Hello everybody! This is my first anime fanfiction since I made a TV series-based fanfiction before. XD

I had been wanting to write fanfictions about my favorite Bleach couples so I decided to do so. :D

So..enjoy reading! *winks* Care for some reviews? comments? or faves? :3

DISCLAIMER: BLEACH is not mine. The plot in each encounter belongs to me.

Encounter 1: Dinner

Neliel's eyes were scanning the vegetable counter thoroughly to find the ingredients for tonight's special dish.

"Oi Neliel, you've been staring at the veggies for a very long time. Those shit might wilt if you stare too long." Nnoitra annoyingly scratched his head.

Neliel didn't bother listening to her husband's qualms; she nodded in response as she picked some fresh cabbage.

"What's our dinner for tonight?" Nnoitra curiously asked.

"You'll see. It's a surprise." Neliel said as she checked 'cabbage' on her list. She continued walking towards the seasonings section.

"Tsch." Nnoitra grunted as he followed his wife.

Nnoitra's gaze was focused on his wife…his 4 months pregnant wife. Her tummy had started growing. In a few months, they will be expecting a bouncing baby in their lives.

Neliel's been craving for too much food lately as Nnoitra observed. Yesterday, they ate Yakisoba for lunch. Later that night, Neliel forced Nnoitra to buy and eat Ramen for dinner…of course the irritated Nnoitra got pissed at first because of his wife's unusual cravings but then he realized how difficult it was for Neliel to carry a child in her tummy so off he went to buy Ramen. Just when he was about to ignite the engine, he hurriedly went back inside their house, opened the door relentlessly which made Neliel surprised.

"What? Forgotten something?"

Nnoitra grabbed Neliel's hand which made her taken aback upon his sudden action. She entwined her hands on his.

"Where are we going?"

"It's not a good idea to leave a weakling like you alone." He said as he opened the door widely.

"H-huh? You know I can manage myself." Neliel locked the door then slid the keys on her pocket.

"You and your worthless pride and shit." Nnoitra rolled his eyes then opened the car's door.

Nnoitra ignited the engine then started driving. Neliel was quiet along their way, her eyes staring at the passing views outside which made Nnoitra frown in confusion. But then he ignored her odd expression, thinking she was having some mood swings or whatsoever.

Nnoitra stared at his wife as Neliel examined the two different bottles on her hand. Her soft, teal and wavy locks flowing from her shoulders down her waist…her thin brows knitted in confusion…her golden eyes perplexed…her perfectly shaped nose wriggled…and her pinkish soft lips slightly opened. Her cheeks were a bit plump due to her never-ending cravings for food but still she remained gorgeous. She would always receive glances from people adoring her beauty…and at times, perverted stares from men which made him glare at them murderously. It irritates him that Neliel was way too attractive enough that people stared at her in awe…'What was so great about her?' He mused but then realization hit him…making him realized how lucky he is to have Neliel as his wife…not only because she's like a goddess of beauty but her simplicity, gentleness and strong-willed nature made him fell in love with her.

"Nnoitra." Neliel poked his cheeks gently.

Nnoitra was caught off guard. He was staring intently at his stunning wife, their faces were only inches away, and their warm breathes touching their cheeks.

"D-damn you Nel. You're taking too long for that fuckin' bottle!" His tone with exasperation. He turned away from her; hiding his blushing face.

"And you had been staring absentmindedly on me for quite some time." Neliel chuckled. "Now you realized how attractive your wife is." She chuckled again. "We're done. Let's go home now." Neliel happily placed a seasoning bottle on their basket held by Nnoitra.

"Fuck off. Who says you're pretty." Nnoitra looked away from Neliel's chuckling face. Neliel smiled in return then took her husband's warm hand…entwined in his long fingers.

When the couple arrived at their home, Nnoitra placed the groceries on the dining table while Neliel sat in their couch, fanning herself with her hand.

"Nnoitra….water. I'm…thirsty." Her voice exhausted. She suddenly touched her tummy, feeling her precious baby inside her.

Nnoitra rolled his eyes, here she goes again. "Tsch. Fine." Demanding things as if he's her slave. "This is yours Nnoitra! It came from you! It's your fault" Neliel's voice resounding on his ears again as he poured the water in the drinking glass. He sat beside her then handed the glass of water to her thirsty pregnant wife. "Thanks, Nnoitra dear."Neliel pecked him on his cheek, drank the water then proceeded to the kitchen.

"Done! Now take a seat dear." Neliel happily motioned her husband to seat while she was holding a pot; she gingered her way to the table.

Nnoitra obediently sat on his usual place in the dining table; he was too hungry to argue with his wife. Neliel opened the pot. It didn't have any food…only boiling soup was seen inside the pot. Nnoitra's brows furrowed.

"Are you toying with me huh? There's no food-"

"Oh, wait." Neliel went back to the sink to retrieve the seafood, vegetables and meat then off she sat across his annoyed and hungry husband.

"We'll gonna eat that raw food?!" Nnoitra exclaimed.

"Of course not." Neliel smiled and sat next to Nnoitra.

"We'll eat Nabe tonight." Neliel gleefully put the seafood first, followed by the meat and vegetables.

"NELIEL! YOU'RE STUPID! WHY ARE YA PUTTIN' THOSE SHIT AT ONCE?!" Nnoitra shouted as he held on Neliel's wrist.

"It's correct Nnoitra. I have to put all of these inside the pot." Neliel answered as Nnoitra gently took his hand away from Neliel's wrist.

"Whatever." Nnoitra grunted. "Who's in the fucking right state of mind will eat this kind of food…"

"I saw this on TV yesterday, then I phoned Halibel too since she knew how to make this. Don't you know what Nabe symbolizes?" Neliel curiously asked.

Nnoitra sighed exasperated then looked away. "I don't fuckin'care 'bout it."

"You know, Nabe represents a happy bonded family eating together since we eat in the same pot…" Neliel paused and held Nnoitra's hands. Nnoitra turned to Neliel; surprised by her sudden sweetness…then his eyes met hers. Neliel smiled beautifully.

"….that's you and I, Nnoitra." Neliel took his long hands then placed it in her tummy. "…and this baby."

Nnoitra felt how his wife's abdomen had grown. Her flat tummy had grown like a balloon being pumped with air. It felt warm on his palms. "You've grown fat aren't ya Neliel." He said.

"Shut up. Of course I'm pregnant, silly." Neliel giggled as she took some egg on the tray next to the pot. Nnoitra immediately gripped her hand gently and pulled her to a kiss.

How was it? XD Just let me know if you want me to continue this. :)))
