Prologue: It Begins

2 months before wedding day

Pein sat on a couch in his lounge reading a newspaper, scowling at it now and then. He was still scowling when there was a knock on his door. He sighed and stood up to answer it. If it was one of his friends they had better have a good excuse for bugging him when he was rarely off on a Saturday.

He opened the door.

"What do you want-" He stopped midsentence when he saw who was at the door. "Oh, Konan, what are you doing here?"

Konan stood with a raised eyebrow, since when was it wrong to visit her best friend? Before she could speak Pein ushered her inside. He was dressed in a jeans and white tank top; his usual attire when he was at home during the weekend. She sat on one of the couches while he sat next to her.

"So, you had something to say?" He said, crossing his arms.

"I did but before I say anything- here." Konan handed him an envelope.

"What is this?" Pein held the envelope between his thumb and forefinger, turning it around to see if there was any writing on it. Konan rolled her eyes.

"Just open it."

Pein did as she said and to his surprise there was an invitation inside and not just any invitation, a wedding one at that. Pein never got any wedding invitations because he never attended them anyway but when he read whose wedding it was…

"You're getting married to that man?"

"Yes, and I have a favour to ask of you." Pein face palmed. He just knew what was coming.

Wedding day

Konan stood in front of the body length mirror admiring herself. She had to hand it to the makeup artist, she did an amazing job. As they say less is more and that was exactly what the artist had said but even so Konan was surprised at the flawlessness at using so little.

The simple strapless, pure white silk dress with a black sash around the waist was what Konan had fallen in love with when looking for a dress and with a pair of white heels it was just perfect.

They had decided on three bridesmaids and best men. The bridesmaid would be friends or family from his side and best men from her side. Of course she didn't have any living family she could use so she took people that meant just as much. She had chosen her best friend Pein which was a very obvious choice and to his dismay he couldn't refuse. Her second choice was Deidara because he practically begged her and last but not least was Hidan. She would've chosen Itachi but he had family issues at the time and couldn't come to fittings and such.

She looked around her room. Most of her furniture and items were already gone because she was moving to his house. The few items that were left behind were mostly larger, more fragile things, such as the mirror which she would fetch some other time. She was going to miss the place, it was her first home she had bought from her savings and now she was going to sell it and let the money grow in the bank. It was small but big enough for her.

Her chain of thoughts was interrupted when the door to the room opened and Pein came in with Hidan. They both donned black suits with blue ties. Hidan was pulling at his jacket and frowning but when he looked up at Konan his eyes widened a little and he wolf whistled.

"Now that guy is seriously fucking lucky. He's gonna have the surprise of his life." Hidan grinned at her. Pein rolled his eyes at the silver haired man and then looked to Konan.

"Where's Deidara?" Konan asked when she noticed the blonde wasn't with them

"Touching up the hall along with arguing with Sasori." The two were in charge of decorating the hall but they argued a lot over most things.

Konan chuckled and smiled. Pein didn't look to happy about wearing a suit. He hated the things, they were way to stiff and uncomfortable for his liking. He had even complained about the bridesmaids eyeing him when they went for fittings. He was also forced to take out his piercings on his face and ears but he refused to take out the two below his bottom lip.

He sighed. The things he did for his friends.

He looked to Konan.

"Are you sure about this? It's almost time to go." Konan held his gaze before nodding.

It was the biggest change in her life as well as mistake.

A/N: Just something that was on my mind. How was it? Good, bad? Should I continue? It was just the prologue so the usual chapters will be longer and much better.
