Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Shihouin Yoruichi/Urahara Kisuke
Theme set: Alpha
Rating: G through R
Some spoilers for their backgrounds, but nothing too bad.
#1--Comfort
She would never ask for it, but with him she would never need to.
#2--Kiss
"It means whatever I want it to mean," she tossed behind her, leaving him stunned, slumped against the wall in his rumpled Academy uniform.
#3--Soft
She rested her paw on his arm, both of them mindful of the pin-sharp claws just beneath velvety pads.
#4--Pain
"Walk it off," Yoruichi advised as Urahara lay on his back, still dazed by the force of his landing.
#5--Potatoes
Urahara knew not to blame the children when he woke up to greasy fingerprints and empty potato chip bags in the kitchen.
#6--Rain
She'd run outside as soon as summer storm broke; he soon joined her, winding an arm around her waist and nosing aside wet hair to kiss her beneath the ear.
#7--Chocolate
Every White Day sent Urahara searching the farthest reaches of Tokyo; anything less than the most exquisitely crafted European chocolate would be met with complete and utter disdain.
#8--Happiness
If anyone were to ask her, she'd say she wasn't unhappy and leave it at that.
#9--Telephone
"If you allow that...thing to interrupt us one more time, I will break it, and then I will break you."
#10--Ears
Yoruichi's voice was even as she gave her report; the flicker of one small ear was all that let him know how bad the situation really was.
#11--Name
Truth be told, she much preferred Shunshin over Shihouin; all respect given the former had been earned by her and her alone.
#12--Sensual
Kisuke took longer baths than anyone she'd ever met; it got even worse after he discovered bubbles.
#13--Death
Yoruichi fully intended that they would go together; Kisuke would be insufferable without her around to rein him in.
#14--Sex
It could only be truly, truly satisfying if you lost yourself during the act, and he was the only one with which she trusted herself to do so.
#15--Touch
As Yoruichi shivered and pressed closer into his side, Urahara silently put off plans for installing central heat another year.
#16--Weakness
It was obvious Yamamoto referred to Yoruichi when he spoke of consequences and guarantees of compliance at Urahara's sentencing; little did he know she'd never allow herself to be used that way.
#17--Tears
"Don't cry anymore, Yoruichi-san," the boy said gravely, wiping her face with a small, grubby hand, "I don't like it."
#18--Speed
"See," he panted as she writhed and cursed beneath him, "sometimes slow is good too."
#19--Wind
A pile of clothes beneath fluttering curtains meant he'd missed her once again.
#20--Freedom
"I know I can leave whenever I want," she said tonelessly, "but it doesn't really matter unless I can come back, too."
#21--Life
The older women in the neighborhood swore the new light in his eyes was due to a special someone, but no one ever saw him with anyone other than the children, Tessai-san, and that odd cat.
#22--Jealousy
"Whatever," she yawned, scratching her stomach.
#23--Hands
He likes that she still shivers at the feel of his calloused palms running over her back.
#24--Taste
"I rather like my hat," he said, smiling into her infuriated face.
#25--Devotion
There was nothing else that both drew her and repelled her quite so much.
#26--Forever
"I don't have that kind of patience," she said.
#27--Blood
"Kisuke is my friend," the Shihouin princess announced, with all the haughtiness a five year old could muster, "so I don't care where he comes from."
#28--Sickness
"I don't know why you keep letting him give you expired medicine," she called, frowning at the pitiful moans coming from the bathroom.
#29--Melody
He hummed that stupid song every time he got the better of her, be it the last cookie or first blood.
#30--Star
Knowing him as she did, she couldn't say she was actually surprised by his meteoric rise or his fiery crash.
#31--Home
She inspected the entire store until satisfied, then curled up on the floor in the middle of a convenient shaft of sunlight.
#32--Confusion
He always knew exactly what she meant...but it wasn't always in his best interests to admit it.
#33--Fear
She was convinced that one day his curiosity would finally lead him into something he couldn't get out of.
#34--Lightning/Thunder
Her zanpaktou flashed as it scored a line across his chest, and the earth trembled as they met in mock battle.
#35--Bonds
He knew exactly what kept bringing her back, even if no one else did.
#36--Market
Ever since she'd nearly broken a man's arm for groping her on the crowded sidewalk, Yoruichi was no longer allowed to help with the shopping.
#37--Technology
Her favorite piece of machinery was the radio; quiet music often served as the background for lazy afternoons.
#38--Gift
Despite his seemingly open and friendly nature, his regard was hard-earned and hard-kept; his interest even more so.
#39--Smile
She'd never tell him, but he could get her to do anything with one of his rare, unguarded smiles.
#40--Innocence
"Well, who the hell else should I lose it to--Shunsui?" she snapped, face aflame.
#41--Completion
"Again," she commanded, panting, "no one said we were finished."
#42--Clouds
She leaped lightly to his lap from her perch on the windowsill; it wasn't as warm as a sunbeam, but it would damn sure stay still until she was done with it.
#43--Sky
Despite the seriousness of the situation, he couldn't help but admire her body outlined against the sky just before she flipped and slammed her heel into the Arrancar's head.
#44--Heaven
"Obviously it wasn't, or I wouldn't have left."
#45--Hell
"Yoruichi-san doesn't care for places like this," Urahara told Ururu as they weaved through the press of spectators and carefully constructed habitats at the zoo.
#46--Sun
He couldn't imagine life without her, either.
#47--Moon
Night suited him, she mused; the moon's light rarely fully illuminated the shadows it cast.
#48--Waves
Urahara had always been fascinated by the phenomenon of seemingly unrelated events spreading out from a central stimulus.
#49--Hair
When she was feeling particularly indulgent, she would allow him to brush her hair till it shone, then pull it back from her face in a long, fat braid before turning for the evening.
#50--Supernova
They died in battle, in an explosion of flame and light, seared onto the memory of those watching for years to come.
