Chapter 2- Drinking with Shunsui

Jushiro was filing and finishing off paperwork at his desk while drinking some tea when he heard a knock at his door. Before he could say Come in, Shunsui opened the door and came in.

"Hey Jushiro!" He greeted, coming over to his and leaning on it, tilting his hat up a little so he could actually see.

Jushiro smiled, gently lifting Shunsui's hand off his paperwork. "Hi Shunsui; what're you doing here?" He replied.

Ignoring his question, Shunsui looked down at the paperwork his hand had just been lifted off. "Paperwork? Urggh how boring! I'd thought you'd already finished all of yours. Oh well you can leave that for now and come with me~" while saying that, he stopped leaning on the table and pulled Jushiro up from his chair.

"Huh? Come where? And I can't leave it I've got loads to do!" Jushiro objected.

"Come drinking with me of course!" Shunsui said, still attempting to pull Jushiro out of the office but failing, as Jushiro stood his ground.

"Drinking? Definitely not. You know I don't like drinking much, especially with the messes you get yourself into; plus I have work. Sorry Shunsui."

"Awwwww c'mon Juu~! Pleeeeaase?" (Juu being Shunsui's nickname for Jushiro)

"Nope."
"Well I won't leave until you come with me! You spend to long on working, its good to take a break for once! You'll get overworked" Shunsui let Jushiro sit back down, but stayed where he was.

"I'm quite fine with this work, no need to worry. That's alright with me if you want to stay, I'm just not coming out." Jushiro said, starting on his paperwork again.

He'll get bored of waiting eventually and go with someone else… Jushiro thought to himself.

He was wrong.

Shunsui waited around for ages, attempting to distract Jushiro from his work, which was working quite well sadly for Jushiro. Shunsui's pleading and waiting around eventually got to Jushiro.

"Fine, fine! I'll go with you! Only for a little though.." Jushiro compromised, getting up and leaving the room with Shunsui.

"Yaaaay! Thanks Juu!" Shunsui exclaimed, and pranced out of the room.

Jushiro found himself standing outside a bar in the Rukongai, wondering what kind of a mess he'd got himself into.

"In we go! I assure you it'll be fun" Shunsui said, bounding into the bar; with a unwilling Jushiro following.

Shunsui plonked himself down on a bar seat, and ordered two very strong bottles of sake.

"Ah Shun, I can't drink that strong sake..! Let alone a bottle of it" Jushiro objected.

"Oh don't worry you'll be fine… if you can't finish it I'll finish it for you!" Shunsui replied, carefree as always.

"Okay then, but I'm leaving once you've drunk one bottle; I know how you get after more."

"Awwwww.. I can't be that bad"

"Yes you really can" Jushiro thought back to all the various incidents which had gone on when Shunsui was extremely drunk. He turned back to Shunsui to see him glugging down the bottle.

"Shun don't drink too quick..!" He told him. Shunsui put down his bottle and laughed.
"You worry too much Juu, just drink up and enjoy"

Jushiro sighed but reluctantly did what Shunsui told him too, only much more refined.

After about half an hour, Shunsui was already very drunk and attempting to flirt with the ladies in the pub, also attempting to make Jushiro (who was not drunk at all) join in.

One of those ladies was Rangiku.

"Ohhh~ stop being so silly Captain Kyouraku~" She said, sounding drunk as he attempted to flirt with her.

"But me and Juu here are real charmers~" Kyouraku replied to her, receiving a sharp poke from Jushiro at the comment.
"You may try to be, but I'm not..!" Jushiro protested.

"Ah you just try to hide it, but you really do love all the ladies"

Not even bothering to reply anymore, Jushiro just gave him a sharp look then turned back to simply swishing around his unwanted sake in the cup.

The next second he looked round, Shunsui was gone along with Rangiku.

Huh? Where've they gone? He thought puzzled. Getting up from his seat and scanning the pub for them, he heard a few cheers and looked over in the sounds direction; only to see Shunsui and Rangiku making completely fools of their selves.

Shunsui was attempting to juggle sake bottles while Rangiku danced around, spotting Jushiro and calling out loudly.
"Captain Ukitakeee~! Come join in the fun~!"

Everyone in the crowd turned in his direction, expecting him to join in.

Instead before Shunsui could make a fool out of himself anymore and embarrass Jushiro anymore he marched up to the pair and starting dragging Shunsui away.

"Come on Shunsui, we're leaving now!" Jushiro stated while walking out of the pub with Shunsui.

"Ehhhh? But the fun was just starting!" Shunsui wined

"Just starting? That was already enough for me! You're making a fool of yourself, me and Rangiku.." Looking back over his shoulder at Rangiku, who didn't even seem to notice they'd gone.

"Pah, your being too serious~"

"I'm just being sensible.. After all you don't want a hangover in the morning right? Think about the headaches you get."

"I guess so…" Shunsui finally stopped struggling to go back and went along with Jushiro.

Ah finally, we're out of that place now. Now to get Shunsui back to his squad without Nanao-san noticing, otherwise he'll get yelled at as usual. Even though Jushiro definitely did not want to come, his usual kind heartedness made him make sure to spare Shunsui from Nanao's shouting.

Eventually, after dropping off a drunken Shunsui and making his own way back to his house; Jushiro arrived home at 1am very tired.

I haven't been to bed this late in a while… good thing I don't have to get up too early for anything tomorrow. Although it was hectic night, I have to say I did have some fun in some parts.. it was nice to escape from the work.

Jushiro got changed into his sleeping robes and went to bed, snuggling into the welcoming blankets after a cold walk home.

Near the 8th Squad Barracks, Shunsui was also getting ready for bed, in a more sober state than before. Plonking himself down in bed, he sat there in a daze of tiredness/drunkenness.

Juu was right, I'm going to have a hangover… He thought miserably. Oh well, I'll survive; I'm almost used to it. It fun was drinking was Juu too, how long was it since I last went with him? Must be years. It'll be good for Juu too, getting that workload off his shoulders.. I do worry about him sometimes.

Well, Good times for all~! Now to sleep it off…

And with those thoughts, he laid down and closed his eyes.

Not realising he was still wearing his uniform.

Thats it for this chapter :D I relised I kinda ended it in the same way as the last one, with him going bed. I better change the scene of the ending next time ^^'' I'm sorry its quite short! I'll try to make the next chapter longer XD

Hope you enjoyed it!
