Ahem, this story came about because the author's loving, sensitive eyes spotted some romantic tension with their titanium-alloy dog eyes~~
No explanation needed for Senbonzakura automatically releasing its Shikai, with one hand on Byakuya's right shoulder and the other wrapped around its master's waist to block the fatal blow from Kouga!
No explanation needed for Byakuya's "Don't even think about it" when Kouga says he'll control Senbonzakura!
No explanation needed for Senbonzakura's stance beside Byakuya during Senkei!
No explanation needed for Senbonzakura kneeling to support that certain iceberg!
No explanation needed for that certain iceberg suddenly saying, "I'm fine"!
No explanations needed for any of it!
The author is a sucker for pretty faces. I don't actually like Senbonzakura's Lanling King mask, but those lovely eyes during its first confrontation with Ichigo, and that beautiful chin and those lips in the latter half... No wonder it's Lord Byakuya's sword, it's gorgeous... [fist pump]
Such a loving pairing, so in sync, of one heart and one body! Why has nobody written about them...? So I decided to do it myself. Ha! Forget all that stuff about Blue and Silver, Little White, Renji, Ukitake, Hiyori, and Kenpachi, it's all nonsense! Put together all the dialogue between these two, and it's the perfect example of a loyal-dog top and a prickly bottom!
You ask why Byakuya is the bottom? Well... haha... um...
[Sure, Byakuya is basically a brick: wherever a top is needed, just bring him in... But someone like me, who naturally prefers bottoms, especially bottoms who get put through the wringer... A prickly, scheming iceberg like him... How could he possibly be the top?]
