Cough 061 - [Video]

[haori]

[Ukitake is outside of his house, hair wet and water dripping off the clumped-together edges.  He looks tired, but...

...it's not raining on him.]

I've put up some barriers around the house.  If the weather doesn't get too horrible, they should hold and we should be dry.

[He looks off to the side and then points his PCD to the fish pond.  Which is getting rather soggy around the edges.]

My concern is if this floods.  Water travels underground and I could extend the kidou through the ground, but even I am unsure how deep it needs to go.  In the event that the water gets out of hand, we'll....need to drain the pond.

[And it sucks because he loves that pond, loves the fish inside, but if the house is in danger, then he will have to make sacrifices.  Dammit.]

Just keep an eye on things and try to stay safe. And dry-

[And he is interrupted by a cough, though it's not as horrible as it can be.

But.  The potential for worsening is always there.]

[Oof! He patiently helps Urahara get untangled.]

You're hopeless.

[But there's a hint of a smile in his voice.]

_{[A. Grin.]}

Without you~

[haori]

Clearly.

[He nuzzles the back of Urahara's neck when he gets the chance.]

<sub>[Mmm... He likes that.

Yukata (conveniently) forgotten!]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[What a downfall.

And then he turns away to cough a little bit. Puh.]

<sub>[Oh dear...

Settling into bed before leaning over Ukitake's lap and fishing around. Search search sear-- Aha!

It's an orange!]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[Yeah, still juuuust on the verge of hacking over here, but when he finally gets it under control and sees that orange-

...Oh for the love of. Not this again.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[Have an innocent grin as he starts pealing the orange, Ukitake~]}

[Offline]

[haori]

You do this again, and I will throw you out.

[But there's not much conviction behind his words. He's really starting to feel crummy.]

[mere_shopkeeper]

<sub>[First orange slice!


Goes into Urahara's mouth.]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[...Well that's fine. That isn't condescending behavior.

Ukitake is just going to burrow away a little further in his covers and pillows.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[Ah, but see, there's a second slice now. And it's waiting to be eaten~]}

[Offline]

[haori]

[Ukitake sees this.

And slowly holds out a hand for it.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

<sub>[Into the hand it goes~!

For now.]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[Keep this up, you're doing well.

And Ukitake may or may not be snuggling a little closer as he eats the orange slice.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

<sub>[The snuggling? That gets a pleased hum.

Have another orange slice.]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[...Nibble nibble.]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[And here he thought Unohana was the bunny.]}

[Offline]

[haori]

[Hush, it tastes nummy this way.]

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

<sub>[Really~? Let him have a taste then!

Moving that hand away and leaning in to bite off about half of that orange slice. And brushing his lips against Ukitake's.]</sub>

[Offline]

[haori]

[...But...but he's sick! You know, with the coughing, and the...the dying! And the sniffles, can't forget the sniffles!

...Ah, screw it, he can't deny that felt nice, you tease.]

K-Kisuke-san...

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[You'd miss the teasing and you know it~]}

Yes, Jyuushirou-san~?

[Offline]

[haori]

[...Yes.]

I'm contagious.

[Offline]

[mere_shopkeeper]

_{[Another brush of the lips.]}

Your point being...?
