“ Living a good life, full of good vibes and YOU “

[hiyorisarugaki]

Hiyori: So how’s the most beautiful person in the world doing today?

Rose: *not looking up from his sheet music* I don’t know, how are you?

Hiyori: *voice cracks* I’m fine.

@whipsandsonnets replied to your post: He arrives back in Seireitei that evening,...

She felt so much more brittle and fragile tonight, and the smile on his face faded the moment she hurried over to embrace him, a wetness quickly spreading over his shoulder as she silently cried in his arms. He tightened his hold on her, instinctively aware that she was…incredibly upset. A soothing noise crooned from his chest, his hand sliding up to cup the back of her head, gently patting her a few times.

“What’s wrong?” he asked softly

how was she supposed to explain something she didn’t know how to tame or deal with? she only knew how it felt but nothing more. and his asking her what was wrong only made her feel all the more pathetic and small. which made her weep not as quietly as she had been at first. her hands digging into his captain’s haori as her tears stained the front of his uniform. she was making a mess she knew but she still didn’t want to let him go. what a rollercoaster this was. from feeling so angry she could burst to feeling so utterly miserable. and she knew she was making him worry by not saying anything. but she just couldn’t find the words and just continued crying instead.

         There was an innate kindness in the young Shihouin master’s open, smiling demeanor that appealed to Rose, and he could not help but smile back at the youth’s enthusiasm, warming slightly more to the boy.

              “ Unfortunately, I’m afraid to say that I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the technique of preserving persimmons…but you sound like you may have some idea of how to go about this process, Yuushirou-san. ” Rose pondered the situation briefly before coming up with what appeared to be the most appropriate solution.

              “ Since it is like this, would you like to come over one of these days to demonstrate how it is done? As recompense for your assistance, when the dried persimmons are ready, you may have as many as you wish. ”

         Rose would have consulted his Lieutenant, but this was a topic that was still a bit sensitive, it seemed. Perhaps it would take some time more before the wounds of the past had healed enough to the point where the thorns would no longer hurt the ones still living.

───── A beaming grin almost seemed reflected in radiance just from having Rose smile- like the cheerful boy was almost happier just by brightening someone's day. Even if it was just a lil' bit, Yuushirou was genuinely thrilled.

     “R-really? You’re not just saying that, right?” The mocha young man rushed out, practically tripping over his words to answer before he realized how he was appearing. Back straaaight, cordial expression, and lower your tone... ah!

     “Ahem. T-that would be very much appreciated sir.” he gulped, before a sneaky little smile arose back upon those lips. Head tilted just enough to mimic a curious cat slowly thinking something over in a sunbeam was practically expected, given his following words.

     “Where would you like to hang them to dry? People like using all sorts of machines to dehydrate ‘em in the world of the living, but... I think there’s a bit of charm doing it out in the open so there’s a bit of golden color around. Just like your hair, Rojuro taichou!

@whipsandsonnets Cont. from here 

--- “He is not.” He had to admit. But Asuka was certainly the one most vocal about his dislike for Otoribashi. Rikuu, for example, with his quiet and efficient productivity, kept his opinions to himself. It was obvious in his manner and energy though that he was distant and expectant where it came to their new{ish} captain. And then there were the lower seated officers, quiet murmurs in the hallways, not so quiet shouts when the alcohol came into play. And below even that the foot-soldiers, that had very little opinion of captains, except for having knowing that the last one had been bad, and the new one had yet to prove himself. There were some that actually remembered Otoribashi, but those were few and far inbetween, and apparently the blond captain’s reign had been short enough back then that they did not know whether they could speak on his behalf.

      He watches his captain as he speaks. ‘It is fine’, those are his words, though Izuru is not entirely sure whether he can believe that one hundred percent. Of course a leader does not have to be liked, but, against all odds, Gin had been liked... There were those that even missed him. He had had a way about him, Izuru had to admit. Perhaps the Third was scared to like the new captain for that reason, too.

      He nods slowly, clasping his hands over his desk. They like me better than you, he wants to say, but that seems too harsh, and tipping over the line towards insubordination. Though there certainly are those that wonder why he could not keep the captaincy { not that he wanted it }. And there are those, Asuka, for one, who are fiercely loyal to and protective of him. 

      “It does not bother you at all..?” Perhaps he is poking the bear, but somewhere he believes their captain should want their division to like him.

“Captain Otoribashi, I was wondering if there was some kind of trick to getting Captain Muguruma to...not wanna flatten Lieutenant Kuna.” There had to be some reason that she was an had been his lieutenant, but it seemed like her personality as a whole just grated on Kensei’s last nerve. She was wondering if there was anything she could try and do that would make her Captain and Lieutenant not butt heads so often.

“Kensei, I won’t mind offering a performance in exchange for dinner.”

No. N and O means no.

“You do it a little at a time. You do it by being just a little more brave. You do it by being just a little more loving. And before you know it, the pain is nothing compared to all the love you have brimming in you, and there is no horror in this world that can blacken your heart. But you have to start somewhere, Hiyori. Be brave.”

“What if yer not capable of it? All I see is red sometimes. Love and wrath can’t exist side by side. It’s unnatural ‘ta love the world that hates you.”
