I actually agree. That seems to be a thing with kubo. Pairing childhood friend together.
Now all we need is a dedicated, imaginative author to write a fanfiction about them. Doesnt have to feature ichigo and others. Just them and how they progress their feelings, mature. Jealous moments, funny moments, coming of age, etc.(also want to see them shine brightly in the society.
So u know the bleach trend:
Gin x matsumoto ran-something
Toshiro x aizen adoring girl
Yoruichi x urahara
Rupiah x renji(?)
So, I was thinking
Ikkaku x yumichika,
Anyone? Then, the white haired captain and flowery on top of captain robe guy is also possi le, just that...well, it's possible.
Simply put, childhood friend = possible, hinted crush. If each has their story. Its possibly true right?
