They were sitting across from each other, talking about their lives. Momo was trying to restrain her tears, knowing that crying would only hurt her friend. Toshiro was trying to remain calm, trying to restrain himself from enveloping her body in his own. He wanted to touch her, to assure her that he would be there for her. He couldn't touch her, for fear of rejection.

"I feel so empty, Shiro-kun!" Momo said. The tears came then. She folded her arms across her chest and looked at the floor. Toshiro struggled to keep his own eyes from blurring. If he weren't strong, who would be? Who would help his love rise from her injuries?

"If only I could help you," Toshiro wished quietly. Hinamori threw herself into his arms. He found himself crying freely now. He embraced her tightly, and she leaned her head on his chest. He was cold to the touch, but Momo still found comfort in his slow steady heartbeat. She looked up into his pale face, and wanted nothing more than his lips to be against hers. She brought her face close to his. She was close enough to feel his cool breath tickle her lips. Their noses were touching now, and Toshiro felt hot and nervous. She kissed him gently, waiting for him to withdraw in shock. He didn't. After what seemed like an eternity they finally pulled back from each other.

"Shiro-kun, I want you so bad… I need to be with you," she said between shaky breaths.

"I have always loved you Momo. I will do whatever you want, if it makes you feel good," Toshiro said. Momo pulled back from his arms.

"I want you to do what makes you feel good," explained Momo, she leaned on his chest again. Toshiro couldn't even respond before Momo's fiery lips were pressed against his. She pushed him onto his back and she was lying on top of him. She rubbed her sweaty body against his, causing him to moan involuntarily. Momo had never seen Toshiro as a kid, only a man locked in a child's body. She felt her hands down his chest, over his rock hard abs, and towards his crotch area. She had expected more resistance from her by-the-rules friend, but she wouldn't complain. Her hand was reaching further down when Toshiro gently pushed her off of him.

"Hinamori, you are just a child. If you do something like that I will be unable to restrain myself," he warned her.

"I know, Shiro-kun. I want you inside me," she whined. He picked her up and put her on the bed. That night they both made love for the first time. The next morning Kira was walking past the tenth squad barracks. Wondering why there was a foot of snow coating he area surrounding the taichou's sleeping quarters, Kira poked his head inside. He saw Toshiro and Hinamori in the bed together. Matsumoto tapped him on the shoulder and put her finger up in a 'be quiet' motion. She then forcefully pulled him to her room and ripped his clothes off. He struggled against her prying hands.

"You promised that if the taichou sleeps with Hinamori, you'll sleep with me!" she reminded him. Hisagi walked in on Matsumoto trying to clamp her mouth on Kira's length.

"What the hell…" he said.

"You can join too!" Matsumoto shouted joyously. She puled him down on the floor and ripped off his clothes like she did Kira, but Hisagi didn't resist as much.

"MATSUMOTO! YOU PUT DRUGS IN MY FOOD!" Toshiro yelled from the other room
