    Summary

    “Sorry about the blood in your mouth,” Ichigo whispers. “I wish—”

    The hand clenched in his haori loosens, dropping by his side.

    “Why did you save me?” he whispers.

    Kisuke stares at the boy in his arms.

    “You asked me to,” he quietly says, and licks the crimson of his heart from his teeth. “How could I say no?”

    Summary

    “I volunteer for the mission,” Kisuke says before he can think it through further. Because if he’s right, if this is who he thinks it is, then he wants nothing more than to go to Hueco Mundo this instant. His mind is a litany of Ichigo Ichigo Ichigo even when he knows logically that it’s not the best decision to make to avoid suspicion.

    “As captain of the research department, your expertise will be invaluable, Urahara-taichou,” Yamamoto approves. “Any other volunteers?”

    “Ah hell, I ain’t seen any action fer a while. I’ll go,” Shinji pipes up.

    It’s amusing to think that maybe the Soul King is watching over him right now because this is the best-case scenario for him. If this is Ichigo, and it’s entirely probably that it is because his lover isn’t someone to be taken lightly, Shinji is the easiest one to convince to give him some leeway. From the sounds of things, Ichigo is completely hollow right now, and that means this is going to be rough. But he’ll do it because he loves Ichigo and he’ll do anything for him.

    Summary

    Saying he woke was a bit… overstated. More like he foggily was no longer unconscious.

    Very foggily.

    And achily.

     

     

    What the hell happened?

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Wait, right. Experiment. ‘This will be absolutely fascinating, Kurosaki-kun! Imagine what we can learn about the nature of zanpakuto spirits! We already know that the ‘known’ information about them is… shaky, at best.’ Followed by a glance up at him from manically bright eyes and a tilt to thin lips while the pose bared his neck and—

     

     

    And big strong Kurosaki Ichigo folded like fucking tissue in the rain, he sighed at himself.

    Summary

    “I disagree. I think you’d find my opinion to be the majority,” Kisuke sniffs haughtily. “In fact, I’m sure if I asked the Shinigami Women’s Association-“

    “Don’t you dare!”

    “They’d tell me it’s high on the list of ‘Times Kurosaki Ichigo is hottest.’”

    Ichigo can tell in that moment that Kisuke is going to make that article happen if he has to write it himself, and he wants to groan in frustration and disgust, but there’s a smile tugging at his lips. “Fuck off,” he says after a beat. Can’t have Kisuke thinking his idea is acceptable.

    Summary

      “Why do you keep touching me?” Kisuke asks, finally.

    It’s none of the circling that Ichigo’s expecting. He’s used to Kisuke talking his way around issues until he gets what he needs, and no one even realises what they’ve said because they’re too busy being confused over how their conversation got to that point. This is not that. This is direct and blunt—the way he prefers to do things. Which admittedly, makes his life easier.

    “You like it,” he says. He’s not asking, because he knows. “And it gave me an edge.”

    “You still lost,” Kisuke points out.

    Ichigo hums, but silently disagrees. Because he feels like he won just as much with this fight. “Worth it,” he says instead, and grins when there is a slight flush of pink on Kisuke’s cheeks that goes just as fast.
