Sitting at the booth in the back of the restaurant often frequented by shinigami that wanted some sweets, was the Vice Captain of Division Eleven. A weary, dead look to his eyes and face was all anyone would see beyond his usual long black hair and uniform. The only thing of note about him was usually how young he was for his rank, his family name and the fact that many had started to view him as a “squishy boy” he didn’t get what that meant particularly, but he could tell some of the girls were interested in him now.
He didn’t have any interest himself though for a few reasons. The first of which was he couldn’t tell if they were only interested in him for his rank or surname. Second was where had all the positive attention been when he was blind and just a bit younger. No he didn’t need any involvement with females, at least not at the moment. At the moment along with the last year corresponding with it, he had been drained by the duty of running Division Eleven. He wasn’t the Captain. He didn’t believe he was anywhere near strong enough to attempt claiming that position nor had he obtained bankai, yet all the same because the previous Captain was no longer around he as Vice Captain was responsible for everything. During a war there was a lot to be responsible for.
He couldn’t stand to be inside of the Eleventh’s barracks another day nor have the prying eyes of his grandfather over his shoulder. So he had come to this place in search of a place to breathe. He enjoyed sweets, many believed because he was still young, but regardless he hadn’t yet chosen what to order. Perhaps some ice cream or chocolate. Something to boost his mood, that he could enjoy, savor and then miss later. Perhaps he should have just ran off to the woods or snuck into a different Division barracks to grab a few hours of sleep. He was so in debt to his body for even still letting him remain conscious, yet all the same he really couldn’t get the weight off his shoulders that was starting to look a little too heavy for the young shinigami.
