____________________________________________________________________
When Hinata was a little girl of five she dreamed of a big white wedding; all of her friends would be there; her best friend Sakura would help her get ready, her father would lead her to the altar, where the man she loved more than her own life would be waiting for her.
At the age of 17 None of this would happen.
Hinata had barely slept, had awaken from nightmares a few times this night. And now she was sitting in the bathtub, getting prepared for her, supposed to be, happiest day of her life. But she didn't felt like that; absolutely not. Her body was trembling, her nerves were at the edge of insanity. Well... at least it felt like it.
Today Hinata Hyuga would get married to Sabaku no Gaara. These were her last hours as an Hyuga. And while maids scrubbed her back until it almost hurt, tears fell down her face, thinking she would lose a part of herself the moment the last name, she wore for the past 17 years with proud, would be ripped away from her.
Temari came into Hinata's bathroom and sighed as she closed the door behind her.
Turning to the Hyuga she gave her a tired smile before she kneeled in front of the bathtub.
"I got you something" Temari whispered as she put Hinata's hair in her hands and started to distribute soap into it. Hinata's head rose to meet the blond's eyes.
"Hm?"
"It's not here, Kankuro and I prepared it in your room next to the ballroom. You will have to wait a few minutes, alright?" Hinata just nodded tiredly.
The next 30 minutes Hinata got prepared for her big day. They did a nice braided updo, a few lose, curled strands framing her pale face. Today it seemed even more pale than normal. The maids put light make-up on, got her silver jewelry (big dangling earrings and a tiny necklace with the Suna symbol), made her nails look nice until she at least looked like a beautiful, bright-shining bride. As she watched herself in the mirror she didn't feel like she was herself. But for some reason that was something she liked and needed right now.
"Lady Hinata?" one of the maids bowed next to her. Hinata turned to her with a gentle smile.
"We need to go now." The raven haired woman nodded and slowly followed the four maids and Temari to the next room.
It wasn't a long walk since her bedroom was not far from the ballroom where she would get married in, and where they would also celebrate this special occasion.
Suna's weddings would always be around sunset. This way they could avoid the heat but also the cool air at nighttime. When Hinata stepped into the room, where she would get dressed in, it was afternoon. The whole morning people had been around her, feeding her, washing, treating her. And as she had been put into the bathtub she had thought about Gaara. Where was he right now? Would he also get prepared? Would he even attend their wedding? Hinata would get humiliated if he wouldn't. She knew that, Gaara knew that. He would destroy her worth, her pride, her families Name.
While her maids put her into her white wedding Kimono she stood there frozen in front of the huge mirror they had prepared. In one hour she would be standing in front of the altar... Hinata wasn't sure what she was supposed to feel now. She had felt a connection between herself and Gaara. She had felt kind of... protected in Gaara's presence although he had acted like an animal at first. She couldn't deny the feeling that had stayed in her heart after their night together. It wasn't love. Not yet. But it was more than just affection and empathy. It was a deep understanding of eachother without sharing unnecessary words. One glance had been enough for both of them to understand. But why had he acted the way he did last night?
Seeing herself in the mirror with that beautiful dress on she had to admit she felt lighter. Breathing was easier.
"Hinata?" Kankuro ripped her out off her thoughts and when he took a sight of her, he blushed heavily.
"Wow..." he aspirated and closed the door behind him. He took some steps towards her and bowed.
"Kankuro... don't bow. You're my friend" Hinata smiled at him and with a small nod from her the maids bowed and left the room. Hinata got closer to Kankuro ,taking one of his hands into hers.
"Without you, I would be lost, Kankuro. Thank you..." she stared at her feet, burning tears in her eyes.
Hinata heard him sigh heavily. Shortly after his hands raised her head and lied on her cheeks, stroking them gently. And with one smooth movement he put his lips onto hers. Hinata's eyes widened in shock and surprise. His big, soft hands trailing down from her face to her back, protecting her body, his full lips gently touching hers. She felt herself blush.
After some time he pulled away slowly and smiled at her sadly. Hinata was speechless.
"Just once. I had to do it, just once." he whispered, still holding her near.
Hinata's confused expression made him laugh silently.
"Don't worry, I will be alright. As long as you let me protect you, I'm happy" the raven haired woman just nodded mechanically and Kankuro continued smiling. What exactly had happened? She had never known about Kankuro's feelings for her.... and she felt guilty that she hadn't noticed. Maybe they should talk about that...
"Well, then it's time for Temari's and my wedding present for you" he withdrew out off their hug, went to the door and opened it.
Hinata's eyes got even bigger.
"H-Hanabi? Neji?" a tear fell down her face at the sight of her beloved sister and cousin. Hanabi came rushing into the room and hugged her big sister tightly.
"You're so beautiful, Hina" Hanabi sobbed at her sisters chest. Neji also got closer with a gentle smile on his face. He didn't care that Hiashi would be raging that a member of the branch family would not obey his demand.
"Lady Hinata" he bowed before Hinata pulled him into her arms as well.
A few, beautiful minutes passed before they pulled back. Hinata felt so light and warm now. She would never be alone. She knew that now.
"I missed you so much. How did you get here? What will Father say?" Hinata sobbed happily, looking at her sister and cousin.
"Father doesn't know. The blond idiot sneaked us out and brought us here with the loud girl and the emo boy" Hanabi told her sister with a big smile on her face.
Hinata knitted her eyebrows.
"The blond idiot?" she repeated her sisters words slowly.
Neji gently grabbed her arm and squeezed it lightly.
"Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke brought us here, Lady Hinata" the handsome Hyuga explained with a small smile on his lips.
"They will also attend your big day."
Now she couldn't held back the tears anymore. They were all here. Her friends and her family. They came here just to be there for her. She laughed crying and pulled Neji again into a hug.
"Hina, you're going to ruin your make-up if you won't stop crying" Neji laughed silently and pulled away. Hinata nodded and sniffed. Now she felt ready. Now she felt complete. Now.. she wasn't scared anymore. She swiped the tears away carefully and looked into the mirror. Everything was still fine, the only difference now was that her eyes were more lively than before.
Hinata enjoyed the time she had with her family before the wedding ceremony. She almost forgot about it. It felt so nice and warm to talk to them, to see them.
"Lady Hinata?" one of the maids stuck her head into the room.
"It's time"
Neji lead Hinata to the altar, through the huge ballroom, until they reached the small corner where they had prepared three rows of white chairs on both sides, left and right. Although her heart was racing and she was still scared to see Gaara, she smiled when she noticed the blond, pink and black haired persons who smiled at her gently as she made her way to the altar. Bouquets of dark red roses were attached to the chairs.
The altar was plain white and next to it, Hinata saw him. He looked pale, his forehead was covered in bruises from his father's punishment. She remembered her dream from last night and shivered. But looking at him her fear vanished. Something inside told her he wouldn't harm her. Hinata didn't know why she was so sure about that. Last night he had looked at her with such hatred... but now... His eyes were fixed on her with no noticable emotion in them. If he would really want to hurt her, he could have already done it. If he really hated her, the same hatred would show in his eyes now. But it didn't...
The Kazekage himself sat in the first row on the left, while Hanabi sat on the right side. Seeing her little sister so excited and smiling, warmed her heart. And when Neji took Hinata's and Gaara's hands to lay hers on top of his, she took one deep breath before she locked eyes with Gaara's. He was here and he didn't look like he would actually hate her... that was everything she needed right now to take away her fear.
The eldest member of the Kazekage's council stepped in front of them and began his speech. He talked about Suna and Konoha, the traditions both villages had and how Suna's were now part of Hinata's life. He talked about the meaning of a marriage, the meaning of love and compromises. To both, the groom and bride, it was ridicolous to listen to his speech. It was almost ironic... Talking about love at an arranged marriage. Though some things he said sounded quite true to her... and it made her think about them.
Hinata didn't look at the old man, she just looked at Gaara. She tried to read his thoughts. She tried to see through him like she had done nights ago. Gaara returned her glance but he didn't gave her any possibility to get through to him. They had put him into dark red robes, similar to his everyday robes. The only difference, his pants were white and also a white tanuki was sewed to his robes right above his heart.
Even now Rasa tried to humiliate his son. Reminding everyone he was a monster.
"Sabaku no Gaara. Hiashi Hyuga entrusted you to take care of his beloved daughter. You shall love and protect her with everything you have. Do you promise to do so for the rest of your life?" the elder man said and Gaara turned to face him. Hinata saw him swallow hard before he answered with a low, barely hearable voice.
"I promise"
The elder nodded and now turned to Hinata.
"Hinata Hyuga. Sabaku no Rasa entrusted you to take care of his beloved son. You shall stay at his side, no matter what happens. You shall love and care for him with everything you have. Do you promise to do so for the rest of your life" Hinata's blood was rushing through her body at this moment. She looked at Gaara, who caught her eyes, and answered:
"I promise"
The elder smiled at her, took their hands and intertwined them. Hinata closed her eyes shortly at Gaara's warm hands.
"I now pronounce you as husband and wife. Kazekage-sama," he bowed. " Sabaku no Gaara and Sabaku no Hinata."
He turned to Gaara again.
"Kiss your bride, demon" he whispered, just for Hinata and Gaara to hear, and Hinata gasped at his sudden coldness. She squeezed Gaara's hand gently. Her instincts wanted to protect Gaara...
Gaara swallowed again and hestitated. The red haired man in front of her looked nervous and anxious. To sooth him, she smiled at him and nodded lightly.
Mechanically Gaara got closer to her, rose his hands to lay them on her now blushing cheeks. Slowly he leaned down and closed his eyes, just like she did. Seconds later she felt Gaara's incredibly soft lips touching hers carefully. Out of reflex Hinata wrapped her arms around Gaara's back to pull him closer. Kissing him was amazing. It felt like a rush. She wanted more. He was so gentle, so soft. She didn't want him to stop. Heat was crawling up her body, her legs felt shaky, her hands sweaty.
After a few seconds he withdrew their kiss and looked at her with wide eyes, his face was flushed, his mouth slightly open.
Far away people were applauding. At least it seemed like they were far away. Gaara and Hinata stood there frozen, shocked of how good this had felt for both of them. They just looked at each other, captured in the aftermath of their first kiss.
