Kenpachi Zaraki x Reader (Fanfiction)

Chapter 12- Final Chapter

"H-How long have you been standing there!!" you exclaimed.

"H-He heard everything.." you thought mortified. 

"How long have you felt that way?" you swallowed at his question. "I-I've felt like that since...since you started training me. " Kenpachi was surprised. He knew you were fond of him. You said that when you had the encounter at the hotspring. A part of him always doubted though, love and like were two completely different things. 

Before you said you liked him, now you straight out yelled out how much you loved him. Kenpachi placed a hand on his forehead. You were just standing there, looking as gorgeous as ever. He couldn't think straight. "Damn you..." your eyes wavered.

"W-Wha-" Kenpachi grabbed your hand, pulling you as he slid a door open. You scanned the empty room as Kenpachi basically shoved you in. You stumbled in behind him. Without a word he shut the door. You stepped back staring at him. "Y-You don't have to be so forceful!" you barked annoyed. You were getting tired of him tugging and pulling you around. 

"Why did you even come back." you muttered, looking away stubbornly.

 "I wouldn't have left if you stopped flirting with that damn striped idiot!" he seethed. 

"I-I only did that because you weren't even paying attention to me!!" you countered. "Even after I said that I liked you...you never once came to visit me. Then w-we got a mission and I thought maybe you were just hoping to spend some time with me. But you kept going on and on about fighting Ichigo and hollows and I.." you clenched your fist in anger. You could feel yourself getting teary again. You held it in.

"You don't even care abou-"

"I do." he interrupted. You watched him in shock. "What..."

"I only took this mission to take you out you stupid brat!"

"DON'T CALL ME STUPID! YOU SHOULD HAVE JUST SAID THAT IN THE BEGINNING!!" you were fuming, eyes looking at him with so much venom. Kenpachi wore a similarly pissed looked. The both of you were just glaring at each other. Your eyes lowered, sighing heavily.

"This entire time...I thought you just didn't care. " A slow recognition crossed Kenpachi's face.

He grunted in annoyance. "I'm not any good at this shit. " You tilted your head, slowly a smile made its way on your lips. "I can tell." you retorted sarcastically. He turned his nose away, making you laugh softly. For someone so big, he sure was acting like a kid. Kenpachi loved hearing your laughter, he enjoyed the look you wore when you were gazing at him even more.

"Did you mean it, when you said you love me?" You weren't expecting him to ask that. You smiled. "Yes I did. I love you Zaraki-taicho. " He faced you. "I love you too brat." you glared at him playfully. "Your confession skills could use some work, but I'll take it."

Your eyes finally really took in the room you were in. There was only one futon on the ground. You looked over at Kenpachi. "Well, I should go and ask that stupid shopkeeper for a room. " Kenpachi said. Before he could turn and leave you grabbed his wrist. "Wait!" Kenpachi stopped, looking down at you. You released his hand quickly, fidgeting in your spot. "W-We can share the futon, i-it's big enough for both of us..." you trailed off nervously.

"Hmm?" Kenpachi smirked. "Are you trying to seduce me?" Your face heated.

"N-NO! I WOULD NEVER TRY SUCH A THING ! I-I WAS JUST TRYING TO-" Kenpachi stepped forward swiping his foot under yours, knocking you off balance. You fell unto the futon with a soft thud. When you opened your mouth to scold him. He was already hovering over your body, eye watching you keenly.
