  “Izuna-oji-san…”
Izuna’s eyes opened at Tobi’s voice. He carefully untangled himself from Tobirama and rolled onto his side to look at his nephew.
“What’re you doing up, Tobi-kun?” Izuna whispered, mindful of the sleeping Senju. “It’s way past your bedtime.”
Tobi shook his head and climbed up onto the bed, snuggling in close to his uncle. “Tobi… miss tou-san… Where is tou-san…?”
Izuna bit his lip and tried not to let the tears well up again – but it seemed that he had no control as tears spilt down his cheeks once more. “…Nii-san… had to go somewhere…”
“When will tou-san be home?” Tobi was just so… innocent, and it broke Izuna’s heart.
“…I don’t know, Tobi-kun… I just don’t know… Let’s try and go back to sleep, okay? Aniki wouldn’t want us to be sleepy tomorrow.”
“Okay... Goodnight, oji-san… I love you…”
“I love you, too, Tobi-kun.”
Izuna had closed his eyes once again, feeling Tobi – who was now cuddled up against him – trying to get himself comfortable again. He was almost asleep once again when Tobi tugged on his hair, asking for attention once again.
Izuna grunted and opened his eyes, looking down at his beloved nephew.
“Izuna-oji-san?” Tobi whispered, looking up at his uncle with fear on his face. “…Tou-san… still loves us, right?”
“Of course he does.” Izuna whispered back. He patted Tobi’s hair. “He loves the three of you so much. All he wants if you guys to be happy and safe. He couldn’t live if something happened to any of you.”
“So why isn’t tou-san here now?” Tobi’s eyes filled with tears as he awaited his uncle’s answer.
“…He… just isn’t, Tobi-kun… Please, go to sleep… Please…”
Tobi nodded. He got as close as he possibly could to Izuna before he closed his eyes once again. This time, both Uchiha had finally fallen asleep again.
-XX-
The following day, Hashirama had taken Izuna to see Madara while Tobirama stayed behind with the kids. The two were currently sitting with Madara in the CCU, heartbroken by the sight before them.
The poor Uchiha was hooked up to a heart monitor – which only proved how slowly his heart was beating. No one had ever seen him look so pale and weak before, either. Madara was clearly still exhausted and it didn’t help Hashirama or Izuna’s worries with doctors bustling around him all the time, checking up on him.
Madara reached out and took his brother’s hand weakly before turning to the older Senju and looking at him with fatigued eyes.
“Are my kids okay…?” Madara panted out, still having trouble with his breathing.
Hashirama nodded, smiling in reassurance. “They’re fine, Madara-chan. I bought them a puppy and they absolutely love her. I’ve got Itachi-kun now, too.”
Madara groaned. “A puppy…? Hashirama, you know that I can’t… afford a dog… I can’t even… take care of my own family…”
Izuna let out a choked sob at these words. He squeezed Madara’s hand tightly. He knew that what his brother had just said was true, and that hurt more than anything. Hashirama reached out and laid a hand on his shoulder.
“Madara-chan, you won’t be spending a cent on that dog.” Hashirama said sternly. “She’s my responsibility and I don’t want you to put your hard-earned money towards her with everything else that’s going on for you.”
Madara chuckled weakly and nodded. “When you use that tone… there’s no arguing with you…”
“Nii-san, how do you feel?” Izuna asked as tears ran down his cheeks. “I hate to see you like this… I miss you so much…”
Madara groaned and shook his head. “I feel horrible… My main concern is my kids, though… Senju… I want you to promise me that if anything ever happens… to Izuna or I… I want you to be there for them and take care of them… Please… It’ll mean the world to me to know that they’ll be in great hands…”
Hashirama laughed. “Madara-chan, you know that I’ll take care of those kids any time you need it. If anything ever happened to one of you, I’d be the first to force assistance upon the other. If something happened to both of you, I’d take those kids without hesitation, Madara-chan.”
Madara smiled weakly. “Thanks, Hashirama…”
“You’re so very welcome. There is actually something I want to talk to you about, Madara-chan. I want you to get out of that dingy little cubicle you call a house and move back in with me and my family. Please, Madara-chan – it hurts me to see you stuck there – you need to get out. Not only for yourself, but for your kids.”
Madara groaned and shook his head weakly before closing his eyes. “No…”
“Madara-chan, I know that you’re only saying no because you’re thinking about us, but you have to believe me when I say that you need to get out of there if you want to help Itachi-kun.”
Madara’s eyes widened and he looked up at his best friend, deep concern in his eyes. “Itachi-kun?”
“Yes. I went to see him last night, Madara-chan. You need to understand that what he allows you to see and what he truly feels are two completely different things. That boy is suffering in such ways it’s unfathomable to me. I know that you love Itachi and want the best for him, and this is why you need to get out of that house.”
“But…” Madara’s eyes welled up with tears. He groaned in discomfort and moved a hand to his chest.
“Madara-chan, don't get so worked up.” Hashirama said in concern, moving immediately to Madara’s side. He stroked the other man’s hair soothingly. “It won’t do you any good. Just trust me when I say that you need to get out and come live with us, Madara-chan. I don't care about how much it will cost us -- you and your family are my top priorities. I know it’s hard for you to do this for many reasons, Madara-chan, but you need to stop thinking about how it will affect me and my own family, and start thinking about you and your own. If you want Itachi-kun to get better, this is the only way.”
“…” Madara still didn’t look very convinced.
“It will be good for Izuna-kun, too…” Hashirama said softly, glancing over at the youngest male who was currently crying heavily into his hands.
“…” Madara groaned again before nodding hesitantly – if anything could get through to the older Uchiha, it was his brother’s wellbeing. “…Okay… We’ll do it…”
Hashirama smiled and reached out, placing a soft kiss on the Uchiha’s cheek. “I’ll go and start packing for you, okay? Izuna-kun, would you like to stay here a little more or come help me?”
Izuna bit his lip as he wiped at his eyes. He looked over at Hashirama before looking back at his brother. He wanted to stay with his brother -- but he didn't want to burden Hashirama with their belongings.
Madara reached out and nudged his brother’s hand. He smiled.
“Go with him…” Madara said softly. “It’s okay… I love you, otouto. Say hello to our kids for me, okay?”
Izuna smiled weakly and nodded. He kissed his brother’s temple and brushed hair from the older Uchiha’s face before standing up and following after Hashirama, trying his best to stop crying.
--LINEBREAK--
It took almost two weeks before Madara was able to come back home, but that was mainly because he was having complications and the medicine wasn’t helping. Now that the complications were gone for the most part, Madara seemed much better.
Tobirama and Izuna had picked Madara up from the hospital and were currently driving back to the Senju’s home. It was quiet during the car ride, but everyone was just relieved that Madara was going to be okay. There were a lot of things that he wanted to ask about his family, but he waited until they were almost home before asking.
“How is Itachi-kun?” Madara asked softly as they pulled into their street. “Is he better?”
Tobirama shook his head. “Not really, actually. He has improved, though, but he’s still…”
Madara sighed before smiling weakly. “I trust Senju and if he said he will help Itachi, I believe in him.”
Tobirama and Izuna smiled softly before nodding. “Yes… I know he will.”
It was silent again as Tobirama pulled the car into the driveway and turned it off. Izuna helped Madara out of the car and into the house. Hashirama and the two younger kids came to greet Madara in excitement the second they were in the door.
“Tou-san!” Tobi screamed happily, running to his father and hugging him tightly.
“Oji-san is back!” Sasuke squeaked happily, joining the hug.
“Boys!” Madara exclaimed, hugging the two firmly. “I missed you both so much!”
“Madara-chan, welcome home.” Hashirama smiled warmly. “Izuna will take you upstairs to your room when you are ready, won’t you, Izu-kun?”
“Of course, Hashi-kun!” Izuna said proudly, running to Hashirama and hugging him. “Thank you so much for letting us live with you, again!”
Hashirama chuckled and hugged back. “You’re very welcome, Izuna-kun. Tobi, please go and inform Itachi-kun that Madara-chan is back.”
Tobirama nodded and left.
Izuna was quick to tug on Madara’s sleeve in excitement, wanting them to see their new room.
Already Madara was happy. He got to share a room with his brother once again -- with a bed -- and they would no longer go hungry or live in the cold or unbearable heat. They would be supported in every way by their best friends – just like in the past.
Madara knew that he should’ve done this a long time ago, but the thought of burdening Hashirama and his brother was too painful for him to even bring up the subject. He just hoped that Hashirama and his own family could still live normally -- even with them there, too. The last thing he wanted to do was impose.
