Kaien and Ukitake
Rest
Jyuushiro tried to pull himself to a sitting position but ended up coughing instead, a racking, harsh cough that came up through his whole body and made him tremble with a weakness he despised. He fell back against the bed and hated his body for how far it could deteriorate without killing him with dignity.
He glanced sideways at Kaien, a little embarrassed.
His young, strong lieutenant rested a hand on his captain's head and smiled.
"Rest, captain. You're allowed to. That's why I'm here, isn't it?"
