Before you read this take note that I've read the manga front to back so this one shot contains spoilers & takes place in RE: when Juuzou has dyed his hair black & is with the Q's. Thanks! Enjoy the one shot, my dudes.

He was swift with the control of his scythe. His limber arms maneuvered the weapon with ease, elegant slashes broke through the air. His legs moved in sync with the rhythm of his torso. He was inexplicably beautiful. You've never seen him so intent on his training before. His black hair matted to his scalp from copious amounts of sweat plastering his skin. God, he looked so exhausted. You were starting to worry. Ever since he volunteered to assist Haise in the Nutcracker investigation, his training became more frequent & became intensive rather than strategized. You were almost certain he reached his limit. It wasn't like him to practice so late. Something was definitely on his mind & training seemed to be his way of warding it off. You've told him he could always talk to you, but he shoulders all his burdens by himself. It was time you intervened. "Babe, you've been in here for hours on end. I can tell you've overworked yourself, if you do that you won't be in good shape for the investigation." You worriedly called to him. He sighed & wiped sweat from his forehead. "Just a bit longer.." he pleaded. "No! You'll injure yourself. Like I said, if you keep overworking you won't be in good shape for-" "Shut up!! Shut up, shut up shut up! Cant you see me? I'm trying so hard not to screw this up! Don't ruin it y/n! Please! I'm trying..so hard.." he was crying. "Juuzou.." he kneeled. "Babe, come here." He did. Juuzou crawled your way. Your arms extended to hold him. Shushing him softly, you let him cry into your arms. His body shaking from his intensive exercise. His eye soaked, along with your shirt. You cradled him. "Juuzou, you're a squad leader for a reason. You were hand selected. You're fantastic. You won't screw it up. You're not in it alone. You'll have Haise, the Q's..& you'll have me." He looked up to you & smiled softly. "& I'll have you.." you beamed brightly & helped him stand up. Giving him another hug, protectively wrapping your arms around him. Your warmth enveloping him. He breathed in your scent. In your arms, he was home. He could relax. He could show you every side of himself & you'd love every part of him. He knew you loved him. You stroked his back. "You'll be alright. You'll be alright." He sighed again, pulling away, looking you in the eyes. "I know I've..grown quite a bit from the first time we met. But you know, I don't think you know how much you mean to me." You smiled. "I want to show you but I don't know how. Love is still a fairly new concept to me when it comes to expressing it. Other than words, I don't know how to express my love for you. My actions..don't follow my words.." you lifted his chin, gently kissing him. You'd done this before. He loved it when you kissed him. Your lips were silky & he loved the way you would slide your lips across his before you actually kissed him. It was like a sample before intoxication. You could feel Juuzou's yearn to show you his love but you wanted him to relax first. You pulled away gently. "I can feel your want to love me. But right now, you need to relax. You've overworked yourself." He sighed. He knew you were right. "It's okay. You'll find your own way to love me." You encouraged him. He grinned warmly. "Then, I have a way I can kill two birds with one stone.." he whispered. You cocked an eyebrow. "Y/n..do you think I'm..capable of intimacy?" You went full red. "A-ah, I'm quite sure you are.." he smirked at your embarrassment. "Then may I have your permission to personally love you, forever?" You blinked, why so sudden? "You know what? Sure. I believe in you." That was the only answer he needed. Taking your hand, he lead you to your shared apartment. Juuzou looked at you, you looked at him. "I love you." His hands instantly found your neck, kissing you slowly at first but growing feverishly with each second. For a first time dominant, he was DAMN good at it. His tongue slid across your teeth, you get the signal & opened your mouth. What happened next was sheer ecstasy. Tangling your tongue with his, you felt you shirt being tugged off, which you obliged to. This way, he was going at a pace he could control. You were okay with this pace. He wanted to love you & you were going to let him. Your skirt..your undergarments..his belt..his pants..his boxers..his shirt.. you were beneath him again. Juuzou was greedily loving you & you felt like you were on cloud 9. His kisses left tingling sensations all over. His pace made you shiver. "Forever.." he repeated. "I want to love you..forvever.." you felt yourself clench your teeth. Him too. You both knew what came next so he prepared & pulled out of your core. Juuzou sighed, stitched brushing your skin. "I'll love you..forever." He meant it.
