"Tsk."
Madara clicked his tongue as he let himself get dragged by gravity down alongside the walls. He looked at the ruined ceiling of the abandoned building he was forced to hide himself in, all while clutching on his bleeding arm.
"Kohaku-san..." He uttered.
Both of them are in a middle of a mission when things got south and both of them are forced to be separated. He sighed and closed his eyes.
"I won't forgive anyone, and myself, if something bad happens to him."
He kept staring on the night sky, his clutch on his arms starting to lose its grip, and the pain getting on the background as his thoughts we just nothing but Kohaku.
"Haha... I'm not even worried about myself. But Kohaku-san, I can't let him die in a place like this... No, he has to... he has to stay... alive... at least..."
Ah. His vision is starting to disappear. He must have lost a lot of blood already.
"I... I can't die yet without knowing... that he's fine..."
And yet his vision betrayed him, passing out of the ground.

Madara started groaning the moment he felt like he's starting to waking up. He slowly opened his eyes. And he stared above before everything registered to him.
"Madara-han, ya big dummy. I thought I lost ya..."
"Kohaku-san..."
His brain was loading. He thinks his head is currently on Kohaku's lap. His arms stops bleeding too, with some cloth tied up around it. And...
Shit.
"Kohaku-san, why are you crying?" Madara weakly brought one of his hand towards Kohaku's cheek and wiped the tear away.
"Idiot! I saw ya lying on the floor, unconsious and bleeding a lot! 'Course I'd cry cuz I was way too worried!"
Kohaku start sobbing while talking.
Madara couldn't believe his eyes. It's Kohaku Oukawa for fuck’s sake. He thought he’ll never see him cry, much more for his sake.
“I’m sorry.” Madara tried to sit up straight with Kohaku aiding him.
“What about you, are you alright?” Madara asked him weakly.
Kohaku wiped his tears. “Yeah, I’m good.”
Madara smiled. “I see, that’s good.”
Madara then placed his hand on Kohaku’s head. They were silent like that for few seconds until Kohaku shifted his body and leaned towards Madara.
“Idiot…” Kohaku gripped onto Madara’s shirt and Madara placed his hand on Kohaku’s back, a little reluctant to hug him.
“Ya really gave me a big scare! Why are ya tryna sacrifice yourself for me?! Catching the bullet for yerself and telling me to run away…”
“Because I don’t want to lose you in a place like this.” Madara answered him honestly, which made Kohaku froze.
Kohaku’s tears continuously flowed once more.
“Ya really are an idiot! Do ya think I also want ya to die in a place like this?! Don’t leave me all alone you big bear idiot!”
Kohaku clung his arms on Madara’s neck. Madara was stunted hearing those words.
Ah, and here he thought Kohaku wouldn’t mind in he dies…
“Kohaku-san, you’re starting to strangle me.” Madara chuckled while patting Kohaku’s back.
“Hah! Ya deserve that ya big idiot!”
They stayed like that for a while before Kohaku’s phone vibrated. Kohaku let Madara go and checked his phone.
“It’s Saegusa-han. He said he dealt with it already.” Kohaku sighed in annoyance.
“Dammit, and I didn’t even want ta have a debt to him!” Kohaku said angrily.
“Ahaha… then I shall help you pay that debt then!”
“Ya better! I wasn’t able to clean them up cuz I was busy worryin’ bout you!”
Madara smiled and then he suddenly kissed Kohaku’s cheeks.
“Thank you Kohaku-san, for worrying about me.”
“Wha-“
“WHAT ARE YA DOING YA IDIOT!!!” And the curtain falls with Kohaku slapping Madara with his tsundere powers.
