Here it is, another one for my lovely readers. Two in one day is pretty good, ne? This one was kind of inspired by that cheesy poem I came up with and used in "The Three Hardest Phrases" and "Past Greivances". Other than that, enojoy away!
Good, not good? Let me know.

Eventually
In all his years, Jushiro Ukitake had come to know many things. There were still things he didn't know, but there was one thing he knew for certain about two of his very good friends.
One day, hopefully soon for all their sakes, Shunsui and Nanao were eventually going to admit that they couldn't live without each other.
He was a patient man, so he was patiently waiting for this to happen. He knew that it was definitely going to happen…eventually. It wouldn't be so bad, but unfortunately it was hard to determine if Shunsui was serious or not, and Nanao was too proud to ever admit it to anyone, including herself.
He still knew it was true though.
It was in the way they looked at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking. Their was a type of longing in both of their eyes, something that Jushiro noticed right away.
It was in the way Nanao had to really hide her blush every time Shunsui complimented her.
It was in the way Shunsui hid his glee when she let him get away with something she normally wouldn't, like coaxing her to sit with him under the sakura trees.
It would happen eventually because, as cliché as it sounded, Shunsui was like the sun and Nanao was like the moon.
The moon followed the sun everyday, no matter what, even if you couldn't see it. Nanao would indeed follow him anywhere, she proved that much going against Yamamoto.
The sun also followed the moon though, in the endless cycle that was life. True, Shunsui often followed her. He was always watching and looking out for her, as well as showering her with the affections that she didn't know were real.
It completed the cycle, day after day. This was why Jushiro just sat back and enjoyed the theatrics. It would work out sooner or later.
Eventually they would notice that they were traveling the same path.
