[Bleach] Make New Friends (Yoruichi/Soi Fong)

[valmora]

Title: Make New Friends
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Yoruichi/Soi Fong
Disclaimer: Not mine.
Notes: For otoselkie, because of the Yoruichi&Soi Fong slashy pics.
Spoilers: For Yoruichi and Urahara's backstories.
Summary: Soi Fong contemplates Urahara. And why she might be able to like him.



Soi Fong is not sure whether to be jealous of Urahara-taichou or not; after all, he and Yoruichi often drink together, play cards, perhaps have sex. He is kind, but lazy and selfish, and Soi Fong does not think that he is a good friend for her captain, though it's not her place to say such a thing. She keeps quiet, because Yoruichi, her role model, must see something in Urahara-taichou that is not immediately obvious.

She is unable to find it, especially after Yoruichi, after hours, beats her in a shunpo match and they end pressed cheek-to-cheek, her small body under Yoruichi's, heated and warm. Yoruichi, sheened with sweat and a little out of breath, laughs and says, "Stop being so jealous, Soi Fong," kissing her.

It rules out the sex but fails to explain anything else of what makes Urahara-taichou so appealing. Soi Fong thinks that he is a degenerate, but maybe, with Yoruichi holding her hand and telling her that Kisuke's a friend and nothing more, she can learn to accept him.

Hm. I admit I never really thought of the Soi Fong-Urahara dynamic until you brought it up, but from the anime/manga I was under the impression that Urahara and Yoruichi had been childhood friends (before progressing to something else), so there might be some preexisting relationship between them. But yes. There's a certain amount of guesswork that has to be done as to the dynamic between the three of them.

I don't remember having seen anything like that, but I have the distressing habit of not being particularly good about remembering canon regardless.

There's a certain amount of guesswork
I really think this is true of all the ships in Bleach, except maybe for Byakuya/Hisana and anything involving Ichigo (who's the main character, so it doesn't quite count). I think that it's partially because the series hasn't been completed and also partially because KT doesn't spend a lot of time filling in background details and lets relationships, friend or whatever, speak for themselves for the most part.
