It was dark outside, but the taichou's office in the Hachibantai's main building was lit by three thousand candles, one for each of his years. The day had begun innocuously enough. He woke at eleven and arrived in the office at one. He got the usual gifts of sake and shunga art from his squad members. There was nothing from his Nanao-chan. He found her in her office, working at something. After the customary teasing of Nanao-chan, he retired to his office to drink sake with Jyushirou. Things became fuzzy after that and he vaguely remembers singing "it's raining men" outside Yama-jii's office.
But that was then, and now he has found himself tied to a chair in his office. He didn't have anything planned for his birthday so this is not an unwelcomed surprise. He just wonders who it is. Could it be Rangiku? He vaguely remembers hearing a scandalous rumour about her and her captain so that is unlikely. Could it be Nemu? No, she is still in the 4th. Maybe it is a man. In his long life he has explored love with both sexes and would not be very upset if his capturer is a man. In fact, it has been a long time since he has indulged in that particular pleasure........
Movement registers in the corner of his and he turns his head to see his beautiful Nanao-chan, wearing nothing but a shy little smile.
He is shocked, to say the least. Nanao was last on his list. Not because she is not lovely but because she has loved him for so long, without saying a word. Yes he knows............. of course he knows. He would be a blind fool to not have known that his Nanao-chan loved him. He sees the little things she does for him. She makes sure he is brought home after nights of drunken revelry. Keeps him in time for all of his meetings. She even runs interference when his parents visit. His Nanao-chan is truly a gem. He was just waiting for her to make up her mind. He loves her just as much as she loves him. She needed to be sure that binding herself to him, for the rest of their existence, was what she wanted. He smiles at her as she walks closer, naked. It seems that she is his present.
