Contemplation
Senju Hashirama was at a lost.
His brother. His rash beloved brother, who always got the both of them into trouble when they were younger, was being difficult.
Provided he could understand his brother's instinctual need to protect the newest member of Konohagakure, given the dark-haired boy's petite figure, beautifully androgynous features and attractive aura that practically screamed 'protect me!'.......
What was he thinking about again?
Hashirama sighed, rubbing his temples.
From his peripheral vision, he caught sight of his beloved wife settling a cup of tea beside him.
"Still worrying over the Daimyou's request, dear?" she asked soothingly.
If only things were that easy, Hashirama thought to himself, sighing heavily.
Four months ago, his younger brother had returned from his usual patrol in a uncharacteristic panic, arms filled with an unconscious young man that looked as if he could keel over any second. They gave him immediate medical attention, a home and even citizenship.
How could he not? Especially when his wife had adopted him the moment she laid eyes on his forlorn figure, sitting there all alone, so small among the white sheets of the hospital bed. Just like many of the other female attendants of the hospital. And the sparse citizens of the newly-dubbed Konoha (short for Konohagakure). Few can actually resist the boy's unerring charms, it seems.
However, through it all, the young man just nodded in submissive acceptance. As if he could not be bothered to care. To tell the truth, that scared Hashirama a little. Because this nonchalance meant that he did not care whether he lived or not. And he could see the immediate attachment that his little brother had formed with the new citizen. If anything happened to this young man, it might break Tobirama who had never truly been in love before.
Hashirama sighed again.
Yes, it was quite obvious to those who knew his little brother that he was oh-so-smitten by the dark-haired young man with those mesmerizing green eyes.
The Shodaime of Konoha hoped fervently that things won't turn out as bleak as he thought they would become.
Filing the thoughts of his little brother's lovelife away, he looked down at the agreement letter that the Uchiha clan had sent.
It was time to get back to work.
