A/N: I haven't posted anything worthwhile here for ages, so I thought I'd make up for that by posting my IchiIshi version of this little game. Title inspired by "Into Your Arms" by The Maine, because I honestly couldn't think of anything better.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any of the songs I used.
5-song fic
Pairing: IchiIshi
Fandom: Bleach
1. "Thriller"-Michael Jackson
It surprised Ichigo, really. As it turned out, Ishida was terrified by horror movies—despite all the Hollows they fought. Ichigo smirked to himself, wrapping an arm around the cowering Quincy.
Feeling devious, he leaned down and blew gently on Ishida's ear. Ishida jumped, then glared at Ichigo as he laughed.
Ichigo regretted his actions as Ishida "hmpf"-ed and moved away, now cowering against the arm of the couch. He should've known better than to mess with the proud Quincy. Sighing, he turned back to the film.
Ishida didn't stay on the other side of the couch for long.
2. "Truth of the Matter"-Dashboard Confession
Watching Orihime, Ichigo sighed. A blind man could see that she had feelings for him, but Ichigo didn't return then. Instead, he was finding that he was attracted to someone very different. As if summoned by his thoughts, that someone entered the classroom.
Ishida Uryuu.
Ishida's cobalt eyes met his, and something passed between them that no one else noticed. Ishida blushed and continued to his seat, while Ichigo grinned like a madman.
3. "Darlin'"-Avril Lavigne
Ichigo leaned back against the tree, his eyes on the frustrated Quincy staring murderously at the stream next to him. With a sigh, he straightened up and made his approach, not sure how Ishida would react to his attempts to comfort the powerless teen.
Ishida frowned up at Ichigo as he came to a stop behind him. Swallowing his nervousness, Ichigo sat. Ishida watched him warily, not sure what was going on.
'Oh, forget talking,' Ichigo thought, leaning forward and capturing Ishida's lips instead.
The Quincy froze for only a second before melting into the kiss.
4. "Face Down"-The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Ichigo glared at Ishida. He looked exhausted—his shoulders slumped, and there were dark circles under his eyes. What had he been up to.
Ishida noticed his glare and stared blankly back at him. Ichigo couldn't wait until school ended; he needed to know what was wrong with his friend.
When the final bell rang, Ichigo followed him. "Ishida!" he called.
Ishida looked back at him, stopping for him to catch up. "My father," he muttered before Ichigo could ask.
Ichigo's expression softened, and he wrapped Ishida up in his arms without caring what any witnesses might think.
5. "Even Now"-Dashboard Confessional
Ishida laid on his bed, staring at the bathroom door. He could hear the water running as Ichigo showered. He smiled to himself, thinking over the time that had passed since "Kurosaki" had become "Ichigo."
The Soul Society finally seemed to have gotten control of the Hollows, leaving the two men with more time to themselves. This was just fine with Ishida, who now buried his face in Ichigo's pillow.
"Uryuu?" asked a voice from the bathroom. Ishida looked up to see Ichigo smiling at him from the doorway. He blushed, but returned the smile.
