Masculinity is a man's stupid way of proving their worth to a woman. They flex their arms to show off their muscles. Mine must be larger. They arm wrestle to prove strength that I can easily overpower.
I must be bigger, better, stronger. All for my Orihime.
My Orihime has many suitors, all who are oblivious to my feelings just as she is. All the men join me in the dance of battle, hoping to overpower me and win my Orihime's heart.
I won't allow it. I will protect her for as long as I possibly can. I won't allow any of them to hurt her. Without redemption.
During our many tournaments I face off with them, determined to vanquish the uprising. They don't have the same drive as I do. The sheer need to capture Orihime's free heart.
All they do is hurt my Orihime.
She runs to me, tears staining her porcelain skin. She cries because of what they've done. How they've cheated, lied, ignored. She cries because of their rash actions. She only cries for them.
Retribution will come.
