Summary
Against all odds, Ichigo’s finding himself attracted to the frankly bizarre man beside him. He’s thoughtful, perceptive, and ridiculously handsome under the bucket hat. Although the reminder of his work – mad scientist under Dr Frankenstein – is chilling.

Summary
“Ichigo,” Kisuke looked supremely amused, grey eyes gleaming, “do recall I can feel your reiatsu. You are distinctly irritated about something that happened. And unless that head injury damaged your memory of the events, you know how dangerous it is to train in new techniques while unfocused or unbalanced.”
Ichigo reflexively rubbed at the back of his head. He certainly remembered. “It’s stupid and teenagery.”
“So?”
“You’re not a proponent of ‘least said soonest mended’, are you?”
“Not for some things. If you’d rather not train and instead go home to angst over it, by all means,” he waved his fan at the door. Chuckled when Ichigo glared at him. “Otherwise, spit it out so I can tease you and we can both move on.”
Ichigo looked away, realized his arms were crossed and that his reiatsu wouldn’t be needed for anyone to read him. “I don’t even know if you’d understand. Might just be a human thing.”

Summary
“Are you actually going to listen or attack again the second you think I’ve dropped my guard enough for a solid hold?”
“Keep that up and I might think we know each other.”
“We do. Did. Would have?” He muttered something that sounded like ‘f*ing time travel’ but there was a small chance she was mistaken.
“According to you, then, what’s our relationship?”
He shook his head. “At the moment? Understandably suspicious Shinigami and soul-scape interloper. Before the attempt was made? Harder to quantify. A weird mix of sometimes close and sometimes casual friends and occasionally annoying siblings.”
Yoruichi’s lips fought for a second to quirk in amusement. That’s probably how most of her friends would describe their relationship with her, if asked while in a mood for honesty.

Summary
Kisuke had not planned this discussion in the least. His voice was cold, the edge of a blade singing along the edges.
Yellow flashed through Ichigo’s irises, face still too bland, too set, too not Ichigo.
“You’ve been running down a list of hobbies, learning how to do them, excel at them or become bored by them and move on. You involve those who care about you—”
Another flash.
“Which has largely reassured them that you’re alright, that you’re coping with everything well, seizing the chance of life with two hands.
“But you haven’t moved forward, have you?” he asked, flinching a bit internally at the bite of his own words.
The blazing, poisonously yellow glare he was given…
“And you care, do ya?” Narrowed eyes, teeth bared in a sneering snarl. “You can take your concern right to hell.”

Summary
Ichigo sleeps, obviously, but—first with the nightmares of his mom dying, and needing to take care of the girls in the middle of the night when they were little, and then Isshin’s increasingly aggressive “training” over the years—he doesn’t sleep deeply. Not in his own house, and certainly not anywhere outside of it either. He’s learned to get shut eye when and where he can, but he’s never so deep under that he can’t snap to awareness in an instant if he needs to.
It often leaves him feeling restless, a little strung out and tense, but it’s fine. He’s gotten used to it. He’s long-since learned how to walk the knife’s edge of exhaustion.
But.
But not at the Urahara Shoten, apparently.

OR:There's only one place in the three worlds where Ichigo can actually get some rest. What starts as a one-off accidental nap turns into a habit.
