The Pain of having a heart (Sosuke Aizen x reader) [Wattys 2016]

Forty-second Act, You've always been mine

(A/N: The poll from Chapter 36 comes back cause I didn't get enough answers ta make a decison...so, who will you choose? Fox!Gin or a green-haired Gin with the appearance of some sort of mafia boss? Comment away!)

We watched the snow fall from the sky for quite a while, pointing out some pretty snowflakes that stood out from the crowd of white powder.

"That one kinda reminds me of you, Aizen." I said, gesturing to an intricately designed snowflake with blade-like ends.

"Why so?" He asked, putting on his oh-so-adorable curious face. Oh my gosh...I think my heart just left the earth.

My face heated up, and my mind went blank and foggy. "Um...er...w-well, like the blade-shaped p-parts of t-the ah...."

He chuckled, amused (or he thinks that it is cute) at my flustered state. "Come on, tell me. How are we alike?"

Oh no...he's smiling. My heart just blasted away farther from earth. "...a-as I was saying...you're tough...but like the design on the-"

Aizen gently leaned his forehead against mine, locking his beautiful brown orbs with mine. "...so you're saying I'm delicate?"

My face turned into an even deeper shade of red. "N-No, but...ugh, I can't explain!"

He kissed the tip of my nose, making jitters run all over me. "I'm not delicate as you think I am, (name)."

I pouted, but then it slowly turned into a frown. I am in no way wrong. He's more delicate than he thinks. From everything that Gin told me...and the events that had happened...

...it made it clear that he was hurt easily if he has someone whom he cares about. He's scared of being left alone after it had scarred him so much.

No one has seen him cry before, however...but if you break him apart enough...

Even the most powerful zanpakuto can't cut him...it's your impact on his heart that can.

"Is something bothering you?" He asked, snapping me out of my thought bubble. There was a slightly concerned look on his face.

I quickly replaced my frown with a smile, planting a kiss on his nose which surprised him. "I haven't returned the favor, creepzen."

A small smile appeared on his lips, leaning closer to my ear (his cheek brushing against mine in the process) to whisper something.

"What date is it today?"

"Judging from the snow...it's December. Why are you asking me that, Aizen?" I said, a little confused. It's something he's supposed to know already...

Suddenly, his zanpakuto (tucked into its sheath, duh) materialized out of nowhere, making me let out a strangled scream.

"What are you doing?! Weapons aren't allowed in here-" I hissed, but he cut me off with a finger to the lips.

Then he unsheathed Kyoka Suigetsu a little, revealing part of the blade. "Just trust me. Keep your eyes on the zanpakuto."

I dunno what slipped into his sane mind, but I decided to listen to him. "Shatter, Kyoka Suigetsu." He whispered, then the blade shattered as if it had broke.

When I glanced up at the surroundings, spring had suddenly taken over. Cherry blossoms drifted in the air and the spring breeze tickled my face.

It all seemed so real...the wind didn't feel sheer cold at all. The sky was a bright blue instead of a dull gray.

"Even though I know this is an illusion....it's amazing!" I exclaimed, catching a petal with my palm.

He gave me a smile, wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his face on my shoulder. "I thought you should see spring ahead of time."

Ahead of time...? But why? I can wait 'till March rolls by for the actual season to take over...was something going to happen?

I just let out a sigh, holding both of Aizen's hands. I was about to close my eyes and let myself relax in his arms,

When he planted a kiss on my neck. I blushed then elbowed him on the stomach so hard that he flinched. "Aizen, no. Just no."

He put on a teasing smirk and wrapped his arms around me, attacking me with kisses. "H-Hey!!! There are people around, ya creep!!!"

This is waaaaaay more embarrassing than being carried like a kid..."OI!!!! Can we do this inside where it's private?!" I yelled, absolutely flustered.

"Oh, alright. Why aren't you used to these kind of things? We've done this many times already..." He whipered, a teasing tone in his voice.

I elbowed him again, enhancing its strength with my reiryoku. He lurched backwards, hugging his stomach. Okay, not a good idea.

"My goodness...I'm sorry!!! Are you hurt-"

His soft lips crashed against mine, catching me off guard. When he let go, there was a triumphant smirk on his lips.

"An important rule in combat: never let your guard down."

I hit him on the arm, veins popping on my head. "THIS SITUATION IS DEFINITELY NOT COMBAT, AIZEN!!!"

He just let out an amused (teasing?) laugh. "Same, same. Come on, let's go in. You said you needed a little privacy...right?"

I groaned in frustration, clutching on his arm. "Fine, fine! I'll do whatever it takes just to stop you from bombarding me with kisses."

He chuckled and muttered someting, which is probably Kyoka Suigetsu's release chant. In a flash, the image of spring shattered into little pieces, replaced by winter.

A blast of ice-cold air blew on me, sending chills throughout my whole body. "Yeesh, it's so cold!!! Walk faster, slowpoke creep!"

He put an arm around me and pulled me a little closer to him. "There. Are you still feeling the cold?"

I have to admit, this was pretty sweet of him. I was expecting another kiss and some cheesy love line to follow it.

I nodded, leaning my head against his body. "Yeah, yeah...thank you, Aizen."

He gave me a smile, neither teasing nor triumphant, but a relieved one. He must've thought I would blow my top if he did this.

Nah, every moment I have with him is something that is to be treasured. After all, I love him so much!

Having a wide smile on my lips, I hugged him. He was a little surprised, but then he kissed the top of my head.

"You'll never forget me....right?" He asked.

Never...forget him? Of course I won't. He gave me a lot of wonderful memories, but even if those are lost...the Sosuke Aizen in the middle of it all will never be forgotten.

"How could I? You mean a lot to me. But the question is...will you forget me?"

Opening the door to the hospital, he gave me a mysterious yet beautiful smile.

"I will never forget you."

Yeeeeah, I'm done! So...have you thought about which Gin are you gonna pick? If you have, comment away! I really need your answers! Anyways...I hope you enjoyed today's chapter! See ya next update! ~TheFanfictionAzure29
