The two men sat together, drinking sake from bowls, jars pilling up beside them.
Chad had wanted to speak for a while, and hoping the alcohol would lower his inhibitions.
He could remember the ever scary sight of Rukia in cheerleader mode. "Go for it!" Then she had used her feminine wiles to get Matsumoto to cancel her drinking plans for Kyouraku and send Chad in her place.
It had become a mantra in Chad's head. Say something. Say something.
"Nice weather, isn't it?"
Kyouraku set aside his sake bowl and said, "What do you want to say to me, Sado-kun?"
Chad wished the captain had his usual hat on, so he couldn't see his eyes.
"I… you…" Chad had never been very verbose.
Kyouraku move behind him, and Chad tried not to tense. Chad felt strong arms around him and warm breath smelling of sake on his throat.
"Is this what you wanted, Sado-kun?"
Chad nodded, dumbly.
His lips were soft, which somehow Chad had not expected from the rough stubble on his jaw. He leaned back then and Chad felt a pink, flowery kimono laid over his shoulders.
