Mamoru's pov.

Both of us enter the restaurant and seat at a booth at the furthest back. "Who is he?" "Isn't the other Uchiha left is-" "Shh. We can't talk about it here"

Rumors...

spread really like wild fire...

"U-um... Can I-I-I take y-your orders... Uchiha-san?" one of the waitress shakily handed the menu. "I'll take the vegetable gyoza and also tomato onigiri" I hand the menu back before I avert my attention to my one and only priority... for tonight.

Sasuke's pov.

"Sasuke" he started.

Finally

After all these years...

"About the Uchiha Clan-" 

"H-here is y-your food" the waitress start to put our food down in front of both of us.

He never cared about...

ME

The dinner went awfully silent as both of us eat our not-so-delicious dinner with gossips all around the restaurant.

"Let's go" Mamoru said before he rise from his seat and begin walking towards the entrance. I silently follow behind his back.

His back.

A familiar vision that'll never change.

"Uchiha-san?" if it isn't for the waitress, I'll never find his other friendly half.

"What are you staring at, Sasuke? Come, Let's go home" his hand gesture is as small and simple as possible. But, I know that it triggers something within me that are dead for some years now.

Without I even realize, I'm running towards him with a small grin plastered on my face.

Even if it's a lie, I want to believe that Mamoru-nii actually cares.

Mamoru's pov.

As Sasuke run to me while smiling,

my heart aches at the sight of him,

I could have given him more love that he deserves.

I could have sooth him during his hard times.

I could have play with him when he's bored.

I could have spend more time with him.

I could have-

"Arigatou, Nii-sama" he silently whisper as both of us take our time to walk through the dark silent night. 

I hned as a respond before a slight smile tear my straight poker face. 

-The Next day-

I wake up around 5 in the morning and go to the nearest supermarket because apparently someone doesn't eat food aside from tomato. So, I bought few packs of bacon, chicken breast, some rib as well, and many other ingredients. By the time I arrive back at home, Sasuke is still asleep. Without wasting too much time, I start to cook breakfast for both of us. It's only a simple baked tomato covered with bacon and omelet.

By 7am, Sasuke wake up right at the moment I arrange the breakfast the plates. "Come let's have breakfast" I say. He hned and grab a bite at my 'simple' breakfast. "It's... really good" he compliment before scrapping down his plate. Before he even ask for more, I give him my portion of the meal "Eat up and get ready. I won't be able to drop you by the academy today" I say and left the dining room to get ready. I have something very important to discuss with a certain someone.

Sasuke's pov.

I wake up to a very sweet smell that comes from the kitchen that I never even touch. As if he could see me through the walls, he pulls a chair and give me a plate for breakfast. "Come let's have breakfast" he says. I hned at the delicious-looking meal he cook for me.

For ME?!

I take a bite of what looks like baked tomato. Before I know it, I'm now scrapping my empty clean plate. 

It is a REALLY DELICIOUS meal that I've ever eaten for the last... 5 years.

"Eat up and get ready. I won't be able to drop you by the academy today" I look up to another untouched plate of meal.

I really want to believe that our relationship is getting closer.

But, 

HE still is so COLD to me.

Well, Whatever. Why am I still thinking of Mamoru instead of my goal, getting stronger to kill HIM.

Mamoru's pov.

I enter the hokage's office to slam into an oh-so-familiar wooden cage. "Oh! Sorry Mamoru-san. I didn't SEE you there" And... here we go with the dad joke. "Please stop being so childish, Tenzo" "But Senpai... It's actually a really good one in this week." The older jounin can't help at his ex-partner's sense of humor that he's thinking of ways to erase all of the Anbu's memories. "Hey Kakashi, want to crash over my place for barbeque?" I ask.

"Sure. Why Not" Both me and Kakashi then punch this wooden cage with chakra enhanced punch that literally broke the wood into almost invinsible pieces of sticks. "Now, for the firewoods" I crack my fingers and walk slowly at Yamato's direction. "I'm really sorry Uchiha-san! Please don't burn me again" he pled.

I extend my hand and help him stand from his kneeling position "It's okay. At least I could still able to roast you anytime soon" I give him one of my evil grin.

"It's good to have you back, Uchiha-san"
