What is...love?

The Do's

Chapter Nineteen: The Do's

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

The moment they arrived to the wedding venue (or the stunning historic mansion Naruto adored) the couple were separated, much to their dismay. They were warned ahead of time that it would happen, but it didn't make the separation any easier. They shared one last kiss before they were swept away to their chambers.

Naruto was shown his chamber for the night, which was the same one that he would be getting ready in. He hadn't been allowed to walk through the whole venue. They all insisted for him to just relax. He'd already picked everything he wanted and now it was in Orochimaru's (and their families') hands. Everyone else was invited to see it, which had made him pout. It was already later in the night so there wasn't really anything left to do for him except to sleep.

But sleep –

Naruto hadn't been able to sleep at all. It was well past 3 AM. He felt sick with nerves and a pleasant mixture of disbelief thrown in there. The omega kept tossing and turning on the bed. It wasn't the same without Sasuke sleeping next to him. The room didn't smell like him and he missed the alpha so much.

Directly after the reception, they were leaving for their honeymoon and Naruto was anxious about that too. Well... the sex. He'd let Ino talk him into some intimate clothes they'd seen. He still didn't feel confident enough to wear the whole damn outfit, but he bought some of it. It was all packed neatly in his suitcase, hidden just in case he didn't have the courage in the end to wear them.

This was really happening. He was going to get married and bonded.

The blonde stood up and opened the window, letting the cold breeze hit him and the moonlight spill into his room.

He'd been offered to be kept company if he wanted it, but he felt he needed this time by himself, to reflect on everything.

Time to remember how it all begun. Seeing him with Karin on his lap and the fucking video. How all these fucking people had touched Sasuke and had seen his face drowning in pleasure. He felt the wood under his fingertips, remembering the way Sasuke told the whole place how he was single. The alpha was so used to getting what he wanted. He'd come off as such a... douche. Naruto had been sure the alpha would move on to the next one. He pulled and pulled away.

But the alpha kept trying again and again.

The times Sasuke had cooked for him, with love. Showing up at his house when he was in emotional pain. Listening to his past and seeing Neji. How much Sasuke doted on him and supported him in his goals and everything. He watched the diamond shine in the moonlight, remembering how he was proposed to.

How loved and wanted the alpha made him feel.

He hadn't realized there were tears on his face until they hit the windowsill.

A part of him was terrified of the future. A future with arguments, because every couple fought. A future that would have babies. A future with happiness.

The omega let out a sigh and closed the window, finally feeling sleepy. Who would've known all he needed was to cry?

Sasuke didn't sleep a minute and he probably looked like it. When he was getting ready it was decided that he needed some concealer under his eyes to cover the dark circles from the insomnia.
