"Ah, apologies sir, but Captain Kurotsuchi is not here at the moment."

"Is there anything I can assist you with? I do believe we may have improved the potency of your favorite sake by approximately 11%, if that piques your interest."

Queried by @aegisdux “That feels so good.”

dirty talk .

      "Yeah? Why don't you tell me a bit more, in detail?" Ichigo grinned, the younger death god not even bothering to disguise his amusement. He wasn't even sure how he wound up in this particular situation. There was no regret though. He had no reason to regret anything. Maybe later on he would but for now? He was perfectly content as things were.

      Ichigo wasn't known for being respectful toward most anyone. He called Toshiro by his given name, rather than captain Hitsugaya. The same thing applied to Byakuya and any other captain. No matter who they were. His eyes glinted playfully but the expression on his face may show something different.

      Maybe he'd question himself the next day but right now he was having a bit too much fun. "What about this feels so good, hmm?" Ichigo knew there was nothing particularly wrong about what was going on. It wasn't often he was visiting the seireitei at all, given that he lived in Karakura Town still, and would for some time.

      He let out a slightly long hum as he waited for Shunsui to respond to his questions. Ichigo was being respectful enough in that regard, but for the most part, he was a bit of a jerk, or asshole. It really depended on who was asked. He knew that nobody would ever try to put him in his place. Since he could kick everyone's ass.

Queried by @aegisdux sit down before you hurt yourself.

“I NEED TO STOP AND REST” PROMPTS

      Ichigo looked at Shunsui his lips curling into a bit of a grin. "Hmm... no." He didn't need to sit down and he wasn't about to hurt himself because he didn't do so. "I'm perfectly fine. More than fine, even. Not about to hurt myself for not sittin' down." Well, people had been warned that he had a bit of sass to him. More so now that he was an adult in his own right, twenty-seven years was a lot longer than most would likely have lived if they'd had his life.

      "Even if I look tired, I'm not, it's just my face now. You can thank the years I spent fightin' wars." Ichigo dealt with whatever came from those wars too. There were things he didn't talk to anyone about, he had no reason to bring those up to anyone. He wouldn't start now either. Not even Mayuri could torture anything out of him no matter how hard he might try. Not that he'd allow himself to fall into that madman's hands. "I do have to ask though, why are you really here? Surely, you're too busy to visit a mere subtitute for no reason whatsoever." Whatever it was, it better not be trying to call him in for yet another war.

      He spent quite a few hours working. If he wasn't making coffee in the early morning hours, he was slinging mixed drinks late into the nights. Ichigo kept busy when he wasn't having to run himself ragged fighting enemies. Having the freedom of his own life was nice. The death god could pick what he wanted to do with his life. His human life. He'd long since made his choice. "Also, I'm not interested in marryin' any one of the people who sent letters to me. Maybe you can get them to leave me alone." Surely Shunsui could get them off his back. He genuinely wasn't interested in marrying someone simply because they wanted to marry him.

      Ichigo wanted to choose whoever he wound up with in a permanent fashion. Having some noble send him a letter declaring their undying love and adoration for him made him feel sick. "I'll be choosin' who I stay with for the rest of my life and afterlife. It's not gonna be some stuffy noble from the seireitei." He wouldn't marry anyone in the seireitei at all, least of all a noble who merely wanted him for his status as a hero. He didn't care what may or may not be expected of him, but for now, he was living as a human. He'd also already chosen where he was going upon his death.

@aegisdux asked: ♡ = complimenting them. [src]

Being complemented wasn't something that he was used to at all, especially from someone like Shunsui. "Ah, thank you, Shunsui." As someone who was called the savior of the worlds, he wasn't used to people talking to him like that. He'd not done what he did to get put on a pedestal in any way. Running a hand through his hair he'd shake his head after a moment.

"I do have to ask what brought that on, though. It's not that I don't appreciate it, I do, I just didn't expect it is all." At least he'd not gotten flustered like he would sometimes when someone talked to him like that. Everyone knew that he didn't want to be viewed in any different way. While he'd started off as nothing more than a Ryoka in the soul society, he was friends with most of the captains, and lieutenants now.

Hell, he even had friends in hueco mundo, despite them having gone to war against one another when he was sixteen. Then the second war happened before he was even eighteen. He didn't want his friends to get hurt. That was the thing with him. Being named what he was made him want to protect his friends and his family.

@aegisdux liked for a one-liner

"... Should I ask what you're doing here in the Realm of the Living or should I just ignore it?"

[yumichikah]

Happy belated birthday to you.~

"Ah, thank you captain commander~!"

The prettiest smile was offered to the older male as Yumichika found genuine surprise washing over him. Who could predict that Kyoraku Shunsui himself would appear to deliver some birthday wishes? The man must be busier than most shinigami were on a daily basis after all.

"It's very thoughtful of you to pay me a visit when you must be swamped with work these days. Couldn't be that you're taking this opportunity to run from any unfinished papers for a moment, right?"

Yes, the pretty smile carried just a hint of playful mischief by the end of that sentence.

Shaking a bottle with sake as he received him in his office.

— But here is Ichigo-kun! It is a great surprise! —

🍶✨️

❝ . . . that's for you, right, old man? ❞ he's staring at him with the most deadpan expression. ❝ don'tcha think you should wait? it's still broad daylight out. ❞

no need to mention, also, that he refuses to drink sake as a minor.

[opscurus]

Ichigo would wrap his arms as far as they can go over the clothes his partner wore, always so many layers. The scent of the taller, sake, and body musk was so appealing to him, and he pressed his cheek into Shunsui's chest.

"You're here, work has taken you from me, but no more... please."
