Touch
Her body goes hot with embarrassment.
I was just... uh, this isn't, um..." She had become a blubbering fool,"...you can go ahead and kill me now."
She desperately wished a hole would suddenly open and swallow her whole. She was an idiot and she wanted to crawl under a rock and never come out again. What was she thinking? She should've never looked for him, she regrets ever looking for him.
"It's okay. Finish." She hears him say.
Her face feels hotter and she could only imagine herself turning redder, but she continues, only touching the places she's allowed to touch.
Her hands aren't soft or smooth— they are rough and calloused, evidence of her extensive training. She isn't incredibly gental either, but he can tell she's trying.
She holds in her breath, her fingers trace his jawline and her eyes soften in awe.
He's beautiful... She can't help but think.
He is enjoying her caress and she returns to his chest. He watches her carefully— she's fascinated and apprehensive. She stops just a shy away from his scar he received from Aizen many years ago and he could see her hesitate. She's afraid.
"Continue." He says, almost too softly to hear, "It's okay."

Upon touching it, her horror betrays her, it was an unsightly thing and her mouth falls open.
The skin was rough and thick and uneven. The wound was so grand she wondered how he managed to survive such a deadly injury.
"Oh..." The word escapes her mouth without intentionally meaning to say it, in a sympathetic and frightened gasp. Realization hit her when the name Aizen popped into her head, she had heard stories of him and she somehow knew he was the one who caused Toshiro this injury. She began to shake.
He's never been fond of that particular scar. It reminded him of his failures of stopping Aizen when he had the chance and his failure of protecting Momo. Watching Karin's reaction only made him feel sick.
He removes her hannds.
"Toshiro I'm-"
"Don't say anything." He didn't want to hear what she had to say.
"But-"
"It's okay... just... I need you to leave."
