A/n- Ello, Ello, Ello! I am back yet again. I am kinda sad that not as many people reviewed the first add on to this but whatever. I am going to keep making them because I can, so there. And I actually have a plot for this one, or at least a theme: Snow! Yes snow, but why? Because I just had a blizzard in my area and I felt inspired by it to write. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

Hey, did you reviewers/readers notice that all my themes start with s? Sleep, sake, snow… just watch my next one with be about spring or something. XD

Disclaimer- not mine. But I can dream, can't I?

Dedicated to- my readers and reviewers of course. And to my rp buddy Kyouraku-taichou. I miss you, TAICHOU!!! … ps. If you haven't guess by now, I do rp as Nanao hence the reason I am so good at writing fics with her as the main heroine. XD YAY RP!!

On to the one shot…

In had snowed in Seireitei that day. It was a rare thing to behold, for it almost never snowed in the pure city of souls.

Nanao was in awe of the white cold fluff, never seeing it here in Seireitei for her 1000 years of service. The substance also miffed her. She had to walk to her office in this weather, her shimigami outfit obviously not designed for this type of climate.

After a few tries and several pairs of tabi socks, Nanao devised a way to get to her division's office without soaking her feet. She channeled her reiatsu to her feet, just enough to keep her feet from sinking into the coldness. She carefully made her way to her work.

Puffs of her breath made light wisps of clouds that blew away quickly with the wind. Her cheeks were stained a light pink, snowflakes clung to her eyelashes. Violet eyes gazed thoughtfully at the white landscape, appraising its beauty and the graceful movements of the flakes falling to the ground.

She paused for a moment, her face tilted upward, enjoying the cool kiss of the snow to her cheeks. Her eyes closed to lavish in the moment, but she missed the flash of pink to her side.

"Nanao-chan?"

Violet eyes flew open and were greeted by warm brown ones.

"Kyouraku-taichou, what are you doing out here?"

A paper umbrella was now over the both of them, making Kyouraku stand extremely close to her. The umbrella, of course, was pink.

"I came out to find my kawaii fukutai and here you are, enjoying the snow it seems."

A gentle smile graced his lips, his hand landing softly on her shoulder.

"You really shouldn't walk around in the snow without a coat, Nanao-chan. You will catch a cold out here."

The fukutaichou looked downward, away from his handsome face. Her right hand clenched around her tome self-consciously.

"I know, Taichou, but I do not have a coat. Besides I like the cold, it helps keep my head clear."

Shunsui shook his head at the woman. She obviously did not get his point, did she?

Nanao was slightly stunned when the warmth of his pink flowery overcoat found itself around her narrow shoulders. Her head turned to see her taichou but he was gone, probably to the office to nap. A smile rose to her lips as she continued to the office.

She entered the office a few minutes later, the vibrant coat thrown over her free arm, her other holding to her book.

"Taichou, I am here now."

A sneeze answered her call. With a look of worry in her eyes, she rested the coat on the back of her chair and made her way to the source of the sneeze.

"Taichou!"

His straw hat was gone, his head resting on a pillow on the office couch. He gazed sleepily at Nanao, his eyes glassy with the fever.

"What did you do?"

"I came back right after I gave you my coat. Did you stay warm, Nanao-chan?"

His voice came out a bit hoarse and lower then usual. Nanao knelt by his side, her cool hand resting on his forehead, confirming her suspicions.

"Taichou, You have a cold now because you did not stay warm and take care of yourself."

"Ah, but I did take care of you. Now you can repay me and take care of me, ne?"

Kyouraku gave a weaker version of his coy smile and Nanao resisted the urge to smack his shoulder just for the sheer fact he was ill.

"Taichou, stay still and let me get you some medicine. I will be right back, all right?"

He nodded, his eyes closing as if to rest. She patted his hand lightly and hurried off to the 4th division.

She arrived there and merely stated to one of the lower ranked officers what was going on. She wanted to get back to him quickly, and with the thought of it she blushed fiercely. The officer inquired if she was ill as well, and she shook the man off, shun'pyo-ing back to the office.

Nanao walked lightly to his side, not to wake him if he was already asleep. She had used one of his sake cups and poured water into it so he could take his pill.

"Shunsui."

She spoken his name gently, the word foreign to her tongue. He rolled over in his sleep but did not completely awaken.

"Taichou."

Nanao spoken with a bit more force. Balancing on one foot, the fukutai shook the cushion to the couch, hoping to rouse him, and yet nothing. She did the one thing that would wake her taichou up and quite quickly too. Nanao bent at her waist, her lips finding his cheek. She graced the skin with a soft kiss before talking quietly in his ear.

"Shunsui, please wake up."

Brown eyes opened up, gazing lovely at the woman.

"Nanao-chan, what a wonderful way to wake up. I may need to fall asleep more often."

Her eyes rolled in return to the comment, as she came back to a standing position waiting for him to sit up.

" I got you the medicine. Here."

She placed the pill in the palm of his hand, her fingertips tickling the sensitive skin. The man couldn't help but smile greatly at the barely lingering caress.

"Hai, Nanao-chan."

He popped the pill in, his head going back with the motion. She then handed him the cup of water and let him drink the contents before taking the cup from his hands and placing it on the end table.

"There, now you should be better by tomorrow, so please rest while I take care of the work."

She spun on her heel; ready to get started when his hand caught hers.

"Nanao…can you stay with me? Just this once, let me hold you in my arms so I may sleep."

The fukutai's face burned red at his words.

"…Very well, Taichou, but only today, because you are ill and I wish you to get better."

With the confirmation, Kyouraku used her captured hand to tug her to the couch, his other arm catching her and hugging her to his body. He then fell over with her in his arms, giving a heavy rumble of laughter. The bass of his laugh vibrated through Nanao and her blush just intensified.

"Nanao-chan, thank you."

Shunsui kissed the top of her head, smiling as he did so.

"You are welcome, Taichou. Now go to sleep."

"Hai, Hai, Nanao-chan."

As he fell asleep, Nanao gazed out the window at the falling snow. Soon she too was lulled to sleep by his steady breathing and the soft white flakes gliding to the ground.

I know, it is kinda shorter then usual but I needed to get this one out. I have to go do laundry in this blizzard, which sucks since I have to hike my ass to the laundry mat to do so. Wish me luck and try not to flame this chappie. Thanks mucho.
