Snow & Ice - A Hitsugaya Tale (Chapter 8)

Alice and Hitsugaya move into another awkward phase and are confused on what to do. Both want to move forward but are nervous

Alice: Alice stared back at Hitsugaya without really knowing what to do. Hitsugaya moved away from her. His face was red and he quickly met her eyes only to look away twice as fast. She too, averted her eyes. She could feel her face heating up. "Umm...Uh, Its okay." She tried to start a conversation up.
"I have a lot of p..paper work to get to." Hitsugaya quickly left her alone again. Alice breathed out. Her heart was racing. She stood in awe for a moment before deciding to head back and get her own paper work done.

Toshiro: Toshiro practically ran back to his office. And just his luck, Rangiku, as if on cue, was waiting for him. "Capitan, whats up!" She greeted him with far to much
enthusiasm for the moment. "Rangiku, I don't have time for this!" He wanted to get rid of her as fast as he could. "Hey, wheres Capitan Hirataka?" At the sound of her name Toshiro's face heated up once more. He was afraid Rangiku would notice and sure enough she started up once more. "Capitan? Aww did something happen?" She immediately got in his face and pressed for details. He tried his best to hid his face.

Alice: Alice paced her office. Many times she was visited but she asked to be alone. Hisagi stood at her door. He had refused to leave.
"Capitain you look flustered. Are you alright."
"Hisagi, i promise i'm fine!"
"Well you don't look fine, and i think Hitsugaya would agree."
Alice looked up so fast she almost hurt herself.
"How..How do you know that?" She was nervous.
"You and Captain Hitsugaya should be more discrete when youdecideto do something like that Ma'm."

Toshiro: Toshiro pleaded with Rangiku to drop the subject. But she wouldn't budge.
"Me and Hirataka had a run-in thats it!"
He was starting to become angry when a knock at the door distracted him. Rangiku ran to the door and almost fell over laughing. When she moved away Hitsugaya's heart stopped. Alice was standing there looking as nervous as he felt.
"Hi!"
"Umm, Rangiku please go do your work."
With a smile and a nod she promptly left the room. He was alone again with her.
"Toshiro, ummm can i talk to you?"
"Sure" He showed her to a seat.
