Hashirama's POV
It had been two weeks since I had woke up alone on the floor with barely even a hint that Madara had been there with me and she had managed to avoid me at every turn. At first I made excuses for her in my mind, just assuring myself that she had been busy until Tobirama came to me with documents that Madara had given him to pass to me, Madara would never voluntarily go to Tobirama since all they could manage to do was glare at each other, but considering that Tobirama didn't grumble about evil Uchiha I have to assume that Madara put in effort to be nice to Tobirama probably to ensure he would at the very least pass on the documents.
But today she wouldn't be able to avoid me, its the opening of the Bath house and we were both expected to be there as respected heads of our clans, decided to make head way before I was late I picked up a necklace I had brought the Uchiha and put it in my pocket so I could give it too her. I could already see a crowd gathering around the new bath house waiting for us to announce it open and ready for business. Jumping onto the stage I looked around to see only my brother there waiting for me, we still had a while at least, maybe she would still show her face. Slumping my shoulders and pouting I heard my brother grumble before feeling him smack the back of my head.
"Stop pouting you idiot, your meant to look like a leader" He growled barely looking at me as he tried to stand straight and keep his composure for the crowd.
"But brother I just wish she would show up, I haven't seen her beautiful face in so long"
"You talking about that Uchiha? I wouldn't call her beautiful, she is probably doing some work, something you could learn a thing or two about"
"You saw her last brother, tell me did the birds sing extra hard when she walked by, did she still smell of white lilies, did the sunshine shine extra bright when she smiled, tell me brother please" I wailed tugging on Tobirama's sleeve, I could see I was going to far and was embarrassing him when I could see him straining not to yell at me, if we wasn't in public I would have no doubt he would give me a piece of his mind.
"No brother, the birds flew away aware that a monster was in there midst, I wouldn't even stand close enough to that thing to sniff it but I am sure she probably smells of terror and stolen souls and I don't think she has the ability to smile" Okay maybe things were still frosty between them too.
Deciding that this was enough dilly dallying I decided to throw away my sad aura and start the opening ceremony, I could always try and catch the Uchiha later, she can't avoid me forever, I would just have to be more clever with my attempts to get her alone. As I step forward and addressed the crowd I saw a black blur out the corner of my eye, and glanced over to see Madara standing next to Tobirama, usually she would stand on the side closes to me but she seemed to be using Tobirama as a barrier between us, Tobirama gave her a quick sideways glance before looking at me questionably.
Madara POV
I had been waiting in a close by oak tree for Hashirama to finally start the ceremony, I didn't want to get there a moment too soon and give him a chance to drag me into conversation or touch me, I could see that Tobirama had registered my presence but he seems to be keeping it too himself, probably because he is happier with there being distance between me and Hashirama, either way I felt thankful towards him for no making Hashirama aware I was here, all the idiot would have had too do was look for my Chakra and he would have had me caught but he seemed to be too busy moping.
Finally joining them, I stood next to Tobirama and a little behind to keep the attention off myself, I saw Hashirama give me a quick glance and it caused my heart to flutter and to second guess my decision to come here today, the wind was tussling his hair in a way that most would find charming and if there was one talent that Hashirama had it was rally a crowd with one of his overly idealistic speeches. After sneaking out of Hashirama's home I had been making sure that our paths didn't cross, I even went as far as too search Tobirama out so I could pass on paperwork, Tobirama glares had become sceptical looks as he never questioned me but it was clear he wanted to and it didn't seem like Hashirama had told him either. Hearing a sigh next to me I looked up to see Tobirama giving me a sideways glance.
"Are you and Hashirama going to get over what ever is going on, this is getting tiring"
"No, these boundaries are necessary for us"
"You have know my brother long enough to know he doesn't do boundaries"
"what do you care Senju-brat, I would have thought this would have pleased you"
"I usually would be but he doesn't get any work done when he is moping"
"Hn this still sounds like a YOU problem"
"What are you two talking about" I heard Hashirama question softly behind me as I looked around I could see people dispersing while someone were going into the bathhouse to look around and test it, Tobirama had a small smirk on his face making it clear that he was just trying to distract me before I could slip away, sighing I turned around and faced Hashirama,
"We were just discussing your terrible work ethic, on that note I should leave you both to your work" Walking off I dodged Hashirama's attempt to swing his arm around my shoulders.
"MADARA!" I heard him yell as I continued to weave my way around the crowds.
"MMMAAAADDDDAAARRRAAAAA" Did that man have no shame, feel a hand grab my arm I was yanked into a hidden bit of the wooded bit by Hashirama, turning around to swing a quick punch his face I caught him and the right side of his face causing him to fly and giving me a chance to escape.
Time Skip
Getting into bed I sigh and tried to relax, today had been wasted on avoiding Hashirama as he didn't give up easy and I got no work done, it wasn't until Tobirama needed something that Hashirama relented in his chase and I was free to rest for the night. I am started to think Hashirama was enjoying this as if it was as game, he didn't seem at all deterred by my indifference. Drifting off I was jerk fully wake by the sensation of someone playing with my hair only to realise that I was being spooned and it didn't take a genius to work out that there was only one man stupid enough to even think about doing this.
"Stupid Senju you seem to have a death wish" he chuckled a deep and warm one, he has been smart enough to make sure my arms were pinned and his legs were tangled with mine from behind, I wasn't going to wriggle out of this one with easy, he was alternating between nuzzling my neck and placing kisses there, did the weeks of avoidance not tell this man anything!
"Senju what do you think your doing?"
"giving my maddie-chan some love"
"Did you not get the hint, I don't want your love, it was a one time thing" he paused in his administrations to my neck and placed his head cheek to cheek with me.
"You don't mean that"
"How have you not gotten the hint, I have been RUNNING away from you"
"mmmm but I know you like me back, you wouldn't let just anyone touch you like that, its kinda selfish of me but that is one of the things I like about you, that you reserve certain parts of yourself for only a select few, only a few people will ever truly know you and I kinda like that"
"where as your a personality slut spreading yourself all around town, laughing at just anyone's jokes. Is that what your saying?"
"When you say it like that it sounds so bad maddie-chan"
"No worse than breaking into someones bed so you can cuddle them I suppose" I said trying to put all my disapproval into that one sentence. While he went back to nibbling at my neck and trying to snuggle closer which at this point wasn't possible.
"I wouldn't have to if you didn't avoid me, leaving all alone without your touch, your warmth or your sexy tight little bottom" He said while pinching my nipple through my thin top which cause me to yelp and throw my head back, bashing him right in the nose, taking this momentary distraction I rolled out and grounded myself at the other end of the room to see Hashirama was only in his boxers. Presumptuous bastard!
"I think you should leave Hashi, I told you I don't want to continue this"
"But why? I know you feel like energy between us, we are always pulling together. We are not meant to be apart Uchiha" He said while making his way towards me, only to grab my hips and push them to his "We are meant to be connected Maddie" He finished grinding against me.
"Your just horny you dirty bastard, get out now"
"Tell me why your fighting this so much first, I know you enjoy our time together just as much as I"
"and they call Uchiha over confident and arrogant, I don't want to be with you or any man Hashirama, I am not here to be owned by a man as a beautiful bit of property and I don't want people thinking I only accepted this alliance because I couldn't resist the absolutely irresistible Hashirama Senju!"
"You think I am irresistible"
"Your always missing the point"
"But maddie what about all the beautiful little children that we are gonna have" He said earning a smack around the head.
"Oh and when did we decide we were having children"
"I just assumed it would happen eventually, I mean I don't remember wear protection the other night do you?"
"out"
"but maddie-chaaannnnnnn"
"GET OUT" he instantly went into a major sulk as he started slowly making his way to the door but this time I wouldn't fall for it, he can sulk and leave. I have said my piece. I had worked hard to make a name for myself, I wasn't becoming Hashirama's arm candy. Closing the door behind him it was only then that I took notice of a soft brush on my chest and realised I was wearing a necklace, That idiot must have slipped it onto me as I slept, it was a silver fox with ruby gems for eyes... damn it if I thought it was a little sweet.
