Never Meant To Be

Ah Damn

''I can't believe this..''  It'll soon get better, won't it? Won't it?









...









 It seems that Tobirama and Izuna won't be getting along with that engaged marriage. Now now, that'd just be a whole breaking news to the two, with Tobirama not wanting or feeling the need to be involved in such affairs. Izuna, however, just wanted to get powerful to his limits alongside with his older brother; Madara. They could both be the most powerful Uchiha's ever known in History. He didn't want to be married. No. Not at all. Although it seems he has to once he faces his own father even agreeing to the marriage. Unfortunate, truly.












Not that sunny or hot any more, Izuna went out in the forest to train. And yes, he's informed Madara about it, as always. Later at night would be another Party of the Senju, and next week it was the other clans' turn after the Uchiha's at the next Saturday, they had turns for each 2 weeks after all..

As for Tobirama, he didn't really go out for a walk for fresh air, rather he went to his room at the Tower to finish what he was working on. The Police Forces were to be built later on for everyone's safety, and to keep spies or enemies away. Sure, he was working hard for it though he knew his limits even when he pushed himself through it. He should perhaps get more sleep like he did last night, it made him feel a whole lot better now. Yet again he had duties to fulfill.

Hashirama didn't inform the others nor Madara about the meeting yet as it was done and they were finished discussing. It would surely be a lot to take in, however that's just how it works. Tobirama and Izuna were in the age they would get married in, after all. He'll inform Madara about it sooner or later, making sure not to forget, of course.

Madara was in the Uchiha Compound in his house alongside with his father, Tajima Uchiha. Nothing else but silence between the two, being busy as they did their routines for the day, for whatever they needed or wanted to do.
Tajima still isn't on good terms with Butsuma Senju, yet they weren't on bad terms either. Neither are planning something or possibly anything towards the other, considering that no more conflict is needed, both clans would be erased if another war were to happen, this is serious business.
Something in between those, neutral. And of course, both fathers are aware of their son's meetings at times, why wouldn't they be? Thus about how their youngest sons needed to marry, in order to grow out the clan even more stronger clansmen, no one would want the bloodline be erased for eternity.

The Uchiha and Senju continue the bloodline without a problem.
Or so we think so?..
We'll know sooner or later, perhaps never.









Not so long later Madara and Hashirama would meet once again and hang out as usual once they're both done with their duties as leaders. Then that's where Hashirama decides to tell Madara about it, they were sitting on a bench in the Park, it was bright and quiet, with only the mere sounds of nature and their voices to be heard in their ears.

"That reminds me..." Hashirama started off, looking out at the sky for a bit. "What happened?" Madara rose a brow at the other man, his arms spread across the bench they were sitting on. "It's about the meeting I had with the elders," He looked back at Madara. "Continue." He was curious now. "Well. They wanted us to marry, but, you know I can't." Hashirama frowned. Madara felt another pang in his heart, one that felt stronger than the other one.

Remember that? That 'Madara is likely seeing someone else too'? That someone else is Hashirama.

"I can understand that. Anything else?" Hashirama paused, looking into Madara's eyes for a good hot second before eventually speaking again. "Oh, yes. It was decided that Tobirama and Izuna will marry, the marriage is already discussed of by the elders." How will Madara react to this? Will he be in shock? Should he be happy for his brother? He, however, seemed not to be quite surprised, though his eyes widened a bit and he felt another pang in his heart. Like an arrow. He was going to lose his brother to that man. He was going to lose his brother to a Senju? Why? Why did this have to happen? He didn't want to lose his one and only beloved otouto. No. Who knows how that man will treat Izuna? That man is always busy and so introverted, thus nearly killed Izuna. No. NO, just no.

"Madara? Are you alright?" Hashirama frowned, placing his hand on Madara's cheek. "..Yes. Just lost in thought." He had snapped back to reality by that mere, warm hand on his face that was Hashirama's, he didn't want him to let go. Not yet, at least. "Oh okay. What were you thinking about?" Now it was his turn to raise a brow, his frown fading away. "Nothing much of importance... Don't worry about it." He sighed as Hashirama removed his hand from his face.
