Cough 021 - [Video Post]

[The feed opens with the sight of Ukitake coughing into his free hand. Luckily, no blood can be spottted. Yet.]

Ungh...my apologies. Even with the weather clearing up, it seems that it has finally caught up with me. [Cough.] It's what I get for traipsing about in the snow.

[He tucks himself into bed, propped up on pillows again. This is a normal pose for the Shinigami, as friends have and will come to know. Sniffling, he speaks again.]

I should be back to myself within a week or tw--

[There must have been a tickle in his throat because he's coughing violently now, red visible through the cracks of his fingers before the feed ends.]

[Okay, that felt really nice. He laid his head against his pillows, eyes falling shut, and tried to breathe steadily.]

[There's only a small smile from her part, before she takes back her hand and rests it over her lap, maybe this was a bad time for a visit since he did needed to rest.]

[When she pulled her hand away, Ukitake slowly opened his eyes.]

What's wrong?

[She tilts her head a bit and smiles softly at him.]

You need to rest, I didn't wanted to bother you.

You're not a bother.

[He returns the smile.]

Besides, you're here now, so sleep can wait a little longer.

[Pouts just a bit.]

Now I feel bad for taking away your rest, you clearly need it.

Don't blame yourself again. I like having you here, anyway.

Y-

[Coug, cough, again.]

...You make me smile.

Well, you need you're rest, Ukitake.

[Lightly bits her lower lip.]

I do?

[He reaches out for her hand with the one he hasn't really coughed into and threads their fingers together.]

Have you already forgotten? I like you.

[She blushes just a bit and looks down at their hands, trying to calm down the sudden quick rate of her heart.]

How could I forget about that?

Good. I was worried for a second.

Yeah, I'm sure you remember that I like you too.

[He just looks at her for a few seconds, taking in the sight of her.]

I do.

[There's a small flush on her cheeks when she feels him looking at her.]

Good, don't forget that no matter what, I will still like you.

...I'm glad to hear it.

...Are you tired?

Only a little.

[Slowly nods.]

I should have come later.

[He gives her hand another gentle squeeze.]

Don't worry about it, Rinoa-chan.

Of course I worry, how could I not?

Well...don't worry too much, then.

[She smiles just a bit and shakes her head.]

Hmph, easy for you to say.

Why is that?

Well you're not in this side, Ukitake.

[She takes a deep breath and looks down at her lap.]

I can't help but worry and I just feel a bit...useless for not being able to help you.

...I'll be all right. Just give me a few days.

And after I get better we can...

[What could they do? Have tea? That seems to be his fallback option. But Rinoa is different...right?]

We can do whatever you'd like.
