Three days had past and still Obito lazed about, no where to be found. Kakashi searched the house finding Obito in the most obvious place.
His room fast asleep in his futon.
"Mmmm..." Kakashi never knew why Obito was lazy. Was it just cold feet?Even still, Kakashi had to ask his Grandfather for answers. The old man rambled on about the weather until finally mentioning Obito would rush home to sleep without saying a word to anyone and by the time that Kakashi returned from wedding preparations Obito always had just the right amount of chakra to stay alive.
Kakashi rested his hand on his chin and mused if his soon-to-be life partner had gotten even more lazier, but now he knew why Obito never seemed to get any stronger.
"Obito," Kakashi finally said after three days of sharing a joint room, a night before the wedding, "do you even care?"
Not that Kakashi, himself, cared, but Obito made things so blazingly regretful that Kakashi almost wished he had inhaled his words to not have wasted his breath. It was so obvious that Kakashi was the male bride, and Obito just dozed around no caring.
"That's what an arranged marriage is, Kakashi."
The reponse from the young groom left Hatake Kakashi speechless.
'So,' Kakashi thought to himself, 'he never had a choice. And marrying him was just my choice. Well, this is quite a well dug hole.'
"I've known I would be married off since I could think, I'm not some girl. I'm tired, so go away Kakashi." Obito moaned, turning his back to the unmasked boy. 'I'd never thought I'd build up an immunity to Kakashi's face,' Obito thought, but he noticed that he was losing weight from the "training" he was putting in and was somewhat proud of himself.
He didn't even glance at Kakashi, he was almost sick of seeing his face after all his "training" if Kakashi wasn't such good "fodder." And Kakashi was such a great guy, helping out with the wedding at all. Rin was avoiding the lacklustre Uchiha too, she didn't even offer a hand but it's not like she would be allowed onto the Uchiha premises so freely. She could have asked though, this wedding business was too complicated. And how come Kakashi hadn't even asked him to help. 'Really, if I was marrying Kakashi it wouldn't be half bad. But I'd rather not, Rin would hate me tons and so would all the girls in this village.'
Kakashi had gotten out a spare futon and soon was lying awake, nervously awaiting the next day. He wouldn't get that much sleep either (three hours to be approximate), looking up at the ceiling.
Obito heard the shuffling in the bed, and could only smile. "Are you nervous for me?"
Kakashi had to bite his lip to keep from laughing, only to respond, "I'm tired, so go away."
Obito shook his head, "wish me luck, Kakashi..."
"Goodnight Kakashi."
"Obito," Kakashi opened his eyes, he couldn't just leave him out of the loop. Really, he was a guy too and he just never was invloved with a wedding until his own and here Obito was sleeping while Mikoto basically planned her dream wedding with Kakashi and Obito as props. "Obito, I need to talk to--"
"zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"

Chapter 8

"Obito, hurry up, you'll miss your own wedding! You're so hopeless!" Obito was honestly running as fast as he could, he just didn't want to trip on his feet. His cousins were rushing behind him, and as soon as they reached his sides they swooped him up and carried the poor groom by his elbows.
"I'm sorry, I thought it was at the Shrine!!!" Obito grit his teeth as both his cousins pinched him at once.
The groom was then hoisted higher because being carried higher in the mind of seventeen year olds mean traveling faster, Akira looked at the improperly dressed groom who was basically at his mercy. "You're an IDIOT!"
"What's going on?" Obito continued to ramble, even though he knew he usually and clearly was being ignored, "I thought this was a traditional wedding ceremony!"
"It isn't! The bride changed his mind!" Goro Uchiha hissed out, "or more like he really didn't have any control. Didn't you know that Mikoto was the wedding co-ordinator. Kakashi tried to stop her, but she's Fugaku's wife."
"What?" Obito kicked his legs trying to run away from the chapel in front of his eyes, he didn't want to go there at all! After the clumsy Uchiha had gone all out on his traditional grooms clothing for a Japanese style wedding. "That's a church!!"
"It's Western Style! Didn't you know?" Came the other cousin.
"WHAT?! What for?" Then it came to him, cold feet. Obito didn't want to get married at all now! All that training and he would look like an idiot before it all began.
"The bride said the groom didn't care, did you care?" Akira corrected Obito's behaviour with another pinch. Obito didn't deserve Kakashi, was the look that both boys silently though as the neared the chapel doors and ran around to the back.
Obito was the only person in the area wearing Japanese style clothing.
If he could pull this off, maybe he would get back to being the town fool rather than reject.
And no one had seen the bride yet, but everyone in the Uchiha family was dressed in Western clothing. "Anyway, there's no time to change!! I think the Uchiha women went overboard on this one."
"UGH!! Why didn't Kakashi stop him!" His mother was shooting daggers at him for being late to his own wedding, but there was no time, the guests were starting to fill the church. "Oh no, I'm all dressed up wrong! How do I wear this... I'm going to look like an idiot!"
The pair held open the back door of the church and waited for it to close to respond.
"You are an idiot, Obito." Both Akira and Goro stared at the closed door with jealous eyes, wondering why Fugaku didn't arrange for Kakashi to wed them rather then their useless cousin. And most of the Uchiha men would soon grow to find the feeling was mutual.

'And after all that training,' Obito ran through the narrow halls, dodging those who tried to flag him down.
"What happened? I heard you were at the shrine." Keiko and most of the Uchiha men were searching for the wayward groom and hoping he wasn't stealing a peek on his wife-to-be as it was bad luck.
The fat and chubby Uchiha woman shuffled over to her only son in oversized dress violet and heavy make-up. Obito looked terrible, and he was putting on those horrid goggles, as a mother-in-law to a wonderful boy, she had to put her foot down. Keiko reached her hands out to Obito's glasses to remove it, "to think you didn't listen to Kakashi, you're hopele--"
"MOM!" Obito brushed off his mother's fussing hands, his goggles intact. "I don't need to be... I just want to get married!"
"OBITO!" Keiko watched as Obito entered door to the room full of people waiting in the pews and the room fell silent.
Obito was already fifteen minutes late.
Obito climbed those stairs of destiny and turned to face the crowd of judgement with bravery and peace of mind, in his formal Japanese clothes, in a church full of important diplomats, as himself.
Tsunade tried to reach Obito's eyes to give him comfort, but he was firmly in his own world and refused to be unrooted.
The way he stood made the guest shift uncomfortably in their seats.
Yosubato slapped his forehead, "poor Obito."
But looking back at his pupil, he had never seen Obito more confident and strong in his life.
The organ started up, some wedding song that Obito ignored.
Everyone looked to the doors that swept open and in came the best man...
Obito's eye twitched.
The "best man" someone he didn't even know. But that guy looked familiar. With his stupid bowl haircut, he gave a thumbs up to the groom and was hurt when Obito remain apathetic and didn't even spare him a glance.
Then the bridesmaids came down in that blue colour that reminded him of someone and Itachi (the ring bearer) and one of his nieces as the flower girl.
Really, the entire bridal party was inconsequential.
"I'm a really bad groom aren't I?"
Gai looked at the man in question, "probably."
Obito smirked. "Thanks."
Some best man he turned out to be.
Obito was just waiting in darkness for the sound to return in a crescendo, until "Here comes the bride" was pounded into the keys of the organs instead of that drone tune from before. The groom spotted Rin in the crowds, and he saw her rise, he hands rising to her mouth to stifle a scream.
Obit's heart leapt to life like a hare in spring.
He didn't even notice his father beside the bride.
The bride was a Japanese bride, all in white. Everything, the wedding, the world seemed to fall in place at the moment. The hues of the brides maids and the flowers or white and the dresses in that odd shade of hue that could only match with his skin.
The hairstyle that the bride was sporting was obviously a wig, but the odd colour of white on white with that sliver of blue sent tingles down Obito's spine.
Obito ignored the sobs of loss that was coming from the female population.
He ignored to murmurs of the crowds.
He ignored everyone else but Kakashi in that span of time that seemed like an eternity for his bride to reach himself.
"You're hopeless," Kakashi mouthed.
Obito opened his mouth, "No, Kakashi."
Obito locked eyes with Kakashi, who fell stunned to his fiance's firmness. "You don't understand."
