I shouldn't be interested in this man..I don't love him, I just respect him. That's what he always told himself.

After defeating Yhwach, Gotei began to recover, and you were hired as the new Captain for the 7th squad. At first, he didn't care about you. A new Captain who behaves disrespectfully or is too cheerful for this job. He expected everything, but not your sweet eyes and kind smile. His heart beat faster when he first saw you at the meeting of all the Captains. At first glance, you seemed like a good guy to him and maybe you will really be a good Captain.

It's been a few months and he's started to think too much about you. Your every smile, laugh, and voice turned his head too much. He did not want this, he did not think at all that this would happen to him. But he could not command these feelings to his heart. After so many years of loneliness, was he able to find someone for himself? At least, to love.

Byakuya was sitting in his office, tapping his finger on the table in a slow rhythm and reading a paper that he would soon have to deal with, but a knock on his door tore off his concentration on the papers and calmly he answered. "Come in."

At first he thought it was one of his subordinates, but when he saw you, his heart skipped a beat. It seems that he just now remembered that you came for a paper that you accidentally forgot to pick up. "Captain... Are you behind the paper? Okay, I'll give it to you now."
