...༻❁🝮❁༺...
You were known to only show three emotions, known to represent one thing and known to be multiple. All of them being only bad things

Known to show only anger, disgust and mischief. Known to represent ugliness and known to be the ugliest woman in konoha, the manliest woman, the most aggressive person and so much more

"Tobirama, be honest with me" the man with porcelain hair hummed "am I ugly?" Tobi Rama sighed and placed his chopsticks down on the counter

"Why? We have already talked about this, if you want me to I'll get rid of all the beauty standards in konoha" he tapped your bowl of ramen that was left untouched by you while he almost was done with his

You placed your cheek against your knuckles "yeah but... even if there are no beauty standards the preferences of others will remain and so will their thoughts on me"
"So what if they think you're ugly, there's a lot of high influenced men that think you're good looking, and that is what you call good tastes" he tucked a strand of your hair behind your ear

"I personally think you're the most gorgeous girl I've ever seen" his lips curved into the slightest of a smile "and don't get me wrong, I say this with pure intentions"

"I want you to find yourself a lover that can protect you better than I can, one that thinks you're more beautiful in their mind than mine, one that's able to provide for you better than I"

Your eyes widened and you chuckled softly "I don't think I'll be able to find that"
Tobirama picked up his chopsticks and grabbed some of your noodles
"I heard you moved in with the uchiha " you soon opened your mouth when you noticed his intentions and he fed you the noodles
You sweatdropped once you remembered the burning hatred your elder brother had for the uchiha "are you mad?" Tobirama paused for a moment and glanced at your face

You seemed worried and scared of his answer, so he lied "no, at the very least I know you will be safe there"

You exhaled and your whole body relaxed it's muscles
Tobirama didn't want you anywhere near the uchiha and anyone who had ties to them
But with the smallest amount of respect Madara still shared with hashirama, the snow haired man knew the clan leader of the uchiha will provide safety for you

"Why didn't you just come to me?" Tobirama asked you
You looked away with a saddened expression "I don't know, I guess I just didn't want to bother you"

Tobirama's face filled with irk marks as he banged his fist onto your head
You winced in pain
"Why do you speak of bothering me when you are the one whose company I enjoy the most?" He pinched his nosebridge

"The days where you visit my house, are the days that all my burdens disappear into thin air and are the days that my house becomes a home" he turned to look at you in the eyes

"Your presence brings warmth to any space no matter how large or how tall it is"
He placed a few bills onto the counter and took your hand to help you get off the stool

"I say this with the intention of letting you know how truly amazing you are in everything and not only beauty" he gently held your hand as the both of you walked through the busy crowds under the moonlit skies

"In my eyes, you are still the child I met that day and that won't change unless your view on yourself does" he brought you somewhere where no one could see you and brought you into a hug
Your face was buried into the crook of his neck
"No matter what, I will always love and care for you"
Your eyes widened

"I will always be your onii-chan and I can promise you that because I have been for longer than you can imagine" he held you tighter

Tears fell from your eyes as they stayed wide open as his words, your fingers dug into the fabric of his shirt
"You will always be my little girl, my little sister that is super strong for no reason and has a sharp tongue" he chuckled

"And when someone is talking badly about your looks or if you are feeling down you can remember what I'm about to say..."

Your eyes softened at his words and they soon closed
"Why do you say and do all this for me?" You asked as you sobbed
"What did I even do to deserve your love?" Tobirama smiled and placed a hand on the back of your head

"For my burden of life to be lifted whenever you are around and for you to be just like me, a man who is super strong and has a sharp tongue is enough for me"
He moved his hand in a petting motion to soothe you

"And for you to love me when I do not deserve it means so much more than you could ever think.." his smile faded

"To love a man that has killed too many and to call him your big brother is a stupid choice but I am grateful that you were stupid enough to make that choice"

"You, as a person is enough for you to be loved"

He pulled you away from his neck to look at your face filled with tears
"I watch you grow up and when I look back at it I am proud of who you were and who you have become" he wiped away your tears with his thumb

He brought his lips to your forehead and laid a short kiss on it

Normally a brother and sister would argue ninety nine percent of the time but Tobirama just didn't have the gut in him to even cause you the slightest of pain, even if you cuss at him or bully him, his patience remains thick if he thinks of how you are his little sister
