AN This is the second IchiRuki oneshot I made. Sorry if the characters are a bit OOC.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, what is so sad…

Just thinking...

Ichigo and Rukia were having toast for breakfast. They weren't quite in the mood of talking. A Saturday morning, and on Friday they were awake until late fighting hollows. One actually appeared 4 am. They were a bit tired, actually, a lot. Rukia took a bite of her toast and looked away thoughtfully.

"Ichigo?" She asked, trying to break the silence and hoping he would answer.

"Yeah?" He answered in a tired tone.

"What names do you like?" She was clear at her question.

"Hm? What do you mean?" He asked, not understanding where she wanted to get.

"Names… Like Rukia, Ichigo, Karin… Get it?" She explained impatient with the dumbness of the boy.

"Whatever." He said, in the same mood and still tired. He took a bite of his toast. "Ichigo… Makoto… Yumi… I dunno… I don't want to think right now…"

"…" Rukia started to think again, he noticed by the expression she used. He knew her very well, he also knew that she knows him as well too.

"Why?" He asked, now curious to know what was passing in the little shinigami's head.

"I was just thinking on my future… If one day I marry and have children, what names would I choose to name them." She said, now she finally took the thinking look off her face and started eating her toast again. He looked at her, she looked back. They looked at each other like they were trying to guess what was passing in each others mind. Ichigo smiled.

"What?" He said, still smiling and looking at her in the eyes.

"Nothing… I was just thinking…" She said, smiling and taking a bite of her toast.

"Yeah… Me too." He said, smiling and eating his toast as well.
