idea prompted from this ask // @desk-work-expert​

     Shūhei stood in the doorway of Eighth division- or what remained of Eighth division- bags slung over his shoulder.

Things in the aftermath of Aizen’s betrayal had been, for lack of a better term, a mess. Large areas of Soul Society had been demolished in battle, leaving Shinigami from different divisions temporarily displaced. The cleanup was moving slow, as focus was on tending to the wounded, and wrapping up any unease or confusion in the wake of the slaughter of Central 46. Most of the buildings had been made stable, but Ninth’s barracks were very much uninhabitable.

Arrangements had been made for Shinigami to bunk with each other for the duration of repairs. And with Shūhei currently acting as captain for his division, the ravenette had left himself until the very end to find room. Part of him had wanted to use the opportunity to stay with Izuru or Renji, but he figured the blond had an equally full plate to deal with and didn’t want to impose. And Renji was still recovering from his injuries.

Logic dictated that he find a responsible person to room with. Responsibility bred stability, and Shūhei was in some dire need of stability.  Yes logic, and the lucky fact he had just happened to be next to a mostly-in-tact Eighth division. He was familiar enough with Nanao to feel some resemblance of confidence in asking her for space on her couch, but the lieutenant still had clammy palms as he neared the barracks. They had had their fair share of run-ins over issues in the Shinigami Men’s and Women’s Associations, and Shūhei was no fool to Nanao’s arguably strict nature.

He wiped his hands on the back of his legs before knocking twice on the fellow lieutenant’s door, quickly deciding on the best way to ask. “Lieutenant Ise? It’s Hisagi.”

hoki-sa-reta:

“I could see that. Your Captain is quite frightening…..I almost feel bad for you since you’re almost in the same situation as Abarai with those glares and whatnot but I almost envy you as well. I don’t want to get close to Captain Otoribashi…….but enough of that for now….” He shook his head, settling the papers in his desk before rubbing the back of his head. 

“Sorry, I just…..shit yeah I know I shouldn’t be so apologetic….but I can’t help it sometimes” 

Looking up at Shūhei he couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the next statement, almost laughing under his breath before standing up and shaking his head. 

“We both know that no matter how many times you say that ‘limit’ it’ll be broken within the first thirty minutes we’re there” He couldn’t help but tease the other. Izuru knew better than to set limits, it seemed as though any time he did he ended up sicker than if he just let himself go. Perhaps his friend would have better luck with the limitations than he did. Who knew?

“I think you’re just a lightweight and you’re in denial. At least I embrace my inability to keep up but you challenge yourself each and every time before winding up face down on the floor somewhere…..good for you I’m such an amazing friend and dont draw all over your face~” 

With the final tease, he set the papers aside walking towards the door and gesturing Shūhei to go out first so he could lock the door behind them. “Lets go and relax, this week has been hell. Perhaps we can both end up face down somewhere tonight.”

“Kensei is nothing like Captain Kuchiki, how dare you. My captain knows how to praise people…in his own way.” Shūhei could understand Izuru’s hesitancy around getting close to Rose. Given the blond’s history with his previous captain, Shūhei couldn’t blame him.

“You are a walking conundrum when you’re with me, y'know? Apologizing and insulting me in the same breath. Honestly, it’s impressive.” His arms were crossed in front of his chest defensively, but the rest of his body language played off as if he were uninterested. “At least I try to be responsible and set limits. Anyone would be a lightweight when faced up against Rangiku. That woman cheats!”

There was some truth in Izuru’s accusation. A person tends to get more intoxicated on an empty stomach, and Shūhei often ended up drinking having eaten very little. He didn’t have any good excuse for this, so it wasn't something he planned on bringing up with the blond lieutenant. He knew it was an unhealthy behaviour.

"You know well enough if you draw on my face, the repercussions of it will not make the act worth it. That doesn't make you a good friend, just smart." He was grinning at Izuru, hoping his friend would catch his humour. He moved towards the door as Izuru moved to stand, and headed outside of the office so the blond could lock up. "Ending up face down somewhere isn't always a bad thing. I mean the floor is usually quite hard, but beds are soft. And couches."

Quite the Arrangement

—x for @cherryblossombankai

⊪     “I still cannot BELIEVE you and Renji got housed together! What are the freaking chances! Did you cheat and pay off admissions or something?“ He knew he was being rather loud for a public setting, yelling into his phone in one of the few commons rooms the campus had. The glances he was getting from the other students confirmed this, though it only served to lower his tone a fraction. “Rangiku managed to get housing with Gin, and Tetsu found some place off campus. I’m gunna be left with some random! If I end up with a creep that murders me in my sleep, I’m gonna haunt your ass!!”

      “–I am not being dramatic!” 

 Shūhei ended the call before he was ushered out, not wanting to face an altercation while already in a foul mood. He had been counting on living with his blond friend since the previous summer, when (admittedly) they had had a brief discussion about it. But Shūhei had found out much too late into his application that housing would not be left up to their choice. 

 Freshmen were required to house with sophomores, as part of the school’s initiative to help new students adjust to life on campus. Once all sophomore had been paired up with a freshmen, the remaining freshmen were paired off and roomed together in the same dorm/apartments. Shūhei had been hoping for the second option, imagining sharing a room or at least a floor with a few of his friends. The freshmen numbers this year had hit record numbers, and exceeded the number of sophomore by at least 25 heads.

 He headed down to the housing offices and waited in line behind the other excited freshmen. Shūhei hardly knew anyone from the sophomore year, other than a handful from the Sciences Department, Renji, Izuru, and Momo. Akon had already been roomed with a freshman, although Shūhei was almost glad for it. He had visited the biology major a few times while he had been a freshman, and he had seen enough 'specimens' to silently hope he didn't get housed with him. The line moved quite fluidly with each student walking away from the desk, paper in hand, faces mixed with emotion. Once he reached the front, Shūhei gave his name to the woman and waited. Maybe he might get lucky and he is roomed with a hot, older girl. 

     "Here you are, apartments A, room 106. Your sophomore should already be in the room." Taking the sheet and thanking her, Shūhei walked away from the desk before glancing down at the sheet. 

 There, in bold print, before his name: KUCHIKI, BYAKUYA. 

 It was a name Shūhei was well familiar with. Renji had spent much of his preteen years chasing after the younger of the two Kuchiki, Rukia. The family was one of those better than well-off, mansion in the hills type; at least, that was what Shūhei had pictured about them. Much of the information passed between class-men was gossip, and Rukia had only tolerated a few questions from him and Renji before snapping that they should mind their own business. Byakuya was her stoic, silent brother that had always seemed unimpressed by all other humans. Shūhei had not formed a great opinion of him from Renji's stories, and he found himself practically dragging his feet as he headed in the direction of his room. 

 Why was someone like that guy housing on campus? Didn't his family have enough money to put him up in an apartment in the city? Shūhei made sure to wipe his displeasure from his face before he reached the room, knocking twice. "Let's just start fresh, Shūhei. He doesn't know you, you don't really know him. Maybe this won't be so bad.."
