This story is dedicated to the Hei/Yin FC on Bleach Asylum.

The character's ages are a little different.

Suou bit her bottom lip as she delicately placed her glue dots on the back of her cut up photos. She stuck them down, overlapping each other, into her notebook. She blushed and was not listening to her teacher's lecture on the emperors of Japan. She sighed a little in her daydream and drew hearts around the picture of her and Hei-sensei. She was so pleased that it looked like he had his arm around her. She bent down over her desk to fill in the hearts with her pencil.

"Suou? Are you paying attention?" The teacher asked. Suou looked up and saw that it was Hei-sensei. He was just so handsome with his shaggy bangs and ponytail and not to mention his glasses! Suou blushed and slammed her notebook closed. "Can you tell me the last three emperors I mentioned?" Hei asked to quiz her.

"Umm un…" Suou fumbled with her words as she had not been listening at all for at least the past fifteen minutes. "Unnn… Yamato… and…" The bell rang before she could finish and she breathed a sigh of relief. Her classmates started to pack up as Hei shouted out the homework for the night and reminded them to study--he eyed Suou in particular. She avoided his gaze by looking into her bag as she put her books away; she pulled on her coat and grabbed her bag and camera.

"Tanya! Wait up for me!" Suou yelled out cheerfully. She paused at the door of the classroom and looked over at Hei who was cleaning his writing off the board. "Good-bye, sensei…" She whispered with a small blush and ran out of the classroom to follow her friends.

She ran down the hall at top speed and jumped on her best friend Tanya's back, a beautiful blonde with a very curvy body, and they both yelled but soon laughed. "Suou! You're so heavy! Get off." Tanya said with a laugh and Suou slid off her back a little embarrassed but then Sasha and Irina joined them. They laughed at the way Suou was acting which made Suou upset enough to hit each of the girls.

Once the group of girls got to the gate, they saw a boy leaning against it. The girls started to giggle as Tanya went over to him. Nika quickly turned as his girlfriend approached. He took her hand and saw the giggling girls and stuck his tongue out at them. He quickly led Tanya away and Sasha and Irina turned to a blushing Suou. "Oooh Suou is jealous~!" They said in unison.

Sasha nudged the reddening girl. "I bet you wish Hei-sensei was waiting at the gate to take you home." She teased and Suou huffed.

"Stop it you guys!" Suou said with a stomp of her foot. The other two girls laughed once more then snatched Suou's hand and led her off of the school grounds. Her friends began to argue about if they should go out singing or to go to the café. Suou smiled and felt happy. She chimed in that they should go to the café and try the new drinks they had.

Back in the classroom, Hei had locked the door after the students cleaned up. He sat at the desk and began to grade their papers. He yawned a little and knew it was time to leave. He packed away the papers and books into his bag, he then proceeded to pull his coat on. Hei slung his bag over his shoulder and took his glasses off. He left the classroom and walked through the empty halls. He glanced into a few of the classes engaged in club activities. He left the gates and made his way to the train station.

By the time Hei reached his door, he looked disheveled and his coat was hanging off his shoulder and his bag had slipped off and onto his elbow almost dragging on the ground. He sighed as he put the key into the door and turned it. His bag fell on the floor as he entered. He pulled his shoes off and fixed his coat before picking his back up. He heard a sizzle come from further in the house and smiled. "I'm home!" He called out and put his bag down in the proper place and hung up his coat.

"Welcome home, dear." Said a sweet voice and the sizzling stopped. Hei was pulling his tie down and a petite silver haired woman appeared in the door way of the kitchen. She had on a smile. She wore a simple dress with an apron over it and had the silhouette of a woman mid-pregnancy.

Hei moved closer to her and put his head on her shoulder. He let out an extended sigh. "It was a very long day." He said as Yin wrapped her arms around him.

"I know. I can tell by your tone." She said softly with a smile. She felt Hei's hand move to her rounding stomach, shivering a little when he rubbed it gently.

He moved to stand up again and looked down at his wife's abdomen. "How is the baby?"

"The baby is fine... let's eat dinner, it is finished." She took his hand and led him into the kitchen. There were two bowls on the counter containing noodles and vegetables. Yin went over to add in the meat and Hei took the bowls to the table. They sat down to eat, and Yin listened to Hei slurp his dinner before starting hers. "How was work?" She asked and dipped her chopsticks into the bowl.

"Well as usual… no one listened. I asked one student to tell me three of the last emperors I mentioned...she listed only one and--it was wrong." He said with a sigh. Yin giggled which made him smile. "I still have to grade some quizzes, and I also have to write up a pop quiz for tomorrow since no one was listening today."

"Your class sounds like fun. I'd like to meet them one day." Yin said, before chewing on a bit of cabbage. "Maybe one day after the baby is born." She smiled in Hei's direction. He took her hand and rubbed her knuckles.

"That would be nice." He said tenderly. Hei let go of her hand and finished his dinner. He watched her finish eating and took the bowls to the sink for washing. Yin picked up a damp cloth and cleaned the table off. She joined Hei to dry the dishes and put them away.

Yin laid a hand on her back and yawned. "I want to go to bed already…" She said sleepily and felt bad since her husband had things to do and she couldn't stay up with him. Hei plopped his hands on her shoulders and steered her toward the bedroom.

"I can work in the bedroom, my laptop is in there anyway. Go get ready for bed, and I'll be right there." He left her and collected the papers that needed to be graded. He went back to the bedroom and saw Yin already sitting on the bed waiting for him. He set his papers down near her feet and quickly got undressed to join her. He fetched his laptop from the desk and slipped into bed with her. Hei put on his glasses from the side table and turned on his laptop.

Yin got under the covers and laid on her side to face him. She pulled the pillow down and listened to the sounds of Hei shuffling papers and typing. The noticeable rhythm of his work helped lull her to sleep.

Suou left her friends to get on the train home before it got dark. She ran up to her door looking a little worried. She hoped she wouldn't receive another lecture from her mother. She opened the door as quietly as she could. "Suou, is that you?" She heard her mother call and cringed. "Get in here now! It is time for dinner. You are lucky your father isn't home." He mother sounded agitated at her belated arrival as usual. Suou kicked off her shoes and put her bag down, rushing into the kitchen. Her mother was waiting there with an annoyed look on her face and dinner on the table.

Suou apologized and sat at the table. She ate silently while avoiding her mother's gaze. "Well how was school?" Her mother inquired and sat down to eat with her daughter.

Suou paused and bit her lip. "It was good… I got my test back, I passed." Her mother smiled and nodded, pleased to hear that her daughter was doing well in school. "Sasha and Irina begged me to hang out for a while… you know how I can't say no to them." She lied a little, but her mother bought it, even though she was still peeved about Suou being late.

The rest of the dinner was eaten entirely in silence. Her mother took the plates when she was finished and Suou left to retreive her bag. She paced down the hall and heard a strange voice coming from her brother's room. She opened the door and peeked in. Shion was sitting in front of his computer. "Are you having Len sing another stupid love song to you?" She said sarcastically to tease her brother. He turned around in his wheel chair and stared at her.

"At least I'm not photoshopping myself into the arms of my history teacher." He said in retort and turned back to his desktop. Shion was very into Vocaloids, especially the character Kagamine Len. He had Len paraphernalia all over his room. Suou blushed and slammed the door on her way out. She muttered curses to make Shion's desktop crash.

Suou went into her room and threw her bag onto her bed. She got out her camera and went over to her desk. She opened her laptop and let it warm up. She spun around in her chair as she waited. She looked at all the colorful origami animals hanging from her ceiling and on her wall. She stopped herself when she saw her desktop wallpaper.

She uploaded the pictures she took at lunch and after school and clicked through them to see if they were any good. 'Tanya, Nika, Tanya and Nika, Me, Me and Sasha, Me and Irina, Sasha and Irina, the three of us, school, school, bento…' Suou droned off in her head. She paused for a moment and then came across a picture of Hei in the teacher's room. She smiled a little. Hei was on the phone and looked kind of bored. Suou clicked and there was another picture of Hei this time leaning back in his chair. He was on his cell phone smiling. She frowned a little and wondered who he could be talking to. Suou sorted out the rest of her photos and started on her homework.

Suou had completed her homework by the time she heard her father come home. She knew he was going to lecture her because her mother was yelling. And sure enough her father was in her doorway only a few moments later. "Suou…" He said darkly. "You need to stop staying out late. Your mother hates it...and I hate hearing about how much your mother hates it." He did not sound pleased with his teenaged daughter. Dr. Palivachenko looked up and saw the screen of his daughter's lap top with a picture of her history teacher in an editing program. "What is that crap on your computer?" He asked and Suou just closed her laptop in reply. Now she would have to do all of that over again.

She opened it once her father left the room. She was upset that she had to do all that work again but she got right down to it. It took her a few hours but she finished. Suou yawned and shut her laptop down. She changed into her pajamas and set her alarm for morning. She sighed a little, remembering that she had gym the next day. She settled under the covers and slowly drifted to sleep.
