Been thinking about writing this for a while, it's still a though in progress so I'm just going to see where I can go with this.

Not many things could make Mayuri worry, he could count on one hand the number of times he had been baffled, disturbed and worried in his whole entire life. He thought about killing his lab assistant for making a joke in such bad taste, making him actually startled and almost spilling his tea. He kept wondering who would actually joke on a manner such as this, and the man's terrified look was one he did not recognize.
He laughed to himself, he had a bad wrap for being violent towards not only his squad but members of the soul society also. So killing this particular man on his first day wouldn't help his reputation at all. Not that he cared about such a thing anyway, what mattered was that she was actually here, and why she decided to make such a sudden appearance on the first place.
When he stepped into his office he was annoyed, it was bad enough she was in his office, but now it seems she made herself at home. He was a captain, people shouldn't feel so freely about coming into his office when he was there, let alone making themselves comfortable when he was not aware of it. He was ready to scold her, one for carelessly tossing her belongings on his desk, and two disappearing when he took very important time out of his day to greet her.
It didn't take him another second to know where she was, he stepped out to the balcony of his office and sure enough she was sitting on the banister looking out over the soul society with her back to him. "Why are you here?" His words were curt, he wanted to get straight to the point, he didn't have the time for bull shit, awkwardness or beating around the bush.
He hoped he could make peace quickly so she would take her leave and things could go back to normal, as much as he loved the reaction of cause and effect, this is one he wasn't quite prepared for. "How cruel, you don't even have the decency to pretend you missed me." Her voice was different, that was the first thing he noticed. The second was the kimono she wore had the twelfth divisions symbol on the back.
Despite the situation she smiled at him, looking over her shoulder to make eye contact with him in the first time in fifty years. Her eyes were the same, that was just about the only thing that was, that and the fact she still liked to wear his captains haori. She used to steal it and sleep in it every night much to his displeasure. When she left he gave her his extra one he never expected her to get it made into a kimono and for her to wear it around.
It was flattering in away, it was definitely not a bad thing for an attractive girl to walk around wearing a symbol in his honor. It was probably one of the reasons he had so many willing sponsors. "Adellia?" It was almost a question, the last time he saw her she was at least a foot taller than her, she didn't even come up to his shoulder then. Now he could easily look down to her, rather than straining his neck like he used to, or going out of his way to sit down to speak to her.
Her hair was longer, it was still the light brown color it had always been , he could tell this even in the moonlight. It was a lot longer now, even flipped over her shoulder it almost met her waist. "You don't seem too happy to see me." Mayuri ignored her comment because he was still staring, a lesser man would be gawking by now. He definitely noticed the prominent swell of her breast and the curve of her hips.
The last time he saw her she was still a child, at least in his eyes she was. Mentally she was sharp, and his conversations with her were more than surprising, she was well beyond her years in her mind set. Every time she opened her mouth it proved so. He was a hard man to impress, but somehow she always did so, from her ability to maintain their home, to her input with experiments, even her suggestions on making Nemu more efficient.
What stood before him now was not a girl, this was a woman, even her lips were fuller and her eyes that used to stare up at him so innocently had an intensity that matched even his owned. "I'm just trying to figure you out, my dear." He grinned this time, the shock finally wore off and he understood why she was here. "Come now, sit with me."
They were both pretty shaken in the beginning, well her devastated, him annoyed by the arrangement. He would have never agreed to it unless the perks outweighed the flaw, and she seemed just as much against it as he was, and she promised him she would try her best not to burden him. After the first ten years she volunteered to leave him for research in the human world, he could stop sending members of his squad, and she could go live out the childhood she was missing out on.
She was absolutely brilliant, the things she sent, and the letters she wrote him were always very helpful with his research, but he failed to realize the content of her letters improve, that she aged and matured over the years, she was no longer the little girl they married off to him, but a more mature version of her. He honestly never expected her to return, she said she would come back when she was a wife he no longer had to be embarrassed of, when she was fit to be his other half, when she was ready to be by his side.
Was this what her being here was all about?
Still Iffy on it oh well, thanks for reading -Chesxca
