Enjoy! Please review! I like this one. Sentence fics are always fun. :-)

Always

No matter how angry she gets, Nanao always comes back to her captain (she doesn't ask herself why, because she's not quite sure if she's ready to face the answer).

Brilliant

Shunsui doesn't think it's fair; Nanao's beauty is not noticed by most other male shinigami, when compared to her flirty and well-endowed best friend Rangiku.

Cruel

Nanao knows he doesn't mean it, but whenever he calls her cruel, it hurts in a way she never expected.

Drink

"Come on, Nanao-chan, have a drink with me. Just one won't hurt."

Extra

Nanao always makes sure to leave him extra hangover tonic when she takes him to his house; she needs him fully functional as soon as possible.

Fly

Shunsui asked Nanao what she would do if she had the chance to do anything. She didn't have to think about her answer before replying. "I would fly, sir."

Grand

The holiday was far too lavish, in Nanao's opinion; "Then again," she muttered as she took in the gaudy pink hearts adorning the walls. "That's probably why he likes it so much."

Haori

Nanao would die twice before admitting it, but she's always secretly wanted him to drape that ridiculous pink haori over her shoulders.

Ice

Shunsui doesn't know how they can't see it: Nanao may look and act like an ice queen, but inside, she's pure fire.

Joke

Nanao isn't sure what she wants to believe: are her captain's affections nothing more than a joke, or is he serious?

Kill

Nanao knows that Shunsui hates killing, and she will go out of her way to make sure he doesn't have to, even if it means bloodying her own hands.

Love

Nanao has been in love with her captain for exactly twelve years, seven months, eight days, nineteen hours, and twenty-seven minutes.

Mark

His shikai activated in a flash of light. "Mark my words, I will make you regret the day you decided to hurt her."

Night

Only Shunsui, Lisa, and Rangiku know that Nanao was afraid of the dark when she was younger; only Shunsui knows that she still is.

Office

Sometimes, Shunsui locks the office door, sits on the couch with Nanao curled up next to him, and reads aloud to her, just like he did when she was a child.

Poetry

She'll never tell him, but she has saved every scrap of poetry he has ever written for her, and has memorized a good third of them.

Queen

Shunsui might be Captain on paper, but everyone knew who the real king of the Eigth Division was; or rather, the queen.

Round

Nanao was the moon, and he was the sun: each was chasing the other, round and round, neither of them willing to bow out of their chase, but not making all that much progress, either.

Skate

One of the best days of his life was when he and Nanao were on a mission in the living world; Yama-jii had given them an extra day to relax, and when he noticed her staring longingly at an ice skating rink, he wasted no time in renting two pairs of skates - the best part was that Nanao couldn't skate, and so she spent the next three and a half hours clutching his arm as he led them around the rink (and the even better part was that, two months later, he discovered that she could skate better than most of the professional figure skaters that were practicing on the ice that day, and had been able to do so since childhood).

Trust

It is a measure of her faith in Shunsui that Nanao has entrusted the sacred job of holding on to her heart to a man that is notorious for being clumsy.

Utopia

Wherever Nanao happens to be is his idea of utopia - whether she's battling an Espada in Hueco Mundo, or logging overtime in the office.

Victory

Shunsui's moment of victory came at the perfect time, in his opinion - they were sitting under the sakura trees (one of those rare moments he'd ever managed to convince her to sit outside with him), and she was laughing at his impression of Yama-jii; her glasses slipped down her nose, and as he'd reached out to push them back up, she looked so breathtakingly beautiful, and the kiss had happened before he really knew what he was doing.

Water

She shrieked as he scooped her up in his arms and, in one smooth motion, turned and threw her into the pool; she came back up sputtering and glaring at him, but her glare quickly dissolved into laughter when Ukitake pushed him in.

Xylophone

Nanao winces - she wonders how much candy Shunsui bribed Yachiru with to convince the pink-haired menace to serenade her with music from that wretched xylophone Rangiku had brought back as a present from the living world.

Yellow

She smiled as he gently tucked a yellow daffodil behind her ear, and listened to him say that, though it was lovely, the flower's beauty could never hope to compare to her radiance; she turned away to hide her blush.

Zinnia

On the day he proposes to her, he puts a boquet of zinnias on the graves of her parents and asks for their blessing - she smiles through her tears and kisses him for being so thoughtful.

A/N: Just a few quick things:

. Daffodils symbolize rebirth and new beginnings

. Zinnias symbolize thoughts of absent friends and lasting affection

. Yes, I am going to make Skate into a cute little one-shot, so be on the lookout for that :-)

Hope you enjoyed! I had lots of fun with this one (especially Skate and Xylophone). Please review!
