#2 Kisses Sneaky, Kisses Stolen
Ayasegawa Yumichika, 5th Seat in the 11th Division, and currently sneaking around the only restaurant open, considering this night would be the first of the new year. Also, it was on the very edge of the Sereitei, and it was more likely than not he wouldn't be seen there, which was something part of him wanted. Why was he going to such lengths to not be seen?
Well, most likely the reason was the woman Yumichika was staring at, who had ordered two bowls of noodles. Her hair was somewhat messy, lavender in color, ribbons of the same color all tied inside, and eyes a reddish color.
Looking himself over and straightening his orange collar, Yumichika decided his clothes were perfect, as was he, and walked into the restaurant, casually yet gracefully, his clothes swishing in the light breeze coming in from the outside as he did so. He sat down across from the beautiful woman, who looked up and smiled.
Kotetsu Isane, Vice Captain of the 4th Division, smiled at Ayasegawa Yumichika, 4th seat of the 11th Division. Well, it was fairly obvious why they were hiding out in this place. The 4th and 11th never exactly "got along," but they had met in public then. No, it was when Unohana Retsu, the 4th's Captain, had somehow beaten Zaraki Kenpachi, the 11th's Captain. Things between the two Divisions had gotten steadily worse since then.
Now, as for the odd couple of Isane and Yumichika, well, it could all be explained if one looked back to the New Years ceremony four years prior to the current meeting of the two. It had been a chilly night, and Yumichika was telling Ikkaku that the Vice Captain of the 12th was not Ikkaku's type, when Isane had taken her place next to Captain Unohana in a beautiful kimono, and smiled brightly, said something to her captain, and walked off.
Someone must have decided to play a practical joke on the universe just then, because suddenly, without any definite reason, Yumichika instinctively followed Isane off the platform, to the small shack she was heading to, planning to get some sweet buns for herself and her Captain. However, Yumichika had spun her around and promptly kissed her, before asking her on a date. Flustered, she politely refused and walked off.
Well, for the first year, Isane's life had gone downhill, whereas Yumichika's had found a purpose. Yumichika was determined to do two things. The first and most obvious, get a date with Isane. The second purpose, though, was to have Isane kiss him back by the end of the year.
Of course, this had been unsuccessful, only barely getting a date for after the New Years celebration. But then again, Yumichika hadn't had much free time, he was trying to help out Ikkaku, who was being restrained by a restraining order from seeing Nemu. Apparently, the 12th's scary robot captain of evil experiments of evil doom (quoting a sugar high Yahciru) had found out about Ikkaku's weekly visits to peep on his "daughter's" bath time. No one really asked Nemu, because the fact was she didn't mind.
But anyway, because of that mess, Yumichika had barely managed to get Isane to say yes. But she had said yes, so Yumichika decided he'd get her to kiss him back by the end of the next year. After all, these things shouldn't be rushed, no sir.
After the first date, which had gone exceptionally spectacularly, if Yumichika did say so himself, he had been surprised when Isane asked him to lunch for the very next day. Yumichika agreed, somewhat stupefied that he needn't use his perfect, beautifully written, sad puppy speech, in order to get another date. He had wasted three days writing that!
At lunch, it had been relatively normal. No romance, but no formalities either. Just two shinigami sitting under a tree eating various fruits brought by Isane. And then Yumichika had seen the different fruit juices on the woman's face and kissed her, pulling away quickly smiling and taking a bite out of some pineapple.
She had stared at him, somewhat in shock and somewhat… Well, Yumichika still didn't entirely understand women, even if one of his old hobbies had been to watch them all and rate their beauty in comparison to himself. A bit off topic, but Isane was at the top of the list, second only to himself.
And then, she leaned over and began whispering a joke to him. And the second he turned to stare at her, due to the oddity of the joke, she had kissed him. Of course, he kissed back and things had gone up from there. WAY up, and Yumichika was extremely happy about that. However, there was one minor problem, he realized, when he arrive back at the 11th Division dojo to spar with Ikkaku.
She technically hadn't kissed him back. He kissed her back, and that just wouldn't do, not at all…So of course, Yumichika left a confused Ikkaku and gone straight to Isane's office. Thankfully, she hadn't had any patients, or what Yumichika did next would have been very embarrassing, and probably lost him the relationship to come.
He practically kicked the door down, walked in and over to her, and for a moment, stared at her. She had dropped the pen she had been using to fill out paperwork and was staring at him. Then he kissed her and she kissed back. But then, something good happened, something that wasn't exactly according to plan though.
She started taking off his shirt, and things went WAY up from there.
Now, as the couple sat in the restaurant, their feet being quite active under the table and the owner cursing at some children who had broken into his garden in the background, the ceremony began and Yumichika leaned in and kissed her.
