They left me alone in the house. XD So I come bearing fic! The spoilers of this week's chapter inspired me to finally get around to finishing it up. This is my fabled hat!fic. *laughs* That in the end doesn't have much to do with Shunsui's hat at all. Oh well.

Title: The Beginning
Rating: PG
Word Count: 1,011        FINALLY I PASS ONE THOUSAND! *GLEE*
Characters: Ukitake, Shunsui, Yamamoto, Aizen
Pairing: slight mention of Ukitake/Shunsui
Author's Note 1: Thanks oodles to marionetteblue3, who did beta work on this. Thank you so muuuuch! <33  I did go back and add some paragraphs in later, so there still might be mistakes... So if you see some, it's all my fault! 
A/N 2: This contains spoilers for and direct references to chapters 329, 335, and 355. You might not understand some of the important points and references in the fic unless you have read and remember the dialogue in those chapters.
A/N 3: This fic contains massive rambling speculation on character history and future events. The majority of the main ones were inspired at some point during discussion with VraieEsprit, so even though I know she doesn’t read fic, I just want her to know that THIS IS ALL HER FAULT.  <3

( Ukitake Jyuushirou was afraid. )
