    Summary

    Good kids never stay good kids.
    They grow into broken teenagers, then broken adults-- broken people.

    And broken people? They grow jaded or they die. (Ichigo is a soldier on his last legs).

    Summary

    “What do you need?” Kisuke asks without hesitation. His curiosity—and concern—is piqued. Besides, he owes Ichigo more than he can ever repay, and more than that, Ichigo is…well. Ichigo is his.

    His student. His protégé. In some ways, his creation, though he’s grown beyond what Kisuke ever imagined.

    His in other ways, too, though those are less clearly defined.

    “I’d rather not say over the phone,” Ichigo hedges, and that’s probably not good. There’s a hesitation there, and then a sigh. “You know what, sorry. I’ll figure it out. I don’t know what I was thinking—”

    “Where are you?”

    ---
    OR:

    8 months after Ichigo loses his powers fighting Aizen, Kisuke gets an unexpected phone call. Once again, Ichigo's found himself in danger. Only this time, he's been dealing with it alone. That's unacceptable, as far as Kisuke is concerned.

    for the prompt: "You came."/"You called."

    Summary

    Kisuke kept his distance, did what he was asked.

    And now he needs to see for himself that Ichigo is fine. That Isshin was right and Ichigo is happier like this. That things are better because Kisuke stayed away.

    If that’s true, then to hell with what he wants. He can live with it. He will make himself live with it.

    ---

    *OR*

    Aizen is defeated, the war is over, and Kurosaki Ichigo is powerless. According to Isshin, Ichigo is better off this way. Happier now that he doesn't have to deal with shinigami bullshit and can have a chance at a normal life.

    Isshin lied. Ichigo isn't doing well at all.

    Kisuke is going to fix it.

    Summary

    “They want me to get married,” Ichigo says with the sort of bewildered offense that he often wears after returning from Seireitei. Specifically, whenever he’s been handed orders from Central 46 that he deems bullshit, and which he’s going to do his damnedest to get out of.

    “Did they say who they had in mind?” Kisuke asks, curious. And besides, it’s never too early to start planning how to eliminate a target, should such a thing become necessary.

    “They’re trying to marry me off to Byakuya." Ichigo's face is scrunched up. Confusion or disgust—or some blend of both, ideally.

    “Probably because you insist on calling him by his given name,” Kisuke says, aiming for teasing and landing a little too close to bitter, instead. It’s been years. Years. And Ichigo still predominantly calls him Getaboushi or Urahara.

    ---
    OR:
    Central 46 gets it into their heads that Ichigo would be easier to control if he was married off to someone in the Gotei. Kisuke would rather pull an Aizen and kill every last one of them than let that happen. Luckily, Ichigo is--more or less--of the same mind.

    for the prompt: devotion
