3rd Transmutation-Valentine's Day Event-Hugs and Cuddles

[What's this? A box of candy? He picked it up and brought it inside, studying it carefully. Who left this? Fletcher glanced at the various treats inside curiously, the heart shaped ones appeared to have something different printed on each of them. Unfortunately, he'd eaten some before setting them down on the table and going out for a walk in the fresh air.]

...Saying weird things aside... It's probably right that we shouldn't talk about this anymore. It's not going to help anything. I shouldn't be putting all that on you anyway.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He lunges forward and wraps his arms around the woman's waist and buries his face, making his words sound muffled but someone understandable.]

No...you shouldn't suffer through something like this by yourself!

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Oh god that was a little too much like Ganju for her. You are being way too much like her little brother, and she is trying not to lose it. She wraps her arm around him and hugs him tightly.]

I'm sorry...

[She doesn't know what else to say. She feels bad about putting this all on him, but he is right. She was always taught not to go it alone.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He knew that, as someone who had a sibling of his own, just how much Kukaku probably needed her brothers right now, but seeing as she couldn't, he wanted to do all he could to keep her somewhat happy. And standing by doing nothing, was something he would not do.

When he steps back, he looks up and smiles.]

CUTIE PIE! [well, the quiet was nice while it lasted~

Flustered, he tried to think of something to say to make it sound less awkward.]

Ah! No..! I-I mean...you do look nice but um...ah...I don't--

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[Kukaku looks down at him, then pulls him back into a hug and starts laughing. That completely broke the tension and seriousness of the conversation and really that was exactly what she needed.]

Thanks...

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[She was thanking him?? Well, at least she was in a good mood! Just go along with it~]

O-oh...uh...y-your welcome. [He looks up at her sheepishly] Are you okay?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yeah... I'm okay.

[She grins and shrugs.]

I'm a Shiba. We don't stay down long.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He giggled.]

Its good to hear that. HEY BABE!

[...Ack!]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[That gets another laugh out of her, because as many times as she HAS heard that, it still sounds really weird coming from him.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Don't laugh, he totally is gonna die over that! Bad Fletcher! Why are you saying such things to your big sister?!]

Ah! I'm s-sorry, I didn't mean to say that!

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

[She shakes her head and musses his hair.]

It's okay... That's at least one I've heard before.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

You have?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Yeah.. Not since Yoruichi and Kisuke took off. Kisuke would call the three of us "babe" and then Soi Fon would punch him for it and Yoruichi and I would laugh and he'd whine about us being cruel even though he knew it's what would happen.

It was just sort of the way our game was played.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He fidgeted with his fingers nervously]

Oh. I-I think its better for him to be the one saying something like that.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Heh.. It does sound pretty weird coming from you... But he just did it to be a pain in the ass. Being as annoying as possible was a hobby of his.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Um, Kukaku? I...don't annoy you, do I? [He hoped not, though he realized his oversensitivity to things sometimes did irritate others.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

...Oh, honey, no.. No. I didn't mean to make you think that.

Kisuke was annoying intentionally. It's just part of who he was. He knew when to be serious, and it's part of why Yoruichi and I loved him so much. Soi Fon hated him, but she put up with him for Yoruichi.

You're a good kid. I don't think you could annoy anyone.

I've actually seen one that says that, how weird~

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

You were all very close friends, so it was for teasing, right?

--JUMP FOR ME!

Lol that is a really bizarre one.

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Pretty much, it's just the way we wee. We didn't act serious with each other. We had so many responsibilities elsewhere that with each other it was best to just let it all go and act how we wanted.

Of course Soi Fon was always uptight and hated Kisuke and me, but she still pretty fun sometimes.

[Laughs a bit.]

I'm not much of a jumper, kiddo. Too top-heavy.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

She sounds like she was a bit stubborn like your you and your brothers? [Not that it was a bad thing, he knew all too well about stubborness. He pretty much got used to it, even if he didn't always approve of it.]

Oh--n-no, you don't have to jump, I...um...

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Soi Fon is stubborn on a whole separate level. She has a lot of jealousy issues when it comes to Yoruichi, and me and Kisuke always bore the brunt of it. When the two of them ran off, I was the one that she decided to take it out on. The little pain in the ass...

Heh... I know. don;t worry about it.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Poor Kukaku, from his point of view, she seemed like she was the middle-man, or girl for them.]

You...weren't bothered by it?

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

Not when Yoruichi was around.. When Soi Fon spent every waking minute of every day for nearly two months trying to stab me for information didn't have, I got kind of pissed off and I may have almost suffocated her partially by accident.

But it got better after that. Mostly now we just don't talk at all.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He gasped, hands flew up to his mouth and he stepped back a little with a surprised look on his face.]

[upsideyourhead.insanejournal.com]

...What?

[Completely forgetting that repeated stabbing and suffocation attempts are not something most people talk about casually. Kukaku has lead a charmed life.]
