His shirt opened down his front, showing golden skin like some kind of blue-collar wet dream come to life—he was brown even in the middle of winter and he smelled like motor oil and had hair that spiked out from his head, bushy and unruly and ridiculous.

He dreamed of it for so long...

Perhaps it was the child's face, so pitiful and dirty. Perhaps it was its piteous cries, high and annoying. Or perhaps it was nothing more than animal instincts, tugging at his dusty heartstrings.

Unohana-centric. Waiting was an odd game. An odd, but familiar game.

Maybe it's the line of his shoulders. Physical attraction isn't that strange towards your teammates. She figures she can deal with that. Or maybe it's his smile. InoShika.

Cloud is gardening with children when he gets a little help from someone. ONESHOT

"What would you want. . .in return for doing this?" The Demon was silent for a long moment before he smiled once again. And pointing his middle finger straight at her, he answered her as bluntly as before. . .

Maybe it's because I've gotten used to having my life threatened on a daily basis, but this was not that scary for me. I would have probably just kept walking if they hadn't stuffed me in a car. There will be some NxY insinuated. How much, I'm not sure.

A short thought of Noctis for Lightning.
