He stood on the roof, gazing up at the sky as he played with his bracelet, red hair blowing in the breeze. Kensei paused and gazed at Ichigo, worried about the young male. After all of what the younger Shinigami had seen, done and lost, he had never been able to mourn the people that he had lost.
Shaking his head, Kensei walked over to stand next to Ichigo, hands tucked into his pockets as they watched the moon rise up over the horizon. Ichigo played with a bit of his long ha ir, brown eyes glazed with thought as he nibbled on his bottom lip.
“You’re thinkin’ hard,” Kensei finally said as the moon continued to crawl up the sky. Brown eyes turned towards him before they blinked a few times.
“Yeah. Remembering a lot actually, mostly my past and my lost world,” Ichigo sighed, turning back to the sky. Kensei reached out and brushed his hand through soft hair in a comforting gesture. “I still can’t believe that they are all really gone. I know Sado has the memories, but sometimes….It’s just not enough.”
“Sometimes you just want the ones that are in your memories,” Kensei replied, getting a soft, sad smile from Ichigo. “I know we’re not the ones you became close to during your first round against Aizen, but we are here for you. All of us, all of the Vizards are here for you.”
“I know,” Ichigo mused, allowing Kensei to draw him close to his body, enjoying the warmth of the strong body. “And I can’t help but thank all of you even as I mourn what I did lose.”
“You can mourn all you want now, Ichigo-kun. You don’t have to worry about that now,” Kensei said lowly as he watched moon shining tears slip down Ichigos cheeks.
“I know, Kensei-kun, I know,” Ichigo replied just as lowly, turning his head to bury his face into Kenseis chest, finally letting go of his heart break.
