“I want to break up, ______.”
Those words of his rang over and over again in myhead as I ran farther away from the 6th division; ran away from him. Tears clouded over my vision as I tried to dodge people to make it back to the safety of my own division, and my own room. ‘Almost there…’ I thought, as I just kept running. Too bad I didn’t notice people in my way, until I had ran into them, falling back on my ass. I just sat there, hanging my head and crying, not caring anymore if people saw me cry or not.
“______?” My eyes widened, but I didn’t look up. I just kept my head down and cowered into my knees.
Shunsui
I was walking with Jushiro, getting lectured about drinking too much, when someone ran into me, causing me to stumble some more, and for the other person to fall down. I looked down, and my eyes widened. ‘_____?’ I thought, before I heard what
sounded like sniffles coming from behind (h/c) curtains. “_____?” I asked, and then my eyes widened at what she did next. Usually when I say her name, she looks up at me and smiles, greeting me back and walking off to help Jushiro with anything he needs, but this time she cowered. She cowered into her arms and now I could distinctly hear the sounds of sobbing. Looking at Jushiro, I saw that he looked worried. Looking at me, that was confirmed; he was worried about her. Frowning, I knelt down in front of _____ and put my hand under her chin, gently pulling her face up to look at me. My frown deepened when I saw the tears trailing down her face. I looked up at Jushiro. “Hey, you don’t mind if I borrow your lieutenant tonight, do you?” I asked him. He shook his head.
“I think she really needs someone right now. Someone who can fully be there for her, and with my condition, I don’t think I can do that for her…” he said, before he leaned down, smiled at ____, and got back up, before he started walking back to the 13th division. I sighed, looking down at _____, but then I looked up, hearing Jushiro stop. He looked back at the two of us with a frown. "Take care of her, Shunsui. I'm entrusting you with her." he whispered, before he turned back, walking away to his division. I nodded to his back, and looked back at _______, frowning at the tears in her eyes.
“_______, don’t worry. Everything’s going to be okay.” I said, picking her up bridal style and walking back to my division. I
sighed, feeling her wrap her arms around my neck and bury her face into it, frowning at the fact that she was still crying. What had happened to make her this upset? I sighed and cradled her while walking, soon making it back to my division. Walking through the 8th division, I was stared at by manyo f my subordinates, probably because I was actually sober for once, and every
time I looked at them, they would go back to what they were doing, and pretending that they didn’t gawk at me. I smiled lightly, re-adjusting _____ in my arms, as I walked into the main building, going to the room I had connected to the office. Not really paying attention to people in the building, I was stopped by the voice of Nanao.
“Captain… What are you doing? Why are you carrying ______ like that, and why is she crying? What did you do?” she asked, and I looked at her with a frown, which seemed to shock her, since her face showed it.
“I’m taking her to my room, to try and calm her down. I’m not sure why she’s crying. I didn’t do anything to her; she ran into
Jushiro and me earlier, crying her eyes out, though she wouldn’t tell us. I’ll let you know what happened when I figure it out myself.” I said, before I turned away from Nanao, and continued to walk to my room, the sounds of ______’s sobbing bouncing off the walls and echoing throughout the hallway, making my heart break. Looking back at Nanao one last time before turning the corner, I saw her staring at me with a worried look in her eyes, before she noticed me looking at her. Sending me a half-hearted glare, she walked off, but I could tell she wasn’t really mad at me for anything. Smiling slightly, I turned the corner, and, making it to my room, I pushed it open with my back, walking in and shutting it again with my foot. I walked over to my bed and set ______ down on it, before I leaned down to her level and smiled softly at her. “Sshh… It’s okay, ______... It’s okay. There’s nobody here except for me… What happened?” I whispered, and the moment she looked at me, I could tell something
was definitely wrong. It wasn’t something like a demotion or a broken nail, or whatever girls get upset about. She broke down again, and I frowned, standing up and pulling her up with me, before sitting on my bed, rocking her in my arms
slowly. Her breathing slowly went from labored to steady, and as I pulled her back, I cupped her face and wiped the tears gently away from her now red rimmed (e/c) orbs. She sniffled again, as she started hiccupping from the crying episode.
“R-R-R-en-j-ji… b-b-bro-oke u-u-u-p-p-p with m-m-me… f-f-for n-no r-r-reas-s-on-n…” she stuttered out, and my eyes widened.
‘What…’ I thought, as I pulled her to me, rubbing her back and resting my chin in her hair gently, as I continued to rock her. I glared at the door. ‘I’m going to kill him. He better have a damn good reason for doing this to her, and it better not have anything to do with Rukia Kuchiki, because if it does, then I’m going to go straight to Captain Kuchiki with this…’ I thought, as I felt _____ grip my haori, before she started to try and get her breathing to go back to normal. I sighed and started to hum
lightly, rubbing her back and lying down on my bed, with her resting on top of me. “Sshh… It’s alright, ______... I’m right here… I’m not going to leave you… Not like this… It’s okay, sweetheart…” I soothed, as she pulled away from me, but not budging from her spot.

“T-Thanks… Capta-” I started, as he shook his head. I looked at him sadly. ‘I guess he doesn’t even want me to use his title…’ I thought, as tears were starting to cloud my vision again.
“Shunsui. To you, it will always be Shunsui.” he said, as he pulled me closer to him and put his forehead on mine, smiling at me
gently. I felt my face getting hotter, but I smiled at him, sniffling and putting my head back on his chest, nuzzling into it, while snuggling under his chin.
“Thanks… Shunsui… I don’t know what would have happened if I didn’t run into you…” I whispered, and I really meant it. I don’t
know what would have happened if I ran into anyone other than him. Sure, if I had made it back to 13th division, I could have cried to Captain Ukitake about it, and he would have comforted me like Shunsui was right now, but, somehow, I feel like I wouldn’t feel better as fast if it was my captain comforting me. I sighed, feeling myself get tired. ‘Crying always makes me
tired… It never fails…’ I thought, as I felt my eyes droop down, as it became harder for me to keep my eyes open. Before I fell asleep, though, I felt myself being moved, and coming face to face with a pair of warm brown eyes.
“_____...” he said, before I felt soft lips on mine. My eyes widened, my face burned, and I fidgeted, but I didn’t move away from
him. His eyes were closed, and I could feel him smiling into it, as he stayed still.
‘He… He really cares about me…’ I realized, as my eyes softened, before closing and I kissed back, propping myself up on my arms, my fingertips moving up to ghost across his face, making me giggle when they glazed over the stubble on his chin. He smiled more, and when I felt his tongue move across my bottom lip, I didn’t hesitate to open my mouth, letting him in and explore everything. Smiling more, I pushed against his lips again, and he rolled over, to where I was lying on the bed, and he had one arm on the other side of me, boxing me into his arms. Breaking away for air, he looked down at me and smiled, kissing
my nose and my forehead, making me giggle again, as a smile made its way back onto my face.
“There she is. There’s the girl that I fell in love with.” He smiled, and my eyes widened. He loved me? I felt tears coming to my
eyes again, as I reached up my hands and stroked his cheeks, smiling a happy smile for the first time in the last couple days, blushing.
“Y-You love me…?” I asked, and he nodded, setting his forehead down on mine. “Why?” I asked, wondering what I could possibly have done to have someone as sweet as him love me. He chuckled.
“Do you really have to ask about that? I love you for you. From the (h/t)(h/l)(h/c) locks, to the beautiful (e/c) eyes and cute
button nose, all the way down to your toes. I love ______ _______. From the very first moment that I met her.” He whispered, and the tears fell down my cheeks, as I smiled up at him. His smile softened, and he used his thumb to wipe the tears away, before he kissed my cheek and pulled me closer to him. I happily snuggled into him. “Get some sleep, _____. Maybe a nap will make you feel better… I bet your eyes hurt right now…” he said, as I yawned and nodded, closing my eyes and falling asleep almost instantly.

I sighed in content as ______ fell asleep, and I felt her breath on my chest. Slowly moving away from her, I pulled the comforter from the bottom of the bed, and set it over her, tucking her in and making sure she was okay. I took my haori off, too, lying that by her side, so she knew I’d come back. “I’ll be right back, okay… I’ve got something that I need to take care of…” I whispered, kissing her forehead and walking out of the room quietly. I walked past the office I shared with Nanao, peeking my head in to see her doing paperwork. “Hey, Nanao.” I called, and she looked up at me.“Keep an eye on _____, would you? She’s sleeping right now, and I’ve got something I need to take care of…” I said, and she raised her eyebrow at me.
“Sure captain, but what happened?” she asked, and I sighed, walking into the room and leaning against the doorframe.
“Abarai happened. He broke up with her, and didn’t even give her a reason behind it.” I said, and her eyes widened, before they
narrowed.
“Okay… I’ll keep an eye on her. Just. Give him a good punch for me.” She said, and I laughed, nodding. She had always adored
_____, even if she didn’t make it seem that way when there were other people around.
“Will do, Nanao. I’ll see you later.” I said, smiling at her, before I pushed off the doorframe and walked out of the room. Waiting
until I was out of the building, I flash stepped to where I felt Abarai’s spiritual pressure. A bar came into view, and I sighed. If I wasn’t here to teach him a lesson in courtesy, I would stay for a drink. ‘Oh well. _______’s more important than getting a drink.’ I thought, nodding, and opening the door to the bar. All eyes automatically fell on me, and I frowned, before making my way over to the table that all the lieutenants were sitting at. They all looked at me, before Matsumoto smiled.
“Hi Captain Kyoraku! What brings you here today?” she asked, and I smiled lightly at her, before turning my glare to Abarai. I
could see everyone’s eyes widen out of the corner of my eye, but I didn’t care as I dragged him up from his seat, holding onto him by his collar and glaring at him.
“C-Captain Kyoraku?! What’s wro-” he asked, before I cut him off, glaring harder at him.
“There is a depressed lieutenant sleeping in my division right now, because someone broke her. Mind telling me why?” I growled, and everyone froze. Renji’s eyes widened, and he gulped, looking off to the side. “Answer me, Abarai. Or I will go straight to Captain Kuchiki about this.” I growled out, and he looked back at me, his eyes widening even more.
“N-No… No, you don’t need to do that… I-It just wasn’t working out… There’s no reason to go out with someone when that person likes somebody else…” he said, and I cocked an eyebrow at him.
“What do you mean?” I asked, as I let him go, crossing my arms and looking at him with acute curiosity in my eyes. He looked
at me.
“________ doesn’t love me. Sure, she said she did, but I know she doesn’t. There’s someone else that she loves, Captain, and I’m pretty sure that I don’t have to tell you who it is.” He said, and my eyes widened for a second, before they went back to normal, and I frowned at him.
“Well, that may be the case and all, but you still had no right to put her through that without so much as a reason why. Oh. And
one more thing. Nanao wanted me to give this to you…” I trailed off, and Renji looked at me. Smiling at him, I punched his square in his face, before I looked down at him on the ground. “Don’t talk to ______ again, unless she talks to you first, got it. Because if you make her cry again, you’ll have more to worry about than a couple punches.” I said, before I stood up again, looking at the other lieutenants and smiling. “Have a good day, the rest of you.” I said, and I turned around, walking out of the bar and flash stepping back to my division, into the main building, and back to my room, but stopping by my office. Looking in briefly, I caught Nanao’s eye, and I smiled, nodding. She sent me a small smile, before going back to doing what she was doing, and I walked back to my room, opening and closing the door quietly behind me. Going back to my bed, I took my haori, draping it over a chair and lying back down next to ______ under the comforter. Smiling softly at her sleeping form, I kissed her forehead again, bringing her closer to me and smiling against her forehead. “Sweet dreams, _____. I love you.” I whispered, falling asleep, feeling a small smile against my chest.
