This is my first Hinamori x Hitsugaya fic so bear with me!

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story, but I do own the story:D

.Awkward Beginnings.

Hinamori was pacing back and forth as her wooden sandals clanked against the also wooden floor again and again. She had her hands behind her back and her gaze was focused straight ahead of her, whatever direction that was whenever she decided to switch around during her pacing. She stopped in her tracks, thoughtfully placing her hand on her chin.

'Now just how am I supposed to deal with Shiro-chan?'

She thought to herself before returning to her current action of pacing about the room. She was stressing over the fact that he had a temperature and a rather nasty cough. Even though she had specifically told him not to over-do himself in the cold weather, and even though she had put an emphasize on her statement of "I'm not going to take care of you when you get sick, Hitsugaya", she was worried nonetheless. And Hitsugaya wasn't the type of person to want people looking down on him, feeling sorry for him, and he absolutely hated people being worried about him. He considered himself able to take very well care of his own being, and he was able, just not at the current moment. However, he didn't exactly care to admit to that, especially not to Momo. That just happened to be his problem with the situation he was in. He could hear her voice ringing in his ear over and over again.

"Toshiro! I suggest you don't go out into the cold if you don't need to."

"I'll be fine, Hinamori." He replied with a sigh.

"I'm not going to take care of you when you get sick, Hitsugaya."

He turned around to face her pouty expression.

"I'm not going to get sick." He declared defiantly before marching out of the room.

She placed her hands on her hips and blew away a bothersome strand of hair, crossing her eyes as she plopped down on the floor. She knew was going to end up having to take care of the stubborn teen captain.

Hinamori looked around the empty room before walking out of it in search of Hitsugaya. She lurked around the wooden halls of the rather large building, peeking her head around every corner.

"Toshiro?" She said quietly, almost in a whisper.

She could hear shuffling in the next room and immediately figured it to be Hitsugaya, since he was the one on her mind. With conclusion of that, she tore off toward the noise and busted into the room, completely forgetting what particular room she was pushing into. Scarlet rushed up her cheeks like mad as her eyes grew wide in embarassment. She stood before a horrified, and clotheless Hitsugaya and backed away in astonishment. Hitsugaya quickly pulled his black bathing towel in front of him to cover himself in the sudden presence of his female friend as he blushed furiously.

"Hi-Hinamori!!" He screamed out.

"Toshiro! I'm so sorry!!" She said running out of the room, but not before slipping on the wet, water covered floor on her way out.

She pressed her back against the wall, her chest rising and falling heavily as she gasped for air. Her eyes were still the size of saucers as she recalled what had just happened. How could she forget that was the shower room? She mentally kicked herself in the head several times as she slumped down on the floor. Her head filled with worry as the thought of Hitsugaya not speaking to her because of this incident entered her mind. Not a minute later, she could hear footsteps coming down the hallway and her body tensed up immediately while a nervous expression plastered itself onto her face. Hitsugaya walked up to her and she stared timidly at his feet until he knelt down to her level. She took notice to the fact that he hadn't even put on his white cloak which signified his rank as captain. He just had his normal black Shinigami robes on. She looked away almost instantly, but he put his hand on her chin, turning her to face him.

"C-captain Hitsugaya I--"

He frowned at his childhood friend and stared into her chestnut eyes.

"Hinamori, I thought I told you to drop the formalities with me." He said, his face only inches away from hers.

She could feel her cheeks turning red all over again.

"Toshiro...I apolo--" She continued quietly, only to be interrupted once again.

Although, this time she wasn't interrupted by words, actually she wasn't cut off by any type of noise at all. Hitsugaya had taken the chance of bringing his lips down onto hers, just lightly kissing her. Her fingers tightly curled up at her side as she felt his soft lips touch hers. She really didn't know how to absorb his so unexpected actions, but she didn't even think to try struggling against it. But she had no idea why he was doing this after she walked in on him while he was...well...not properly dressed...at all. To be absolutely honest about the situation, she actually thought it was kind of nice. He pulled away from her before plainly walking away, leaving Hinamori dumbfounded on the floor. She folded her arms across her chest, her eyes cautiously following him out of the room.

"You're going to get me sick..."

He turned around, flashing her a beautiful smile, which was something she didn't get from him that often. No one did.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of you."

"Hitsugaya..."

He continued to smile at her before leaving the room.

"Momo."

He smirked to himself as he walked through the corridors, swinging his arms triumphly at his side.

"I guess being sick isn't all bad." He said before suffering a coughing attack.
