It was a beautiful day, as if the heavens themselves were giving their blessing.
And, of course…

Hyuuga Hinata’s thoughts had wandered over to a place beyond the sky again.
Neji nii-san…
Glancing out the waiting room’s window, she could see the blue sky free of any clouds.
I’m getting married.
She whispered those words inside her heart, and turned to look at the young man standing next to her.
Looking at the intense look on his face, her heart started thudding despite herself. Even though she’d always been looking at him, just being with him like this made her pulse rate pick up like it had the very first day she’d met him.
Naruto’s unflinching eyes were looking at the Hokage Monument, the faces of previous Hokage carved into rock.
Or rather, to be more accurate, he was looking at the carved face of Namikaze Minato. His dad.
Just looking at him as he did that, Hinata felt so full of emotion, her chest could burst.
Ahh, she thought. Right now, this second…
Standing next to the person she loved like this made her feel unbearably happy. She was so happy, she couldn’t even hope to express it with words.
This moment is bliss. Hinata thought, simply, honestly.
As she did, maybe he noticed she was looking, because his eyes turned to meet hers.
Hinata’s face turned red. She ended up fidgeting a little.
He gave her an embarrassed grin too. The serious look on his face turned into another one, innocent like a young boy. She adored every single one of his facial expressions.
Her father Hiashi and little sister Hanabi entered the waiting room.
It was almost time.
Hinata took Naruto’s arm, and held on tight.
