Restlessness took over you the day you moved in with Shunsui to the first squad quarters. The fact it was Yama-Jii's previous residence, and where Lieutenant Sasakibe Chōjirō died, did not help one bit, neither did the fact that the Mūken prison is right beneath you, the place Yhwach visited to see Aizen Sōsuke.
You used to like it, but when the old man and his vice-captain were still alive. However, you had no choice in the matter as your husband's new post requires it.
In the past week many things changed; your home was nearly destroyed, your leader is dead, thousands of soldiers shedded their blood in vain, and thousands more are wounded, and perhaps worst of all, at least to you, your husband isn't himself anymore.
The goofy, laid-back Kyōraku Shunsui, the man you fell in love with and married, turned into a hollow shell of what he used to be. It breaks your heart and soul to see him lifting the weight alone.
You barely saw him after the Central 46 appointed him the new Captain Commander of the Gōtei 13, he's been working relentlessly since day one, an attempt to not lose his mind. Although he hides well, too well that everyone thinks he's an insensitive bastard, but you know... you know the grief and sorrow he's dealing with through this ordeal, and what makes it worse, he doesn't allow you to help him through. However, you're as stubborn as he is, and perhaps more. You won't let your husband, love of your life struggle like this, alone.
You don't stir in bed like the couple nights before, however, as Shunsui lays next to you after you practically dragged him to take some rest. But you know neither him nor you could actually sleep.
Unlike your usual nights, and while your head rests on his naked chest, you two are awfully silent tonight. Nights with your husband used to include sessions of drinking sake and heated love-making, or just talking till dawn. These habits of yours drove Nanao insane, because her Captain would just sleep around, leaving most of work upon her. Tonight though, you feel something akin to coldness between you two. Yet, hesitantly, you run your fingers on his hairy chest; your husband always welcomes your touch. Shunsui groans slowly before catching your hand in his, it's so tiny in his large one, and bringing it to his mouth to kiss.
Lifting your head up, you bring your other hand up to his stubbled cheek, brushing your thumb fondly to his skin. Within the darkness, you stare at his eyes. You cannot see his damaged one even though he's taken the eye patch off. You cup his cheeks in both hands, the fingers of your left hand tug a strand of his loose hair behind whatever left of his right ear before you kiss his lips.
It seems that your husband is desprate; his warm arms encircle your body, pushing you deeper into his hold, his hands cupping your buttocks before they ram up to your lower back then caressing your sides. You moan against his mouth, your hands stroking his face and hair fondly.
Suddenly, Shunsui breaks the kiss. He rests his forehead against yours momentarily before he sits up adroitly, his back facing you. He heaves a sigh then stands up.
“Shun?” You lift yourself up on the bed.
“Be right back, love.” He says without gazing back at you, and heads outside the bed chamber.
You fight the urge to follow and comfort him, choosing to wait for him to return on his own, giving him some privacy. You know how hard it is for him; his teacher and father figure died, your home is damaged beyond count, and he's been handled cumbersome responsibility as the new Captain Commander of the Gōtei 13.
You wait for two, three, four, five minutes, but you cannot any longer. In the past few days, you felt like some kind of a wall being built up between the two of you, and you cannot allow it to separate you.
You slide off of the bed, slipping in your husband's flowery kimono, sweeping out of the room. Tracing Shunsui's reiatsu, you find him in Yama-Jii's office terrace. You see his naked body bathing in the moon's light. Its silver hue highlights Shunsui's body, and glistens off his brown hair.
“Shunsui, darling, are you alright?” You say, getting closer to him.
You know it's a stupid question, but you had to ask him anyway.
“I will eventually be, my love, worry not about me.” He answers, his back is still to you.
You sigh. You had your suspensions, but now you're certain, for Shunsui never talks to you in such a manner; he doesn't want you to see his face without the eye patch.
You reach next to him, taking his hand in yours, caressing his arm with the other. Turning him to finally face you, you chuckle silently when he closes his eyes. At least he didn't lose his usual childishness. You cup his face again, standing on your toes to reach his face, kissing his forehead, nose, then each eye.
“You can't hide it forever, husband.”
He sighs, “No, I don't think I can, especially from you, wife.”
You give him a small smile when he slowly opens them, his intact eye is looking at you with anticipation. He's... afraid. You flinch for a mere moment when your eyes land on his other eye, or where it used to be. It pains you, your heart stings. Your trace your thumb ghostly on it.
“You let such an opponent to poke your eye out, you idiot boy.” Shunsui chuckles bitterly, “Think that how Yama-Jii would've scolded me.”
You snore a bit, patting his cheek playfully. “I think he'd more disappointed if he knew you thought this would scare your wife off, knowing fully well that she's seen much worse things.”
Shunsui grins a tad, cupping your cheek. “How come you know such detailed things?” He whines, “I guess an apology is required.”
You gasp dramatically, “You really thought I'd run away because my husband is now with one eye and one and a half ear?” you chuckle, “Hate to disappoint you, Shun, but you gotta work a lot more harder if you wanna get rid of me.”
“Is it possible to do it though?” He teases you back.
“No, because I'm inevitable.” You peck his lips, “So is my love to you. You're trapped with me here.”
He grins, “I'll not have it any other way with you.” Then he kisses your forehead.
“For the record, I'm not the one trapped with you, but you're the one trapped with me.”
It seemed fitting for the grand finale of the series to be an umbrella pride dragon to represent the community as a whole. If you identify as part of the LGBT+ community in any way at all, this one’s for you :)

With an elongated, tired sigh, you stepped out side the elevator with each of your muscles aching. The business trip took longer than intended, and you had to be with your co-workers till the end.
The flats corridor's floor was cold, nipping on your toes as you slipped your heels off once you were inside the building you lived in, hooking them up your fingers while dragging your suitcase behind you. Reaching your apartment door, hands rummaging your purse for keys, you hissed a fuck; stupid keys were nowhere to be found.
However, you needed no more searching, as the door creaked open slowly, showing an elegant figure behind it.
“Welcome home, love,”
Your husband's dulcet voice made your heart flutter, you dropped everything in hands in order to jump onto his hold in an eager hug.
Oh, how much you missed your husband.
Head up, chin resting on his collar, you gazed up at him ardently. Brilliant, grey eyes looking down at you before he pressed a kiss on your lips. You kissed him back right away.
“I missed you, Shūn,”
“Missed you too, my love,”
You cupped his cheek, giving him a peck, before finally realising he was almost dressed up, his hair was loose, nonetheless, dangling in waves on his board shoulders. “Goin' somewhere?” You raised an eyebrow.
He gave a chuckle, letting go of your hold to carry your luggage inside. “Pretty much the opposite,”
You were far too exhausted to sort out what he meant, but once in, the answer came to you by itself.
Shūnsui had prepared you a dinner, a nice and romantic dinner on that part. The flat was dimly lit, and a very delicious aroma invaded your nostrils, giving away that a satisfying meal was waiting for you. Your stomach growled.
Within your surprise, hunger, and exhaustion, you didn't know what to say. How the hell did you get so lucky? Finding a man like Shūnsui — no there was no man like Shūn, your beloved husband.
Kyōraku Shūnsui wasn't the perfect man to seek for most women out there. He was idle, irritatingly laid-back, unemployed, and worst of all: a womaniser. He wasn't even approved by his own family, his father had always chided him for being such an indifferent and nonchalant man, and after his father died, his older brother wasn't so much better, but at least he respected his younger brother's life and didn't interfere; he was the head of the family, the noble Kyōrakus weren't, fortunately, at Shūnsui's hand, and that alone was a relief for the latter.
Nevertheless, Shūnsui was a formidable man on his own aspect, you found the perfect partner in him for yourself. When you introduced him to your parents and friends; they were astonished. Being in relationship with a noble was a catch indeed, but Kyōraku Shūnsui? They were speechless, and most of them thought it wouldn't work for you two. You were a self independent woman, with decent job and post, you didn't need a man, especially a man like him.
But how people's thinking could be so shallow.
Indeed, you didn't need a man in your life to be perfect as some would presume. But to you, Shūn was everything. Despite his infuriating attitude in certain things and taking sick pleasure in it, although you had your fair share of fighting and bickering when first you two got hooked because of his unabashed behaviour towards women. Even though his laziness was unbearable that sometimes you'd scream in frustration, but he was the world to you.
Shūn was the man you found peace with, his presence in your life brought tranquility to your mind. He understood you like nobody else, he accepted your flaws like nobody did, he loved your imperfect perfection ever so delightfully. How he'd listen to you rambling for hours about abstract and unrealistic things, theorising weird thoughts about the universe while snuggling up to each other on your shared bed, drinking sake and kissing and cuddling. How he'd bare your bossy behaviour as if he were one if your subordinates at work, taking your orders so leisurely with playful "yes, ma'am" and a kiss on your forehead that would always melt your anger away. How he'd leave anything at hand when you needed him and hug you telling you how strong and brave you were.
He was heaven.
Despite his flirty behaviour with other women, and after being with him so long, you concluded that Shūnsui wasn't the cheater type, he'd never betray the woman he pledged his heart to. And in time, you found in it a way to tease him. He once confessed to you that he had a crush on his brother's wife, Nanao's mother, but he always respected her a lot, and you could see why. She was akin to a mother to him, and when you joked around you'd say if he had a mommy kink, you'd be his mommy with pleasure. He had laughed so much at the time, and it ended up with you calling him daddy instead.
“Oh my God!” You squeled in rapture as you saw the neat table ready for you, you gave Shūnsui a quick peck on his cheek, telling him you'd have a quick shower anf get changed.
Stepping outside the bathroom with damp hair and a towel around your now relaxed body, you went to the closet and picked a sexy, short red dress for the dinner. You grinned widely as you looked at yourself in the mirror; he'd definitely like it, he liked everything on you in fact.
True he was a man of a huge appetit, Shūnsui was never a demanding male. Of course, he loved to fuck you the most; pleasuring you, his beautiful woman, making you moan uncontrollably as he drew an orgasm after another in one session, turning you into a cumming mess as you clung desperately onto him. The sensual intimacy was one of perks of being Shūn's woman; everything could be turn into hedonism with him. He was a master at it, and he used it to vent you when you were distressed.
Shūnsui knew, he always knew when you just needed to be heard, when you needed advice, or when you needed an outlet from your stress. He'd make you cum over and over till your mind go blank, till you think only of him. He'd claim you multiple times with his remarkable, hairy body and you wouldn't even complain.
You spruced your hair up after drying it up, and applied a bit of make-up before emerging from the bedroom again.
You heard Shūnsui whistle, and you blushed.
“Wow, glad I came up with this instead of taking you out,” he took your hand and pressed a kiss on it. “You look stunning, milady,”
“Charmer,” You giggled, “You look handsome yourself,”
Your giggles turned into a slight yelp as he pulled you by the arm into his chest, placing a large hand on your derrière before starting to kiss you with hunger.
“Mmm, Shūn it's been a rough week without you...” You said between the kisses, “You have no idea how much I missed you.”
He made amused guttural sounds in his throat; your core throbbed.
“Oh, yeah, I pretty much have a major idea, sending me all those sexy pics of you,” He sucked on your lower lip teasingly, “naughty girl,”
You flushed at the memory; in the middle of the trip, when you were in your hotel room, you snapped yourself a bunch of salacious pics of yourself, sending them to your husband out of sheer playfulness, you already knew how needy he was in your absence, and you liked to tease more.
“Thought they might become handy for your inspiration,” Now you bit on his lips, “Come to think of it. How's it goin'?”
He chuckled before flashing you a handsome smirk, “Pretty good actually, and your source of inspiration was indeed helpful. But I tend to more concrete inspiration, tho, wouldn't you agree, (Y/N)-chan?”
He gave you a playful squeeze on your butt to emphasize his point.
Although your cheeks were bright red, you couldn't let him have this game alone, you flashed him a smirk of your own.
“You know I'd love to be your Mona Lisa, Shūnui,”
As he was about to kiss you again, your stomach gurgled again. He chortled.
“Guess it has to wait till you eat, darling,”
You didn't know why, but you felt slightly embarrassed, and felt many things at the same time.
Shūnsui ushered you to the table, and like the gentleman he was, he pulled the chair for you, then took the seat across from you.
He poured a drink that you needed so much, before serving you your meal.
Shūnsui was the househusband whereas you were the employed one. But that doesn't mean that he didn't have a job. Shūnsui was a self-published author, writing mostly erotic and romance novels, and part-time artist with amazing talents.
You both talked about how you two spent the week separately, while having your delicious meal together; Shūnsui was an expert cook.
Your week wasn't that exciting, you were up to your neck with work as you were accompanying the boss himself to make deals and important stuff. Ukitake Jūshirō was one of the sweetest men you'd ever met, and you were luck he was your boss, and more to that, you werw so grateful to him, because he was the one who introduced you to his best friend years ago, whom now was your wonderful husband. You were so lucky.
On the other hand, Shūnsui wasn't much engrossed in work. He worked on some arts and made advances, same with his upcoming novel, especially after you provided him the inspiration he needed so much.
When you finished your supper, he insisted on not letting move a spoon, he told you to just wash your hands and take a rest, he'd take care of everything.
In the living room, he came with a bottle of sake —his and your favourite— with two cups. You snuggled up to his chest once he was seated, and started chatting about random things.
His free hand twiddled your hair slowly, caressed your back sensually, while kissing you now and then.
This was your favourite activity; just sake and kisses. Speaking and discussing each other's fantasies and laughing yourselves off of ridiculous matters.
“Gonna tell Ukitake not to take you from me like this,” He said against your lips in a deep drawl, “It was suffocating without you, (Y/N),”
Cheek pressed to your palm softly, you kissed his nose tenderly, “My dear Shūn, I'd never leave you like this again, I promise. I couldn't bare it either,” You brushed your thumb to his lips, “Thank you so much for everything you give me. I'm not poetic and charming like you to phrase how much I love you... I love you so much, Kyōraku Shūnsui,”
The smile he shot you melted your heart.
“You know, love, they say: brivety is the soul of wit.” He kissed your forehead with feather-like lips, “I love you, my sweet lovely darling,”
He continued on passing his gentle hand through your hair until you fell asleep on his chest. He pressed another kiss on your forehead before carrying you effortlessly to your bedroom.
