☽ Yes, there's violence in this gaze. A love that is experienced violently, passionately. A love that devours and that makes you overcome anything.
Surprised by the fact Renji would bring up their last fun time, the lanky espada just tilts his head slightly to the side, his sole snaky eye still riveted to his soulmate.
Everything about the Praying Mantis, from his gaze, his traits, to the way he looks, screams violence. But those thin lips just deliver the sweetest words out of the blue :
"Lookin' at ya... just makes me feel happy."
Perhaps the most heartful, efficient, simplest way of saying "I love you". The kind of spontaneous confession you could only ever make to someone you feel absolutely safe with. And that's the case. Nnoitra might be paranoid and scared of the entire world to the point he'd murder it all, destroy it all, hoping to find some peace for a second, but he does feel safe and loved around Renji. Seeing him would elicit this sweet feeling of peace, something the Quinta had never known before. Finally being able to let down his guard around someone, to show up without having to put his armor on. ☾
