I SHOULD be posting this in my drabbles, but let's just say I don't feel like it. (Déjà vu much?) :PP I'm a lazy bum and I haven't written for weeks. I just got this idea from nowhere, a random fluffy AU drabble to enjoy.

This ish for my lovely pal world-of-bleach2b, who is awesome, okay. Just plain awesome. Don't ask.

The Child At Heart

There was nothing that he liked more than watching his precious Polka.

Period.

Strange and stalkerish as it may sound, that was just the way it was. There was just something about the way she ran and moved around that made him feel...better. More alive. Something like that. It was indescribable, actually.

It was like watching a child.

No matter what, she could find happiness in anything. Even if she was only walking down the street, even if she was only sitting outside, there was something about the bounce in her step that had him captivated.

And even when they were out and she asked questions like, "Look! There's an ice cream vendor! Can I get some, pleeeease?" and he would roll his eyes and say, "One, Polka," he felt happier. Even more so when she would stare at the glass and bounce on her heels, laughing like a kid, trying to decide what flavor to get. She was a child.

A child at heart.

And looking at her was like pressing the rewind button on his life. Watching what being a kid was truly about.

So when she turned around holding a cone with two scoops of chocolate on it and said something as light and sweet as, "It's so good. Won't you try some?" his heart lifted higher and the corner of his mouth turned up and he lazily curled his hand around hers.

"Sure."


Gaaah, fluff! *throws arms over face and lets out a refreshed sigh* I've missed it so. And even though this is oh-so-very short it was fun to write.

Waah~ I want some ice cream. It's so hot here. And our stupid thermostat or whatever it is busted so now we can't turn the central air on. -.-

A review would make me feel a whole lot better. ;) It's the ice cream in the summer heat. So can I pweeeease have one? :D

Thanks for reading!
