I never thought this day would come...

Standing slowly above the heads at tables, his body lifting gently, blue eyes meeting onyx. He was greeted with a nod, making him swallow down the nerves. His bandaged hand grabs his drink cup, the smell of sake swirling as he looked around, before grabbing his spoon, chiming against the glass.

"Oi! Oi!"

Ding ding ding

It wasn't a large crowd, more of an intimate setting. Blue eyes took in formal shirts, and swirling skirts before clearing his throat. The type of clothing you would expect at such an occasion.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please?"

One thing that Naruto Uzumaki had learned throughout the years was how to command a crowd. Years ago, before he graced the seat as the current Hokage, speaking to those before him had been a bit nerve wrecking.

Naruto didn't consider himself a man of grace, but what he lacked in grace, he made up with passion. Naruto found that if he focused on what was important to him, if he spoke from the heart. He found himself being able to speak with a profoundness that he knew would make his father, and all previous Hokage's proud.

"I would like to propose a toast. Today, we got to witness love, a long lasting love, that is now forming into a life long commitment."

Today is a wonderful occasion.

"Everyone knows how I feel about this bastard, right here." Naruto knew that once he spoke those words, he would get a few chuckles. He paused, his smile wide with his crystal glass in his hands raised high in merriment, he even pointed with his thumb on his opposite hand for good measure. His blue eyes not taking in the laughter of those around him, but taking in his eyes, one of the most notorious ninja in all the land. His best friend. The reason he stood before the crowd on today.

"Sasuke Uchiha, the last Uchiha they called him, but me- I simply call him my best friend."

Naruto saw the usual blank expression transform softly.

Most wouldn't notice the change, but Naruto noticed everything when it comes to his best friend. He noticed how his one dark eye and his purple swirling rinnegan eye grew from disinterest to light. Naruto noticed how the corners of his best friends lips shifted slightly at the crease giving a small smile. Naruto noticed how his body shifted slightly, barely a centimeter towards Naruto, with a slight familiar and comfortable lean.
