Ikkaku Madarame - (Bleach) Oneshot
"Hey when are you gonna help us over here!"
"We've been waiting all day!"
"It's true what they say about the fourth squad, they really are useless."
You cower back at the three men standing before you.
"G-Gomen, i-if you guys will just come in one by one maybe I'll-" one of them shoved you, and you stumble, knocking into the wall with a small grunt. You were used to being pushed around by other squad members, it really wasn't anything new. But your shy nature made it far worse. If you were half a reaper Unohana was, you probably would have told them off.
"Just hurry up, will you, It's starting to ache!" he pointed to the bruise on his arm , and you picked yourself off the ground.
"I-I won't help if you're being mean about." you stuttered out. His eyes raised and he gave you a mean grin.
"Would you look at that, you really think you can get away with talking to us like that." you shuffled back into the wall.
Suddenly being brave sounded like a pretty dumb idea. You flinched, shutting your eyes when you saw his fist coming straight for you. After a few seconds, all you could hear was some punching sounds. Hesitantly, you opened your eyes. You were shocked at the bald headed reaper now standing there with a snarl on his face. All three men were on the floor unconscious. He turned to you with a wide smile, giving you a thumbs.
"Keh, I'll get rid of these idiots for you."
You flushed watching as he picked all three of them up like they weighed nothing.
"See ya later!" Just liked that he was gone, and you were standing there stunned.
"Madarame-san.."
He was one of the more decent reapers you'd met. Many said he was a brute, a violence loving psycho, but to you he was amazing. He'd made so many trips to the fourth squad you lost count, and the first time you healed him he was so nice to you. You nearly thought you dreamed it, because of all the rumors you assumed he would probably treat you like all the rest. After that he came by regularly. Always wearing a broad smile when he saw you. He never hesitated to stand up for you either, even against his own squad members. Hanataro walked in blinking at your dazed state. "(Y/N)-san are you alright?" he tilted his head, and you blushed.
"H-Hai!"
~~~
"My arms sure are sore. It was nice seeing Ichigo again though. " You smiled, packing up the remainder of bandages as you prepared to leave. The day was coming to an end. Between healing patients and almost getting caught in a battle with Ichigo and Kenpachi, you were exhausted.
Whenever Ichigo visited you expected the destruction. He cut through half of the Gotei squads just to get a hold of the Ichigo who inevitably just got away. It left a lot of collateral damage. That being the poor reapers who were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow (Y/N)-san!" Hanataro waved happily, taking off to his room and you smiled, watching him leave.
"Bye Hana-kun!!" you beamed.
"Why are you smiling like an idiot." you jumped at the voice behind you.
"M-M-Madarame-san!" He looked partially bored as he watched you. "I-I was just saying bye to my friend." you muttered. His presence never failed to make you flustered.
"W-What are you doing here?"
"I needed to get a little bit of gauze. That punk Ichigo kept running so Kenpachi went berserk. "
It was then that you noticed the large gash on his shoulder. There was blood running down his arm and your eyes widened. Despite the very prominent wound he looked completely unbothered.
"W-We need to get you healed up immediately!!" you freaked, taking his uninjured arm and running off in the direction of your quarters. Ikkaku didn't have a chance to refuse. Before you knew it he was at your door. You pulled him inside, sitting him down and shuffling into your cabinets to get a cloth and a bowl of water. When you had the needed materials. You made quick work of wiping off the blood. Ikkaku just sat there, watching as you worked so diligently to clean up his arm.
He had no idea why he had such a soft spot for you. He was never one to get in the middle of stupid scuffles, yet anytime he saw someone trying to take advantage of you, he found himself stepping in.
"When the hell did I become a lovestruck fool." he just closed his eyes, a bit embarrassed. If Yumichika saw him he'd surely laugh. Ikkaku wasn't one to get pushed around. He supposed though, if it was by you, he wouldn't even mind.
"Alright, I think I got all the blood." Now that the area was clean, it was a bit easier to see the wound. You placed the cloth down, raising your hands and healing the long gash. The entire time he just sat there quietly, letting you work. Your eyes shifted for a second from the green glow of your palms to the side of his face.
It was stupid to pretend you didn't care about him. For you, it was a little surprising that he even gave you the time of day. He was a well respected reaper. Strong, passionate, handsome.
In your eyes he was incredible. You on the other hand were the completely opposite. Your eyes lowered, nibbling on your lip. So taken by your own thoughts, you didn't realize that his wound had completely healed. Ikkaku's eyes opened when he could no longer feel the slight throbbing. His eyes moved in your direction, taking in the crestfallen look on your face.
"Hey what's wrong!! Are you hurt!" He grabbed your shoulders, startling you. He was right in front of you now.
"S-Shit, you've been healing people all day you must be exhausted! Why the heck didn't you say anything!" he seemed almost angry at the prospect that you might have overworked yourself. Your eyes shook, face immediately turning red. Ikkaku was confused at the reaction. You just looked away.
"I-I'm not tired I-I was just thinking. " you stammer. Ikkaku didn't quite believe it.
"Then why did you look so torn." you stared, wide eyed. "I may be a muscle head but I'm not stupid. Geez why is it so hard for you to just ask for help. You heal me all the time without asking for shit. The least I can do is make sure you're alright. If those dumbasses come again just let me know."
The tips of your ears were still pretty red, so you looked down nodding. Ikkaku wore a smile at your cute reaction, patting your head.
"You know, you shouldn't invite men into your room so recklessly, people might get the wrong idea." your eyes darted up, and you realized then that he was right. You acted so rash when you saw the injury, your body just reacted. You didn't even think about it. "I-I-It's nothing l-like t-that I just w-wanted to h-heal your wound!!!" you were waving your hands around crazily, and it just made Ikkaku chuckle.
"That's kind of harsh, is that really the only reason you brought me here."
"W-What.." Ikkaku moved closer, and it made you panic. You tried to get some distance, but it only made you fall unto your back. He smirked, leaning over and pinning your wrists to the floor. At this moment, you weren't sure if your heart was still functioning.
"W-WHAT ARE DOING!!"
The little confident smirk never left his lips, and you swallowed letting out a shaky breath.
"It seems a certain little reaper has sparked my interest, and I always follow through with my missions (Y/N)-san. " When he got closer your heart rate picked up. He didn't close the space, he was just looking at you, with a softness that you weren't used to.
"I'd like to protect you, no matter what it is tell me and I'll be there. Hell I'll fight the entire Gotei if I have to." this was far from what you expected, especially from him. Your eyes trembled, the tears starting to blur your vision. Ikkaku was a bit stunned at the bright smile you wore. "I love you Madarame-san." His heart gave a flutter, and he blushed despite himself.
"I..love you too." he murmured. You just giggled. He was being so bold just a minute ago. Those simple words and he was bashful. He still had you pressed to the floor, and you wanted nothing more than to kiss him.
So you did.
Leaning up, you captured his lip in a sweet kiss. His entire face colored, shocked by the bold move you made. With your chests so near, you feel his heart beat in rhythm with your own. Ikkaku's hold loosened around your wrists, and when he responded, you couldn't stop the shot of electricity that ran through your body. He rolled over, pulling you on top.
You didn't separate for a second, too caught up in the kiss. He was so gentle with you. His hands ran over your body. One settling at the back of your neck and the other gripping at the robes on your waist. Ikkaku nibble on your lower lip, and your brows knitted, unsure of how to proceed.
You had never been kissed like this. Ikkaku pulled back slightly, and your hands fisted into his robes, trying to catch your breath. He licked his lips seductively, and you had to close your eyes to keep in a moan. When you felt his hand on your ass you stammered.
"M-Madarame-san!" He grinned, giving it a squeeze, and you clenched your eyes shut, trembling.
"You like that don't you.." he whispered in your ear. It was irritating that even though you were the one on top, he remained in control. His other hand trailed down, giving the other cheek the same attention, and that point you were positive you couldn't hold back your sounds.
"You're secretly kinky huh (Y/N)-san, naughty girl." he whispered, nipping at your ear, and it really wasn't helping to calm down your heart. You let out a soft mewl, he didn't seem to be letting up. It was driving you over the edge. This time he closed the space, silencing you with a deep kiss.
He loved it, your responses, innocence. It excited him.
"Looks like I'll have to keep protecting you."
He guessed now he didn't mind if Yumichika found out.
Who would have imagined, this was how the day would go.
