Soi Fon loves how Yoruichi purrs when she tells her she loves her, how Yoruichi's hair brushes against her skin, how her girlfriend leans in to nuzzle her. She even loves it when Yoruichi does it as a cat.
Yoruichi loves how Soi Fon's eyes sparkle when they catch her watching her little bee. She loves how storm clouds break into shining silver and how her captain's face melts, finally relaxes. Mostly, she loves that she's the one that can get her little bee to loosen up.
Soi Fon loves the way Yoruichi steals glances at her, thinking she doesn't notice. Or maybe Yoruichi does and it's just another game they're playing with each other. She loves that about Yoruichi too. It's not about one-upping the other anymore, just a silent nod. I know you're watching. I love you too.
Yoruichi loves Soi Fon's smirk, how confident it is. She's no longer the shrinking violet stuck following others. Soi Fon is Soi Fon, the Captain of the Second Division, the leader of the Punishment Force and Stealth Corp, a goddamned goddess, and she'll repeat that back to her as many times as it takes for Soi Fon to realize it.
Soi Fon loves the way Yoruichi walks. It's not the sway of someone flaunting their body or the swagger of other nobles. It's light, controlled. For all the freedom Yoruichi hoards, Soi Fon can see the discipline in her steps, the habit of decades spent training. Sometimes, she thinks it's care, the way Yoruichi tries to match her own pace when they're walking through the Seireitei together.
Yoruichi loves Soi Fon's body, and she thinks it's a damn shame that Soi Fon doesn't realize how sexy she is. She loves the tight lines of her bee's abs, the hard definition of her arms, and even if Soi Fon feels insecure about them, the delicate curves of her breasts and butt. Still, Yoruichi thinks she loves Soi Fon's breath hitching even more whenever she traces the outline of her lover in the dark.
Soi Fon loves the way Yoruichi wraps her arms around her. She loves how Yoruichi embraces her, this fickle cat finally deciding on someone, and against all reason, she chooses a lower noble out of her depth. Soi Fon loves how strong Yoruichi's arms are, how safe she feels in them, and most of all, she loves how they accept her.
Yoruichi loves how Soi Fon flash steps. No one else is fast enough to see what Yoruichi sees. She loves how Soi Fon springs on the balls of her feet, how she launches herself forward with each step, accelerating past vision. The way she moves cat-like, an arch, wind up, and explosive burst, and Yoruichi wonders how long Soi Fon must have been watching her to learn all that.
Soi Fon loves Yoruichi's Shunko. It's loud and proud and power itself. Yoruichi isn't ashamed of who she is, and it fits her more than Jakoho Raikoben could ever fit Suzumebachi. Yoruichi isn't just a goddess, the sun of the Soul Society; she's lightning, five times hotter.
Yoruichi loves Soi Fon's Shunko, how it's not just a copy of her own. It's not over in a flash, it's a dance of power and grace. She scoffs at everyone who derides it as a bunch of hot air and wind. These people have clearly never seen a wind-shorn mountain or felt their skin ripped raw by a tornado.
Most of all, Yoruichi loves Soi Fon's Shunko because it's hers, it shows everything her lover has become on her own. It's not a burst of lightning, it won't end things in an instant, but it's so very much Soi Fon. It's an unending gale, the storm that's been tearing through her body for a hundred and ten years and each defeat carved into her heart. It's the determination and desperation propping her up, driving her forward each day to break the person she once was, and she's made it her own. Yoruichi couldn't be prouder.
One day, she knows that her lightning will roar and shatter the world, but it will fade, and Soi Fon's Mukyu will still rage and grind. Her storm will scream and strip sparks from the air, and eventually, it will call her back thundering to where she belongs, right beside her bee.
Soi Fon loves 1,000 things about Yoruichi. All the small details no one else cares to catch, because they think she is a goddess or a cat or a traitor or a friend or a war power, and yes, she is all those things, but to Soi Fon, Yoruichi is someone else. She's someone who worries and cries and lashes out, someone who teases and inspires and advises, someone who loves her, who makes room for all the flaws and defects Soi Fon knows she has. And even if it would take another hundred and ten years for Yoruichi to admit that Soi Fon isn't all that, Soi Fon knows she would still pull her close and tell her that she loves her.
And Yoruichi loves 1,001 things about Soi Fon, because she really is all that. And of course, because she has to outdo her little bee in everything.
A/N: I wanted to write something sweet this time. I know I have a bad habit of writing the angsty stuff, so have a little sugar to balance it out. (Actually, I'm just about breaking even now, aren't I?) Besides, it's Valentine's! If I'm not going to write something cute and fluffy now, when am I?
As for my actual thoughts on this fic, I just really love YoruSoi. I know there are a lot of pairings out there in Bleach, so I started asking myself what brings Yoruichi and Soi Fon together. What do they love about each other? What do they respect about each other? Or maybe, I just wanted to fawn over my favorite characters? Who knows?
