In the two millennia that Jyuushirou has known Shunsui, it still amazes him that the other captain can find lakes and groves of trees and fields of flowers that neither of them have seen before.
Shunsui still can't understand how, after being ill, Jyuushirou can get into a fight (on his own, against more than one person - or hollow) and win without even getting out of breath.
Jyuushirou remembers fondly just how drunk Shunsui got that night, and just how Byakuya reacted.
Shunsui doesn't believe a word of it, despite having three witnesses to the fact, all of them sober.
Both of them attained shikai simultaneously. Both of them are the only two shinigami in Sereitei to have double zanpakutous. Neither of them knows why.
Sometimes, the amount of sake Shunsui can consume totally bewilders Jyuushirou, even though he's seen it all before.
Shunsui has seen how much Jyuushirou can eat, particularly when he's ill. He's always wanted to find out just how much Shirou can eat at one sitting.
Both of them played pranks on the general when they were still in the academy. Both of them are still waiting for him to find out it was them.
Jyuushirou is always trying to get himself out of trouble. Usually, its trouble Shunsui has gone looking for.
Once a month without fail, Jyuushirou and Shunsui sneak away from their offices, away from mounds of paperwork and irritating juniors to go for a picnic as they remember fondly just why they became friends in the first place.
