A/N: Helllllllllllllllllllo, sirs and madams. Just the author here, asking if you would be so kind as to review if you ever decide to read my story~
Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach, this is not for my own profit it is merely for fun.
Summary: Orihime plans on confronting her feeling to her crush on Valentines Day, what she doesn't know is that he has plans of his own, and even has a surprise waiting for her on that very day.
Rated: M for future sexual scenes, most likely around the last few chapters.
I used to think valentine's day was just like any other day.
It comes and goes, nothing special really happened to me on those days.
Love...
My brother once told me what love was, and I experienced what loving someone was like.
Yes, I loved my brother but in a sisterly way. What I mean, is completely different.
There's someone I cherish in my heart.
All these years, he's been there for me. The smile I wear on my face, is because of him.
I'm alive, because of him.
He has done so much more for me, than people know.
He helped me strived to become stronger, and I still strive to be strong enough so I wouldn't make him suffer because of me, anymore.
But now... I want him to know, how I feel.
I want to be able to hold his hand, be side by side with him.
In the future, I hope to accomplish many things, and I hope they involve being with him.
Being able to hug him, love him, everything.
Being able to look up into his amazing hazel eyes, and see nothing but happiness.
Embracing him... showing him the compassion I've always desired to give him.
All this time, I've hid my feelings. The only time I've actually confessed, was when he wasn't even awake. I... I.. assume that doesn't count, right? He doesn't know how I truely feel.
People around him know, except him, himself.
That's fine, because I'll show him.
Maybe I'll get rejected.
I'm fine with that... aslong as I know what the outcome would have been, and not regret never trying in the future.
I just really hope, rejection doesn't become a reality.
I just hope, he feels the same way I feel.
Either way, I'll still love him... Kurosaki-kun.
''Okay class, and tomorrow's lesson will be on...'' the teacher rambled on, and began finishing up before the last class of the day ended, and was currently writing things down on her board.
With a small giggle, Orihime quietly snuck behind Ichigo who was currently sinked into his textbook, not aware of her behind him. Holding a small card behind her, she attempted carefully to slip it into his bag.
Closer...
A little bit more...
''Inoue, what are you doing?'' without turning his head, he startled her and she quickly hid the card behind her back with a nervous smile trying to act normal.
''Oh umm, sorry I was just trying to kill a bug. Yeah, a bug, there was one on your school bag! Ahaha... ha...'' she awkwardly laughed hoping he would buy the small lie.
''Hmm, what is this?'' the teacher took the card out of her hands. ''Miss Inoue, you know we do not allow notes to be passed around during class.''
''Y-Yes ma'm... forgive me.'' turning her head, Orihime looked up to a very much displeased teacher with crossed arms.
''As punishment, I'm going to read this to the entire class to see what was so important, you HAD to tell before the end of class.'' she walked in front of the class room, and opened the card, on the cover it had several little red hearts.
''Tell me something?'' Ichigo looked up from his back, at the teacher, then back at Orihime, on the floor who was currently getting red in the face.
''...Oh no...'' The auburn haired girl sat back at her desk, biting down on her lip nervously. Hoping maybe the teacher wouldn't be so cruel, and actually see the meaning in the card and keep it a secret.
''Hmm... roses are red.'' she began reciting the words.
Or not.
''Violents are blue...'' Orihime hid her face in her arms on the desk, putting her head down, wanting to cry from the embarassment.
Before the teacher could finish speaking, Ichigo stood up from his desk and walked up to the teacher. He snatched it out of her hand, and shot her a glare. ''Isn't it impolite to read something someone personally wrote to a bunch of strangers?''
All the students looked up at the two, surprised to see him standing up to her like that, since it was obviously stupid. Her face still having a faint red color on her face, Orihime looked up slightly from her arms to see what was happening.
''Kurosaki Ichigo, did you just snatch something from me?'' she raised an eyebrow, astonished at his sudden turn of behavior.
''Yeah, and I'm sure as hell not giving it back.'' he stored it inside his pants' pocket.
''Unless you want det-'' her words were paused when the school bell rang.
''Heh, see ya.'' He walked out of the class with a smirk, and left before she could assign detention.
With a sigh, she walked down the school hallway. Looking down, she couldn't forget the terrible embarassment in class. ''Why did I even attempt that?'' she asked herself, beggining to think this entire Valentines Day plan was most likely going to fail. Things never went right when she really needed them to.
''I'm so pathetic... I bet he probably thinks I'm some weirdo now...'' she mumbled to herself.
''Inoue wait.'' someone caught her attention, which caused her to stop walking. When she turned around, her frown instantly changed to a surprised expression, her eyes opening up to seeing Ichigo in front of him.
''Oh umm... sorry Kurosaki-kun... about the whole... thing that happened in class...'' she looked to the side, frowning again, not wanting to make eye contact.
''It's fine.'' He ruffled the back of his orange hair, ''I just wanted to give this card back to you, since it seemed important.'' he took the card out from the back of his pocket and held it out to her, and Orihime just stared at it in his hand and looked up at him. Eventually she did take it back.
''Don't worry, I didn't read it. Since, I guess it was personal.'' He gave her a small, reassuring smile.
a small tint of red appeared on her cheeks, she couldn't believe how humble he could be at times. A grin manage to form on her face, ''Actually... well um, it's for you!'' she handed it back to him, and he just gave her a puzzled expression. She gestured for him to open it.
Opening the card up, he read what it said outloud.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
I know how cheesy this sounds
but I just wanted to say how much I care
about you.
-Sincerly Orihime
Embarassingly tapping her index fingers together, her cheeks turned pink as she nervously looked down. When Ichigo finished reading the card, he closed it and stood silent for a moment.
''I wasn't really expecting something like this...'' he finally said, and put the card in his schoolbag.
''It sounds stupid... I know, sorry...'' she murmured.
''No.'' he leaned towards her and pressed his lips against her right cheek, which caused her cheeks to turn a brighter pink. ''I actually think it's kinda nice, but anyway see you tomorrow.'' and with those last words he walked away from Orihime, leaving the auburn haired girl mesmerized, and speechless.
''Did he just... kiss my cheek?'' she patted the area where he kissed her at, and her heartbeat started to beat rapidly, her gray orbs widening. ''His lips... they were so soft... I wonder how they would feel.. on my-'' she stopped her perverted thoughts, and shook her head to snap sense into herself. ''No Orihime, stop it. It was just a cheek kiss.'' she sighed, knowing that was all it was.
''Either way... I can't believe he did that...'' her hands laid flat on her cheeks as she got lost in her own little daze, her cheeks turning red again from the blushing.
''Orihime, why are you talking to yourself?'' Tatsuki raised an eyebrow as she came beside the daydreaming girl.
''Oh um, I just uh, I thought I saw someone. Anyway, um, lets go home.'' Orihime quickly grabbed Tatsuki's arm and scurried out to avoid anyone else that might've seen her speaking to herself.
A/N: I know it's short, but I needed someway to start it off~ Think of it as a little prologue to start off the whole thing for the both of them.
Reviews? I wanna know how I did~
