this based partly on #9 and #37
#01 - Comfort
He hadn’t been called, Byakuya had barely reached shikai, but he knew when he was needed; so here he was holding the teen close, soothing him with light strokes of his hair as the brunette came to terms with the disappearance of his constant torment, and perhaps only friend.
#02 - Kiss
The first kiss Byakuya ever bestowed upon him was gentle and sudden, content and unsure, dominating and submissive and it made his head spin as he held his master to him, taking it all in and savouring every second.
#03 - Soft
The first time Senbonzakura scolded him for doing something wrong it didn’t sound right to the noble; those words of disparity were too soft for what they were.
#04 - Pain
He stumbled, blood having splattered from his wound and he might have fallen, in a very undignified manner too, if not for Senbonzakura catching him and keeping him upright.
#05 - Potatoes
On the rare occasion Byakuya had to cook for himself, he was hardly alone in the process and Renji watched in awe, trying not to laugh, as sakura petals neatly diced a potato that Byakuya had only just set on the chopping board.
#06 - Rain
Senbonzakura hid in his normal spot, beneath tall branches, as rain pelted the leaves; even though outside his master’s inner world was a cold spring morning and, for Senbonzakura, the last five years had been spent in sun light.
#07 - Chocolate
“Master I have been informed that on this day one gives chocolates to the one they love,” Senbonzakura murmured, a light blush on his cheeks hidden by his mask, offering them to the noble; Byakuya blinked in an uncharacteristic display of confusion before asking softly: “Who told you and where did you get them?”
#08 - Happiness
Senbonzakura smiled as strong sunlight washed over him - this was true happiness.
#09 - Telephone
Both shinigami and zanpakutou spirit sat staring at the strange, ringing, object watching it confused as it worked its way across the table until a panicked Renji burst into the office with an exasperated sigh: “Ya’re supposed to answer, taichou!”
#10 - Ears
Senbonzakura had to vaguely wonder if Byakuya had been slipped some sort of drug when the noble lay on top of him and nuzzled the sensitive spot beneath his ear and - was that a purr?
#11 - Name
His name was often called in the midst of battle when the need for his fluttering petal-like form became apparent but Senbonzakura felt his name always sounded best falling from kiss swollen lips in the throes of passion.
#12 - Sensual
Petals whispered over ivory skin, never cutting only caressing as the controller of said petals lightly kissed and teased soft lips, never deepening the kiss until he caught the nearly concealed pleading in their shared reiatsu.
#13 - Death
For all the things he cursed in his existence as only a zanpakutou spirit; he revelled in the fact that he would die with Byakuya.
#14 - Sex
The spirit found it just a little amusing how self conscious Byakuya was in the open field, despite the fact it was the shinigami's own inner world and really no one but them could hear them.
#15 - Touch
Senbonzakura shuddered at the gentle, cautious touches of his master as he explored the spirit’s body for the first time.
#16 - Weakness
Emotions were weakness, something to be kept deep inside him; Senbonzakura was glad for the fact he was deep inside the noble, right next to supposedly hidden emotions.
#17 - Tears
The zanpakutou spirit sat silently at the end of Byakuya’s bed, watching over his wielder, before he made the move to wipe away the noble’s fragile tears causing stormy grey eyes to blink up at him, bemused.
#18 - Speed
Byakuya didn’t chase after Yoruichi at the bridge for the sole reason he knew he couldn’t have caught her; only Senbonzakura knew Byakuya never wanted to.
#19 - Wind
Senbonzakura screamed his master’s name over the raging storm of Byakuya’s confusion as the (stupid, hot-headed) honour bound noble rushed into battle with the orange haired substitute but he was not heard, or rather ignored - he still came to defend against Zangetsu.
#20 - Freedom
He was ashamed at the little to no resistance he’d given to Muramasa as that voice had whispered promises of permanent freedom, of being able to be with his master, and yet those empty words had shattered so easily all from the simple utterance of a kidou from Byakuya.
#21 - Life
If life started with birth, then the zanpakutou had to wonder if this could be called a life, until he came to reflect on the moment Byakuya had finally called him; he would claim that as his birth.
#22 - Jealousy
He hadn’t been jealous of Hisana (much) and she had made Byakuya happy (mostly) but on their first meeting, when she smiled so warmly at him, the green in his heart just melted away.
#23 - Hands
Senbonzakura swirled around pale, outstretched hands, speeding to do his master’s bidding.
#24 - Taste
He watched curiously as Byakuya continued to eat the sushi that he knew was mostly wasabi before finally asking: “How can you even taste it properly, master?”
#25 - Devotion
“Byakuya,” the spirit whispered before their lips met and Byakuya smiled; he didn’t need the title of ‘master’ to know he had Senbonzakura’s devotion.
#26 - Forever
Byakuya shuddered at the whispered promises of forever, his body finally giving in to his zanpakutou's ministrations.
#27 - Blood
Every drop of crimson that dripped from Byakuya’s body screamed ‘failure’ at Senbonzakura.
#28 - Sickness
Senbonzakura was glad for the fact he couldn’t get ill as he slipped the tablets for Byakuya’s fever into his mouth via their heated kiss with a soft moan; breaking away, he pressed their foreheads together and murmured with a teasing smile: “Oops I think I made it worse.”
#29 - Melody
Senbonzakura stirred as a familiar, almost forgotten, tune ran through him and he materialised at Byakuya’s side, smiling as the noble continued to play his long neglected flute.
#30 - Star
If Renji was the baboon and Byakuya the moon, then Senbonzakura would be the stars that watched the struggle - also unable to reach the moon.
#31 - Home
Senbonzakura let out a soft happy sigh as he finally settled back home in Byakuya's inner world - though he would miss, a little, the freedom of constant materialisation.
#32 - Confusion
Byakuya watched Senbonzakura blink, a chunk of his mask having been blown away, as confusion left and shame replaced it; until he let his pale fingers brush soft black locks and equally pale skin in reassurance that no grudges were felt.
#33 - Fear
As the edges of Byakuya's inner world began to fade, threatening for the whole thing to disappear, fear like none the spirit had ever experienced surged through him as he called for his master to hang on.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
He hated the rolling thunder slowly approaching and the flashes of light most of all in Byakuya’s world, signifying the confusion that was beginning to stir and cloud the noble’s heart; Senbonzakura wished he could ease it and hide Byakuya’s fragile heart away from anymore hurt.
#35 - Bonds
A gloved hand lightly traced up a bound arm, stroking the sensitised skin beneath the cuff, and he smiled beneath his mask as Byakuya gave a soft gasp.
#36 - Market
Senbonzakura tugged unconsciously at the tight clothes on his gigai as they wondered through the market before Byakuya surreptitiously took his hand, making the other blush - only for him to blush more when he realised he had no mask to hide behind.
#37 - Technology
Byakuya stared at the screen as it froze for the millionth time and pulled out his zanpakutou, muttering:
“Chire -“
“Master, I don’t think that will help y-“
“Chire,” the noble murmured more persistently, watching the typing machine that Renji had so wanted, disintegrate.
#38 - Gift
He poked the wrapped package suspiciously, glancing between it and his master, who was trying his best not to laugh at the confused spirit - “It is a gift Senbonzakura,” he watched the other's eyes light up and Byakuya couldn't contain his soft chuckle.
#39 - Smile
Senbonzakura always wondered why Byakuya felt he had to hide his smiles, from even him sometimes, when they were so beautiful.
#40 - Innocence
Byakuya stared dumbstruck, trying to wrap his head around the fact that his own zanpakutou had just asked him where babies come from.
#41 - Completion
The noble let out a soft gasp as he returned from his inner world, flat on his back, but pride from both wielder and zanpakutou radiating through him at his achievement of bankai pushed away any lingering feelings of tiredness.
#42 - Clouds
Byakuya deliberately left clouds in the normally blue sky of his inner world and often found himself in quiet moments making shapes with them for the sole purpose of amusing Senbonzakura.
#43 - Sky
Senbonzakura watched, fascinated, as the sky changed from blue to various shades of pink and orange, creating a beautiful sunset, until he realised what that meant for the both of them.
#44 - Heaven
The zanpakutou spirit happily gazed up into the bright blue sky, lying beneath one of the trees in Byakuya's garden, said noble lying beside him, as peace and calm washed over them; this was truly heaven.
#45 - Hell
He was surprised the first time Hell’s Gate appeared, though he knew it would, knew it existed, but he still found it unsettled him; it was the thrum and weight of Senbonzakura in his hand that kept him steady.
#46 - Sun
The spirit barely used his true form; though it was worth it when Renji jumped a foot in the air at being scolded by the potted sakura tree that was sitting on the window ledge in the sunbeams.
#47 - Moon
Senbonzakura lay with his head in his master’s lap, his mask on the wooden floor beside him, staring up a moon he never saw in Byakuya’s inner world as said noble softly stroked his fingers through ink-black hair.
#48 - Waves
Byakuya wandered through the 6th division barracks wondering what all the odd looks were for until he released Senbonzakura was materialised beside him, waving at every shinigami that passed by.
#49 - Hair
He tried his best, he really did but when Maru tugged on his hair for the millionth time he snapped, which only resulted in him messing up the office and Maru leaving him alone for 5 wonderful minutes, but it was worth it for the 'punishment' Byakuya dealt to him later.
#50 - Supernova
Senbonzakura smiled, listening to the song that wafted into his inner world, by some band from the living world bizarrely named Bump of Chicken - one Renji would not stop listening to and though it should have been annoying, the words rang too true between his master and himself for it to become so.
