[fearnotdeceit]

What part of "this is a bad idea" did you not understand?

Don't be a stick in the mud, Toushirou! Get out there, meet people, live a little! It'll do you some good.

[fearnotdeceit]

Please. She's sending me to what amounts to hell.

[shibam]

Anywhere can be heaven or hell, it's all in your state of mind. You need to broaden your horizons and look on the bright side!

...Like, no expectations of paperwork being done on time!

[fearnotdeceit]

I've never had a problem with the paperwork. I don't know why you couldn't ever get it done.

[shibam]

Perks of being a captain, my boy. I paid my dues getting up there, so I got to give duties to my underlings. Don't think I don't see you in a haori there, you get to give those duties to your own underlings, now! I'm so proud of you!

[fearnotdeceit]

[... Oh please shut up. Please? Proud of him? He... he never liked you, go away.]

[Dryly:] Matsumoto-fukutaichou has not changed. [aka shoving duties off on underlings? Yeah, so not happening.]

[shibam]

[Don't be a tsundere, squirt. It isn't cute when boys do it.]

My Matsumoto! Are her breasts still amazing? [...Because clearly, Hitsugaya cares about her chest as much as he does.]

omg dw what happend to my lineface icon?

[fearnotdeceit]

[He really just wants to say "well, they're still capable of suffocating captains of a smaller stature" but...

... yeah, no.]

Ask her.

DW is jerks, that's what

[shibam]

You mean, she's here?

[Look at his bright face, Hitsugaya. Look at it. Oh, how he misses his lovely, lovely Matsumoto-chan.]

/sob

[fearnotdeceit]

Do you see her?

[shibam]

[Yes, he actually looks around.]

...

[That's mean, Hitsugaya.]

[fearnotdeceit]

[Did you expect anything else from him? Of course it's mean; it's Hitsugaya.

Not saying a word. Just waiting for the inevitable.]

[shibam]

[Too frosty, kid. Way too frosty. Anyway, he doesn't take too long.]

I don't see her! Is she hiding from us or something? ...That's my girl, leave the work to the men!

[fearnotdeceit]

[A put-upon sigh. You're pathetic, you know that?]

She's not here.

[shibam]

[That's no way to treat your captain, Toushirou-kun. ...Former captain, whatever.]

Wait, don't tell me you led me on.

[Wait for it.]

I don't believe it.

[Wait for it!]

You do have a sense of humor!

[Thank you, and good night.]

[fearnotdeceit]

I have never said that I didn't. [Everyone else does, but he never has either tried to confirm or deny having a sense of humor.

At any rate...] You led yourself on.

[shibam]

Never believe a man can tell a joke until you hear him tell it! [That's a Shiba clan traditional saying, starting right now. Nevermind that he didn't really say a joke, it's the thought that matters.]

You're the one that brought her up. [And now, sulking.] And besides, where one of you is, the other usually ain't far behind.

[fearnotdeceit]

I didn't tell a joke.

[And then he's silent for a moment. When he speaks, it's deceptively nonchalant.] That's usually the case.

[shibam]

But you took a baby step toward doing it!

[It was funny making him think Matsumoto was around, even Isshin can agree with that.]

She's probably just hanging back so we can have some male bonding time. Very thoughtful of her.

[fearnotdeceit]

[He shakes his head once, because, really. He could tell a joke if he wanted to.]

No, if she was here, she would be in the middle of this.

[shibam]

[Good, Toushirou. Believe in you who believes in you, in your ability to tell a joke.]

Really? You think? [This requires manly thought...] Maybe so. Hey! Matsumoto! If you're here, come on out!

[One more try to find her can't hurt!]

[fuyunomai]

At least it's better than the alternative?

[Having to do all of Matsumoto-fukutaichou's paperwork?]

video;

[fearnotdeceit]

[He actually considers that for a short moment.]

There is that. [Then again, he can usually glower at her until she does something useful.] There's too much to do at home.

[Never mind the mun is sending him places without Hyourinmaru. That's just cruel.]

[fuyunomai]

Mm. Exactly! Rebuilding... and things like that.

[Nii-samaaa ;u; NOPE NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT PROBABILITY. They're healing, aren't they?]

Maybe she might actually do her paperwork for once?

[Being weak and powerless isn't so bad!! Unless you're sleeping in a closet then that just sucks.]

video;

[fearnotdeceit]

Hmm. Things like that.

[Rebuilding. Getting stronger. Counting the dead. Yeah, things like that.]

She may insist that all paperwork was destroyed. [Entirely possible, come to think of it.]

[The mun will have to stick him in a closet somehow at least for one night, just for that. An homage to Rukia.]
