Shunsui: Describe yourself in one word.

Starrk: Yours.

Shunsui: ...

Shunsui: That's so sweet. I thought you were going to say "depressed" or something like that.

Summary:

Coyote Starrk survives, crawling out of the sand only to drag himself into a new, longer war. During those twelve years, the world ends. Hueco Mundo dissolves into nothingness. Seireitei breaks like a pane of glass. The living world rots. The soul throne is empty, and unprocessed souls clog the air, unable to cycle back into reality. He gets sent back against his will. But he stands in a Seireitei the Winter War has not yet touched, and if there is one thing he has learned from Kyoraku Shunsui, it is that once you join a war you fight with everything you have until it is over.

Shunsui, three weeks into dating Starrk: You know, you have a strange way of showing affection.

Shunsui: ....I love you too.

Shunsui: I didn't drink that much last night.

Ukitake: You were flirting with Starrk.

Shunsui: So what? He is my partner.

Ukitake: You asked if he was single.

Ukitake: And then you cried like a baby when he said he wasn't.

Ukitake: The moon looks beautiful, doesn’t it?

Shunsui, looking at Ukitake: Yeah… but do you know what’s more beautiful?

Shunsui and Ukitake in unison: *sighs* Starrk...
