kira_douji. You don't need to have read the RP to understand the essence of this piece, but it helps to know that Renji was promoted to Captain of 5th, replaced in 6th by Hataki Nobo (a woman), and that Ukitake unintentionally was transformed into a Vaizard. These facts really aren't relevant, but they help. Also, as usual, stinky title, and yes, damn it, that's a word in English too.
Words: 655. I ROCK THE WORD COUNT. =D
Summary: Some news arrives in the middle of the night, but Jyuushirou isn't dressed for the occasion.
Jyuushirou stirs, realizing that the thunder outside the room is actually someone knocking - and late, too, judging by the light-panels on the clock in the corner. Well, early: two-thirty in the morning. It would probably be wise to answer it, if the hour is any indication of its urgency.
He pushes the blanket off, moving Shunsui's arm so he can get out of the bed, and pulls the sheets back up over Shunsui so he won't get cold. Grabs a haori off the floor, the feel of the cloth unexpectedly fine as he pulls it around himself for at least something approaching decency and checks that Sougyo no Kotowari is in easy reach of the door before answering the continuing knocking.
Opens it to find Ise-kun there, her clothes dripping although she's no longer standing in the rain - no wonder he thought it was thunder in his sleep - and her glasses fogged up. She is wearing an abbreviated version of her normal uniform, as though she was sleeping but discovered something urgent and decided to visit. He steps outside, leaving the door open just slightly behind him, protected from the rain by the overhang, and asks, "What is it, Ise-kun?"
She smiles faintly, glancing at the doorway and the label by the door - Eighth Division Captain Kyouraku Shunsui - but he has been 'sleeping over,' as Shunsui calls it, for too long to even think about being embarrassed, and Ise-kun was already aware of the nature of their relationship. "Since Kyouraku-taichou wished to be apprised of all Vaizard transformations, successful or not, as soon as they occurred, I was just contacted by Kotetsu-san from Fourth Division saying that Hataki-fukutaichou merged with her own inner Hollow and is a Vaizard as well, sir." She glances down, blushes, and then begins staring at his face with some determination.
Jyuushirou, like a fool, looks down, and in the lamplight realizes he's wearing Shunsui's over-haori, its colors luridly pink in the half-darkness. Ah, well. Shunsui would consider it a good-luck charm, no doubt.
"Thank you, Ise-kun," he says, "but you didn't need to rouse yourself so early in the morning on Shunsui's behalf just to give him this little tidbit. I think in future such things can wait until morning - although you needn't tell him I countermanded his orders."
"No, sir," she says, smiling back, probably despite herself. "I don't think I shall."
"Corrupting my vice-captain?" Shunsui asks, resting his chin on Jyuushirou's shoulder, arm wrapping around Jyuushirou's waist and voice sleepy-warm, the white sleeve of a haori visible in Jyuushirou's peripheral vision. "Nanao-chan, he'll besmirch your honor if you give him the chance."
"And you wouldn't, sir?" she asks pointedly, and to cut off whatever reply Shunsui might make - he's more ribald in the morning, oddly enough - Jyuushirou says, "Hataki-kun, like Abarai-taichou, opted to become a Vaizard. She succeeded."
"Your kind are beginning to outnumber us, Jyuushirou," Shunsui jests, tone gentle, before he sobers slightly and asks, "Anything else, Nanao-chan?"
"No, sir," she says, and Jyuushirou apologizes for making her come to Shunsui's quarters at this hour of the night, for his indecency, for the rain -
"I'm quite fine, Ukitake-taichou," she says, businesslike. "I'll see you both in the morning." And soon she's nothing but a shadow, outside the pool of light in front of the door.
"I find it quite flattering," Shunsui says once the door is closed, hand on Jyuushirou's hip, smile easy and a bit mischievous, "that you were wearing my clothing. A bit like those movies where the lady comes to the door in her lover's shirt, you know."
Jyuushirou smiles, moving away from Shunsui and putting the garment on a hanger before sliding back under the sheets, bare skin on cotton. "Like the lady, I'd much rather have been with you than answering the door in your clothing," Jyuushirou points out. "Come to bed."
