“Can I legally drink yet at this age?”

@bleachintothemultiverse​ from here:

Hiyori often went out a lot with her friends after work. It was a fun thing to do on their days off and her favourite pastime was often going to karaoke and belting out old enka songs where people stood up on edge thinking a menos grande was around because of how bad she sounded. However, as of late, she had noticed that Aizen did not often hang around the other lieutenants- - well, not the ones his own decade or so.

She had asked him to join her and the other lieutenants for drinks. Once Mashiro was out, giggling like a mad woman and rushing after some poor guy, did Lisa rush to go and fetch her… or dump her back to the ninth division. Hiyori wasn’t entirely sure. She was left alone with the awkward and  almost-shy Aizen Sosuke.

“Yeah?” Hiyori added, possessively holding on to her chicken and sake noodle combination which she wasn’t going to let anyone even taste. She glanced at him, slurping loudly. “Ya okay, Sosuke?”

He actually looked like his glasses had misted over and his cheeks had become mildly… pink (?).

The small lieutenant turned to him, one arm still around her bowl of food.

“E-eh?”

Hiyori flushed dully when the conversation turned to Shinji. She was actually quite worried that this had been plaguing Aizen all night and he hadn’t murmured a word to the other girls. Did he think Hiyori would know the answer?

Hiyori took a sad look at her noodles, but decided Aizen needed some consoling. She patted him awkwardly on the shoulder in what she hoped was a soothing motion. “The baldy don’t hate ya, see- and he don’t avoid ya! Look, he literally runs three divisions when he sees me, so- I think yer bein’ hard on yerself. Ya don’t… ya shouldn’t worry about these things.” 

Fuck. Hiyori had never in her life consoled anyone. She was shit at it. And what was she meant to say? Her own relationship with Kirio was amazing and she couldn’t really console Aizen that this is how a captain and lieutenant relationship worked. “... Shinji’s a really nice guy, Sosuke. I’m sure yer gonna get along with him fine. Yer way nicer at talkin’ than I am. People like ya and stuff.”

@viciousvizard Hiyori vc: SHUT THE FUCK UP YA BLUE POWER RANGER

“That’s the best you can do? I very rarely wear blue.”

[kxrotsuchi]

Pokes him. "Oi, come eat, dumbass." // tbtp

“What? No I’m fine, I have to finish this experiment. Just leave the food somewhere for me later.”

Sulking…

Aizen walked into Hiyori's fukutaichou office. "Hey Hiyori. I brought you something" He said before placing down a small wrapped box on her desk. "Happy birthday." He said. There was a bunch of expensive gift cards to different restaurants and on top of that there was a keychain that had a metal yellow Thistle attached to it. Considering that was the 12th symbol. He thought it was nice to get it colored yellow as that is the color for friendship.

The little lieutenant was still busily tidying up a few more reports when there was a polite knock at her door. Well, more like a clearing of the throat and then Aizen announced himself in. Her expression brightened at the sight of her fellow lieutenant, but she was a little curious as to what brought him here today. After all, she had been on her best behaviour recently and not knocked out any of his squad members. Not that she could recall…

However, at the sight of the wrapped box, she immediately knew why he was here. And was actually touched. Aizen was a bit of a shy nerd at times, so to see him with a gift in hand – it was nice.

“Huh? Ya remembered?!”

Of course he remembered. She had only been rabbiting on about it for an entire month!!

Hiyori gleefully tore open the beautifully wrapped gift and was a bit disappointed when she saw just… vouchers?? But as she read further on, she realised just what places these vouchers and tokens were for. All these expensive eateries she had once pointed out to Aizen as they walked together or hung out in between meetings.

All these gifts, as well as the token for the twelfth division – it meant one thing. Aizen listened. He listened to her… like she also had something important to say. Something worth remembering.

He was a good friend.

She offered him a plate of wagashi and thanked him with a wide grin.

“These’re all great!! Thanks, Sosuke! We should head out with the others ‘ta all these places some time, huh?”
