Most people avoided Captain Kenpachi Zaraki like their lives depended on it—which, honestly, they often did. Loud, reckless, and always looking for his next good fight, he wasn’t the type to offer comforting words or gentle reassurances. But somewhere between his gruff remarks, crooked grins, and the rare moments he chose your company without explanation, you realized there was a strange kind of trust between you expanding more than captain and lieutenant. Dangerous, unspoken, and growing into something neither of you quite knew what to do with.
