Aizen is never sick, never remotely close to any sign of a weakens or vulnerability. If he is - Shinji gets super suspicious. Because it is some kind of twisted plot, right?. That cannot be real. Aizen's too perfect and untouchable for this to be real. And then Shinji hates it because still, somewhere deep in his gut he has a slightest doubt - what if it IS real? Ridiculous. Annoying thought. And yet, he cannot leave his subordinate like that, he gotta play along. So very reluctantly he'd bring him some tea. And observes him. If his hands shake when he holds the cup. If that looks like a genuine fever symptoms. And this observation is getting really uncomfortable for both, because it ruins the rule of no-relaying. And Shinji doesn't like thinking of Aizen in a way that could humanized the bastard. Checking on him regularly can at least be reframed as surveillance (to check if Aizen is not doing anything shady while pretending he's unwell) but the true danger is if Shinji starts to believe Aizen might be really unwell, just hiding how bad it is, not to look weak. This unwanted emphatic response makes Shinji deeply frustrated both with himself, and with Aizen for causing that reaction. If this is a part of some plan, he swears to Solu King, he's gonna make Aizen regret this.

🕰️ If they could go back in time, what moment would they relive together?

That one, seemingly insignificant evening when the sun was already low, Shinji was off-duty, the music played too loud in his private quarters. And Aizen was just passing by, and decided to take a quick look. And he saw Shinji dancing with himself. Not performing, not even being coordinated or graceful, just moving to the rhythm of his record, movements erratic, haori off, hair in a artistic mess. And he couldn't help but stare. And then Shinji turned and noticed him standing there. And he just smiled. Aizen was thinking of that smile for a long time after that. What kind of smile was that? Knowing? Mocking? Inviting? If they could relive that moment, perhaps something more could unfold that evening.

AizenxYhwach:

👀 Who gets jealous more easily & how obvious are they about it?

I feel, Yhwach would get jealous more easily as he is slightly more impulsive, and eager to kill people on a whim. And also because Aizen seems to have this unfinished business from the past with a bunch of Shinigami, including one very annoying shopkeeper. Meanwhile, Yhwach has a lot of worshipers with whom he can do as he pleases, however, since none of them is really equal to him, or even worth sparing, Aizen has no reason to get jealous.

With that said, perhaps with Aizen it isn't romantic/possessive kind of jealousy but more like a respect-based one. I feel the devotion of Quincies could get on his nerves, something his Espada never really compared to. Aizen doesn't like playing second fiddle to anyone, and with Yhwach it might feel that way.

🖤 What’s the darkest “we’ll never tell anyone” thing they’ve done together?

Picture a modern Au in which Yhwach's father - Reio is the influential figure, and his son - Yhwach and his son's bastard of a partner plans to kill Reio together. And perhaps they succeed. Doing the deed in a very gruesome way, probably including chopping some limbs off, which showcases lack of empathy and family bonds. The things these two would do for power.

👑 In their relationship, who’s the king / queen & who’s the knight / advisor?

That's a good one haha. I mean, if Yhwach is the Quincy King, then Aizen is a Quincy Queen by default, right? And we all know that a king would be nothing without his queen telling him subtly what to do (so I guess that counts as advising). But if we treat it more like, who acts and gets the things done, and who demends and does nothing - well, I think YH is the man of action, while Aizen is the man with a plan, who doesn't like his hands dirty. Does that make YH a knight and Aizen his king? I guess, yes.

Aizen: Honey, would you be so nice and finally get me that Soul King's throne I asked you for so many times?

Yhwach: I told you, I'm on it. You don't have to remind me every half a century.

Ruling the universe, buying new furniture - it's all the same.

NnoitraxSzayel:

🔥 What’s the pettiest thing they’ve ever argued about?

Oh, you know - trivial things, like: who's gonna eat that last remaining leg of Szayel's fraccione, whose turn it is to play with dolls (when Szayel turns some lower arrancars into his test subject for fun). Or maybe something like:

Nnoitra: Who do you think you are? Only I am allowed to threaten Tesle's life. He is my. Go play with your own fracciones!

🌸 What nickname do they have for each other that would mortify them if others heard?

Nnoitora would probably called Szayel 'megane' (four-eye freak) in a half-hearted insulting manner, but that wouldn't have much of an effect on the scientist (bet he was called worst in the past). But what gets the "don't call me that in front of others" reaction would be calling Szayelaporro La Lujuriosa.

Meanwhile, I bet Szayel is often referring to his partner simply as 'that moron'/'idiot' which Nnoitra also isn't too happy about.

UraAi:

⚓ If one of them had to leave forever, what would they leave behind for the other?

Aizen - would leave Kisuke the Hogyouku, of course! Beaus part of it already belongs to Kisuke and if not for Kisuke, it would never be compleated anyway, so if Aizen is about to disappear from existence anyway, he could as well wish his Hogyouku, and a part of him with it, would start listening to Kisuke from now on. He is the only one worth of this invention, anyway.

Urahara - he'd leave his handwritten notes to Aizen, because he knows, Aizen would probably get his hands on them anyway, but so he would leave a personal note among them, for Aizen to read. Not a letter, not a confession, but something short and seemingly not even important. But he knows Aizen would understand. With all the attention Aizen has always payed to him, Kisuke can be sure this gesture won't be missed. And maybe it would even force Aizen to reflect at his own, choose immortality, and how it only makes you appreciate fragile things when they are already gone.

☕ Who’s the morning person & how do they lure the night owl out of bed?

I think they are both night owls. Both too focused/obsessed with their work/research/experiments to just stop and go to bed, and continue the next day. We see Aizen conducting his very illegal hollowfication tests mainly late at night for obvious reason, at day he has a good captain persona to maintain. While Kisuke also pulls the allnighters and then oversleeps. The difference is, Aizen is more disciplined, and he'd bruteforce himself to get up early even after the whole night of doing evil. While Kisuke will be late at work, and wouldn't even feel too embarrassed. So when Aizen wants to lure Urahara out of bed, he simply needs to say: "You know that Yoruichi-san is already waiting for you for an past hour, and her mood is getting worse with every passing minute you waste, correct? And don't bother asking why didn't I wake you up earlier. I'm not responsible for your failure, but I'll be happy to watch you try talk your way out of that." (Is Yoruichi really waiting? Who knows?).

👀 Who gets jealous more easily & how obvious are they about it?

Aizen. Kisuke is almost never jealous because he has more options, and he knows that. And while Aizen theoretically could use his charm to seduce anybody, Kisuke knows that on intellectual level Aizen won't find what he's looking for.

Aizen thinks he's not obvious, beaus of course he has a perfect control over his emotions and how he chooses to express them, however, when it comes to Kisuke Urahara, he tends to slip... So perhaps ignoring Yoruichi, and refusing to interact with her isn't as subtle as he thinks it is. And cutting Shinji's long, beautiful hair just because he said Kisuke reminds him of himself also reads rather petty. Oh, and I'm not even counting how many people Aizen stalked, ruined their lives, or just murdered because they got a tad to friendly with his arch-enemy. Just ask Gin, he'd confirm this.

UraShin:

🌪️ What’s the most chaotic thing they’ve done together on pure impulse?

I feel like the list would be long: starting with a random public singing in the middle of a street, ending with doing 'it' at the shop, in the middle of day and with Yoruichi catching them (and scolding them cause the kinds could walk in on them!). But they'd also spread a more calculated, and kind o petty brand of chaos, like a deeply complex prank on Hiyori, or kinda dark revenge plan of how to subtly mess with Central 46 and not get caught.

Yuhazen:

🚪 Who’s more likely to say “we’re not leaving this room today”?

Both are equally capable of saying that, and meaning that, because both are used to order others around and neither takes 'no' for an answer. Imagine a scenario where Aizen joins Yhwach, gets to Silbern with him, and gets invited to YH's private chambers one evening. And that night Jugram wouldn't get to switch his powers for the Allmighty. And the next morning, the Quincy King still isn't kin on letting his guest go anywhere. "Where do you think you're going?" he asks, catching Aizen's wrist. "You're not leaving this room until I say so." There is a spark of refusal flickering inside Aizen at that line, but when he thinks of it...: "Well, neither do you." I guess the war against shinigami can wait for one day.

UraMayu:

🍷 Who gets tipsy first & starts spilling embarrassing love confessions?

Can Mayuri even get drunk with all the modifications he had done to his body? Bet he has some intoxication antidote already circulating in his system - cause what is alcohol if not another type of poison? Also, drinking is a type of activity Mayuri would never appreciate. However, if his arrogant colleague insist, he can indulge and watch Urahara embarrass himself. As predicted, Urahara is getting tipsy as every average mind, his posture loose, his speech a little slurry, and his cheeks reddish. So Mayuri feels like his better, because of course he is, until Urahara starts saying things that were not expected like: "You know, Nemuri Project, this is really something... You might actually surpass me on this one. I'm proud..." Mayuri goes speechless.
