O... oh. Shit. I didn't even...

[He knows Hitsugaya is an adult. But he definitely looks far younger here.]

Sorry...

[freezetheheavens]

[Somehow, seeing Renji so flustered actually makes Toushirou chuckle.

He shakes his head.]

No, it's fine. Besides, it's better for me to be able to look at you properly in this form. [Instead of looking up.] You don't mind my child form?

[notapineapple]

I don't even think of it as yer child form. I know you're an adult. As much as an adult as the rest of us.

[He rubs his face, getting a glass of water instead of booze.]

I like you for you, Toushirou...

[freezetheheavens]

[His words gets a bit of surprise from the captain.

Then his expression softens as he grabs his own glass of water.]

...Mind if I be honest with you....Renji? [He says his name almost hesitatingly. There are few people he's ever used first names with; in fact, Hinamori is the only person he's ever used a first name with.]

[notapineapple]

...Yeah, of course... what's up?

[His mind is already thinking the worse, as he's trying not to show the extra nerves that were coming from him.]

[freezetheheavens]

[He taps a finger against his glass, a rare show of nervousness.

Toushirou evidently looks a little reluctant to reveal what he's thinking, but since they've already made it this far:]

...I do like you. [He confesses, not exactly looking at Renji.] But since this is all new to me, I hope you can manage to be patient with me if you still want to date me after this.

[And he wouldn't blame Renji at all if he decides not to.]

[notapineapple]

...Y... yeah...! Yeah, I can!

[He gives a nod, his face entirely red now.]

S... So you do like me? H... how long?

[freezetheheavens]

[A blink before he looks thoughtful.]

For a while now. I'm not sure how long.

[notapineapple]

A... ah... well uh... I'm glad I finally asked then.

[He chuckles, moving a hand on the counter over, closer to him.]

[freezetheheavens]

[That gets a chuckle out of him, a hint of a smile directed at Renji.]

Then again, I did think you were still into Kuchiki this entire time.

[notapineapple]

Before I realized I was gay, I thought I was too.

[He smiles back, leaning forward.]

Course, most guys do. Makes it real hard to date anyone.

[freezetheheavens]

It's easy to misinterpret it. Can't blame them for that.

[He raises an eyebrow at him.]

[notapineapple]

I guess. It's a pain when you're tryin' to date someone.

[Since Hitsugaya is young looking, he wonders if he has the same type of issue.]

[freezetheheavens]

Would you rather that or looking young enough like a kid that people treat you like one?

[Granted, it doesn't help that he doesn't seem interested in dating either.]

[notapineapple]

Why does it gotta be one or the other? How about both just suck?

[He'd rather neither of them deal with this, but hey. That's their lot in life.]

[freezetheheavens]

I agree with you there.

[A sigh escapes from him.]

[notapineapple]

So. For now, let's get rid of both those problems.

[and date each other.]

[freezetheheavens]

[He laughs.]

'For now', Renji? [A teasing smirk.] And here I thought you'd want to be long-term.

[...He's teasing /gasp.]

[notapineapple]

A... ah! Hey! That's not what I meant!

[His face just keeps getting redder.]

D... Don't tease me like that!

[freezetheheavens]

[He smirks.]

You make it easy to tease you.

[notapineapple]

Yeah, cause I like you.

[He shakes his head.]

[freezetheheavens]

It goes both ways.

[notapineapple]

Too bad I ain't that good at teasing.
