Beach. Everyone has been working so hard lately so why not take a break and enjoy the beach? You can make sand castles, play in the water, and there are even umbrellas for those who'd rather just relax in the shade. There's a nice row of water melons ready to be smashed later in the day and when the sun goes down, that's when the sparklers come out.
Suffering. It's the hottest time of the year and the citadel doesn't have central air conditioning. The few air conditions that were installed have given up on life after being used so much and now, we really have to make do with what we can while the Konnosuke try to fix it. There's a limited number of fans, plenty of ice cream to go around, and the citadel should be built to circulate air, right? ... Right?!
Spooks. In Japan, summer is a time for horror. Gather around the camp fire and hear some spooky ghost stories or maybe head out into the woods just outside the citadel for a good ol' fashioned test of courage. It's all good, harmless fun! Of course, with so many spirits gathered in one place, what's to say a stray or curious outsider spirit won't join the mix...
Rain. Summer is also known for sudden and torrential downpours of rain. The clouds always seem to grown and darken suddenly and the next thing you know, it's raining sheets and the ground is shaking from thunder. Once it starts, it never seems to stop. Maybe you were caught out in the rain or maybe this is day 7 stuck inside.
Other! It's summer and there are tons of things to do. Go to the general store and stock up on ice cream, wake up in the middle of the night uncomfortable with heat, or run around screaming because cicadas are dying and flying at your face.
[Listen, there are a lot of sad broken birds in this Citadel, and he's been doing his best, okay?
Kissing though? Kissing is fine.]
Alright. I can do that.
[But even as he does move to do it, he keeps a soft hold on Ichigo's fingers, just so he'll know Mikazuki is still right there. For someone else, he might have let go entirely, but this is Ichigo's first time.
First he goes for a peck on the cheek. Then one on his hand. Then a nibble on his earlobe. All without words or warning, but always softly.]
[He’d rather not know any of the sordid details... Ignorance is bliss. Let him remind untainted in his pure world for as long as possible.
He greatly appreciates being able to keep a light hold on Mikazuki’s hand as he stands there in darkness. Perhaps one day he’ll be able to stand being alone in the dark again, but today isn’t that day.
Ichigo chuckles lightly at the little kisses on his cheek and hand. He likes those. Then he gasps and shudders at the unexpected soft nibbling on his earlobe. He can’t help gripping Mikazuki’s hand a bit as his ears are wonderfully sensitive.]
