Never Meant To Be

'Nother Day

With Tobirama and the other dancers, well, let's say it's not going good for them. They're exhausted after that performance they just did. Who wouldn't be? It was going on for six whole hours, and their bodies were merely on autopilot mode, the moves they made on their body instinct. Especially the musicians, they've also been going at it for several hours.

Tobirama nearly blacked out, and so did most of the dancers, the musicians were just tired, really, in general but it's like being at your lowest and you feel lazy straight to the point you don't even want to make any movements.

Without further ado, everyone started to clean up the place and then they went back to their respective houses, changing into a more comfortable clothing or their usual clothes for the day, and slept. Peacefully.



Anywho, this part wasn't written, where Hashirama informs Tobirama about the meeting he had with the elders.


❗❗❗
FLASHBACK!

"So how did it go?" Tobirama begun, he was infront of his own desk in his room, writing something on a scroll with a brush, his gaze down, waiting for him to tell the details. "Not good, brother." Hashirama frowned, "The elders have arranged a marriage, Tobirama. I tried to argue with them about it, but they refused, as it's to strengthen the Senju and Uchiha alliance even more so. I know you won't like this, but it's arranged you'll be marrying Izuna within a week." Tobirama's eye twitched hearing that, gripping the brushes' handle. "You're joking, Aniki. You must be." This. Couldn't be it. Whether it be for the two clans to proper, this was not by consent, and way too sudden.  "I'm sorry, brother. I'm not. It's for unity with the Uchiha's, and for the next generation to be stronger." Hashirama frowned even further, walking to his brother and sitting down behind him, just near.

"Preposterous.." Tobirama sighed, putting the brush aside and crossing his arms in frustration. He was stubborn like this, he knew he'd be marrying that damn Uchiha either way, whether he likes it or not.



And so on it went, with Hashirama confronting Tobirama and all.



PRESENT TIME!

The next morning later, everything was cleaned up and all good. Everyone woke up later on, and did their usual things. The sellers in shops opening up and preparing their ingredients and  equipment at dawn, despite it being still dark as the sun hasn't arose yet. That was just how it is. Hashirama was still sleeping, he'll be awake in a bit, as for Tobirama, well, he's readying himself for the day, currently bathing himself, something he does every other day, if everyday that'd ruin his daily hygiene and he's wary of that. The Uchiha brothers, and everybody else that's sleeping were just there. Izuna and the others wake up later around 5 in the morning, something Shinobi are used to, waking up early in the morning. Madara will probably tell him about what Hashirama told him the other day later on, as it was necessary Izuna knew as soon as possible, despite it being a breaking news.



In the streets of Konohagakure you'll see civilians here and there prepping up, most are cooking, some were checking objects whether they've been untouched or not. It was a peaceful day, and mind you not it wasn't always like this, times where the Senju and Uchiha brothers met up in the morning it always has Tobirama and Izuna fighting, arguing, or either asserting dominance, their rivalry still not wavering even after everything that happened the past two months. And oh boy, they were not getting along well, albeit they were playful with each other once. Only once. Don't you even mention it.




..Minutes later Tobirama was done bathing, and of course, he got out of the water and dried himself. He brought spare clothes to change into, and he changed into them, using his flying raijin to go back to his room. He had few scrolls on his desk, all of them rolled up with a seal. He thought of maybe working on finishing them, but this early? That'll break his mind, and he knew that, so he instead decided on training himself with some clones, even if there was peace now, or so they call it, doesn't mean he was going to skip training.

By this time it was already 5 in the morning and the sun was beginning to rise, and you already know it, Izuna woke up, from a very strange dream that he suddenly forgot that he had. It was very blurry, but eh, what was important in the dream? None. He sighs, sitting up and stretching his arms. Another day another discovery comes waiting for Izuna. And for your information, yes, he forgot what happened last night, despite it being imprinted in his memory, it was in the back of his mind, where he kept all the least important stuff he knew...
