By growing older, your heart grows more experienced. You grow one step further away from being controlled by your feelings and are able to keep from soaring through the sky or sinking to the depths of the ocean. That's what it means to grow older. ABRP Affiliated

Head Cannon Day 3

3.) Name one scar your character has, and tell us where it came from. If they don’t have any, is there a reason?

Momo has two very distinct scars that she NEVER talks about. They bring back memories that she would rather keep buried deep. Those memories are so painful to her that she dresses in the dark or doesn’t look at herself in the mirrors and can/has broken down while in the shower when washing said ares. One car is just below the center of her chest, it is the one Aizen gave her when she first found out of his treachery. While she technically has two scars from this, the entry and exit point of Aizens blade, the exit point healed better than the entry which left her with one scar. The same can be said for the one most prominent on her back from Toshiro’s blade. The exit wound can still be seen, just barely between her breasts while the entry wound is quite prominent in the center of her back.

Two of her greatest friends, the two people whom she trusted the most above anyone stabbed her through the heart and she remembers that every single day. While, thankfully now she understands why Toshiro stabbed her, she still can feel the pain and betrayal she felt that day and she hates herself for it.

Momo blushed and Rose smiled, finding the look endearing on her. She was even more modest than he’d anticipated, he thought, understanding why probing a little deeper into her artistic endeavours might have resulted in that kind of reaction from her. Art was deeply personal, he knew that probably better than anyone. She let out a sigh and looked toward the sky once more, Rose followed suite understanding what she meant as she spoke of what inspired her to paint. 

“A landscape artist,” he smiled approvingly “and an observant one at that. 

The lieutenant lamented her talent as a singer and the captain’s smile turned into soft laughter as she explained the reaction she’d gotten last time she’d tried. That was alright, he thought, aware his own voice left something to be desired, he had more admiration in one who tried and failed than someone who wouldn’t try at all.  

“I’m sure you’re not that bad. Music is as complicated as you wish to make it” he replied “I for one prefer instruments to singing and, of course, the joy of composition” 

He sighed cheerfully, always at his happiest when discussing his personal brand of art 

“My personal favourite is the guitar, although I’m sure you know that already”

“Oh I’m not so sure. Granny was always kind, but could be brutally honest at times as well” She smiled fondly up at the bright luminus moon. It seemed so long ago that she sat with Toshiro and talked with his Granny about becoming a Shinigami, almost another lifetime it seemed. 

“I may have known that though I wouldnt be surprised if my intel was wrong” She answered, a smile never leaving her face as she looked back at the Captain. 

Taking a look at him as he stared up at the night sky gave her a new appreciation for him. He, of course, always seemed incredibly kind and while Izuru had his worries, never spoke ill of him....but this shed new light on him, so to speak. He was tall, and perhaps it was the moonlight but incredibly handsome and endearing, she could definitely see why people warmed up to him so quickly. 

“Composition? Would you mind if I asked what type of music you liked to compose?”

Well at least the smile meant that he’d eased her worries a bit; Tsukishima considered that an easy, minor victory. Humans and shinigami alike were so easy to beguile sometimes. 

“Yes the fireworks were impressive,” he said with an amused smile. Tsukishima mentally focused on the word work coming from a shinigami. That was…inconvenient. He’d have to see if he could flush out any specific information, but he had to be careful not to make her think he was suspicious. “But you should try to be careful the next time you’re working up high.”

“Me? I was watching the fireworks, of course,” he said with an easy grin. “And it’s not dangerous if you’re cautious…not unless someone else comes barreling out of the darkness, that is.” He spoke teasingly. “Besides, you were the one working up on a roof at night, weren’t you? Isn’t that dangerous?”

Her eyes widened for a brief moment before her cheeks flushed deeply. At least the stranger was teasing her instead of demanding more apologies. It seemed as though he wasn’t hurt, though she wasn’t sure how. She had hit him pretty hard, not only that but the ground wasn’t very forgiving. Perhaps this man was simply stronger than he appeared, or perhaps he was more. 

“They were incredible! I’ll have to see if I can manage to get a day off the next time these fireworks are on display. I want to see them up close without worrying that something might turn up and ruin it all..” Though she supposed that might just be part of her job description. Even with a day off she’d still worry. 

“Yes, I suppose I am the one that made it dangerous for you. I apologize, again!” She shuffled nervously, wishing she could do more to apologize to the poor man. “It could be dangerous but I’m not worried. I’m a tough cookie!” She smiled brightly up at him. “Besides, its better that I handle the situation than someone who’s not trained for it right?”

“…hey! What the…?!”

“…Hinamori-chan?! Was that you?!”

[naiveblossom]

you-snooze-you-booze:

Out of the corner of his eye, Shunsui saw the kid take a seat across from him, and that suited him just fine. He glanced sideways and offered her a small smile, hoping to that she’d be able to get comfy as quickly as he had. He was the kid turn her own eye to the swirling snow outside, and for half a second, he simply watched her watch the snow fall, glad that she seemed happy and at ease.

Hinamori gave hot sake her stamp of approval, and Shunsui waved to the server - not the super-hot one that he’d been thinking of when he’d suggested the place, but a pretty young thing all the same - and ordered for both himself and his young charge, selecting a lighter, more delicate vintage for Hinamori, and something a little heartier for himself. “And,” he added, as the server was about to turn away and fetch their drinks, “we wouldn’t be opposed to a few snacks, if you’re feeling generous…?” He winked, and the server rolled her eyes, but she promised snacks and drinks all the same.

It didn’t take her long before she returned with the two hot drinks, along with some salted soybeans, briny preserved pickles, and skewers stacked thick with bite-sized morsels of chicken and vegetables. “Perfect,” Shunsui sighed, taking his cup in his hands, and raising it to Hinamori in a tiny toast. “What shall we drink to today, Hinamori-chan?” he asked. “It’s your call.”

She couldn’t help the small giggle that escaped her as she watched the Captain order their drinks. His flirtations were amusing to watch especially when she watched how women reacted to it. It was all different, some women obviously loved it while others seemed annoyed but still smiled at it all the same. It certainly was entertaining to her, at least. 

Taking her drink in hand, she let it warm her cold fingers as she thought about what he had asked her. 

“Oh I’m not sure. How about we toast to staying warm on the cold days to come?” She suggested a littler nervously. She was never good at these sorts of things. While it wasn’t a noble toast at least it was something she hoped for. She loved the cold, but didn’t love being cold.

“To staying warm and watching the beautiful snow with an amazing person”

Victorian Split

[playkinshara-archive]

naiveblossom:

Momo loved the night life. It was the only time where she got to enjoy all of the beautiful gowns, musics and food the world had to offer…and the only time it helped her forget about her past. Her escape from the real world had become a beautiful symphony of musics, art and champagne. There really was no better way, in her opinion, to end a night than to listen to the talented Rose Otoribashi perform.

It was a night to remember, his performance rang in her ears even after the last note was struck and she found herself reveling in the beautiful music with the fellow patrons. She was in the middle of praising the beloved performer when she saw him walking towards her only to grow more nervous with each step.

“Oh….yes….yes I did. Thank you for asking Sir Otoribashi. It was a beautiful piece” She smiled, offering a curtsy in return. “You were absolutely incredible. Honestly, I wish I had your talent. I’m afraid if I even tried I would render everyone here deaf.”

She mused, looking up at the tall performer. Honestly, she’d never get used to how he could easily tower over her.

“How are you doing this evening? Well I hope?” She asked, taking a look around the room at all of the magnificent clothes and people. Each person had something new to bring to the room. Many were probably overdressed for the occasion, but she supposed if everyone was overdressed then truly no one would feel out of place. Smiling faces surrounded them, and truly she felt at peace.

This was her escape, and it was only these moments of people watching that she truly felt that.

“I’m glad you came by. There has been something I’ve been wanting to talk with you about though I’ll admit I’m a little nervous…..do you think we could talk privately for a moment. I mean if you have time…”

The young woman smiled up at him and Rose decided he had made the right choice in seeking out her company. No matter what might happen tonight, it was hard to worry too much about it when in the company of an adoring fan. He waved away her compliments with her spare hand and acknowledged her curtsey with a dip of his head. 

“Really, you’re far too kind my lady, I was hardly at my best this evening “ he smiled, laughing politely at her self depreciation “although I doubt your singing is as bad as you believe; beauty is in the eye of the beholder after all and I find true talent often goes under appreciated by the one in possession of it.”

Their talk turned to his health and, as the question was voiced, Rose felt his heart tighten in his chest. If only she knew the truth he thought; would she be so eager to ask that question, let alone spend time with him? Rose was no fool; he knew the people who came to here him play would not be so eager to support his art if they knew what went on behind closed doors and he had no doubt that she would be the same. 

“I’m well thank you” he lied, diverting any follow up questions away with a show of flattery, taking her hand and kissing it  “May I say how  pleased I was to see you here tonight. You look ravishing, a shining star in a sea of of mundane faces. I always like to give my best when I know one with such discerning taste in the crowd”

The lady asked a question and Rose cocked his head, his smile freezing on his face and a sense of panic rising as she requested to speak with him alone. Although heading somewhere private would get him away from the crowds and into a semblance of safety without causing suspicion, he would still be with someone who could blow his cover if the worst were to happen. He barely knew this woman; whether she was trustworthy or someone who’d tell the whole world what she’d seen if she happened to see more than he wanted her to.  Going with her was a risk, but if he declined then he risked hurting her feelings and causing a scene and in a way that would be worse. He was caught between a rock and a hard place; not wanting to go but at the same time unable to refuse. 

“It’d be my pleasure” he replied,offering her his arm and covering up his churning sense of dread with a gracious smile “Why don’t we head out into the gardens and take in the flowers in the moonlight?”

If Tsukishima was hoping for something interesting to happen tonight, those hopes quickly dwindled to little more than debris as the woman began rambling out apologies. It was obvious that this little shinigami wasn’t going to question what had happened, how they had escaped a more dangerous fall. How..disappointing.

“I’m not hurt,” Tsukishima consoled. His knees would be swollen and sore, but that was a minor concern. He waved away her concern, then held his arms out to the side so she could inspect him. “There’s no need for a hospital, and there are certainly no wounds to dress.”

His mouth twisted into a kind smile automatically. “Are you okay? You hit the ground pretty hard there.” He naturally deflected the conversation towards her, hoping that she’d let loose something interesting to salvage this incident. He let his head shake in mock bewilderment. “What were you trying to do up on the roof?”

He knew what he’d been doing, but he was curious how she’d answer that question, what she would give away. He did his best to appear innocently curious and concerned, eyebrows drawing up and together. 

“Oh me no...no I’m alright...I’m pretty clumsy so I’m kind of....well sturdy....” She smiled softly, brushing herself off as she looked up at the man. He seemed genuine in his smile, and quite handsome to boot. She was certain he didn’t realize what she had done, after all a normal human would question how they both didn’t at least break something with such a steep fall. He only seemed concerned for her safety, such a kind soul he was. 

“Oh I was,,,,well I was..... working and I got distracted by the lights in the sky. They were so loud and beautiful I’ve never seen anything like it!” She admitted, obviously a little star struck as she looked up to view the after math of the fireworks. The smoke that filled the air smelled strange but she could still see the bright flashing booms in her mind. 

“Might I ask why you were up on the roof? Isn’t that a dangerous place to be at night?”

🍎- Muse A accepts food/drink from Muse B, a fae. (Note: fairy folklore states that consuming food from the fairy realm will trap you there forever)

More than bored, Momo found herself wondering the woods hoping to spot a weary traveler she’d be able to call her friend. There wasn’t much to do in these woods other than stalk those wondering, but she wanted something more. Why did they get to have wonderful lives outside of this ‘wall’ without ever spending any time with her? Didn’t she deserve a bit of fun as well?

She perked up, spotting a dark haired, rather stoic looking man traveling through the woods.

‘He’s perfect! I bet he’ll just love it here!” She thought to herself, quickly flittering to cross his path with a most tempting offer. 

“Sir, sir!” She paused, holding out a beverage for him. “I’m sure you must be parched. Its been a heated day and you don’t seem to have any sort of water on you. Here, you can have some of mine!” She smiled brightly, almost begging him to take a sip. 

[scattermypride]

Byakuya Kuchiki hated Yoruichi. If it hadn’t been for that Hell-cat of a woman, he wouldn’t be out here wandering the woods on a hot summer day without any supplies. He wasn’t entirely sure how far he’d gotten before he stopped to think, and while he was certain that he wasn’t going in circles, he had no idea how far he’d have to walk in a straight line before he found civilization.

He jumped, turning momentarily surprised eyes towards the bright voice. He leaned back at her sudden proximity. Then years of etiquette training kicked in. “I - Thank you.” He took the drink in hand, taking a sip out of politeness, then taking a larger drink as the taste hit his tongue. ‘I must have been more thirsty than I thought,’ he thought as he reluctantly held the remainder of the water back. He almost imagined that he could feel the water tingling through his entire body.

“Thank you, miss,” he said. “But I would really appreciate it if you could help me find my way back home.”

[naiveblossom]

“Oh you want to leave?” She questioned, saddened by his request. “Don’t you enjoy it here in the forest? Its beautiful and full of magic! If you wanted I could help you build a wonderful house here and you could stay!” She pleaded, wishing her new friend would keep her company. She hated being alone, hated how quiet it was....most of all she hated not having anyone to talk to. 

“How rude of me! I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Momo, one of the last fairies that live here in this forest. After the great betrayal....I’m not sure how many of us are still alive even outside of here” She frowned softly before perking up once more.

“But thats fine at least I can meet new people like you Mister! If you want I can show you an amazing water fall nearby! Its absolutely beautiful and something everyone should see!”

Headcannon Day 2

2.) What are your characters most prominent physical features?

Her short stature is probably one of the first things that would be noticed when you first see her but other than that I believe Momo’s smile is her most prominent physical feature is her smile. A little cheesy I know but Momo is the type of person who’s smile can brighten your day or who’s frown can pull you down into an abyss of darkness. She feels emotions on a probably unhealthy level but she feels them with such fiery passion that when the emotion is good it can benefit all of those around her. It also helps that she loves smiling. Even when she’s down she will always give at least a small smile to those around her.

[naiveblossom]

Headcannon Day 1

1.)     What is your character’s gender, and how do they express it?  Are they accepting of it?

Momo identifies as a female. She hasn’t ever really had difficulties with identifying with her gender. The only problems she’s had is being thought of as weak. Though if she were honest with herself she believes that has less to do with the fact that she’s a female and more to do with the fact that she is weak. (In her opinion of course) Momo often enjoys her more feminine side. The one thing to note here though, while Momo may comfortably identify as female she doesn’t truly understand the separate identities. If someone were to tell her they identified differently than the stereotypical genders then she may ask questions. She is not judgmental but she would want to understand more about whom she is talking to and be able to respect them the way they should be. This mostly has to do with the fact that the Soul Society is obviously not modern in many ways so access to this type of subject has not been readily available to her.

She couldn’t help but notice that pink hinge to his cheeks, he looked almost adorable blushing like that though she wouldn’t dare say that aloud.

“Oh I wouldn’t dare betray her trust like that!” She teased, of course she was more than certain that she’s said the same things about all the men around the Seireitei. Nothing too bad, usually. 

“I would enjoy that. I’ve been running around like crazy all day so I haven’t had a chance to eat. Is there somewhere in particular you wanted to go?”

            Just around the corner [ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ ᴀ ʙʟᴏᴄᴋ ᴏʀ ᴛᴡᴏ ] sat a decently known tavern where they’d be able to share a well-prepared meal. It may be a bit on the rowdy side, but they’d have their own table. Food was pretty DAMN good too if Renji had to say. Motioning for her to follow, the Lieutenant began the trip towards their destination. Wouldn’t be more than several minutes.

            This wouldn’t be strange. Friends went out all the time. Perhaps they would even see other’s that they knew there. If not [ ᴅɪᴅɴ’ᴛ ᴍᴀᴛᴛᴇʀ ] He’d get to know Momo a bit better.

            ——— ‘  We shouldn’t be too long if you have more things to go off and do.  ’ 

[naiveblossom]

Momo followed in stride, her small steps slightly quickened as Renji continued his pace but luckily she kept up to him. It seemed like he had a place he’d prefer so she didn’t mind wherever he decided. She only hoped the food was decent, not realizing just how hungry she really was until she smelled the wonderful food in the air. 

“Oh no worries. I don’t mind how long it takes, even if there is something else I need to do I have all day to do it. How have you been lately?” She asked with a small smile. 

“It feels like forever since we last talked.”

An Adventure Awaits

Shunsui smiled at the kid’s enthusiasm, and he kept on smiling as he followed her towards the cart. He gave the menu a quick once-over as she placed her order, marveling at the kinds of things the humans in this little corner of the world came up with to entertain their unusual tastes.

Shunsui shrugged as the kid talked about sweets, trying his best to consider her question and to watch what the dude behind the cart was doing as he whipped up the funnel cake that she had asked for. “Eh,” he said, shrugging again. “I mean, I like booze, but that’s no big secret. And I’m not so sure that booze and roller coasters go well together anyway.” He glanced about himself, taking in the dozens and dozens of stalls and carts with food and other wares available for purchase. “That looks pretty interesting,” Shunsui said, nodding to a passerby carrying a giant, fluffy, pink wad of something on a cone. “I wonder what the heck it is.”

But before Shunsui could consider this particular mystery much farther, the dude behind the cart called out, and handed Hinamori a heaping plate of what looked like fried, stringy-shaped dough. Shunsui cocked his head to the side, more than a little intrigued. “Wow,” was all he could think to say.

The kid looked all bright and eager as she presented Shunsui with the funnel cake. Shunsui eyed the weird-looking, sweet-smelling thing, and again, he shrugged. “Well,” he said, reaching out one hand to tear one, little string of dough away from the pile, “it would be a bummer not to at least try something new, right?” He popped the dough into his mouth, and instantly scowled. It was stupidly sweet. It was as if a bomb made of molten sugar had gone off inside of Shunsui’s mouth, and he didn’t like it one bit. “Ugh,” he managed, when he finally swallowed. He forced a sickly smile, and shook his head in the kid’s general direction. “Nope,” he told her. “Not for me. You enjoy that thing, though, Hinamori-chan - I betcha it’ll be right up your alley.”

He glanced about himself, still pretty amazed by all of the colorful sights and copious sounds of the amusement park. “There’s a bench over there,” Shunsui offered, pointing. “We can take a seat while you finish that up, and then make a plan for the afternoon from there. How’s that sound, Hinamori-chan?”

She couldn’t help but give a small giggle as she watched him eat the cake, obviously not liking the flavor. With that in mind she took a piece for herself as he pointed at the bench before nodding with a mouth full of the sweet dough. It was absolutely delicious, and she quickly understood why someone who didn’t particularly like sweets would find this appalling. 

The sweetened dough was all she could think about as she walked towards the bench to make herself comfortable, waiting for the Captain to join her. 

“No I don’t think sake would be particularly good especially if we plan on riding another one of those coaster things. I’m sorry you don’t like this sweet cake. I’m sure, if you wanted me to, I could find something around here that isn’t sweet. There has to be something here....humans aren’t that unhealthy to only eat overly sweet cakes are they?”

Taking another sweet bite, she couldn’t help but hum at the delicious burst of flavor in her mouth while looking around at the random rides and stands.

“Everything looks so incredible I don’t even know where we should go next. If I were a human I would be here every day just enjoying the sights and sounds of the park. I don’t know how these humans continue with their jobs and aren’t all obese......especially with these snacks. Its almost too sweet for me.....almost” She smiled, taking another bite.

9.Tripping up/down the stairs.

Saying multitasking wasn’t her strong suit was probably an understatement when it came to this day. It seemed like no matter what she did something ended up messed up or half done before she was forced to move on to something else. 

Exhausted and over worked, Momo lost her footing while running back down the stairs she had traveled multiple times only to land face first into some strangers leg. 

“Oh….oh my, I’m so sorry. I didn’t hurt you did I?” She asked, appalled and embarrassed.

Tsukishima nodded understandingly, even if he wasn’t privy to whatever she was talking about. He was aware that some divisions had taken losses, but he didn’t know the specifics. He did know how to appear appropriately sympathetic, however, and he made use of that skill now. 

“A tour would be lovely,” he said with a smile, “but only if you’re certain it won’t be a bother. Otherwise, I am quite capable of wandering on my own as I’ve been doing.” He wasn’t even really certain why he felt the need to familiarize himself with the infrastructure of the various divisions. Curiosity? Survival instinct? It didn’t matter, no knowledge was useless in the end.

“Of course, if you don’t mind we can start with my office. That way I can put this stuff back down and then give my attention to you fully” She smiled, turning to lead the way back up the stairs towards her office. “It’s no bother at all! After all after rudely running into you, its the least I can do.”

She used her foot to slide her door open, takin a moment to set the files down onto her desk before turning her attention to the task at hand. 

“Alright, this is my office. I am the Lieutenant here, and the Captains office is next door. This office is mainly seated officers, its usually pretty quiet but we have an audit coming up so its a little crazy especially with our new Captain. If we come this way, this is the way to our training grounds” She smiled, leading the way back out. “Is there anything you’re particularly interested in?

Giving the lieutenant the not unimportant task of searching out parts had clearly been one of his better ideas, Rose thought. The task seemed to perk her up again; whatever worry she’d been holding to, vanishing into the background now that she had something to focus on. 

Momo moved away from the desk and Rose focussed his attention on putting the parts they did have into the right order, hoping it would help them when it came time to put the thing together. It took no time to do and Rose thought he’d done a pretty good job considering he’d never seen the thing before. Most of the parts seemed to be there, but without having been there when Momo took it apart, Rose knew he couldn’t be 100% sure. 

Rose looked up and smiled brightly at Momo’s call, noticing the faint glint of something silver in her hand. He moved away from the desk to where she stood, wanting to examine whatever it was in more detail.The spring was tiny, just the kind of thing that could easily fly off a surface and become lost forever; it was a stoke of luck the lieutenant had been able to spot it. Rose couldn’t help but admire just how observant she was. 

“Good job, lieutenant. Let me put it with the rest”

Spring in hand, Rose bought it over to the desk and added it to the collection of parts, certain this had to be all of them now; Momo’s search of the room had been thorough and Rose was sure, any other parts wouldn’t have escaped her notice. Now all they had to do was assemble the parts.

“What do you think?” he asked, beckoning Momo over to the desk to examine his efforts “Does this resemble how the pen looked before you sneezed?”

“Of course, here you go” She smiled, all to excited to see the work that Rose had done with the pen.

As she walked over to the desk, she couldn’t help but to stare in awe as the splayed pieces looked almost exactly like what she had before everything had gone to hell. With luck and patience she knew, once the spring was placed and all the parts put back together, this just had to be the way it went. It would be perfect!

“That looks incredible Captain! Wow, I thought this was going to be hopeless I’m so happy you came along!” She beamed up at the other before turning her attention back to the dismantled pen. Biting her lip, she ran her fingertips over the corner of the desk, wanting to quickly put the pen back together but she was afraid she’d mess it all up again. 

She took a moment, mulling over her thoughts before finally taking a deep breath and turning back to Rose. 

“Captain Otoribashi, I uhm...I know its asking a lot but would you mind putting the pieces back together....I’m.....well I’m a little afraid that I’ll mess it up again.”

“It’s okay, I’m happy to help”

Rose offered Momo what he hoped was an encouraging smile. He didn’t want or need thanks, and certainly didn’t think she was being silly. Little things meant a lot  and the most insignificant thing could hold untold sentimental value. If anything, Rose knew he’d take pleasure in helping someone repair something so important. 

He couldn’t help but smile at the way the lieutenant brightened up, bolstered by his offer of help. Her sudden surge of determination was heartening, maybe even a little endearing and Rose had no doubt that between the two of them they’d have no trouble repairing the pen. 

“That’s the spirit” 

He turned his attention to the task at hand, glancing at the dismantled pen and trying to size the task up. Momo had said, the pieces had become jumbled when she’d sneezed and Rose wondered if they had all of them; it would be a little frustrating if they made a start only to find they were missing something. 

“Why don’t you make sure we have all the pieces” he suggested, thinking that giving her  job to do might help her feel a bit better “and I’ll see if I can work out how they go”

“Yes sir!” 

She couldn’t help but be happy at the situation now, at least she had help and two minds were better than one. Once this was all said and done, and hopefully her pen was back in once piece, she could get Rose a gift to show her appreciation. If this worked out, there honestly wouldn’t be anything that could show how much she appreciated Rose’s help. 

“Alright lets see here....” 

With that she knelt down on the floor, scouring around to search for any missing pieces that might have fallen off of her desk after the fiasco. After a few moments she was about to give up, assuming all of the pieces were together with Rose until she finally saw a glint in the corner of her eye. 

“Oh there! I think thats a spring to it!” 

Happily, she picked up the piece and placed it with the others. 

“Alright, I think thats everything. Have you had any luck Captain Otoribashi?”

“Sounds like a lovely idea,” Shunsui agreed, approving both of the kid’s suggestion, and of the sweet, little smile she threw his way. He nodded his thanks to Hinamori, and then plopped down opposite her. He folded his long legs underneath him and leaned back on his long arms, and tilted his head sideways so that he could watch the fluttering flurries of snowflakes out the window. “Nice,” he mused. “It’s just the right kind of afternoon for this. Good thinking, Hinamori-chan.”

Shunsui wasn’t really paying attention to where the kid decided to sit down; he was too busy getting lost in the swirling snow outside.

“I was thinkin’ hot sake, myself,” he said absently, still not shifting his gaze. “You cool with that, kid…?”

Momo sat down on the opposite side of the table, always preferring to look at those she dined with without awkwardly sitting next to them and invading their space. As she sat down she couldn’t help but admire how peaceful the Captain seemed to be as he watched the snow slowly accumulate outside. Truly the soft flurry was a beautiful sight, as she quickly got lost in admiration for just a moment before he spoke once more. 

“Y...yes that sounds great Captain Kyoraku. Hot Sake on a day like this sounds quite perfect”

you-snooze-you-booze:

Shunsui felt like a big, dumb idiot for stumbling around the way he had - but, truth be told, feeling that way didn’t make him uncomfortable. He felt like an idiot for a pretty good chunk of the time, so it wasn’t like this was anything new. He was just glad that the kid didn’t seem to think too much of it, laughing and smiling and all that the way she was.

Her reaction the ride was favorable, too, and Shunsui felt relieved. Now that he knew he hadn’t scared the pants off the kid, he could relax into the day, and focus on showing her a good time. “Cool,” Shunsui replied, matching Hinamori’s smile. “I dug it, too. We’ll have to try a few more later - maybe even a few of the bigger ones, eh?”

Hinamori suggested they seek out some sweet sustenance, and Shunsui nodded easily, agreeing with her. He had no agenda, and nowhere to be, and he was happy to let the kids call the shots. “Sounds great,” he said. “Sweets aren’t really my thing - but that means there’s more for you, Hinamori-chan.” He winked at her, and then sniffed the air, hoping to find the source of what smelled a heck of a lot like fried, sugary dough.

“There, Hinamori-chan!” he said after a moment, puffing up his chest in a display of utter and unadulterated victory. “That cart’s got the words Funnel Cake written on it - I guess that’s what they’re called, huh? Looks pretty funky - and it looks like they’ve got a bunch of different flavors and toppings and stuff. Whaddya say? Should we go check it out?”

“Yes! Lets go Captain Kyoraku! I am excited to try out these funnel cakes!” She smiled happily, running towards the cart as she glanced over the menu. It was overwhelming the different flavors and toppings, honestly she wouldn’t be able to choose even if she wanted to. Taking that into account she simply asked the man standing behind the counter to give her the most popular one before turning back to her accomplice. 

“Captain? You said you don’t like sweets? Aww, well I’m sure there is something here that you might enjoy....is there something that catches your eye? What types of things do you enjoy if not sweets?” She asked with a small tilt of her head. Honestly she wouldn’t know what she would do if she couldn’t have sweets. It was her Achilles heel, if you will, she had a sweet tooth that could rival Yachirus’ she was sure of it. 

After a brief moment the man called for her before handing her the doughy treat and she looked fascinated by its design and appeal. The smell was intoxicating and she couldn’t wait to try it out. 

“Are you sure you don’t at least want to try it?” She offered, holding it up for him. “I wonder why its called a ‘funnel cake’ if its not shaped like a funnel.....its strange looking. I dont think I’d eat this if it was a normal day.....at least if I didn’t know what it was”
