Forms of peace

...༻❁🝮❁༺...
You gasped as soon as you opened your eyes and you were back into Madara's office
A shaky breath made its way to your ears and you looked to see Madara with a unexplainable expression written all over his face, it was a mix of hunger,confusion and surprise

His only visible eye was wide open "you-"
You held a book in your hand and you seemed even more surprised yourself, did your dream actually happened? Why was he so surprised?

Madara took three steps forwards and all of a sudden the book you were holding dropped to the floor with a thud

Madara had his arms around you, he dug his face into the crook of your neck and he held you so tightly you were having trouble breathing

Your eyes softened, so what you saw really did happen... that would mean that now Madara had waited twenty years for you

And he that just for a simple woman he met some random day, it would blow someone's mind if they got told that the Madara did such a thing; waiting for half of his life now for a woman he met in one day and disappeared the same day

Madara dropped to his knee's and placed his head against your stomach as his arms were wrapped around the middle of your legs

Your whole face was red from all the touching from your month old crush
"Okkotsu y/n" he called out

Your fingers twitched from the urge of running them through his hair but you weren't even able to comprehend all that has happened today, even to you it was a shocker. You didn't even know how this even happened along with that dream of yours but you guessed that it was a blessing from miya

If you were guessing, she was probably looking at you and Madara with a big sly grin on her face

You felt a hand on your shoulder and a pair of lips brushing against your ear
"Make sure to bring me a bottle of sake" the voice said

You frantically looked around for any sign of an extra person but you found no one
It was as if all the sadness you still held for your elder sisters absence disappeared into thin air and now all that was left was annoyance that she created

"Madara-sama..." you sighed, it's been a while since he's been all over you now and it was embarrassing you "please stand up, someone like you shouldn't be on their knees like this

Madara stood up and cupped your face, making your cheeks squish against the palm of his head "you kept your promise and I swore on my life that I will marry you, I am your soon to be husband now-" you blinked a few times before pushing him off of you

"Wait- listen, I didn't even expect that to be real! Before you were all distant and cold and now you're all over me as if I'm worth millions of gold!" You waved your hands in front of you

Your heart was pounding against your ribs when you noticed Madara's confusion
"Especially if it's you that wants to marry me!"

You placed a hand over your chest, where your heart is placed and gripped the fabric covering it. Even though you created this yourself you never expected it to actually be real, you didn't even know what was happening and it shocked you that you really went back and time, and something else that shocked you was Madara!

You get that he was young back then but wouldn't he want more proof I really came from the future? He believe me so easily! And he liked me so easily! You didn't get what was happening! If this whole ordeal was a story you would've guessed it was meant to be a slowburn romance but it's one of those books where the first chapter they kiss!

It is true that you've been crushing on him for a while but you never would've guessed something would actually form out of it

Your internal rambling was interrupted when a sudden thought popped up in your head like a lightbulb

"You are not just the average woman you can find in konoha"
He said this without the dream even happening
"you look different from the other women I've seen"
And he said this with the dream happening, but at that time it was in the dream

It confused you but at the same time, you realized that some of what he said was genuine... not even at the cause of the promise made in the dream, he said similar things at two different times

"I get it, you somehow went back into time" Madara spoke up and folded his arms over his chest "that's why I didn't remember meeting you when I was younger before now"

You dipped your head downwards "I don't know how I did it, and I'm sorry for messing with your memories"

Madara chuckled "what difference does it make? I thought the same of you before you went back in time" your soul left your body at his words, this was too much too handle. Madara speaking and acting like this was just so out of the ordinary that it felt weird

He sighed and his arms fell back to his sides "I don't know what to think of this either but I swore on my life I would make you my wife" you balled your hands into fists

"But I'm not pretty- nor will I be able to give you positive outlook when you marry me, you do realize that right?" Your eyebrows curved in worry

Madara placed his forehead against yours and with his hand, he gently rubbed your head
"And what makes you believe people see me is such a light? Even my own village fears me and that explains a lot about me"

"You kept your promise the moment you stood up against me without fearing me or what I could do to you and that's- that's something I look for in a woman"

"For someone to be able to stand tall without fearing even death is a gift"

"You are strong and you are stubborn but I found my peace within myself when you are around, you are strong yet your touch is the most delicate. You speak of yourself without truly seeing what you do to those around you"

"Besides your drunkard of a sister you never let someone's influence in society affect how you are around them. Just like how you don't fear me and you genuinely believe I would never hurt you it's the same with me thinking you are not bad looking at all, I genuinely believe that the one to make that dream of yours will be me as you have already made mine come true without doing anything"

You chuckled but then it turned into ugly sobs "this is just like the books I've read!"
