"Itachi! Focus! I need answers now!" Mellissa snapped at a zoned out Itachi. Since six in the morning, Mellissa had been hounding the Uchiha about wedding arrangements. Itachi just decided to go hands-off – but Mellissa wasn't having that.

Itachi put his tea mug down in passive annoyance, "I don't have answers aunty! I don't know the date, I don't know which location and I don't know who to invite – if I even invite anyone!"

Mellissa slammed her clipboard on the kitchen table, "Then why am I putting in so much work?!"

Itachi picked up his mug again and took a sip, "Because you wanted to."

Mellissa's eyes took on a dream-like twinkle, "That's true – I want everything to be perfect for you", her feigned anger all forgotten.

Shisui decided to speak up after Itachi glared at him for intervention, "Maybe come back in a few hours, give my fiancé a few hours to gather his thoughts."

Mellissa smirked at Shisui, "You two can communicate with looks already. I'm impressed, you're practically married", Mellissa turned to Itachi, "I'll be back", she said seriously, but also imitating the Terminator.

Shisui walked Mellissa to the door and closed it gently behind her. Itachi sighed from the kitchen and rubbed his temples, "Let's just have an informal ceremony? Just you, I and a city official? No flowers, or cakes, or guests, or clothes, and best of all, a random, seedy location!"

Shisui flashed a smile, "No way – I want it to be perfect. It's a ceremony of our love and union – I want it to be the most significant memory."

Despite being with Shisui for a while now, hearing him talk about his love for Itachi still resurrected the butterflies in the Uchiha. They swarmed within him, gently fluttering around his heart. He didn't think he would ever grow used to such a beautiful, kind creature loving him.

Shisui walked back over to Itachi and kissed the top of his head – the Uchiha leaned into the touch.

There was a knock on the door and Itachi sighed. He got up and went to the front door, opening it.

"Yo", Kakashi said easily, Obito smiling beside him.

"Kakashi?" Itachi said in surprise.

Shisui was next to Itachi in a flash after hearing Kakashi's name come out of Itachi's mouth.

"Obito and I were in the neighbourhood so we came to say hi", Kakashi said easily – ignoring the daggers Shisui shot at him.

"Well, please, come in", Itachi invited the couple inside.

Obito reached for Shisui's hand, "Hi! I'm Obito."

Shisui looked at the smaller male's hand with fire, he took the hand firmly and shook it, "You're the guy who punched Itachi. It's so good to meet you", Shisui smiled.

Itachi saw Kakashi's shoulders square up and the Uchiha felt like screaming. Is it too much to ask for a peaceful, uneventful day? Itachi pulled Shisui's hand away from Obito and all but shoved his fiancé onto the couch.

"Sit. Behave. Be polite", Itachi spoke strictly to Shisui. He then turned to his guests, "Can I get you guys anything to drink?"

Kakashi sat on the opposite couch from Shisui, Obito curling up against the white haired male, "I'm good, Obito do you want anything?"

"Uh, sure. May I have some tea?" Obito spoke politely.

Itachi walked into the kitchen, listening intently to the conversation in the living room – acting as the guardian of peace.

"Kakashi, you look small – do you even work out?" Itachi heard Shisui taunt.

"If I'm small, then you're puny – you call those biceps?" Kakashi retaliated.

Itachi hurried with the tea and all but ran back to the living room.

Kakashi and Shisui had their shirts off – comparing muscles.

"See? My biceps are way bigger than yours", Shisui said confidently.

"My lats crush yours though", Kakashi countered.

Itachi sat next to Obito who watched the competition with a small smile, taking the tea Itachi handed him.

"Despite their obvious competition with each other, I think they could get along well", Itachi commented.

"Shh...If we encourage it, they'll resist", Obito whispered and took a sip of his tea.

"We'll settle this with an arm wrestle then", Kakashi and Shisui spoke in unison.

They pulled the coffee table closer to them and settled their elbows on it.

"On three", Shisui said.

Itachi and Obito watched in suspense as Kakashi and Shisui counted to three.

"Three!"

The two males' biceps buldged – neither was making any progress against their opponent. Kakashi grit his teeth – Shisui soon did the same. It was now a battle of endurance.

At one point Shisui was gaining the upper-hand when Kakashi took back the territory he had lost. This went on for a few minutes – each step of progress was soon backpedalled by the opponent.

"Can we just call it a draw?" Itachi suggested – growing both anxious and bored.

"Push ups then!" Shisui demanded.

"Fine, first to fifty wins!" Kakashi shot.

"Shisui and I are getting married", Itachi said nonchalantly – yet loudly. Anything to end the suffocating alpha-male posturing.

Kakashi froze and Obito's head snapped to look at Itachi.

Shisui was quickly by Itachi, snatched his fiancé's right hand up and showed off the engagement ring, "Suck it", Shisui said smugly to Kakashi.

"Oh my God!" Obito said in utter surprise, snatching Itachi's hand from Shisui's grasp to gawk at the ring.

"Woah, Congrats", Kakashi said in disbelief.

"Look at the size of that diamond!" Obito said in awe.

"When's the ceremony?" Kakashi asked – his and Shisui's competition all forgotten.

"We haven't picked a date yet..." Itachi mumbled – feeling his annoyance flare up again, "Obviously you two will be there."

"Have you thought about colours?" Obito gushed.

"Red and white", Shisui said proudly.

Itachi glared at Shisui, "Actually I thought of the colour scheme because my fiancé is refusing to help."

Shisui scratched his head sheepishly.

"Dude, it's your wedding too", Kakashi provided.

"I know, but I want the day to be all about Itachi", Shisui confessed.

A lightbulb electrified Itachi's mind, "Oh? What happened to 'It's a ceremony of our love and union'?" Itachi asked, quoting Shisui's words from earlier.

Obito chuckled, "You two don't even need the wedding – you bicker like a married couple already."

Itachi smiled at Obito then turned to Shisui who was looking sheepish, his gaze then turned to Kakashi who was putting his shirt back on. Another lightbulb sparked in Itachi's mind.

"Kakashi, I want you to be Shisui's best man", Itachi demanded.

"What?" Both Kakashi and Shisui said in disbelief.

"It'll get Mellissa off my back, solve one of the problems and Obito, you can join the groomsmen I guess." Itachi formulated.

"But, Kakashi as my be-" Shisui started, trying to be diplomatic.

"Oh? Who else were you going to ask?" Itachi crossed his arms in challenge.

Shisui was quiet, staring bitterly at the floor.

"I'd love to be part of the ceremony!" Obito practically screeched.

"If it helps, I'll do it", Kakashi smiled.

"You two will start getting along", Itachi said in unchallenged determination, referring to Kakashi and Shisui.

"And what if I refuse?" Shisui said stubbornly.

Itachi shrugged, "That's simple – no sex."

"That affects you too", Shisui said smugly.

"Trust me, that doesn't bother me all that much", Itachi said indifferently, "I can start proving it if you want?"

Shisui swallowed thickly.

Obito covered his moth to suppress a laugh, Kakashi looked at Shisui wide eyed and Shisui's left eye twitched, "Fine! Fine!" The older male spoke quickly.

The four of them eventually settled down, talking about their first semester and preparations for second semester. Movies they had recently watched – Itachi and Obito exchanged books they had each read and offered recommendations to one another. At some point Shisui and Kakashi recommended workout tips and soon the sun had begun setting.

The front door opened and Sasuke walked in, "Oh, hey, Kakashi!"

"Yo, Sasuke. How was school?"

"Same old. Hi, I'm Sasuke", the Uchiha greeted Obito.

"Obito, nice to meet you, Sasuke! Kakashi, we should probably get going."

"Yeah, see you at the gym tomorrow, Shisui." And the coupled made a swift exit.

"Gym?" Itachi asked Shisui, straddling his fiancé's lap.

"While you and Obito were discussing books, Kakashi and I made plans to workout tomorrow, so that we can try to get along and so that I can still have you anyway I want", Shisui kissed Itachi heatedly.

Itachi broke the kiss and leaned his forehead against Shisui's, "Where are we going to have the ceremony?" Itachi fretted.

Shisui looked deep in thought, "How about..." He then stopped mid sentence.

"I'm listening", Itachi prodded.

"It's a stupid idea", Shisui said shyly.

"Just tell me", Itachi smiled encouragingly and with adoration – he had hardly seen Shisui shy, it was so cute.

"Well...the field of our first date. The same field I proposed?"

Itachi's eyes widened, "Shisui! That's perfect!" He then smashed his lips to the older male's, trying to communicate his love. Itachi was drowning in sparks from the skin to skin contact with his fiancé.

After needing air, Itachi broke the kiss, leaning his forehead back against his fiancé's, "Your skin always sparks mine alive...I just want to crawl inside you."

"I do that to you most nights", Shisui smirked.

Itachi smacked Shisui's arm and chuckled, "Pervert."

Nonetheless, the couple kissed again – the sparks flying across their skin. They were fully immersed in each other, their surroundings were all forgotten. Shisui's hands slithered under Itachi's shirt – desperately trying to increase skin to skin contact. In return, Itachi tangled his hands in Shisui's locks.

They both jerked in shock when there was machine-like pounding on the front door.

"Mellissa!" Itachi screamed at the door, "It's open", he quickly added, remedying his angry tone.

"I'm back!" She announced happily, closing the door behind her.

Itachi got off Shisui's lap, "I can give you some answers now."

Mellissa quickly retrieved her clipboard and clicked her pen. Itachi described the location to her – and how to get there. She adorned a focussed expression as she wrote down what Itachi provided.

"Okay, what about guests?" Mellissa asked after her scribbling of the location was done.

"Well...You, Sasuke, Shisui's parents, Kakashi and Obito... Am I missing anyone?" Itachi looked at Shisui.

"Sakura? And her father? Why not Naruto and his parents too?" Shisui offered.

"So in total, eleven people?" Mellissa asked dubiously.

"I don't want a large thing – small and intimate", Itachi said.

"Roger", Mellissa scribbled down again, "So...I took the liberty of picking a minister."

"Great! Who?" Itachi asked.

"Minister Hiruzen Sarutobi..." Mellissa whispered.

"That name sounds familiar..." Itachi mumbled in thought.

Mellissa nervously bit her lip, "He was the minister at...your parents' wedding..."

Itachi froze. Shisui was by his side in an instant.

"I can find a different one – it's no pro-" Mellissa spoke quickly but was cut off by Itachi.

"That's actually perfect", Itachi smiled, "He gets to officiate a true marriage."

Itachi would never know the pride and love that flooded Shisui's veins when he said that.

"So I was thinking... He's available Friday or Sunday... They're both pretty soon", Mellissa provided.

Itachi looked at Shisui, "Sunday", they said in unison.

"Great! I'll get working on the outfits – see you two soon", Mellissa turned, "Oh and I've started making arrangements for your bachelor parties – no seeing each other the night before the wedding", and she left like the wind.

"It's sinking in...I won't see you on Saturday..." Itachi mumbled.

"It'll be one night...We'll survive", Shisui tried to be supportive but even he seemed dampened by the idea.

"Three more days", Itachi said.

"Three more days until forever", Shisui mumbled against Itachi's forehead.
