Simple Joys
Rukia and Ichigo were walking through town, simply seeing what was around. They had already made a few stops whenever Rukia found a shop with something interesting, and were now slowly working their way home. Rukia suddenly came to a dead stop, and Ichigo turned to find out what she had seen this time. When he saw what she was looking at, he gave a mental sigh, before preparing himself.
"Ichigo! Look at the bunnies!" Rukia said excitedly. They had walked right past a pet store and there were in fact bunnies in the window. Super fluffy baby bunnies.
"I see them." Ichigo knew exactly where this was going to go. He followed her as she stepped into the shop. A quick talk with one of the employees and Ichigo knew he had no chance of stopping her as Rukia was handed one of the fluffy creatures.
"It's so cute! I want one!"
"We can't-" Ichigo's protest was cut off as Rukia gave him one of her 'but I really want it and will cry if I can't have it' looks.
"Okay. Maybe just one rabbit." He said.
-line-break-
Ichigo and Rukia stood in their backyard, looking at the large rabbit pen they had bought. In Ichigo's opinion, it seemed a bit over the top, but it was necessary for the new addition to their family. They brought the pet crate over to the rabbit run and opened the box. A bunny cautiously hopped out, exploring it's new home, soon followed by a second one. Rukia and Ichigo were now the proud owners of two bunnies. Once Rukia had found out the bunny she had chosen at the pet store had a sibling, she couldn't just separate them. So they had taken them both home. Even after Ichigo had lectured Rukia about how much responsibility it would take, she had happily accepted how much work it would be. At that point there was no other reason why she couldn't have them, they had experience with pets after all, and she had adopted the sibling bunnies, a snow white one, and a pure black one.
"They sure are cute. Thank you, Ichigo." Rukia said gratefully. She had sat down in the middle of the bunnies, and they were wandering around her. A huge smile appeared on her face as the black one hopped into her lap and burrowed under her hand. Ichigo gave a small smile too as he joined her and the white one slowly came over. He gently scooped it up and placed it in his lap, amazed at how soft it was. It wasn't long before the bunnies had fallen asleep from the warmth they provided, so the couple simply sat there, enjoying the nice day and the bunnies sleeping in their laps.
"You're welcome, Rukia"
