Thank you everyone who has been reviewing, FanFiction seems to be a bit slow in updating the reviews as none of mine for the last 4 or 5 days have been appearing recently, so I cannot individually reply but wanted to thank everyone who took the time to write one anyway :)
It's the 20th December today as I upload this… so that means…

8th Day of Christmas
Thump. Thump. Thump.
As graceful as a baby elephant. Ichigo was stood leaning against the office desk listening to the footsteps approaching the front door, it slid open and the noise was instant.
'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!'
Ichigo, Rangiku, Rukia, Renji, Captain Ukitake and Captain Kyōraku all shouted causing the smaller Captain to start in the door and blush furiously, party poppers were pulled and glitter was tossed as the now sparkly tiny Captain walked into the office with a furious blush on his face.
'Were you surprised Captain?' Rangiku asked as she leaned across towards him and he scowled at her.
'Yes of course I was, no one expects to be shouted at that early in the morning.'
'I do!'
'You never come in until the afternoon.'
'Captain you're so mean, that is my morning.'
Captain Ukitake was pushing all manners of sweets and chocolate onto him which just made the colour on his face go darker.
'Kurosaki you're not knocking on my door today,' Toshiro frowned at him.
'I told you I'd still be here, I'm not leaving.'
Captain Ukitake shared a look with Captain Kyōraku before smiling at the substitute.
'Ichigo how long are you blessing Captain Hitsugaya with your presence?' the long white haired Captain asked him.
'For as long as it takes for him to agree to go-'
'WHO WANTS CAKE!?' it had been so strange to hear Toshiro shout as Ichigo turned to him his face was a very obvious vivid red and he was glaring daggers at Ichigo who grinned back.
'Oh I'd love some Captain,' Rangiku called and Toshiro quickly cut the cake, while everyone was getting a slice he turned to Ichigo and hissed at him.
'Don't tell everyone Kurosaki I don't want them all knowing.'
'I'll not tell them if you go out with me.'
'Stop blackmailing me,' the small Captain scowled at him, folding his arms into the opposite sleeves of his haori.
'It's not blackmail it's a compromise,' Ichigo smiled at him and he narrowed his eyes at him. 'Please just give me a chance.'
Toshiro had opened his mouth to retort and at that moment Rangiku cut across their hushed conversation with her boisterous voice.
'Ichigo you did such a good job arranging this.'
'You?' Toshiro turned to the substitute with a shocked look, 'you arranged this?'
'Yes,' Ichigo puffed up his chest and smiled kindly at the smaller man, 'I figured you deserved a bit of fuss.'
'Oh, thank you,' Toshiro was very clearly embarrassed but was polite enough to not ignore the hard work that Ichigo had obviously put in decorating the office and inviting everyone, 'so you did leave?' he smirked back at the strawberry who frowned.
'Nope, I got Rangiku to help, I put up the decorations and arranged everything but she was the one who did everything outside the office including picking things up.' Toshiro glanced over at her and she winked back at him.
'We love you Captain, I told you that.'
He ducked his head in embarrassment, he didn't really want to think about who was included in that 'we.'
