#my problem. slash confusion is on it being “closest to canon” because it's. not

[cannimumsable]

Td//momo is much like Bk//camie, it's talked abt like it's canon bc the other guy doesn't have an "official" female love interest so the first woman that he interacted with is forever his destined wife lmao

Though i can see why someone would like them, they give jaded prince/warrior princess vibes

???? in what beautiful world do you live where baku/camie is considered close to canon by some people

It’s Gonna Be OK

"honestly the only request i have is a continuation of this, of a sorts. honestly id love to see some balance of taking care of jushiro and like......him returning the favor in some way? even if its not much, i just really want some soft and sweet established relationship jushiro stuff, with an oc or a canon character or whatever please?" - "MizORbust” on AO3

Ch. 1 “More than Just “Close”

Hibiki prided themself on being able to read people. Which is why they knew, from the instant they and Jushiro locked eyes, that he was a complete. And total. Fucking LIAR.

Hibiki was a low-ranking soul reaper at the time, just graduated from the academy. It wasn’t their first mission, but it was the first one this big. It was the first one that required a Captain. A menos had entered the World of the Living, and their team was in charge of keeping wholes and humans safe and away from the fight.

It was going well. Hibiki had their guard down, trusting that, since the more powerful reapers were fighting the hollow, they could pay attention solely to their assignment. They learned their lesson thoroughly -- always pay attention to the enemy.

They were flash-stepping back into the battlefield to rescue the ghost of a teenage boy when the menos fired the cero. They noticed in time to throw the boy… But Hibiki got hit.

It burned. Their left side was on fire! It felt like their entire rib cage was broken, and their left leg definitely was. Hibiki blacked out after hitting the ground.

The next thing Hibiki could remember was seeing the pretty, white-haired captain leaning over them. He was carrying them somewhere. He looked down, and they met eyes for the first time. He smiled sweetly and said, “You’re okay. Everything is okay.” Hibiki smiled sweetly back. ‘Fucking liar’ They actually almost laughed, because… even in this situation… He was actually really convincing! Oh, wow… If they were any less perceptive… they would’ve believed him -- Completely!

And it didn't end there. To Hibiki’s astonishment, he actually came to check on them! And every time he did, he always snuck some sweets in with him. And he’d tell them how quickly they were recovering. And how well they were doing at getting their strength back. Even though Hibiki knew it was taking them a normal amount of time... That fucking liar. … He always made them smile.

And because they knew he was doing it to cheer them up, they went along with it. And because Hibiki was pretty good at manipulating people themself, they got away with it, too.

Finally, when Hibiki was cleared to return to their squad, they found a small party waiting for them. And he was there… of course he was. They smiled.

It was really just a dinner and some drinks. Hibiki talked with the squad mates they were closest to, but eventually found themself and Captain Ukitake talking in-depth on his story “Sōgyō no Okotowari.” They hadn’t had much else to do while stuck in bed but read, and it was actually quite good. Though, they were confused about one thing: “Where do you get the time to write?” “Oh…” He was hesitating. “I have a chronic illness that… Keeps me in bed for extended periods of time -- but it’s nothing you need to worry about!” “... “ Hibiki smirked, “You’re lying again.”

The Captain stared at them. But instead of denying it, “Again?” He smiled that sweet -- lying -- smile of his, “Whatever do you mean by that? I haven’t lied -- least of all to you!” “Really~…?”They narrowed their eyes at him. He was getting nervous now. Just slightly. But they were far from shaking him. Hibiki shrugged, “Sorry. Must have been my imagination.”

The next time they’d meet would be, once again, during a mission. A slew of hollows were attacking a populated area, and a large number of soul reapers were needed to combat them. Hibiki was a better fighter by this point, though nowhere near the level of a seated officer. But they were good enough to lead a team of their own in this situation.

One of their less-experienced comrades was attacked by a hollow much too strong for them. And, once again, Hibiki leapt into the line of fire to save someone -- and got hurt themself. This time, they were bleeding. It’s claw had slashed their stomach open. And once again, Captain Ukitake was nearby and carried them to safety. But… He was coughing… Coughing up blood.

Their eyes met again. He was frowning, worried. Hibiki smiled at him, and said with their most convincing -- lying -- expression, “It’s gonna be ok…” His eyes twitched. His mouth opened just a bit. And his face froze in that surprised expression for a couple seconds -- then broke into a smile. ‘Well, whaddaya know… He almost laughed.’ “Yeah…” And that was all he said to them for a long time.

But well… That’s an entirely different story.
