Recovery

Chapter 6 – feelings

"I got to go now, Hinamori. Paper work." Said Hitsugaya, leaving sooner that he would have.

"Eeeeh?! So soon? I thought it was Rangiku's turn for the paper work..." Hinamori thought for a while, remembering Rangiku complaining on how much paperwork she had to do and how she had to do everything. (Even though it was an obvious lie)

"Hinamori. In the tenth division, it is always me who does the paper work. Matsumoto is all talk." Sighed Hitsugaya. Yet he knew that if one day Matsumoto did volunteer to do the paperwork, he would be so scared of the sudden change of personality that he would volunteer to do the paper work instead. There was no way to win.

"Ok then. See you tomorrow again!" Hinamori waved goodbye, smiling sweetly.

"Bye." He gave a wave before swiftly walking out of the door.

Finally, as he walked away, he could breathe again.

He lied.

There was no paperwork, for him that was. He made sure his vice captain was properly locked in a barrier with all the paper work that she had left overdue.

It was that he felt so strange while visiting Hinamori and felt like he needed fresh air. The weird symptoms that were there before were starting to go. His heart started to slow down unlike before, where his heart beat faster than normal. His chest no longer clenched and-

Oh no.

Oh no no no.

He knew these symptoms. It had happened before.

A different girl though. However it lasted very short. He remembered a very pretty girl in the 1st district who he rather liked. This ended abruptly, when she sneered at him at first sight when he tried to talk to her. Apparently his strange white hair and cold nature repelled everyone who looked at him.

Yet he would never forget what it was like, the fast beating of his heart, the clenching of the chest and the way he felt when that girl smiled.

Yet this was Hinamori he was talking about. His childhood friend, his first ever friend might. He had never thought of her in the romantic light.

Maybe he was over thinking it. He ate a rather suspicious salmon roll for lunch now thinking back.

But no. It just wasn't.

Maybe he liked her since a long time ago but just realised it now.

Yet these feelings would cause nothing but trouble. Not only was Hinamori his childhood friend, she was also still slightly infatuated with Aizen.

Even if it was mostly gone, there would always be a part of her that would remember the fifth captain.

He could ignore them. Just push them to the back of his head and maybe the feelings would slowly go away.

Yet he couldn't.

This wasn't the brown haired girl from the 1st district, it was someone much more important to him, someone who accepted him from the very beginning and stuck with him since then.

Maybe he should just go along with it. See how it went.

It would be very risky, but he would just have to try.

So just to confirm to himself he said it to himself,

"I have feelings for Hinamori Momo."
