The Sandaime speaks.
He speaks about Konoha's protection. About maintaining peace and prosperity within the village. He speaks about Minato's suitability to the role.
But through it all, the would-be Yondaime Hokage is not listening.
The moment Uzumaki Kushina enters Minato's line of vision, she completely arrests his attention in a way that is unrivaled even by his dedication to creating new techniques that will one day protect his village. He notes her bound hair, thinks briefly that having it loose suits her better, and feels the disappointment edging his insides when the frown on her face is still apparent. She will get over it, as Kushina is normally wont to do after some time. But Minato wants to share the joy of this moment with her, even if she disapproves of everything entirely.
The crowd goes silent while Minato is contemplating how the sun's rays form a halo around Kushina, igniting her so she seems like her whole body is ablaze. (Beautiful.) Minato would have been content to stare at her forever, but the Sandaime coughs, and he needs to give the speech which he has practiced in front of the mirror countless of times.
(Just like how he practiced the way he would ask Kushina on a date.)
She finally looks up at him as the first words leave his mouth, and he is startled by the intensity of the emotions flickering through her eyes -- and captivated. He feels like he is being drawn to her, and should he attempt to escape, he would only spiral in deeper and deeper into the tangles of her hair and the creases in her dress and the frown between her brows. Everything is at a stand-still, and the whole crowd is gone but them, and she looks up at him while he looks down at her but they still stand on level ground because Minato knows that the world would be damned before Kushina starts treating him as her senior.
(He loves her for that.)
And he loves the way she scrunches her nose when she is annoyed, and the way she grins at him like the world could fall apart anytime but they'd still be alright. The love fills up his chest until breathing is almost painful in the nice sort of way and he finishes his speech, a bit breathless but his voice never loses its firmness throughout.
He wants to tell her, 'I love you', but that would be too cheesy and Kushina hates anything remotely cheesy--
(Finally, she smiles.)
--Minato does so anyway, mouthing the words to her in front of the entirety of Konoha, even if he will be on the receiving end of her irritation later on.
- you can thank your stars all you want but I'll always be the lucky one -
