Naruto stared at the white tiles, shaking, almost hyperventilating. The tiles were a shinny white colour and Naruto meet his own eyes on the shiny reflection. He looked at himself also dressed in white and started re-stressing about today so he got up and started to look around for any form of distraction.
"Oh, look what pretty white curtains..."
Naruto started to concentrating on his breathing, he couldn't tell why was he so nervous? He known this day was coming for 12 months. Then why was he freaking out so much right now?
He started circling the room, admiring the beautiful features of the of the room. There was ancient Japanese scripture around the walls and photos of the shrine when it was constructed many years ago. Golden flower embellishments almost vined around the room, soft golden flowers dripping into the white soft features of the room.
He smiled thinking too himself; he never thought he would be here again, this time with someone he was hundred times more excited about. He vaguely remembered the day he was here with Hinata, on that day he didn't felt stressed, he didn't really feel anything. He was extremely relaxed, he chuckled under his breath looking back now the signs were so obvious from the beginning.
Naruto heard the soft clink of a Japanese bamboo shot, water flowing softly and birds chirping in unison. He was so excited but at the same time so nervous, it had been a bumpy road leading to this day, but it was finally here.
Naruto's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a soft knock at the door.
"Naruto are you ready?" Kakashi asked as he closed the door behind him.
Naruto turned around with small tears forming in the corners in his eyes, a wide smile that just wouldn't disappear from his face
"More than I will ever be Kakashi."
Kakashi came forward, he himself was feeling a bit emotional since he had considered himself Naruto's father.
"My god Naruto, I must say you look amazing."
Naruto spun around to face the mirror, looking at himself in all white. He wore a modern white tuxedo with a crème top underneath. He accompanied the entire look with the Hokage cloak hanging off both his shoulders, he was truly a sight.
"If only your parents could see you."
Naruto started to tear up even more, "oh no! No crying on your big day Naruto."
"Well stop saying emotional shit that's going to make me cry."
Kakashi came forward to embrace Naruto, he didn't care how mushy he was acting, today he was basically filling in for Minato, he had seen this boy grow up from a tiny little kid, abandoned, alone, craving attention, to this man. A man who had conquered so much in his lifetime, a man worthy of the title Hokage.
"I am so proud of you Naruto, I know it wasn't easy for you and Sasuke to get married, but it was all worth it in the end."
"Hmph" Naruto mumbled quietly under his breath as he let his tears start fall down his cheeks and onto Kakashi's shoulder.
"Okay before we both start bawling our eyes out, let's get you down this alter."
Naruto nodded, wiping his tears away in the process. He looked around for his bouquet, he found it next to the seat he was using before. He picked up the beautiful bouquet which held white roses and lilies. He started following Kakashi to the door, as Kakashi went to open it, Naruto lingered for just two more seconds.
"You coming Naruto?"
Naruto looked back into the white washed room, as though waiting for answers. And it was in that second that the almost clear white curtains brushed upwards from the wind that he saw his mum and dad standing behind it, clear as day.
