Sweet home🌸of magic

Chen: Oh please, stop pogging around!

Byakuya: *being cold as always* Are you telling me you are unable to handle that?

Head servant: *turning to a stern granny mode* I can handle anything, even some stubborn kids that prefer messing around to talking to their little sisters.

Byakuya: *remembers how the head servant used to chase him with a haircomb when he was little, gulps* Thank you for informing me. I'll be sure to do everything I can to fix the issue.

Byakuya: *knocks Rukia's bedroom* May I come in?

Rukia: Of course, Nii-sama.

Byakuya: *enters, kneels down by her bedside, notices she's reading the poetry he wrote in his years of studies* So you found this.

Rukia: *a bit wound up* You said I had access to the family history archives from first to fifteenth. I didn't touch anything forbidden.

Byakuya: I know, but... You seem to like these, ahem, texts more than you like taking a good rest.

Rukia: When I am reading these lines you put your soul in... it feels like you are here, with me, in this room.

Byakuya: *slightly lost* But... right now I am here, with you. Literally.

Rukia: *sighs, looks away* That's only for now. You will leave in a few minutes. And get to work again tomorrow, or to the clan's business, or leave for a mission...

Byakuya: *processing this all, with a pang if guilt he tries to hide* So you would actually like to spend more time with me.

Rukia: I would... But I have no right to steal your time.

Byakuya: *cups Rukia's face* Don't even think like that. I am not just a chief of this house, I am your family. My time belongs to you at first place, and you may always tell me when you need something.

Rukia: *shyly* I would actually be happy if you... could wish me goodnight at least once in three days. When you are not busy of course.

Byakuya: No.

Rukia: *sighs* I am sorry. I know I have been too bold.

Momo: Wasn't Captain Ichimaru with you?

Cuddy: Wasn't Wilson with you?

Taeshik: *in his office mode* Are you stupid?

Jinah: That's normal in tests season! No appetite, staying more time indoors... If I go today I'll miss the biology test and will have to write it in a spare day!

Jinwoo: Good for you, if you knew biology you'd know it's not acceptable. We are going now.

*they meet Master Choi on their way to the clinic*

Choi: Good afternoon. What an unexpected meeting. How are you doing?

Jinah: *almost aggressive* Master Choi! Please tell my airhead brother that it's normal to have stress headaches! You said "it's a headache" yourself when you looked through the Jeju Island map!

Choi: *would say who's being an airhead here but is too cool for that, recalls his own sleepless nights* I am not exactly the one to look up at.

Jinah: *looking at his magic rings and the whole cool-ass attire* That's not what big brother said about you.

Choi: Here is a deal. The moment your big brother puts your medical documents on my table - if they say it's alright you are getting two tickets for ComicCon.

Jinwoo: ...excuse me?

Choi: With the VIP entrance right near the Genshin and Star Rail stands.

Jinah: You can tell Genshin from Star Rail?

Choi: But if anything, and I mean anything, is wrong, I'll check if your state is treatable with potions. If not, i'll find you a hospital where they will actually work for you and not dismiss you as "just another stressing teen".

Jinwoo: *to Jinah* I'll be sure to tie you to the bed.

Choi: I'll pay the medical bills too.

Jinwoo: *to Choi* What a blasted manipulator you are. Thank you so much.

***

Jinah: You are hopeless. I could go alone by the way.

Rangiku: *lightly mists Momo as well*

Momo: *confused but looks cute with small shiny water droplets on her hair* Uhm what was that for?

Rukia: Is this... Kaien-dono but orange?
