I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Chapter 1

He was shuffling through the pictures on his laptop, the pure happiness radiating off of the bride and groom's faces was enough to let him relive the memory. It was like he went to the wedding twice in that same day. It was only somewhere near five and the reception didn't start until about eight so he had plenty of time.

The snapshot of the newlywed's big kiss panned onto the screen right as the doorbell rang. Naruto paused, ruffling his blonde locks before rising to answer the door. When he saw who was standing there though, he felt his heart stop.

"Well, can I come in or are you just going to stare at me like that, moron?" Sasuke pestered, his black obsidian eyes burning into Naruto's memory.

"What-What are you doing here?" The blue-eyed boy stuttered, he could feel his heart beginning to race. A part of him begged to slam that door right into his face; the other part wanted to pull him into the bedroom. His conflicting emotions were going to give him a bloody migraine.

"Didn't you hear me after the ceremony? Kiba asked me to stop by and pick up the speeches for the reception." Sasuke lightly hit Naruto on his forehead, smirking as he let himself into the blonde's apartment.

The raven made his way down the hallway and into Naruto's little office set up, his eyes latching onto the computer screen. He was actually quite surprised, he hadn't seen some of Naruto's photo's for a few years now. He'd forgotten just how good the moron was.

"Here." Naruto shoved the mess of papers towards Sasuke, his desire to get him out of his apartment and as far away from his bed growing with every increasing second. To his utter dismay, the other man just stepped closer, setting the speeches down on the desk.

"We still have time you know..." Sasuke's arm snaked around Naruto's waist, the blonde not resisting the closeness, but turning his eyes from those dark pupils.

"You should leave..." he tried, but Sasuke could hear the boy's voice shaking, his heart was racing.

"Are you sure you want me to go?" Sasuke played with those beautiful golden locks, his lips trailing that tanned neck.

"Sasuke..." The sound was breathless, Naruto couldn't handle the familiar feeling. Bright blue eyes locked with those never-ending black orbs.

"Kiss me, Naruto." Sasuke whispered.

Naruto's eyes fluttered open at the sound of his phone screaming, the light reflecting off of the ceiling. He reached his arm to the other end of the bed to grab it, realization hitting him when there was a full muscled body laying there in his bed.

Flustered, he quickly answered the device. "Hello?"

"Naruto! Thank goodness you answered, Sasuke's phone is off. We need those speeches, are you on your way here?" It was Kiba. Panicked, blue eyes darted to the clock on the wall. It was 7:43.

"Uh, yeah! I was just about to head over! I'll see you guys in about ten minutes!" Naruto jumped out of bed, running into his closet to find some clothing since he had no idea where they had thrown anything during the moment into the bedroom.

"Alright, great. Did Sasuke stop by at all?" The blonde froze, his boxers only half pulled on. Should he lie? The guy was laying in his bed naked right now, he honestly didn't know what to say. Hanging up the phone was definitely out of the question, then again...

"Hm? What was that? I can't quite hear you. You know what, ask me when I get there I don't want to be late. See you soon!" He ended the call before Kiba could reply. A sigh of relief escaped his lips as he continued to dress himself. After he put on his dress pants, Naruto threw his phone at the bastard laying there so bloody peacefully.

Sasuke jerked at the sudden impact, twisting around in the sheets until he fell face first into the bedroom floor. A death glare was directed in the direction of the closet.

"What the hell was that for?" The raven asked, getting up with the sheet wrapped around his bottom half.

"Get dressed bastard, we're going to be late for the reception!" Naruto was dashing to seem presentable, it was almost a comical sight to witness. Sasuke leaned up against the door frame, a smirk painted on his lips.

"You're too stressed moron. We'll be on time." He walked towards the bathroom, searching the room for his clothes as her went. "I'm going to need to borrow some clothes alright?"

"Only if you HURRY THE FUCK UP." Naruto pelted an outfit at the bastard as he ran into the bathroom. His blonde hair was ruffled, sticking up awkwardly in every single direction. Sasuke couldn't help but laugh at the flustered blonde besides him. The messy hairstyle was fitting, sexy almost. He leaned over and kissed him again. Naruto kissed back, leaning his forehead against Sasuke's for a second before walking out of the room.

"I'm going to stay the night, just so you know." Sasuke said as Naruto walked out.

By some miracle they made it to the reception with five minutes to spare. Hinata looked radiant, Naruto figured Kiba hadn't informed her of the missing speeches. And speaking of Kiba, he was frantically making his way over to the two.

"Naruto! Thank goodness you're here, do you have the speeches, are they good? Do I look alright? Her parents seemed happy at the wedding right? I couldn't really tell, I mean her dad and his bloody straight expression all the time. Do you think I'm doing the right thing? I mean I love her and-" Kiba's face was filled with excitement and confusion, but love nonetheless.

"Calm yourself dear. Everything's fine," Naruto put the speeches in the flustered groom's hand, smiling his warmhearted smile, "So go be with your woman."

Kiba let out a little laugh, shooting a grin at the blonde before heading off to wrap his arms around his bride. Naruto stood there with Sasuke besides him for a while, not really sure what to do or say. His mind was still trying to wrap around what had just happened, and what was bound to happen again tonight. He didn't have a guest room, and even if he did Naruto was sure that would be the last place Sasuke would let himself stay.

"Do you want to go sit moron, or are we just going to stand here idiotically?" When Naruto didn't answer, Sasuke grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards one of the tables near the dance floor.

The reception hall was wonderfully decorated, Naruto knew he'd get some wonderful pictures. He figured the time he would spend snapping photos would give him some time to think over what exactly what was going on. There was something he didn't like about this whole ordeal, the fact that Sasuke was inserting himself back into his life as though nothing had happened, as though they didn't have a past.

"Attention everyone, would you all please take your seats?" Hinata's voice echoed throughout the speakers, everyone's view now on the beautiful bride. Naruto held his camera up, ready to snap a few perfect moments. She made her speech, talking to her parents, her cousin Neji, other select friends. And then she made her way to Naruto.

"Now Naruto. Everyone see that cute little blonde boy with the camera in his hands? Yeah, that boy right there is the one who I love eternally. He's my best friend, and I'd do anything to see him happy. He was my shoulder to cry on growing up, he was the first one I told when Kiba proposed." She turned for a moment to smile at her husband. "I honestly don't know what I'd do without him. Naruto, I love you for being the brother I always needed. Thank you for always being there for me, I swear I'll never leave your side. I hope when you're standing up here making speeches, you feel the same way about me."

Naruto smiled at her, mouthing the words I love you, wiping away the tears that were streaming down his cheeks. Out of the corner of his eyes he could have sworn he saw Sasuke's lips curve into a smile, but dispatched it back to his stoic expression in the same moment he realized his mask broke.

The remainder of the night was wonderful, lively. Everyone was having a fantastic time, laughing, dancing, smiling. Naruto was able to get some terrific shots, especially of the bride and groom. He intended to put together a scrap book for them, also filing the pictures onto a CD so they'd have it forever. The blonde had the perfect frame for their kiss at the altar.

Naruto had been so deep in thought about his photography and how he planned on putting everything together that he didn't even register when Sasuke wrapped his arms around his waist. It was only when the raven's breath snaked down his neck that reality sank in.

"Let's head out. I think you've got enough photo's to capture the drunkenness of these idiots." Sasuke was more than ready to leave, he wanted the moron to himself. There was a limit to how much longer he could hold out in this mob of people.

"Uhm, let me just say goodbye to Hinata." Naruto pulled away from the other man's embrace, his mind still in a haze from the cologne.

The bride was somewhere near the front of the mass of bodies, it took a little while before he located her extensive length of blue-tinted hair. He touched her shoulder, her eyes brightening when she realized who it was.

"Naruto!" Hinata wrapped her arms around the blonde. "I'm so happy, like I can't even explain to you right now. AHHH!" She squealed that happy girl squeal that he'd come to expect from her spouts of excitement.

"I'm glad to see you so happy, you deserve this. You deserve your happiness. I just came over to tell you I'd be heading out for the night, Sasuke and I-"

"Sasuke? Like, Sasuke Uchiha?" Her eyes widened in bewilderment.

"Well...yeah...he's staying the night and I..." Naruto didn't know how to state it, he was sure it was obvious enough what they'd be doing. But he knew well enough that Hinata wasn't going to be too happy for much longer.

"Are you sure about this Naruto? It's been a few years, and I still don't trust the son of a bitch." Naruto couldn't help but laugh at her cursing, it was so unnatural and misplaced. She was too innocent and sweet to let such profanities leave her lips.

"I don't know. I'll be careful, I promise." He kissed her forehead and ran off into the crowd before she could object again. There was the feeling sitting in the pit of his stomach telling him that this was a risk he shouldn't be willing to take, but he was going to do it anyways.

Sasuke was standing by the door holding Naruto's jacket. "Ready?"

"Yeah, let's go."
