Morning rise i found myself laying on the floor of someone house, i started to panic knowing maybe i broke into someone's house but, i instantly calmed down when i saw my house design 'oh yeah, i forgot, i drank last night with the ladies until taicho came about to scold me but (y/n) interrupted then i ran away with another sake on hand' I thought recalling the events from last night then i calm myself acting like nothing happened.

I stand up from the floor and went to get ready in the bathroom.

After it, i went to my mirror put some make up then leave the house and headed to my captain's office, putting my normal expression. 'It's ok Matsumoto, act like you don't remember anything, if he see right through me, i had back up' i thought grinning madly before proceeding to knock and enter taicho's office.

I just sat on my chair, it's a perfect morning to do my paperwork when i heard the voice of the most annoying person that just ruined the perfect day of mine.

"Taicho~" Matsumoto said opening the slide door. "What is it Matsumoto?" I asked while i started the paperwork and annoyed that my day was just ruined by her. I look at the door and saw her grinning at me, i raised a brow confused what that grin mean "why are you grinning?" I asked, she shrugged her shoulder before taking a seat in the couch still not removing her grin, which is creepy i may say.

I was grinning madly as i went to the couch and sat down looking at taicho who's obviously confused of why i am grinning. Actually because of what i heard when i was outside of squad 10.

Flashback ~

I was outside, rushing my way to the barrack of my captain when i overheard a conversation of the two ladies.

"Hey, did you see captain Hitsugaya of squad 10?"

"No, why?"

"Well, last night i saw captain Hitsugaya in front of a restaurant carrying the daughter of the Head captain Yamamoto bridal style"

"Seriously!?"

"Yeah! By the look of (y/n) sleeping soundly on captain Hitsugaya's arm, she looks drunk. For the fact they look so cute together"

"Ahh! I can't exactly imagine it"

"Here, i took a picture of them secretly. They're really cute~"

"Really!? But, the problem is captain Hitsugaya's fan girls"

"True, if they know about that info, they'll go crazy and they didn't care that the one they'll be against is the Head Captain Daughter"

"I don't care, I'll support this two!"

"Hmm. You're right can i get a copy of this?" I said, which startled them both.

"Lieutenant Matsumoto?" They said in unison, i smiled at them and ask again, "can i get a copy of those?" Which they nodded and gave me a 2 copies. Thanking them i immediately hide the picture copy and dash to the office.

End of flashback ~

"Matsumoto, would you please tell me why are you grinning at me?" I heard taicho said, i lay my back on the couch replacing my grin into a teasing smile. "So...taicho, what happened to (y/n)?" I asked, i saw him flinched a bit, he turned down his head continuing his paperwork which actually trying to avoid the question.

"Come on captain, say something" i said in a teasing tone, then i saw a light shade of pink on his cheek which cause me to grin devilishly but, before i can reply he beat me to it. "Well, lieutenant Matsumoto, mind telling me why third seat (y/n) Yamamoto was drunk?" He asked, i recalled the things that happen last night and thoughtfully regretted it.

But, before i can open my mouth we heard a voice coming from the hallway. Speaking of (y/n), she came through the door holding her head.

"Uh?, oh! Ohayo lieutenant Matsumoto and captain Hitsugaya" (y/n) said, forcing a smile, 'looks like a very painful hangover' i said inside my mind but, reply happily "ohayo (y/n)-san" i looked at taicho and found him staring at (y/n). I heard a groan from (y/n) and found her seated in the couch beside me rubbing her temple trying to ease the pain.

"Oh, by the way Matsumoto nee-san" (y/n) catching my attention, "what is it?" I asked, she looked at me serious "what happened last night when you drag me into the restaurant?" She said and i stated to sweating bullet "uh...i don't know i was super drunk last night" i said desperately trying to hide my nervousness, she gave a hum as a reply before closing her eyes.

I can't think straight when i had a big hangover, 'was i drunk last night?' I thought rubbing my temples easing the unbearable pain on my head then i slightly remember something.

"Hmm. I remember i ordered a tea cause i don't drink, then 'you' Matsumoto forcing the others and me to drink" i said trailing off my sentence and pointing my finger at Matsumoto. "When i refused and face yachiru and told her that kenpachi nii-san calling her, i faced you again once yachiru bolted out then you started to act weird... That's all i can remember" i said tiredly, feeling the intense stare, i glance at Captain Hitsugaya who's actually staring at me.

"C-captain? Is there something on my face?" I asked quite nervous, somehow i manage to pull him out of his trance "n-no, never mind" was all he said and i swear i saw a light pink shade on the tip of his ears but it disappeared quickly. "Oh My Gosh! Taicho Stuttered!!" Matsumoto squealed jumping out of the couch.

"Matsumoto Shut Up!!" Captain yelled, which startled me, the first time he lost his composure, i saw Matsumoto giggle before shrugging it off then she faced me ignoring her fuming captain.

"Well then, what else you remember?" She said eager for an answer, i put my thumb and index finger under my chin remembering something that happened last night.

I sigh in relief that Matsumoto didn't said anything before i fully lost my composure but, i came back to tensed self when i heard Matsumoto ask (y/n) about what the had happened yesterday.

"Well, i remember.." (Y/n) started and i secretly take a glance at her before turning back my attention to the paperwork i had to finish but,i was actually listening to their conversation.

"Well, all i could remember was when inside that restaurant, after drinking the tea uh.. I started to feel a little groggy, and then i saw a small spiky haired guy? Im not sure but, i remember walking up to him almost stumbling but someone catched me on time and carry me bridal style, i swear i said something before he flashstepped me in front of the restaurant door. Next thing i know the person carrying me went to my house, i don't remember what i said that time cause my mind was not functioning, that time i feel myself being lay down on my soft cushion and before i was fully consumed by darkness i feel something kissed my forehead. That's all i can remember" (y/n) finished her sentence.

I looked at them and saw (y/n) laying her back at the couch with her eyes closed she seems asleep, i sigh but before i glance back at my paperwork, Matsumoto is looking at me with that teasing smirk on her face while wiggling her eyebrow up and down.

I began mouthing that i will double her work if she didn't shut up, she stand from the couch quietly not waking (y/n) up and getting something on her shihakusho before waving it in the air. I slightly stand on my chair to have a better look of it and it's seems like a photo of me carrying (y/n) bridal style, my brow twitch in annoyance and anger, and before i can draw my zanpakuto out of its sheath Matsumoto instantly bolted out of my office.

Sighing internally, i leaned on the back of my chair staring at the ceiling when i heard a slight snore causing me to chuckle a bit. I stand up from my chair and went to the drawer grabbing a blanket that i usually use if i'm staying overnight, grabbing it i went to the couch where (y/n) is sleeping and carefully laying the blanket on top of her 'too much for a hangover' i thought as i saw (y/n) sleeping soundly, the corner of my lips tug upward forming a genuine smile.

Kneeling down, admiring her beautiful feature as she sleeps, when i'm about to touch her cheek, i stop myself realizing on what i'm doing. I instantly stand up from my kneeling position heat rush up to my cheeks,i shake my head getting rid of the feeling, when i'm about to go to my desk my heart skipped a beat when i feel my hand being held, turning my head slowly i saw (y/n) and her hands on mine bringing it into her cheek.

My face blushed a scarlet red and i swear there's a steam coming out of my ear right now. Hesitantly but i carefully removes my hand on her and went to seat on my desk. I put my hand on my chest where my heart beat faster than usual.

'What's is this feeling? I never felt it before. Is this what they call...is it love?'
