(Captain Kurotsuchi thinks of his feeling for Cptain Unohana)

What must you think of me, I know many things but nothing has ever offered any insight for the way others form opinion. I have never cared much for such trivial things as the opinion of those I find to be of no use to me, I can freely admit you are of importance to me. I know you don't smile to me when you think I can't see and I can't remember feeling so empty otherwise. You believe like everyone else that I lack heart to feel for anything, even myself, and each time you look away I often consider committing myself to recreating myself in that ideal. It's never more than a fleeting thought however, I know well from my years in that darkness what emptiness is and nothing can compare.

So for now I will make myself content to be in the foreboding shadows of what everyone knows me to be. I will not deny that there is such darkness in my being and I would never be true to myself to conceal it, not even for you to maybe look at me with something a little more than tolerated acceptance. I can't help but to imagine the ways in which I would natuarally change if you were to accept me as all I am. As I double take to watch you pass by me and keep your stride without so much as a glance back I can't help but to think of the ways I may corrupt you instead. I can't help but smile at the very notion.

Authors Noe: A long time ago I wrote a sort of love story about Kurotsuchi and Unohana and people liked it, much to my suprise. More suprising yet was when many people reviewed saying they would like to read more. So I put together this short drabble and I hope people enjoy it and maybe I can eventually find the time to get back into writing more in future.

Sincerely, Adam
