Vulnerable
"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" twitching and flailing about, she tried to escape from his taunting grip. "Fool!"
"You asked for it, Midget."
"Idiot! Get... Get off m-me!" she began to lose her composure, a smile creeping up on her and she twisted and twitched, her head hanging over the side of her bed.
"I can see you smiling..." he gloated, a grin casting over his sheepish expression.
"Stop! I'm not smiling!"
"Yeah... You kind of are..."
"Stop! At once!"
"Say it..."
"Enough! I'm n-not saying it! Not no-now!" she scoffed, trying to keep her calm, and usual bratty attitude.
"Say it, and I'll get off you..." his childish grin lurking over her as she struggled. She was annoyed, but not furious. Looking up at him, that shameless grin over his face as his eyes connected with her. The orange light streaming through the curtains behind him. He looked, happy. It was rare she ever saw him happy. The way he smiled down at her, something clicked. Like she was able to see him, no longer hidden behind that scowl. She liked that. She liked Ichigo.
"Ah! N-no! Not there!"
"Then say it!"
"Okay!" she swallowed, shifting around, trying to compose herself. She was only going to say it once.
"Hm?" he hummed, condescendingly, looking quite pleased with himself, giving no mercy as his hands continued to run up and down her rips.
"I... I like you," she said, her face drawn straight. Except for that twitch in the corner of her mouth as she tried not to smile. It was bad enough that he got her to say it, she didn't want him to actually believe she meant it. Whether she did or not.
"There. Wasn't so hard?" he scoffed, drawing his hands away, and resting them beside her as he lent in. That stupid grin glued to his face. "I like you, too."
He watched as her face softened, clueless as to what was going on. He leaned closer, noticing that odd look on her face. She looked so... Vulnerable. It made his heart beat like crazy. All he wanted to do was protect her, but she never looked like she needed, or much less, wanted it. But now, that strange look in her eyes, she let her guards down.
He brushed his lips over hers, as the silence caved in.
"Idiot," she scoffed.
...This has to be the shortest, soppiest crap I ever wrote... But... I had fun writing it.
