It's the fucking chicken dance.
uh...um...y-yamada, do you l-like me? what? no,it's just... what? i just had a feeling... because... his hand... - I'm busted, huh?
I like you. I like you, Akane-san. In the morning, when you wake up, if you've forgotten, that's okay. I''ll come by to say it again…until you remember what I said.

Guess who's back- yeahh Wrio altered my brain chemistry and i gotta cope with everything that just happened in the archon quest (iykyk). I haven't written in ages, I'm a bit rusty :')
𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐨𝐩𝐬𝐢𝐬: Slow mornings are the sweetest.
𝐓𝐖: Fluff (incredible, I know) nudity and intimacy in general (nothing too explicit, more on the romantic side), allusions to the night before, reader loves wrio's butt and is shameless about it (don't we all), mention of scars (wrio's), I tried to proof read it multiple times but my brain is fighting against me, lemme know if I missed anything

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 that his body is covered with scars, nor does he try to hide them. But the bedside lamp and the afterglow shed a new light on him, one that only you have the privilege of enjoying.
He sits at the edge of the bed, hands by his sides, sinking comfortably in the mattress. The slightest twitch of his muscles can't go unnoticed, not when everything is so slow and still as if time had stopped.
But that's what happens in the Fortress, no? Unless you keep an eye on the watch, minutes and hours blend into a placid flow, until you end up thinking you have all the time in the word.
That's why you lay down the clocks in the room, when darkness begins its descent up in the overworld.

The Temporal Extra of IchiRuki
Let me explain to you how extra Ichigo and Rukia are through the phenomenon of time:
- They meet on either May 11th or 18th of 2001. Rukia is taken on July 19th. That’s either 63 or 70 days, and really subtract 1 because she showed up very late at night. So 62 or 69 days. Mind you, we do not see a whole half of this time period, from June 18th to July 17th.
- They are briefly reunited for about 5 minutes on the Senzaikyuu on August 5th, and for like maybe 5 minutes on August 6th at the Soukyoku.
- They have a week together from August 7th to August 13th in Soul Society. That’s 7 days.
- They have a day together from September 7th to September 8th in Karakura. That’s 1 day.
- They’re reunited briefly during the fight with Grimmjow on October 29th. Ichigo is injured. Let’s call it maybe 10 minutes.
- They meet up again when Ukitake and Yamamoto are dishing out orders for perhaps 5 minutes on October 31st.
- They once more run into each other for at most a few hours in Hueco Mundo before splitting up on November 1st. Everything happened on that one day, so let’s call it 90 minutes.
- They’re reunited for all of a few seconds before Ichigo heads up to the Dome of Las Noches. Let’s call it 15 seconds.
- After his return to save her from Yammy, they’re together for a few minutes. Let’s call it 5 minutes.
- Later, Rukia will see Ichigo for perhaps a minute or so before he collapses from losing his powers.
- When Ichigo wakes up on December 2nd, they have perhaps 10 minutes together before he loses his ability to see her.
In other words, out of between 198 and 205 days from the start of this sequence of events, they were together for between 70 and 77 days, plus about 120 minutes. And then for the last almost three months, they were together for about 110 of those minutes in total. In other words, they were only together about 1/3 of the time, and it was overwhelmingly front-loaded.
AND THEY STILL LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE THIS:
Here is legitimately what happened, and I would bet money on it (15 black to the maximum, baby! I’m taking all your money!) being true: Kubo wrote the Grand Fisher fight, and realized “Holy fuck, they would totally comfort each other after this, fall into bed together, and become a thing.”
As an author, sometimes you will find your characters will do things you didn’t anticipate or plan for, and you’ve got two choices: you can go with the flow and do what’s natural and deal, or you can fight it and try and impose your vision anyway. In that moment he reached a crossroads where he could let Bleach naturally become a battle shoujo/couple shounen. (Both of which sound fantastic, honestly, where are the entries in those genres?)
And he chickened out and balked. Which is why he immediately skipped a month (including Ichigo’s 16th birthday!) and began limiting their panel time together as much as humanly possible. And look what still happened despite that. Look at all the panels! Look at them, Anakin! This fucker knew it!
