"Oh, nothing that big..."

"During the outbreak, Zombies overwhelmed us. So we took refuge at an amusement park."

"Not the smartest idea, but it worked out. Lots of cover."

"I was distracted."

"Only for a moment."

Really? - wait, why are the little birds in your mouth?!

"He's healing really well." Rukia informed you.

"That's good. "

It has been only a week. Jushiro appeared to be fully recovered. Despite your need to visit him, you refrained. You didn't want to cause extra stress on his weakened body, so you stayed away. At least that was the excuse you used. You were avoiding him. How could you possibly face him after that confession?

"Maybe I should just sneak in. "

There was a chance that he would be sleeping. You could just peep in and out without him knowing. You just needed to see for yourself that he was okay.

"Yosh!"

As soon as you were able to, that's what you would do.

~Five Minutes Later~

I should come back later."

Now that you were standing at his door, you were having second thoughts.

"I can't!"

But you had to.

"I can't!"

You really needed to.

"I can-"

"(Y/N)-san?" you tense, laughing nervously. You'd been caught.

"U-Ukitake-taicho. You're healing really well!" you continued to laugh way louder than necessary, scratching your head.

"Please, end me now. "

Jushiro just smiles.

"I'm much better, thanks to you. Kiyone and Sentaro are also alright. " Lowering your hands, you send him a smile of your own.

"That's good."

You feel much better now.

"I'm glad you're doing okay."

Jushiro steps closer. Your eyes follow his movement. With each stride, your heartbeat followed.

"Surely you didn't just come to say that." He was so close now, and you fought the need to bolt. "I-I..I" you swallowed.

"Did you mean it. What you said. Or were you merely appealing to me because you were afraid I wouldn't make it."

"I-I'd never do something so ridiculous!"

Your yell caught him by surprise, and you clenched your fists.

"My feelings for you..they're real. I've never felt so strongly for anyone. Every time you're around me I can barely think, or speak. Whenever you're around my eyes, I can't help but follow you. M-My heart feels like it'll burst when you smile at me... "

"(Y/N)-san.."

He couldn't believe how wrong he'd been about it all. He lifted his hand, and your eyes shook the minute his hand made contact with your skin. Your cheeks glowed a bright red at the warmth his hand emitted. He smiles, reading your expressions was so much easier when you weren't hightailing it in the opposite direction.

"I'd like a chance to pursue you properly (Y/N)."

"....."

(Y-Y/N)-san!!"

You fainted, and he caught you, chuckling at the content smile on your unconscious face.

"I suppose I should have been more prepared for such a reaction."

From the look on your face, it was certainly a yes.

~~~~

"Hiya!"

You shot upright.

"A dream.."

It felt so real.

You squealed.

"I can't believe I had such a dream about him."

"I can assure you it wasn't a dream."

"U-U-UKITAKE-TAICHO!" you jumped three feet in the air, backing up into the wall.

"W-Why are you in my room!!"

"You had quite the fainting spell, I wanted to ensure you were fine." He smiles, and your eyebrow twitches as you blushed.

"So I didn't dream what you said about.."

"You did not. " He moved closer, and this time he wasn't wearing that innocent smile, but a slight smirk.

"I had no idea I had such a strong reaction over you." Your cheeks only darkened.

"D-Don't tease me." you murmur. He just laughs lowly. "I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself. You're very adorable (Y/N)-san."

"I-I'm not a stuffed animal! " You retorted. Somehow it felt like he wasn't really taking your confession seriously. You weren't a child.

"You're right, I think the correct term is beautiful."

He's looking right at you, and now you feel stupid for not just accepting the adorable compliment, because you're about to pass out again. "Beautiful, strong, admirable, caring. Should I keep going?"

The last part is a whisper, because he's been closing the distance between the both of you.

"U-Uki-"

"Jushiro." He interrupts. "Call me by my name." you gulp. Why did he have to sound so hot when he said that?

"Jushiro.."

He smiles, and you're sure you'll die when he leans in, placing a kiss on your awaiting lips. Everything in your body tenses, and just stare. Unmoving. The kiss isn't that long. He parts, eyes flickering to your own. His palm brushes your hair to the side, caressing your cheek.

"You taste much sweeter than I anticipated,"

You can't give a reply, because he's leaning back in. This kiss is much deeper. A soft whimper escapes, and his arms pull you in. You grip at the robes on his chest.

Your body feels as if it has been set aflame, and it has absolutely nothing to do with your zanpakuto. This was probably the plot of all your dreams combined. His tongue nudged your lips, and you opened them eagerly, dying to have a taste of him. Your grip tightened, and you stepped forward, pushing him to the wall. He groaned, and you just kept going, matching every stroke of his tongue. Every sinful lick was like another eruption in your body. This was everything you'd hoped for, doubled.

Jushiro was the one who pulled back, taking in a couple deep breaths. You weren't doing much better. His eyes had gotten a lot darker, both your face dusted with a tint of red.

"Forgive me..I told myself to exercise a little control, but it seems it's much harder than I thought." You just bury your face into his chest.

"You're...sneaky Jushiro." you mutter against his cloaks. He runs a hand over your head, gazing at you lovingly.

"With you I may have to be." He knew now that he would take any opportunity he had to enjoy it with you. It was a bit crazy to him that you'd been right in front of his face all this time, yet it had taken him so long to see it, see you.

"Arigatou, (Y/N)."

“Well, um. I was just hired on as medical help. I didn’t expect to do anything complex—”

“HE DID AN EXCELLENT AMPUTATION!”

“Ahaha…”

“AS FOR YANOV, HE IS OUR SUPPLY PILOT. I DO NOT SEE HIM. EVER!”
