I've always thought of her as more of Shiro's big sister. But I suppose that's only natural, huh?

Sleep

He sits by the bed and watches her still form.

Sitting on the table is a plate of watermelon. The window is open, and it lets in the summer air and the sound of birds.

This is lost on the frowning taicho. One hand chases a seed on the plate; his other hand strokes her dark hair.

Her eyes crack open. "Shiro-chan," she mumbles.

He looks up.

"They got that for you. Shiro-chan? Do you still like watermelon?"

"I'm saving the rest for you," he says, smiling. "And at least call me Toushiro."

She smiles and goes back to sleep.

Well, that was a little less angsty than the previous ones, ne. Taking requests, loving reviews. ^^
