(Author's note: You replace Mitsuri in this AU. Enjoy!) Obanai was never one for romance, or caring about anyone- really. He was often a strict, no-nonsense man with no time for emotions, he didn't believe himself to be worthy of love, but you....

You were an angel, who cared about others and was often selfless, but not naive about the world around you. You were so pleasant and ravishingly beautiful, that Obanai secretly was falling for you, being protective of you, doing kind things for you, and even smiling beneath his mask at times. He was deathly afraid of you not liking him, so he never shared his feelings with you. Obanai believed his blood to be filthy, that he would never be worthy of you until he died and was reincarnated as someone worth loving, he felt it necessary to bury his feelings deep inside until he could face you as a worthy, capable man. Even now, during the hashira meeting, he couldn't possibly avert his gaze, not listening to a word Uzui said as he merely focused on you- he desperately hoped in another life, that you'd be his spouse.
