A/N: I decided to combine what I was gonna do as two chapters into one. Since they were both kinda small.
The wedding wasn't big. Really it could hardly be called a wedding. Sasuke was lying in the hospital bed still, Hinata was dressed in her everyday clothes and the only other people there was Neji, Hanabi, Hiashi, and the Hokage. It really was just signing of the marriage lincense and they did exchange rings. But since the marriage was under the radar they wore them on chains around their necks which were easily covered by their clothes. Lastly they did exchange a brief kiss. Brief due to the fact that before Sasuke could further it Hinata pulled away. Everyone left the room after leaving the newlyweds to speak to one another.
"Tsunade-sama said you only have a few more days of recovery." Hinata commented her eyes focusing on her fingers at she fidgeted.
"I can't go home. She's forcing me to stay with someone for a few months to keep an eye on me." Sasuke groaned leaning back against the pillows, his eyes focused on her fingers.
"How long?" Hinata asked simply.
"Until she can trust me." Sasuke scowled at the thought, but he heard his new wife giggle. "Amused?" He questioned raising a brow to her finding humor.
"Kinda of." She continued to smile looking up at his eyes. "You do know it might take years for that." She stated.
"Don't look so happy. You are a very possible candidate for my housing." It was his turn to smile...or in his case smirk as the realization hit her. "Plus orders from the Hokage are a perfect excuse to explain living together." He reached out taking her left hand. He ran his thumb across her empty ring finger feeling mild regret in argreeing to her 'secret marriage'. "How long are we keeping this a secret?"
"I don't know." She looked down at their hands not sure of the reason for the tingling sensation running through her nerves.
"It'll come out at some point whether either us want it or not." He said.
"How about when Sakura isn't in love you anymore?" She suggested, not meaning it as a joke but low chuckle from Sasuke told her otherwise.
"So I shouldn't hold my breath." He answered with some amusement in his tone as he concentrated on the feel on her hand.
"Sasuke, it is late." Hinata sighed or yawned, even she was not entirely sure at the moment as her eyes just wanted to close.
"That would be your fault since because you decided to keep this a secret we had to do this at 2 in the morning." He said interlocking their fingers he studied the connection with deep interest.
"Not entirely, since you insisted we marry as soon as possible." She argued back some, but she was getting too tired to focus on anything, but the feel of his hand.
"Only fair. I did agree to keep this a secret for now." He looked to her face seeing her eyes beginning to close and dart open. "If you're that tired then you could join me." He invited. He smirked in amusement as she gained full attention giving a 'deer in the headlights' look to him for his bold statement. He could notice the light pinking to her pale cheeks. "Joking."
"I didn't know avengers could joke." She smiled to herself some at her own light joke and could see the small twitch to Sasuke's lips of a hinted smile before remaining at his natural smug smirk.
"Cute."
"Isn't that why you married me?"
"Only partly." Sasuke lifted her hand giving a kiss to her palm.
Hinata found herself become more awake with his words, rather than actions. "Why did you?" She asked in all curiosity.
"I'll tell you..." Sasuke paused causing Hinata move to the end of the seat. "When the time is right." He kissed her palm again.
Hinata slumped in the seat. She could feel the smirk of his lips as they passed over her rough palms. She wondered briefly why he showed so much attention to her hands, but passed it off deciding that at least he was kissing her hand and not other more sensitive parts of her body. "I have to go." She stood from her seat and attempt to pull her hand away, but his grip got slightly tighter. It was not enough to hurt her, but enough to make her stay. "What?" She asked hoping she did not sound too annoyed due to her tired nature.
"Kiss me."
Once again she became alert. Her eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She did not bother to ask if he was serious since she could already tell he was from the unwavering look in his eyes and the fact that his smirk was gone. "Can I go home then?" She asked.
"Either that or you can sleep next to me."
"I thought you were joking about that?" She asked.
"Now I'm not." He countered.
Hinata sighed and did not bother hiding the roll of her eyes. "I'd rather go sleep in my bed." She stated. She leaned down closer to him, closing her eyes as their lips collided.
It was suppose to short and chaste just like their wedding kiss, but this time she did not move fast enough. Sasuke's hand abandoned her own and came to the back of her neck pulling in further. His tongue entered her mouth when she let out a gasp. The feeling made her mind go numb, she didn't fight his tongue or his lips. All she did was try her best to supress the moan of pleasure from the senation.
When he finally pulled away she only blinked before rushing out the room and the hospital. Only focusing on getting back to her home. As soon as she made it inside she collapse against the door her knees giving way underneath her till she was planted on her floor. One of her hands gripped to her rapid beating heart while the other hovered over her lips.
Three days later, Hinata found herself once again in Sasuke's hospital room. They weren't alone in the room this time. All those of 9 genin from years ago, neji's group, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Gai were all in the room with Tsunade standing by Sasuke's bed.
"OK, you all can guess why we're here." Tsunade started.
"Not really...we brought him back what more is there to do?" Neji's voice was cold and so was his glare as he focused on his cousin-in-law.
"If you think I'm just gonna let him walk out of this building when he's finished recovering then you're delusional. You all can choose one of you, or maybe a few of you to have him stay with you. When I'm sure he won't go running off or killing anyone then he'll be free to be do as his black little heart desires." Tsunade explained.
"Why are all of us here then? Naruto and Sakura were his team." Kiba let out an exhausted yawn having been woken up to be dragged her by Shino he was not in the best of moods.
"Naruto was an option, but considering how well these two get along I'd say neither would survive past a week. Sakura is still able, but she can't be around due to her job here. Also Kakashi is able. So we'd need maybe one other person if any of you are available." She added.
"I'll do it." Hinata's small voice spoke up before she even realized it. All eyes turned on her, her eyes were wide and her mouth hung open in shock of her own words. She looked up at Sasuke who seemed just as shocked as everyone around them.
Hinata didn't speak as some people argued her offer. Tsunade shut them all up and threw everyone out of the room. Leaving her and Sasuke alone.
"Generous offer, Mrs. Uchiha." He joked with a smug smile.
She regained her composure quickly at the sound of his voice. "Drop it. Someone needed to volenteer and I doubt anyone else could handle you."
"And you think you can?" He eye brow raised as he watched her curiously.
"I am your wife." She stepped closer to the bed sitting in the familiar chair next to his bedside. She put a smirk on her lips as she looked at him. She didn't understand what made her confident around him.
"Yes, you are." His hand reached out and took hers. They looked at the touch curiously for a moment before breaking apart. His hand went to her tentatively. His finger looped the golden chain. He gently pulled till the ring was revealed. "You're actually wearing it."
"What would you have done if I wasn't?" She asked looking to his eyes that were clearly focused on the ring.
"Don't know." His eyes never left the ring as he played with it in his fingers. "Few more days and we'll have our first night living together."
Hinata could feel herself starting to blush at the idea as she realized her mistake in volunteering to babysit him. She pulled away causing him to lose hold of the ring. "I've got to go." She made her way out of the room before he had a chance to speak. She stepped out the door in a rush that she didn't even noticed the gold metal ring dangling on the gold chain out for the world to see.
A/N: OK, R&R you all know the drill.
