He lets the man hold him tightly, head on his chest…whispering softly in a soothing tone. His partner is hurting and he wants to do whatever he can to soothe his hurt, even if he can’t take it away fully. “Do you want to go to our room for a moment, it’s private there.”

Byakuya didn't say anything. He just kept Toshiro close, his hold tighter than he usually does when they're at home.

A few tears fall from his own eyes, feeling the pain and heartbreak radiating from his fiancé. Byakuya had never fallen apart like this in front of him, so he lets his partner cling to him, lets him cry…using soft words to reassure him. “I’m right here. I’ve got you.”

After a moment of Toshiro being in his arms, Byakuya just falls apart. Soft sobs could be heard from the noble captain. Tears silently fell down his cheeks as he practically clung to his fiancé.

Once Renji leaves he waits a moment, until he hears that shaky breath. That telltale sign of his partner trying to keep it together when all he wants to do is break down. So he approaches quietly, coming up to him slowly and stepping into his arms for an embrace. “I’ve got you…”

With that conversation over, he took a shaky breath. He pinched his brow, keeping back tears. That was..harder to talk about than he dared to admit.

Toshiro didn’t mean to overhear the conversation Byakuya was having with Renji, truly he didn’t. He does not make it a habit of eavesdrop on his partners conversations. He only was trying to make sure things were ready for the reception but heard their argument and stopped to hear them.

He came home late, dragging his feet and immediately lying down face first on the bed…not even bothering changing out of his uniform…basically falling into the bed.

He’s sitting at his desk today, that silent sort of irritated as he fills out his paperwork. Grip on brush too tight, ink too dark on the papers, and shoulders tense.

I need to visit Kukaku soon…

Do you think if I went to the fair with Byakuya that he’d go on rides with me?

He’s ready to go home, hopefully for the weekend, but knowing his work he may be busy…though he hopes he gets to stay home.

@noblexcaptain6.bsky.social On a short break between meetings he grabs his phone to message his partner, Kisari’s words in his mind. He’s not worried per se but he’s definitely not fully at ease so he wants to check in. 📲 Noble Blossom 🌸 How are things going today?

📲 Okay I’ll do that. 📲 Have a good rest of your day Kisari.

📲Again, you're gonna have to ask my cousin. He's being a bit of a control freak today.

That’s…vague and adding concern onto his list of feelings today. 📲 Thats concerning but alright, I’ll do that. Was only asking to see if he was in a good mood or not. 📲 Things are being handled here, if you need the afternoon off after the meetings just message me.

кιѕαяι кυ¢нιкι@kuchikixbranch.bsky.social · last wk.

📲U H...I don't think I am the right person to ask. If I am honest, I don't know if I am allowed to tell you. Message Byakuya maybe? Sorry for being vague.

He sighs softly at the response, not because he’s upset, but because he wishes he could offer some help to Kisari and Byakuya… 📲 Alright, glad to hear it. I’ll see you soon then. 📲 Uh oh, that doesn’t sound good. Everything going to be alright? Will Byakuya be pissed when he gets home?

кιѕαяι кυ¢нιкι@kuchikixbranch.bsky.social · last wk.

It would be about twenty minutes before Kisari responded. 📲 Yeah..don't worry boss. I'll be returning to my post this evening. Just a lot of..diplomatic bs to deal with.

A soft chuckle as he grabs his phone, searching his contacts. @kuchikixbranch.bsky.social 📲 Kisari Hey are the Elders going to give me my partner and my Lieutenant back at any point? I’m bored here by myself.

He’s been at work for hours already, munching on an apple, and very much wishing he was anywhere but at work. Wondering if Byakuya will have to work over the weekend too or if he can ‘kidnap’ his partner.

My soon to be husband is the sweetest man. He got me flowers just because. We’ve both been really busy and not had a lot of quality time together this week, so he had flowers delivered to me. I love him, that’s the man I’m going to spend the rest of my days with. @noblexcaptain6.bsky.social

He thinks for a few moments, he doesn’t necessarily need anything from the man but…it’s nice to speak with him again. “Nothing in particular comes to mind but…I’d like to sit with you and talk for awhile, if that’s alright? I’m sure there’s a lot you have missed.”

He inclined his head gently, lowering into a slight bow, and smiling. He too felt the wave of nostalgia, but said nothing. Instead, he cocked his head slightly, and several joints popped before he sighed in relief. “In that vein then, what can I do for you today Toshiro?”

@noblexcaptain6.bsky.social He’s just ‘sneaks’ into his partners office at lunch time and sets the food boxes he brought on the desk… Walking around the desk and plants himself firmly on his partners lap and hugs him…burying his face into the man’s neck.

He liked his ring…oh I’m so glad…he liked it!

That rare handsome smile never failed to make his heart melt, seeing it brings him so much joy…even more so when he is the cause. He leans into the hand on his cheek, smiling as he returns the kiss and closing his eyes as their foreheads rest against one another’s. After a moment he reaches +

He leans towards his fiance, a gentle hand holding his right cheek as he pulling him into a soft kiss. Upon pulling back, his forehead rests against his partner's. "Of course I want to still marry you."

He holds his partners hand tight as he leads them to the gardens, leading him to one of the cherry trees and stopping. He takes a deep breath, clearly nervous, and begins to speak. “It’s been brought to my attention that…while you’ve given me many things to show I am yours…I’ve not done the same +

Toshiro has been acting rather odd lately. He could only imagine as to why. Standing up with him, Byakuya gave his hand a brief squeeze. "Of course. I'll follow you there."

He takes a deep breath, hesitating for a moment, before standing and attempting to pull his partner up to his feet. “Will you come with me to the gardens first for a moment? I promise I have a point.”

"Hm? What is it?"

//I lost one of my posts? wtf

He listens quietly, his worried gaze softening at his partners words, intertwining their fingers together. “Well…they are going to have a hell of a time with me around…because I’m not going anywhere.” He’s gives the man that cocky little smirk he should know very well by now. +

“You would? I suppose I wasn’t…” He glances at his partner, a soft sigh escaping as he moves to reach for something. “Well…she’s a beautiful woman, she seemed delightful, she’s a Noble by Blood, your family actually approves of her, you wouldn’t have to fight them at every turn…”

𝘉𝘺𝘢𝘬𝘶𝘺𝘢 𝘒𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘪@noblexcaptain6.bsky.social · 3w ago

"Perfect? I would like to highly disagree with you on that matter. That woman has a list of flaws. You weren't here when she first arrived." Byakuya rubbed his forehead, "Do enlighten me, why you believe Lady Yoshika is perfect?"

Opening up about insecurities is never a good feeling, but he also has something sweet in mind later… Depending on how things go

He takes another breath, staring down at his hands. “I’m not worried about you leaving if that’s what concerns you, you were telling her of how you proposed when I came in…so I’m not worried about that. I just….she’s perfect…kind, proper, beautiful, a noble…and I’m not.” Another moment, “By all+

Byakuya remained silent, leaning back in his seat as he listened to Toshiro. He gave a brief nod, giving him the go ahead to continue. If something needed to be said, he would do his best to listen.

He pauses, closing his book with a sigh. Taking a few moments to gather his thoughts…as many of them as there are running through his brain. “It’s stupid, it seems stupid. She was delightful…and I know it wasn’t something that was planned. It’s got me thinking though…”

𝘉𝘺𝘢𝘬𝘶𝘺𝘢 𝘒𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘬𝘪@noblexcaptain6.bsky.social · 3w ago

A soft sigh leaves his lips. He could feel the chilling gaze of his partner on and off for the past hour. "You look like you want to say something, Toshiro. If there is something on your mind, you are welcome to say so."

Sitting at home reading a book with Byakuya at his side, unable to truly focus on what he’s reading, because he occasionally glances at his partner. There’s been a lot on his mind lately, some good and some not so good.
