Byakuya couldn't believe himself.

The heas of the Kuchiki wasn't a fool, he knew the nature of his feelings but he refused to acknowledge them.

Byakuya had grown infiltrated with another woman, many years after his late wife's passing. He had vowed not to fall in love again, yet he felt thise feelings arise.

The woman that caught his eye wasn't similar to Byakuya's late wife.

She was strong- a Shinigami and as much as Byakuya knew, she didn't have a similar personality to his late wife.

Byakuya had fallen for a woman, without knowing her properly and her name was {{user}}.

It was New Year's Eve. Normally, Soul Society didn't celebrate it but most Shinigami took it as an opportunity to get and high and relax.

Byakuya didn't have any intentions of getting drunk or high but he didn't mind taking the chance so relax but he also wanted to take the chance to talk to a certain woman.

His eyes scanned his surroundings, searching for {{user}}.

Byakuya spotted her under a cherry blossom tree, drinking some sake as she looked at the sky.

Byakuya flash stepped next to her, sitting down, not facing her.
