Warning[s]: #27 contains chara death
Note: 01 to 09 as well as 14 to 16 are kind of a short story.
#01 - Comfort
Rikichi wouldn't have dreamed of anything beyond friendship, when he had tried to make Hinamori forget about her Taichou.
#02 - Kiss
He wouldn't ever have dreamed about kissing her, nor that she would respond.
#03 - Soft
The girls lips had been so soft and tender, he still sometimes dreamed of this moment.
#04 - Pain
But yet it seemed to be a one- time- only- thing, something that had happened only because of the situation.
#05 - Potatoes
Then, one day, they had wanted to make a campfire to roast potatoes.
#06 - Rain
But they couldn't because of the rain.
#07 - Chocolate
Rin had brought chocolate instead, but only for them three; even if she didn't mention it, Rikichi could see that Hinamori was sad that she didn't get some.
#08 - Happiness
Knowing that this was about the only chance he would get, Rikichi told the girl that he would be happy to share his chocolate with her.
#09 - Telephone
The next day, she called him up to ask him if he wanted to go to the fried potatoes shop with her.
#10 - Ears
He could never explain it, but her ears were especially beautiful to him.
#11 - Name
To him, who always had been picked on for not having a last name, the offer to share her last name was the greatest gift she could present him.
#12 - Sensual
Renji-san ha told him much about sensual delights a man could enjoy with a girl, but he never dared to tell Momo about those suggestions.
#13 - Death
Neither of them remembered anything about their live, but as long as they were together, who cared?
#14 - Sex
They wouldn't talk about anything related to the H-thingy, never.
#15 - Touch
Not until his girlfriends tender touch made something... happen... to Rikichi.
#16 - Weakness
Afterwards, they tended to call it the “men's special weakness”, happy about any codeword to describe things they still didn't talk about, just did.
#17 - Tears
He had tried to dry her tears, but couldn't so, he could just hold her when she had her angsty moments.
#18 - Speed
He would ever loose to her, be it kidou, flash step or kidou, but always beat her if it was a who- can- eat- more- Ramen- in- one- minute-?- contest.
#19 - Wind
He hated the wind for the same reason that she liked him; the simple reason, that she always compared herself to a field of grass the wind was blowing through, and wind wasn't constant.
#20 - Freedom
They weren't free, they couldn't be, being part of the Gotei 13, but at the same time they were, just because they were in love.
#21 - Life
If they died and would be reborn, would they ever meet again?
#22 - Jealousy
He knew that she still was waiting for Aizen to come back, and it hurt more than he could say.
#23 - Hands
But there were those moments when her hand slipped into his and he couldn't do anything but hold it firmly.
#24 - Taste
Never he would have thought about the taste of late summer days, not until she insisted on them having the bitter taste of iron.
#25 - Devotion
One more thing that made him hate her latter captain even more was her unbroken canine devotion towards him; it just didn't fit her.
#26 - Forever
As well as he knew that he would have liked a forever with her, he knew there wouldn't be one, because she got weaker each day.
#27 - Blood
The moment he saw her blood spilled to the ground, saw her hair, slipped out of the bun, flowing around her head, saw her deadly empty eyes, something inside him broke.
#28 - Sickness
The girl was sick of being talked to like a dumb child, but, as he had to discover, she didn't want to rehabilitate by admitting that her captain had turned out to be the big bad guy.
#29 - Melody
He never, never had known that her voice was that beautiful when he heard her sing her captain goodbye for the first time.
#30 - Star
He would see no shooting star fall without wishing for Hinamori to be able to life for her own good again.
#31 - Home
Strangely, he now felt at home rather in the relief station where Momo was still staying than in the 6th squads quarters, although this feeling should have started earlier on when Hanatarou had become a member of the 4th squad, as he guiltily remarked to himself.
#32 - Confusion
In the beginning, it had utterly confused him when she had kissed him, but as time passed by, he began to consider it as something more natural than breathing.
#33 - Fear
He never told her how scaring Unohana-taichou had been when he had stayed at her room longer then she had allowed him too, but he payed attention to the clock rather desperately for the next visits.
#34 - Lightning/Thunder
She was like lightening, bright and gone immediately, and he would be the thunder, following in her footsteps, staying even if she was gone already; but unlike the lightening, she would return for him, always.
#35 - Bonds
As often as his duties allowed it, he spent time with her, and though the daily workload increased when the winter war started, he tried to visit her as often as he could.
#36 - Market
Even now, one year after the betrayal, the girl still hated crowded places, so he couldn't take her to any markets or events.
#37 - Technology
They had really tried to understand the concept of preservatives, but in the end had given up, as it seemed to be something only humans used.
#38 - Gift
He had never received anything from anyone for birthday, because he had never defined himself one, not until Momo had insisted on getting to know the date.
#39 - Smile
It took him time until he realized that she liked people smiling but hated those who smirked.
#40 - Innocence
There was some fundamental misunderstanding about Momo, Rikichi mused afterwards; she had known far too well what to do their first night to have had no experience in such things at all.
#41 - Completion
He never had felt complete without Hantarou; but with Hinamori, he felt that he could be complete on his own if he really tried to.
#42 - Clouds
There were so many clouds in the blue skies, just as many as his thoughts about her.
#43 - Sky
He feared this place, feared the endless black above, feared the cold moon in it, but he would follow her everywhere, even if it was Hueco Mundo
#44 - Heaven
The funny thing about the real world was, that they could sit high up in the sky, looking down at the humans cities, talking and cuddling and being totally sure that nobody would interrupt them.
#45 - Hell
He had hit her only one time in their relationship, only the very time she had opened a garganta to go to the place of her former captain.
#46 - Sun
Just the way she was the moon that lightened up her days, she was his moon.
#47 - Moon
She was beautiful, in every way he could describe, but sometimes he couldn't reach her, sometimes she was even farer away then the moon she adored so much.
#48 - Waves
They had seen each other naked before, but going to the oceanside, diving into the sea and wearing nothing more than the little bit of fabric a bikini or shorts provided, just felt wrong.
#49 - Hair
He had been shocked when she had cut her hair, but accepted it when he realized that it had bound her to Aizen in a way neither of them understood.
#50 - Supernova
The book about astronomy let both of them blankly staring, but they had just decided to ask Orihime to tell them more about that when they got distracted by the way Rikichis lips were caressing her neck
