Hello ! How do you think a ship between Kusanagi and Benzai would work ?
Take care !
Benzai’s one of the more mature S4 members so I could see him getting along with Kusanagi, like the two of them chatting over drinks and such. Imagine post-ROK since Homra and S4 are working together multiple members of the alphabet squad are often sent to Bar Homra to exchange messages or information — Awashima’s busy and can’t always be the one to bring news, and Fushimi doesn’t care to go to Homra unless he’s meeting Yata. Kusanagi gets used to seeing the different members and gets to know their personalities some, like he knows Doumyouji gets along with the other Homra guys and Hidaka’s friendly to everyone, Kamo is good to ask for cooking tips, and that Akiyama and Benzai are usually all business. 
One day though day Anna happens to find a stray kitten wandering around outside of the bar. She brings it in and gives Kusanagi the sad puppy eyes, Kusanagi sighs and says they can keep it for now but if it starts knocking things over in the bar it will be a problem. Normally he would go to Fujishima for something like this but he happens to be away so Kusanagi has to handle the kitten by himself once Anna leaves for school. As it happens though Benzai comes by to deliver a message and imagine he immediately looks at the kitten when he comes in. He tries to play it cool of course, telling Kusanagi what he was sent to relay and then sitting down for a drink. Kusanagi notices that he keeps looking at the cat though and wonders if Benzai is good with cats. Benzai says he ‘doesn’t mind them’ and Kusanagi is like see I’m not used to dealing with them, so I could use a hand. Benzai is immediately like oh well in that case and soon the two of them are having a whole conversation about the cat. 
Kusanagi is amused seeing this new side of Benzai and the two of them actually have a good rapport going on, to the point Benzai doesn’t even realize how long he’s been gone until Akiyama shows up to find him. Benzai sheepishly apologizes and Kusanagi tells him if he wants to stop by the bar later off shift to see the kitten he’s always welcome. Benzai says he might take Kusanagi up on that offer and like a day later he’s back in the bar in casual clothes. Kusanagi figures if Benzai is going to hang around he may as well have a drink on the house and they can chat, and Benzai realizes that he’s actually looking forward to that too.
