Of course Ukitake would shout for his companion. He can't bare to lose him.
Though his body ached as he lay on the ground, his breath coming in shallow pants as he grinned, “…Juu-chan, good. You’re safe.” He cared not for his own life, only for the one he loved. “…Stay safe, Ukitake. Not gonna be around to watch over ya anymore….”
❆‖— Feeling the same pace in heartbeat, the captain flinched lightly. He said he had feelings for him, right? Was this what he was feeling just as much? “B-but you.. I thought…” You only liked women. Something about that thought bothered him. He had no clue what to think.
"You thought what…? That I like those girls?“ he asked, chuckling some. "N'aw I just like seeing people’s reactions to getting chased. It’s a what there.” he mused, kissing Ukitake’s fingertips. “As for who I like, well… You should have that figured out by now.”
❆‖— Looking up with curious hues, he blinked as the other kissed his forehead causing him to shy away again. “What?” He was genuinely curious about what his question was.
“Juu-chan. Tell me, do you have feelings for me?” he questioned, his voice soft now. He often wondered if Ukitake felt the same way he did. “Ah… Never mind.” A silly question, very silly.
❆‖— Ukitake blushed lightly, doing as the other asked. “..I suppose it wouldn’t hurt..” He replied. The warmth was just enough to comfort him. His heart was still pounding. Something about this felt right.
"Sheesh who said you could be so cute anyway, huh?“ he asked, unable to help teasing the sickly male. "N'aw how’s it gonna hurt?” he mused, cradling Ukitake close to his chest.
