"Madara" the voice came back and this time it was louder and more familiar
Madara opened his eyes and saw hints of h/c
"Did you lose consciousness again?" She asked with a smile
One of her hands was rubbing his head gently as he just laid there with his head on her lap

"Are you tired? You can stay like this for a while then"

"Madara-sama..."

"Madara-sama"
Madara inhaled and opened his eyes
He saw you with a panicked expression on your face
"Thank the lord you're awake" you sighed in relief

"Did I lose consciousness?" You nodded "yeah" an evil grin formed on your lips

You brought your face closer to his "are you tired madara-sama? If you are you should give me a promotion since I'm letting you rest your head on my lap"

"lift your head to the sky and there i will be"

Madara left you in silence, only staring at you with half lidded eyes
You waved a hand in front of his face "hello? Is your life flashing before your eyes?"

Madara closed his eyes and started snoring softly
You sighed

Something you never would've guessed is that madara would trust you so easily especially when you had just had properly met him a few days ago and and because he is a man whos constantly targeted

You had started to unconsciously rub his head as you were in deep thought

You snapped out of it and looked down
Madara's eyebrows were knitted and his body was stiff even as he slept
A smile made its way on your lips and you stared at his face, the face that you had started crushing on long ago

"You wanna marry him for me?"

"Marriage is meant to be for love, not for power"

You rubbed the back of your neck with the hand that wasn't petting Madara's head

"How about you madara-sama, would you marry for power or for love?"
It was a dumb question, obviously he would marry for power. You don't even think he's capable of love or just showing affection in the slightest. I mean he was a cold hearted and scary man after all, right?

You pushed back the hair that was covering his forehead to look at his face

Were you able to call yourself lucky for being able to be so close to him like this when the both of you barely know each other?

"Why do you care so much about men?"

You pressed your lips into a thin line as the imagine of him asking you that reappeared in your mind

"I don't think I care about just any man's opinion on me at all" you said to no one in particular
"Maybe just yours"

You laughed dryly
"I don't know why I'm saying this, maybe it's because you're asleep or maybe it's because I'm feeling a little bold right now but..."

His eyebrows furrowed but you had your eyes closed as you spoke

"Madara uchiha, did I ever tell you that I want to marry you?"
You smiled sheepishly and opened your eyes but you swore your heart skipped a beat

Madara had a smirk on his lips "my maid wants to marry me? How intriguing"

Your eyes widened and you opened your mouth to speak yet no words came out
"You..."

Madara sat up and looked at you straight in the eyes
He brought his face closer to yours and suddenly his eyes went red
"I'm sure you've heard of the uchiha's kekkai genkai; the sharingan, right?" You were in awe with his eyes

"Are you sure you want to marry someone like me, okkotsu?"
You chuckled "who wouldn't?" Madara grabbed your face, squishing your cheeks at the same time

"I'm sure any sane woman would keep their distance from me yet you just want to get closer" you removed the grip he had on your face and stood up

"Then I must be crazy, insane even"
You sighed and rubbed the back of your neck
"Although I'm not sure that even you would want to accept me as your wife"
Madara stood up and dusted off his pants

"Why are you so self conscious about yourself?"
You scoffed "do you not hear what people say when I even step foot outside my house? That's quite the skill"

"Okkotsu" he called out while shrugging his yukata onto his shoulders
"Yeah?" You looked at him "I trust you enough to be around me while I am sleeping" he slid the door open

You quickly followed after him "but why? Even I wouldn't trust you to be around me while I'm sleeping!"

"That is because of a good reason, I am a dangerous man and you are a woman who does not even appreciate herself.. what can you really do to harm me?"

Your eyebrow twitched "I am a strong woman I can easily break your back!"
Madara scoffed "really?"
You grinned "really"
You caught up to madara and walked beside him
"Okkotsu," he stopped in his tracks and you raised an eyebrow
"Yeah?"
He glanced at you from the corner of his eye
"Do you still wish to be a mother?" You rubbed the back of your neck at his question

"I wanna try putting myself together first you know?"
Madara looked away "cus' I don't want to have a child when I'm not okay... mentally" you kicked the air out of boredom

The sky was now dark, you and madara were lit up by the moonlight and you looked up at the stars

"And you, what do you want madara-sama?" You asked without looking at him
An pregnant silence fell upon the both of you as madara thought of his

"as what you want comes in different ways and forms" she hummed "you may find it in a friend, a lover, a family or maybe even a hobby."
Madara looked at you once more but this time you werent aware of it
He hasn't even properly known you for over a week as before it were just glances he would share with you but he found himself feeling almost blissful around you

You were a sight for sore eyes, and it was ironic that at times when he would overuse his sharingan his eyes would be sore
