it took a lot to genuinely scare tobirama. he’d seen things that could make the devil flinch. but no past horror could prepare him for your puffy eyed, tear stained face and the heart wrenching words that spilled from your lips.
“tobirama, i’m sorry. i don’t think i can do this anymore,”
the first thing he noticed was the way you addressed him. it wasn’t a loving tobi - kun, or even a teasing fish face. it was just his name. and tobirama hated it. everyone called him by his name. not you. you were different. for you to address him so casually, like he was just anyone… it hurt more than his ego would allow him to admit.
