That night after they had the conversation about moving in together, Madara slept over, sharing a bed with him. In the morning at six thirty, Tobirama would wake up to shave, shower and change his clothes. He had an early shift so he left a message to Madara that he prepared breakfast for him and lets him know that the food is in the fridge, Madara’s mug is ready on the counter and that if he wants and fruit juices is also in the fridge or fresh fruit is in the fruit basket on the table. After he carefully prepared breakfast for both his own and Madara’s, Tobirama took cleaned up after he used the shower as well as the kitchen, and when that was done, he took the keys and headed off.
That morning as he drove to the library listening to Queen’s Under pressure on the radio, he felt in a light mood, because he was free from the difficulties of managing time hours between his job and teaching practice, but also excited for a new job. Although it also brought anxieties and nostalgia, he was sure that he was going to miss the place. Tobirama found his parking spot (a street that runs parallel to that of the Library block) and he headed to the main entrance. That day he decided, that he was going to take the resign form which would release him from his duty in about a month from now.
When he wakes up Tobi’s no longer in bed, and he has about six messages on his phone. Madara sits up and squints at the messages, finds Tobirama’s first - about the food downstairs, waiting and ready, and about heading out for his early shift today. The other texts are from his assistant, his junior associate and Murakami, all about work. There won’t be much for him to do at the office today, but he remembers he has to drop by to check out some memoranda he’d asked his associate to draft. So there’s that, at the very least.
He moves about Tobirama’s home, knows the apartment so well by now. He bathes, eats breakfast, cleans up and locks the unit down with the spare keys Tobi had given him. He takes his own car and drives off to his building in downtown Tokyo.
Before going up all the way to the twentieth floor Madara grabs some matcha latte from his favorite tea and coffee shop. Rush hour crowd’s building, and he watches the people walk outside, and he turns to his phone and sends Tobi a message.
