Hi! Long time reader here. I live for your Shuuhei and Kensei imagines but today I'm going to ask something about Ikkaku (because he's a babe and my gf loves him dearly). How would Ikkaku react if his crush (a new 11's member who he hasn't reached out yet) just approaches him and... asks him tips about how to do his/her eyeliner like Ikkaku? Thanks for your time <3 You are amazing.
An absolutely stellar request. <3
Ikkaku Madarame- I've always wondered about how Ikkaku started wearing eyeliner. I'm sure it had to do with his friendship with Yumichika. Ikkaku no doubt sees it as a form of war paint.- 'It's like the markings around the eyes of a big cat. It triggers a lizard-brain response - they see me, see the killing intent in my eyes, and they know they're gonna die.'- Of course, that doesn't prepare him for when an 11th Division whelp trots up to him to ask how to apply it. He's gotta give you credit - it takes guts to approach him unsummoned. Maybe it's just youthful bravado, but he likes it.- He's flattered. It always strokes his pride when someone comes to him for advice, like Renji begging Ikkaku to train with him back in the day. This is the first time he's been approached for fashion advice -that's normally Yumichika's field- but hey, he'll take it. - 'It's not make-up, kid. It's war paint. A snake's pattern, a tiger's stripes. It's a warning.'- He leans back against the wall, legs spread, posture loose and dominant and relaxed. He's a teacher, spreading his knowledge. He's got his red paint in a little pot he keeps in his pocket, same as the healing lotion he keeps in the hilt of Hozukimaru. He's the world's deadliest Boy Scout.- 'You've gotta figure out what works for you, kid. Don't just copy me, 'cause I'll beat your ass.'- He'll consider you his little protogee, provided you figure out your own look. Like he said to Renji, he doesn't want a straight-up copy-cat. Might even refer to you as "my apprentice".
