[All in good time, Yagen! He still has to figure everything out...
One of the three has been friendzoned for now. (Sorry, Mitsutada, he’s really fond of you and there is definitely chemistry there but...! Yagen might notice that Ichigo’s portions are mealtimes sometimes have extra little treats in them courtesy of Mitsutada and they might share a glance across the dining hall.)
One is, of course, a certain Tenka Goken that he’s found out he’s married to and they both still love each other very much and will most probably continue with this relationship. Yagen probably knows about this marriage from before? Dear husband might write Ichigo some secretly lewd love poems though but at least his brothers won’t be able to understand them if they happen across them!
Then there’s the crane he’s lived with for over 300 years who has always been there for him but only recently finally decided to confess his love. Ichigo loves him a lot too, so it’s complicated...
Anyway! Ichigo is genuinely surprised when he hears what Yagen says. He’s never thought of playing with his brothers as ‘childish’. They are all precious to him as they are one of the few things he remembers and he just loves spending time with them.]
... childish? ... stoop this low ...
[Ichigo usually has the patience of a saint, especially when dealing with his brothers, but he’s rather annoyed now. How could Yagen say something like that?? It breaks his heart to think that Yagen thinks his love for them is some sort of act!
He kneels down and looks his brother straight in the eyes, the hurt he feels clearly reflected in his eyes of amber gold. His tone is stern but calm.]
Yagen Toushirou. How dare you say something like that? Do you not know how much I love you and your brothers? Do you not know how much I treasure all of you and enjoy spending time with all of you? When I first woke up again after the fire and ... my retempering... and could barely remember by own name. The only other thing I could remember was that I had brothers and how you are precious to me. So how dare you...
[Tears start filling his eyes as all the stress he’s been trying to hide overwhelms him... What have you done, Yagen??]
