Aizen lay face up,one knee up and two of his hands behind his head as he dully stared up at the white ceiling in the dark room that was only lit up by the giant,full moon showing through the open window on the far side of the room. He couldn't sleep. He was bored. And it was cold. The rogue taicho sighed,he shifted and sat up before deciding to go for a cup of hot, steaming tea-maybe it'd help him go to sleep. Feet clad in white socks, Aizen didn't bother putting some shoes on as he walked out of his gigantic bedroom down the corridor in search of the kitchen, pausing slightly when he found that it was occupied. Aizen leaned on the door without making a sound, watching in amusement as Byakuya went up and down in the kitchen,flour all over his face and clothes,it was kinda cute and Aizen practically found himself smiling softly. That scared him,it really did. Who was Kuchiki Byakuya to actually make him smile like a fool? Frowning, Aizen folded his arms as he reiatsu flared slightly making Byakuya drop a bowl full of eggs, gasping as his eyes found Aizen only registering his presence now. Aizen didn't move from the door, raising an eyebrow when Byakuya stared down at the scattered contents mixing with the shattered glass from the bowl as if he'd lost something precious, Aizen wasn't even sure if that was a groan he heard from the man.

Byakuya: Now see what you have caused.

Aizen:(grinning) Are-are you pouting?

Byakuya: I do not pout.

Aizen: You most definitely are pouting now.

Byakuya frowned and glared at the man before looking back down trying to hide a blooming,soft pink blush. Aizen wasn't going to let that slide,he was bored and this was kinda fun.

Byakuya: People are going to start thinking that you have lost your mind,you are seeing impossible things.

Aizen:(laughs) Cute.

Both men paused in awkward silence after before choosing to ignore it completely as Aizen walked into the room to taking a broom and a mop.

Aizen: It's the middle of the night you know? Abarai not doing his job well?

Byakuya shook his head, stepping aside as Aizen began cleaning the mess up.

Byakuya: Renji is doing fine.

Aizen: What is it then?

Byakuya: I have not been sleeping well these days.

Aizen: Personal problems?

Byakuya: Perhaps.

Aizen stood up and checked if anything was cleaned up before he hummed and got rid of the dirt, taking another bowl he gave it to Byakuya.

Aizen: How many eggs were you using?

Byakuya:(dumbfounded) What?

Aizen: Eggs.

He said pointing to the bowl at Byakuya's confused expression.

Aizen: You were baking weren't you?

Byakuya:(blushing) Oh,um six.

Aizen: Hn.

Aizen said and returned with six eggs, handing them to Byakuya he walked over to the cabinet and took out a tea set and began boiling water before turning to stare at Byakuya who was breaking the eggs all over again.

Aizen: Baking at this time? Are you making an offering?

Byakuya: Yes.

Aizen: For the king?

There was something in the way Aizen spat that question out,it made Byakuya turn and face the man.

Byakuya: No,I am not making an offering for the king. It is for my father,he loved cookies.

Byakuya watched carefully as Aizen stared at him,honey warm eyes travelling down his face in search for something Byakuya couldn't identify before he turned the kettle off and started filling the tea pot.

Aizen: Hn. That's good.

Byakuya:(confused) What do you mean?

Aizen: It's good that you think of your father. I'm sure he's happy wherever he is.

Byakuya frowned, registering a hint of sadness in the other's voice. Choosing to mind his own business,Byakuya went back to his baking. It went quiet for a long time until a cup of tea was settled before him and then he was dragged into a chair.

Aizen: You look drained. Rest a bit, I'll take care of that.

Byakuya: Wh-

Byakuya didn't get to object before Aizen was already mixing up the contents, within a few hours everything was done and ready as Aizen settled a plate of cookies before him.

Aizen: Go on.

Byakuya: Uh,thank you.

Aizen: You're welcome.

Byakuya stared at those warm, brown eyes in shock before gulping. Nodding he stood up and walked over to his father's shrine in the other side of the mansion...
