Ichigo Kurosaki (Bleach) - Extra 1

It’s been a few weeks since the incident and you feel much lighter. 

You’re also very grateful for Byakuya’s intervention. While he’s very curt with his words and orders, there’s that underlying care that’s forever present. Like whenever he’s around Rukia. Her rank as a Head Captain demands respect, you know that’s why he tends to stick closer. Regardless of how much her abilities have improved, he’s still rather protective of her. 

“Kuchiki-taicho, is there anything else?” 

He shook his head, and Rukia smiled, placing her cup of tea down. 

“You’ve gotten stronger.” 

You blinked, cheeks flushing as you scratched your head. 

“I-I guess so.” 

You’re still getting the hang of controlling said strength. Renji is grinning from his spot and from the look you know he’s about to say something stupid. But the door before you slides open aggressively. 

“WHY THE HELL WON’T YOU GUYS KEEP KENPACHI ON A LEASH!!” 

It’s Ichigo. 

His robes are torn and from the bruises on his cheek, it’s clear he’d made a narrow escape. Rukia looks ready to scold him for his intrusion, but his eyes turn in your direction and he straightens. You’re just sort of staring. While you’re no longer cowering at the sight of him, there’s still a level of intrigue when he does show up. 

“It’s you again..” 

He murmurs. 

You’re once again a bit flustered. You were hoping the next time he showed up you would be more sure, helpful. After all, you owed him at least that much. You’re not sure how to really act, and you just end up bowing. 

“O-Ohaiyo Kurosaki Ichigo!!” 

He sweat drops at the manner of address. 

“Just Ichigo is fine.” 

“Hai, Kurosaki-san.” 

“Ichigo.” 

“Hai!!” 

You still haven’t straightened and he just sighs. Rukia looks a bit relieved, and Byakuya watches silently. 

“You look like crap, you should head over to Hanataro.” Renji advises. Ichigo just looks annoyed and when you rise, you notice that he does look a bit worse for wear. Knowing Kenpachi he probably tossed him around before he managed to get away. 

You realize now that he’ll be off again and you haven’t fully apologized or made up for what happened. 

“This is my chance!” 

“I-I can escort you over Kurosaki-san!” 

Your determination is a bit alarming. 

“I-It’s fine. I know how to get there.” 

He takes a step, but you block his path. 

“Please! Let me escort you!” 

It’s clear that you won’t take no for an answer. Ichigo relents. 

“Fine.” 

He grumbles. 

Your eyes light up as you turn back to Byakuya. 

“I will return with him fully healed Taicho.” 

“I expect nothing less.” Byakuya states. 

You beam, moving back to Ichigo. 

“Let’s go.” 

Ichigo is about to step forward, but he’s startled when you lift him and heave him over your shoulder. 

“W-What the hell!!” 

“You’re injured, leave it to me!!” 

Before he has a chance to complain, you’re gone. Renji just snickers. 

“That poor idiot, now he’ll never get rid of her.” 

That was in fact very true. 

After that encounter, you were stuck to his side throughout every visit. You were keen to know the days he would drop by and you were the first person he would see when stepping out of the gate. You made a habit of getting there before Kenpachi to avoid past situations. 

Ichigo understood that you were just trying to be helpful, apologize, but it seemed that you’d taken it completely to heart. For the next few months with every visit, you were like a maid at his beck and call. He wasn’t sure how to respond, because you’d say outrageous things with a straight face. 

“You look tired, would you like me to carry you?” 

“Your robes are torn, let me sew it for you!” 

“If Kenpachi ambushes you again I will gladly be a decoy and withstand any injury, even death if necessary!” 

“Please let me check your body, you might have other injuries!”

He wasn’t sure how to act. The most recent visit he decided against telling anyone. He just showed up hoping to avoid the hassle. Unfortunately he wasn’t as slick as he thought. He managed one step before you were right in front of him. 

“I knew I felt your reiatsu crossing through the gate. You should be careful, Kurosaki-san. I would hate for you to run into someone like Zaraki-taicho.” 

Running into the crazed reaper felt almost better at the moment. 

“I’ll be fine.” 

He stepped around you and you just trailed behind with a smile. 

There was a part of him that knew he should be happy, after all, you weren’t running away from him or looking at him like he was some monster. The circumstances should be a relief, but at the back of his mind he couldn’t fight the feeling that it was all just a way to make up for it. Even the moments with you that he did enjoy, like when you both stopped by Jushiro’s for a treat.

“Ukitake-taicho this is delicious!” 

You were eating the soup hurriedly. 

“Oii! Slow down, it's hot!” 

Ichigo’s scolding words made you look up with a blink. There was a small piece of beef stuck to your cheek and he reached over with a napkin wiping it off. It was instinctive, at the time it felt no different from what he did for his sisters when they were younger, however the smile you sent him had caught him off guard. 

Your cheeks were red, whether from the steamy meal or your general enjoyment of it all. 

At that moment, all he wanted was to see that again. The pure joy you seem to emit. You looked so carefree and it left a warmth in his chest. 

He didn’t realize how much he appreciated your crazy presence until that moment. That’s why your attentiveness was disheartening, because it wasn’t for him, not really. It was some obligation towards a situation you felt guilty about. 

He stopped abruptly and you did too.

“Is something wrong Kurosaki-san?” 

“You can leave now, I know how to get to the barracks without causing an issue.” 

“It’s really no problem, I’m happy to-” 

“No.”

His tone was firm and he still wouldn’t fully look at you. 

“I’ve got it from here.” 

With a blink, he was gone, flash stepping away. You just stared, a bit unsure of what you’d done because he was clearly upset about something. 

Now without any tasks, you just drifted back to your squad. You tried to rid it from your mind, but it wouldn’t leave you. After an hour or two of moving aimlessly in the sixth squad, you intended to pay Rukia a visit, if nothing but to walk Ichigo back. 

“He’s already left.” 

Rukia’s words confused you because he always came to see you before he would head back. Now you were certain you’d done something wrong. 

You couldn’t leave things like this. 

There was only one thing to do. 

~Karakura Town~

“That was a quick trip, did they get tired of you?” 

Jinta was laughing boisterously. He expected a retaliation, but Ichigo just walked past him. 

“See you later Kisuke.”

He exited the shop, heading down the street. In the back of his mind he understood that it was childish to leave without even telling you, but he couldn’t get his mind to stop thinking about it. 

“Is your hair really natural?” 

“You’re really nice even though you look scary.” 

“T-This candy is melting in my mouth, it's delicious!”

“Don’t worry, I’m sure Zaraki-taicho just really respects your ability, that’s why he tries to kill you every chance he gets.” 

These were all things that you’ve said to him, moments he’d shared. With how crazy your first meeting was, he supposed it made you unapologetically honest, and there was a part of him that appreciated the transparency. 

It just made it harder for him.

The sound of your call was forever engraved in his mind and more than anything, he just wanted it to be more. 

He wanted more.

“Kurosaki-san?

“Kurosaki-san..” 

“Kurosaki-san!!!

The last call had him blinking and he was surprised when you dropped right in front of him. 

“I found you Kurosaki-san! Why didn’t you say goodbye? Is everything alright? Were you injured by Zaraki-taicho again?” 

You moved to check and he stepped back, this time glaring. 

“You don’t have to keep chasing after me, I know you just feel guilty.” 

From your expression it's clear you weren’t expecting that. You seemed hurt, and he immediately regretted it. With a soft exhale, he turned. 

“Forget about it. Just go back.” 

He intended to disappear again, if nothing but to save face. It was wrong to take it out on you, but he was agitated. You following him all the way here was just proof that whatever this was would never be genuine. 

Just as he planned to leave, you grabbed his sleeve and he halted. 

“I-It’s not just guilt.”

Your lips quivered and Ichigo looked down. 

“W-We’re friends aren’t we?” 

You sounded like it would break your heart if he said otherwise. He felt the uncomfortable twist in his gut, because the last thing he wanted was to make you feel bad. He fully turned and you released his shirt. 

You weren’t sure what you were expecting, but a hug wasn’t it. Your eyes were wide, face partially buried into his chest. He was holding you so tightly, and when you felt the soft breath he let out, you found your body relaxing. There was just something right about being this close to him. 

“We’re friends.” 

He finally spoke, and your eyes watered as you returned the hug.

reconcile

day 81 of @118dailydrabble word: reconcile | Gen: Eddie and Chris | rating: G, angst

Eddie peeks into his son’s room and sees Chris is sleeping soundly after the fight they had when Eddie caught him playing video games instead of sleeping.

As hard as it is, Eddie would rather have Chris home and mad at him than in El Paso and mad at him.

Eddie isn’t sure he’ll ever be able to reconcile with his parents for taking Chris.

It’s not that they took Chris—Chris called them and wanted to go. Eddie just wishes they had taken a different approach—wishes they believed him capable of raising Chris and provided support rather than judgement.

Support. That’s all he’s ever wanted from them—is it really too much to ask?

Sadly, yes.

FLYLEAF's LACEY STURM Releases Music Video For New Solo Single 'Reconcile'

Lacey Sturm has debuted a music video for her aggressively introspective new song "Reconcile", a long-awaited follow-up to 2021's "Awaken Love". You can watch the video below.

"My own humanity can be so divided. When I cling to my rights by pointing out the faults of others, I splinter myself. All of this division is rooted in my own pride," Sturm shares. "Have I arrogantly supposed that I could somehow reconcile the world around me if I am not reconciled within myself?"

Lacey's personal process of looking inward to bring herself into congruence with her ultimate human purpose informs "Reconcile". The track is an unflinching mirror held up to the uncomfortable ways in which she acknowledges her own contribution to the world's brokenness through arrogant pride: personal pride, relational pride, religious pride.

The accompanying music is equally visceral, with Josh Sturm's careening guitar riffs and Lacey's gut-punch vocals. The video is a visual representation of the singer's inner fight for personal reconciliation.

As always, the darker reflections are tempered by the hope that comes when she can integrate her ego's death with the life that comes from resurrecting grace.

Lacey says: "As soon as I cultivate peace within myself, the world around me starts falling into peace too— my kids, my family, my friends, the person at the checkout in the grocery store."

That humble wisdom has been learned through many years of experience and growth. Perhaps fittingly, "Reconcile" is releasing as Sturm partners with FLYLEAF (the band she founded) for reunion dates this summer. As has been shared in a multi-part video documentary, the experience of being in a massive band like FLYLEAF was a lesson in the reality that no mortal can save the world.

"It causes a mental health crisis when we mortals are trying to change the world, but all the while we're neglecting the life that's within us," Lacey says earnestly. "I'm not actually saving the world when I think of myself as some godlike savior. Ultimately, I end up losing my humanity in that hypocritical process. I am neglecting life while I'm telling them to live."

For Lacey, the answer has become painfully, perfectly clear: "I have to die to myself before I can live."

[kingdomoftheheavens]

I will now, in my own heart, become a hypocrite because others in authority say I should.  I must overlook the continued existence of a justified grudge another believer holds against me and return to ordinary service in the church.  But I will not cover up my hypocrisy.  I hereby declare my hypocrisy openly.  My reckless words have seriously wounded a much younger sister in Christ whom I, in fact, love.  The wound is so deep that, in spite of my best efforts to seek reconciliation, she will likely never forgive me.  I’m old.  I don’t have much longer to be in this world. So, I have the permanent and unwashable guilt, in this world, at least, of placing what may become a long lifetime of bitterness—and all the tortures that go with it—on a much younger sister whom I love. This is a very heavy burden for me. And  I still think this disqualifies me from most service in the church. I nevertheless must serve,

[xinheartswakeex]

I don't understand why I want someone back in my life who was never truly a friend to me? They were envious and selfish. Never allowed me to truly move forward in my life and always made me spend my money when I was friends with them.

Like why does my brain keep wanting me to reconcile with them when clearly there's no benefit in this friendship.

We've evolved and grown.

We're in different stages in life now..

But a part of me wants my friend back to attend my special day with me.

Idk.
