Up the roof
"Wow, what was that for?" Matsumoto looked at the door where Nanao had just left.
"Maybe she doesn't like Christmas…" said Hinamori.
"No way! Who doesn't like Christmas?"
Shunsui was looking at the door . From the moment that Nanao was informed about the party it seemed that she wanted to cancel the whole thing. Was she annoyed that they came to a decision on their own? Was she really against the whole party idea because she had work to do, or could it be that she didn't like Christmas?
"Ladies, why don't you go prepare for the party? I'll make sure Nanao-chan will be there!" He finished with a wink and a smile.
The girls giggled happily and left the office talking about what they should wear and what special events should take place at the party.
Shunsui sighed and smiled softly, "Here comes the hard part.." he whispered to himself.
"NANAO- CHAAAAN!" He went out to look for her.
Nanao was sitting on the roof of the eight squad's office. It was one of Shunsui's favorite sleeping spots during spring time but during winter it was unoccupied. Exactly what Nanao needed, some time alone.
'They are all obsessed with their party…fine let them have their fun'
She looked up at the clouded sky. It was chilly so she had a blanket thrown over her shoulders. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the silence. It was nice like that. She didn't have to think about anything…
'Christmas party…What's so special about it? I always spent Christmas alone back at Rukongai. It was just another winter day. Nothing special. Then I joined the eighth squad. We have a party every year, everybody gets drunk and in the end I'm charge with finding where has Kyoraku taicho fallen unconscious again.' Nanao sighed.
'Nothing out of the ordinary, I do that every day' she thought somberly.
'The only difference I find is that in Christmas parties Kyoraku taicho wears that ridiculous hat with the mistletoe attached in the front and runs around kissing every girl happens to be unlucky enough to be in his way…' she thought annoyed.
She didn't know what was it that annoyed her most, the fact that her taicho was making a complete full of himself or that he was chasing those girls.
'Damn fool…' she was angry again at him and at herself for having those thoughts.
Her face softened a little. He always chased her around too with his stupid mistletoe…She never let him kiss her though. Only once, two years ago he managed to surprise her and kiss her on the cheek. She had flushed furiously and beat the crap out off him but he stood there laughing feeling very proud to have finally snatched a kiss out off his Nanao-chan.
She smiled slightly on this memory and brought her hand on her cheek where he had kissed her.
"A bottle of sake for your thoughts.." she heard his deep voice and felt his warm breath on her neck.
She jerked around and found him sitting next to her, his face an inch away from hers, smiling softly at her.
Her eyes grew wide for a moment as he slightly leaned towards her.
'What…is he ..trying…to …do?' She found her composure at the last moment and she backed away looking at him nervously.
His hand came up and caught the side of the blanket that had fallen off of her shoulder with her sudden movement.
"Taicho." She said as firmly as she could.
He completely ignored her as he pulled himself close to her and wrapped himself with the same blanket. They were so close that their shoulders were touching. Nanao shivered and she knew it wasn't from the cold wind. He must have felt her shiver because he wrapped a strong arm around her shoulders and held her tight.
Nanao was frozen. Again not from the cold wind. She stood there with his hand pulling her close and she…did nothing. She felt so warm and safe there that for a moment she thought about closing her eyes and falling asleep. She almost did actually. But then her self control returned and started functioning again.
She stiffened visibly and spoke with a voice that could match Hyourinmaru in coldness.
" Taicho apart from inappropriate and unnecessary this act is plainly foolish. We'll both catch a cold like this. If you wanted to sit on the roof you should have brought yourself a blanket." With that she turned to look at his face.
He was smiling slightly again and was lazily looking straight ahead.
"Hmm, but it's nice and warm like this. Don't you think so Nanao-chan?"He turned and smiled warmly at her.
She felt blood rush to her cheeks and tried to get up.
"I'll bring you a blanket sir"
"Sit down Nanao," he said and held her down " I'm fine like this, are you cold?"
She looked away." No sir.." she answered in a whisper.
"Good!" He smiled broadly again. He stayed silent for a moment. He didn't want to spoil the moment, it felt so good! But he knew what he came there for.
"Hey Nanao-chan, can I ask you something?" He looked at her and almost felt sorry for her. She seemed so uncomfortable and ashamed. He noticed that she was looking around probably afraid that someone will see them.
He laughed and she turned to glance at him surprised and irritated. Not only was he making her uncomfortable (mostly because she enjoyed the embrace), but he was making fun of her as well!
"What is it? " she asked. He was still laughing. " What's so funny?" She asked again and the vein appeared on her forehead again.
"Yare yare Nanao-chan," he answered when he stopped laughing " you don't have to worry! Nobody is crazy enough to come on the roof to spy on us!" His smile went from amused to sly as he continued " We're here alone nobody will bother us and now we can.."
BWAM
"ouch"
"Now we can what sir?" She asked irritated, the vein still on her forehead.
"Talk Nanao-chan, what else? Yare yare you don't have to hit me so hard!" He complained rubbing his nose.
"Can't help it sir" She said with a smile.
"You're so cruel Nanao-chan," he pouted like a little child but in an instance he was smiling again. "That's what I like about you, you're an ice princess!"
Nanao cleared her throat uncomfortably. 'Right..now what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Well for starters lets talk about you being my Christmas date..?" He closed his eyes waiting for the fan hit but it never came. He opened one eye hesitantly and looked at her. She was looking down at her knees and her smile was gone. She looked sad. He felt a pain inside his chest, he didn't want to see her like this…
"What's wrong Nanao-chan?" He asked her gently.
"Well.." She started uncertainty in her voice.
Shunsui looked at her expectedly. And then he stopped breathing. Something was gleaming in her eyes.'Was that… a tear?'
