A number of things
Tobirama Senju knows a number of things. For example:
He has heard known for quite some time already that an image seen by the Sharingan is forever burnt into the mind of the seer. Sometimes he wishes he had one so he could burn certain images into his mind too. But only sometimes, for he fears the madness that comes with the eye
Tobirama Senju has a number of ideas. For example:
Uchihas in general are untrustworthy, but Madara Uchiha even more so. Madara who is also pretty and pitiful. Such an idiot, to think Hashirama would ever be his. Mito may have been the second course, but everybody knows that is the only one that really matters in a meal.
Tobirama Senju appreciates a number of things. For example:
Madara has made an art of his submission to Hashirama, but it is a private art. Something angry and destructive as everything with that man. Tobirama takes his time, once in a while, to see if there is any submission there at all. It angers him, for it means that devil and his brother are in the same page.
Tobirama Senju has seen a number of things. For example:
His brother and the Uchiha demon have had something going one since forever. He has seen them time and time again, poor fools believing they were discreet, Uchiha Madara impaling himself in his brother's cock, lids heavy with lust and nails bloody and a rare smile on his lips.
Tobirama Senju refuses to acknowledge a number of things. For example:
That the relationship he has been a witness to for so many years can be built on something more than just hate and lust. Because maybe he can negate anything else exists on Hashirama's part, but is not so easy to ignore the Uchiha raging when they come from a mission gone wrong and Hashirama is badly bruised. It was only a miscalculation with the mokuton and a mild fall, his brother tells. Neither of them is buying his bullshit, for his arm is broken and he hasn't got enough chakra left to treat it. He knows Madara could treat it, but the man refuses with a glare when he suggests it.
"That will teach him to be careful", he spits angrily and leaves the room.
Tobirama Senju discovers a number of things. For example:
He finds himself unable of denying their relationship any longer the day after Madara leaves the village. But then it is already too late to mend things and to fill the gaps his brother never gave attention to.
Tobirama Senju knows good men with critical failures. For example:
His brother was that kind of man. The one so preoccupied with the greater picture and the good in the world that he couldn't see the men bleeding on his carpet. He knows that is, more that anything, what he has in common with Madara.
(He no longer has the strength to despise it, even if he has it to despise everything else).
