Requested: No, personally wanted to write angsty fluff using the phrases: My first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost. && I never realized how much I needed you until you weren't there.
Summary; You distance yourself from Ichigo in hopes your absence will go unnoticed when you're taken to Hueco Mundo... Ichigo's more perceptive than anyone gives him credit for and rescues both you and Orihime.
CW: implied that reader has been stalked by Aizen; kidnapped to Hueco Mundo; tiny confrontation with Uryu; Ichigo worrying; Ichigo is hurt but what else is new
Tears streamed down your face as you ran over to him, the man who had come to your rescue despite everything...
You had known that Sosuke Aizen had planned to kidnap you at some point... It was not a matter of if but when.
You had accepted that fact long before it happened...
You had accepted that when you went to help Ichigo rescue Rukia that he would see you... And you already knew whatever he was planning was not good. As soon as he showed his true colors to everyone... you knew it was only a matter of time before he was going to come and find you.
When you returned to the World of the Living, you had said goodbye to Ichigo and his friends, and had made a silent vow to yourself. You didn't want to drag them into anything, so you would begin to distance yourself from the others.
You saw them less and less, you basically dropped off the face of the Earth... However, unlike Rukia, though, you didn't just suddenly disappear from their memories.
It came as no surprise to you when strange hollow like men came to take you. This was the first time you had met any arrancars, and likely the first time they had come over to the World of the Living. You had accepted that this was going to happen and that there was nothing you could do to fight against it.
Fate had a funny way of reminding you of what you had left behind... Orihime at some point had been brought to Hueco Mundo and that was when you knew Ichigo would come to save her.
How would you be able to explain to him just why you were here? What would he say?
... Would he give you that famous scowl and tell you how stupid you had been for running off on your own?
The thought made you giggle to yourself, but it made your heart ache...
────────────────────────────────────
"The hell do you mean you haven't seen them since we got back?!" Ichigo growled as he gripped onto Uryū's shirt, leering down at him.
"I said they haven't been in class or clubs since we got back from the Soul Society. I don't have their number, so I can't contact them... I would think you would've heard from them, Ichigo."
"I..." His grip loosened as he began to think over the days since their return. He remembered saying goodbye to you... He remembered saying he would see you later... And... Then, what? His thoughts were racing through every face he had seen since then and none of them were yours. Not a single one.
"I gotta go," he spat out, letting go of the other's shirt and running off. He had to see you. How did he manage to let the days go past without noticing?! His jaw clenched, hands balling into fists and speeding up into a sprint towards your home. You were okay... You had to be okay.
The thoughts of you being hurt or dead made his chest ache and only made him go faster. Once he arrived, he quickly searched for the spare key you had. In his haste, he nearly dropped it before managing to get it into the key hole and slam open the door. He called out your name, looking everywhere within your home.
He was just overreacting, right? You would be in your room, curled up with your computer or a book and peek your head up at him... Looking confused why he sounded so frantic... Right? You had to. His hand shook as he reached for the doorknob of your bedroom, twisting it and pushing the door open.
But you weren't there.
His lower lip trembled as he looked around your room. The bed was made and honestly it looked like no one had been in there for... Well, it definitely looked like you hadn't been home much since your return. He gritted his teeth and slammed the side of his fist into the door frame.
"Damnit!"
Unfortunately, he didn't have time to even begin thinking about where you could be or what could have happened to you... The arrancars soon came down and he was thoroughly defeated. Then they came back and took Orihime with them.
As he was preparing to head to Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihime, something hit him. He remembered his conversation with Grimmjow during their last interaction.
"Hah! You're so dense, Kurosaki! All these people and none of you even noticed we've already taken one of your pals!"
His eyes grew wide at the realization, feeling like he was hit with a train.
"He wasn't talking about Orihime! Son of a-"
────────────────────────────────────
"You're such an idiot, Ichigo! You didn't have to do that," you sobbed out as you fell into the sands before him. He had gotten badly hurt during his fights... And naturally you blamed yourself.
"Heh, but I did... My first instinct is to protect you, no matter the cost." He explained, smiling up at you as Orihime began to heal him.
"That's stupid and you know it!" You whined out in protest, feeling a bit better now that he was starting to get healed. "I'm not-"
"Hey, none of that. You are such an important person in my life," he spoke softly and reached up to wipe your tears away. "I never realized how much I needed you until you weren't there..."
"D... Don't say weird stuff like that!" You huffed, cheeks growing warm with embarrassment. Despite that, you never tried to move his hand from your cheek.
"I mean it... It took me way too long, but, I love you."
"Y-... You're just dizzy from blood loss! Stop saying weird things when you're so hurt!" You could feel the steam coming out of your ears, heart racing and trying to turn situation to have less of a focus on yourself.
"Hey! I am not! I've been thinking about this since the day I realized you were gone! It's taken me way too long to realize it, but you know me... I'm not always the best with these sorts of things. I'm just happy I can see you again and tell you how I feel."
Before you had a chance to say anything, he had gently pulled you forward until your lips met with his. It was gentle and sweet and left you absolutely breathless. When he pulled back, forehead resting against yours and his hand still cupping your cheek, you felt a soft sigh leave your lips.
"You're so stupid... and reckless... and I love you too, Ichigo."
"Great, wanna go on a date after we defeat Aizen?"
He stared at you with a confused look for a moment, watching as you just began to laugh at his silliness. His expression soon changed to a soft smile, knowing just how ridiculous he was being. It was the first time in a while he had gotten to see your smile... so he didn't mind you laughing at him.
One would expect this man to be over the top with his proposal, but you would be surprised to find out it's nothing like you would expect.
Even before becoming head captain, this still held true.
While he believes the world should know how special you are to him, he also wants certain things to be more personal and private.
He can shout how he feels for you to the high heavens, but he wants special occasions to be just between the two of you-- maybe a small group of friends and family at largest.
It would likely happen some quiet evening in the middle of winter when the snow is gently coming down just outside...
The two of you were snuggled up together next to a gently roaring fire.
You didn't need a blanket with how warm he was as he had his arms wrapped around you.
You were starting to lull off into a very soft slumber, struggling to stay awake between the comfort of you boyfriend and the warmth between him and the fire.
He had thought a lot about when and where he should ask you, but the way you looked snuggled up into his chest?
He couldn't stand it.
You were so cute and you looked so perfect there with him...
"Hey, sorry to wake you, but I wanna ask you something," he spoke gently, waking you from your faint slumber.
"Mmf? Wha's up?" You'd slur out, eyes not even managing to open at first.
It was when he didn't immediately respond that you would open your eyes, blinking slowly and looking at him.
"Will you marry me?"
A mix of something between a squeak and a gasp escaped you, his question definitely waking you up.
"I-" your brain was going faster than you could verbally reply-- but his calm demeanor helped relax you enough to manage the simplest and yet most important reply you could give him, "yes"
Suì-Fēng
She thinks she's being secretive about her plans to propose, but she's sorely mistaken.
Maybe in regards to you
However, her entire squad and the stealth force absolutely know.
In fact, they would be doing whatever they could to try to give her hints.
"Oh, yeah, Captain! I got a new ring from-" not very subtle, but he does like to wear jewelry and the ring doesn't look awful-
Maybe of the members would have casual 'conversations' while conveniently walking past her.
"The cherry blossom trees are beautiful in-" "There's a fireworks festival this weekend-"
The squad knew you well enough to know how to suggest things they thought you might like.
She's a bit too caught up in the moment to fully notice what they're doing...
When she does propose, she chose your favorite time of year or favorite holiday.
It doesn't matter how tall you are, she would position herself so she could wrap her arms around your shoulders from behind.
She would pull a cute little box out in front of your face and simply asks if you'll be hers.
You're shocked for a moment, but gladly accept and turn around to kiss her happily.
Some time after she finally proposed... She realized just what her squad had done.
She's a little annoyed but doesn't punish anyone so long as they don't bring it up. Omaeda.
Shinji Hirako
Okay... This man is so in love with you it's absolutely fucking ridiculous.
He has imagined and daydreamed about how he might propose to you and how your wedding might go...
It's always the same in his mind so he has idea of a perfect proposal and the most wonderful wedding and...
Something always seems to happen.
It could be big or small, but he just has never been able to get the timing right!
He had it all planned out, he had a ring, he had a spot, even down to what season he wanted it to happen in!
It would have been a beautiful little day together where he would propose at sunset! Or sunrise! That all depended on what happened 😉
Nevertheless!
Every. Single. Time! Bad weather, you were busy! He was sick! He had duties! There was a war going on!
So, when it finally does happen... It's not exactly the most romantic extravagant over the top proposal...
But it's extremely fitting for Shinji.
You had just woken up, the smell of food enticing you towards the kitchen to eat.
He was sitting there with a cup of tea, watching as you stumbled towards the table with your eyes barely open and hair an absolute mess.
To him; this scene was just pure perfection. It was so domestic... It filled him with warmth.
"We should get married," he would blurt out, smiling at you.
"W... Wha? I, wha?" You were so shocked you had dropped your piece of toast, whining as it fell buttered side down onto the floor. "Shinji... It's too early for jokes," you would grumble; now upset you had accidentally wasted food.
"I'm not joking," he would grin and pull out a little pristine box he had been carrying since the day he bought it.
He would sweetly say your name and open the box to show you the ring, his usual grin soon spreading over his features. "Will you make me the 3rd happiest man in Connecticut and marry me?"
"We're not in Connecticut!!!" You would exclaim through laughter, wiping the tears from your eyes. "Yes, stupid... You're also banned from the Internet."
"Hey, you know you love me~ and it made you giggle, so it's not all that bad." He would wrap his arms around you, cheek pressed against yours and gently putting the ring on.
You both made up a story about what happened because you didn't want to have to explain the layers of his stupid proposal. (You both think back on it fondly, though.)
Byakuya Kuchiki
One may think it would take him a while to propose, but that would be quite the opposite of the truth.
What takes him a while is allowing himself to open up to you enough to realize he has feelings for you...
He guards his emotions carefully, especially after the death of Hisana...
But when he's in a relationship with you?
He genuinely cherishes the idea of being called your husband.
He would tell you that when you are ready and feel comfortable with the idea, he would be honored to marry you.
He tells you this up front since it's taken him so long to even accept the relationship, so he already knows he can see himself being with you for the rest of his life.
Because of this, you don't get the whole 'surprise proposal', but you do get to do a lot of things together.
When you admit that the idea of marriage sounds like something you'd like, he takes you to get rings with him.
Though he's used to a more traditional Japanese style wedding, he is open to hearing your thoughts.
He likely puts in more work than you do planning, mostly because he wants to make it perfect for you.
A big extravagant wedding? Done.
A small wedding with only the closest friends and family? That's perfect too.
He wants you to be happy, since he's already decided a while ago that he wants to repay the happiness you've given him tenfold.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi
He is an interesting one to say the least.
His way of proposing is far from straight forward and even those closest to him who understand him might not see it as such.
Of course, being his partner means he comes to you with complaints about his subordinates or how his research isn't going the way he wants...
That's not unusual.
What is unusual, is how he gives you random little strange gifts.
Well, one wouldn't call them gifts so much...
You'll notice something interesting on his table and make a comment about it.
He'll tell you it was something from a failed experiment and they if you wanted it you could have it.
There was no experiment.
He got it because he knew you'd like it.
He can't say that though, right?
Anyway, through some long winded convoluted explanation you would end up with a ring.
You would end up unintentionally giving him answers to all the important wedding planning stuff and you wouldn't even know it.
You end up finding out because you snuck into his office one day to surprise him with something and you saw his calendar.
It definitely came as a mild shock at first, but somehow you weren't entirely surprised.
Instead you decided to continue to act oblivious up to the day of the wedding. You had to have some fun with it!
Rukia Kuchiki
Rukia's way of proposing is absolutely adorable and definitely reflects a lot of her personality.
It takes her a bit to decide on the best course of action...
She has been gathering all the important information she would need over the years, after all.
She knows your ring size, your clothing size, your shoe size, your favorite color-- the works!
So, the most important part of everything is the how she does it.
She decided on a date: whatever winter holiday is your favorite.
It just so happened to be snowing that day, which she thought was absolutely perfect.
Whether it was a gift giving holiday or not: she got you one and had it wrapped nicely!
When you opened it, it was a pair of stuffed animals hugging.
One was a rabbit and the other was your favorite animal!
They were velcroed in a way that they could come apart, and when you pulled them apart to see, a small box fell out from between them.
Rukia would kneel down and pick up the box, gently holding it up to you before opening it.
"Will you marry me?"
You said yes, but you also laughed and cried. It was so cute you couldn't help it.
This man might have rizz, but he can also become a bumbling idiot when it comes to you
His issue? His charisma comes from not having a direct attachment.
Or already having them in his grip.
If you're a stranger or his partner? Man is the rizz master.
Are you teetering on that line where he's starting to catch feelings for you?
Fuck, suddenly he can't speak-
The fucking second he starts seeing you as a little more than a friend he's flirting with he knows he's gonna make a fool of himself.
He is also torn between wanting to be near you all the time and wanting to avoid you to not look like an idiot.
He ends up stuttering a lot, might even forget words, and if you smile and/or giggle at him? He forgets to breathe.
He's absolutely smitten and it's probably obvious to everyone but you...
Though, it means you get to see him being a flustered mess a little longer.
He's already learned a lot about you with his previous flirting, but he will try to learn absolutely everything.
He keeps a small notebook on him to write things down; even uses notes on his phone and what not.
Maybe you told him about a cloud that reminded you of your favorite animal; suddenly you'll get a stuffed version of that.
Maybe you tell him you love a flower in a field; bouquet for you.
Might even note it as your favorite color and get you small gifts in that color.
Eventually you'll start to notice he's paying a bit lot more than any of the others he spends time with...
You notice he hasn't flirted with you in... A while, which did upset you a bit but you were glad with the different type of attention...
Oh! OH
"Hey, Shinji? I like you too." It was just a simple kiss on the cheek, but Shinji's face lit up like a Christmas tree.
It took a lot of courage to say it, but you knew it would take him a while to get the words out.
Aaaannnnnndddd suddenly Shinji is back.
"Naturally, knew y'couldn resist~"
"Says the one who was stuttering earlier."
"Ya can't blame me if everythin' ya do takes my breath away~"
"S... Shut up!"
The gift giving only gets worse after you've both confessed.
He likes taking you on dates; every kind of date. He might complain about hiking dates , but he'll do it for you.
He was the one who initiated the first kiss.
It was probably spur of the moment and maybe not too romantic in your head...
But, when he saw you sitting there... Engrossed in something he'd seen you do a thousand times before...
It just hit him. It was different this time. The two of you were dating and he could finally show you just how adorable he found your every little thing.
Even this.
He'd walk over like "babe?" getting a mumbled "uh-huh?" before he cupped your cheeks and planted a breath taking kiss on you.
You'd only be able to stare at him dazedly as he walked away with a grin and not bothering to explain.
Takes place during his captain years. No gender specified; not specifically stated that reader is a soul reaper or not; Sosuke is reader's husband; not proof read forgive me
His marriage to you was more for convenience sake, helping fluff up his reputation as a soft and caring captain, but... Sometimes it seemed like more.
It was a rare occasion where you had awoken before your husband, Sosuke Aizen current captain of Squad 5. He was always so busy with his work that he didn't often have time to sleep in or relax much... So you were surprised to see him still deep asleep when you awoke.
This was great, though! You and always wanted to surprise him with breakfast in bed and now you had the opportunity to do so! A silent giggle buzzed in the back of your throat, sneaking away from your shared room and into the kitchen. You knew better than to make anything too complicated-- he wasn't particularly a heavy sleeper and that meant he would be awake before you could finish an elaborate meal...
You proceeded to work as quickly and quietly as you could manage, enjoying the smells that came from the cooked food.
In your room, Sosuke had finally awoken and was sitting up in bed. His hair was a mess and his eyes were still closed, clearly a sign that he was definitely not ready to be dealing with anyone yet. Despite what sleep he got, he felt as if he had gotten none of it. It was no different than laying down to sleep and immediately sitting up. A small quiet groan escaped him, using his fingers to tame the bed head even a little bit.
It was about that time he noticed that you weren't in bed currently, causing him to raise his brow slightly. It showed how bad his sleep had been since he hadn't even stirred when you apparently woke up and left. Your side of the bed was cold from your absence and that's how he knew you had been gone for quite a bit. He sighed and reached for his glasses, getting up and looking for you. That was the normal thing for a spouse to do, right?
That was when he found you putting the finishing touches on breakfast you had tried to surprise him with. He blinked slowly, surprised to find you working so hard on something so simple. It wasn't the fact you were cooking for him, in fact you did that quite often, it more the fact you went so far out of your way to do something for him. To him, it felt pointless to work so hard on something that would be gone within minutes... But that was because he was always looking at things practically or in the sense of how it could further his future plans.
"Good morning," he would call out with your name, giving his usual smile. "I hope you weren't waiting long for me." He knew you had just finished... Still, he had appearances to keep up. He hadn't seen the point or need to use his Kyoka Suigetsu on you, so he just took extra precautions when playing the loving husband.
"Eek! Oh! Sosuke, you scared me!" You whined softly and turned towards him, smiling awkwardly. "I was going to bring it to you... I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed for your birthday!"
Blink.
"Oh, it's my birthday, isn't it?" He had genuinely forgotten with all the work and secret planning he had to do.
"Yes! Silly! Well, I guess I can't surprise you with breakfast, but I'm sure my present will surprise you!"
"You didn't need to do that..." He would smile softly at you, gently petting your hair down. He proceeded to help you take the food to the table, sitting down and eating with you. At least now he understood why people were acting a bit strange around him in the last week or so. They were likely talking about what they should get him as a birthday present...
He had been so in thought about how he would have to proceed with interactions for the rest of the day that he hadn't noticed you put a small box in front of him. "What is this?" he would ask when he finally noticed it.
"It's your birthday present! I know it's not exactly the biggest or the most extravagant, but... I hope you like it." You smiled sweetly, excited for him to open it.
"I don't know how many times I've told you that you don't need to get me presents, but I appreciate it," he would explain with a small smile. He would carefully peel off the wrapping paper and open the small box to find a necklace inside. It was a simple silver chain with two charms hanging from it; the two being astrological signs. He blinked quietly for a moment, looking up at you.
"There are two?" He held the necklace up, showing off the fact it had the two charms on it.
"Yes!" You chirped out happily, smiling softly. "One... Is for your sign and the other is mine," you explained, looking away with slight embarrassment.
It was genuinely a very sweet gesture. He glanced at it more carefully for a bit longer, unsure what to call the emotion that had stirred inside of him. Instead of dwelling on it, he merely thanked you and put the necklace on quietly. Your eyes practically sparkled when he put it on, happy that he enjoyed your gift.
Your reaction solidified to him that he had made the right choice as your loving husband.
----
Unknown to you, no one had ever gotten to see the necklace you had worked so hard to pick out for him. He had made the conscious decision to hide that from his peers who had been under the effects of Kyoka Suigetsu.
One regret he had come to realize he had... was leaving you behind. He knew you would disagree with his plans, so he had no choice... And, at the time, he believed he was only with you for the fake image he had created for himself...
Yet, there he sat, in his throne in Las Noches, looking at the necklace you had gotten for him so long ago. His own little private treasure he refused to share with the world. Between the two zodiac symbols was now his wedding ring, showing the life he took for granted when he had it.
Perhaps should your fates align in the right way once more, he would tell you exactly how much you meant to him. Perhaps.
It's a bit funny how long it would take the two of you to realize you liked each other.
He was oblivious to your feelings and had to keep his >:( persona, even if way too many people could see through that.
You? You had a number of reasons why he couldn't possibly like you.
One major reason was you were sure he liked Rukia or Orihime...
Maybe even Chad or Uryū...
But you? Nah, no way.
You figured you weren't his type; weren't good looking enough; weren't strong enough; didn't have the right kind of personality...
The possibility list was long.
Everyone around the two of you knew though.
It was so obvious to them that it would become almost painful to see how you both just barely avoided confessing or slipping up so freaking often.
You had buried your feelings for Ichigo so far down that you didn't notice the tiny ways he was unconsciously flirting with you.
He would go out of his way to give you little compliments... Sure he didn't shower you in them, but he gave you at least one every time he saw you.
He would bring an extra umbrella in case you forgot yours on days everyone was hanging out...
Or go one step further to just walk you home. He'd come up with some excuse as why he had to go that way anyway, but he really just wanted to spend more time with you.
It wouldn't be until he complimented you very bluntly that you would even entertain the idea of him flirting with you.
"Ichigo, if you say things like that, you're going to give me the wrong idea about us," you'd laugh awkwardly.
"And what idea might that be?" He's just staring at you with that soft smile on his face, knowing he'll finally get you to see his feelings soon.
"T... That you're flirting with me, which can't be true because why would you like me? There's-"
"But I am flirting with you."
He would wait exactly ten seconds to watch your reaction, laugh softly, then explain a number of reasons why he likes you.
He would gently take your hand in his as he explains, squeezing it now and again.
When he was done and your brain had fully wrapped around the idea that your crush likes you back...
You'd jump into his arms to hug him and give him a big kiss.
You're both a little shocked by this, but neither of you are willing to pull away yet...
You end up just spending the afternoon talking with him and about how to move forward.
You agreed that you've both been pining for too long to not call him your boyfriend.
He'll call you whatever makes you happy; he's just happy to finally be dating you.
The rest of the afternoon is spent just laying around and talking about anything and everything.
It feels like there's a slight barrier that's been lifted now that you've both confessed and it just makes it that much easier to open up to one another about everything else.
Hihi how would byakuya act around an s/o that looked just like hisana
Byakuya Kuchiki
Depending on when he first meets you, he might very well be in shock
He is typically fairly composed, but he may believe he is hallucinating at first...
Once that settles, he begins to grow curious.
Rukia looking like Hisana made sense... But why did you?
Perhaps you were related but she hadn't known?
It drives him to want to learn more about you and your past.
Before long, that simple curiousity has turned into feelings for you.
No, you weren't Hisana and you would never replace her in his heart; but that did not mean he couldn't love you just as he did his late wife.
It's actually really cute because Rukia has found him speaking to Hisana's picture about you.
This was before you became a couple and she will keep the fact she saw him a secret she takes to the grave... But not me, I'm a bully.
Please be patient with this man. If he does something with you that he and Hisana enjoyed-- he's not trying to imply you are her or that he assumes you'll like the same things...
To him, it's sharing his past with you and opening up about himself.
Plus, you must give him credit where credit is due:
He has not once called you Hisana while you've been together.
At first he had to make a conscious effort, but eventually your name began flowing from his lips much easier than he had expected.
He does love sharing things with you about his past, and oftentimes that does include his married life with Hisana.
It's actually quite endearing since you can see it's like him building a bridge to connect his past with his present.
Naturally, you found the most inopportune time for him to do this.
He had been at his desk, studying or reading you weren't entirely sure.
He was so deep into whatever it was he was doing, he didn't notice you calling his name!
So, it only made sense to go over, plop yourself on his lap, and gently nuzzle your nose against his.
If he didn't hear you, he would definitely see you!
And see you he did, blinking quickly as if coming out of some trance.
"Everything alright, my heart?" He would ask, only slightly worried that something might be wrong.
"No... I just missed you," you would whine softly and look up at him with big eyes.
"... Alright, alright... Let me finish up and I'll take a break. We can watch a movie and order something to eat. How's that sound?"
"Sounds perfect!" You would cheer and lean up to kiss him gently, smiling brightly. "Okay, I'll be waiting for you on the couch."
"it shouldn't take more than a half hour," he explained and watched as you left.
"You're such a brat, but I wouldn't want it any other way." He would muse to himself, smiling.
Shinji Hirako
It doesn't really matter what point in time this is done...
He would usually be busy whenever you decided to bother him.
His brows would be knitted together, staring at something with frustration etched on his features.
He was so engrossed in what he was doing that he didn't even notice you enter the room.
He wouldn't notice as you quietly crept your way over to him, smiling to yourself.
You knew how focused he was and you knew even if you screamed your way from the door to where he was-- he wouldn't notice.
But, you knew your little surprises always made him smile.
This time was no different.
His vision would be obscured by your face, feeling your nose gently brush against his own.
"Wha'cha doin', doll?" He would blink a couple of times as the question came out like an automatic response, soon grinning and wrapping his arms around you.
"Lemme guess, y'missed me?" His grin would turn into a smirk as you melted in his touch, enjoying the closeness.
"Maaaaybe," you'd drawl out and look at him with big eyes.
"Okay, okay... I can take a hint," he said and kissed your forehead.
You needed him, so you would get him.
You'd be his entire focus for the rest of the night.
Sosuke Aizen
Here we'll be talking strictly of Sosuke in Las Noches. Why? Lieutenant/Captain will be another area
So, needless to say, he is a very greedy man of sorts.
He doesn't like the arrancars so much as looking at you to begin with, but he never expressed it to you directly...
But, you're not stupid, you would eventually notice that no one seemed to bat an eye when you pranced by during important meetings!
So, you would take advantage of him using his Kyoka Suigetsu to keep others from so much as seeing you to go over to him where he sat on his throne... And sit in his lap!
Who cares if there were others around? You knew they couldn't see you.
You would proceed to gently nuzzle your nose against his, looking up at him oh so innocently.
"What do you want?"
"You're always up here on your throne... I get lonely when you're home," you'd whine and push out your bottom lip into a pout.
"Alright, alright, I will join you for some quality time, then." He would stand up from his throne and smirk down at you. "You're lucky no one can see you."
Now that he had proven he was using his powers, it was your turn to smirk at him.
"No, my dear Sosuke, you're lucky... I would cause much more chaos if they could see me."
He chuckled and watched you quietly, soon following after you, "that I do not doubt."
Isshin Kurosaki
If he's not in the middle of a literal sword fight or medical work, he will absolutely grin like an idiot.
You can't really surprise him because the second you're nearby he's just happy to see you.
He'll give you bunny kisses back!
He, actually, is usually the one to give surprise bunny kisses!
It started one year when he tried to do Easter for the girls, but found it wasn't really going well...
What with it not really being big in Japan and all...
Anyway, he was dressed up in a stupid rabbit costume and he had leaned down to try and kiss you but ended up nuzzling his nose against yours
(he blamed the costume)
He absolutely loved the way your face lit up and you giggled out with a fake gasp "bunny kisses?!"
It became a regular thing after that.
Bunny kisses happen more often than regular kisses.
Partially because his kids will moan and groan about how it's gross he's kissing someone-
That doesn't stop kisses all together, it just increased the amount of bunny kisses you both share!
Plus, if surprise bunny kisses make you laugh that's a bonus in his book.
Rukia Kuchiki
Surprising Rukia with bunny kisses happens one of two ways:
You call her name and after she's turned to look in your direction, you surprise her!
Or, you go up to her and hold the cutest stuffed animal in your arms, present it to her...
Then attack! Bunny kisses!
It honestly doesn't matter how often it happens, she's always going to smile and laugh at your actions.
While she can't give them very often, she absolutely loves receiving them.
She loves the way you always seem so happy when you do it
Plus the affection behind it all
It's just so cute to her.
She always kisses you afterwards.
Orihime Inoue
You absolutely never fail to surprise Orihime with your bunny kisses.
It's not terribly hard to surprise her when she's not in battle (focused), but she delights in it every time.
Her eyes get wide before sparkling and she nuzzles your nose back.
She'll giggle and bring up a different time this happened that might be similar
Then she goes rambling about what the two of you were doing that day!
It's fun since you always know she will end up smiling and giggling afterwards
It even works when she's upset!
Which is probably when she needs them the most :(
She will also try to surprise you, but it's a bit harder to surprise you darn it!
She also follows suit on trying to cheer you up with bunny kisses when your sad...
They work on her, they must work on you! Right?
It's the thought that makes you smile, but you'll let her have her win.
Renji Abarai
It's not impossible, but it is hard to surprise this man.
When he's not sleeping, he's usually on duty and on guard.
That doesn't mean there aren't times you can't surprise him!
You could run at him while he's holding something and he would drop everything if you wanted him to catch him.
Don't do it too often though, it might be important what he's got 😭
While you can catch him when he's eating, the best time is usually when he's waking up.
You have those small noticable signs of him waking up, the shifting to lie on his back-- his hand scratching some part of his body, maybe even a groan at how bright it is.
It doesn't matter if it was sleep or a nap, it's usually the same.
You would tip toe your way over to him, kneeling down beside him with your face close to his.
His eyes would open at the sudden darkness protecting his face from the light, groggily looking up to see what it was.
"Morning, sleepyhead," you would proceed to give him bunny kisses!
No matter how often it happens, his face always burns with slight embarrassment as he mentally absorbs the situation.
"Grr, c'mere you," he always growls and grabs you to drag you down into the covers with him.
It almost always ends in a snuggle session and has caused him to be late on a number of occasions... But neither of you are complaining.
Yoruichi Shihoin
It is difficult to sneak up on Yoruichi...
But she'll pretend to be surprised by your sudden appearance.
Don't be fooled, though, her arms will wrap around you and she'll grin.
She will nuzzle her own nose back against yours and enjoy your giggling.
Now, she often will sneak up on your and nuzzle her nose against yours unexpectedly.
She'll also just randomly pounce on you in a big hug.
She enjoys doing things that make you giggle, even if she is just mock surprised.
Byakuya Kuchiki
Under normal circumstances it isn't easy to sneak up on Byakuya...
But since you're his significant other, he will let his guard down around you.
Thus, he has made himself an easy target for you to sneak up on him.
It usually happens when he's deep in thought, no matter where that happens to be.
His office when he's doing paperwork...
When he's at home thinking deeply about something...
Perhaps recovering after a battle...
You can just tip toe up to him and gently nuzzle your nose against his.
It never crashes to make him stop and blink, looking up at you with a gentle smile.
He will lean up and gently kiss you all over your face.
He adores your little bunny kiss surprise, so he never complains...
Just try not to do it in public or he'll be a blushing mess.
