Authors Note: Och. I needed something all MEHH to make me feel better. Haha. Love how that works, nee?
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
Ichigo POV:
The first tear slides out and it instantly goes from warm to cold as the freezing air hits it on your face, leaving a biting cold streak after it. The second is much like the first, only it hits the edge of your lip and you lick it away. It's amazing how girls can cry, really. I hate how most girls sob and scream and whine about stupid things. You never did that. You could get frustrated, and complain, but everyone does that. You're my best friend. You cry when I tell you you're not the one I love; the man standing next to me, with his hand on my hip is. You breathe deeply and wipe away the third, fourth, fifth and sixth tears. Then you bravely smile at the man, grin and make a lewd comment like, " I should have known you'd be a fag, Kurosaki, you never even looked twice at Inoue's huge jugs." Laugh your head off like you've said the most cleaver thing on earth, then stiffen when I bed down to you and kiss you, then whisper "thank you" into your ear. You grin and I know you're not as happy as you seem, but you don't hate me or the man with his hand on my hip, smiling at you because he's so very glad you don't hate us.
Rukia POV:
You whisper those words, stunning me. I realize I'm crying but ignore it. I cant help stare at you two as you tower over me, looking scared out of your wits. It's really beautiful, like one of those novels. And that's all I can think as I cry. I wipe away the tears and make some form of gay joke, hoping not to offend you as I laugh my ass off in hysterics. I pray you don't notice, and god, Ichigo, you're dense. It's alright though. After the initial shock, I'm glad it's him, because you could have picked someone a lot worse. Someone that will lieave you, refuse to protect you. And I'm so glad that I know with him you'll be absolutely fine.
His POV:
I can feel you shaking slightly as we confront her. You don't know it, but I'm scared too. I'm so scared of what she'll think because above anyone else it's important she doesn't hate us. I don't remember what her views of gays are. I know she'd love us all the same if you were a woman, but we weren't lucky enough to be an acceptable part of everyday life. We will be censored from kids, dragged down into the pits of hell be every church and by every god-fearing person. It's too bad that you and I know the truth that these people don't know. We are the gods. I'm horrified as she starts crying and comments Ichigo. Then when you kiss her and whisper to her I am scared just as badly, hoping you wont turn around and make a fool of me 'IT WAS A JOKE!" Because frankly, nomatter how much I love you, you're an asshole.
Renji, Ichigo, and Rukia. Alone, under the overpass, Rukia got the feeling of déjà vu, knowing that this has happened. Will happen. Is happening. And she thinks she loves it, and after al we say, we're still real. We still need each other. We are still humans. And we still need love. She smiled against the warm sunlight.
Authors Note: Och. Is this cool? Dang. Hmmph.
