Hitsugaya Toshiro was not the least bit happy. It was the second time something like that happened to him in his captaincy of the tenth squad. He partly blamed himself for always following Yukiko to those death traps of a party. He also blamed Yukiko for evoking guilt in him everytime he doesn't listen to her requests. Kurotsuchi Mayuri is also to blame for inventing that goddamn sake that turned him to a bumbling idiot.

Toshiro heard the door slid open and it revealed his missing lieutenant. Now that she was there in his office ready to do some work—she will do some work because Toshiro could currently care less about those angry and hungover look—he decided to go off for a walk. After all, he earned it for finishing half of Matsumoto's workload and getting drunk and waking up with a hangover.

Letting his mind wander off as he aimlessly walked to Kami knows where. He started to recall the sinful night he spent with Yukiko. What was he thinking? Being drunk was no excuse. Toshiro felt another headache come along.

He remembered the first time they got into this mess when Yukiko was still in the tenth division. It was awkward for both of them to be around one another. The atmosphere between them was tense and he felt his squad's morale getting affected by it.

They ended with an agreement that it was best to forget these things. Yukiko even joked that if she got pregnant, then he'll have to take responsibility. Toshiro smiled as he remembered calling her silly and reminding her that only those of noble births are able to have children.

Stopping his train of thoughts, Toshiro realised that he was in front of their garden[1]. He felt Yukiko's presence from inside their sanctuary and he summoned the doors. Toshiro took a deep breath before finally opening the doors. He felt a calm breeze blow through the place and sakura petals began falling steadily.

"They fall five centimetres per second. They start at the same tree but then drift apart in the end."

Toshiro was mesmerized as he saw her long hair fluttering in the breeze and her eyes that looked sad and lonely. He walked towards her beneath the sakura tree. He cleared his throat to remove the silence settling between them.

"Yukiko, about last night-"

"Do you want to agree again that it never happened?"

"If that suits you fine."

"Yeah it does. Rather that than have you drift away from me."

"Hmph. At the end of the day you always come running to me though."

Yukiko giggled and it filled Toshiro with warmth. He sneaked a glanced at her and was glad to find that the sad look was gone. Her cheeks were rosy again and he couldn't help but remember the look on her face after their evening activity. Blushing to the ears Toshiro turned around and told Yukiko to come with him to dinner.

She felt her hand holding his. He turned to face her and saw a happy smile. He in return gave her a smile. Leaning his forehead against hers, he felt her warmth and said, "I'll take responsibility of you if you do get pregnant." He saw her blush pink and he let out a small laugh before walking off.

"Mou, Shiro-chan you idiot. That was last time. Forget that idiocy of mine!"

"Yeah, yeah. You coming then?"

"Yes," as she caught up to him she added, "more importantly, did you just try to crack a joke?"

End.

Author's note:

I do not own Bleach. I do own Yukiko and the plot of this fanfic.

And that is that my dear lovelies. The end of a trilogy. So to clear things up:

Yukiko is NOT a virgin in this trilogy.

Yes, Toshiro was her first and it happened when they are drunk and out of it.

I put down [1] because the garden I referred to is in my other fanfic 'Snow That Never Melts' because this occurs in my STNM universe.

That is that. Oh, I also referred to Byousoku 5 Centimetres if you've noticed. I think the aftermath is alright. I enjoyed writing it. It was fun. I hope you guys enjoyed it. Review, favourite, or hate, it's up to you. Ciaossu!
