Madara walked back into the estate silently and saw that you were still in the kitchen, kneading dough "what are you making hina?" He asked as he made his way behind you and wrapped his arms around your waist "bread to go along with the soup"

Madara rested his chin on top of your head and watched as your hands worked with the dough skillfully, why was it that he thought even your hands were beautiful?
"How was training? And why isn't sakusa inside yet?"
You asked him and Madara closed his eyes "he is weak" he simply replied and you sighed "well, what can you really expect? He wasn't necessarily born in an environment that gave him the need to fight to survive, like yours and maybe a little bit like mine"

"He is my son, he is an uchiha and his mother is an important woman throughout the three nations" you placed the dough balls onto a tray

"You said it Madara, he is your son, our son. I know you're not able to show him you love him and neither practically everyone else in this world but" you turned around once you washed your hands

"He is family Madara, it's important that you at least try and show him you love him in some way" your eyebrows curved in worry
Madara was silent, he didn't know how to reply to you. You had a point, you always did, you knew a lot about these type of things

"Sakusa is sensitive, and that's okay. It just means he need more reassurance than others and I know you can't give that but even just a pat on the back helps you know? To let him know you care"

You closed your eyes and wrapped your arms around his neck, swaying with him to the music the silence gave "you can't really expect someone to just know you love them if you constantly just shut them out and not even try to show them that you do."

Madara leaned his forehead against yours "I believe you said you would tell them for me" you played with a strand of his hair and hummed "I did but, when I do it just sounds as if I'm trying to make it so that you and sakusa's relationship doesn't fall to ruins"

"So from now on, I want you to try, for your son" you smiled at him and he dropped his head onto your shoulder "I'm afraid I love you too much" he muttered and you laughed

Madara started kissing your neck up until your cheek while the both of you swayed together

Azumi watched from the dining table as the both of you did your minutely activities as she ate the fruit you had cut up for her. Was her brother struggling with her father?

She plopped the last grape into her mouth before happily skipping to the courtyard
"Kaka~" she sing talked with a mischievous grin on her face

She saw her twin brother sitting on the grass with a depressing aura to him
"What's up with you?" "He said..." he started as Azumi sat down beside him

"Hes... basically disappointed in me cause' I'm weak" he gloomily said
Azumi noticed the tears brimming in sakusa's eyes and she sighed
"But papa is cold to the whole world expect for mommy, it's just the way he is"

She looked at him and saw him staring back at her with tears falling from his eyes
"You,me,mommy we all know he loves us... he just, he just isn't able to express it with words"

"But when has he ever expressed his love for me in any way?"
"Well he trained with you in the first place didnt he?"

Sakusa sniffled and sighed "that's only because okaa-san suggested it, and you know how he is. He can't say no to her, I feel like whenever he does something that is the slightest nice it was okaa-san who told him to do it"

His head drooped from the sadness he had in his heart "it's as if okaa-san is the only parent that actually loves me"

Azumi knocked her brother in the head with her fist "you've got a point with papa's inability of showing love with words but don't you understand?" Sakusa only looked at his sister with a raised eyebrow

"Understand what?"

"Papa chose us over his shinobi career. Like when he stayed with mommy while she was pregnant to make sure he was safe because they were both people with huge bounties on their heads and her being pregnant would only make it worse"

"he chose to learn to have common respect for the man who killed his brother so that he was able to marry mommy and have us"

"He gave us the childhood he never had, the parents he never had, the love he never received" Azumi pointed to the stars that illuminated the night sky

"He's said it so many times, he said that mommy is his sun and we are his stars"

"When you're not there and the people in the academy make fun of you for being sensitive he defends you, once he said '

"I am sakusa's father, his mother is the most important woman in the three villages and what are your parents? What special blood do you have that makes you special enough to talk badly about my son?"

Azumi exhaled and looked at your brother "it's hard, I know, but someday if you pay attention to the small things he does, you'll see that he really does love you"

"And mommy once told me that papa struggles showing love because he didn't grow up with it, he didn't grow up with parents that were affectionate towards him and he didn't show affection towards him. And when his brothers died it was hard for him to open up his heart again"

"She said that papa went through so much, and his inability to show love with words is the aftermath of that trauma. I know it's hard but it's hard for him as well, but he really is trying to soften up a bit, with mommy's help of course."

"Me, you, mommy and papa are a family, all four of us. And that is a bond that no one can break"
