The Trouble With Love
Disclaimer: I do not own the marvellous Bleach. If I did, I'd be out spending my money, not writing fanfics.
Summary: Love is the deepest of emotions. But sometimes it isn't what you need… or want. This is a collection of the various Bleach characters getting really deep.
Warning: rated T just to be on the safe side. Gets pretty angsty in places. It would be totally spoiler-ific -if that were a real word- but real word or not, there are spoilers right up to the recent episodes.
Pairings: quite a few, but also a bit of sibling love, and just love in general. Individual pairings on the top of each piece.
A/N: before trying this, I have only ever written comedy ones. This is my first serious fic, so I'm sorry if it sucks.

'I love you.'
Saying the words is easy. After all, they're just words. Those three words can mean a million things but at the end of the day, they're just a group of randomly connected sounds. Who knows why they were put together in such a way? The way to express 'Love (n) 1. a strong feeling of affection for someone' couldn't be more simple.
What isn't simple is what comes next. How do you return this love? How do you give it and take it? How do you keep it secret? How do you let go of it at the end?
For some people love is like a fairytale. Those people have no idea how lucky they are. Love is the deepest of human emotions: more self consuming than hatred, more terrifying than fear. The love itself blooms, grows, but sometimes mutates. Jealousy, anger, betrayal. All further derivatives of that simple word 'Love'.
Love makes people do crazy things. It makes them not do anything at all. It makes them say things they regret. It makes them regret not saying anything.
The people you fall in love with don't always catch you. Sometimes they can't. sometimes they're not even there. Sometimes they tell you to jump.
'I love you, Rukia.'
'I love you, Ichigo.'
'I love you, nii-sama.'
'I love you, Hisana.'
'I love you, Hinamori.'
'I love you, Aizen-sama.'
'I love you, taichou.'
'I love you, Ken-chan.'
'I love you.'
'I love you.'
'I love you.'
Sometimes love works. But not for everyone.
The heralds of death, those beings who died long ago, is it possible for them to feel love?
They know it is. But what many of them don't know is if it's possible to feel love, and still feel happiness at the same time…
