Requested by The Crazy Chick In Black- thank you
Unohana x Isane
Impossible
She never complained, or whined, or moaned- she was impossibly, wonderfully, amazingly balanced. Sane, rational, lovely and gracious. She listened to every one of Isane's worries, listened to her grumble and sigh about the world, and never said anything in turn. She never felt the need to weigh down other people with her troubles.
And in a very breathtakingly perfect way, it was really, really annoying.
"What's wrong, Isane?"
"Nothing."
A hand on her cheek, warm and soft.
"Talk to me."
"It's just…"
And then it would start again. She would try not to say anything, but it was always prised from her with such a gentle force that she only realised afterwards what she had done.
"What's wrong, Isane?"
"Are you okay?"
"You know you can talk to me."
"How about you, Retsu? Is there anything you want to complain about?"
Her Captain paused, and thought for a moment, before pressing a kiss to Isane's forehead with a gravity and tenderness that made her want to cry.
"I'm always fine, Isane, when you are here."
Breathtakingly, heartbreakingly annoying.
She supposed there were worse flaws for her lover to have.
She kissed Retsu back, and smiled.
