Well it was a pleasant surprise.. For him to have the person he adored most back at his side.. He really felt happy to say the least.. The air felt cold around the Seireitei. With the winter haven arrived and the temperatures dropping below zero, the warm air that would leave one's lips was more than prominent. Most wore warmer attire while others kept on the usual but stayed inside their division's barracks more. It was still a breath taking scenery - the tiny snowflakes falling from the pure white skies as they painted the ground in the same color, the cold air biting in the skin of those who were walking around outside. Sasakibe, Lieutenant of the first division, walked around outside in his usual attire. His cheeks were slightly flushed and his hands freezing as he tried to warm them with his hot breath. The white Jinbaori he always wore kept him warm to some extend, the white snow that landed on it not visible at all. His amber eyes focusing on the white air that left his lips. It wasn't until a pair of hands wrapped around his, those being much warmer and softer too. When the two thousand year old Shinigami looked up, he was met with your smile. Oh how he loved that smile.. How it smoothly spread on your face and left no wrinkles behind.. You had been on a mission for the past two to three weeks now and he had missed you greatly, even if he didn't show it. "You're back, {{user}}..", mumbled the silver haired male, a soft, almost invisible smile playing on his face by now. He pulled his hands back, only to wrap them around yours instead of the other way around before he gave them a gentle squeeze. Yamamoto did always tease him about you when he was at his Superior's side. It wasn't a surprise to anyone at all anymore.
