Chapter 6

2 Weeks later.

Madara lifted a huge piece of plank wood and handed it to his friend. He then proceeded to hand it to another man to build a similar looking building to the Uchiha homes.

Madara would sort out the good wood that would be able to be used to construct a stable home. He then gave it to Sully for him to pass it on.

"I don't approve of your relationship" Sully spoke honestly. Madara shrugged. The other Uchiha said, disappointed. "I must say Madara, I am disappointed"

"You don't know him" Madara snorted.

"Madara, He's a Senju!" the other man snapped. Madara almost dropped the wood but Sully caught it quickly, glancing at Madara with an annoyed stare. Madara apologised quietly.

"I'm your friend Madara, I just care about you. I see you as my younger brother and I know whets best for you ok" Sully sympathized, talking a little gentler.

Madara nodded, not talking. Sully was slightly true. Sully had be like an older brother to him and he must of known something. But he knew Hashirama. He was different...

Sully sighed. "I just think he'll hurt you. You should listen to me Madara"

Madara ignored the words that Sully said and just continued to go through the wood piles. Sully growled at the gesture but decided to ignore it as he spat on the ground angrily.

A few hours after of sorting out material and putting things together, the Uchiha working there were allowed to head back to their cabins for rest. It was the last shift everyone had for the day. Madara walked home with his (so called) friend. The two didn't talk much because of their previous complications. They both stopped at cabin 3 which was where Sully lived. They both stood there for a minute or less before Sully said goodbye.

"Alright, walk safe and watch out for any Senju's. Even that rat of a boyfriend" Sully spat crankily.

Madara's eye twitched angrily. No one is allowed to talk about his lover like that. Before Sully could walk off, who wasn't even waiting for a response. Madara quickly reached up and gave the taller man a hard slap to the face. Sully gasped, not expecting that from the younger, who never showed aggressive behaviour to any Uchiha before. He was shocked, and touch his own cheek as it stung from the slap he deserved. He stared at his friend before turning around and walking into the cabin wordlessly. Madara stood there, anger and surprised. Surprised at himself to be honest.

He snapped himself out of his thoughts and started to head back to his own cabin. It was about 7:20 pm and was getting pretty dark. He hurried back to his own home which was the building with a number 7 imprinted. He walked in and everyone greeted him happily but it was very short lasting since everyone was tired. Madara flopped down on a mattress with a older lady who didn't seem to care at all. Everyone always had to bunk with another Uchiha. Before he could get comfy, the trap door opened itself and Izuna came out of it for a few seconds before beckoning Madara to follow him.

"I want to talk to you Madara" Izuna said emotionlessly which and totally unusual for the younger, usually hyperactive kid.

Madara blinked before getting off the bed and following his brother into the underground chamber below.

The room was rather small but liveable. Izuna said down on the smaller mattress that barely fit two people. Madara sat on it with him being able to fit because they were petite little kids.

"What's wrong Izuna" Madara asked worried.

Izuna waited for a moment before talking. "Nii-san... Hashirama spoke to me today" he said.

Madara didn't say anything back, not understanding what he was trying to say.

"He told me that he had asked you to move into his apartment with him" Izuna toned

Madara heart stopped for a second before looking away from Izuna. What would he say? Is he angry at me or Hashi?

Izuna continued to speak during Madara's code of silence.

"Why didn't you tell me? Or anyone else?" Izuna asked upset. It seem like Madara was planning to move out without telling him.

"I-I didnt tell you because im not moving ok"

"What?"

"There was no reason to tell you otouto, im staying here"

Izuna was surprised. He didn't expect that. "But, why wouldn't you move out?"

"Izuna, i can't leave you. I'm not going to abandon you"

"Madara... Hashirama came to me and ask why you were avoiding it and I didn't know what he was talking about then he told me that he asked you to move in with him two weeks ago. He was upset that you didn't even talk to us about it. He thought that you didn't want to move in with him." Izuna explained. He wanted Madara to move in with him. He knew that Hashirama would look after Madara and he wanted Madara to have the best. "I was also upset you didn't talk ot me about it. I'm your brother..."

Madara felt tears spring to his eyes. "I'm sorry Otouto, i didn't know you would react and I cant move out, I can't leave you" Madara said, almost pleading.

Izuna pulled his brother into a hug and whispered. "Just go talk to Hashirama, you can't keep hurting him"

Madara nodded as tears fell down his face, moistening his rosy cheeks. "I will brother..."

"Thank you Oniichan" Izuna said smiling

That night, Madara decided to stay underground with Izuna and sleep with him. It was a tad uncomfortable but worth it. The next day was very hot and Madara was keen to meet up with Hashirama today. He was going to tell Hashirama why he couldn't move in with him. He hoped that Hashirama wouldn't be angry with him. He had kitchen duty today and he was rushing so he could have some extra time to see Hashirama before he had to move on with his next work which was helping a few guys to make some furniture that the Senju wanted. They never got anything that made besides a few bad chairs, extra bed frames and houses.

He finished the dishes and looked at the time. He had finished twenty minutes early. He then rushed out of the kitchen and headed for the suites. He had to make sure no Senju saw him so he wouldn't get into trouble for being out of bounds.

He made it to the door and knocked nervously.
