A Senju by Marriage (A Hashirama Fanfiction)

Part 4

A few months later Meera found herself in a kimono standing beside an absolutely breathtaking Hashirama. From the corner of her eyes she could see both her brother and father having glossy eyes. She felt her breath caught in her throat when she heard the words "You may now kiss the bride."

She saw Hashirama leaning closer making her eyes slightly widen. She shut her eyes in slight panic. She had no idea how to kiss. She had never kissed a man before. All she knows about a kiss is when she caught her brother red handed while he was shoving his tongue down Mito's throat.

But she was surprised when she felt a soft pair of lips on her forehead. She opened her eyes to see the handsome man before her giving her a gentle smile making her melt then and there.

They have become comfortable with each other in a week she spent in the Senju district before their marriage. She really enjoyed spending time with him. She found it really difficult to wrap her head around the fact that she was now a Senju not by birth but by marriage.

They were given a separate house for just the both of them and there were a lot of gifts from both the clans. The couple was busy unwrapping the gifts when she unwrapped the gift given by her brother. It was a crystal statue of a young Meera and Hiroshi. The fact that she would not be seeing him often brought tears to her eyes which didnt go unnoticed by her husband.

"You miss him dont you?" He asked softly looking at the dark blue crystal (Hiroshi's colour of crystal release) statue of his wife and her brother making her nod. "Dont worry, I will make sure to create a village with all the clans and we can all live together." He said sincerely making her chuckle. "Do you really think thats possible?" She asked making him smile. "Come with me." He said standing up. "Come where?" She asked confused. "You will see." He replied.

Meera found herself on top of a cliff. She was able to see a vast forest with the help of the moonlight. "This is the place me and Madara chose to build our settlement when we were kids. A village where kids doesnt have to go to war. A school were they can study and play with the other kids. This has been my true dream ever since I was young." Hashirama said staring at the forest. "Now. You are also part of my dream. And I will make sure to build my dream along with you and your clan who is also my brotherin now." He continued.

Meera just looked at him in awe. He looked enthralling in the moonlight but something confused her. "Did you just say Madara? As in Madara Uchiha?" She asked. "Ah. Yes. Madara and I were friends when we were young." Hashirama said making her jaw drop. "Wait. I thought you guys were sworn enemies. Why one earth are you fighting if the Uchiha clan leader is you friend?" She asked making him sigh.

Meera listened to him as he spoke about everything that happened between him and his Uchiha friend. "I believe in you." She said making him look at her. "I totally believe you can do it. If there is anyone who can convince the Uchiha, it is definitely you." Meera said with a soft smile on her face making his heart skip a beat.

"I remember seeing you near the river as a kid." Hashirama said making her eyes widen. "You what now?" She asked not knowing if she heard that right. "I used to come to the river often to train with Madara. I remember seeing you there a couple of times. You used to look so sad. I would think about approaching you but something in me would stop me before I could." He said shocking her.

"Let me get this straight. So you and your Uchiha friend would watch me near the river like a creep?" She asked with her eyebrow raised. Hashirama's figure immediately slumped with sulk lines above his head. "I was not being a creep. I just didnt want to scare you and Madara never got a chance to see you. You always leave before he comes." He said still sulking dramatically making her chuckle.

"Its actually a good thing you didnt approach me. I would have definitely killed you if you did." She said making him sulk more. "Okay stop sulking. I am not killing you anytime soon." She said jokingly making him smile like he wasnt sulking a literal second ago. Man his mood swings are worse than Meera's.
