So. I'm working on a Yumichika and Ikkaku fanfiction. And because of that, I am looking into Japanese name calling and use of honorifics. Now I watched Bleach with English dub, I know. Oh, Gelato is a dubber?? Not really. I watch both dub and sub. It's just I watched Bleach with dub because of Johnny Yong Bosch. Because of this, I did not realize this. But Japanese people will not call each other by their first names without honorifics unless they are family or are life long friends. The only exceptions seem to be Ichigo and Ikkaku. Like these two, regardless of how close they really are with other people, have made it a habit of calling them by the first or last name without honorifics. Except if it's to a Captain or someone older than them. Anyways, I noticed this...
Ukitake and Kyoraku - my very first ship out of Bleach. Call each other by their last names without honorifics. Whereas, Yumichika and Ikkaku call each by their first names without honorifics and have done so since their days in Rukongai.
I'm not trying to imply that these two pairs of "lifelong friends" are more than that but...
It is something to note that Shunsui and Jushiro have been friends for longer than Yumichika and Ikkaku have been alive and yet they only call each other by their last names. Not sure if it's a generational thing but it definitely shows how close they are and in conclusion, these two are together.
Hell. Shunsui still visits Jushiro's grave for their daily/weekly tea time. Ikkaku and Yumichika have never been apart longer than five seconds (except in filler) so like, your honor, they are married.
Also their (Ikkayumi) zanpakutos are the reverse colors of each other.
Just an observation.
Stay tuned for an excerpt to see if it's even worth sharing my fanfiction.

Do y'all realize the lvl. of significance of Yumichika appearing before Ikkaku with his hair ruined after Ganju's firework blowing up in his face?!!
Cuz...it means a lot. Gods, I just love their relationship and dynamics

I would like to formally extend a thank you to the person who left two separate comments, two years apart, on the single piece of shitty Bleach fluff fanfic I wrote literally five years ago, to say how sweet it is. ;-;
(and also to the people who, as recently as this morning, are somehow finding it and leaving kudos?)

Yumichika really out there full rage against Toshiro, because Ikkaku had been hurt...
He was going to call out his Zanpakuto's real name!!!
Because Ikkaku was hurt!

I'm jumping on one of my main OTP's again.
Ikkayumi or Yumikkaku
Specifically this chapter scene.
Let's zoom in shall we?
I know comrades or partners will support you when you're injured but.
Considering what we know about Yumichika and his aversion to being dirty. Him even allowing Ikkaku to put his arm around him while covered in his blood and that of his enemy. And yes, I know he doesn't put his arm around Ikkaku. The guy is a bit of a germ freak.
I sincerely doubt he would do this for anyone else besides Ikkaku.
These two are together. They have always been together.

I need fluff. Sweet, wholesome, unequivocal fluff.
Xelfi, ichiishi, zelame, yumikkaku or even rimahiko.
