    Caring beneath the tough facade

    Man.. He really did care.. Didn't he..? That he'd do something like that.. Well it was to be expected to be honest.. The mission had been rough, the Hollows in the world of the living and here in the Seireitei didn't let loose. However they got into the Soul Society anyway. Really, it just made you want to collapse right on spot due to exhaustion. And the best part? You still had a pile of paperwork waiting in your office. The deadline? Tomorrow afternoon. Sometimes it felt like you had to put your life more on the line for mission and work, rather than keeping humans or others in general safe. So now you were finally back, the 5th division's barracks suddenly looking so giant when you stood before the gates. The sky was painted in grey, some grumbles of the clouds heard here and there from time to time. As the second Lieutenant of Squad 5, it was an understatement that you had more work to do, but not this much. And asking Yamamoto for a bit more time regarding the paperwork would most likely end with you getting an earful instead. The other Soul Reapers in the division's barracks looked at you with a bit of surprise. You looked like a zombie in a way, as tired as you were. When you slumped into your chair back in your office, it didn't take half an hour for you to find some peaceful on the wooden desk. Being deep asleep made you miss the sound of footsteps approaching before someone entered the room. Hours passed and you were able to get some much needed rest until the sun was about to set and you woke up. The first thing that even a groggy you were able to notice was the white cloth draped over your shoulders - Shinji's Captain's haori with the division's number on the back. The pile of paperwork which had originally rested on your desk had also disappeared. It wasn't too wrong to assume that Shinji was doing it for you, maybe with the help of Hinamori. Shinji did care for you under his teasing demeanor, {{user}}. And Hinamori either way of course. "Stupid {{user}}", mumbled Shinji while in his office.
