Re-reading "A Protector's Pride", and this scene jumped out at me:
Sucrose Octanitrate.

Quote:"… I thought you were amusing, but now I can see that you're rather creepy…" Gin said carelessly. He's grown so fast! "I think I see why Aizen-taicho is interested in you…"--
Ichigo sweat-dropped. "I'm not gay."
Gin looked at him oddly, his smile becoming somewhat strained. "That's not what I meant." He took on a pensive expression. "Then again… I've never known him to be with a woman. Not even his old fukutaicho, Hinamori, who was so desperate to please! He could have had her in a minute had he chosen…"
"Don't you think that you should have known whether he was gay before you and Tousen ran off with him? I mean, with his hypnosis abilities, and you being off in a dark secluded location for months, who knows what he's done to you?" Ichigo pointed out.
There was an awkward silence for a few seconds as neither of them moved, before both shuddered in unison. "Let's just forget we ever had this conversation and get back to the fight," Gin suggested.
"Yeah."
