My rose garden dreams, set on fire by fiends And all my black beaches (are ruined) My celluloid scenes are torn at the seams And I fall to pieces, I fall to pieces when I'm with you -Cherry by Lana Del Rey
Byakuya and the brave girl stood in front of each other. He held her resume in his hand and his eyes slowly looked through the lines. He learned her name was Y/n L/n. A pretty name. It fits her beautifully face and cheerful personality.
"So, miss L/n, tell me more about yourself", he decided to dig deeper, not because he actually cared what kind of person she was, he was more interested if she had any experience with this type of work or if they should start from scratch.
"I live in the village for as long as I remember", y/n began to explain to him with a smile on her face and her innocent, cheerful personality, "I finished high school not too long ago, then I started working for my family's flower shop".
"So you like flowers?".
"I do, a lot", she nods with a smile, "I grew up around them, I know everything about them. This is how my family raised me".
'So, you mean to tell me that this simple flower girl is the only candidate I have for the position of my temporary lieutenant', Byakuya remained calm as he thought this, but that idea definitely didn't sit right with him. He expected that this girl will be even more work for him than help.
"Do you possess any shinigami power?", he got even more curious as she continued to talk about herself and her everyday life.
"No, I do not", she admits right away, which he didn't like at all.
Byakuya really wanted to be positive about the whole situation, but it didn't look good for him at all. Then he remembered Toshiro's words once again and decided that, if he'll turn her down it will be as gentle as possible. But then the girl said something that caught him off guard.
"Mister Kuchiki", her soft voice managed to catch Byakuya's full attention right away, "I know what you think. I know that you think I'm not suitable to help you around. But I can assure you, that I'm not just a flower girl. I can promise you that I'll take this job to heart and full responsibility".
Byakuya was pleasantly surprised by her determination and dedication to actually prove him wrong. Maybe she would actually take this job seriously and help out. 'You can't judge the book by the cover, right?', Byakuya thought. Plus, he didn't have much choice. It was either her, or no one. So naturally, he....
"Okay", Byakuya nods and gave her his hand for a handshake, "I hope you keep your word".
Y/n got so happy that she got the job, that she let her inner instinct go wild and she stood up and hugged the captain. Byakuya got caught off guard by the sudden after, as Y/n wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer, he froze on the spot not knowing how to react.
"Thank you so much, Mister Kuchiki!", she said with even more cheerful voice. She was still hugging him, which Byakuya didn't actually mind, but it still felt inappropriate.
Y/n slowly let go off the embrace and for a split second Byakuya was disappointed, but he'll never admit it to anyone, especially himself. He fixed the rope that she slightly messed up and cleared his throat to establish dominance.
"I'll expect you here tomorrow morning at 7am sharp", he spoke with a cold, emotionless voice as usual, "Do not be late".
"I won't! I promise!", the girl sounds awfully excited to work for him. Only, if she knew what was waiting for her by the end of the day.
On the next day at 6:55am Byakuya was expecting the girl in front of the palace and he impatiently looked at his watch. She was nowhere to be found and it was almost time for her to start her first day at work. He began to wonder, if he made a mistake by hiring her.
At 6:59am a small steps took his attention right away. He turns to his left side only to see Y/n standing by his side. She greeted him good morning with a bright smile on her face. Byakuya's eyes widened once he saw how she was dressed. She had her hair made beautifully, but her dress...oh her dress.

That dress was awfully inappropriate for this event. It was showing an awfully much cleavage and her shoulders were exposed. As much as this dress was provocative, Byakuya couldn't deny that she looked beautiful in it. Her body looked so elegant in it, not in a dirty way. She simply looked so beautiful in it. Still, it was inappropriate.
Byakuya cleared his throat and got back to his usual cold demeanour. He gave the girl a disapproving look and crossed his arms. "Miss L/n, this dress is highly inappropriate for this establishment", he pointed out, "I hope you brought a change of clothes with you".
"No, I did not", y/n said right away and took a second to look down at her dress, she didn't seem to find anything inappropriate about her dress, "Why, what's the matter?".
"It shows your...assets too much", Byakuya tried to keep his eyes away from her....pretty sight, but as a man it was in his nature to at least take a peak in her....prettiness.
"And why are you looking there, sir?", she put her hands on her hips. What Byakuya didn't know about y/n was that she was stubborn, she would never fall on her knees for a man.
"I...I wasn't...I..",Byakuya's face immediately grew red by the thought of him looking at her big and rather pretty cleavage, "I wasn't looking!".
"Yeah, right", she said that with a small chuckle and shook her head, "I'll find something to cover up, do not worry, sir".
Byakuya was still embarrassed by her comment, but still remained calm. Her dress wasn't that big of a problem, but the thought of the looks she'll get from the other shinigami rubbed him the wrong way. She didn't look like the type to need a man's attention, but still...she won't be left unnoticed by the rest.
