/This is a bonus chapter, set between chapters 3 and 4. This chapter shows something of Tobirama and Izuna's relationship. It is mentioned in chapter 6 that they were together, but that's the only hint we got at their relationship, so I decided to include this bonus chapter for all you TobiIzu fans out there~/

Izuna had been hanging around with Tobirama for a few weeks now, and the ravenette had found things that made the other tick, and what the other liked. People could probably tell that the two had become quite close friends, the small and skinny kid and the taller, snowy-haired male. Tobirama was quite overprotective of the younger, not that Izuna minded.

He found it all rather amusing, and also a little annoying. He wasn't that small or frail, and he suspected that Tobirama was doing it mostly to annoy him. Though, Tobirama's thoughts were mostly due to the fact that he didn't want anyone else to claim the Uchiha just for the sole purpose of hurting him. The slightly possessive thoughts brought a flush to the Senju's face, and Izuna paused his video game to glance up at the other. "Tobi, are you well?" He questioned quietly, moving over to place his hand at the other's forehead, checking his temperature.

Tobirama blinked a little as he felt the other's hand over his forehead. Izuna hummed a little. "Well, you don't feel that warm, just your cheeks," He muttered, watching the other's reactions carefully. If Tobirama was actually ill, then that was bad. He'd need to be made better so then it would be easier to hang around him. Sick people were usually more moody after all, or so the younger Uchiha had decided, from his experience with his own family.

Was it a selfish thing? Maybe so, but Izuna didn't like people yelling at him. Especially when that someone was someone he really liked. The older male just ruffled Izuna's hair, a slight smile on his lips. "I'm fine, kid, don't worry so much" The snowy-haired male responded with a shrug. The Uchiha pouted at the use of the term "kid". He stared at the other, folding his arms over his chest. Tobirama just raised an eyebrow at him. "What?"

"Why do you never call me by my name?" Izuna questioned, leaning forwards and staring at the other. He had decided to try and get to the bottom of this. The young Uchiha was not appreciative of being called "kid" all the time. He was almost practically an adult, or so he felt. "You always call me "kid" or "Uchiha", but you never call me Izuna." Tobirama just shrugged a little.

"Is that all it's about?" He just shook his head, flicking the other in the forehead lightly. "Hey-" Izuna covered his forehead, frowning slightly. The snowy-haired male just chuckled. "I call you Uchiha because that's your name, one of 'em anyway. And then kid is just an affectionate nickname. Don't you like it, Izuna?" He raised an eyebrow slightly at the other. Izuna just huffed. "I'm sixteen. That is totally near enough to being an adult, and you can't be that much older," He pointed out with a shrug.

"I'm nineteen. So to me, you're still basically a kid," He shrugged, a teasing smirk gracing his lips, expecting the younger to just huff more and give up on this little conversation. What he hadn't expected was for the younger to pounce on him, causing both of them to fall off of the couch. The Uchiha's face was only centimetres away from his. Izuna smirked cockily.

"Now what're you going to do? This "kid" just bested you!" The Uchiha laughed, though he was silenced as lips were pressed to his own. A blush spreading across his cheeks, Izuna moved off of the other quickly, falling onto his butt, a hand going over his mouth. "Y-you kissed me…!" He was in complete shock, his eyes going wide. Tobirama sat up, his own cheeks flushing faintly, though he smiled at the other. "That's what it was, yeah," He nodded. Izuna continued to stare at the other, his heart pounding in his chest.

"But you kissed me!" Izuna pointed at the other, still flushing. "Why did you do that?" Tobirama chuckled. How oblivious the younger male was. Though, Tobirama wasn't going to push the poor kid too hard. He didn't want to lose a friendship, after all. "Why do people kiss, Zu?" He questioned the younger male, raising an eyebrow slightly. The Uchiha blinked a little.

"Because they want to do the thing," Izuna responded with a shrug. Madara had never really explained what "the thing" actually was, but the older male had pressed into the younger with the ideas of how it started. Tobirama stared blankly at the younger for a few moments, before bursting out into laughter. Izuna's cheeks flushed once more. "Didn't anyone teach you anything on this side of things?" The Senju asked, sighing lightly as Izuna shook his head. "Okay, listen" Tobirama started, still laughing. "People kiss because they like each other. Like in those sappy romance films."

"Wait, so you mean you like me?" Izuna tilted his head, blushing faintly. Tobirama nodded, and the younger male just hit him lightly on the head. The snowy-haired male flinched away, raising an eyebrow at Izuna. "Stupid. You could have just told me so," The Uchiha chastised gently. "I mean, I know it may be silly and sappy like in those stupid romance films, but kissing me without warning or any reason is just weird, okay?"

Tobirama just blinked a little, his cheeks flushing as he nodded. "Right, right," He nodded, leaning forwards and ruffling the other's hair again. Izuna then put his hands to his hips, staring at the other expectantly. "Now, you are gonna do it properly, okay?" Tobirama just raised an eyebrow slightly at Izuna's words. "What?" He questioned calmly. Izuna resisted the urge to facepalm. "You're going to tell me you like me, and then you can kiss me," The Uchiha explained with a slight shrug.

Tobirama looked to the other, his cheeks flushing more as he watched Izuna. The young ravenette was definitely an Uchiha. "Okay," He took a breath before speaking to the other. "I like you, Izuna. I really do, and that's why I call you kid and act like an overbearing and rather overprotective big brother. Only I'd rather not be an older brother figure but I want to kiss you and hold you close."

He brought a hand over his face, ruby eyes still glancing over to the young Uchiha. A slight smile graced Izuna's lips, and he smiled to the other. The young Uchiha's cheeks were still flushed deeply. "Ah, you do?" He tilted his head to the side. Tobirama just nodded. "Of course," He responded, not sure where this was going. He didn't even know if the younger felt the same. Izuna wrapped his arms slowly around the older male, smiling gently. He then pressed his lips to Tobirama's.

This kiss sent jolts down Tobirama's spine, and he held the younger male's waist gently. Izuna's lips tasted sweet, strawberry and sherbet. Izuna closed his eyes, enjoying the feeling of the other male's lips on his. Pulling away, the young Uchiha took a breath, glancing to the other shyly. "You taste like your drink," He commented with a shrug and a smile. Tobirama flushed deeply, glancing to the half empty glass of clouded lemonade on the coffee table. Izuna laughed softly. "See, that wasn't so bad," He commented lightly.

"Does this make us boyfriends now or something?" A hopeful look came over Izuna's face, and Tobirama just chuckled, kissing Izuna on the forehead. "Only if you want us to be, though some may mistake you for my girlfriend~" He teased lightly, Izuna hitting him on the shoulder and pouting. "Hm, I'm not your girlfriend. I'm a boy. So it's boyfriend." Tobirama nodded and smiled, holding the other close. "I know."
