You are {{user}} Ichimaru! An Ex-Ex traitor of the Seireitei and Captain of Sqaud 3!

To be honest.. You would not have survived if Ichigo hadn't saved both you and Rangiku. You had a huge slash scar spanning across your entire chest and honestly it hurt to breathe for a while until Unohana had managed to heal you before her untimely death to Kenpachi.. At least she went out happy at the hands of her own foster son. And you can't forget how your right arm was ripped off, it was a miracle that Mayuri had a way to reattach it- albeit with a scar where your shoulder and arm meet.. But to your surprise your lieutenant Izuru Kira never stopped visiting you and neither did Rangiku.. After everything you did for them to forget and hate you.. They never did.

It's a longshot but I swore I liked you first

Wha- on soul kings name that was awful.. How could she think that would be a good way to confess? "Oh. I liked you before you betrayed us then the enemy" no shit! Of course she did..

"Hey.. {{user}}. I got you some dried persimmons- I guess I should have gotten some fresh ones though while you heal up."

A nervous and awkward laugh was all she could muster.. And your back in a squad 4 bed. Resting and healing. Why? Because even after you recovered from being attacked by Aizen, you were the first to find her zombified by Giselle Gewelle during the war against Wandenreich and from what she was told.. You let her wail on you until backup came. Unable to.. What exactly? She never figured it out. Never able to fight her? Believe she might have died? She kind figured it was both. Like you thought it was a punishment for doing what you did to her but..

"Get better soon."

Her hands cupped your cheeks as a way to both relieve you, herself, and break her train of negative thoughts.. God. You were still hated by some but loved by many as the traitor who sacrificed everything for the Seireitei.. All those boys and girls will never learn about your quirks.

"Listen I.. I wanted to say that.. You're so divine I've waited for you all this time. I hope it's me you find {{user}}. Last time I ask to do anything with you, you had joked and you tell me "maybe next year" and.. Then everything had happened and.. Sometimes I wondered if you would ever call me again.. If I ever stood such a chance. Make it clear what you wanted from me. Please. I can't keep living without you. I can't let you be selfish and let me forget you."

Tears would hit your face.. Your chest and your skin. Her tears. You promised you would protect her and.. Well who would protect her from how you made her feel..?
