Urahara x Hanataro(Pura Pura Lupa by Emma Heesters)
He should have seen this coming but he stupidly let himself think that at least that person would never leave. So funny how even after more than one hundred years he can’t forget that person even if he knows that they will not come back no matter what.
Hanataro still remembered the day they met for the first time. Seinosuke, Hanataro’s older brother, had just left with a shinigami who recruited him leaving behind Hanataro who was crying when a boy, probably a few years older then Hanataro, brought him to a hug and let him cry which was surprising because in Rukongai people tended to ignore the ones who were suffering. When Hanataro was calm he thanked and apologized to the stranger who simply said that it was okay and if he needed help to come to him. Somehow from that moment they become inseparable and where one was the other too.
They even opened a little shop together when they were basically teens and it was a year before they opened the shop that they started dating. Hanataro was happy with just having his lover and their candy shop but everything changed when his lover found a woman hurt and brought her to the shop so Hanataro could help her since he was always good when it came to medicine and healing kido even if neither had ever gone to the Shino Academy.
Shihouin Yoruichi brought with her the end of Hanataro’s happiness. During the stay to heal her injuries she told stories about Seireitei, shinigamis, her division and her family making Hanataro’s lover interested in the shinigami’s world. He knew that he would lose him but Hanataro hoped that he wouldn’t be left behind again but then a group came to take Yoruichi home when Hanataro’s lover was the only one in the shop with her and they took him with them with the intention of making him Yoruichi’s bodyguard. When he came back there was no one and everything that belonged to his lover was gone. Hanataro didn’t cry but he really wanted to because he was sure that the next time he saw him the love his lover felt for him would be gone.
Hanataro saw him again after he graduated from the Shino Academy, he entered after his brother and his captain came to get him after hearing about a healer in the district he lived in, and when he looked to his eyes he didn’t see not a bit of the person he fell in love with or saw love in his eyes when he noticed him just guilt. That night he appeared in the room Hanataro was staying and they stayed in silence for some minutes until Hanataro asked for a last time together before they said their goodbyes which was accepted. Next morning Hanataro woke up when his ex-lover was getting ready to leave and when he left Hanataro murmured: Goodbye Kisuke. I hope you find someone to make you happy and that will love till the end of their lives like I will.
They saw each other from time to time especially after Urahara became captain of the 12th Division since some of his projects ended with him in the 4th Division. Hanataro saw how little by little Urahara fell in love with his vice-captain but never said anything or tried to make Urahara come back since he lost him the moment he left that day with Yoruichi. Then the hollowfication case happened and Hanataro cried for the first for Kisuke in his captain's arms who was the only person in the end to know about Hanataro and Urahara’s past together and never told anyone because it was their secret.
Urahara Kisuke was like a sad memory for one hundred years until the day the ryokas invaded Seireitei and he heard Ichigo mention him and saw Yoruichi again who had left with Urahara, Tessai and the hollowfied captains/lieutenants. He asked Unohana to go to the living world because he needed to see that Urahara was really okay and Unohana let him since rarely did Hanataro ask for anything besides new equipment since his last one ended or was damaged.
Seeing Urahara again shouldn’t be painful but the fucking idiot opened a sweet shop in the living world which, besides being what once upon a time they did together, was funny because it had been Hanataro who made the sweets and took care of the bills. He didn’t enter the shop for the first week but one day he decided that he needed to go forward even if he never could forget Urahara.
The person to open the door was Tessai who let him in and guided him to the inside of the house before going to get Urahara and preparing tea. They talked about how they were since the last time they saw each other and other things not being interrupted by anyone not even Yoruichi who came to see her best friend. When it was time to go Hanataro had decided that he would give the last push for Urahara to finally ask Hyori out. They got up and Urahara was guiding into the door when Hanataro started to talk.
“Don’t blame yourself for how we turned out. I always knew that you would leave me behind since your curiosity and intelligence were what made you move. I won’t deny and say it didn’t hurt but that is in the past. I love you Kisuke and I know you fell in love with Sarugaki-san so ask her out before it is too late. Don’t deny it I know how you are when you truly love someone because I once wa sthe center of it so go after her and don’t let her go. Yes it will hurt but let me pretend that I forgot what we once were. Goodbye Kisuke and never let her go like I did once with you”
They never really interacted again since this day until the war with the quincy. The war killed and gravely injured a lot of people so the 4th Division members were tasked with looking for survivors and healing everyone. No one knew that Hanataro had been gravely injured by one of the quincies and he never told anyone. He was looking around in a place where no one was looking for when he saw Urahara which made him feel fear that Urahara was dead but luckily he just was hurt and needed a reiatsu transplant. Hanataro ignored his injury and started taking care of Urahara and luckily he was able to cure his eyes but knew that scars would last for the rest of his life. When he was done with healing he knew he should take him to the others for the reiatsu transplant but he couldn’t do it since they would notice his injury which from the beginning he knew he couldn’t survive since the quincy who attacked him used poison. Hanataro picked the things necessary and started the transplant before sitting besides Urahara and enjoying his last moments besides the man he loved.
When Urahara woke up he only saw Hanataro smile at him and heard a soft “I love you” before Hanataro left for the reincarnation circle. He was in shock especially because Hanataro had cured him and gave him his reiatsu before dying. Slowly he got up and looked at Hanataro’s body, noticing a big blood stain on Hanataro's shihakushou which he took off to see what it was and it was an injury which he noticed to have some type of poison. Urahara didn’t know what to think since he abandoned Hanataro and even with that his once lover gave his life to him knowing that the probability of finding a cure for the poison used on him was little but still possible.
In the end Urahara picked the body and took to where he felt the others who when saw Urahara bringing Hanataro’s body were surprised since he seemed to be fine the last time they saw. Isane left a shocked sound leave her mouth when Urahara gave her the body and she noticed the injury. Ichigo was the only one to ask Urahara what happened but the only answer he received was a sad smile and nothing more.
Years after that day Urahara was seen by Ichigo visiting a tomb localized under a big tree with Hyori. Hyori was near him but not at her husband's side while looking at Urahara who talked in whispers to the tomb before they left. Ichigo curious started walking to the tomb and what he read made him understand why that day Uarahara only gave him a sad smile after he questioned what happened to Hanataro.
