Warnings: shonen-ai, several refences to gay smexors, Kankurou-kun's bad mouth... ALso, roller-coaster-ness.
Discalimer: no one here is mine... just the 'plot'. XD
Kankurou woke abruptly, in a cold sweat, panting. He shuddered, looking over to Kiba's peacefully sleeping form beside him. Thank god… He reached over and grabbed Kiba's hand which lay over his hip. He squeezed and lay back down, wrapping his arm around Kiba's body and tucking his nose into the crook of Kiba's neck and shoulder, breathing in his heady scent pleasantly. Thank god… he'd had the worst nightmare… He'd have to tell Kiba about it later… Or maybe not… For Kiba to die… that was terrifying…
He laid a soft kiss and went back to sleep after a look at the clock – he just had an hour or so till they had to wake up and get ready, but that was alright. Big day today… He grinned and went back to sleep, already dreaming about the two of them years later…
Kiba stretched languidly and shook Kankurou's shoulder. "Wake-up, puppet-boy!" he said, smiling. He was far too cheery this early in the morning Kankurou noted glumly, rubbing sleep from his eyes with a grandiose yawn.
"I had the most horrible nightmare, Kiba… We were on a mission and you got killed…" He said slowly.
Kiba looked concerned. "Really? I dreamed that too…. Creepy!" he said, shuddering.
Kankurou nodded, "Yeah… but then I woke up and saw you there so… I tell you what, though, if you'd been gone 'cuz you were off using the bathroom or something, though, I probably would have had a heart attack…"
Kiba snorted. "Yeah, If I'd woken up and been gone, I probably would have too…"
Kankurou rolled his eyes. "You're a dumbass, dog-boy."
Kiba pounced on him. "Yeah, but I'm your dumbass!" he said with an impish grin, leaning down to give Kankurou a very involved good-morning kiss.
Kankurou responded fervently but added after Kiba pulled away, "Damnit, brush your teeth first! God you have awful morning breath!" he moaned.
Kiba rolled his eyes. "You didn't seem to have a problem with it while my tongue was in your mouth…" he said.
"Yeah, well do I ever have a problem with that?" Kankurou asked, grinning.
Kiba beamed. "Nope! And that's the way I like it!"
"Yeah, and I'd like it if you'd get off me so we could start getting ready!" Kankurou said, pushing Kiba off.
"Aww, can't we have a quick little romp before we get all dressed up?" Kiba asked, flashing Kankurou a pair of irresistible puppy-dog eyes.
"C'mere, you dumb bitch…" Kankurou sighed, tugging Kiba down. "Heel!"
Kiba snickered and Akamaru decided to leave the room. They were too noisy for his delicate ears. After they finished in the bedroom it was clear they needed a shower, so they decided to take it together and things went predictably… And Kankurou had to admit he appreciated the fact that his dog-boy was certainly an animal… God, he had the best fuckin' tongue!
Somehow or another, though, they eventually got dressed and Kankurou successfully fended off Kiba with the promise of "After the ceremony!"
Kiba had rolled his eyes and capitulated, "Oh fine… I'm sorry, I'm just so excited!"
Kankurou had smiled. "Me too…" he said, giving Kiba a chaste kiss. "Now hold still…" he said, looking Kiba over. Dog-boy cleaned up real nice… Kankurou straightened out Kiba's collar and commented, "You look good in a tux…"
Kiba grinned, "You too! Good enough to take it off!"
"Later," Kankurou said firmly. "Not that I'm not interested…" he added. "But if we keep this up we won't ever get out of the house, and then what will everyone else do at a wedding with no… uh, grooms?"
Kiba snickered. Kankurou was still a bit awkward about the whole marriage thing. Kiba knew it wasn't because Kankurou wasn't interested in him; he was just a bit flinchy about a couple things – the whole 'no wife' bit and he was having a bit of trouble getting used to the idea of married, too… But he'd get over it, they'd been together long enough that Kankurou knew they would stay together so it was the next logical step. "Well, let's go and get this over with, right?"
"Yeah! C'mon, Akamaru!" Kiba said, waving his lion-sized dog over.
The ceremony was practiced and went off without much of a hitch, although the priest stumbled a few times, using 'bride', 'wife', 'woman' and the like out of habit, but luckily catching himself before he ever fully uttered any of the words. Because Kankurou would have been uncomfortable walking the aisle Kiba took the bride's position with a care-free grin, and was handed off by his mom, who seemed rather amused but pleased as well. She knew those crazy boys would get along great together.
It was at the reception that things got interesting…
Kankurou carried Kiba in, and Kiba had thrown on a massive white skirt over his tux. He also had a veil on, thrown back, of course, and the two snickered as they shared their first (and likely last, since neither of them cared for it…) dance together as a married couple. The guests tried not to laugh as Kiba tripped over the layers of tulle and fell into Kankurou's arms.
Afterwards, Kankurou got to remove and throw the garter, which (to everyone's relief) had simply been slipped on over Kiba's pants. Sakura-chan was able to catch that, though she looked slightly uneasy – but most people would after catching a man's women's underwear… Naruto promptly scotched over to her and grinned. Then, Kiba transferred the veil and a bouquet to Kankurou, so Kankurou got to throw that as well. This time Temari caught it and roped Shikamaru, who blushed and made noncommittal noises.
Congratulations poured in and blurred together throughout the evening. The party lasted late, when Kankurou and Kiba left to celebrate in a more private setting, since a honeymoon was a bit out of the question, considering they were important, skilled shinobi.
Kankurou slid his fingers lazily over Kiba's bicep. "I love you…" he muttered, admiring Kiba's tired, happy face and the new, plain gold rings they both wore..
Kiba grinned. "heh… I think that's the first time you've come right out and said it like that… I guess marriage was good for something then, right?" he chuckled.
Kankurou blushed faintly and playfully nudge-punched Kiba's shoulder. "Shut-up, dog-boy!"
"mmm… Call me Kiba, Kankurou-kun…" Kiba murmured into Kankurou's chest, reaching up to run his fingers through the hair at the nape of Kankurou's neck, causing his puppeteer to shudder a little.
"Sure… Kiba…"
"Hey… Kankurou-kun, you have a family name now! One you can take with pride, right?" Kiba said, grinning a little.
Kankurou thought…. "Inuzuka Kankurou… I suppose it could be worse…" he chuckled. "But maybe you should just drop yours like me, huh?"
"Nah… My family's way too cool… Besides, I'm dog-boy… I can't drop 'Inuzuka' from my name…" Kiba mused, his eyes sliding shut sleepily.
"I guess that's true… I'll take Inuzuka then…"
