CHAPTER TWENTYFIFHT

Truth

Izuna slowly entered the hospital. He saw his brother near the entrance door.

"Izuna..." Madara whishpered, looking at his otouto with sad expression. The raven's eyes were teary.

"Nii-san..." he whimped "where's Tobi?" he asked, rubbing his nose.

"Room B2" Madara leaned his back to the wall, with crossed arms in front of his chest. Sighing, he watched Izuna running in attempt to find the room. It was obvious how much he had loved Tobirama.

Izuna jumped in surprise when he was Buttsuma Senju in front of the door. He was cursing on the phone someone. Guess it was a bussines talk, since they mentioned a big amount of money.

The raven slowly walked towards the room. Butsuma glared over the teenager and moved away, giving way for the raven to enter.

Izuna ignored the man, taking a deep breath. He closed his eyes, putting the hand on the lock.

I hope you're fine. I hope're alright, because if I lose you, i wouldn't know what to do...

Zu was scared but managed to overcome his fear and pushed the door lock, entering the room. His eyes got wide opened.

Tobirama was gine. He had laid in the hospital bed, having few bangades covering his face. He was talking with Hashirama.

"Hm?" the albino raised an eyebrow "Izuna!" he gasped.

"Tobi!" Zu screamed, hurrying to go near his boyfriend.

"I will leave you guys" Hashirama said but got ignored. He quetly chuckled and left the room. These two were so adorable.

Izuna bit his lip, standing beside the bed.

"Sit" Tobirama smiled weakly. Izuna, who was left speechles, sat quietly on the chair, his face gazing the floor as the cloth on his jeans got gripped by his fingers.

Tobirama streched his hand in attempt to stroke Zu's head. He felt how soft his hair actually was.

Seemes like he had prepared himself good for tonight. Good job Tobi, you fucked up everything once again.

Few tear drops fell on the ground. The raven was crying slightly, eyes shut.

"You fool!" he managed to say through whimps "You have no idea how scared you had made me!" it was kind of scolding.

Tobirama smiled. Izuna was really sweet.

"I am sorry.." the albino apologized, moving his arm to Izuna;s cheeck in order to cup it. The raven slowly lifted his head, making eye contact. Tobirama bit the insides of his cheeck. He hated when those beautiful onyx eyes of his would cry.

"I am fine... please.. don't cry" he whishpered, pulling Izuna into a tight hug. The raven answered it, tightening more. He bruried hsi face in Tobirama's shoulder, continueint to cry slightly. The albino stroked his hair in order to calm him. He sighed.

Izuna pulled away when he felt something hold being wrapped around his neck. With teary eyes, he looked at some necklace.

"What's that?" he asked.

"It was supposed to be given tonight... but since-"

"Tobi, it's wonderful..!" Izuna happily answered. New tears appeared in his eyes, Tobirama giggled, wipping away the tears with his second arm.

"Come on, calm down already" he said with calm and loving tone.

"I was... just too scared.. wha-what if i had lost you?" he hicced "First Madara-nii... and now you.. we Uchihas maybe do bring death whithing ourselv-"

"Shhh..." Tobirama put a finger in front of Izuna's lip, making him to shut up. "That's bullshit. Even if it was true, it would be worth dying for you" he joked.

The little Uchiha smiled weakly as the last tear rolled down his red cheecks. He dried them with one of his arms and looked down to the gift he had just received. It was really beautiful and it seemed expensive. A symbol of their love? Olive... the olive grove.

Izuna chuckled.

"Feeling better?" Tobi asked smiling.

Zu nodded, threwing himself ocne again into Tobi's embrance, giggling. The albino wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's waist as Izuna wrapped his owns around Tobirama's neck. The Senju kissed him on the cheeck. "I love you"

"Love you too.." Zu answered back.

"At least now we both have bruises" Tobi joked as Izuna laughed.

"Do they hurt?" Izuna asked still being held in the hug. Tobirama shook his head in rejection.

"Let's re-do our date" he suggested.

Izuna nodded "Yes, let's red it" he shoved himself more into the hug, not wanting to get apart from his lover. It felt so comfortable and amazing. The raven felt protected and calm. He was badly in love with that stupid Senju and couldn't do anything about it.

*Madara and Hashirama at the hospital coridoor*

"Your brother knows the truth about your father's death" Hashirama said, sitting on a chair in front of the room. Madara sighed with closed eyes, He had been standing, his back leaning on the wall with arms crossed in front of his chest.

"I know. I will have to talk with him about it"

"I am sorry" Hashirama apologized. It was his fault for Izuna finding out the truth. Well... not personally his, but hsi father. If Butsuma had his mouth shut up, things would be different,

"It's okay" "Madara smiled back at his lover, encourageing him "It was about time for him to know the truth"

Hashirama smniled back when he was about to say something, Izuna walked out of the room.

Both males moved their looks to the young Uchiha. His eyes and cheecks had been red due to crying.

"Hashirama-san, you can enter" Izuna politely said as he rubbed his face in his sleeve, Hashirama stood up and entered the room once again.

Izuna lifted his head and looked at his brother.

"We need to talk" the older spoke.

"Izuna..."

Zu was patiently waiting for his brother to talk. "Yes?"

"When you were little and our parents were alive, you know we had a compaly, which was a rival to the Senju's, right?"

Izuna slightly nodded, confused by wgat his brother meant.

"Keeping up with such big and fameous bussines is hard for sure and a lot of pressure is followed by. Aa tought hand is needed"

Izuna raised an eyebrow, confused even more.

"Once dad has a lot of mney, he'd spend them on different women each night and cheat on mom. She had been dvoted to him and once she found out about it, she was broken down. Remember when i would always take you out for a walk or tell you to go out and play with your fiends, spending time as much as possible?"

Izuna nodded,

"During that time our parents would fight and mom would cry. Back then and the bussiness got unstabled. With time, mom got sick of cancer due to the pressure. Dad found solution from the problems in coccaine and became a drug addict, causing him problems with the police"

Izuna's eyes got wide open. He had always remebered his family like the good and loving one. Their father would bring money home, and mother would take care of them, spoiling the two Uchihas.

"As soon as mother died, father realized his mistake but was already too addicted to drugs and made suicide. The company was crushed but we had enough money left for the following years. To get by"

Izuna closed his eyes, taking a deep inxale. Everything was clear to him now. The words their mother would say in her dreams and the reason for her sickness. Izuna never knew the reason for the cancer, but he knew it had appeared with time, so it means something must have unlocked it.

"I am sorry" the raven apologised. Madara raised an eyebrow.

"You'd always say I was strong and the most damaged, but you kept hidint the truth from me.." Izuna walked closed to Madara, pulling him into a tight hug.

The elder Uchiha smiled, feeling relieved.

"We must start your rexabilitation soon"

Zu reminded his brother.

"We will" the elder raven asnwered back, smiling to the caring otouto he had "We will..."
