– One year and six months later –
Tobi had been placed into therapy alongside with Zetsu. Their therapist had decided that it would be best to face the maker of their trauma once more to help with the healing process.
So now, both Zetsu and Tobi sat anxiously in the visiting room of Konoha Mental Institution with Itachi, fidgeting in worry.
Itachi held his cousin’s hand but Zetsu didn’t want to be touched – having been so horribly sexually and physically abused for years had made Zetsu fear physical contact. The young Uchiha was quivering, trying his best to hold back tears. He wanted Deidara to have come, but the blonde couldn’t get time off work.
“Shh…” Itachi soothed as he moved hair out of Tobi’s face. “It’ll be alright – he can’t hurt you again.”
“There he is…” Zetsu gulped as a familiar figure entered the room.
Madara strode towards them with pride and a smile on his face. He sat at the table and grinned widely when he observed his visitors.
“It’s been a long time.” Madara’s eyes shone with excitement. “I thought I was going to be alone for the rest of my time here.”
Itachi looked away and Tobi remained silent. It was Zetsu who spoke.
“We… Thought that it would be a good idea…” Zetsu whispered in a cracking voice.
Madara frowned. He reached out and cupped Zetsu’s cheek. “What’s wrong, love?”
Zetsu looked at Madara with widened eyes. He hadn’t been called ‘love’ in… In years!
“Madara…” Zetsu whispered as his eyes filled with tears. He sniffed once before letting the damn break. He dived into Madara’s lap and hugged the elder tightly.
Madara gasped at the unexpected action but he didn’t harm the younger in any way. Instead, he sat there and stared in disbelief at Zetsu.
“Zetsu…” Madara’s voice was soft. “…I’m sorry. For everything. I was… What I did… How I treated you… It was unacceptable. I should never have hurt you – ever. You were my everything, but I got too sick to remember that…”
Madara wrapped his arms around Zetsu and hugged the younger tightly yet so sensually. He whispered soothing words to his partner. Soon enough, Zetsu was calm.
Tobi looked at Itachi with a confused eye – he couldn’t understand what was happening. Why was Zetsu acting like he had missed Madara and still loved him? He had heard the elder tell their therapist he wished that the spiky-haired Uchiha would die and that he despised him. What was going on?
“Come, Tobi.” Itachi put an arm around his cousin’s shoulders. “Let’s leave them alone for a few minutes. We’ll go and buy you some candy. Not too much or you’ll rot your teeth, okay?”
Tobi looked back at Madara and Zetsu just in time to see them exchange a tender kiss before he looked back at his cousin. He smiled and nodded.
When the Uchiha returned back to the table minutes later, the couple were cuddling on the chair. One of the facility staff was approaching the table. Itachi instinctively tightened his hold on his cousin, but he let go once the staff member smiled at them all.
“I have some good news.” The woman said. “Madara has done so well here, we’re going to discharge him today. If you would like to hang around for just a few more hours, you can bring him home.”
Tobi tensed. Itachi, however, smiled. “That is fine with me.”
Tobi whimpered. He grabbed Itachi’s long hair and pulled at it in distress. Itachi understood what was wrong almost immediately – the boy was terrified that Madara would hurt them again.
“Tobi…” Itachi whispered. “…It’s going to be fine. I promise that if Madara ever hurts you again, I’ll do something about it, okay?”
Tobi shook violently. Itachi could sense a panic attack. He quickly turned to Madara and Zetsu.
“Zetsu, I need to take Tobi home.” Itachi nodded his head at Madara. “You’ll be okay here?”
Zetsu smiled. He laid his head on Madara’s shoulder and grasped the elder’s hand within his own, entwining their fingers. “Of course.”
Itachi nodded. He picked Tobi up and carried him out to the car. He placed the boy in the passenger seat before he sat down and started the car up. He watched Tobi for a few minutes before pulling out of the car park. Tobi was leaning against the door, hugging himself as he quivered. It was clear that Tobi wasn’t keen on the idea of bringing Madara home.
“Tobi…” Itachi started as they pulled out onto the road. “…It’s going to be fine. The doctors wouldn’t let Madara out if they thought that he would hurt you again. I promise you this on Sasuke’s life.”
“Don’t make promises that can’t be kept…” Tobi mumbled sadly.
Itachi shook his head. He knew that it would take Tobi time to realise the reality of the situation.

Three days had passed. Tobi hadn’t come out of his room during that time now that Madara was staying with them. He had chosen to ignore every prompt to come out of his room.
Deidara was the last person to try and get the Uchiha to come out. He walked into the younger’s bedroom to find Tobi flipping through channels on the TV. When the boy saw him, he grinned and threw the remote onto the ground.
Tobi pushed himself up slowly into a sitting position. He kept his hands planted firmly on the mattress to keep him from falling over. Deidara smiled at him.
“I have a surprise for you, Tobi.” Deidara walked towards Tobi and reached his hand out, silently asking for Tobi to come with him. “I’ll bet that you’ll love it.”
Tobi watched Deidara warily. He knew that he was being coaxed out of his room, but he also knew that he could trust Deidara. He slowly pushed himself off the bed and grabbed onto the headboard as he waited for Deidara to come and help him.
They walked out of the room together. Tobi was shaking, chilled to the core by violent memories. Once they entered the living room and he caught sight of Madara, he panicked. He didn’t notice something small and furry charge out of the living room towards them until it started to jump all over them.
Deidara smiled at Tobi. He knew that the younger boy would be a little shaken before he would come to love his present.
“…” Tobi shook his head in order to clear his mind. He took note of a small puppy whimpering and jumping at him. He smiled – he had always wanted a pet.
“Hello…” Tobi leant down and picked the pup up. “What is puppy’s name?”
“He’s yours.” Madara said to Tobi. He had come to stand in the doorway in order to watch them better. “Do you like him?”
Tobi recoiled. Madara frowned. But then it struck Tobi – Madara had gotten him the pup.
“Did Uncle Mad – Tobi means Madara-sama… get Tobi puppy…?” Tobi whispered.
Madara smiled and nodded before he took a few steps towards Deidara and Tobi. “Yes. Tobi, I would like to make you the same promises that I made Zetsu. Do you want to listen to what I have to say?”
Tobi looked nervously at Deidara. The blonde smiled and nodded. He gulped – Deidara hated Madara, but if he wanted Tobi to listen, then…
“Okay…” Tobi whispered. He looked at the ground, quivering. He pulled the puppy into a hug.
“Come into the living room, Tobi.” Madara coaxed. He walked back in and sat down on the couch as he waited patiently for Tobi and Deidara. “I had a talk with Zetsu when I got released from the hospital. I know that what I did was horrible and unjust to the both of you, so… I promised Zetsu that I would never do drugs, drink, watch porn, or abuse anyone ever again in any way. I told Zetsu that if he ever felt uncomfortable around me, I would back off until he settles down. And that if I ever hurt him again, he can call the police. If I promised you these same things, would you be interested in… trying to start a father-son relationship…? I know you probably won’t ever think of me as your father, and I can understand completely, but… I love my son, and I would like to get to know him and have a real relationship with him.”
Tobi thought it over long and hard before he looked at Deidara. The blond smiled and shrugged. Tobi understood that he was getting no help with this – it was completely up to him.
“Well…” Tobi whispered as he fidgeted. “…Tobi… thinks that it was nice of Madara-sama –“
“Oh, please, Tobi!” Madara interrupted, sounding horrified. “Please, no sama! …Just… Madara… Or whatever you want to call me…”
Tobi smiled weakly and nodded. “…Tobi thinks that it was nice of Madara to get Tobi puppy… If Zetsu-san and everyone else forgives Madara, then… Tobi should too, because Itachi taught him that hating someone without reason was bad. And everyone says that Madara changed, so… Tobi would like to give him a chance… But he wants Dei-Senpai to be with him so that he knows it will be okay.”
Madara grinned at Tobi. “That is absolutely fine. Would… Would you allow me to hug you…?”
Tobi blushed before nodding. “…Okay…”
Madara hugged the boy. He jumped when Tobi returned the embrace, but he was happy to allow him to hug back.
“What should we do first, Tobi?” Madara whispered as he released the boy moments later.
“Well… Tobi wants some help naming puppy.” Tobi smiled. “Would Madara and Dei-Senpai like to help Tobi name him?”
