Firsts
The first times Sakura saw Byakuya do things that she thought he wouldn't .

His first smile
"No , you're lying ." She choked , tears brimming in her eyes . The messenger bowed apologetically . "I'm sorry Sakura-san but I'm telling you the truth ." He then disappeared , leaving the distraught girl to her thoughts .
Her brother in everything but blood had just died on a mission .
She was going to miss Naruto's boisterous laughs , his bright grins and his comforting voice . She regretted not being able to say how much she loved him and how much he meant to her . It was too late .
He was gone .
Byakuya sighed , standing in front of his fifth seat's front door . He had heard of her depression and had come to try and bring her out of it . As far as he heard , no one had been able to bring the girl out of her room , let alone her house , for the past two weeks . He held the wriggling bundle in his arms tighter and rose a fist to knock .
Knock , knock
The door opened ten seconds later , revealing a red-faced , teary-eyed and sniffling pink haired shinigami . "K-Kuchiki-taichou…"
Byakuya stared at her for a while before holding out the box that had holes on the sides and top .
Sakura was confused , but accepted it anyway and opened it .
Byakuya gave himself a mental pat on the back at the smile that bloomed on her face . He couldn't resist a smile of his own and let it play on his lips for five seconds before it disappeared .

His First Laugh
It was a regular afternoon at the 6th division office ; paperwork , training , more paperwork and things like that .
Sakura was bringing a tray of tea for herself and her captain . It was a routine for them nowadays .
Humming softly to herself , the pinkette made her way through the division and greeted those she knew , which was basically everyone .
Finally , she arrived in front of the large double doors and waltzed in , not bothering to knock . Byakuya looked up from his paperwork and inclined his head . "Sakura ."
She nodded back and placed the tray on his desk , pouring the tea into the cups with practised ease . Sakura handed him one and took a sip from the other , enjoying the warm feeling it gave her .
They sat in comfortable silence , preferring to just bask in each other's comforting presence .
"Kuchiki-taichou ," Sakura said suddenly .
She took the slight turn of his head as her cue to continue .
"Are you ticklish ?"
He couldn't help it .
He laughed .
No , not a chuckle .
A laugh .
And it confused the hell out of Sakura .

Meh , too lazy to do anything else . Bye !
