[Those words were an invitation and Ukitake felt himself blush. He had toyed with the idea of taking the next step with Rinoa and now that she was here, in relatively good health, he couldn't help but want that step more and more.
But how did one go about asking for that? It was embarrassing for him to think about it. Ukitake tried to remember anything Kyouraku had told him over the centuries that sounded somewhat smart, but his mind blanked at that moment. Traitor.
So Ukitake pulled back and sat up, worrying his lower lip as he seriously considered this idea.]
