HashiMada One Shots

Special: October 23

Written for Hashirama's birthday!

Fluff w/ mild amount of cursing (from Hashirama's dirty little mouth).

"Oh crap."

"Anija?" Tobirama raised his brow due to his older brother's sudden and not-so-silent murmur.

"Is there something you want to share with the group, Hashirama-sama?" asked an elderly male who was the head of the Sarutobi clan.

All of the leaders of the ally clans of the Senju were currently having a meeting. They were the ones who agreed on settling in Konoha. Among the concerns regarding the Village, they were deliberating on what to do with the Tailed Beasts. The agenda became much more complicated than what the Senju brothers had initially expected though, and so their monthly meeting which usually lasts for only an hour lasted until late in the evening.

"U—uh. Nothing, nothing," Hashirama answered sheepishly, trying his best to neglect the knowing eyes thrown at him.

During the last half hour, he stopped paying mind on what's going on with the meeting. His gaze went back and forth outside the window, his mind wandered off to somewhere although admittedly feeling a bit guilty. He's the Hokage; he must pay full attention to everything regarding the Village.

But the meeting started to bore him to the fullest. Fortunately, there's Tobirama. The younger Senju would surely relay all the important details later.

Madara have excused himself and already left an hour ago. He told Hashirama that Izuna has summoned him to an urgent meeting.

That's when Hashirama's mind started to fly off to somewhere. This morning, he woke up feeling somewhat off. He's bothered because it seemed as though there's something he was forgetting about and he just couldn't remember it, no matter how hard he tried to. All he knew was that it's something truly important—

—and it was only now that he finally remembered what it was—today is Madara's birthday—!

—and he didn't even greeted him—!

—and he doesn't have a gift yet!

Hashirama panicked. It was late in the evening now and no doubt all the stores in the village were already closed. Given the little time left, he couldn't make something customized and decent either.

He fumbled uncomfortably in his seat. Tobirama noticed this and whispered to his ear, carefully so that the other men in the room won't hear, but definitely annoyed because of his older brother's antics.

"What's wrong with you, anija?!"

Hashirama stiffened. He wasn't aware that someone noticed his uneasiness.

"It's Madara's birthday," he whispered, but apparently, he said it so quietly that even Tobirama wasn't able to hear it.

"What?!"

"It's—"

"Hashirama-sama, do you agree with the decision?" came the question of the Nara clan head.

Hashirama had no idea what decision the man was pertaining to, but he badly wants the meeting to end already so that he could go to Madara.

"Yes. Yes, I agree," he replied way too confidently that Tobirama raised his brow. Hashirama knew that his younger brother knew that he had no idea what he had just agreed onto.

The meeting was adjourned then, fortunately for Hashirama. He quickly got up from his chair and was ready to use the window as the faster route to the Uchiha compound. However, it would be extremely unprofessional (yeah, despite his earlier actions) to bolt out when the other clan heads haven't even gotten out the room, plus, he couldn't ignore Tobirama's unsettling stare anymore, so he asked, "Hey Tobi, what was that decision?"
