Man, this took a long time to write...I'm just so not into writing this summer...
BONUS EPILOGUE CHAPTER 2: NNOITRA X TESLA
It was almost midnight in Las Noches (it still looked the same outside, though), and Nnoitra had yet to get even a wink of sleep. He was thinking about Neliel again, like he did every night. He just couldn't forgive himself for having killed the woman he thought he hated, but actually loved more than anyone else in the whole world. The bed creaked slightly underneath his weight as he rolled over onto his side. Nnoitra had never expected being the strongest would take such a toll on his dwindling mental state.
His brooding came to an abrupt end, however, when Nnoitra suddenly heard a knock on the door a few seconds later. Sitting up, the Quinto Espada's single eye glared intensely at the door's backside, waiting for the visitor to actually identify him or herself. There was a slight coughing sound, and then a familiar voice called out to him:
"Nnoitra-sama...it's me, Tesla. Please let me come in. I need to talk to you..."
Nnoitra sighed in relief. "...Enter already."
The door sidled open, and although it was too dark to easily see the fraccion, Nnoitra recognized the peach-scented perfume Tesla always wore. There was a long, tense silence between them. For some reason, Tesla was wearing a long, light-green wig, and shoddy, old attire that Neliel used to wear. Just like the perfume, he was doing this solely to impress his beloved Nnoitra-sama.
A light blush formed on Tesla's cheeks as he stepped a little bit closer. "...Nnoitra-sama...I'm not mad at you anymore for what you did...in fact, I feel flattered...but now I just...I just want to be the 'Neliel' in your heart...I want to love you..."
"...Tesla...you...you..." Nnoitra's eyes began to water. He was struggling so hard to form the words he wanted to say.
"...Yes?"
"YOU CAN'T REPLACE SOMEONE WHO HAD FRICKIN' HUGE TITTIES WITH YOUR LIMP LITTLE BEANSTICK." Nnoitra buried himself back underneath the covers, leaving poor Tesla feeling dejected and bewildered.
