Pain.
That's all he's feeling right now.
Just pain.
Nnoitra Jiruga, the quinto espada, lied defeated on the ground after his fight against the 11th division captain.
The strangest thing was, what was on his mind wasn't the fight or the shingami or even Neliel.
It was Tesla that burned in his mind.
Images of Tesla flowed through his mind. When he first met Tesla, when Tesla became his fraccion, when he first had sex with Tesla, when Tesla was disobedient, when Tesla was cut down.
"Tes…la", Nnoitra croaked out. He looked up, seeing that the shingami and the others were gone. He see's Tesla's body, which is covered in gore and is not moving at all.
He started dragging himself to his fraccion's body, wanting to see him one last time. He found it strange that Tesla was on his mind. What was stranger was he was remembering whenever he and Tesla had sex; the blonde will always say "I love you". His usual response was telling Tesla to stop being so stupid and a bonk on his head. But, now…he wanted nothing more to say those words back.
There were times when he wanted to tell Tesla just how important he was to him. But his pride always stopped him. He didn't want to seem weak or soft, especially to his fraccion. But, right now, it didn't seem to matter. It didn't matter at all.
Nnoitra finally got to Tesla's body and laid right next to him, his breathing labored from the strain. He reached out to cup Tesla's cheek, which to his horror was cold.
"Tesla", Nnoitra whispered, "You're dead, huh?" Nnoitra let out a throaty chuckle and then coughed up blood. He wheezed for a couple of minutes and continued.
"You know, Tesla. I actually gave a damn about you…well…besides fighting. You were always following me, you with your damn cute smile. You did everything I told you too, without a single complaint. You never fuckin complained."
Nnoitra turned to look at Tesla face, nothing more than to see that blue eye that always seemed to smile. He starts stroking Tesla's blond locks, which were also stained with blood.
"Not only that, whenever we fucked, you always said that you loved me. I never said that back because… I didn't want to feel like a pansy. Funny, how all this shit hit the fan."
Nnoitra then took Tesla's body in his arms, putting Tesla's head to his chest.
"I know I'm kind of fuckin late with this Tesla. But, I really do love you." Nnoitra then gives a throaty chuckle, "Yeah, I really do fuckin love you."
" N…Nnoitra-s…sama?"
Nnoitra pulled back and see's Tesla eye open, blurred with tears and exhaustion.
"Do…Do you mean it, Nnoitra-sama?"
Nnoitra scoffed, "I wouldn't have said if I didn't mean it, idiot."
Tesla gave a small smile, as he knew this was a typical response from the espada.
"I love you too, Nnoitra-sama".
Nnoitra gave a smile as he held Tesla closer to him, wiping a tear from the fraccion's face.
"Wherever you go, Nnoitra-sama, I will follow.
Nnoitra chuckled a little.
"Yeah, next time…Tesla…we'll fuck them up good…together."
Tesla chuckled to himself.
"Of course…Nnoitra-sama."
The two arrancar drew in their last breath and closed their eyes, forever in an eternal embrace.
AN: I kept seeing fanfics with Tesla going to Nnoitra after the fight with Kenpachi. So, this time I did with Nnoitra. I hoped i put him still in character. I don't own bleach!
