A/N: This was a quickie I wrote in, like, ten minutes. But this idea was fluttering through my head after watching "Bride of Chucky". Yeah, um, my inspiration comes from some strange damn places. Enjoy?!


One-Shot #33

Sasuke had to admit it was a pretty good idea. They were old enough, in love, it all just made sense. And, it was a bonus that they were in the only town in the Fire Country that would do it.

"So?" The inquisitive eyes of his boyfriend were quite astonishing. He was nervous. He'd been nervous since he brought this subject up.

"Yeah, sure. Let's get married…" This received a relieved blonde shinobi jumping on him, tackling the raven-haired teen to the ground in one swift move. "Get up, Naruto, people are staring."

It wasn't a lie. This small village they were in only had a population of three-hundred, and Sasuke could have sworn all three-hundred were staring right at him. Naruto smiled sheepishly and began to climb back to his feet, helping Sasuke up along the way.

Once standing, Sasuke watched as a tan hand was held out, waiting for his pale one in return. Smiling, he grasped Naruto's hand in his and led the way to a small church at the end of the road.

The church was cute enough, like the typical establishment you would find in a tiny town. The monk standing inside was happy enough to assist them, smiling warmly.

"What can I help you fine young shinobi with?" The monk asked.

"Well, um…" Naruto started, but was interrupted by Sasuke.

"We want to get married, and we heard your village will perform same-sex marriages." Typical Sasuke; short, sweet, and to the point.

"Ah, a marriage." The monk stated, tee-peeing his fingers in front of him to rest his chin on. "First off, and this is standard procedure for any marriage I perform, I would like to understand a little more about you two. Like, for instance, how long have you been together?"

"Three years!" Naruto exclaimed happily, his smile beaming in the small room. Sasuke nodded in agreement.

"Three years? How old are you two?"

"Nineteen." Sasuke's cool voice answered.

"Ah, young love." The monk smiled.

The monk asked them several more questions, never diving in too personal, but just enough to see what kind of a relationship the two shinobi had. Once deeming it satisfactory to his standards, he led the two into the main ceremonial hall.

"Before we get started, would you like to gather any witnesses?"

"Witnesses?" Naruto asked, confused.

"People who will see the ceremony, Naruto." Sasuke said, offhand. He was, by now, quite used to answering some of Naruto's more annoying questions.

"Ah…what about Sakura and Kakashi?" Sasuke's eyebrow arched up slightly at Naruto's question.

"Yeah, they'll work."

Naruto put his hands in front of his body and created a shadow clone. The clone rushed off to find their witnesses and bring them back there.

As they waited for the clone to return, the monk excused himself, stating he needed to get his supplies. During which time, Naruto began to fidget and glance nervously at Sasuke, who was just looking around at the architecture of the small church.

When he finally caught Naruto's nervous glances, he asked, "What's wrong, Naruto? You backing out of this on me?"

"No, Sasuke, never. I just…um…I just wanted to make sure you wanted this, too. As much as I want this, I mean. I don't want to force you into this." The rambling was proof enough to show Sasuke just how nervous his boyfriend was.

"I had already planned on spending the rest of my life with you, Naruto. This just makes everything official." This made Naruto stop fidgeting and smile brightly. "I love you, idiot."

"I love you, too, bastard!" Naruto wrapped his arms around Sasuke's neck and kissed him lightly.

"Aw, aren't you two so adorable?" The two turned around to see Sakura standing next to Naruto's clone, and Kakashi standing not far behind them.

Naruto released his clone and smiled at his friends. "Glad you two could make it."

When the monk returned, his was holding two silver rings in his hand. "These are nothing special, you can always buy new ones, they are just to make it more official…traditional." Sasuke nodded his approval and smiled at Naruto.

As the ceremony commenced, Sakura allowed several tears to escape her green eyes. Kakashi, smirking under his mask, put his hand on Sakura's shoulder. She looked over at him, then back at the couple in front of her and smiled, pride and happiness swelling inside her for her two best friends.

Watching as they were pronounced partners for life, she clapped and cheered. And, upon watching them share their first kiss as official partners, she thought to herself, "If I was going to lose Sasuke to anyone, Naruto, it would definitely be you."


Well, what'cha think? I'm not sure what they call gay couples who marry, so I called them "life partners"... if I'm wrong and you know, please correct me.
And the little bit at the end, Sakura probably still has a thing for Sasuke, even if she tries to deny it. I mean, come on, we've all seen 15-year old Sasuke, and he's f-ing SEXY! Hell, 12-year old Sasuke was sexy... okay, change of subject.

Oh, btw, I downloaded a large number of drabble prompts, I'm going to start trying to write from them. So, look for those to be posted soon. XD Love ya all!
