Ichigo stared out the window as the rain pelted the earth. Blinking his brown eyes slowly, he didn't even flinch when a pair of arms wrapped around him.

He always felt like this on this day; and the weather always seemed to agree with him. Closing his eyes, he gave a sigh that ruffled his usually bright orange hair. It didn't matter if he was in this world or the other; the date was always the same.

Distantly noticing that the pair of arms tightened when he exhaled, he opened his eyes once more, only to be met with the same scene as before; pouring rain.

Reaching up with his right hand, the orange-haired man gripped the arm over his chest, his hold tightened for a brief second before slacking. Feeling something fall against his shoulder blade, he turned his head to the right, seeing only white before his mind processed what it was.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" he asked softly so as not to disturb the night.

"Shouldn't you?" came a muffled reply.

Giving a strained chuckle, he murmured, "Couldn't sleep if I wanted to."

Hearing a sigh, he watched as a crown of white lifted to reveal not-at-all sleepy teal eyes. "You should have said something."

Raising a brow, he answered, "And say what? You know I can't sleep on this night."

Ichigo watched as teal eyes softened, a soft, petite hand coming up to cup his face. Even after all this time, it was still hard to believe that they were together for so long.

"Then just lay with me. Is that okay?"

Ichigo blinked his eyes at that; even though they had been together for over ten years, it still shocked him that underneath that icy façade, Toshiro Hitsugaya was a big softie.

Well, for him anyway.

"Yeah," he whispered, leaning into the soft palm and closing his eyes.

Standing he interlocked his fingers with his lover, and walked with him to their bed. He stood at the side, watching Toshiro get into the bed and pat the side beside him, indicating that he wanted him to hurry up.

Chuckling, Ichigo crawled into the bed, lifting up the covers and laying himself alongside Toshiro while drawing the covers over himself.

He watched as the white haired captain closed his eyes, his breathing evening out to indicate he was asleep. Ichigo watched him for a few more minutes before he too felt slumber's touch. Closing his eyes, he almost missed the words whispered against his lips, drawing a small smile from him.

"I'm here Ichigo. For whatever you need, I'm here."
