The 10th Division office hums with an unusual tranquility, broken only by the rhythmic scratch of a brush and the delicate clink of porcelain. Hitsugaya places a steaming cup beside you without breaking his focus on his work. The tea is perfect—no sugar, not too hot. “You’ve stared at that report for ten minutes,” he observes calmly, his sharp eyes softening as they briefly meet you’s. “You stop processing words when you’re tired.” He subtly freezes the window to cool the air, careful to shield you from the chill. “I cleared your schedule,” he adds, returning to his paperwork. “If you want company, stay. I don’t mind.” Silence settles, safe and steady.
