Important Author Note: after much consideration and internal debate, I feel as thought this story has lost its flavor with readers or a lot of my readers gave up yaoi as a new year resolution. So, the story may end a life event sooner than about 20 of you voted for at 5 of you voted against. Plus, the fact I just had to check which chapter I'm on is an indicator it's gotten very long. Lol. So, I'm sorry. I really am. This story may continue as a secondary part for those who want to read the other part. Author out.

Chapter 36

Sasuke and Naruto sat at work in their separate offices quietly. Sasuke was going over proposals for the company and Naruto was planning out the guest list. Sasukes mother had commandeered his list since she knew who he would invite and who she would allow and who needed to be given a firm talking to prior. Suigetsu.

Naruto tapped his pen to his lips and realized he would be taking up more than 3/4 of the people in their allotted space for the venue. Naruto still didn't have the guts to tell Sasuke their wedding was very uppity and probably not something he would enjoy. He really didn't know where he went wrong. Carson was texting him the sample mock ups of what their things would look like now he really considered shooting himself. He was pretty sure Sasuke had said no feathers... And they were in the damn center pieces.

Naruto contemplated suicide in every way possible.

In the Uchiha household over in Japan.

Mikoto scrolled through the photos that the designer sent her and shook her head at all of them.

"What's wrong dear?" Fugaku asked seeing his wife's displeased face.

"I know for a fact my baby did not plan or have input in these decisions... This is terrible. Feathers mixed with flowers and beads atop of an orange table and burnt orange runners and tea light candles on the bottom. That is not Sasuke. That's a train wreck."

"Could you image Sasuke face walking into the venue though? It would be comical. Perhaps Naruto was a little overwhelmed?" Fugaku said casually looking at the photos as she scrolled. They were truly horrific.

Naruto and Sasuke were called in during separate times for a tuxedo fitting and Naruto walked in hating his life. There, his tuxedo hung broken apart, yet he could see how nice he'd look. It was simple and traditional. No crazy spins. No out of this world ideas. Just plain. Why couldn't he put stuff together the way his obviously better half did. Why?

"Mr. Uzumaki, if you'd please." The elderly gentleman said with a gesture.

Naruto slipped the dress shirt on first and the old man attached and adjusted the shirt stays. Then he slid on the slacks which were a perfect fit and then the vest. So far. Everything was clean and proper. The bow tie and jacket followed and Naruto stood there in a seemingly boring get up, but was impressed at how he looked.

"The colors will be changed to accommodate the theme and colors of your wedding. We just wanted to ensure everything was a spot on fit." The old man informed.

"What?"

"The young man who called in the order specified Orange would be your main color and asked for that to be incorporated. You may go."

Naruto took everything off and walked out.

"Thoughtful bastard..." Naruto said with an apparent frown marring his face.

Naruto went home and flipped his phone in his hand. Sasuke would be home in about an hour and then he would have to figure out how their wedding would even work. Nothing would go together. Nothing. It was horrible. Beyond all belief. And it was his fault.

"This is why everyone calls you a Baka, baka." Naruto said out loud.

Naruto smirked as he smoothed his t-shirt out and put jeans on. He was going out with Kiba. For old times sake. And he realllllly needed to have a complete breakdown. He walked into the living room and gave Sasuke a peck on the lips and straddled his lap.

"Stay safe. Don't drink to the point that I will have to bail you from jail. If you need a ride home call." Sasuke said going over the basics.

Naruto hugged him and sighed.

"We aren't getting drunk. At all. A few beers and that's it. We're going down to the pier." Naruto informed.

He grabbed his house keys and headed downstairs. He walked to the end of his lawn and waited until Kiba pulled up and parked. They started their walk to the pier.

"Alright, so, tell me what's on your mind."

"Damn, am I really that transparent?!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Absolutely." Kiba said making a face.

"Dude, I totally fucked up our wedding. I did exactly what Sasuke wouldn't want and now it's closing in on us. We're screwed. Damn convenient summer wedding. Why couldn't we do a fall wedding?

"Dumbass. Call your coordinator and tell him you don't want whatever disaster you ordered." Kiba said.

"It's more complicated than that. I'd have to retract my order and pick out new shit and I do not know if I can handle it." Naruto pulled his hair.

"Then own up to it and tell him your sorry but he may hate you for all eternity." Kiba said shrugging. He didn't want this drama and if Naruto was this stressed it'd be terrible.

A few beers at the bar and a bawling blonde who threw his masculinity out a window left two best friends at the park across the pier staring up at the sky.

Naruto slumped over and Kiba slid Naruto's phone out of his pocket and called Sasuke for a little help.

"Wouldn't get drunk my ass." Was Sasukes reply.

Sasuke got Hiruzen in the car and drove the two blocks to the park and Kiba carried Naruto over and put him in the back and took a seat in the front.

"Yo, Sasuke... Like, how pissed would you be, if your wedding was a complete disaster?" Kiba asked a little on edge recalling the very scary pictures Naruto had shown him.

Sasuke looked over his shoulder at a snoring Naruto and looked at Kiba.

"Honestly?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah. Honestly."

"I would be extremely still pissed and subtly make Naruto may for that disaster for a long time."

"But you would marry him? Right?"

"Of course. Naruto could make our wedding the worst wedding in the entire world with everything I hate and I would still marry him if he wanted me. The details don't matter as much as the reason for being there. But I would still be upset, yet very happy because it would after all be my wedding day." Sasuke finished his input.

"Cool."

"Is this what has been eating at him for a few weeks now?"

"Yes."

Sasuke nodded and pulled into his driveway. He carried Naruto upstairs and Kiba grabbed Hiruzen and they put the two sleeping members of the group into their designated beds.

Kiba sat on the couch realizing he should wait one more house before driving just to safe.

"Scale 1-10 how bad is it." Sasuke more spoke than asked while grabbing a bottle of water.

"Infinity."

"Why couldn't he just tell me?" Sasuke asked a little frustrated.

"Cause it's Naruto. And he's stupid." Kiba said tiredly.

"Can you keep a secret?" Sasuke asked a little amused.

Kiba sat up with a cocked eyebrow.

"From him? Absolutely. I already have to keep his bachelor party a surprise." Kiba said making a valid point.

"On that point, please don't let Naruto do anything too stupid. Last time he got shitfaced he almost got a tattoo but we managed to talk him into that tongue piercing instead." Sasuke mentioned casually leaving out what he walked out with.

"Nah. We did that for his last wedding. I'm planning something a little more mature. More grown up."

"Thank you." Sasuke said with relief grabbing his laptop.

Kiba sat closer to Sasuke to get a look at the screen.

"This is my wedding gift to Naruto." Sasuke said after opening an email and a file alongside it.

"Yeah... You're going to see me a hell of a lot more." Kiba said looking at the pictures.

"That's if I can get it. We will see. And I'll need some best friend of Naruto advice in putting it together."

Kiba's eyes were watering up. "Naruto, thank you for attracting an immensely rich husband. This benefits me greatly. "

Sasuke didn't miss the humor nor the hint of honestly in that statement.

Kiba ended up staying for breakfast in the morning while giving his input. Kiba headed out with a happy smile on his face and drove away.

Sasuke got Hiruzen bathed and dressed. Hiruzen was very talkative now. He made tons of demands. Sasuke was beginning to see the spoiled thing rearing its ugly head predominantly with his child. It was going to stop. Quickly.

Sasuke peeked in and saw Naruto did indeed look restless.

He picked the blondes phone up and checked the text messages and saw the designers photos and Sasuke went an unusual shade of white.

'The fuck is this Naruto? Youve lived with me how long? Whyyyy?! The heck is wrong with you!' Sasuke internally cried. A lot.

Sasuke made Naruto a light snack and left it on the table and rounded up all the pets before feeding them.

Naruto woke up seeing instant ramen and immediately went for it and ate it up in its lukewarm glory. He walked downstairs seeing the dogs nipping and eachother and the cat swatting at their tails. Hiruzen was eating bacon and Sasuke was on the phone.

"Naru!" Hiruzen screeched silencing his Dad who was on the phone.

"Thank you. Please notify me immediately. Good bye." Sasuke said before hanging up the phone.

"Babe, who were you on the phone with?" Naruto asked dumping the liquid and throwing the trash away.

"Someone who you wouldn't know by name so it wouldn't matter to you one way or another."

Naruto shrugged and yawned while putting bread in the toaster.

"Sasuke, would you leave our wedding if you hated it?" Naruto asked.

"Yes. Absolutely."

Naruto froze and Sasuke smirked.

"And I would take you with me to take it out on your ass." Sasuke finished and Naruto started shaking his head.

"Pervert."

"I would be less perverted if you did your job better Naru-chan." Sasuke said throwing the bait hoping for a bite.

"Not now. I'm tired." Naruto said and then the toast popped out.

Sasuke grimaced and went over to Hiruzen and laid on the couch with his laptop.

Naruto walked by and almost choked on his toast seeing that the bastard was watching porn.

"Are you kidding me? In the same room as your kid?!"

"I'm not even hard or remotely turned on." Sasuke spoke easily.

Naruto copped a feel and Sasuke was telling the truth.

Sasuke closed the browser back and went back to what he was actually doing while Naruto reverted into his childhood self and watched cartoons with the one and a half year old.

Sasuke had been going out a lot more to run and Naruto was beginning to wonder if it was because Sasuke was health conscious or wanted to be in amazing shape for the wedding. He really wasn't sure. Naruto did a few exercises around the house smiling when Hiruzen would imitate him although in a much cuter way.

Naruto had inevitably called Carson asking if there was any way he could change his mind which was a resounding "no".

Sasuke on his end of things, felt he had become lazy and as much as he loved shopping, wasn't overly thrilled about buying bigger clothing and would rather maintain his figure. He was balancing work, exercise and personal life all really well. H had filed all the appropriate paperwork in order to marry Naruto, and much to his irritation hear Naruto laugh about him basically being a mail order bride. He wasn't born American, but it's not like he was anymore Japanese. He didn't have cultural roots anywhere.

Sasukes mother had been unnaturally quiet but he suspected she was getting that second grandchild and was swept up in all that nonsense. Sasuke was relatively thrilled he hadn't had to go through adoption processing. Although, being an Uchiha meant favoritism. Itachi would

have no issues.

All was going well.

******** a few weeks later*********

Naruto's stress level basically skyrocketed. So many people rsvped and he could feel the judging already. His hair had begun falling out. He looked at the pile on envelopes and cradled his head.

Sasuke pulled up to the front of the house when something came from inside his house, out through the window shattering the glass and landing on the lawn. Sasuke waited a moment seeing if the house alarm would go off, but it didn't. He deemed it'd be safe to drive away and go pick his Dobe up some wine, ice cream and a stress ball.

Everything was set for his present to Naruto in a sense. It was under construction but coming along nicely. In his small cushions of time he could make he had been driving up there to check on everything exceptionally pleased at the progress. Everything was looking really nice. Except for the fact it wasn't done.

Sasuke drove home tapping his fingers on the steering wheel and watched as people sped by him and he wondered how many times they could get away with breaking traffic laws before they got in trouble. He shook his head and kept driving along the highway before turning on the street stopping short of pulling into his driveway.

Was that... Someone urinating on their house?

It sure as hell better not be Kiba.

Sasuke slowly turned and obviously started the guy who was obviously homeless and he flipped Sasuke off who pulled into his garage and closed the door while hearing profanities being yelled at him.

Sasuke walked up stairs and kissed Naruto on the cheek.

"Dobe, there's a homeless guy pissing on our house." Sasuke said casually.

"What?!" Naruto turned around sharply looking mortified. Sure enough Naruto ran to the window and saw a grizzly looking man yelling at his house.

"Southern California hobo's at their finest..." Naruto ground out and glared while the man walked off.

"I'm half surprised you didn't try to go fight him." Sasuke said casually.

"No point. He's got enough issues to worry about. Besides, you wouldn't let me." Naruto said with a pout.

"Correct." Sasuke said taking his jacket and dress shirt off.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Naruto said with a growing smirk.

"You. Me. Naked. Me fucking you until I'm thoroughly spent and you are exhausted." Sasuke said in a low husky voice earning a light moan from his blonde.

Naruto unbuttoned his own pants and Sasuke gripped the two firm tan globes and pulled Naruto close to his body and connected their lips.
