The mere concept of 'relaxation' often seemed to be a foreign concept to Tobirama, not that the man never rested, however it was rather hard to get him to settle down. This was a rather stark contrast between him and his more relaxed brother. There was the hope from those around him, that after you and him married he'd get to slow down a bit; that wasn't the case, Tobirama worked just as much. Especially now that you two had 2 children.

Outside the sun had already reached its peak at noon yet Tobirama for once was still lying in the comforts of his bed, as well as your presence. After all this morning you made sure your kids would be safely tucked away with Uncle Hashirama and his students.

His arm was still curled around your body as his breath hit the top of your head. It was a truly rare moment to witness the stillness seeming surrounding you both. Quiet twittering of birds sneaked through the crevices of your home.

"I noticed." Tobirama's voice still raspy from sleep cut through the silence as though it were butter. "Don't think I wouldn't notice you leaving my arms, even for a 'good cause', like some peace and quiet..." He pulled you a bit closer, the mornings bringing out the softer side of your husband.

It wasn't that he wasn't appreciative to spend quality time with only you today, after all you haven't had a date in what felt like months, but he just dislikes his cuddle being disturbed.
