Eyes

When Hari first arrived in Konoha, not a night passed by without him screaming in terror as nightmares plagued his rest. To make matters worse, often than not, he could not be awaken from the horrors of his own mind. His carers, staff nurses with graveyard shifts, could only watch helplessly as the broken young man cried and pleaded in his sleep. Some even cried with him, remembering their own pain and sorrow in losing their loved ones.

Though none really knew the contents of his dreams, they had no doubt that the loss of his (alleged) village had struck the young man hard. For weeks, the dark-haired young man continued to suffer from sleepless nights and even after his wounds were healed, his mind continued to plague him with terrfying images of his forgotten past.

Then, Miaka brought the newly adopted Souma Hari back to the Senju household to live with the remaining Souma family, which only consist of 3 others; herself, her 19-year-old cousin and her niece whose parents just passed away mere months ago.

Still, the nightmares persisted, expecially dreams of laughing red eyes as pain wracked through his body and death screamed within his ears, within his mind.

Deprived of his sleep, Hari would sit in the garden, forever staring at the ever-changing moon, begging for forgiveness and redemption. Until finally, when Tobirama could not continue watching silently in the shadows anymore, he came out to sit with the mourning war victim, willing Hari to notice the unspoken comfort he was offering.

Sometimes, Hari would drift off to sleep, too tired to even dream. Those nights, Tobirama would hold him close and wish upon the glittering stars.

On some, Hari would awaken the whole house with screams, further made worse when he first catches sight of Tobirama. It took the silver-hair Shinobi a few days of Hari not meeting his eyes before he realizes that it was his eyes that scares Hari the most.

It saddened him so he tried to keep away from the green-eyed man but it was to no avail. He soon found himself gravitating towards the dark-haired young man once again, a silent shadow.

But his efforts were not all in vain.

For it wasn't long after, that Hari once again started looking into his eyes, searching for the differences between the one who had tormented him all his life and the one that had silently vowed to love him all his life.

It wasn't hard. Not at all.

In his mind, Voldemort had eyes the colour of blood, like those he spilled with his own hands. But Tobi, Tobirama had eyes the colour of red wine, rich and luscious. It was nothing at all like Voldemort's power hungry ones for it was filled with warmth, love and hope, everything that Tom Riddle was not.

So strong was Hari's relieve that all he could do was lay in Tobirama's embrace till his fears allayed and his dreams slowly but surely disappeared.

Then he met Uchiha Madara, and his dreams returned.
