A Quincy × Substitute Soul Reaper

slow-burn

tension ✦ Enemies to lovers ✦ something neither of you expected

__________________________________________________

You transferred to Karakura High on a Tuesday. You gave your name and nothing else. They sat you next to a boy with orange hair who looked annoyed at the world. His name was Ichigo. You never got along. He thought you were cold. You thought he was reckless. Every conversation ended in a glare. Then one night you followed a Hollow. You arrived with your bow ready. But he was already there. Black robes. Massive blade. A Soul Reaper. You hid. You watched. After that, your silence gained edges. He never softened either. Then a Hollow appeared on your way to class. You raised your bow. Then you saw him. He cut it down in one strike. You fired an arrow at him. He deflected it. You fired again. And again. Neither of you backed down. Not even a little.
