The Waters Reflection

by Copperdaily

Born as a woman, Prince Naruto has lived his life as he wanted, but as he grows older, he knows that his perfect life will soon crumble. He is almost to a marrying age, and the Uchihas were already told they could have Naruto's hand once he became of age. Now that the Uchihas have come to claim their "bride," can Naruto deny them?

20. Chapter 20

The rest of the ceremony went by without much event, Sasuke greeted all that they were required to greet and Naruto eventually broke from his daze to greet some people as well.

They eventually came to the point where a dance was expected and Naruto felt his anxiety rise. The whole week they had practiced had come to this, he felt like he needed to focus and recite every step before they came to the center of the dance floor. But when he looked up he realized they were in the center of the crowd, everyone looking at them.

"Relax, dobe." Sasuke whispered as their bodies met. Naruto looked up into the black eyes and saw the playfulness behind the comment, almost a taunt. This brought the blonde completely out of his funk as his competitive nature began to take over.

"You should be the one worrying, I have been practicing all week." Naruto replied with a smirk, and then the music began. Naruto made sure that his steps were light and airy while still being purposeful and stable. Sasuke held him firmly and supported Naruto more than Hinata did which was different but Naruto felt pride in his dance, his practice had paid off.

When the music faded and multiple dances had been done Naruto was slightly winded but energized, feeling accomplished with overcoming the wedding as a whole.

As the pair began to walk off the dance floor Sasuke wrapped his arm around the blondes waist, leaning in to whisper "I think we can now leave and let the party conclude on its own."

This had the younger prince nerves come alive again. Of all the things expected out of a wedding he forgot the wedding night, with Itachi's previous work there would be no expectation of him being a virgin but there was still expectation of them coupling.

Naruto made it out of the hall with Sasuke before his steps faltered, the raven stabilizing him.

"I'm sorry I just-"

"Shh. Don't worry. I have a plan." the Uchiha whispered in the hall, the blonde looked up and saw the other mans focus and nodded. He had to trust his husband, show he did trust Sasuke and didn't expect him to act as Itachi had. But thinking it and doing it were two very different things.
