@rambling-idi0t part
The espada stood and stared at the wall in silence. He wasn't used to this feeling. This feeling of warmth and.... Love. He loves you, and he doesn't understand why.... You were human.. Weak, fragile and in need of protection.. His protection. He wanted to protect you, to keep you safe from anything that could hurt you... But do you want his protection? Of course you don't! He was a monster, a freak, he knows he isn't good enough for you but that doesn't matter... You stole his heart and he's more than willing to let you keep it..
My part
it all started when the octopus espada decide to came into the world of living at night to hunt for hollows. he wasn't expecting any human to stumble upon him nor expect anybody to even see him. until you, you were standing right behind him. you were only walking your way back home to eat your late night food you got from a convenience store. there you are. behind him. staring at him as he eating a hollow. he seems to notice the sweet little spiritual energy from you. but he didn't thought a HUMAN out of all thing to see HIM. he then would turn around due to the little voice being spoken to him from behind. he was shocked. scared and terrified even. he wasn't meant for anybody to see such a creature here. but the real question is..why wasn't this human seems to be scared of him.
then everything gone to ease suddenly when you said "what's that? that's so cool!" cool? COOL? humans..actually saw this as something cool?? and not threatening?? he was confused. he was a bit afraid this human it just trying to hurt him. what if this human is friend with a Shinigami? he then would lash out on you with the deepest voice you have ever heard "COOL HUH?! SO WHAT IF I JUST EAT YOU WITH THE POWER OF MINE HUH?! IS IT STILL COOL?!" it was a harsh sentence indeed. it sounds really threatening. but you still think it was a cool thing to have. a cool superpower if you say so yourself. you then replied with "I won't like that...but I still think your power is really cool!"
what? why isn't this human afraid of him? why are they complimenting his power? his threatening power? why? what's wrong with this human?! there's so many thoughts within his two heads under the white and long mask..panicked even. he don't even know what to do or say to the little fragile human anymore. he was speechless.
you really wanted to talk to him more but honestly..your hunger is eating you more and more so you rather go home soon and have some good delicious midnight food at your house. you wish you could talk to the strange tall figure in front of you again. but then you have to say bye to him and walk pass him.
god knows how he feel when you actually don't feel threatened by him. even walk pass him like that. he knows they weren't scared of him no more. he then tap the sky and goes through the black like hole..as he was in Hueco Mundo. he questioned why was this human so..friendly? why is he feeling some kind of warm feelings he can't explain? he WANTED this feelings to go away as soon as possible. he can't stand this feeling. he can't stand feeling great around a human who was..actually kind to him. it makes him look like a stupid tall weak idiot.
when is the next day he can't seems to get you out of his head. he can't seems to forget you. he can't seems to stop thinking about your pretty little kind voice that was spoken to him yesterday. god knows how much he wanted to go back to the world of living just to see you..but you would never ever wanted to see someone..or something like him in front of your door again would you? you do he get a little down when he remember that honestly..but what else can he do? the little human won't ever like seeing him again. god it would take him MONTHS to finally forget about you and go back to the world of living to get more hollows to eat.
in those tiring months. you were working. exhausted even. you waited every day for that tall figure to come back. you really really wanna know more about him. he was weird to you. yet wonderfully made and design. you don't know why he looks like that but he looks very unique and cool to you..
when he came back. at the same spot. the same fucking spot he saw you and you saw him. you wanted to keep him here for a little bit..at least to talk more with him. you know you were into weird things but you didn't know you would be into this..
the espada realize the same spiritual energy. the familiar little energy he knew. god know how much in panic he was. he then would turn around almost immediately to be face with you..the person that he can't seems to stop thinking about for months.
you remembered him. of course you do. how could you forget such a weird head with abnormal height like him? you then grab onto his arm to keep him and make him notice you. the tall figure got almost into a panic and get startled from..the soft touch of yours. the warmth of your hand grabbing onto his arm. god he wanna melt into your arm so much..but then he snapped back. he wanted to slap the filthy hand of human away..but the other thought is stopping him..he wanted to be touch more by this warmness of the human in front of him. why weren't you afraid of something like him? HELL why are you even grabbing onto him like a puppy that saw their owner after a long time. god he can't seems to leave you nor even move one bit.
you then ask the tall figure to stay with you for a while. stay with you? stay with a human? stay with someone who is kind to him? why and how would he say no to such a sweet little fragile thing like you? he then replied with the high pitched voice to say yes.
you were honestly surprise since the last time you remembered him you thought he have a deeper voice. but it was actually even more cooler to you than before. you drag him to sit down somewhere since both of you were on the street and you're afraid of both of you safety and afraid of one of them getting injured. having no clue that the tall figure isn't even a human nor was it alive..you proceeded to ask him questions..answer questions..and talk about your life. you feel weirdly safe around him. maybe is because you can't seems to stop getting attached to people easily.
the espada was surprised you aren't shooing him away. he's even more surprised you're talking to such thing like him. he asked a few questions but not too many because he was afraid he will make you annoyed of him..he don't know why was he scared. he doesn't know why he feel safe around you. you're like the sun to him at the moment..the sun that don't hurt him. the sun that appreciate him being here. the sun that he could look at without getting burn. ah..how he always wanted this.
you talked to him for a while. but you have to say goodbye soon. you still need rest for the other day for more tiring work. but now you might have something to look forward to..and that something is to meet and talk with this tall figure again..
when you say goodbye to him and said you wanted to see him again tomorrow. god he was..flustered and surprised and confused altogether. he was flustered with how someone is so kind to him and wanted to see him tomorrow. surprised with how something sweet and kind like you wanted to see him again. and confused with why would you wanted to see him tomorrow? why? it was a big question that stayed as he walked the way back to his palace. he was always alone in his palace so he have a tons of times to think of what and why is this human being kind to him. it really was a big confusion for a thing like him.
but then he actually came. to see you. he came because he trusted you. he feel like someone like you wouldn't wanted to betray him..right? he still have doubt in his head. but he can't seems to stop himself from keep coming to the world of living to see your face..and how you always smiled and welcomed him whenever he pay you a visit. he keep on coming again and again..he feel great you welcomed him.
after many months. he finally have found out..you have stolen his heart. since the first time you been kind to him. but..who he is to take his heart back? you taken it. is you. not anybody else. he would be more than happy to let you keep his heart.
