More To Life Than...
Kyoraku always loved Ukitake but he never built ther courage to finally satep up to him and tell him. But when he finally does, Ukitake informs him close friend that he has taken interest in the new lieutenant of his own Squad 13! Of course, Kyoraku draws back from expressing his love to Ukitake. But how long can Kyoraku take before he gets tired of seeing the two around each other? R&R!
Chapter 1:
I was never really the type to have these feelings bottled up inside me. I was always known to be calm in situations. But this stituation os much different...the one thing I tremble about is when I think of him. I am very much in love with him. If only he knew.....Jushiro....
*~*~*~*
Shunsui just watched Jushiro as he happily fed the carps. He was afraid that if he said something out loud to Ukitake, the expression of leisure would fade away. But Shunsui sighs lowly and walks into the garden. Of course, Jushiro's focus on the carps were now gone. But the delighted look that was on his face only made Kyoraku smile was well. "Shunsui, it's nice to see you out here so early in the morning."
"It's a nice day to be out." Kyoraku answers back calmy. He watched Jushiro as he stood up from the pond. Kyoraku continued to watch his friend.
"What's the matter, Shunsui?"
"What do you mean? Does it look like something is bothering me?"
"Very much so. Am I incorrect?"
As much as Kyoraku wanted to tell Jushiro his feelings... Things that was on his mind...The truth.. Would Ukitake accept these feelings or return Kyoraku's desire of being together as lovers once and for all? The question that Kyoraku had always feared of hearing. He feared both the positive and the negative of that question. If Jushiro was to love kyoraku back, would they be seen as two wrongdoers or worse...Would they still remain as taichou? On the same token, if Jushiro was to deny the feelings of his everlasting friend, Kyoraku would never be the same. It would not only effect our lax Shunsui, the results will always leave Ukitake scathed. So what to so?
Shunisui finally smiles at his friend and shakes his head slowly.
"No, nothing's bothering me. Though, IO did come here to tell you something that has been on my mind for a very long time."
The standard smile that was kept upon Ukitake's face had slowly turned into the expression of curiosity.
"Oh, somehint is bothering you?"
"Nevermind, Jushiro."
And just like that, Ukitake had dropped the topic and moved onto something else. "Then I guess you wouldn't mind hearing a bit of good news?"
"Good news?" Kyoraku repeated. Jushiro's smile grew wider.
"Whatever he is about to tell me must be good news if he's smiling so widely." Kyoraku thought.
"It's about Lieutenant Niwa." Niwa Sakura is the current lieutenant of Squad 13. When Kyoraku discovered that this topic was all about this woman, he felt rather uneasy. In fact, he really didn't want to hear about it anymore. But it was useless to walk away now.
"What about her?" Shunsui finally responds.
Ukitake turns to take a seat at a neabry bench. Kyoraku follows suit.
"I trust you with my secret, Shunsui."
Again, Kyoraku was beginning to feel more uncomfortable. He really wanted to stop this conversation. But before he got a chance to protest, his close friend begins to speak.
"I am very much aware that Sakura is a newcomerhere but I have taken a slight interest in her. In fact, she has also been fond of me..."
And the part that Shunsui hasn't been waiting for....
"I really like her. I shouldn't have these feelings towards her but I can't help myself."
"How do you think I feel when I see you everyday? Do you think I wantto keep my secrets to myself all this time? Don't you think after all of these years of us being close friends, I would develop some sort of feelings towards you? Jushiro Ukitake, I love you."
Or this was something that he wish he had the guts to say. But instead of pouring his soppy love all over his friend, he stands there with the must frauded smile that you can ever see. Even Ukitake took note that something was really bothering him.
"If there was something you wanted to talk to me about..."
"It's really nothing. I'm just a little tired." Shunsui answered. Ukitake looks at him for a moment andfinally gives up.
"When you're ready to talk, my firend, I'll be here to listen."
Ukitake walks off slowly, leaving Kyoraku alone in the garden. Shunsui groans lowly and plops himself on the ground.
"I need a drink."

A/N: So, how was it? I'm shocked that I thought of this new story so suddenly. That means I'll be updating everyday until I get on writer's block. That's bad. That's when I get lazy with the updates. Or did you not notice that pattern of laziness when reading my other fanfics? But whatever. I'll try my hardest to update all of my fanfics. Don't forget to leave me a comment or something! See ya later!
