted it around his finger. They should really shower; they were slick with sweat and sticky with come, but he couldn't bring himself to move even an inch away from Sasuke.
"That was...different," Sasuke said eventually with a small twitch of his lips.
Naruto grinned. "Good different?" He asked.
"Amazing different," Sasuke replied. "We will definitely have to do that again."
Naruto's grin widened. "I totally agree," he said, placing a light kiss on the tip of Sasuke's nose. "Do you prefer it?" He asked, genuinely curious.
Sasuke frowned in thought. "I don't know," he replied. "I've always loved being fucked; I don't think I could just top all the time. But now I've done it, I wouldn't want to never do it again. I never realised how different it would feel. How about you? Are we going to have to start flipping a coin to see who does who?"
Naruto smirked. "Maybe," he said. "Personally, I would love to be able to fuck you while you fucked me."
Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Well, since you have no way of doubling yourself, I can't see that happening. It's a shame. I wouldn't mind being the filling in a Naruto sandwich."
"Pervert," Naruto said, though the mental image was intriguing. "What if we dressed someone up as me-"
"No," Sasuke said. "I'm not touching someone who isn't you ever again. This is it for me, Naruto. You are my life."
"Yeah, I don't think I would like the idea of someone else touching you," Naruto said. "And you should realise by now that you've ruined me for anyone else. It has to be you, Sasuke. I love you more than anything, and I always will."
Naruto leaned in, and pressed his lips against Sasuke's, feeling his lover melt against him. Sasuke was all he had ever wanted, and now he had him, finally, completely had him, he was never letting him go again.
"Shit," Sasuke cursed.
Naruto pulled away to regard him with a puzzled frown. "What?"
"I just remembered that we promised your mother we'd go furniture shopping for her tomorrow."
Naruto snickered at the sudden pained look on Sasuke's face. Sasuke scowled at him and threw a handful of very limp rose petals at him.
"I had wanted to spend the day in bed. Maybe order some room service, go through the drawer and try out the contents," Sasuke said.
Naruto caught his hand, pressing their ring fingers together, the matching bands catching the fake candle light. "Sasuke, we have forever to do all that stuff," he said.
A slow smile spread on Sasuke's face. He rested his head against Naruto's chest, and let out a contented sigh. "We really do," he said.
Naruto ran his fingers through Sasuke's hair, contentment running through him. The rest of their lives. It was strange, after everything that had happened, all their long years of friendship and their months of being secret lovers, that they were only now starting out. It was the beginning of their lives together, the start of their forever.
Naruto closed his eyes as Sasuke's breathing slowed into sleep. Even with the furniture shopping, he was eager to see what tomorrow would bring. And he would do it with Sasuke at his side. A small smile flicked the corner of Naruto's mouth with this thought, and sleep claimed him.
