They stood there and stared over the wide plain of Hueco Mundo.
"I hate this desert." Hitsugaya crossed the arms over his chest and shuddered. "It's unnaturally cold."
"You say that?" Ukitatke was surprised.
"Yes. Normal cold... it's like a crystal. There is much light in it, you can see through it... everything becomes clearer. But this cold darkness down here dulls your senses."
Silence followed his words. They both hated this place, hated this war. Hated the daily growing losses their divisions had to suffer.
And neither could forget about them for a few hours by drinking or other adult activities. They just couldn't.
Concerning the first, the older knew that it would worsen his already bad health, and Hitsugaya just disliked alcohol. About the second...
Hinamori had been catatonic ever since Aizen had left, and during the short moments she was awake the girl seemed to live in a dream where Aizen was still nice and would come every moment to pick her up.
Kaien had never showed any interest in men, at least none his captain could figure, and then he had married... About Kira he hadn't been sure, but then, the newly appointed captain became engaged with Kiyone's elder sister. And the very man that stood next to him at the moment... First, he was too young, or at least, his looks were. And second... There was still Hinamori-kun.
After some minutes, Ukitake realized that Hitugaya no longer stared at the endless sand before them but had directed his gaze at him.
"Uhm... yes?" He felt a light blush creep over his cheeks. He hadn't been thinking aloud, had he?"
"Matsumoto said something, but..." If Ukitake hadn't tried to avoid the boy genius' stare, he would have realized that an equal shade of red heated the other's face. "... could it be that you have a crush on me?"
The older's head spun around and set his hair flying wildly. but he couldn't produce a word, so he just stared.
"Do you?"
Large, bright turquoises met deep brown orbs.
And slowly, slowly, Ukitake nodded. "Yes... but don't worry, I-"
"Worry?" Hitsugaya's voice was harsh, but his eyes were unusually soft. Well, his face was unusually red as well. "Why?"
"It's too early! And at this time..."
"You wait?"
"I'm good at waiting." He managed to produce a tiny smile despite his words. He hated waiting. Because he knew, he always knew, that it was futile.
"And you think that'll work?"
Ukitake shook his head. "No. After all, there is someone you are waiting for, don't you?"
He was surprised when the younger repeated his move.
"But... Hinamori-kun...?"
"She won't come back to us." His voice was nearly not there. "There is no use in waiting for her anymore. And..." He looked upwards.
"Yes?"
He felt a small hand slip into his.
"You really should stop waiting, too. Because, what use is waiting until the perfect moment is there, if you wait too long?"
Ukitake closed his fingers around Hitsugayas hand that warmed him so much against the cold of this place's eternal darkness, however small the actual amount of warmth might be.
Maybe, this was the right moment to stop waiting and start something else.
Despite everything. |
