Day 6: "His love for her roared louder than her demons…"

Title: Her Demons, His Love

Summary: Nightmares about Aizen are preventing Momo from getting any sleep. Thus, she heads over to her only saviour in such times— Toshiro...

There are times when fierce nightmares of her previous Captain, Aizen Sousuke, haunt Momo in her sleep. And every single night, she wakes-up with a fear she thought she had overcome a long time ago. No matter how hard she tries, she is unable to stop his visions from plaguing her dreams.

It's been more than ten years yet I..I still…

Anxiously she runs out of her quarters and rushes towards the barracks of the 10th Division. There, she waits with patience and teary-eyes for the only man whom she trusts can help her with her sleepless nights, to open his chamber's doors. When he finally does answer the door and looks down at her tear-struck face, he falters and quickly pulls her inside. They sit across each-other atop the satin sheets of his bed that are just as white as the snow and a reminder of his unkempt hair. No one speaks for a while but then Momo hesitantly decides to bring-up the topic.

"He still appears in my dreams…He calls me towards him..He asks me to free him of his chains and join him on his quest for power…" She explains, fully aware of the fact that Toshiro doesn't enjoy hearing anything regarding Aizen. He truly hates the man.

There is no need for her to enlighten him about who this He Momo is referring to. Toshiro sighs at her confession and surprises her by a tug of his now much more masculine yet lean arms. He pulls her down so as to make her lie comfortably on his sheets and himself lays down next to her. She nearly jumps when he snakes those same muscular arms around her petite waist to pull her closer towards himself.

"Sleep." He orders gently.

And the light blush on her face takes on a darker shade. She notices that he himselves is blushing but hasn't let go of her— a sign of his protectiveness towards her. And so, she accepts his order and closes her chocolate-brown orbs, after making sure to lock them once with his teal ones before finally descending into her land of dreams.

That night she sleeps without any nightmares of traitorous captains. Dreams fill her sleepy visions— dreams of a young man with teal eyes and hair white as snow. From then onwards, every night the young Captain of the 10th division joins her for bed and eventually, all her demons vanish by the presence of that man. He may get annoyed at her and her antics at times but he does love her…And his love for her..roared louder than her demons…
