CHAPTER TWENTYFOUR

I want to see you

"Damn you!" a loud yell woke up Tobirama. His father had been arfueing once again with someone throught the cell phone. "If you don't bring me the production until tomorrow, I will find you and things won't finish good"

The albino frowned. His father had been screaming so loud, even threathing. He prefcetkly knew that the Senju's business was actually corpuption. Tobi sleepely got up from his bed. About to open the door, someone else did.

"Tobe, come on, breakfast time. Dad is impatient.." Hashirama said smiling awkardly. Tobirama nodded.

Usually when it was breakfast, both of the brothers would have talking point and communicate ceaseless. But right now since Butsuma was there, nothing could be heard, unless silence.

"So dad, how is mom?" Hashi asked akwardly.

"Fine. She's fine" a cold answer came back, as their father continued on chewing his food. Hashirama looked over his brother as the albino shrug his shoulders. He moved his lips, talking without voice "Wha-te-ver" and rolled his eyes,

"and" both boys jumped in surprise by the sudden talk of their father. "Hashirama... how about your relationship with that Uchiha brat?"

"It's Madara dad.." Hashirama answered quietly.

"Yea, whatever" rolling his eyes, Butsuma took a sip from his juice.

"It's perfect. We get along very well" the bron haired male blushed as his father narrowed his eyes.

"Don't get too happy. Once Tobirama graduates, you're both moving to Europe with us" their father threathened. Hashirama's frowned.

"They can always keep in touch. Distance is not an obstacle for the ones who truly love eachother" Tobirama encouraged his big brother.

Butsuma laughed "Yea, right. Once you move to us, Hashirama will be married for the Uzumaki's family daughter. Business marriadge."

Hashirama wide opened his eyes, sharply standing from his seat. "What?!"

"You heard me boy"

"Father, I am not a kid anymore, and you can't use your own sons as toys for your money fetish"

Tobirama chuckled, almost going to choke with his water but stoped as soon as he saw his father's deadly glare.

"Don't raise your voice to the one who taught you to talk!" Butsuma yelled.

"You learnt us something? You consider yourself as a father?! So lame! You have no right to call yourslef parent. Parent is the one who took care of their kids. It's not just banging!" Hashirama argued.

"Excuse me?!" it was going to turn into a fight. Tobirama had to do something.

"Ani-ja, father... please"

"Tch!" Hashirama hissed, leaving the table. It was unusuall for him to get mad, he actually never gets mad. Only for the one's he truly loved.

Tobirama sighed.

"And you Tobirama?!" Butsuma snapped, making the albino bitting the insides of his cheeck in pressure "What do you have with the little one?!"

Tobrama took a deap breath. "What little one?" he acted dumb.

"Tch! You're such a coward. I already know. Peeople have seen you with him"

Tobi closed his eyes. He hated for being a member of this big family. Everyone gossiped about the Senju and tried to make bad of them.

"Do whatever you want. But if you follow your brother's steps, you can consider me as not your father. I won't allow having two gay sons"

Tobirama frowned. His brother was right. Parent's are not the one who create you, but the one who take care of you and Butsuma was nothing close to the statement.

The white-haired male politely nodded, obeying and acting like a puppy.

Uchiha's house*

"Hey, nii-san. Weak up" Izuna slightly pushed Madara by the shoulder.

"Mmppphh.." he murmured in his sleepy voice "What's the time?"

"9 am"

"Why so early?" he complained.,

"Just take the pill" the raven gave him the medicine as Dara swallowed it. The older turned his back and continued on his sleep routine.

Izuna smiled slightly.

He walked away from his brother room. Zu was about to go to the hospitl. The results should have been already ready. He put on some shoes and his favourite black jacket,

Izuna took a big inxale before entering.

"I hope my assuptions are wrong" he whispered to himself.

"The next one. Izuna Uchiha?" a nurse said.

Zu faised his hand.

"Come on, Mr. Mitsuki is awaiting you"

"Oh Hello Izuna. I doubt you're Madara's younger brother." the man smiled politely.

"Yes"

"Here" the doctor gave Izuna some papers "We have both good and bad news"

Zu swallowe, tightening the grip on the papers.

"I shall being with the bad one"

Izuna nodded.

"Your brother is sick. Sick of cancer."

The raven bit his lip. Same as their mother.

"It is located in the stomach. Might be inheritet or not, we still do now know. I checked on her too and here come the good news. Madara's tumor is bengin. A surgery will fix everything"

A bright smile appeared on Izuna's face.

"We had found it on time. But firstly, you have to encourage him that he won't die. He must lose no hope. I have written the rost of it in the pappers: the sympthoms, the rexabiliation and everything else. If you still have any questions, please do not hesitate and call me. I have to go now. The nurse will change my shift." the doctor smiled before leaving.

Izuna was left speechles. He felt his whole body getting warm. The little Uchiha was happy, really happy. Everything had gone so perfectly.

First Tobirama, now Madara. The raven got out of the room, hurrying to leave a message to the Senju.

Tobirama just finished washing the dishesh as his phone vibrated.

He moved to the table, taking it.

Message.

He opened it.

Izuna.

I wanna see you tonight.

Tobirama's heart skipt a beat as he bit the insides of his cheecks. A wide smile appeared on his face.

With shaking fingers, he fastly answred.

Wait me in front of the bakery, around 9pm. I love you.

Zu giggled. I love you.

The raven stared to the message for few minutes. He loved expecially the last part of it.

Singing himself a happy song, he headed back home.

"Izuna, where have you been?!"

"Nii-san!" the raven threwhimself in Madara's hug.

"Hey, hey!" Dara frowned. Zu pulled away holding his brother by the shoulders.

"Why are you smiling like an idiot?" Madara raised an eyebrow.

"You won't die!" Zu said enthusiastically.

"Eh?!" the older Uchiha got onfuced.

"Look!" Izuna gave him the papers. "Look by yoursef!" theraven pointed some of the lined with his fingers.

Madara's eyes got wide open. A small smile crossed his lips "That explains why'd puke and have stomachaches, causing me insomnia."

"Yes! Yes!" Izuna jumped around, clapping with his hands like a kid.

"Wow, you are so happy. As if you were the sick one"

Zu frowned. "I just love you too much to lose you

Madara sighed "Told you that nothing bad will happen. Oh and.. you spent your whole day in the hospital? It's passing noon" Madara asked, looking at the clock.

Izuna blushed "I was shopping..."

"You blushing...?" Madara titled his head.

"I am going on a date tonight "

Madara narrowed his eyes "Watch out. I might have accepted Tobirama and your relationmship, but that does not mean he's my most favourite person"

Zu giggled "I didn't even mention his name. Anyways. I am going to change myself. You can take care of yoursel, right?" Izuna asked Madara as his brother watched with dumb face,

"I am not kid"

Izuna laughed once again as he went to hsi room. Madara smiled at himself. He loved seeing his precious otouto so happy.

"Nhgggh!" Izuna had spent hour chosing which new clothes to put on. "I will be late!" he hissed. The raven had spent so much time whether he shall wear a T-shirt or a blouse.

"Okay, okay. I think that's good enough" he looked himself on the mirror "Damn nice" he complimented himself.

"Hmm... now which shoes shall i put on... and my hair.. and parfume. God! I will be late!" he started to panic once again, pulling hairs in anger.

"Just don't sweat Izuna, because you will have to take a shower second time and reundo all" he rolled his eyes, frowing , scolding himself.

"Tobi, you going?" Hashirama asked as the albino nodded. "But isn't it a bit early?"

"I .. want to walk for a while" Tobirama lied. He just wanted to buy some present for his Uchiha.

Hashirama nodded. "Have fun, see ya" and the albino walked away.

"Oookay! I am ready" Izuna looked at the lock "Just in time" he put on a big amount of parfume on hismelf and checked his hair for like the 10th time "Staggering!" It was completely soft and silky. The raven winked at his reflection in the mirror

"Sometimes i can't believe how beautiful I am" and he laughed.

Tobirama's attention was caught by something shiney at the flea-market.

"Can i take closer look?" Tobirama demanded politely.

"Sure son" the old man gave him the necklce.

"Beautiful..." he whishpered. It was a necklacke with an olive pendant.

"Is it really gold?" he raised an eyebrow.

The man nodded "Yes, the olive is made by emerald and the two leaves by it's sides are golden, so is and the thread."

"I will take it" Tobirama gave the money to the man.

"God bless you my son"

"Bye" Tobirama waved politely

Izuna was already at the place, waiting for his lover to ome. The night had already started. Izuna looked as his phone. He had arrived even earlier. Zu sighed.

"I will be late as always.." Tobi whishpered. He thought of the necklace which was in his pocket. Izuna would like it so much. The albino smiled.

"Tobi, where are you..." Zu whishpered to himself, looking nonstop as his phone. The Senju had been late with 15 teen minutes. No messages, no calls. Izuna put his hands in the pockets, shivering from cold.

"Nght... i shall have put a scarf or something like that.." he whined "I will freeze..."

Tobirama was about to cross the road and the he was going to be at the back of the bakery. No soon when he stepped on the road, he saw a light, blocking his view. Some car appeared in front of him from no where, peeking from the corner of the building with max speed.

The albino didn't have enough time to react and...

*boom!"

"Stupid Senju!" Izuna frowned, cursing under his breath. A hour and half had passed since the appointment's time.

"He dumped me" the raven said slenching his teeths.

"Damn you. So you actually listen to your dad and use me just for infromation?" he had called his boyfriend million times, but no answers came back. Maybe e had forgotten about the date , or fallen asleep? Or? Izu's eyes got teary. He had spent so much hours on preparing to look good and now everything was wasted. He had been so enthusiasted, only only because of the date, but and because his brother wasn't going to die.

"Whatever..." he murmured, heading back home. His phone rang. He fastly took it from his pocked, hoping it's Tobirama.

His smile dissapeared, being replaced by frown.

"Yes aniki?"

"Izuna, where are you?!" Dara asked almost screaming.

"In front of the bakery, but Tobi didn't come."he said with sad and depressing tone "He dump-"

"You fool! Tobirama is in the hospital. He had got hit by a car" Dara yelled throught the phone.

Izuna's eyes got wide open. Heartbeat rising, his palms sweating, stomach shrinking.

"Wh-wh...at" was all he managed to say.
