Sasuke dropped a towel on Hitsugaya's head, taking a seat next to him on the bed. No words were spoken as the shinigami pulled the towel off of his head and dried off his hair. Slight worry shone in Sasuke's eyes as he avoided eye contact, opting to watch the storm through the window. Hitsugaya glanced at Sasuke briefly, leaving the towel around his neck.
Shinobi and shinigami sat in silence for several more minutes before Sasuke, finally, spoke up.
"Told you to go inside. That doesn't mean you do and then leave when there's a tornado out." Sasuke tried to hide it, but there was still a slight huff in his voice.
"I had to. I wasn't going to leave them out in that storm." Hitsugaya's voice was firm, almost a little cold. His arms were folded over his chest, staring out the window as well as lightning crackled, followed by rattling thunder.
"Something could have happened -"
"But it didn't. I'm fine."
"Toushirou!" Sasuke practically snapped, turning an intense glare onto the shinigami, catching his full attention. "I watched my entire family die before my eyes and I will not risk losing anyone else!" Sasuke looked away quickly, a light flush on his cheeks. He shook just barely, but it was something Hitsugaya caught anyway.
His features softened, a moment of silence passing before he returned his gaze to the window, "I'm sorry."
Sasuke shifted on the bed slightly, hair hiding his eyes from view as he nodded. That was good enough for him.
