He gave a short nod. "I have no need of it, and I figured you would put it to better use than collecting dust in a closet." He gave her a faint smile,"I had that tailor made for her on our wedding day. It's a shame she never got a chance to use it. Take care of it for me, will you?"

“Thank you brother, that’s very thoughtful of you.” She takes the blanket with a smile, pausing in shock when she sees the letters stitched into it. “This is…Hisana’s blanket? Nii-sama…”

"I'm..fine. The temperature is supposed to be low this evening. So I brought this for you to keep warm." He held out a pink and white blanket made from silk and wool. On the folded edge near her, a stitching of two letters could be seen in black. H. K. ♡

She’s humming along with the song in the movie, something about soda, and turns when she hears the knock. Pausing her movie she stands and goes to open the door. “Oh! Brother hello, how are you?”

Byakuya gives her door a gentle knock as he holds a folded blanket over his left arm.

She’s sitting in her room in her pajamas with a bowl of snacks and a movie, she’s having a nice day today.

Pulling his head back, he gives a nod as he takes a deep breath. "That would be..preferable."

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.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last wk.

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.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last wk.

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.

Drags @roaringrenji.bsky.social outside of the Hitsugaya home. He crosses his arms, a stern glare focused on his Co-Captain. "Would you like to explain yourself with that comment you made back there. I don't care if it was meant to be a joke. I don't take the mention of marriage funny."

📲 Good. Be sure to give her the letter I gave you. 📲 I shall leave it to you. Inform me when you have finished your task with her.

Rukia Kuchiki@icequeen0114.bsky.social · 2w ago

She is in the middle of drills, so it takes a few minutes to see she had a message. Smiling she responds 📲 Hello brother! I hope your day is going well. 📲 I have not had a chance to, I was going to see her tonight after I finished with work. I apologize.

[ @icequeen0114.bsky.social ] A message is sent out to Rukia from Byakuya. 📲 Good afternoon. Rukia. 📲 Have you had a chance to see Lady Yoruichi yet?

Even as she surrendered in their conversation, he held his glare, none too pleased that she was on her way to disrespect Rukia. "Mind your tone, Kisari. I'll contact Rukia. You know what you need to do. You're dismissed."

кιѕαяι кυ¢нιкι@kuchikixbranch.bsky.social · 2w ago

"...." She just gives him a blank stare, rolling her eyes as she lets out a loud sigh. "You really need to message her. We can't wait on someon-..." Kisari stops herself, raising her hands up, noting his own glare. "Your event, your problem. Don't look at me."

He pinches his brows, "I haven't heard anything about her boasting with the letting I had Rukia send her. So I assume that's a no."

кιѕαяι кυ¢нιкι@kuchikixbranch.bsky.social · 2w ago

"He's getting suspicious and worried. At least tell him it has to deal with the wedding so he isn't putting ME under the interrogation light. Geez. Has Rukia gone to Yoruichi yet?"

"I'll talk to him about things when things are set. Don't tell him anything. There's no point in having a surprise if everyone knows."

кιѕαяι кυ¢нιкι@kuchikixbranch.bsky.social · 2w ago

"Byakuya, you ass. I don't want to be put between you and your fiance. You need to talk to him..... ...bitch."

It took the man a moment to acknowledge why Toshiro was even bothering with a ring at a time like this. Even with the dates set, a venue in the works and even outfits being tailored, the show of being taken was only on Toshiro's part. He, however, wore nothing to show he was spoken for already. +

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

we’ve fought…been angry…both at each other and with the Elders. Any weaker couple would have given up but…you haven’t given up on me and I’ve felt nothing but loved by you…and I’m certain you are the one I’m meant to love and be with so I’d like to ask you…if you would still marry me.”

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."

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

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?"

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

“I am glad to hear that, I wasn’t necessarily worried about her taking you from me…she was told you are taken quickly and respected that.” He hesitates for a moment more, glancing at their intertwined hands before speaking. "Which actually brings me to the other thing on my mind..."

"My Elders are desperate to marry me off to any noble woman, be it a branch or other wise. They have no respect for my personal wishes unless I make a threat they know I won't hesitate to follow through on." +

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

“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…”

"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?"

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

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.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

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…”

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."

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · 4w ago

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.

Toshiro.. I do hope you're not planning anything irrational.

How do I get these damn elders and these women to leave my man alone…

|| @roaringrenji.bsky.social || While watching over his squad train, Byakuya uttered the name of his Lieutenant without turning to face him. "Lieutenant Abarai. I require a moment of your time. We need to have a talk.." That didn't sound intimidating..

He wouldn't be against the idea. However that is completely up to Toshiro. If he is comfortable with it, then he most certainly can and the view would be appreciated.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last mo.

He will be, maybe tight pants and a tank top but he will be covered. Those other things are for his husband. The possessiveness is very attractive. For curiosity purposes…if he were to obtain a bunny outfit… Would Byakuya like it if he wore it for him?

He better be covered - Don't mind him. He's a little possessive when it comes to who sees outfits on his partner.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last mo.

Don’t worry, if he were to get a pretty little outfit it would be worn only for his husband. When he goes out with Tsuki he will be fully covered. Those kinds of things are meant for his husband and his husband alone.

Well. . . . If he asked.. Byakuya probably would mind. Not admitting that in a crowd or in public at all. Those sort of affairs are meant to be private.

"Try to keep your composure. I am on my way over now." With that, he ends the call and takes out his usual office keys to lock up. Without a second thought, he flash stepped as quickly as he could to the 4th Division.

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last mo.

He sighs in relief, he knew Byakuya would come but he’s trying not to freak out…he needs his husband. “Thank you…I’ll see you there. I’m close, I can see the building. Shit…I can’t lose her Byakuya…”

Byakuya was standing from his seat the moment he mentioned that Rangiku was in critical condition. "Allow me a moment to lock up my office and I will meet you there."

Toshiro Kuchiki@iceking1220.bsky.social · last mo.

is stable for now…not sure how long she will stay that way.” A shuddering sigh, “Can you meet me there? Hisagi is probably a mess…fuck she has to be okay Byakuya…her and the triplets…”
