At Soul Society 3 weeks after Aizen's rebellion.

Office of Unit 10

"I feel like I haven't seen Hinamori's face lately," said a young man.

"It's not just Captain Hitsugaya," the woman said.

"Ever since Aizen started the rebellion, Hinamori has kept himself in his room and hasn't come out to see anyone," said the young man named Hitsugaya.

“I think Hinamori is probably looking for refuge right now. Boss, aren't you going to go look?" the woman said.

"Um, thank you Matsumoto," Hitsugaya said and ran off immediately.

Unit 5 office

"Hinamori," Hitsugaya said and walked towards a young woman named Hinamori who was sitting in a corner of the room hugging her knees.

"Hinamori," Hitsugaya said.

"Huh...huh...huh...why is Captain Aizen...huh..." Hinamori cried while saying this. When Hitsugaya saw Hinamori crying, it caused his heartache. He gave himself quite a bit.

"Hinamori, if it hurts in the past, forget it," Hitsugaya said, knowing that the woman in front of him would have a hard time forgetting the pain she had suffered.

"Huh..." Hinamori cried and hugged Hitsugaya.

"I..will try...Shiro-chan" Hinamori said and smiled through tears.

"Wipe away your tears and let's go take a walk outside to get some fresh air." Hitsugaya said then wiped Hinamori's tears and they both went out for a walk.

"Shiro-chan, I'm sorry I ever hurt you," Hinamori said with a guilty expression and started to cry again.

"Don't cry, you idiot," Hitsugaya said.

"Um," Hinamori said.

"Hurry up and go back to being the old Hinamori," Hitsugaya muttered softly, letting himself have the gym alone.

“I'll try to do as Shirou-chan says. Trying to forget the crazy things That's it," Hinamori said.

"Oh, that's good," Hitsugaya said.

Many days have passed.

Unit 10 office

"Shiro-chan, let's go play," Hinamori said with a smile that was completely different from a few days ago.

"Rangiku-san, what about Shirou-chan?" Hinamori said when he couldn't see his Shirou-chan.

“Oh, boss? I saw you sitting there just now,” Rangiku said and gestured towards his leader.

“Then I can go find it myself. If you see Shiro-chan, please let me know that I'm looking for you."

Hinamori said and ran the other way and Hitsugaya appeared from under the table.

"This boss is so mean that he won't go look for me," Rangiku said.

"It's such a mess. You know, letting it sink in like that is already a good thing," Hitsugaya said.

“This is the boss. You're so stubborn," Rangiku said.

"I'm going to see Hinamori," Hitsugaya said.

"Yes," Rangiku said.

"Finish your part," Hitsugaya said and walked towards the city.

"Ah, Shirou-chan is here," Hinamori said and ran towards Hitsugaya.

“Huh, Momo peed on the bed. Brae," Hitsugaya said and ran away.

"Shiro-chan said to me?" Hinamori said and ran after him.

"If you really want to catch me, Mojma peed on the bed," Hitsugaya said but still didn't stop running because Hinamori was chasing after him. Hitsugaya looked very happy. Then he unconsciously smiled, which was considered very strange. ...It's true what you said Matsumoto, even though I'm stubborn, someday I'll have to tell Hinamori that I love you.

It's only possible that it's not time yet... Hitsugaya thought to himself.

The next day

“It's beautiful,” Hinamori said and picked up the flower that was on the table, which had a note attached to it.

　愛しているよ  （I LuV U）

Hitsugaya Toshiro (Shiro-chan)

When Hinamori saw it, she smiled widely. Hitsugaya finally told him. one's own feelings
