#01 - Motion
Ichigo never considered why he was being watched, if he even realized it, but Aizen always found some very pleasing about the fights Ichigo gets into with his arrancar.
#02 - Cool
They all understood the warmth of a god but Tousan felt his spot get cold and colder each day the Ryoka refused to bend to Aizen’s will.
#03 - Young
He sometimes wondered where his mommy was and why the lived in the desert now, but now he had a little sister and daddy was happier then he ever was, so it was okay.
#04 - Last
Ichigo had finally realized how Aizen found his screen name- that last second bid on eBay for limited edition vinyl- and how it all lead up to them sitting in an internet café, in America, trying to beat some loser that attack their guild.
#05 - Wrong
Kyoka Suigtesu was an amazing cross dresser; none of the men in her (his) life realized it yet.
#06 - Gentle
His one time fling with Kenpachi was soft and he couldn’t believe it- part of him wanted that little perfection but there was a cunning grin and another little girl waiting for him at home.
#07 - One
In another world , before themselves, Sousuke had the chance to save Ichigo but the Greater Good was calling, in this world and life he ignores it.
#08 - Thousand
Kurosaki acted like a signal fire to the shinigami, something that would rise up suddenly and disappear without a warning until they realized that something needed to be cleaned up.
#09 - King
Something that had seemed so important still was, but this time Sousuke was more than willing to dutifully serve his king anyway that he could (and would).
#10 - Learn
It was admirable how Kurosaki attempted to get on with his life but the mystical arts are his calling, not doctoring.
#11 - Blur
She and Soi Fong got out of the way in time but Ichigo didn’t; he’s been out of their grasp in all possible ways since.
#12 - Wait
Sousuke knew how to wait for things and Ichigo would always come back to him one way or another.
#13 - Change
Like most things it was subtle and amusement and anger went to amusement and curiosity, then to curiosity and denial, but their personalities met up in the end.
#14 - Command
They both know that Jushiro is a man that just wants the war over with, and as he signs the treaty they wonder if anybody actually knows what was given up in order to get the peace- both a victory and a mourning.
#15 - Hold
Ichigo felt the overlord hold him back from running into the city proper- now he really was the last one.
#16 - Need
They both left her there- both of them; Hinamori wasn’t sure which man she hated more.
#17 - Vision
He would never mention this to anybody but Aizen made more sense then the disjointed rules and ideas others had tried to shove down his throat, mostly the ones that’d like to kill him.
#18 - Attention
Aizen wasn’t jealous or anything that Ichigo seemed more interested in his lower tiered Espada instead of himself- he wasn’t.
#19 - Soul
It was disgusting but Ichigo wouldn’t let his lover get completely destroyed and he consumed it and they were going to be together, reincarnation or not.
#20 - Picture
Yuzu still had the picture, years later under Overlord Aizen, of him and her brother before Shunsui managed to kill him and they both privately mourn for hid death and wait for his eventual reincarnation.
#21 - Fool
Shinji is the closest thing he’s ever had to an older brother (it’s a nice feeling), but he won’t be put down like a child just because they don’t agree on his boyfriend.
#22 - Mad
"Am I angry Ichigo, should I, in fact feel anything about how selfish you are being lying to me and fucking that shinigami you’ve got in your house?"
#23 - Child
Masaki wasn’t freighted of ghosts, but the man that had been following her, as courteous as he was, should not be that close to her son and she’d let him give Ichigo a lollipop over her dead body.
#24 - Now
Ichigo couldn’t really escape now, Shinji and Urahara had cornered him with Byakuya standing there in shell shock- but Gin was on the way as help, for what it was worth.
#25 - Shadow
The insults he threw at the other vizard never seemed to bother Ichigo, it was always the physical that did and he knew it’d be difficult to get him under hypnosis.
#26 - Goodbye
The greatest thing about Chad was, even though he was about to get into a shit load of trouble, he knew when and where to be with a rucksack over his shoulder and a calm understanding of what Ichigo was doing.
#27 - Hide
It wasn’t quite enough to try to get the bed to swallow him or to pull the blanket even closer- Sousuke was going to have to do something about Ulquiorra barging in.
#28 - Fortune
Mere weeks before the execution, the captains order food from the human world, and Aizen’s cookie’s warning about berries and lucky number fifteen was ignored as a joke.
#29 - Safe
Blustering and bashful, Sousuke wondered how on earth the boy managed to stutter out about a condom when his nakama were on the other side of a thin, thin wall.
#30 - Ghost
"Not going anywhere now, are you Kurosaki; with all of the shinigami fluttering around I never thought we’d be the first to get to your death bed."
#31 - Book
It’s when he hears familiar words in Aizen taunts, and a quick double check days later, that Ichigo realizes they have the same rare taste in books.
#32 - Eye
The dust from his eye portrays the images he’s seen but Ulquiorra can’t discern who he covets and who he wishes to be.
#33 - Never
Aizen said no, then he stalled wondering why the boy was even asking him, and then he wondered if the chance was still there.
#34 - Sing
Drunken duets should never be attempted by them, it shouldn’t.
#35 - Sudden
His iPod mutes without his notice; Sousuke just unplugged his headphones and continued to walk alongside.
#36 - Stop
It was a problem they both had when it came to what they wanted to do and how they did everything else, and quite frankly, neither one of them paused to think about what would happen if everything just stopped.
#37 - Time
They had plenty of growing room in their shared cell in the Maggot’s Nest- like the old oak and a sapling in the forest.
#38 - Wash
Aizen won Yuzu over by exchanging the secret to keeping clothes a pristine white for her brother- Ichigo didn’t even know about the transaction.
#39 - Torn
With Karin it was much more difficult but the promise of keeping her friends alive made her trust him just enough to let him see her brother.
#40 - History
Seeing his former enemy teaching a lecture class about the art of was horrifying, especially when the former number one student started yelling that he was sleeping with the teacher for his grade- Ishida never let that one go.
#41 - Power
Everything he ever wanted was just offered to him even if it meant a betrayal of the few shinigami and vizards that were left, but when he took Aizen’s hand it also meant that he could save everyone.
#42 - Bother
Sousuke was convinced that Tousan was insulting Ichigo on purpose but he would soon learn that the chain reaction wasn’t fun (because getting Ichigo to fight was like an open invitation to Grimmjow, and then Neliel had to help protect her friend, Ulquiorra would have to try to stop all of them and then he’d be forced to punish the instigator, after all the buildings were repaired).
#43 - God
Explaining it to Urahara didn’t make him sound any saner- who was a King to argue with God?
#44 - Wall
The last join the would ever smoke in the human world was accompanied by the blasting sounds of Pink Floyd, asking them to answer all those choices he had to make- Ichigo could never imagine the backhanded insults coming from Aizen before the wall was torn down.
#45 - Naked
"I-uh, I swear there is a good reason for this," and he hoped he could come up with one because he never thought that they’d actually come after him this quickly.
#46 - Drive
Sousuke wanted them all to get away from Ichigo and stop ruining his life… even if that meant driving himself away too.
#47 - Harm
To date Sousuke has ten scars, lightly, on his body, from the night he finally pushed Ichigo too far.
#48 - Precious
Zangetsu and the hollow highly approve of Aizen since he can give the attention he needs more than any shallow love, kind affection, or other lifelong friendships others take for granted; he was and is a bright spot in Ichigo’s day.
#49 - Hunger
Curiously he never underwent the hollowfication that he put others through but the gnawing in his stomach just made him want Ichigo to fill that void again.
#50 - Believe
"Have I lied to you any worse than your family has, because, you see, instead of being lead around like a sheep and tamed for wool I much rathered you be a person who knew when to tell me to fuck off; I have not grown much since it became too easy, will you make it hard again?"
