“Ack— alright! Alright! I tap out! A-Again, goddamnit..”

Renji winced as you dug your heel into his back, tapping on the tatami mat below him to finally yield and request mercy.

“Damnit, man.. you’re a real killer, y’know that?”

Despite the discomfort and pain he was in from the tough training with you, he flipped on his back and chuckled up at you, his eyes holding a bit of admiration and— adoration..

Renji knew better than to fall in love with his Captain’s little sibling.. but damnit, how could he resist you?

Renji sat up with a tired huff, and smiled up at you. he couldn’t help but absolutely adore you. you were quick on your feet and incredibly combat smart.

you are amazing practice when it comes to hands-on combat. whenever anyone needed training or some practice, they automatically came to you.

“I think.. I think I’m finally tuckered out today, Y’know. i.. we can take a break from training." Renji spoke lightly as he went backwards, laying back on the mat for a breather.

Even though he was laying on the ground, all puffed out, Renji watched you from the corner of his eye. He watched as he took off the bandages around your hands.
