Graduation lasted a couple of hours. And despite waking up at five in the morning for it, Rin didn't feel tired at all.
Her fathers drove them, including Obito, to the stadium. The first hour was filled with speeches by the president of the school, several deans, and a guest speaker. Throughout the speeches, Rin and Obito stayed in contact via text. Considering the fact that they were majoring in different disciplines, they were seated in different parts of the stadium. But once the first part was over, they met up with their families and took pictures.
"Oh, don't they just look adorable!" Zayne said as he took a picture with Obito carrying Rin in his arms.
Madara chuckled at how love-stricken his grand-nephew looked. He remembered the conversation he had with him days ago, just as he was booking several expeditions for the trip.
"You're very serious about her…" Madara said casually from his chair.
"Yeah…" Obito said, laptop in front of him as he was typing in something.
"Are you going to marry her?"
That finally had his grand-nephew stopping and looking up, "I think it's too soon for that,"
"I never asked when," Madara said with a chuckle.
Obito smirked, "I meant to say that… it's too early for me to ask her that question,"
"Again, I never asked when…. You know, it doesn't take long for a man to know whether or not they want to marry a particular person. So… are you going to ask her to marry you?"
Obito rubbed the back of his neck, "Yes… In about two years…"
"To ask her or for the actual wedding?"
"Aren't you supposed to be doing something else?"
"I've never seen my grand-nephew this happy before, that's all,"
The families took turns taking pictures: Rin with the Uchihas, and Obito with Zayne and Robert. Kurenai, Shizune, Anko, and the rest of their friends joined in the pictures.
Afterwards, they each took separate campus buses and headed towards their dedicated stadium to receive their degree. That part of the ceremony lasted nearly two hours, as each student was called one by one. Many pictures and handshakes later, the large group met again and headed towards a luxurious French restaurant to celebrate. Zayne Nohara had booked the place a week in advance, knowing that other parents would want to do the same.
Rin and Obito sat next to each other on the twelve-seater table, with family members seated around them. For the next two hours, the conversation shifted from politics, to the job market, to traveling, and anything else that came to Robert Nohara's mind. There had been times when Zayne would pat his husband on the thigh, reminding him that he was becoming a bit too extroverted for the group.
After the two-hour lunch, Rin headed back to her home in order to prepare for Kurenai's bachelorette party.
Kurenai and Asuma had come up with the idea of a joint bachelor and bachelorette party. The evening would start with the two groups (females in one, males in the other) doing their own thing separately. And towards midnight, they would regroup at one of the most famous night clubs ever.
The nightclub was three-stories high, and also had a large rooftop balcony. At midnight, the group met at the club, immediately going to the booth area that Kakashi had reserved. A female bartender placed several glasses of tequila and whisky on their table.
Kurenai, who wore a tight white mini dress with a white and pink sash that said 'Bride To Be', sat next to Asuma, who wore jeans with a casual black shirt. Rin, Anko, Laiya, and Minha (the latter being Kurenai's relatives) wore matching outfits: beige mini dresses with pink heels. Shizune, who was not a bridesmaid but was still invited by the bride-to-be, wore a light blue blouse with black flowing skirt.
Kakashi, Gai, Yamato, and Aoba, who were Asuma's groomsmen, wore regular clothes. Obito, who was not a groomsman but Asuma had invited considering their now close friendship, was also present.
"To the future Mr. and Mrs. Kurenai!" screamed Anko, holding up a shot glass.
Everyone else held up their shot glasses, Asuma laughing at the new nickname, and seconds later they took their shots.
The music changed to something upbeat, and Anko quickly dragged a tired and tipsy Kakashi to the dance floor. Aoba, Laiya, Gai, Minha, Kurenai, and Asuma soon followed. Rin, who took her third shot of tequila, stood up from Obito's lap and grabbed his hand. The Uchiha chuckled while noticing how she swayed a bit side to side, the alcohol already taking effect. He himself was tipsy as well, but he tried his best not to get drunk. Despite being with friends, the back of Obito's mind replayed events from the past and how other males would try to approach his girlfriend. And considering the very short dress she wore, he knew that he had to be extra vigilant.
"Do you want to dance?" Yamato asked Shizune softly.
Shizune's body tensed a bit as the memory of Hidan asking her the same question many months ago crossed her mind.
"Um," she started, unsure of how to answer. Part of her wanted to, that way she could feel free and in control of her life. But another part replayed everything from when she dated Hidan.
"I think you should dance with him," Rin whispered to her, causing her to flinch.
Shizune looked at her friend briefly and nervously, "You think so?"
Rin nodded before grabbing her hand and dragging her towards a nervous looking Yamato.
"Now go dance!" a drunken Rin yelled at them, stumbling half-way through, "And you better take care of her!"
Yamato nodded before grabbing Shizune's hand and leading her to the dance floor.
Rin looked at them and sighed happily before turning to Obito, who gave her an amused look. "Shizune deserves happiness, and Yamato looks like the perfect match for her. Don't you think so?"
"He's not Hidan, that's for sure,"
"Fuck Hidan… Hope he rots in that cell!" said the drunken Rin before turning her attention to her boyfriend, who made little effort to hide the fact that he was checking her out, "Shall we dance?"
Three songs and eight shots of tequila later, Obito pulled Rin's skirt down a bit as she ground her hips seductively against him. The damn dress kept riding up every couple of seconds, showing the bottom of her ass. And it didn't help that she wore a thong underneath. Rin, being the tease she was, smirked and chuckled as she continued to dance on him. Mostly because she felt his erection through the fabric of his jeans.
"You're driving me crazy," he groaned into her ear, holding her steady against him with his hands cupping her ass.
"What if we do something…crazy?" she whispered back, and he raised an eyebrow.
He was about to ask what, but stopped when she cupped him over his jeans.
"We're in public," he told her, despite one of his hands sneaking into her dress and grabbing her near bare ass. He fought the urge to pull her thong aside and finger her.
"What if we go to the bathroom?"
Obito blinked for several moments before kissing her deeply. Rin moaned against his lips, her hands trailing the back of his neck. He squeezed her ass even harder, causing her to giggle and pull back.
"You are really hard to resist," he whispered loudly to her.
"And you're really hard,"
"And you're drunk,"
"And so are you,"
He chuckled at her statement, which was not wrong. He doubted anyone in the group was sober. With college finally over and a bright future ahead of them, why not get drunk? Why not celebrate everything that was good in life?
"Where should we go?" he asked her, trying his best not to get too hard. Luckily for him though, the lighting was low and there were people all over the place.
"Let's find a bathroom,"
They navigated through the crowd, Obito standing right behind her with their fingers intertwined. Rin peaked inside the women's bathroom and frowned: too crowded. The men's bathroom had a funky smell, and the janitor's closet was already locked. Rin pouted sadly. But then Obito leaned down from behind, whispering something into her ear that had her eyes widening with excitement.
"I have Kakashi's car keys…"
She turned around and nodded, and quickly the two rushed out of the club. The parking garage was adjacent to the nightclub, and stood three stories tall. Kakashi had parked on the very last floor.
Upon entering the parking garage, the drunk couple rushed inside the elevator. Obito quickly pressed on the '3' button before kissing her deeply. His erection grew, straining against his jeans. The idea of fucking her in the back of car thrilled him. And the alcohol in his system wasn't making it any easier to think clearly.
Luckily for them, Kakashi drove an SUV. Obito took out the car and pressed a button, unlocking the door. Rin opened the door to the back and got inside, Obito entering right afterwards. He closed and locked the doors. And suddenly their lips were met in a fiery kiss. Obito grabbed her by the waist and lifted her over his lap. Rin pulled the bottom of her dress up, revealing her thong, before grinding against his crotch.
"Fuck," Obito groaned, biting the right side of her neck.
Rin groaned as her thong moved to the side with her movements, the thick fabric of his jeans rubbing against her recently-waxed pussy. Obito undid the button of his jeans, lowering the zipper aftwards. He then grabbed his hardened cock and shifted it so it went through the fly of his boxers. Rin stared at the tip of his member before looking at him.
"Come sit on me," he told her, and she placed her hands on his shoulders while adjusting herself over him.
She moaned as his tip touched her entrance, and slowly she lowered herself onto him. Obito grunted while holding her hips. With his cock inside of her, Rin began to sway her hips. Due to the space constraint, she wasn't able to open her legs as wide. Which made accommodating his size a little harder. Obito lowered the top of her dress and bra a bit until her breasts were exposed, and he took one in his mouth while playing with the other. Rin moaned louder and increased her speed as she rode him. He trailed his kisses higher until his mouth reached her neck, and he nibbled against her sensitive skin as his thumbs caressed her perked nipples.
"Oh! Oh God!" she said, her mouth wide open and eyes shot.
Obito wrapped his arms around her and pulled her even closer, still focusing on nibbling her neck. He felt her tense a bit, and he lifted his head in order to whisper into her ear.
"You're close, aren't you?"
"Y-Yeah," she whispered.
Obito shifted to the side a bit in order to give him room to thrust his hips, driving his cock even deeper. Rin moaned loudly, her head nearly hitting the room of the car. Her breasts bounced quickly, and Obito grabbed one of them as their skins slapped loudly.
"Ugh," Obito groaned, grabbing her hair tightly and pulling her down for a kiss as he ejaculated into her. With his free hand, he rubbed her clitoris and she came seconds later, breathing heavily against his lips as her body trembled.
They stayed in the position for a minute, enjoying each other's presence. Rin was ready to close her eyes and sleep, but suddenly felt his semen trailing down her thigh. Her eyes widened and she sat up embarrassingly.
"I need a napkin," she said as Obito adjusted himself and finished buttoning his pants.
He looked around the vehicle, opening all compartments. Rin sat with her thighs pressed tightly while adjusting the top of her dress. She watched as Obito pulled a black face mask out of a box from the glove compartment.
"Use this," he said, and Rin grabbed it skeptically.
"It's the last one in the box… Won't he notice?"
Obito shrugged. "He can buy himself more masks,"
"OK," she said as she started to wipe her thighs and labia. She suddenly stopped upon noticing him looking at her. "Obito, turn around!"
He chuckled and looked away, watching her from the window's reflection. The idea of his semen all over her had his cock slightly stiff, but he controlled himself.
Rin opened the door and rushed to a trash can, throwing out the facemask. She turned around and immediately froze upon seeing Kakashi and Anko exiting the elevator. They were busy making out while heading towards the SUV, which made it easy for Rin to signal Obito about them. The Uchiha exited the vehicle swiftly and walked over to her. The couple hid behind a pillar and watched as Kakashi and Anko rushed to the SUV.
"Thank God I have a second key with me," Kakashi said as Anko nibbled his neck, "I had given a copy to Obito earlier today in case I was too drunk to drive,"
"Mmm, let's hope he doesn't show up and ruin our moment then," a drunken Anko said.
Kakashi unlocked the door, and the couple quickly got inside the back seat. Rin and Obito held their laughter upon hearing their friend's makeout session.
"Do you think they're going to go all the way?" she asked.
Obito turned his head to see, looking away immediately upon seeing Anko's bare back through the glass.
"Oh yeah…" he looked down at his girlfriend and held her hand, "Let's go grab something to eat. There's a pizza place across the street,"
Rin beamed at the idea, "Yes! I'm so hungry and my feet hurt in these shoes - OH!"
Obito picked her up bridal style, and Rin squealed while wrapping her arms around his neck.
Next Day…
Asuma and Kurenai's backyard wedding…
Rin: You gave me a very noticeable hickey last night…
Obito: Hmm… I can give you another one if you want
Rin: The hairstylist is standing over my shoulder, and probably read that! Also… she's pissed because now she has to apply extra foundation on my neck to hide the hickey
Obito: haha
One hour later…
Rin: My feet are killing me! I'm not used to wearing heels this long :( Are you at the house now?
Obito: Just parked. Want me to bring you anything?
Rin: No, it's OK. Luckily, this is a short wedding so it's not like I have to wear them the entire day.
Obito: I just walked in and Asuma's dad is already drunk and trying to have a conversation with the pastor.
Rin: Really? We haven't even started….
One hour later… Post wedding ceremony
"And now I pronounce you… husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride,"
The wedding guests clapped as Asuma and Kurenai kissed. Music began to play as the bridesmaids and groomsmen lined up and walked back inside the house, the newly husband and wife following them as confetti rained down on them. Rin, who was partnered with Gai, quickly glanced at Obito and flashed him a smile. He smiled back.
Twenty minutes later…
Obito: I couldn't keep my eyes off you…
Rin: Awww
Obito: You look very beautiful in that dress
Rin: Thank you! Kurenai made a great decision with the color and design of these dresses.
Obito: When are you coming back outside? I already saw Anko come out.
Rin: Soon! I am looking for a band aid. I think I am getting a blister behind my foot.
Obito: I can run to the pharmacy and buy a pack.
Rin: No need, Shizune just found one.
Obito: OK. Come down soon. I want to be with you.
Rin: I will :) Give me five minutes
Ten minutes later…
Obito: I'm going to look for you now.
Rin: Sorry! Kurenai's cousin won't stop talking and I don't have the heart to tell him to shut up.
Obito: Him?
Rin: Relax, he's fifteen. He's a nice kid and is just asking me how I'm doing.
Obito: That kid has other intentions… Anyway, I'm going to find you
Kurenai's fifteen year-old cousin stopped stuttering the moment Obito Uchiha walked inside the living room. The adult male narrowed his eyes at him before standing by Rin's side and giving her a kiss on the lips.
"Come outside. The reception is about to start,"
Rin nodded before turning to the shy teenager. "It was great meeting you!"
The male teenager waved slowly at her. "S-Sure…Yes, of course! By the way, can I have your num-" he stopped upon seeing Obito's facial expression, "N-Nevermind,"
Rin and Obito walked outside the house, his hand on her lower back.
The guests were dancing in the center of the backyard. Hiruzen, who was recovering from a hangover, sat in a corner as his wife danced with Asuma. Zayne and Robert Nohara danced together, as well as Kakashi and Anko. Rin watched as Yamato asked Shizune to dance, and the girl nodded her head before following him to the dance floor.
"Let's dance?" Rin asked Obito, who nodded and grabbed her hand as they made their way to the dance floor.
She placed one hand on his shoulder as he placed one on her hip, their other hands holding each other. They swayed slowly against the slow-rhythmic music. He leaned down until their foreheads met.
"I can't wait for our trip tomorrow," he said, staring into her honey brown eyes.
"Same. It'll be my first time outside of the country,"
He smiled before giving her a kiss. "I'm glad to be the first person giving you this experience,"
"You've been giving me lots of new experiences," she said with a smile.
"And there's more to come,"
They continued to dance for the rest of the evening, taking a few breaks to rest their feet or eat dinner.
The reception lasted until midnight. Asuma and Kurenai got inside a limousine with their suitcases stowed in the trunk. Their family and friends congratulated and waved as the long luxurious vehicle drove them away, the words 'Just Got Married' printed in white on the back.
Afterwards, Rin said goodbye to her fathers as she would be sleeping over at Obito's home in preparation for their two-week vacation.
"You better take good care of her!" a tipsy Zayne told Obito, who nodded.
"I will always take care of her," the Uchiha said proudly.
"And you have everything? Passports? Shoes? Socks? Panties? Pads?"
Rin rolled her eyes, "Yes, dad! Not so loud… You should go home, you're nearly drunk,"
Zayne giggled, "Well, this was a fun wedding. Hm, Robert. I guess we should go home. It's almost one in the morning!"
Robert nodded and hugged his daughter one more time before he and Zayne departed.
Obito led a very sleepy and tired Rin to his vehicle. He helped her get inside before getting behind the driver's seat and turning on the SUV. He glanced at his girlfriend and smiled as she took off her heels. Her eyes were half-opened and he knew that she would be asleep before he even reached home. She had been awake since four-thirty in the morning the previous day, helping Kurenai with last minute decorations and also getting her makeup and hair ready. In addition, she had been standing nearly the entire time considering the numerous pictures and videos taken.
Obito arrived home within forty minutes, and he parked the SUV right next to Madara's sedan. He turned off the engine and glanced at Rin, smiling upon seeing her asleep on the passenger seat. He exited the vehicle and walked over to the passenger side, opening the door and picking Rin up bridal style. She rested her head on his shoulder. He closed the passenger door with his foot and locked the vehicle before walking towards the house.
With Rin still sleeping on his arms, he entered his home and walked up the stairs. The door to his bedroom was unlocked, and he used his foot to open it. The suitcases for tomorrow's trip sat in a corner. He laid Rin on his bed, ready to wake her up. But she turned her back to him and continued to sleep, hugging one of his pillows.
He smiled softly and started to change into his pajamas. Yawning, he walked towards his bed and sat next to Rin.
"Rin,"
"Hm,"
"You need to change out of your dress,"
"Hm… Too tired,"
"Come, I'll help you,"
She sat up and lifted her arms up, allowing Obito to pull the dress over her head.
"This bra is killing me," she groaned, reaching behind and undoing the strapless garment.
Obito helped her put on one of his spare t-shirts, and then glanced at her hair. The hairstyle she wore consisted of a high bun with several curls running down the sides of her face. Rin took out two hairpins before yawning and lying back down on the bed.
"I think you should remove your makeup first,"
"My makeup remover is inside the duffel bag,"
He opened her duffel bag and took out a box that contained wipes. He took one and gently wiped her face and lips with it. Rin smiled as he continued to remove her makeup.
"Not many men do this for their loved ones…"
"I'm not like many men…" he told her with a smile, throwing out the makeup remover wipes. "Let's go to sleep now. We have to wake up in six hours for our flight,"
"I love you, Obito…"
"I love you too, Rin…"
One week later…
Shizune sighed tiredly as she finished cleaning the kitchen. Her bags were still packed from last night's move. Her parents and extended family had berated her for days upon finding out that she wanted to get her own place. Her mother had been the worse, accusing her of being a whore and threatening to cut her off if she moved out. Despite the negative comments, Shizune didn't care. She was already finished with school, Hidan was locked up for another couple of years, and her new job paid her well enough that she could afford her own apartment and expenses. And living alone allowed her to reflect on everything she had gone through the past year. Especially the abortion…. Overall, she wanted to forget about it all and start fresh.
She looked at her disassembled bed and sighed. She had yet to purchase a screwdriver and several hex keys in order to assemble all of her furniture.
"I'll do that later," she told herself, sitting down on her floor and opening her laptop. She opened up Facebook and scrolled through several posts.
The first post was from Asuma's profile. He and Kurenai were now living abroad and had recently purchased a small property for themselves. Shizune remembered Kurenai speaking about their plans of living abroad for a few years before starting a family. Shizune felt happy for the couple.
The second post was from Anko. Her and Kakashi finalized the purchase for their new bar, and their opening date would be in one week. Anko had already sent out invitations to everyone for their grand opening night, and Shizune ensured to save the date in her calendar.
The third post was from Rin. Her and Obito were still overseas on their vacation. Rin had posted several pictures of their vacation. One picture was them by the beach, Obito carrying her bridal style. The two of them had bright smiles on their faces. The second picture was similar, but this time they were kissing. The third picture, which was from Obito's profile but had Rin tagged in it, was taken in a beautiful restaurant. The picture was of Rin facing the camera with a beautiful smile while wearing a red spaghetti strap dress with black heels. A gorgeous diamond necklace wrapped around her neck, and she had matching diamond earrings. And right above the picture, Obito had written the following message: "To the love of my love… who I will forever cherish". Shizune smiled and pressed on the 'Like' button on the picture, feeling happy for the two of them.
There was a soft knock on her door, and Shizune stood up to open it. She glanced through the peephole and became surprised to find Yamato standing there with a white bag in his hand. She opened the door and smiled at him.
"Hi…"
"Hi," he said, smiling a bit shyly at her. "I hope I'm not interrupting anything,"
"You're not," Shizune replied, feeling a bit anxious. "I was just cleaning up. I moved in last night and… yeah, just cleaning up…"
"I brought you food," he said, holding up the bag, "Anko told me where you lived… I hope this is OK,"
"It's fine. Come on in,"
She opened the door for him and he walked inside, setting the food on her countertop.
"The plates are still packed in the box," she said nervously, "Sorry… Had I known, I would've unpacked them,"
"It's OK, we can eat from the container," he said while taking out the chopsticks.
They sat on the floor. Yamato opened the two white boxes, revealing noodles in one and some dumplings in another. They took turns eating, glancing at each other ever so often.
"Thank you for the food," Shizune said.
"It's no problem. I figured you were probably tired from moving and needed some food," he told her, putting his chopsticks down and turning to her.
Shizune smiled, feeling butterflies in her stomach. Yamato always made her feel happy and adored. Something Hidan had never done. "Well, you figured correctly. Thank you for thinking about me,"
"I'm always thinking about you,"
She dropped the dumpling from her chopsticks. Luckily, the food landed on the container and not the floor. She turned her head to him but kept still as he shifted closer to her, his face about an inch from hers. Shizune swore her heart was ready to pump out of her chest.
"Shizune, I've been thinking about you for a while now… weeks, I should say. And… I want to let you know that I like you… a lot… And I would like us…to be together,"
Shizune breathed fast, looking elsewhere. She bit her bottom lip while staring at the wall in front of her. "Yamato, you are a great guy. And any girl you date would be a lucky one… But I don't think I'm the right person for you,"
"Why?"
"Because…" she paused for a moment before deciding that it was best he knew everything about her. How she wouldn't be good enough for him, "My last relationship ended horribly. I ended up getting pregnant and had an abortion before I started showing. And even though it was for the best, I still feel horrible for it. My ex found out and… attacked me and Rin when she tried to defend me. He's locked up now but… Yamato… I'm damaged,"
"You're not," he said, eyebrows furrowing, "You're not damaged. And I think you should stop punishing yourself for the past. Shizune, I see how you disassociate yourself from your friends when we're together,"
"I'm lucky that they still consider me a friend," she said, her eyes tearing up. "I was a fucking bitch… I let Hidan manipulate me and…"
She sniffed, trying her best to control her tears. Anko, Kurenai, and Rin still treated her like a sister. Last night, Rin had left her a message congratulating her on getting her own place and that she couldn't wait to visit so they could have sleepovers, Anko had gifted her a wine bottle, and Kurenai (despite being in her honeymoon) had shipped her an expensive coffee machine.
Yamato shifted closer to her and placed an arm over her shoulders. She leaned against his shoulder and cried silently.
"Your friends have already forgiven you," he told her, rubbing her arm soothingly, "So I think it's time you forgive yourself,"
Shizune sniffed, "I-I don't think I can…"
"You can. You are a good person, Shizune. I've seen it with my own eyes. You have learned from your mistakes just like everyone else in this world does, and I think it's time you move on and let yourself be happy,"
She stayed silent as Yamato hugged her protectively. "And I'll be here to help you with that. I like you a lot, Shizune, and I want you to be happy,"
She looked up, her red teary eyes searching his. He looked down at her and wiped her tears away with his thumb. He leaned down and pressed a gentle kiss against her lips. He kept his lips pressed against hers for a couple of seconds before pulling back, watching her reaction. She blinked at him before smiling.
"Thank you, Yamato… You do make me…happy. I'm just scared of messing it all up…"
"We'll take it slow… one day at a time…"
"I like that," she said, wiping her tears away.
Yamato smiled before grabbing her chopsticks, grabbing a dumpling, and feeding it to her. Shizune giggled and opened her mouth, taking in the food. They ate happily before focusing on her disassembled furniture.
"I have a toolbox in my car, so I can assemble all of this for you" he told her, and Shizune nearly tackled him to the floor in happiness.
