Makino giggled softly. "What do you mean if you were? You're not and you still are." She turned back to dinner finishing up as she opened the oven and took out their dinner.
Sojiro was walking over to the table with the dishes as he shrugged his shoulders. "True, but I have that right. You're my girl now and no man," he set the last plate and turned to look at her as she walked toward him with their dinner. "OR God." He said wrapping his arms around her waist from behind when she sat the dish down. "Is going to take you away from me."
She patted his hands that rested to her stomach as she turned her head and kissed his cheek. "You're too sweet. Too bad my brothers can't be more like you. Their reasoning would be because you're not noble or you're an Ichimaru. Or you're just not good enough for the Masanobu bloodline."

Sojiro set his head on her shoulder. “Then I will just have to prove myself to them. That won’t be anything new. And as far as not being of noble blood, I’m the son of the woman who was a goddess’ vessel. I think that’s as good as being descended from the gods somewhere deep in your lineage.” He released her. “Also, I’m stubborn enough not to care if you’ll stay with me.”

Makino froze within his arms with his confession or slip of his tongue, his words repeating in her head.
"I’m the son of the woman who was a goddess’ vessel." ... "Son of a goddess’ vessel."
She turned in his arms as he lifted his head from her shoulder. "You're...you're Godly? Is that why you knew Ouranos was a God?" The look on his face as his arms dropped from around her waist told her he had slipped in telling her. He back slowly away from her as she caught his hand before he got too far away.
"Soji-kun. Does anyone else know this?" She was not mad, just worried. If news of this were to get out, Sojiro would be in more fights than he knew what to do with. Pointless fights with meatheads just trying to prove a point. "Soji-kun. Please talk to me."

Sojiro sighed and took her hand. He hadn’t meant to reveal that, but with all the secrets and details in his life, having one more in the open relaxed him. With her reaction. He squeezed their joined fingers. “I am not Godly, but I do have a limited use of Godly powers. It’s why I am still in the Academy this year. My family knows. As well as Kisuke, Tsuki and Izuru. They were there when I started to use them.” He looked to the window, his grip tightening on her. “It’s one of the reasons I knew Ouranos was a god and Aizen has challenged me.”
He turned back to her, smiling crookedly. "If this is too much for you, we can take a step back. You'll still be my friend-"
He didn't get to finish as she lifted up to kiss him.

Parting from the kiss, she wore a huge smile as she looked up at him. "After being scared for a whole year that you would not like me for nothing but a friend and now I finally got you as my boyfriend~, you think I am going to let you go?" her head shook quickly.
"No way Mister. You're stuck with me, like it or not." She kissed his lips softly once more, pulling back she whispered softly like she was telling him a big secret. "Plus, I like the envious look on Ayako's face when she sees us together. She always swore you would be her boyfriend before you both graduated."

Sojiro chuckled. “I hadn’t noticed.”
And he really hadn’t. If it hadn’t been for Riku approaching him in the middle of his first year, when he had been checking his first quarter’s grades, he would have focused on one thing - getting stronger. He wouldn’t really have seen the students around him as possible friends.
And he wouldn’t have met Makino. He stroked her head with a gentle smile, recalling their first meeting.
--- He’d joined Riku at a table for lunch and soon some others were coming by - tall muscular boys with sneers on their faces. People he had trounced in the physical exams without trying. The bullies started on the friendship between a thief and traitor's son, something about swine belonging with swine and getting pretty rowdy. And then they said something personal about Riku. Sojiro had stood, but before he could punch the nearest one, the boy tripped. Backwards.
Behind, Mitsuo had given Sojiro a lazy evaluation before looking to the rest of the group around Sojiro's table. “Trust me," he shrugged. "I’m saving you from a world of pain. I don’t think Ichimaru gives a fuck about the details - with that glare. And reiatsu.” “Not that you deserve it.” That had been Shin and there was a girl besides him, her fingers clenched around her tray, her eyes dark violet pools of righteous rage.
At first, it seemed that Shin and Makino were a couple, but she herself had dashed that when she bonked Shin and whispered something and Shin groaned. Eating a few of the broccoli sticks he had pushed aside. She’d smiled, quickly finished her meal, and bowed before running off.
Then she had looked just as fierce in their next zanjutsu class. It had intrigued him.
Though at first he had worried she was angry at him. But he later learned through Shin and Mitsuo that she was out for revenge and a bit too focused.
So he started to keep an eye out for her.
--- He chuckled again. "You're of one mind when you've got something you want, aren't you?"

"Hm," Makino hummed lightly. "I can be, but only when it comes to something important. Just because I want it, don't always make it important." She smiled and gestured toward the table.
"It's getting cold."
Sojiro nodded and the two sat down at the table, Makino sitting across from him. They filled their plates and started eating. After taking a bit she looked over to him. "I haven't ask in awhile, but have you heard anything about your father?" She reached over and took his free hand in hers when he sighed.

Sojiro squeezed her hand. “No, I haven’t. And I went to see him this weekend.” His face twisted into a grimace. “No change. Even at a crucial time.” He set his fork down.
“Crucial time?”
Sojiro sighed. “Mother came with me this time, but he didn’t respond. And that….” he paused, “I can’t give you the details. But it changes the dynamics of my family. And I still don’t know what I think about it.”
“So your mother came out of hiding?”
“In a way,” he murmured. “I know where she is, but she will stay hidden for the most part… for now.” He started eating again.

"Well..." Makino started. She then cast her eyes to the table looking back up at Sojiro after a few seconds. When she did he was looking at her waiting for her to finish her thought. She smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.
"At least you know your mother and little brother are doing well and are safe at least. That's an upside..." She paused again her head tilting slightly. "Isn't it?"

Sojiro’s smile grew slightly. “Yes, it is,” he stated. At least until my father finds out. If he does.
His eyes lowered, considering the fact that Kisuke had pulled Kita and Seto apart during the ceremony and the raised voice from Seto about protecting his family. He didn’t think that had to do with his father. He returned his attention to Makino. “Daj would think your zanpakuto power was pretty. He’s been chasing butterflies recently.”

"I would love to meet them one day," she smiled, "even your father." She took another bite then a sip of her tea and looked back to him. "What's it like living in the human world. I heard that the humans are rather clueless about us and the hollows that hunt them. Is that true." She then giggled.
"Though one of the girls fathers that works within the Masanobu Clan. She has been there and she said they have the coolest clothes and shoes." She giggled again with a wave of hand to dismiss it. "Sorry getting off track here. Its a girl thing."

Sojiro grinned. “So I have heard. My god aunt Rangiku used to buy all sorts of stuff there when she could get away from work. Tsukiro, when he was younger, was just as bad, I heard.” He sipped at his own tea. “But either way, I’m sure I can find someone to shop with you when we get a chance to visit. You’d like Yuzu, I think. And the normal people can’t see or sense us, but you will find out for yourself that the events in Karakura has given the people of Karakura more of an awareness than most humans. They can’t see us or the enemy but after the takeover, their sixth sense is a little stronger. It could be a good thing.”

Makino nodded quickly with a bright smile. "I am sure I will love your family and friends." She leaned toward him and kissed his cheek lightly. As she sat back she took another bite, chewing, swallowing and then looking back to her boyfriend.
"So what else do we have in the way of school work, before we can snuggle on the couch?"

Sojiro smiled and rose to place his dishes in the sink and grab some bowls for the dessert. Setting the bowls down, he pulled the cobbler out of the oven. “I have my essay to finish. What about you?” he murmured, coming over with the dessert and ice cream.
Makino hummed as she thought about what she had finished and what was left. "Kido spells that Ayase shared with me." When Sojiro looked at her oddly she explained. "He figured I was ready for them since my Kido level was high and my zanpakuto is Kido based."
"Ah," Sojiro replied scooping ice cream into the bowls.
"And Calligraphy." She added getting up and putting her dishes in the sink next. She turned at the sink, "more tea?"
Sojiro shook his head. “I think I will go for some of the milk in the fridge with this kind of rich dessert. The cinnamon is making my tummy rumble even after eating all that stir fry, too.” He started serving the cobbler into two bowls and set the rest aside. “How much ice cream?”
“Just one scoop, please,” Makino responded, returning with the milk jug.
Sojiro nodded, placed two scoops in his bowl, and handed her his bowl, kissing her cheek. “Thank you for dinner tonight, Maki-Hachi."

"You're welcome," she smiled warmly at him. "I like to cook anyway so it was no big deal." She took a bite of her desert and swallowed after chewing. "Though I think you and Riku need to go shopping worse than me and Sayoko."
Sojiro laughed, choking a bit on his bite of peach and oats. Taking a a drink of milk, he rubbed his head sheepishly. "That's my fault, actually. It's my turn to do the shopping.... but I have been kind of distracted. I'll try to do that tomorrow."
Getting an idea she looked quickly over at Sojiro. "Can we do it together?... If you want that is." Her question sounded more like a request then her asking. Her toned then lowered as did her eyes.
"I...keep putting it off because..." She looked back up. "Well...I just keep forgetting." She giggled softly playing it off so not making Sojiro worry more. He had enough on his mind and he did not need to fret about her because she was worried she might run into Ouranos again and be defenseless against him.
He was a God after all. There was nothing she could do to stop him. Especially when he had her under his powers.
