After their first night together in the new master bedroom, Naruto and Sasuke talked about moving. They only needed five minutes to decide they would move in with them. Well, move into the Hatake compound in their own house, since neither of them, no matter how often they argued, were used to living alone. They would also share a house with Itachi in five months, if he agreed to move in, so things would definitely stay lively.
"Good thing these houses are big!" said Naruto, of course arguing with Sasuke. "Otherwise no one could stand it."
Seina and the others heard Kakashi's amused snort from a room away. The houses in the Hatake compound, except for the main one, were all identical: four bedrooms, two full baths, a kitchen, living and dining rooms, a laundry/pantry, a decent-sized entryway, and front and back gardens separated from the other homes by a narrow path of grey stone. Her brothers had more than enough space not to kill each other, and not to share a bathroom. Though part of her knew they would find another excuse to keep arguing. After all, that was how they showed affection. Most of the time, anyway…
Kakashi and she didn't mind anymore. In that precise moment, as relaxed and happy as she was, she could only smile. Even their nonsense couldn't tire or exasperate her the way it sometimes did.
"How's the wedding planning going?" Sasuke asked suddenly. "You look more relaxed."
"That's because almost everything's ready. We just need to pick up our clothes, decorate the day before, prep the catering on the wedding day, and then get married."
"Speaking of that, we need to stop by the tailor," Kakashi reminded her, appearing in the doorway and sitting so close beside her that Sasuke raised an eyebrow.
"Great. One less thing. Too bad I can't invite Gaara and his siblings. They're the only ones who won't attend."
"Maybe we can talk to Tsunade-sama," Kakashi reassured her, slipping an arm around her shoulders and toying with her loose hair.
Sasuke's half-disgusted, half-amused expression nearly made her laugh. It was like a kid seeing a teacher with their partner outside of school acting normal or like catching one's parents kissing. From the corner of her eye she saw the dangerous curve of Kakashi's lips when he obviously noticed it too. Naruto, still exploring the house, clattered loudly down the stairs.
"Ugh. Am I the only one who gets bored in the village?"
"You just got here and you're already bored?" Kakashi smiled. "Thank Tsunade-sama for giving all of us some adjustment time."
Seina nodded. She'd been thinking the same thing for days. Since they had returned, they hadn't had a single mission. First because Kakashi was in the hospital for almost eight days, then because they were planning a wedding with everything that entailed. Four days remained in October and then one more until the wedding. She could hardly believe that in less than a week she would be married to the love of her new life. Counting the seven days after, for their honeymoon, she would have spent almost a month in Konoha without a single mission. Ah… sometimes it was great to be the Hokage's apprentice.
A while later, Kakashi left for the tailor as they had discussed. Naruto and Sasuke, clueless about wedding preparations, headed to the training grounds, tail between their legs. Seina let them go, stifling a mocking laugh. When they got married someday, she would have her turn to laugh. Left completely alone, she set out for the flower shop. Ino had told her to stop by one of these days to talk about her bouquet, the only flowers she planned to buy because it amused her to get them from her friend's shop. All the other flowers, like the rest of the décor, would be conjured or transfigured.
When she arrived at the shop, to her surprise she found Karin, Hinata, and Ino together.
"Seina! You look radiant!"
"No wonder. She's about to get married!"
"What are you all doing here together?"
"Hinata wanted flowers for her pressed-flower hobby, and Karin helps me in the shop from time to time," Ino explained as she finished wrapping Hinata's bouquet. "Are you here to talk about your bouquet?"
"I'm not missing this!" Karin grinned when Seina nodded. "What flowers were you thinking of?"
"None in particular, actually. I just don't want anything too fussy, and it should match the décor."
"Pearl grey and cream, right?" Ino recalled. Seina nodded again. "Great. Hmm… how about a bouquet with mostly cream flowers and a few white ones?"
"Like what?"
"How about cream-colored roses?" Hinata offered. "They're a beautiful mix of pink and yellow tones and mean love and sweetness."
"Actually, we could make a bouquet entirely of those roses with their leaves and stems and wrap it in a semi-transparent grey fabric with a pearly clasp."
She spent a long while with her friends, chatting and sketching designs until they found one everyone liked. Honestly, everything seemed perfect to her as she was on cloud nine. Her friends, on the other hand, had struggled to accept that any bouquet would please her.
"She's in love," Karin shrugged, "and she's marrying the love of her life. Right now everything looks great."
Seina laughed because it was completely true. Leaving the shop, she stopped by her old house to pick up anything she still needed for her new home. A quick look into Kakashi's former room showed it spotless, though she remembered him confessing he hadn't set foot there in a long time while away. She guessed his belongings were either at his old place or carried with him.
She returned minutes later, grinning at the thought that she was heading back to the future home where their children would grow, where she would live as Kakashi's wife. She found her fiancé—her fiancé, gods—putting away the garments he had picked up from the tailor. He turned with a smile the instant he sensed her.
"How was the flower shop?" he asked, crossing the room in a few strides to pull her into his arms as if he couldn't help himself.
"Good. I also finished gathering our things from the old house."
She welcomed a kiss on the lips, losing the thread of her thoughts. A hand slid into her loose hair, drawing her closer, and a tongue parted her lips with easy confidence. She could only loop her arms around his neck to keep herself upright when her knees went weak at the feel of his tongue twining with hers, as though they'd been doing this for years instead of mere days.
"You don't know how many times I wanted to do this," he whispered against her damp lips minutes later, licking her lower lip before kissing her again.
A hand rested on her hip, pulling her up so she jumped on top of him just as she wanted. He caught her without any trouble, walking towards the bed even though it was only mid-morning. She could have made his clothes vanish with a thought, but there was something indescribably exciting about watching him undress for her, piece by piece. Still, what she wanted right now, apart from seeing him naked, was to make him come in her mouth. So, as soon as he laid her down on the bed, she used her strength to roll them over, leaving him on the bottom. Kakashi looked at her with dilated pupils and a large bulge in his trousers.
"Today it's my turn."
"I'm yours," he said tersely, giving her permission to do whatever she wanted with him.
She removed his ninja headband, throwing it accurately onto the chair where his vest and mask were resting, and then slowly pulled off his blue jumper. She looked closely at his muscular torso, caressing it and then placing her lips on his chest. She closed her eyes as she felt his chest rise and fall somewhat rapidly, alive, beneath her lips. He placed a hand on her head, though he did not push her away or press her against him, he simply... let her to it. She slowly moved her hand down, tracing his defined abs until she touched the fabric of his trousers. She slipped her hand inside his underwear as she sucked on one of his nipples and listened to his ragged breathing.
She wrapped her hand around his cock, feeling it hard, yet soft, hot and large in her hand. She heard him moan with pleasure as she began to stroke him. With an impatient glance, she let go to use both hands to pull down his trousers and black boxer shorts, which contrasted beautifully with his pale skin. She looked up through her eyelashes, seeing how both his eyes were fixed on her under the arm he was using to cover his face. He was so attractive that just thinking about him naked made her completely wet.
She took his member again with a firm hand, making herself comfortable between his open legs and, looking him straight in the eyes, she licked his head slowly, watching him shudder with pleasure and moan deeply. Perhaps because he knew what she was going to do to him in the next few minutes. Without thinking twice, she hid her teeth and used all her considerable experience to give him pleasure. One of his legs tensed under her clothed breasts, and, somewhat resentful, she vanished all her clothes to feel his skin against hers.
She grabbed the free hand that was clutching the sheets tightly and placed it on her head. She felt him grab her hair without hurting her, but hard enough for her to feel it at all times. Then she began to suck his cock as she had wanted to do countless times before, as she had imagined when she masturbated thinking about him.
"Seina!" he moaned her name when he felt her lips brush against his pubis. "Fuck!"
She pressed his hips against the mattress so he couldn't dominate her, so he had no choice but to use his hand on her head to communicate with her. After a few minutes, when she felt her lips burning from lack of practise, after hearing over and over again the wet sound of his member filling her mouth and setting her taste buds on fire with his masculine flavour, he tried to pull away. She knew he was about to come, so she pulled away immediately, smiling when she heard his sad and frustrated moan.
Where do you want to come? In my mouth, on my face, or on my breasts?"
"In your mouth," he replied quickly, his voice hoarse, on the edge of the precipice.
She didn't think twice. She put it back in her mouth as if it were an S-rank mission. She released his hips, which she had been holding with brute force, so Kakashi momentarily fucked her mouth and throat as he had wanted to do from the beginning. As soon as she felt the onset of his muscle spasms, she buried his cock deep inside her again until her nose touched his stomach. One hand held her in place while Kakashi came with a muffled cry, shuddering beneath her body. He came once, twice, before relaxing his hand from her hair. Seina climbed up, her lips still tight around him, and opened her mouth to lick his head. Kakashi surprised her by letting go of her head and grabbing his cock firmly. He began to masturbate, prolonging his orgasm, so she opened her mouth to let him cum a couple more times on her tongue. A few seconds later, he fell exhausted and panting onto the mattress.
"Do you remember that time you caught me training and gave me a hard-on with your games?" he said suddenly, catching his breath and removing his arm from over his eyes. "I jerked off thinking about just this."
"Me giving you a blow job?"
"And me masturbating to cum in your open mouth," he said in a dark voice. Her hair stood on end when she saw his almost animalistic expression devouring her, still between his legs. "Come here. No, here."
He grabbed her before she could lie down on his chest. His pure masculine strength excited her even more, especially when he moved her around as he pleased until he sat her on his face. He said nothing else, simply began to eat her pussy as if he hadn't eaten in days. She moaned, stifling a small cry, when she felt him penetrate her with his tongue and use one hand to gently pinch her clitoris. She leaned over him, resting her head against the soft black headboard, and let him give her pleasure. Before she could come, he grabbed her again and threw her onto the bed. The impact left her breathless for a moment, but before she could recover, he put her legs over his shoulders and impaled her with his new erection in one thrust.
It wasn't like the first time. This time it was just as he had promised her that time: hard, wild, frenzied. He made her scream into his mouth as a couple of tears of pleasure spilled from her eyes. She had to summon all her willpower to open her eyes and look him in the face. Her heart skipped a beat when his grey eye and active sharingan stared at her, strands of hair falling over his sweat-beaded forehead and his muscles straining with effort.
"Kakashi!"
"I promised I'd make you scream," he gasped.
She moaned, grabbing his hair, as she felt his thighs collide with her legs, hip against hip. She felt his cock fill her completely, as if they were two pieces of a puzzle. He buried his head in her neck to bite her again so she could see his back and muscles contract every time he rammed her against the mattress. She lost track of time, but she couldn't help howling with pleasure until, as if feeling a thousand electric shocks run through her body, she finally came before Kakashi. He fucked her for a few more seconds before the contractions of her vagina became too much for him and he ended up coming as deep inside her as possible.
When she came to, the first thing she heard was their mixed panting, and then she felt his increasingly flaccid penis slip out of her, making her moan one last time. She felt his hot cum wet her buttocks.
"I love you."
"I love you too. You don't know how much," he said softly, kissing her neck before lifting her head heavily and taking her lips again.
She caressed his arms, chest, back, and short hair… it would never be enough. With a flick of her hand and a bit of magic, she cleaned them both so they could stay in bed a while longer without feeling uncomfortable from the many fluids. They lingered there for a long time, even though both knew it was lunchtime. She closed her eyes, savouring the familiar euphoria of being in Kakashi's protective, loving embrace. Everything she had wanted in this new life meant nothing if she didn't have him, loving her, by her side. Becoming the hospital director? Becoming the best ninja possible? Her businesses in Uzu? None of it mattered without Kakashi. If she had to choose between remaining a ninja or being with Kakashi, she wouldn't hesitate for a second. She'd rather work as a baker for the rest of her days than live without him.
She couldn't wait for their wedding day, just three days away, to finally marry the love of her life. She wanted everyone to know that he had chosen her after so many years alone and that she chose him above all others. She wanted to take his name, build a family with him, and spend the rest of their lives together. She wanted so many things she wasn't sure they'd have enough time for them all.
"What are you thinking?" Kakashi asked, his jaw resting against her forehead.
"About everything I want to live by your side." Suddenly her parents came to mind. "Do you think your parents would have liked me?"
"Yes. My father would have liked you a lot. He was like you: always trying to protect the people he loved above everything. He would have welcomed you into the family without a doubt."
"Thank you," she whispered at last, smiling at the sincerity in his words. "I think my parents would have accepted you too."
"You think so?"
"Yes. Because even if he didn't like it at first, my father, better than anyone, would have known there's no one more capable of protecting and loving me than you."
"…Thank you, my love."
Kakashi's tight voice made her realize that maybe, in some way, he had wondered what her father might think of their union. For Seina, from what she knew of him, it was obvious that sooner or later her father would have seen how much Kakashi loved her. Her father, better than anyone, knew what Kakashi was like. He had been his student for many years. Without a doubt, he would have accepted him as a son-in-law.
A little later they went to eat. They spent the afternoon starting to decorate the compound. Everything had to be ready in three days, so it was better to have it finished the day before. When Naruto and Sasuke returned from training, they agreed to help, between arguments.
"That doesn't go there, dobe!"
"Seina told me it did!"
"No! The pergola goes there and the cake table goes in the centre!"
Seina rolled her eyes. The idea was to eat outdoors, so they planned to set up pergolas and pavilions covered in greenery to give midday shade over the catering tables and the tables where guests would sit. The tables would be round to avoid anyone sitting at the "head," which implied a higher status, and they'd be covered with white cloths and surrounded by pearl-grey chairs. Ino, with help from the Yamanaka flower shop workers, would handle the centrepieces, and Hinata, who knew plenty of etiquette, would help seat the guests properly to avoid grudges.
"We'll all be at your house about three hours early to help you get dressed," promised Karin. "It's going to be amazing!"
"I can ask my mom to do our makeup!" added Ino. "She's incredible with it!"
So she arranged for Ino, Hinata, Karin, Tenten, Sakura, Ino's mother, and Shikamaru's mother to help her dress, style her hair, and do her makeup. Genma, Raido, and Guy would be with Kakashi along with Naruto and Sasuke, which reassured her—he would be well accompanied too. The only problem had been deciding who would walk her down the aisle. Naruto and Sasuke almost came to blows: Naruto insisted he was closest to her, while Sasuke argued that not escorting her would mean he wasn't truly her brother. In the end, Kakashi had to step in when it looked like a real fight was brewing. For the first time ever.
"Why don't you both walk Seina to the altar?" he suggested, touching each of their shoulders.
Her brothers fell silent, glaring at each other but thinking it over. Seina, sensing the tension ease, quickly backed Kakashi up.
"He's right. I'd like both of you with me. In fact, if you can't agree, I'll just ask Shikaku."
"WHAT!? The lazy father of Shikamaru!?"
"Seina!"
"What?" she said with a shrug. "Honestly, if I could, I'd ask Itachi but I can't."
She laughed at their indignant faces. Naruto was appalled that she'd even consider asking someone else, while Sasuke was horrified at the thought of his own older brother stealing the honour when he was already fighting Naruto for it. Kakashi chuckled at the three of them, then discreetly winked when his eyes met hers. He knew exactly why she'd mentioned Itachi.
"Very clever, dropping Itachi's name like that," he murmured, walking beside her with an arm draped over her shoulders as they headed into the village for a snack.
"I knew it would be the best way to stop them from fighting."
She smiled a little mischievously. Clearly, Naruto and Sasuke would rather join forces and escort her together than allow Itachi to walk her alone. She laced her fingers with Kakashi's hand on her shoulder, smiling at how neatly everything had resolved. They found a café near the compound with outdoor tables. It was a quiet area near a park, so they sat to talk and share desserts like any other couple, though protected by a discreet magical barrier. She might be in love, but she wasn't careless.
"I have a surprise for you," Kakashi said with a smile.
"What is it?"
"You'll see when we get home."
They lingered in the village for a while, chatting mostly about the wedding. It was the central topic now; both were eager for the big day. They were already a couple, everyone knew it. but there was something special about calling each other husband and wife.
Their time in the village felt short, but they returned home knowing they could have another date whenever they wished. Part of her was anxious to learn what Kakashi's surprise was. The surprise turned out to be none other than Itachi himself, who had just settled into the house where Sasuke and Naruto lived. Seina couldn't help a delighted shout when she saw him again, dressed casually. She launched herself at him like lightning. Itachi caught her easily, smiling in his usual subdued way before hugging her tightly.
"Itachi! What are you doing here!? I thought you'd be living in the ANBU quarters for another five months!"
"Kakashi-senpai convinced Tsunade-sama to let me move in with you. After all, there's no one here who doesn't know about my situation."
Seina instantly turned to see Kakashi's satisfied expression. In a few quick steps she was at his side, tugging on his vest to kiss him deeply. He pulled her close, returning the kiss with a smiling mouth.
"Thank you."
"I knew you missed him."
She could hardly believe how far this man would go to make her happy. Shaking her head, she silently vowed to do everything she could to make him as happy as he made her.
