"bruises?" hashirama's eyes widened at what his wife told him "yes, her body was full of them. Most of them we're on her forearms. And when i asked her about it she panicked and came up with the excuse of her playing outside made her get all those bruises"

"should we ask the okkotsu clan?" hashirama asked "the okkotsu clan are people who get offended easily, and they are quite the big amount of people so if they get offended the downside would be that they leave konoha for good" mito crossed her arms

"what should we do?..."

Tobirama listened closely to their conversation from outside the room as he leaned against the wall right beside the door
He opened his eyes and stared at the floor in front of him, he was deep in thought but eventually pushed himself from the wall and made his way to the room you were staying in

He slowly opened the door, trying to make no noise at all that might wake you up
When he got to the futon you were resting in, he sat beside you and looked at you peacefully sleeping

"any monsters that come your way will be dealt with as long as you tell me about it" he muttered as he reached his hand out and tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear

He removed his hand from you and brought it back to his side, he leaned his back against the wall and closed his eyes "onii-chan will protect you from the monsters" those words left his lips and reached your ears like a melody

Your eyes were wide open as tears fell from them
...🝮༻✽༺🝮...
Hashirama leaned his cheek against his knuckles as he thought about how he answered the angered man

He tapped his finger against the wood of his desk and sighed

"she is someone of whom i owe a great amount to, let me pay in her stead"

He took something out from his pocket and stared at it

"let us take a picture of you, y/n-chan~" hashirama whined and you pouted
"no! Click" you stared at the traitor with wide eyes

"this will fit the job" tobirama gave the photo to his brother "thank you, it is fitting indeed!"

"i wouldve wanted to see you become a mother but i suppose such a thing is something i'll never witness"

"you speak as if you will die tomorrow" a low voice grumbled

"madara" hashirama leaned back on his chair and spoke few words to his childhood rival

His lips moved with every letter he spoke

Madara's eyes widened in the slightest "you ask of a big favour from me hashirama"
"yes, i know. You will earn my gratitude if you do it"

The ravenette looked away "curse you, hashirama"
The brunette chuckled "thank you, madara"
...🝮༻✽༺🝮...
Tobirama finished his job and wiped the crimson liquid off his hands, he felt a tingle in his nose and sneezed
He pulled something from his pocket and when his gaze inspected the photo and sweet smile formed on his lips

"are my eyes deceiving me? Is the tobirama really smiling? At a~ a..."
The bandit looked over tobirama's shoulder and saw a picture of you when you were a child
"a little girl?-" was the last thing he said before his head rolled off his shoulders

Tobirama stepped on the bandit's head "do not question my smile when it comes to my happiness" he gritted his teeth and his eyes killed the man over and over again in his mind

Tobirama froze once he heard the conversation happening nearby
"i heard there's a new tiramisu shop open, wanna go try it out?"
"yeah sure! Lets head there now"

tobirama looked at the picture of you once more before leaving the forest and walking behind the two girls. His eyebrows furrowed in determination "tiramisu for squirt" he muttered

He quickly made his way to the stall and checked the menu "dango..."

"i only like the pink and white dango caus' they're the only pretty colours"

"and what would you like sir?" the shop keeper asked

Tobirama looked at them with a scary look and started ordering
"two slices of tiramisu without the coffee powder, please replace it with cocoa powder instead. Three sticks of dango, only the pink and white mochi please. One large bowl of melted sugar covered fruits please-" he froze mid sentence once he remembered something

"i dont like blackberries..."

"no blackberries. Also please get one strawberry and cream sandwich. One blueberry and cream sandwich. No crust,"

"i really like icecream!"
"one serving of each ice cream flavour please, and make sure it is soft served instead of hard"

The other customers stared at him continuing to order with wide eyes (ʘ ʖ̯ ʘ)
"is he unable to cook desserts? Why is he ordering so much?" a woman whispered to her friend

Tobirama froze from shock as the colour drained from his face
"anything else sir?" he raised a hand and shook his head "...thank you"
