1sentence challenge complete!
#01: God:
Ulquiorra had resigned himself to a life of servitude, but at the end of the day he was sated to know he could play God with her.
#02: Soul:
He knew exactly what lured him to her in the first place: it wasn't the pretty face, or the unrealistically huge heart, or the even more unrealistically huge breasts; it was her soul, and the mere fact that she had something that he didn't.
#03: Sing:
Orihime loved to talk - asking questions, complaining, and even singing - so much so that sometimes he only kissed her to shut her up.
#04: Stop:
When he ran his hands over her bare skin, his fingers roughly grazing her hips or the tender flesh of her breasts, she would sometimes plead for him to stop - he would just pretend he didn't hear.
#05: Harm:
Ulquiorra wasn't like Grimmjow in many ways, one of the most prominent being that he didn't take pleasure in harming innocent creatures - with the exception of Orihime, that is.
#06: Hide:
He'd hate to admit it to Aizen, but Ulquiorra loved it when Orihime hid her food rather than eating it - they both knew it was just another excuse to "punish" her.
#07: Power:
Ulquiorra liked to believe he held the power in their twisted tryst of a relationship, all along knowing it was a lie.
#08: Bother:
When he couldn't be bothered to answer her questions, he settled for pinning her against a wall and silencing her with his tongue.
#09: Hunger:
As a hollow and an Espada, Ulquiorra rarely felt hunger - except for when he was around Orihime, and he was suddenly overcome by it.
#10: Time:
Her living in Hueco Mundo was difficult for both of them at first: she constantly kept him in bed until the late afternoon.
#11: Wall:
Initially, he had shoved her against the wall and crushed his lips against hers to intimidate her; to his dismay, she liked it.
#12: Attention:
Considering how long she could talk about nothing relevant at all, he was surprised by the length of her attention span.
#13: Gentle:
"I won't be what you want me to be - I won't be gentle."
#14: Blur:
It seldom happened, but when Grimmjow would finally get on his very last nerve, Ulquiorra would blow off steam with a quick romp between the sheets - Orihime wondered if exceptional speed was a secret power of his.
#15: Child:
The fact that Arrancar could not bear children pleased Ulquiorra; for some reason, it saddened Orihime.
#16: King:
Despite his mask of complete apathy, Ulquiorra couldn't quell an irate twitch whenever he saw the sparse looks of completely lascivious intent Aizen shot her.
#17: Wrong:
No matter how it happened - fast and rough or slow and silky - one thing was constant: it was always wrong.
#18: Last:
The only thing Ulquiorra found beautiful about their relationship was the simple and undeniable truth that lay at the heart of it: it wouldn't last.
#19: Thousand:
Even if he were a kilometer away, he doubted he could drown out her incessant "friendship" preaching.
#20: Need:
As an Arrancar, Ulquiorra had never needed anything before - food, water, affection - and that was one of the reasons he hated Orihime.
#21: Hold:
To stop himself from holding her hands, he gripped her wrists until he left bruises - she understood why, but he didn't.
#22: Now:
"If you don't stop talking right now, I'll leave you in a room with Grimmjow for an entire week."
#23: Naked:
Strangely enough, Ulquiorra preferred her clothed: the white of the Arrancar robes seemed to suit her better than her own skin.
#24: One:
He found the very notion of her power ridiculous - one fairy was enough, but six?
#25: Wait:
Some nights she refused to do it quickly - on those nights, he refused to wait.
#26: Never:
Despite the constant threats that practically oozed from his mouth, he vowed never to let Grimmjow within a thirty foot radius of his woman.
#27: Drive:
For never having had one before, Ulquiorra adapted quite well to taming his sex drive; if you said that to Orihime, she'd snort indignantly and glare at the rumpled sheets of her bed.
#28: Cool:
Despite the relatively neutral climate of Hueco Mundo, it was always hot in Orihime's room.
#29: Wash:
Orihime sometimes wondered if she should give up bathing altogether - every time she washed, Ulquiorra just came and made her all sweaty again.
#30: Torn:
The first time they'd had sex, Orihime felt something inside her tear - strangely, it wasn't her heart.
#31: Change:
Ulquiorra liked to stay and watch her change back into her clothes, as if the white robes erased everything they'd just done.
#32: Eye:
Whenever Ulquiorra extracted his eye to make a report, he had to make a conscious effort to exclude all images of a sweaty Orihime moaning beneath him from leaking through.
#33: Precious:
Ulquiorra never used words like "darling" or "precious", because love took all the romance out of it.
#34: Learn:
Some urges he'd had to learn to quell, like the fact that he sometimes wanted to scratch his name into her skin just to make her remember.
#35: Young:
It was an idiotic thought that nevertheless nagged constantly at the back of his mind: relative to age, he was a child in comparison.
#36: Motion:
Reluctantly, Ulquiorra could never really let loose in bed lest the headboard bang against the wall and inform the others of their little secret - as such, he had half a mind just to move the damn thing to the center of the room and be done with it.
#37: Command:
Command was something he was good at, while bravery was her own special talent.
#38: Picture:
In the more dull Espada meetings, Ulquiorra hoped no one knew that he was mentally picturing a rather naked, rather restrained Orihime.
#39: Mad:
Ulquiorra rarely got mad, but when he did Orihime would lock the door and prop a chair against it - kink was one thing, rage was another.
#40: Shadow:
Ulquiorra sometimes wanted to ask her what it felt like to be a shadow of your former self, or even what it felt like to have a former self.
#41: Book:
Despite being denied plenty of luxuries - television, exercise, fresh air -, the only thing Orihime lamented about missing was manga.
#42: Vision:
Whenever Ulquiorra's teeth would prick that familiar spot in the nape of her neck, he took a few seconds to relax and enjoy the sight - she was a vision in red.
#43: Fortune:
Ulquiorra didn't consider their meeting to be of good fortune; rather, he thought it was the cruel hand of fate giving him the finger.
#44: Goodbye:
Ulquiorra awaited the day where she'd leave with both anticipation and hatred, and beneath that layer of unrecognizable emotion slept the guilt of saying goodbye.
#45: Ghost:
One time, to break an awkward silence, she tried to tell him a ghost story - he quickly covered her mouth with his and the moral went unknown forever.
#46: Safe:
She told him that she felt safe around him - he told her to feel nothing.
#47: Sudden:
Despite knowing it would happen every night (just as it had the one before that, and the one before that), to Orihime it always came as a surprise.
#48: Believe:
What frightened him most wasn't her excessive determination (personally, he didn't believe a word of it), but rather the simple fact that he was frightened at all.
#49: History:
"I don't want to go down in history; I want to erase the face of it."
#50: Fool:
When Ulquiorra heard Orihime singing a song called "Fools Rush In" (terribly off key, it wouldn't hurt to note), he felt like snorting and correcting her with, "Only fools go in at all."
