“Sasuke be careful!”
Sasuke had suddenly fallen off the large playground structure scraping his knees. He immediately began sobbing, tears streaming down his little face, Itachi frantically rushed over to his younger brother in a panic.
“Are you hurt Sasuke?”
Sasuke couldn’t form words, uncontrollably sobbing at the pain of his cut and the embarrassment of falling in public. Itachi began rummaging around in his schoolbag finding a small bandage.
“I know it’s small, but it will have to do i’m sorry I wasn’t watching more carefully.” Itachi spoke, placing the bandage onto his cut.
Sasuke looked up at his older brother, pupils dialated with adoration. It wasn’t his fault at all, but he still came to Sasuke’s rescue as he always did. Itachi was his everything, his life, his one and only thought. Sasuke loved him so much that his heart ached. Although he was still young, he wasnt too young to love. It was moments like these that made Sasuke want to stay with him for the rest of eternity.
“I think you’ve had enough fun for today, let’s go home now.” Itachi stood up, motioning for Sasuke to stand aswell.
“My leg hurts, can you carry me big brother?” Sasuke looked up at him with his pleading puppy eyes.
Itachi sighed, knowing he would give in. “Okay, but this is the last time you’re getting bigger now.” He bent down kneeling on the cold cement. Sasuke enthusiastically jumped onto his back, knocking the breath out of him. “Ow Sasuke! Your not two anymore that hurt!” Itachi said in a unamused tone, Sasuke chucking to himself.
“Mom, dad, we’re home!” Itachi yelled walking into the house, Sasuke still glued to his back. “Dinner’s ready you two come to the kitchen!” Mikoto yelled back. “You can get off me now Sasuke” Itachi laughed. Sasuke pouted, but obeyed, both boys walking to the kitchen together.
“Did you two have fun today?” Fugaku asked, stuffing his face with food like a starved animal.
“Yes I was until I fell but aniki made it all better! I’m going to marry aniki when I grow up!” Sasuke grinned ecstatically.
Mikoto and Fugaku burst into laughter. “Honey that’s not how it works, you’ll see when your older.” Sasukes expression saddened, “no! I’ll marry you when I grow up I promise Itachi!” Sasuke desperately blurted out as if he was trying to prove something.

20 years later, his parents never would’ve thought he would fulfill his promise to Itachi.
The wedding was small considering both boys were unsociable and stand-offish towards most people. They decided to go with chocolate cake and a blue theme for decoration, getting married in a church since Itachi was heavily religious.
"do you take Sasuke for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death?” The elderly priest spoke with a smile.
“In the name of God, I, Itachi, take you, Sasuke, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death.”
“I, Sasuke, take you, Itachi, to be my husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, until parted by death.”
“You may kiss the groom.”
The crowd of people cheered as they kissed wishing the best for the newly wedded.
The after party was great but slightly overwhelming for Sasuke since he was getting so many congratulations from the guests.
“Congratulations you two! At least you won’t have to worry about changing your last names!” Naruto laughed hugging Sasuke.
“Congratulations Itachi, I can’t believe you guys finally got married.” Shisui smiled shaking Itachi’s hand.
“Congrats, my favourite student and co-worker.” Kakashi politely spoke smiling.
“Congratulations Sasuke, it was an honour working with you in team seven,” Sakura shaking his hand.
The crowd finally left the two boys alone as the cutting of the cake began.
“I never thought a wedding would be this hectic” Sasuke frowned, looking down at the floor. Itachi grabbed his hand leading him outside. “Yes but think of how memorable this day is for us, we’ll be telling our kids about this someday” Itachi carresed his face looking down at him, the moon beginning to rise in the sky.
“I’m so happy I can finally call you my husband.” Sasuke pulled Itachi down passionately kissing him.
