Chapter Extra 7: Mother

Everyone says mother knows best. Mikoto thinks that mother pretends to know best. Things like aspirations and future plans, Mikoto knew it was best to let the child decide while guiding them to overcome the darkness of the society. She had always dreamt having one of her boys asking for love help. Knowing her husband, she knew they would never go to him for help. In fact, she was the one who confessed to that rock of a man. Her own parents questioned her taste but seeing her little boys, Mikoto was proud of her choice in man.

But to be asked for help for one of the most controversial topics of this century, Mikoto wasn't sure what was best for her children. Sure, same-sex marriage had slowly been accepted by some countries or states or at least by the younger generations. But incest! It was fine not having a grandchild, Mikoto was open to having an adopted grandchild but now she couldn't even have a daughter-in-law. At least, Fugaku was unaware of their sons' ambiguous flirting. Considering how that man was dense towards her obvious flirting and only realised she liked him because she confessed in his face, Mikoto realised maybe she should take a page from her husband's book and live in blissful ignorance.

The day the boys went beyond light touches and kisses was a day Mikoto would let her future self think about it. Hopefully, the boys would keep to themselves until Sasuke turned eighteen… or maybe twenty. She hoped the boys considered adopting in future. Mikoto really wanted to have another little Sasuke and Itachi to dress up. In the end, Mikoto really did not know what's best for her children but she knew separating them would only caused great sadness. Plus, shouldn't she be happy her boys had such great relationship with each other?
