Challenge I was tagged for.

Rules: Only use Dialogue.

Can be whatever pairing you want.

Can be as long as you want.

When you're done, tag someone then give them a prompt to fill.

My prompt: Angst/Death-Talk.

"If I died--"

"Yumi."

"What?"

"Don't change the subject to somethin' like that."

"I didn't change the subject. We weren't talking, so there was no subject to change."

"Yah know what I mean. I don't wanna talk about that."

"…Well, that's a bit hypocritical, don't you think?"

"Wha'?"

" 'I'm going to die fighting', 'When I die, I want to blahblahblah.'"

"That's different."

"Explain?"

"I'm talking about my pride as a fighter. You don't talk about crap like that, so I know you're about to say somethin' depressing."

"You think I enjoy listening to you talk about your death all the time? The least you could do is listen to me."

"Don't give me that look. Fine, I'll listen."

"If I died, would you find another lover?"

"That's it."

"Where are you going?"

"I'm not going to talk about your death with you. Especially when you ask something like that."

"It was a simple question."

"More like a trick question…"

"How is that a trick question?"

"If I say yes, you'll get mad. If I say no, you'll get mad over the fact I'm not moving on."

"I think you're avoiding the question because you don't want to admit that you'd probably get someone else."

"That's not true!"

"So, you'd stay lonely?"

"This is why I didn't want to talk about this with you! What if I asked you that? Yumichika, what would you do if I died?"

"…Shuuhei seems nice."

"YUMICHIKA."

"Kidding, kidding…"

"See? You can't answer!"

"I can, I just don't want to."

"I'll answer if you answer."

"That's cheating, Ikkaku. I asked you first."

"Just go-- or do you not want to answer?"

"…"

"Che. I told you--"

"If you died, I'd have nothing to live for. After many months of loneliness, I would probably take my life in the most beautifully way possible."

"…Suicide isn't beautiful, Yumi."

"Anything can be beautiful if you put enough effort into it."

"It sounds like you've thought about this before…"

"You get into a lot of fights, Ikkaku."

"…"

"Your turn."

"…Che. Don't expect me to forget what you just said."

"I expect we'll be having a long talk about it tomorrow."

"Damn straight we will."

"Your turn."

"…Agh, I don't know. I've never thought about you dying before. I try to, you know, not think about that type of thing."

"Take your time."

"I'd…well, I don't think I'd go as far as suicide. I'm not like that. I'd probably be horribly depressed and… I don't think I'd find someone else. I don't think I could."

"Really? Because I think Yamada has a crush on you."

"Why can't you take this seriously?"

"Why do you take it so seriously? You don't plan on dying anytime soon and neither do I."

"It's not something you plan, Yumi."

"Mmm."

"…Suicide and depression. What a great conversation."

"I think it's romantic to know how much we care for each other."

"Yeah, really romantic to know that you'd kick the bucket for me."

"Save it for tomorrows argument."

"I plan to."

"…I love you, Ikkaku."

"…What was that for?"

"Just happy to know you care about me so much."

"Well, duh. If I didn't I would just let the hollow's eat you, instead of saving you."

"What a romantic way of saying 'I love you, too.'"

"What can I say? I'm a romantic guy."

"Happy Valentines day."

"Tired?"

"Mmm."

"Well, get some rest. You're going to need it for our fight tomorrow."

"Can't wait."

"…'Night, Yumi."

"You'd better carry me back to my room this time... I'll kill you if I wake up on the roof again…"

"I learn from my mistakes."

"…"

"…You asleep?"

"…"

"…I love you, too…Yumi."

"…Thank you…"
