          INTRIGUING  IT  WAS,  the  many  twists  and  turns  of  this  living  realm.  he’d  followed  the  trail  of  petals  until  they’d  diminished  completely,  but  yet  had  not  hit  a  dead end.  minutes  had  become  hours,  any  sense  of  time  easily  lost  by  the  distraction  of  nature.  it  was  only  inevitable  that  along  his  aimless journey  he  would  meet  another  being.

ayato, internally: did he see me? oh god he saw me. just act natural. tell him you have to leave, tell him ur sick. cough in his face. get away from him somehow. tell him ur busy. yeah. busy, that’ll work. im totally busy. act busy. act busy and then LEAVE. do not engage. 

ayato: oh u know im cool. hbu?? 

tao: oh well first i woke up then i brushed my teeth then i had some toast--

       “Hey, what’cha doin’, huh? Long time no see!” After a long and drawn out mission, Tao assumed he was able to say that (even though it’d only been a few days). 

FIVE WORD SENTENCES.

        “Well, thanks for believing in me,” Tao replies, his tone sounds sarcastic but playful. There is a small beat of silence between them. For the last couple days, he hasn’t seen much of Ayato, which he would consider normal since the guy usually went out of his way to avoid him. But when he stopped by to check on his friend (friend used very loosely), he wasn’t surprised to see that Ayato had been feeling under the weather. From speaking to a few of his Officers, he also knew that they hadn’t seen Ayato around either. 

      He narrowly resists the urge to touch Ayato, just to skim a hand over his forehead to make sure he didn’t have a fever. But there’s almost a knee-jerk reaction telling him “NO TOUCHING”, it’s something that Ayato makes sure to remind him over and over–by now, it’s become a mantra in his head. “Of course I care. Don’t sound so down.” 

too bad there was no rinshi in the latest chapter

        If Orihime could be honest with herself, she was more or less lost. The Soul Society was like one big maze - she learned that the first time she managed to make her way inside with her friends. It wasn’t anything particularly unsettling being - how she should put it - a bit misplaced within the many walls and twisting entryways of the Gotei 13 barracks. But she would have to make it back in time for a bit of training with Kuchiki-san and dinner, she supposed. 

        Once she caught sight of an officer a few feet away - he was the only one she’d seen for the last thirty minutes - she was quick to say something, “Ah, excuse me...!”
