Cough 055 - [Video]

[A figure of white is seen laying down on his stomach next to a pond. The haori is clearly seen, though what number on the back is hard to make out, but the white hair is a dead giveaway. However, Ukitake's hair is fluffier than normal, and there is a pair of white, round ears peeking out from his hair on top of his head. The tip of his nose is black in contrast, though, as he looks almost longingly into the water at his new reflection.]

...I know I shouldn't, but I really have this urge to go swimming.

[He dips one of his hands (still human, mind you) into the water and splashes some away from him, looking up to follow the ripples the action creates. Ukitake smiles at the sight.]

Still a little cold. Spring should be here soon, though.

Ah...

_{[The filter seems to smack some sense back into him and the smile is back on his face in the blink of an eye.]}

Nothing, nothing~!

[Ukitake bows his head.]

I was married to you. I can tell when you're lying.

_{[There's a second or so of silence before Urahara's cheerful (too cheerful?) voice breaks it.]}

Maa... You needn't bring that up if you don't wish to Ukitake-san~!

[...What...happened?]

No, it...doesn't bother me anymore.

_{[What happened is that your ex-hubby read too much into shrugs and ripples, polartakebear. And now believes that he's been bothering him too much.

Except, you know, for that comment.]}

...Doesn't it?

I've had time to absorb all that information, a lot of the memories.

[He looks off to the side, trying to find the words to explain himself.]

Everything changed so quickly, but I was...happy.

Oh.

_{[And slowly, that... slight heaviness lifts, to be replaced by cautious curiosity and hope. Along with a twitch of an furry black ear under the hat.]}

Happy... Because of me? Or simply because it was a significant other?

...Everything. I had a family of my own, and with someone who showed them all as much love as I did, who saw past all my failings and...loved me, too.

[Because he's still sure Rinoa never did. But...

Rinoa...was in the past.

Ukitake looks back to the screen.]

I'll be honest. I don't know exactly how I feel about you, but...I cannot deny a peculiar interest when it comes to you.

_{[Despite all the times that Urahara has bluntly pointed out emotions to others, this is perhaps one of the few times that someone has been so emotionally truthful with him about him. It's... Well, his silly little grin after a few moments of blinking probably says it all.]}

A peculiar interest sounds promising~♥!

[Now that smile Ukitake believes.]

Yes.

So... [A smirk.] Do you want me on your back, Jyuushirou-san~?

_{[Yeah, you thought that you'd escaped that, didn't you?]}

[...OH YOU. Ukitake lets out a quick breath and reaches up to rub one of his ears, glad no one else is around.]

You've already been there, Kisuke-san.

_{[There's a wide grin at that.]}

Then do you want me there, again~?

[Urahara gets a small smile. But no answer.]

_{[You, dear man, are a tease.]}

Does this sudden desire to go swimming effect your love of tea?

[He learns from some of the best.]

You speak as if anything ever could.

Shall I bring some over then~?

If you'd like.

I would.

Be my guest, Kisuke-san.

_{[There's no reply besides another smile, but soon Urahara's in front of Ukitake's house, teapot and cups in hand as he joins the older man next to the pond.]}

Hello, Jyuushirou-san~♥

[Ukitake is not surprised when Urahara shows up out of nowhere, having felt his presence before he appears. The older Shinigami nods his head in greeting.]

Kisuke-san.

_{[Humming quietly, he pours them each a cup of tea, pushing Ukitake's over to him and holding his own between his hands as he just sits and watches the polartakebear.]}

[Ukitake thanks him for his cup and sips it, trying to keep from burning his tongue at first. He can feel Urahara's eyes on him, but after his confession of sorts, he can't blame the other man.]

_{[Urahara doesn't move for the longest time, unusual for the usually energetic man. He seems quite content to simply take the other man in, eyes drifting along his face and hair, a small smile curving his lips up. Course that smile soon turns into a grin before he leans in and pets one of those cute little ears.]}
