Drabble #11: Happiness
Everyone deserves it.

They lay in bed, sweaty and panting and sated. Naruto's head rested on Sasuke's chest, and the thin sheets barely covered their cooling bodies.

"We really should be going, or we'll be late for the wedding," Sasuke murmured, running his fingers through his lover's damp strands of golden hair.

"Hmm…" Naruto answered drowsily, heavy eyelids drooping over hazy blue eyes. He snuggled closer to his lover. "Shikamaru won't mind…"

"Unfortunately," Sasuke smiled and planted a kiss on the top of Naruto's head. "Ino will. Come one now, be a good boy and get into the shower."

"Sasuke-kun! Naruto! You're here!" Sakura squealed at them in greeting, looking ecstatic even though it wasn't her wedding. She gave both her former teammates a hug.

"Sakura-chan!" Naruto laughed when she almost strangled him in her enthusiasm. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't the bridesmaid be with the bride?"

Sakura rolled her green eyes. "Ino was being a pig as usual. She was going on and on about how she beat the rest of us girls to be the first to get hitched, blah blah blah… I just had to get away!"

Sasuke's lips twitched. "It's her wedding day, Sakura. You should at least be nice to her for once."

Sakura gave him a mock glare. "If I wasn't being nice to her, I'd have shoved her wedding cake down her throat the moment she started yakking."

Naruto gave a snort of laughter. It always amused him to see Ino and Sakura bicker the way he and Sasuke used to.

"Well, make yourselves comfortable. The ceremony should be starting in a sec." Sakura waved and hurried back to her best friend.

Ino's home was already packed with their friends. Almost everyone they knew was present to witness the happy occasion. Neji and Hinata (Hinata had an engagement ring on her finger. Naruto would later tease Neji about it), Kiba and Shino, Kurenai-sensei and Asuma-sensei, Iruka-sensei and Kakashi-sensei, Tsunade and Jiraiya, Lee and Gai-sensei (both were crying their eyes out happily), Shizune, Tenten and even Tonton.

Shikamaru actually looked excited (Naruto's mind boggled at the fact). Ino looked radiant in her mother's wedding kimono. Chouji, the best man, looked as happy for her teammates as Sakura did for her best friend.

"They look good together," Naruto murmured, leaning back against Sasuke. "Ino makes a lovely bride."

Sasuke's arm snaked around the blonde's waist. "I think you'd make a beautiful bride," he whispered into Naruto's ear.

The ceremony was interrupted momentarily when Naruto yelled, "WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN! ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I LOOK LIKE A GIRL!"


Owari.

Author's Notes:
I wrote this when I was feeling really good about life, but don't expect all my drabbles to be as fluffy as this... The life of a shinobi is too unpredictable to give them a 'happily ever after'.
