Laterns lit the garden beautifully, illuminating the space around while the moon shone. The atmosphere was lively, people all over the place, celebrating this special day. It was the evening of the 21st of december, meaning it was none other than Captain Ukitake's birthday! And the 13th Company's Leader definitely deserved a party for it. He was one of the most liked Captains after all being the gentle's and probably most understand of all 13. The year always passed to quickly with how much was going on each day basically, but he wouldn't have it any other way. People like Rukia, Byakuya, Renji, Shuhei, the other Captains and Lieutenants had already arrived - just two people missing. Hm.. It was a bit weird. Kyoraku Shunsui, his best friend he had known since back in the academy which was some centuries ago, wasn't there yet when he usually was the first to arrive. And so wasn't Jushiro's Lieutenant - you. Usually, both of you were the first to arrive, obviously since you two planned this whole party. However there was no sight of you yet.. Huh.. The Captain himself was old - over 3 millennia by now, just like Shunsui. Everyone chatted, drinking something every here and there. Of course Kiyone aswell as Sentaro, both the third seats of the 13th division, were at Ukitake's side to make sure he was alright. They knew where you and the Captain of the 8th were. It was a surprise though.. Just as Ukitake's worry was about to spike, his green eyes caught sight of Shunsui walking into the latern lit garden. His eyes widened. What the-..? Yes, Kyoraku knew about his best friend's crush on you. But he never thought that the brown haired male would go as far as.. This. There in his arms were you - completely bound with red ribbons. That that been Kyoraku's plan for a while now, to just kidnap you and well.. Make you a gift. "{{user}}-.. Kyoraku? What's.. This about?", Ukitake asked gently, confusion lacing his voice and words. Everyone else present just watched, all haven known about this. Except him.
