#01 - Motion
“Aah,” said Matsumoto to Kira in an understanding tone, “now I see what kind of power your smile has that can make him available at your beck and call all the time.”
#02 - Cool
Shuuhei knew he was being totally uncool, but if that boy still wouldn’t let go Kira’s hand in the next five seconds, he was going to slay something.
#03 - Young
They might be young, Shuuhei realized this, but it was a privilege indeed to have Kira by his side in such young age.
#04 - Last
I’ll be back soon, the words which had been spoken to him in such tenderness meant nothing to Kira as Yamamoto-soutaichou made an official announcement that the ninth division’s vice-captain had been slain by a hollow and now was no longer alive.
#05 - Wrong
“No Kira, you couldn’t be more wrong, I’m positive that ‘tsp’ stands for teaspoon, while ‘tbsp’ stands for tablespoon.”
#06 - Gentle
Every time he arrived wounded, the only thing Shuuhei needed to recover was a simple, tender touch from Kira when he gently bandaged Shuuhei’s wounds, because Izuru was the inevitable reason for him to come back alive.
#07 - One
“One of these days, Shuuhei, you will realize that Seireitei doesn’t place such a huge desk in offices for nothing.”
#08 - Thousand
“Hiisagi-san, for the thousandth time, we cannot have sex in your office!”
#09 - King
“If you are the King, then I am but your loyal servant,” and Kira blinked, this man in front of him could not be Shuuhei!
#10 - Learn
“He may be a blond, but when will you learn that he is my blond??”
#11 - Blur
The whole thing happened so quickly it became a blur, and the next thing Kira saw was Shuuhei’s body being cut in two as he took a blow that was intended for him.
#12 - Wait
Waiting had never been his virtue; but then again, watching Kira work was definitely a good activity to pass the time for Shuuhei.
#13 - Change
“Kira, please change your clothes in the bathroom if you don’t want me to ravish you again.”
#14 - Command
Shuuhei knew he was on Kira’s beck and call; after all who could say no if that beautiful blond smiled at you with such sweetness in his eyes?
#15 - Hold
When Shuuhei embraced him more tightly, when he gave Kira comforting words, when they lay together at night, it was when Kira realized that he was truly blessed, for being able to be with him was indeed the best thing that ever happened to Kira.
#16 - Need
Seeing Kira’s smile at the end of a particularly busy day was no longer only a necessity for Shuuhei, it had become vital.
#17 - Vision
It was such a phenomenon that he would never understand, Shuuhei realized, how every time Kira came into his vision, he became the only object that mattered.
#18 - Attention
Shuuhei loves paying attention to Kira, and he couldn’t care less if Renji chocked his beer or Rangiku smiled mischievously if it means he could kiss Kira in public.
#19 - Soul
They might not have a living body anymore, but certainly a spirit could still feel what it meant to love another, or Kira and Shuuhei would threaten even the King of Hell to send them back as humans, even if only for a short time.
#20 - Picture
Ever since Ichigo introduced a camera to him, he hadn’t been able to stop playing with it; Shuuhei knew this, but when Kira snapped a picture of them together as he lay his head on the other man’s shoulder, Shuuhei could only smile; this one was going into a frame.
#21 - Fool
“Are you an idiot?” Renji practically screamed, “now go to him and fuckin’ apologize or I’ll kick your ass so hard ya can’t sit for weeks!”
#22 - Mad
“Izuru, dear, I know you’re mad at me, but can we forget all this and have sex now?” had been Shuuhei’s last words before he found himself shivering at a couch in the living room, alone.
#23 - Child
Being a child had its plusses, but being an adult gave you much more advantage, Shuuhei pondered as he grinned in satisfaction at how Kira writhed in pleasure under him.
#24 - Now
Gin and Tousen would forever remain as dark spots in their past; ironically though, it was to them that Shuuhei had to owe his happiness with Kira right now.
#25 - Shadow
Renji knew Shuuhei was at fault; Kira wouldn’t have so many bags and shadows under his eyes if it wasn’t because that stupid vice-captain didn’t let him get any rest last night.
#26 - Goodbye
“I’ll see you in two weeks,” the whispered words had haunted him for some time now, and as he looked at the calendar on his table, Kira still couldn’t believe that even day one hadn’t ended yet.
#27 - Hide
Playing hide and seek with Kusajishi-fukutaichou certainly has its benefits, Kira realized-for example, Shuuhei could hold his hands all the time as they hid together under the table.
#28 - Fortune
“Kira, rather than believing what a fortune cookie said, I think it’s better if you believe when I say that I love you!”
#29 - Safe
There was no other place where he would feel more safely in Seireitei than in Shuuhei’s arms, Kira was sure of that.
#30 - Ghost
Sometimes, he wondered if it was only a dream, to be able to be with Shuuhei like this; but if it was really only a dream, Kira would prefer not to wake up at all.
#31 - Book
“This book is awesome, do you think we can try this tonight?” Shuuhei asked as he flipped yet another page of ‘Kama Sutra - Limited Edition’ Renji gave him last week.
#32 - Eye
If an eye was for an eye, a hand for a hand, then surely a smile was also for a smile, Shuuhei mused as he returned Kira’s gentle smile.
#33 - Never
When Kira was riding him, eyes closed in concentration, mouth opened as he panted slightly, and face twisted in pleasure, Shuuhei thought he had never seen anything more beautiful.
#34 - Sing
Shuuhei’s voice might not be suited for a high melody, Kira noted, but his baritone voice could melt Kira anytime he wanted to, especially in the form of intimate whispers at night.
#35 - Sudden
“Kira, why on earth do you bake cookies out of the blue?”; “It’s for Kusajishi-fukutaichou, hopefully with these cookies, she won’t realize that you were the one who made Zaraki-taichou so drunk until he forgot to play with her last night.”
#36 - Stop
“For the love of God, Izuru, will you stop baking those cookies and start paying attention to me?!”
#37 - Time
The privilege of an immortal live that they had as God of Death seemed so short for Shuuhei; after all, no time in the world was enough for him to show how he much he loved Kira, not even the length of eternity.
#38 - Wash
“Hiisagi-san, will you wash the dishes tonight please? For me?” Kira asked, accompanied by a sweet smile he knew Shuuhei could not resist.
#39 - Torn
Shuuhei held Kira’s now torn hakama and said in horror, “He’s going to kill me for this!”
#40 - History
Do you think we will be remembered as heroes, Hiisagi-san? Kira had asked him before they departed for final battle at Karakura town; Of course not, Shuuhei had answered, heroes are for those who died.
#41 - Power
The final blow came, and as he watched that lithe body fell down, never before had Shuuhei felt so powerless.
#42 - Bother
They shouldn’t even bother to heal him, Shuuhei watched as the medical team busily surrounded Kira, he’s dead already.
#43 - God
What’s the point in being God of Death if you can still be defeated by the death itself, Shuuhei pondered as he stared at Kira’s lifeless, unmoving body.
#44 - Wall
His hands clutched desperately at the hakama in front of him and he could feel the hard surface of the wall behind him; amazingly though, all he could think of right now was how good Shuuhei’s lips felt on his.
#45 - Naked
“Hiisagi-san, please don’t tell me we shed our clothes again in the party last night.”
#46 - Drive
Every good officer in Seireitei was driven by ambition, loyalty, and special connection between them and their superiors, Kira knew this, but in Shuuhei’s case toward him, an immense sex drive filled in the rest of the empty space.
#47 - Harm
Kira wondered as he played with an empty sake bottle; how could such a harmless thing contribute so much to where his and Shuuhei’s relationship stood right now?
#48 - Precious
When someone had become precious to you, they also became your weakness; but then again, Shuuhei mused as he gazed at Kira’s sleeping form, it was a risk he was most willing to take.
#49 - Hunger
“Hunger: a feeling of discomfort or weakness caused by the lack of food, coupled with the desire to eat,” Shuuhei read out loud, but then he just had to protest, “Why don’t they mention lack of sex? That can lead to a higher level of hunger than food.”
#50 - Believe
Trust was the basic key of success in any relationship; thankfully, he and Kira were masters when it came to believing in each other.
