Original ask: Is Tobirama in love with Sakura? OMG, this fic (you should give the story a name) keeps getting better and better! Please, keep writing it :) *Thank you*
"Not one for parties?"
Sakura glances up from her seated position, grinning. "That's the question I should be asking you."
She pats the ground beside her, smiling as Tobirama sits down with a preternatural grace.
Tobirama surveys the area, staring down upon the revelries taking place beneath them. Sakura has found a plateaued section of the mountain range that makes a natural border to the village. It is beautiful up here, the night sky emblazoned clear above everything they have struggled for years to protect.
"Did you ever think we'd make it this far?" Sakura asks, voice barely discernable with the loud music bellowing below.
"It was a fool's dream," Tobirama says before sighing. "Since that fool is my brother, I suppose it isn't truly all that surprising."
Sakura hums. "The dream is far from being fully realized. We'll still need to fight for this."
Tobirama glances askance at her, taking in the lights from the fireworks and bonfires as they splay across her face. "That's a pessimistic take on it."
"Realistic I'd say. I'm not the one with grand, idealistic goals. That's Hashirama." And yet her soft smile belies the words. Tobirama feels something squeeze within his chest. Oh. "I'm just the enforcer."
"Between you and me, we'll hopefully keep Hashirama grounded," Tobirama says.
Sakura snorts, turning to him and offering him her spiced cider. "Partners then."
Tobirama's heart swoops, kicking up into a faster rate. He grabs the beverage, taking a swig. "Partners."
