"Yo"

"Ah, Love." Shinji turned seeing his fellow Vizard Love Aikawa at the door, propping his arm at the frame with his other arm posed in a greeting. "Nice to see you again. That, not in war or anything."

"Technically, this is still part of the war just the recovering end of it." Love entered the room having removed his shoes at the porch. "There's still the quincies as well and we don't know if they want to start another one for revenge for their leader or something."

"We hope not."

There's a knock on the door. "Hirako-taichou, I've brought tea." Hinamori's voice sounded from behind the door. It slid open revealing the vice captain of the 5th Division. After greeting her captain her eyes fell on the other person in the room. "Oh, Aikawa-dono! I didn't know you were here."
(A/N How do I do this? What would they call him?)

"I arrived not too long ago." Love waved at her.

"I shall bring another cup." Momo placed the tray on the low table before bowing and rushing out to get another cup for the other Vizard.

"You don't have to-"

"And she's gone." Shinji laughed.

Love stared at where Momo Hinamori was moments ago. "She seems nice."

"Yeah. Too nice for my liking but she's a good lieutenant." Shinji sat down around the table, flipping the cups upward.

"Lieutenant" Love thought.

Hinamori returned with a few cups in her hands in case another person may visit the captain of the 5th without prior notice. Shinji having already poured a cup of tea for himself held the pot in his hands to pour Love and Momo's as well.

"Oh no, captain, you shouldn't have."

"Nah, it's fine. You always pour me tea so it's fine if I do it once in a while."

Momo insisted as Shinji tell her it's fine every time, while Love observed their interactions from the side.

"You've been taken care of her, huh?"

"What?!" Shinji asked. "I'm not that irresponsible, Love. I know how to be a captain just like a hundred years ago."

"Hai hai." Love blowed on his cup of tea to cool it off. "But lieutenants, huh? There's a new vice captain of the 7th, I wonder where Kotsubaki is."

"Kotsubaki? Like, Sentaro Kotsubaki? The 3rd seat of the 13th Division." Hinamori inquired looking at Love's direction, her tea held between her hands.

"3rd seat of the 13th Division? He got demoted- Oh." Love thought. But realize that's not his vice captain's name. So... He has a son?! "He has a son?"

"I'm not familiar of each of the lieutenants's private lives so I'm afraid I can't confirm or deny it." Hinamori said sheepishly

"It's fine. I don't know much about my vice captain's life myself." Love took another sip of his tea, and looked down on the liquid tapping a finger on the wooden container. "My vice captain's name is Jinemon Kotsubaki."

"Jinemon" Hinamori muttered

Hirako sighed. "I want to join in this reminiscing about a hundred years ago session but then I'm reminded who my vice captain was."

Silence fell in the room.

"Oh no! That was such a mood breaker! And Momo and Love is starting to bond too! I'm sorry! I'm very sorry! Somebody break the tension!!" Shinji felt guilty but otherwise didn't show it.
