(A/N Just a heads up, next chapter is mature. It's not graphic and pretty brief - WAY more mild than chapter 22 😳)
brief recap:
"Order is what matters!" Madara sighed, frustrated. He got up and let go of Hashirama's hand, making his way towards the door.
Hashirama said, upset, "Mada, where are you going?"
"I am clearing my head, and then I will go deal with this."
"But Madara-!" The Hokage stood up.
"Hashirama." He turned around and gave the Senju a cold look. "The village will fall apart without order." With that, he left.
. . . and now we continue :D
***********************************************************************************************
Hashirama decided it would be best to give him some time - surely Madara would realize the right thing to do after clearing his head, right? He waited a few minutes, just staring at the door, then decided to go after him. He ran at full speed out the door. There was no way Madara would listen to reason right now - he would just try to prove Hashirama wrong. Whenever they argued with each other in the past, he was the same way - he would try to prove that he was right no matter what. It was in his competitive nature to do so. . .
Hashirama could sense which direction Madara was headed in from their newly connected chakra, so he headed that way.
Madara was hiding among a few trees on the edge of the village. It was just far enough to where no one would see or hear him, but the restaurant was still in sight. He watched Risa step outside - now was his chance. Just as he was about to go after her, something held him back. He sat down and leaned against a tree; he put his hand on the tree beside him. It reminded him of the trees that were growing in his own room, Hashirama's trees. . .
Suddenly, Madara was questioning his actions. Hashirama did already have a wood clone watching her, and besides. . . Would he really want to betray the Senju's trust? For the first time since Izuna's death, he felt like he had someone that he cared about. . . Someone he loved. Could he really betray the only person that he loved anymore, just to prove a point? Would he jeopardize everything that he had with the Senju for this?
Even if the village is at stake. . . I cannot betray him, Madara thought to himself. Something twisted in his stomach as he thought this - Hashirama was becoming more important to him than his own wishes, than his clan's wishes, than his own brother's wishes. He wondered why he was acting in such a way and how things had come to be like this so fast. . .
". . .ada? Mada, are you okay?" A voice brought him back to reality.
Madara hadn't even noticed Hashirama sitting beside him. He turned to look at the Senju, then looked forward.
"Hashirama. . . I am sorry for what I said," Madara said. "Even if this is important to me, you are the Hokage. . . And besides, I do not want to lose what is between us," he finished quietly.
Hashirama pulled Madara close to him, so Madara's head was resting on his shoulder. "It's okay, Mada, I know what you were thinking. And don't worry - nothing can come between us. At least, not to me. I always have loved you and I always will. . . And I mean everything about you, not just the good things." He paused, then suggested, "Here. . . Let's take a break. Don't worry, I left Hashimara at the office, since he's the responsible one, and I asked Tobirama to keep an eye on things - it's important that we talk."
"That's one of your damn clones, isn't it?" Madara shook his head. "You fool. . . Naming your own clones. . ."
"Hey, they should have names! It makes them feel more appreciated-"
"They are clones, Hashirama!" Madara laughed a little, then dismissed it. "Oh well, it is not important. . . Now, are we going to talk? You better be sure to make it quick."
Hashirama said, "Alright, let's go." He picked Madara up.
The Uchiha protested, "What the hell, put me down! As I said, I am capable of walking on my own-!"
Hashirama smirked and started to run deep into the woods, still holding him. The whole time, Madara complained and tried to get the Senju to put him down. Once they were far from the village, Hashirama finally obliged. He used his wood style to make a house, so they had more privacy, then helped Madara up. They got situated, and Hashirama closed the door behind them. Madara lit a fire, then carefully sat down next to the Senju.
"Finally. . . Some privacy. Now I can shout it as loud as I want, MADARA AND I HAD SO MUCH SEX LAST-"
"DAMN YOU!! Someone could still hear, you never know!" Madara blushed deeply and buried his face in his hands.
The Senju laughed, "It's fine, Mada, we're so far away from the village that no one will hear. No one is ever out this far in the woods - that's why I came here." Hashirama cleared his throat, "Speaking of sex. . . Our relationship. What do you want from it?"
"Do you have to keep mentioning it?" Madara blushed.
"Hm?"
"Last night. . ."
Hashirama frowned, "Oh, that? Why, are you ashamed? I mean, it seemed to me like you liked it. . . Did you not like-"
Madara blushed deeper and said, "NO! No. . . That is not the issue. It is just. . . Embarrassing to talk about all the time, is it not. . .?"
Hashirama shrugged. "Eh, it doesn't embarrass me. . . Thinking about last night just makes me happy! And it makes me want you more. . . Thinking about the way you looked, the way you felt. . . I want to remember it forever. Maybe that's why I keep bringing it up. . ."
This sparked something in Madara; he looked at the Senju with lust. "Is that so? I should give you more to remember, then. . ."
