       ❛     OH  NO    ,      I  AM  so  sorry   !

                                                      are  you  okay    ?  !       ❜   @orihibae·

                owowowowowow--!!          what had she hit?      a pole?     a wall?    a girl?    A GIRL??

“    haah--!     no,    it was my fault!     are you alright?     my head’s really hard,    i didn’t hurt you,    did i?    ”

bnria·    :    stranger .

a  brush  of  heat,  and  worick  abandons  the  spent  cigarette,  crushes  the  remaining  cinder.  it’s  too  early,  he  thinks.  or  too  late.  too  many  deliveries,  too  many  night  shifts,  it’s  getting  harder  and  harder  to  tell  the  days  apart.

shoulders  roll,  a  crackling  sound,  before  he  pushes  in.  and  hopes  they  sell  coffee,  too.  “ gotta  tell  ya,  whatever  you're  makin’,  smells  heavenly! ”  @orihibae·  //  s.c.

               light filters through frosted glass panes,    bathing the wide alleyway that houses the little bakery in a soft amber glow.          it was intimate and inviting,    especially since the sun had yet to rise.         the open sign,    however,    had not been illuminated.          “    oh-- !    ”          startled by the sound of the door’s bell twinkling,    the lone girl spins ‘round,    a basket of bread held tight against her chest.

               had she forgotten to lock the door on the way in?          orihime opens her mouth,    intent on telling the man that they were not yet open,    but she sees the shadows beneath the man’s eyes and the weariness in his shoulders....         “    ah,    well...     the sweet bread just came out of the oven.      would you like some?    ”

' oh? have you reconsidered being my research subject? '                                                             @allmuse​  ft.  mayuri  kurotsuchi

               “     i don’t remember having considered it in the first place,    taichou.     ”           surely she wasn’t interesting enough to warrant being a test subject for one already so knowledgeable.          “     can i interest you some science projects instead?     ”

‘   they put cream in the bread?   ’   skeptical at first — modern human food being something of a foreign subject to her, after all.   but orihime seemed genuine in her intentions to have korin try the snack.   ‘   ah … it’s good.   ’   /   @orihibae​ , inoue

               fingers gently pry spongy dough apart to reveal the custard hidden within.          the whole bun steams,     heat visibly rising to meet the chilly winter air around them.          “    mhm!      the bakery i work at just started serving them.    ”          half of the little sweet bun disappear’s into the human girl’s mouth,     shortly followed by a smile and a soft,     pleased hum.          “    if i’d know they were going to be such a hit, i would have brought more.    ”          her visit to the eleventh division had nearly wiped out what she’d brought with her.          “    i’ll stop by the seventh division first next time.    ”

“     ichimaaaru-saaaan   !!     ”        the   sing   song   sound   of   her   voice   reverberates   off   tin   walls   ,   accompanied   only   by   the   softer   sounds   of   effort   it   took   her   to   carry   two   rather   large   bags   through   the   door   .        “     i   thought   since   it   was   getting   colder   ,   i   would   make   something   special   .     ”        with   a   heave   ,   the   girl   set   the   bags   on   the   nearest   table   ,   smile   radiant   with   barely   contained   excitement   .        “     katsudon   !     ”
