[Ichigo x Reader] Comfort One-Shot

You had done it. You finally killed your [important person]. You killed [person's name] by your hands. You were the last of your only family. You had no one left. No one.

Your job was done. You did what you had to.

With Ichigo in the sidelines, watching the battle unfold from the beginning, he made his way to you. You held onto your [important person] loosely, and stared down at him/her with blank eyes. Turning to face Ichigo, you asked of him, "Ichigo, can you help me bury him/her?"

Unable to refuse your question, Ichigo replied a yes, and helped carry the corpse to a good place for a burial.

After patting the dirt and placing a small block of wood with nothing, you clapped your ahnds free of dirt and got up.

"You okay, [surname]?"

"Yeah."

Walking away to home, Ichigo grabbed your wrist, causing you to look back at him in slight surprise, and he pulled you into his chest.

"Wha-?"

"Don't lie to yourself, [name]. Just cry out your feelings."

And then he began to stroke your hair softly, with each stroke breaking you down. Tears flowed out silently as you sobbed in hics, your arms snaking themselves hesitantly to Ichigo's waist. You gripped onto his shirt, wailing, and crying your heart out without a hint of shame.

"I-It's not fair! Why did I have to kill him/her?! He/She was my only family! My only purpose for living was to kill him/her! I-I don't know what to do with myself anymore! I don't have a reason to live anymore, Ichigo!!"

"Then I'll be your reason to live. You live for me. And I live for you."

Ichigo stared intently into your eyes, and wiped away a few of your tears.

Feeling yourself smile, you snuggled into Ichigo's chest and murmured a Thank You.
