He was content to observe. Really, he didn't need to take part in any extravagancies such as friendships, or love. But his heartstrings would still twang when he felt the substitute soulreaper's reiatsu brush at him, curious and probing and invading. He knew full well that Kurosaki wasn't aware of it, and that he wasn't in control of it. But still, his hopes would rise and then fall, as the reaper kept his attention on his friends. Although, it was his own fault, Uryuu mused. If he had the brass courage to confront the orange-haired boy about what his reiatsu was doing, and that if he didn't learn to keep it in line there would be consequences then all of this might stop. Or maybe it wouldn't, but Uryuu didn't like to think about that alternative, he refused to get too hopeful (because really, what would the soulreaper want with him, he was just a twig of a Quincy afterall). Although, the Quincy would never confess as to what form the punishment would take. And so he observed from a respectable distance.
