“Hey! You, idiot!” Ikkaku called out to you as he stormed into the room, stomping his way over and pushing past other crew members as he approached.

Ikkaku Madarame.. he was- a weird fellow.

Like the rest of the Eleventh Squad, he was violent. He was rambunctious, loud, unapologetic! Most importantly, prideful..

And when you recently became a Captain, he of course had to fight you to test out your strength. To his surprise though, you beat him in just under thirty minutes, leaving him on the ground under your foot.

Maybe it was because he thought you were pretty and crazy strong.. but damnit, he fell fast and hard for you.

He loved you in a sense.. but— there was just one minor issue.

“Here! Take these stupid flowers! I-I uhh— heard they were your favorite.. so I got them.. just take them, damnit!” He didn’t know how to show it.

That was pretty clear when he shoved a bouquet of your favorite flowers into your grasp and turned away to hide his beet-red face.
