"Here," snapped the white haired Senju, arm tensely out stretched with a blush colored flower pinched between his fingers. He hadn't known what type it was but the color and the look had reminded him so much of Sakura he couldn't just leave it behind after seeing it. It was just little less romantic since everything reminded him Sakura, he doubted he could stop thinking about her even if tried really, really, really hard too.
"This is for me?" Sakura questioned with wide green eyes. Even as she asked the question her hand was reaching out, gently plucking the delicate flower from his scarred hands. Tobirama was surprised he hadn't crushed the small thing, something so delicate shouldn't in his possession for too long. He worried he'd crush the cherry blossom in his home one day. Sakura brought the small flower to her nose, inhaling the scent he hadn't bothered to smell. "It's lovely," the smile she bestowed him made the embarrassment of carrying the flower through Konoha worth it. All the stares and small giggles worth every excruciating moment of it
He huffed out a breath of air before shoving his hands into his pockets, relaxing his shoulders, and kicking the dirt beneath his feet childishly; he did his best to hide the blush she unknowingly caused. "I'm glad you like it." honestly, he was. Nothing pleased Tobirama more than seeing something he did bring a smile to Sakura's face, because the smile she now wore was all because of him.
"What type of flower is this?" He shrugged his shoulders because he truly didn't know. "Oh well," she said with a giggle that she muffled with her hand, "beauty is beauty even without a name."
Tobirama only found one thing truly beautiful and yes, she did have a name. Haruno Sakura. Sakura was an extraordinary creature, a god in her own right. She was innocent and oblivious and sweet and kind and everything perfect in the world. She was passion and furry and aggression, she wasn't someone you could easily take advantage of. Haruno Sakura gave life, healing those on the brink of death; she could just as easily take the life of those around her, damning them to a death without honor, without love. Tobirama was glad he hadn't been the one to fight against the fierce girl even when they were enemies. Just one look at her had told him that he would have lost and not because she was stronger than him but because he couldn't hurt something so perfect.
"Such a poetic way of talking," the deep voice grated on Tobirama's nerves. The prideful voice easily over shadowing the honey voice of the girl he had fallen for.
Sakura turned around, bestowing the towering Uchiha with another of her smiles. Tobirama scowled at the sight, "Madara!" Sakura said happily, "I thought you were out on a mission!"
So had Tobirama.
"I was," red eyes darted to the white haired male, Madara smirking smugly as he took a step closer to Sakura. "I couldn't miss such a day as today though."
Tobirama cocked his head and smiled, forcing himself to step closer to Sakura. "I'm sure she would have been fine if you had." He stated easily, "I didn't leave, after all." Tobirama had gone through a lot of trouble to have any obstacles sent out on missions. Sakura's teammates, his brothers, the Uchiha's, and even any males and females showing a hint of interest in the caring doctor. Which just so happen the be nearly the whole of the ninja population and close to half of all the patients Sakura had ever treated.
Sakura laughed and shook her head, taking the males jealous feud as a clash of personalities. Sakura didn't understand how wrapped around her finger she had them, along with the rest of Konoha. She placed a gentle hand on each of their shoulder, "A girl shouldn't have to spend her birthday on her own." Tobirama and Madara looked away from each other, eyes focusing on Sakura. "Would you two like to join me for dinner?"
She could see the fight that was about to began, she quickly added that she would be making dinner and they were welcome to visit her home for the occasion. Tobirama sneered at Madara, the Uchiha matching the same expression. Sakura didn't invite many to her residence and neither of the males were willing to fight and ruin the opportunity they were offered.
Sakura laughed and told them a time as she bid them goodbye, she was sure tonight was going to be fun and unforgettable. Little did the two domineering males know that the whole of group of Sakura's friend would be attending, too.
