Naruto and Hinata

Naruto was in his dressing room, dressed up in a black wedding tuxedo, standing in front of a mirror, trying but failing to tie his bright, and of course orange silk bow tie. He was seriously getting frustrated with the damn thing.

Today, was his wedding day to his beloved Hinata-chan and he could not wait - it's like he'd been waiting his whole life for this. Glancing at the reflected window in the mirror he could see that today was the perfect day for a wedding; the summery sun was smiling down at them, the birds were chirping musically, trees of purple foliage were blooming gracefully, he could hear people milling about and -

'And I still can't get this damn thing on me.'

Naruto's face scrunched up and before he knew it, he had thrown the stupid bow tie onto the floor. He didn't need the stupid thing in order to marry his Hinata-can anyways, he shrugged.

Making sure that everything else was perfect, smoothing non-existent wrinkles in his outfit, Naruto remembered that he still had to finish off his wedding speech.

He pouted cutely. 'I'm supposed to be good at words so why the hell am I stuck on this' he thought to himself as he ran his hands across his blonde hair that was messy but actually made him look more handsome and also - in Hinata's words - cute. He sat on the chair in front of a small table.

He'd been so busy, trying to make sure everything was absolutely perfect for Hinata (she, his female friends and mother's and his friends' mothers - obaa-chans' as he called them - did most of the planning, but he still had things to do of course) and with all the things to do he hadn't had too much time to write his speech. Though it's not like he'd forgotten about it, he did try at some points that he had a bit of free time to try write as much as he could but nothing came to mind.

And so, here was Naruto Uzumaki (without a bow tie), at a loss for words as he pouted even more towards the blank sheet of paper and pen that was set on the small table in front of him.

He scratched his whisker marked cheek with one finger "what am I supposed to do, dattebayo?" he wondered aloud.

"Do what usuratonkachi?" inquired suddenly a very familiar voice.

Now by no means did Naruto jump out of his seat and squawk. He did. But he'd forever deny it in the future if his best friend ever teased him about it. (It wasn't his fault if Sasuke somehow sneaked up right behind him and said it right beside his ear; by all rights he should've heard the door open and seen him in the mirror but this was Sasuke the sneaky bastard).

Naruto turned around with an indignant, pouty look on his face. "Seriously teme, what do you want"

In all of his Uchiha glory, Sasuke Uchiha stood there, dressed in his own tuxedo, - with a perfectly placed bow tie, Naruto noticed - hands in his pocket in an 'I'm too cool for school' way and gave Naruto his usual arrogant smirk.

"Hn. You haven't answered my question yet dobe." he replied back.

"Che. If you must know teme, I haven't written my wedding speech yet. Kaa-chan is so gonna kill me if I don't have one at all."

At this Sasuke grimaced. Kushina obaa-chan was a force to be reckoned with and wanted everything to be done perfectly for her only son's wedding or else she'll be coming for you if there's anything out of place - this also applies to her own son.

His smirk was back quickly though, a chance to tease his best friend (not that he'd say that out loud) in any way at all was a chance that must be taken every time.

"I'm shocked usuratonkachi, you not able to come up with words. Hell has frozen over. Is someone getting nervous?"

"Oi teme! Naruto Uzumaki does not get nervous. It's just a speech, I'll get it done in no time!" Naruto replied and sat back down on the chair and picked up the pen to start writing, his head bowed down so that Sasuke couldn't see the paper from his angle. Though truly Naruto still didn't know what to write. He just wanted it to be perfect and anything that does come to mind now sounds too stiff and formal.

Sasuke amused, instead looked around the room and raised his eyebrow at Naruto's bow tie that was on the floor. He bent down and picked it up.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to tie a bow tie dobe, but really, why didn't you just ask someone to do it for you like Kushina obaa-chan?" He asked towards Naruto who still had his head bowed low towards the sheet of paper.

"I just wanted to try it myself teme" Naruto said as he slowly raised his head up and turned it around to face Sasuke with a pout.

"Who's the one that tells me to try to not do everything by myself?" Sasuke says as he can see the underlying worry in Naruto's face. Small things have always been meaningful to Naruto, the emotional dobe. Nonetheless, it's what makes Naruto Naruto.

At this Naruto unusually stayed quiet.

Sasuke sighed and walked forward and grabbed Naruto's arm to make him stand up and started to tie the bright bow tie for him.

Once he was done, Naruto looked at him with a look of awe on his face.

"What dobe?" Sasuke said, a bit annoyed at the awed look.

"Damn teme. You do have a heart. No wonder Mikoto obaa-chan always tells us that" snickered Naruto as he reached up and pulled Sasuke's cheek hard. Though really, Naruto knew Sasuke more than any of their other friends so he did know that Sasuke had a soft spot under that stoic exterior - he just didn't show it much. Always fun to tease him about it though.

"Che. Your bow tie might be fixed but you still need to write your wedding speech dobe" Sasuke reminded him as he irritably slapped Naruto's hands away from his face.

Reminded of this, Naruto pouted with his head low.

"I can't think of anything to write" he admitted.

"Hn. You're bad at writing. Just say what comes to mind when you have to - that's how you are dobe" said Sasuke.

A grin slowly stretched across Naruto's face and said "You're right teme! Why didn't I think of that" he stated.

"Of course I'm right. And of course you wouldn't think of something so simple as that" Sasuke said haughtily with a smirk.

Naruto rolled his eyes but otherwise ignored the comment. A knock on the door was head and he turned towards it to hear his mother say "Naruto! Be ready in fifteen minutes! I'll meet you out here in ten, I just need to go make sure that Hinata's ready and get your father too"

He smiled and replied "Hai kaa-chan!". Footsteps were heard walking away with loud mutters of "Minato that sissy, where'd he go"

He snickered at this and turned back to Sasuke who was curiously holding a wrapped up box to Naruto. Naruto carefully took it and said "Sasuke?"

Sasuke said "I'd rather give your wedding present now then later"

Naruto started to tear the wrapping carefully and found that it was a scrapbook, and as he rifled through the pages, he saw different pictures including everyone - his friends and his family - and noticed how the the pictures showed how they had all grown up. There were also used cinema tickets, ramen vouchers beside a picture of them having, well: ramen and many more memories throughout the years. As he neared the end he saw more empty pages and concluded that these were for more memories that would be made.

He looked up at Sasuke who was looking at the window with a far away look in his eyes.

"Thank you Sasuke" Naruto said sincerely with a smile and with the use of his name. The blue-eyed groom knew that this kind of thing was not something Sasuke would normally do, it was more his own type of thing; he was so grateful for the thought put into the present.

He put his fist up towards Sasuke as he carefully set down the scrapbook back in its box and set it down on the table for it to be taken home later.

Sasuke had turned his face back towards him and smirked and bumped fists with him.

"Make Hinata happy, Naruto" he instructed (though he knew Naruto would and already had) to his best friend on behalf of Hinata, who was also one of his friends.

Naruto grinned at this "Course I will teme! Now! It's time for me to get married to the love of my life!" he shouted as he started to walk towards the door ready to meet his mother and father outside before he went and waited for Hinata outside in the ceremony garden.

Sasuke rolled his eyes in good humour and followed Naruto out to do his role as best man and looked around at everything.

It really was, a perfect day for a wedding…

Meanwhile…

Hinata too had gotten ready in her wedding outfit, that was a beautifully chosen kimono of a pure white, expensive silk. She wore a gorgeous looking corsage on her wrist. Her hair was done up stylishly, courtesy of one of her best friends Ino Yamanaka and Sakura Haruno and her face glowed with not just the lightly placed makeup, but of her natural beauty coming through.

She was so happy to marry the man who she had crush on when they were younger - a crush that had quickly grown into an infinite love - who was as bright as the sun, embracing everyone with his warmth.

She finally got to stand right beside him rather than looking at him from behind, as shy as she was.

She had felt such joy when Naruto had bashfully and cutely asked her out for the first time which she had gladly accepted. A first date had turned into many, into constant house visits, joy with their family and friends, into something more, especially when he had proposed.

As her thoughts flowed, she thought of her beloved mother who had unfortunately passed from child birth - though this didn't mean she wasn't grateful for the existence of her younger sister Hanabi who she loved to bits.

Her mother Hitomi was an elegant and kind woman, quiet but confident at the same time and not afraid to speak out when needed.

She wished her kaa-chan was here to witness her wedding so much though she was happy because she knew her mother wouldn't want her to be sad in any way.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in" she said.

The door opened and there was her father, holding a small sized, wooden case that had intricate designs on it - designs that she could tell were hand made.

"Hinata" he said lovingly.

"Otou-sama?" She inquired. Her father had reverted back to the man he once was when her mother was alive a few years ago after realising the consequences of how he had previously treated his elder daughter. He had asked for forgiveness though she had said that there was nothing to forgive and had cried tears of joy at having the father she once knew back.

"You look beautiful daughter" he said with one hand coming to lightly caress her cheek.

"Thank you Otou-sama" she smiled and then looked at the box and back up to her father with a curious look.

Hiashi seeing this gave small and light smile and said "Ah. This is an heirloom of your mother's that she wanted to pass onto you once you were to get married, just as she had worn it. She would've been so happy to see you have it".

Hinata already had unshed tears in her eyes as she very carefully took the case in her hand and gracefully opened it. She lightly gasped and put one hand to her mouth. Now a single tear did gently fall down her cheek as she was filled with various emotions of a hint of sadness, utter joy, longing and unexplained love as she gently took the object out of the case.

It was a beautiful hair piece, one that was shaped in a crescent moon that was of a silvery grey colour, with tiny detailing of different types of lavender floral foliage going outwards from the middle of the outside curve of the moon, starting with many of the flowers and elegantly decreasing in the number. It suited Hinata perfectly, as if she was destined to wear it the moment it was made.

She had no words except to look at her father gratefully with a content smile.

Hiashi lightly took the alluring hair piece from her and delicately placed it onto Hinata's hair.

Hinata looked in the mirror and felt a sense of calm. Her mother may not be alive here to witness today but she still lived on in their hearts.

Just then a giggling Hanabi with a basket of flowers burst into the room with a grumpy looking Neji following find. Though once he saw Hinata his face relaxed and he gave her a nod with a smile.

"Hinata" he said.

"Neji nii-san, Hanabi-chan" she smiled.

Hanabi was looking at her sister with awe and squealed "Nee-chan! You look so beautiful! Naruto's gonna totally ravage you!" she grinned unable to hold back on the teasing.

"Hanabi!" Neji and Hinata squawked, embarrassed at such words. Hiashi just put an hand to his face exasperatingly - his younger daughter was always the boisterous one compared to her more calm family.

"Hanabi, p-please don't say such th-things!" Hinata stuttered with a red filled face. She got over her stuttering years ago but certain things like this would bring the habit back.

"Oh! By the way, you should've seen Neji nii-sans face when his ear got pulled by Kushina obaa-chan" Hanabi cackled, referring to why she had the giggles when coming into the room.

Neji sent her a glare, as if to tell her never to speak of it again. "Speaking of which Hinata, Kushina obaa-chan asked if you were ready and sent a reminder that the ceremony will be beginning in fifteen minutes".

"Yes nii-san. I'm ready" she said confidently with a smile.

Neji smiled and then said "I'll have to make sure to tell Naruto to take care of you well".

Hinata lightly laughed, amused as she knew that he was very protective of her and Hanabi and had already threatened Naruto multiple times. "Nii-san you know he will".

Neji rolled his eye but gave a smirk as Naruto was one of his closest friends so he did know - but that didn't mean he couldn't scare the guy a little, he silently cackled in his mind.

"Yeah yeah! Let's get this show on the road people!" Hanabi said loudly, ready and excited to carry out her duties as sister of the bride and bridesmaid. She was really happy for her sister just as someone knocked on the door and said "The groom is now waiting and everything is ready".

Hiashi nodded at this and held his arm out to Hinata which she took. They all started to walk out of the room and heard a merry wedding tune start to play.

As the double doors opened, the sun shined with vigour and Hinata could see Naruto with his usual smile at the end of the aisle, as she was led down the aisle, Sasuke standing beside him with a smirk and she could see all their friends and family smiling or smirking in some cases, too.

As she came to a stop, Hinata looked into those ocean blue eyes whilst Naruto looked into lavender, both lovingly. He held out his hand to her and she took it as the wedding ceremony started.

A perfect day for a wedding indeed...
