sleep beside me
Tobirama's snarl was flat out vicious when he dropped it down next to Madara, "For fuck-sake Dara, I don't know why the hell I put up with this insanity, the bullshit that I have to deal with every fucking day! One of your idiotic clansmen set the tower on fire three times Madara, three times, and do you know who gets called into the deal with it? The only water user in the village of course. I seriously have to find more people with my elemental infinity, this ridiculous.” He sighed, slumping backward next to his lover “I mean of course there's that Nara woman but if she makes one more pass at me while inviting me to play chess I’m going to kill someone, preferably her. Didn't even get to spend any time with my kids today; I mean it's good because the building of the academy is going pretty well but not the way I would have liked and –“ he cut himself off with a smile and a glance at Madara, “and I’ve already told you about that. Hashirama's just more of a nightmare to deal with every day- I wish you would do something about that, but I get it- and today he was in rare form, I could strangle him and I just-“ he scrubbed at his face “sorry, he’s your friend you probably don’t want to listen to me whine about him, he just…you think I’m not a terrible person right?” Tobirama could hear a soft huff of air next to him and sighed again, he had a hard time remembering sometimes whether or not Madara had actually told him that but he, well, he shouldn’t be disturbing Madara’s sleep with this.
“Kagami did so well one his mission today- once I could escape the paper monsters and check- and Hikaku was very proud of his new uniform, strutting around and finally meeting people’s eyes again, I was nice to see him so sure of himself and the clan again- I told you that setting them up with the police would help balance power and given them something to be proud of” and he had, several times he had argued with Madara about this being the right thing for the Uchiha; but with Tobirama set to take up the hat after Hashirama- he was going to be so bad at it, if there was anyone else that could do it he would run from the Hokage’s office as fast as he could, he didn’t look forward to failing in anything and he would in that- and therefore cementing the Senju’s position of power something needed to be done to balance the power and give the Uchiha power in the village again. “I hope I’m not making a mistake” he whispered into the silent night, Madara still and peaceful next to him.
Tobirama bit his lip, he needed sleep, and stood slowly, glancing fondly at Madara next to him and passing his hand over the brilliant white stone, “Sleep well love” he whispered and reluctantly slipped away and back to the lights of the village Madara looked out over (and would for eternity).
