AN: Guess who is back? So I bring to you this new series, which will feature Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Madara! You heard me right! This will be a series of short drabble for this pairing! Requests will be taken and reviews are appreciated!

"You've got every right to leave, but - stay with me."

Selfish, they were both selfish.

How many more times would they do this? Blue eyes gaze down at the boy. Just a child in this world. Madara was just a child, and would grow up. Maybe he'd die. Maybe he'd live. Maybe, maybe, so many possibilities, so many choices the boy could make.

Minato leaves this world to burn in the ashes of destruction that he himself had brought upon it.

The next world he moves on to, Madara is long dead. Died when he was but a mere child, slipped into a lake trying to save his elder brother. Izuna has become the Uchiha clan head, and this world is doomed. Uchiha and Senju seem to be locked in an endless battle. There is death in this world, thick, heavy, and bodies line the battlefields.

Lifetimes go by like that. A year turns into ten, ten turns into a hundred, a hundred turns into several hundred and Minato has long lost count.

He is just so - so tired. So exhausted.

In this world, Minato raises an army himself. The Uchiha and Senju have created Konoha, and Minato wants to rip it apart. Tear it down, scatter the ashes across the winds. Thirty-one years, six months, three weeks, five days. Thousands dead.

Snow is falling. Crimson stains the white snow and Minato feels the adrenaline as he's locked in battle with Madara. "Do you know?" He wants to ask, "What you were to me? What you've done to me? What I've done for you?"

A sword goes through his heart, and Minato stabs Madara as well, both fatal wounds. They're holding each other, and they look more like old friends as they die there in the snow.

The world Minato wakes up in advanced. Madara owns many companies here, and Minato watches him as he marries. Has a family. He's better off, happy here. Uchiha Madara ages, dies peacefully in this world with his family by his side. For the next century, Minato stays here. Creates a semblance of a life, and it's stable.

Until Uchiha Madara walks into the shop he owns.

It's like two magnets, two opposing forces, drawn to each other no matter what life they live. They become friends, and eventually, lovers.

Minato leaves in the dead of night, "I'm sorry, but I've done too much."

It doesn't stop. A thousand, ten thousand, a million worlds.

"Stay with me," They all say.

"I can't," He always answers.

He never can.

They'll meet again.

In this world.

In every world.

Like always.
