What The Lizard [Aiko/Kanako]

"Holy shit, that's metal."

Aiko's comment was prompt, though not surprised given the massive size of Kanako. She figured she was strong, so Aiko rubbed her chin as if she was thinking, nodding her head along to the music before talking again.

"Couldn't you like....make a sealed form or something? I unno, if your too strong, maybe you can make a smaller form to conceal your strength if your that worried about it."

Though far from an expert on the physiology of Arrancars, she had heard enough tales about shinigami and Arrancars using limiters on their powers. The thought of Kanako having to hold back so much just to avoid causing chaos at a concert seemed like a real hassle.

"I mean, that just sounds like a pain in the ass."

"Anything worth doing is hard!"

Retorting without missing a blink, Aiko's head bashed and thrashed to the metal riff's playing out; her eyes alit with fiery glow as it seemed like the music was giving her more life and energy.

"You seem like your tough and strong, and you didn't get this strong overnight, right? So train and try to make an even smaller form if you can."

As the thumping bass vibrated through them, Aiko's thighs tightened around Kanako's neck, grounding her despite the chaos of the concert. She tapped her hand on Kanako's head, a gesture that prefaced a spark of inspiration.

"I think a lot of powers in this world come through meditative thought and visualizing what we want. So maybe I could help nudge you along later and train you? I'm good with meditative stuff."

Her proposal hung in the air, blending with the music, as Aiko's vibrant energy and readiness to support her friend shone through.

BLOOD AND PASSION WOVEN TOGETHER

GOTHIC DREAMS AND CRIMSON POWER

"We'll make it a deal!"

While the mechanics of power dynamics were complex, she firmly believed that what could be gained in strength could also be controlled.

"Careful with that grin, though! Don't want ya eating my legs like in JAWS!"

With a peppy and filled-with-life voice, Aiko followed with a loud laugh before thrashing her head to the new song that played. Its tempo was fast, hard, and loud, and the crowd started jumping up and down.

"And given you are built like a tank? Yes, yes I'm going to be up here for awhile. Nobody can fuck with us like this!"

She shouted over the roar of the music, her statement a mix of jest and raw confidence as she perched triumphantly atop her friend’s shoulders.

BLOOD AND PASSION WOVEN TOGETHER

GOTHIC DREAMS AND CRIMSON POWER

There was something thrilling about living in the moment, being with a nice friend and having hard metal playing blaring in your ear. As Aiko thrashed her head about, she couldn't be anymore happier. So, she made sure to speak up loud and talk over the song as her blood eyes glanced down at Kanako.

"You're probably right."

Her voice teased her friend, leaning back slightly and feeling entirely at ease atop her towering friend. Kanako's firm yet gentle grip on her thighs was reassuring, grounding her in the moment as the music thumped around them.

With a playful wink, Aiko responded quickly.

"Guess I’ve got the best view in the house then. And trust me, Kanako, your teeth are the least of my worries."

Her laughter mixed with the sound of the crowd, her earlier anxiety melting away in the warmth of the moment.

As Kanako swayed to the rhythm, Aiko could feel the subtle movement beneath her, the giant woman essentially creating their own little dance floor. No one dared approach—anyone who even thought about joining the mosh pit seemed to instinctively avoid the imposing figure. It gave them an almost private space amidst the chaotic concert, and Aiko reveled in it.

"We need to make this a regular thing—getting out, enjoying the world, and not just getting stuck in training and battles all the time."

A thoughtful look crossed her face, her eyes drifting over the crowd.

"Maybe next time we can head somewhere with fewer people staring. I know a few spots out in the countryside—quiet, peaceful, and perfect for someone like you who’s trying to… y'know, figure things out."
