A/N: HEY ALL! I don't know if any one of you have read this manga but if so I still hope you enjoy this story cause I will be meshing one of my favorite manga with one of my favorite anime.
Warnings: YAOI that means a BOY LOVING ANOTHER BOY, slight ooc-ness (but I'll try not to let it be to much but it sometimes cant be helped in cases like this), lemon (I'll force my self to do it but don't expect much) and some language here or there. Oh and look out for Misaki she's not from the Naruto world but she is in Mr. Flower Bride (and she looks just like an Uchiha and her hair is short it only goes to the nape of her neck). So that's it IF YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT READ IT
Disclaimer: Alright so listen up and listen good cause I'm only going to say this once ALL THINGS NARUTO AND MR. FLOWER BRIDE BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OWNERS KISHIMOTO MASASHI AND LILY HOSHINO! Thank you and enjoy the story...
It was a beautiful afternoon at the Uchiha clan residence. The sun shining, birds chirping, and the Shishi Odoshi(1) was enough to sooth almost anyone. Almost. Inside one of the rooms of the main house a conversation started that would soon change one boys life forever.
"Sorry, Sasuke." Itachi said, smirking, not seeming sorry at all. "It seems our baby IS a boy." finished Hinata smiling.
"WHAT!" demanded Sasuke while glaring, "But d-DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT IT'S A GIRL FOR SURE BECAUSE HINATA-SAN WAS CARRYING THE BABY HIGH!"
"An old wives tale is just an old wives tale after all." Itachi replied still smirking, the bastard.
"N-no way...but...but I don't..." Sasuke clenched his trembling fist, "I DON'T WANT TO MARRY A GUY!"
Sasuke went into school the next day and flopped down in his chair and threw his head on his desk in a very un-Uchiha like manner. He sat there brooding for a minute before closing his eyes and going back to the conversation he'd had with his family the previous night.
"If the eldest son, becomes father to a son, his younger brothers must marry a male to prevent disputes over family succession. This is a distinguished tradition the Uchiha family has kept for generations. As the head house, we must follow that tradition." Fugaku head of the Uchiha clan stated while sipping some tea.
"Don't take it so hard, Sasuke, I'll find a pretty boy from the Maki for you to take as your bride, okay?" Mikoto his carefree mother told him. Itachi put his hand to his mouth in a thinking pose and said, "Hmm, I really thought it'd be a girl... we need to come up with a new name." completely ignoring his younger brothers distress, hey it wasn't him that had to marry a guy so why should he care, right? Right.
"Now, Itachi-san, we're still talking about Sasuke-san here." Hinata said looking at her husband exasperatedly. "What's a 'Maki'?" asked Misaki, Sasuke and Itachi's younger sister. "It refers to the clan." answered their mother. "Ohh." she replied apparently satisfied.
Sasuke opened his eyes but stayed in his brooding mode. "So we're ignoring laws and everything, is that it?" he muttered with a scowl on his face. 'I can't believe I'm tied down to tradition in the twenty-first century' he thought but was snapped out of it by a looming shadow. He looked up and saw a mop of, what had to be soft, blonde hair.
"Uchiha," Naruto said with big curious blue eyes, "What are you mumbling about?" "Oh, Uzumaki." Sasuke said siting up and folding his arms. Naruto sat in the chair in front of him and held a bag of jerky up. "Want some?" he asked. "What flavor?" Sasuke asked back.
"Roast." Naruto replied. "I'm not a fan." Sasuke said. "Ehh? It's my favorite." Naruto stated while sticking one in his mouth then resting his chin on his palm and his elbow on the table. Sasuke laid his head back down on his crossed arms and closed his eyes. "But the taste's so blah." Sasuke said. "Then... how about some juice?" Naruto asked reaching into his bag and pulling out a bottle.
Sasuke positioned his face so it was hidden in his arms. "I don't like amino drinks either. They have no taste." he sighed then looked at Naruto when he heard giggling. Naruto looked at him then closed his eyes and smiled. "You're like a little kid." he stated causing Sasuke to give him one of his rare smiles.
After school Sasuke went home, not as sulky as before thanks to a certain blonde. Sasuke was hanging out in is room when his mom came by told him to dress in a presentable manner and meet his father in the tea room for the omiai(2). When he got there he sat before his father his scowl making a repeat performance but his father just ignored it.
Fugaku waited a minute before he started talking, "Now, Sasuke, because you are a healthy, energetic eighteen year old-" "Completely disregarding the fact that I am ONLY a healthy, energetic eighteen year old." Sasuke interrupted which Fugaku yet again ignored. "-you are old enough to start a family."
Sasuke hunched forward feeling sick at the impending doom of his bachelor life. "How many times must I tell you not to slouch! Whatever will you do if you disappoint your bride?" His father snapped while slapping his back causing Sasuke to straighten out.
"That's what I'm aiming for." Sasuke grumbled "SASUKE!" his father started to scold but was interrupted by Itachi "Sasuke, father, he has arrived." The door opened up to reveal a bowing figure and Sasuke stared feeling a tinge of recognition. The figure raised his head so Sasuke could see his face and when he did Sasuke damn near had an heart attack. His father cleared his throat and proceeded to introduce him. "Sasuke, this is Uzumaki Naruto-san."
"What the... UZUMAKI!" Sasuke yelled while pointing, ignoring his father slapping his hand down and telling him not to point. Naruto just smiled and held up his hand in the victory sign while saying, "Yo!"
Sasuke and Naruto were left alone in the tea room to talk. Sasuke had his head down on the table, fingers tangled in his hair, while Naruto was on the other side enjoying some snacks. "Hey, what do you think about these tea snacks?" Naruto asked, trying to start a conversation.
"You could say they don't have a distinct flavor." he finished looking at Sasuke for a response while eating a bite of cake. Sasuke stayed quiet for awhile before, "Uzumaki, so you're part of the Uchiha clan huh?" "Yeah, the Uchiha clan controls this entire region. So naturally there are lots of branch families." Naruto replied smiling.
"Are you okay with it?" Sasuke asked glaring but Naruto paid it no mind and just asked back "With what?" Sasuke slammed his fist on the floor next to him and hissed, "Us getting married! You know we're both guys, right!" while glaring even harder, "If either one of us goes out with a girl, that becomes an affair, you know!"
Naruto smiled. "Poor Uchiha. You really like your women don't you?" he laughed then looked like he had an epiphany "Ah! Since I'm also going to be 'Uchiha' from now on, I guess I should call you 'Sasuke-san?'" he finished looking earnest and Sasuke could swear he saw flowers appear around him.
Sasuke deflated "Are you even listening to what I'm saying?" he asked lowering his head. "Oh that's right though the ceremony is still a ways off, I'm going to be living here from today on to get used to your family customs. Oh. I say ceremony, but it'll be held in secret." Naruto said smiling again. Sasuke stayed quiet putting his cheek in his hand, leaning on his arm, and glaring once again at Naruto.
"Until then I'll try to learn all your favorite foods and flavo-Uchiha?" Naruto stopped when he saw Sasuke sitting up strait and staring at him seeming to contemplate something. "You... think this is some sort of make-believe or something?" Sasuke asked eyes hardening. "Eh..." Naruto said while giving a confused look.
"You keep laughing like it's all fun and games. You just don't get it." Sasuke continued but Naruto just smiled again even though this one looked a little strained. "Uchi-" Naruto tried but Sasuke interrupted "I'M TELLING YOU TO THINK ABOUT IT SERIOUSLY!" he snapped before slamming his hand on the table knocking everything over and storming out leaving Naruto alone.
Naruto just stared at the door Sasuke exited through for a moment before turning to the table "I guess I should have expected this." he sighed leaning over to pick up the teacup that spilled and quickly put it down so his now trembling hands wouldn't drop it. He bent his head so no one passing by would see the few tears he shed.
After taking a few minutes to calm himself down Naruto went out to look for Sasuke calling his name but stopped when he heard voices "You can't." a female voice said. 'That sounded like Hinata-san' Naruto thought and inched closer.
"If you back out now your Father will be furious." she continued.
"Back out now? I never even got a choice to back out of." Sasuke glared.
"That may be true, but Sasuke-san," Hinata tried.
"Anyway I don't want to, not with him, ANYONE BUT UZUMAKI!" Sasuke snapped.
The shock, as he heard Sasuke say this, caused Naruto to lose his balance and knock the table into the wall. When Sasuke and Hinata heard this they turned towards it and saw Naruto. "Uzumaki," Sasuke said.
Naruto looked like a dear caught in the headlights before he turned and ran the other way. "Uzumaki!" Sasuke yelled trying to stop him.
After searching almost everywhere for Naruto he finally found him laying down in the outside hallway looking out at the koi pond. Sasuke put his hands in his pockets, walked up behind him and sighed. "Uzumaki" he said. "Now which one of us just doesn't get it?" Naruto asked. "What don't I get?" Sasuke asked back.
Naruto didn't answer instead he asked, "You're not going to go through with wedding?" "So? What's wrong with that?" again Sasuke asked back. "First ask me why I was smiling and laughing, before deciding things on your own." Naruto finally replied still not looking at him.
Sasuke sat down behind him. "Hey, stop rambling about a million things at once." he said looking at the blonde mop of hair. "I'm not doing anything of the sort!" Naruto yelled sitting up and whirling around to face him. Sasuke was startled by watery blue eyes and asked "Are you cryi-" "Everything, everything I'm saying, it's all because I love you." Naruto interrupted finally letting the tears loose he was trying to keep in.
"Uzumaki." Sasuke said surprised. "It made me so happy. I'd given up since we're both boys, but then this marriage was arranged. So it made me happy, I was happy that I could just be with you." Naruto finished crying more and Sasuke blushed ever so slightly from the confession. "Uzumaki!" he yelled startling Naruto and then surprising him by leaning forward and pressing his lips lightly against Naruto's then running his thumb along Naruto's mouth.
"Why?" Naruto asked with wide eyes when he was done. "Huh? What do you mean why?" Sasuke asked running his hand through his hair and looking away. Naruto scrunched his eyebrows together and clenched his fist. "But you hate me right?" he asked. "I never said that." Sasuke said. Naruto's eyes went wide.
"Eh? Then you don't hate me?" he asked. "No." Sasuke replied looking down. "Then why? Why did you say you'd rather have anyone but me?" Naruto trembled clenching his fist. "That's cause..." Sasuke started but didn't finish so Naruto prompted him, "Cause?" "Well, see... I thought," Sasuke mumbled the last part so low that Naruto didn't hear him. "Eh?" Naruto said.
"THERE WERE TIMES I THOUGHT YOU WERE PRETTY! THAT'S WHY!" Sasuke yelled out in embarrassment startling Naruto yet again and making him blush heavily. "So if we stay together, I might fall in love with you for real. That would be bad." he finished not looking Naruto in the eye.
"No, that's not bad at all! That's good. It's totally fine!" Naruto said and tackled Sasuke. "H-hey." Sasuke said when he knocked his head. "I'm...not going to give up on this marriage!" Naruto stated with a firm voice, determination in his eyes. Sasuke leaned back on his hands and threw his head back. "There you go, getting chipper all of a sudden." he sighed. Naruto blushed and smiled. "Cause, I'm happy." he tucked his blonde hair behind his right ear. "You said I was pretty." he finished.
Sasuke stared at him for a minute before leaning forward grabbing Naruto's hand and bringing him in for another kiss. Naruto went wide eyed for a moment before closing his eyes and leaning into it. When they pulled apart Naruto looked at Sasuke and smiled. "So do you love me now?" he asked and Sasuke smacked the back of his head lightly. "Dobe. It's to soon for that." he replied with a light glare.
"Then... can you fall in love with me by our wedding day?" Naruto asked completely serious. "What is this homework?" Sasuke asked back. "Uchiha. I'll work hard to be a good wife. I will. So... please marry me." he said blushing. Sasuke smiled at him before replying. "Okay, okay." he said and he could almost see little stars appear around Naruto as he smiled at Sasuke's answer. That was until, "It's a tradition, so I have no choice." Sasuke finished making Naruto glare at him, well actually it was more of a pout but let's not tell him that.
"Anyway don't get so hung up on whether I fall for you or not." Sasuke smirked and Naruto smiled at him "Oh well that's okay for now. Anyway let's have a good life together, dear husband." Naruto laughed.
"Husband!... Man this is so messed up." he sighed.
