One of the other things that fascinate me in Shinji and Momo's relationship is their mutual need to overcome Aizen, to start trusting again. The fact that they're both in the exact position that Aizen used to occupy in their lives would only make the process of getting over Aizen more difficult... I wish Kubo showed us more of how exactly the things between the two of them go.

This one's based on Simon, by Lifehouse. (Am I the only one who always thinks of Simon Tam when listening to that song?)

It's never something stated between them, words out in the open; rather, it's in the eyes always looking down, in the mouth slightly pursed when he trades the orders for the kind words, in the ways she crouches and hides whenever he shows up.

He doesn't need it to be said in words. He's been there.

So, slowly, ever so slowly, he reaches; a hand on her shoulder, a thoughtful question. He talks about himself, listens to her instead of just waiting for his turn to speak.

"Don't worry, I've felt the same," he says. "I've got your back, Momo."

Thanks for reading! Please let me know what you think of it!
