Madara


I followed him closely as we left the restaurant together. I knew his mind was racing right now and wasn't aware of where he was going. That's why he wanted me there with him. He didn't need me to speak for him, he only needed me there as support.

It was hard to watch him go through this. To have a tyrant of a father that only cares about himself and doesn't value or recognize anyone else's. I'm just glad Hashirama grew up taking after his mother.

He has her heart and character. She's responsible for the amazing man he grew into. For a long time, all he did was was wander the streets. I said nothing providing him with the silence he needed. Every so often I would see him lift his hand up.

It was more than likely to whip away a tear or two. Hashirama's one of the strongest people I know but I know all of this was frustrating and exhausting for him. Constantly having to repeat the same thing over and over again to a person that makes no attempt of even trying to hear what your saying.

He grabbed me by the hand and dragged me along with him. I let him. I allowed him to have the feeling of being in control of me and take me wherever he desired. As long as he was with me he was safe. We walked for about thirty minutes until we came across a river. He let go of my hand and went sit with his feet in the water. I stood behind him.

"Wanna talk about it"?

"I feel awful. It feels as though I wanna throw up". He said in a low voice. "That bad huh"? I went sit next to him. He immediately placed his head on my lap. That's when I noticed the sweat starting to form on his forehead. "Hashi". "My stomach hurts Mada". "Pain scale". "Eight".

I was about to say something else but he quickly moved away from me so he could puke in the river. I held his hair back and gently rubbed his back for him. "It's ok. You're ok. I've got you". I spoke softly. It lasted for a minute. When it was over he laid against me.

"Do you think you're coming down with something"? I asked placing a hand on his forehead. "I don't know, I was fine until-". That's when it dawned on me. "Until you ate at the restaurant. They had already ordered for us, they told us your food was vegan and we trusted them".

"Why would he do this to me"? He asked holding onto his stomach. "I don't know but if I had to guess it's so Mito could take care of you". "Please, please take me home". "As you wish".


Gege



















I kamuied us to my house and gently laid him under the covers in my bed after helping him out of his clothes. I knew his house was the first place they'd look. I left, headed downstairs, and came back with a glass of ice water. I climbed into bed next to him and placed my hand underneath his head to hold it up for support.

"When you're able to eat I'll make toast and rice for you but until then I need you to stay hydrated". I placed the cup to his lips and he drank. "Good boy". When he was done he moved his hand to my wrist as a way of telling me to stop.

I placed the glass on the nightstand and held him close to me in my arms. "This feels familiar". He whispered with his head against my chest. "Try to get some rest". I spoke softly.

"Talk with me until I fall to sleep". "Ok". "Does this feel familiar to you as well"?  "It does but Hashi". "Makes me wonder if we were lovers in a past life. It would explain why we felt such a strong connection to one another and slept with each other the first time we met as adults".

"A past life huh? Exactly what would our roles be"? I asked amused. "Me a clumsy prince and you a ghost king. Just like now you would be discriminated against but you would find comfort in me just like I find comfort in you".

"Would I also keep reminding you that you're a person first and don't need to listen to all the hateful comments your comrades have about you"? He looked up at me shocked. My smile stayed as he cupped my face and tears started to form in your eyes.

"Please. Please tell me you didn't say that to try and be funny. Please tell me it's you"? "I would never do anything to hurt you gege. You know that". "San Long". His tears fell.

I held him closer as he cried silently into my chest. "I missed you so much". "I've missed you too my love but didn't I tell you we would meet again in the future"? "You did I just hate the fact that my father made me sick".

"If I'm being honest it was more than likely Hana. I already told you the reason for why earlier". "I wanna speak with them". "You will when you've recovered. "No now, I need to know". "Gege". "You'll be here with me. Having you by my side is all the strength that I need".

"Alright but promise me you won't allow yourself to become angered by what they have to say". "I promise".



















Hashirama


As per my request, Madara called them all over right away. While waiting he allowed me to change into one of his shirts so I could feel more comfortable. It stopped at my knees but it was one of the softest things I had ever worn.

Sooner rather than later there was a knock at the door. Madara left to answer it and came back with the three of them. "I'm hoping you don't expect me to leave my own bedroom"? Madara asked as he sat on the bed next to me.

"I would appreciate it greatly if you would let us discuss this in private as a family". Dad said. "I want him here, Madara is family. He's my boyfriend".

"Your what"!? Mito exclaimed. "Clearly the boy is confused". Hana stated. "What did you do to my son Uchiha"!? "Love him. That's all I've ever done but I do have one question I want answered. Which one of you poisoned him"? Madara's demeanor was nothing but furious right now.

"What are you talking about? Why on earth would we want to poison him"? Dad asked. "You tell me. You know he's vegan but yet and still, you ordered actual meat for him to eat. Do you have any idea how fucked up his stomach is right now!? He threw up in a river earlier and can barely fucking stand"! His eyes were red with rage.


San Long


That's when I witnessed it. Dad turned towards Hana and slapped her across the face. "You gave my son meat! Were you trying to kill him"!? "No of course not. I just thought that if he became sick then Mito could nurse him back to health and during that time they could grow close to one another".

"I would never allow her to take care of me".

"You do realize that if it weren't for me you and your daughter would have nothing"! "Of course I do. I would never do anything to jeopardize the life we've created together over the years. I love you". "But you did. You did exactly that when you tried to kill him"!

"Don't act like the caring father now, we both know you aren't". Everyone turned their heads towards me. "You should be ashamed of yourself. You've been cheating on mom? For how long exactly"? He said nothing. "Answer me you pathetic excuse of a man". I glared at him.

"Two months before our wedding". "You don't deserve her. You don't deserve us as your kids. I want nothing more to do with you. Get the hell out of my village and never come back. As for your divorce, I'll personally handle that myself".

"I'm still your father Hashirama". "I have no father. Now all of you get the hell out I need to rest". They gave him one final before walking out. Mito was going to say something but decided against it and left with her mother.

Madara made his way back under the covers and held me in his strong arms once again. "I'm so proud of you". Those were the last words I heard before drifting off to the sound of his heartbeat.
