Kenpachi Zaraki: Fluff Headcanons

CW: None, GN Reader-Insert

A = Admiration (what do they absolutely adore about you?)

If you're a member of his squad, he would admire your strength with how you can keep up with everyone else, as well as the few times he sparred with you. Mainly, your Bankai would probably intrigue him the most so he can fight against one.

B = Body (what is their favorite part of your body?)

He doesn't really have a favorite part, but if he absolutely had to pick, it'd probably just be your hair. Since he towers over everyone, he likes to run his hand through your hair a lot.

C = Cuddling (how do they like to cuddle?)

When he's in the mood, he really likes to hold you close against his open chest, claiming it's only so you can stay warm. Yachiru is quick to make fun of him for it, though.

D = Dates (what does their ideal date with you look like?)

Kenpachi isn't really a "romantic" guy, so just spending time with him equates to a date in his eye(s). When he's alone with you without Yachiru or anyone else, he just kinda spars with you, and then after takes you out to eat.

E = Emotions (how do they express emotion around you?)

Kenpachi is a physical guy, and that goes for affection as well. Head pats, side hugs, holding you close, and kisses when no one is looking.

F = Family (do they want one? If they do, when?)

If you're close enough to the point Yachiru likes you, he would already see you three as a sort of family, being perfectly content with how things are.

G = Gifts (how do they feel about gift giving? What are their habits when it comes to this?)

Kenpachi isn't especially enthusiastic about receiving or giving gifts, since he isn't really perceptive to others interests or has a need for anything specific. He'll usually be satisfied with good food or a fight, and he'll usually try to give you a decent day with him.

H = Holding Hands (when/how do they like to hold hands?)

Kenpachi isn't very into holding hands, but he'll usually only do it when you're scared and he wants to comfort you.

I = Injury (how would they act if you got hurt?)

He'd be acting like he doesn't care, but he'd carry you so you don't hurt yourself more, be by your bedside if it's that serious, or just straight up try to cheer you up. He'd fail, but you appreciate him for trying.

J = Jokes (do they like to joke around with or prank you? how?)

He isn't a big fan of jokes or pranks (mainly cuz he can't make them easily), but if you tell a joke, he'd burst out laughing so you wouldn't be disappointed. As for him, he'd threaten to kill you if you took his last snack, but you wouldn't get the joke most times.

K = Kisses (how do they like to kiss you?)

Kenpachi is very forward. When he wants to kiss you, he'll grab the back of your head and give you the most gentle kiss ever. Since he's never done it before, he'll do his best not to be rough and try not to make it long.

L = Love (how do they show you they love you?)

Kenpachi has an odd way of showing love. At first, it'd be simple touches with the occasional kiss. After the Quincy attack, he'll be more outward to show his affection, at least five kisses a day, head pats constantly, and making sure you're okay.

M = Memory (favorite memory together?)

Probably the first time you sparred. You didn't waver, even after he slashed you across your shoulder. While you weren't the strongest Soul Reaper, you definitely piqued his interest.

N = Nightmare (what is their worst fear?)

Kenpachi didn't really have any nightmares concerning you, probably only the fact you wouldn't be able to keep up with him. After the Quincy War, however, the following year was him waking up in cold sweats and making sure you're still around.

O = Oddity (what is one quirk they have?)

Kenpachi has the strangest habit of slashing at bells. You really don't understand why, especially since he wore them at one point.

P = Pet Names (what do they like to call you?)

Kenpachi isn't really big on pet names or stuff like that. He'll really only call you by your name, and it's only after long periods of time he'll think of a shorter version of it. Even if you have a short name, he'll find a way.

Q = Quality Time (how do they like to spend time with you?)

Kenpachi really just likes to relax in his free time with you. He'll try to squeeze in at least one or two fights, but if you can't go on, he'll settle with small cuddles and eating together.

R = Random (a random thing only you would know about them)

Kenpachi (within the first year or two after the Quincy War) accidentally called you "Yachiru" from time to time, mainly cuz you're shorter than him and the light of his life after her disappearance.

S = Secrets (how open are they with you?)

Kenpachi doesn't really have secrets with you, because even the "darkest" secrets are things you could have guessed or not that bad, like him killing a few people here and there.

T = Time (how long did it take you to get together?)

It takes AWHILE, mainly because Kenpachi has to take in the idea of "romantic love", as well as viewing you in that way. From your first meeting to your first official "date", it will probably take two years of knowing each other. Another two before you make it official.

U = Upset (how do they act when you’re upset?)

If someone or something has you upset, he'll try his best to comfort you through the sadness, before going out to "talk" to the person or vent his anger by taking it out on a squad member.

If he's made you upset, he'll keep his distance, mainly because he'd be confused on what he did, but eventually he'll realize it and make it up to you by taking you out to a quiet place together or try to cook for you. He fails, but it's the attempt that counts.

V = Vaunt (what are they proud of? Do they like to show you off?)

Kenpachi really only shows off his own strength, so unless you give him the challenge of a lifetime, he probably wouldn't bring up the fact you're an item.

W = Warrior (how do they feel about you fighting? Would they fight for you, beside you, etc?)

Kenpachi would absolutely love to see you fight, especially against him. Since you're one of the only people that can get him to take off the patch, he'll be ecstatic, even though you go down quickly after.

Your Bankai is what really gets him, since he's really interested in the idea and power behind it. The only time he'll fight FOR you is when someone upsets you to the point of tears, or when you're down after a major battle.

AFTER The Quincy War, you're staying home and where he can see you for the next year, he does not want to lose you.

X = X-Ray (how well are they able to read you?)

Kenpachi, surprisingly, is very good at reading your composure most days. It usually only takes a glance to understand your feelings, and maybe because of his many years of battlefield analysis or just something to do with you.

Due to this incredible sense, he'll usually match your energy most days or try and get you to perk up when you're with him.

Y = Yes (how would they propose to you?)

During the timeskip between the Arrancar and Fullbring Arcs, Yachiru would jokingly say "If you love 'em so much, why don't you marry 'em?"

Kenpachi thinks about it for about a week, before eventually popping the question in the most casual way, not even kneeling or bothering with a ring.

Z = Zen (what makes them feel calm?)

He'll never admit to his other squad members, but touching his abs or hair relaxes him immediately. It makes him feel proud of his strength in protecting you, but the gentle touch of his hair makes him think you like it long and down.
