End of the Year

Ichigo sat in his desk totally unaware of what his teacher was saying, of course it didn't help that all he could think about was that pineapple.

'Damn him, making me always think about him…'

-----------

"Curse school for being so long." Renji sat at Ichigo's computer looking though random sites that were sort of interesting, but not really caring. All he could think about was Ichigo. "Come on hurry up!''

-----------

The bell rang and Ichigo jumped out of his desk, he was NOT missing another afternoon at home because of stupid school things, especially since it was the last day.

"Hey Ichigo," came a horde of voices.

"Oh hey guys, what's up?"

"You wanna come to the movies tonight? Everyone's celebrating the last day of school!" Keigo basically yelled in his face.

"Sorry guys, I'm celebrating my own way."

"Awe, damn Ichigo, you're no fun," he complained.

"That's ok Ichigo, will see ya later. Say hi to Renji for us will ya?" Orihime said, then everyone walked away.

"Y-yeah sure, see ya guys." Ichigo was still dumbstruck when they would say weird stuff like that.

Ichigo slowly walked home compensating over ideas. Everyone already knew, of course, they knew, it was hard to deny. He was gay. It was Rukia's fault that every one knew. She was "sleeping" in his closet during a very random make out session with Renji one night. Luckily, nothing other than that happed that day when usually something would have.

Ichigo shuttered. The next school day after that little incident, everyone was looking at him all weird. Naturally it was Keigo who came and asked him what happened between them with Rukia snickering and then laughing in the corner of the room. Ichigo got pissed like always and skipped out of school that day. The weeks after that were worse than that day though, everyone knew, but he eventually got over it, after everyone quit asking him of he was gay, and even had Renji meet him after school just for the heck of it to do whatever they wanted to.

Ichigo's house came into view. 'Finally…' He unlatched the gate and as he looked up he saw that flash of red hair coming towards him. A small smile formed on his face.

"Hey there Ichigo, been waitin' for ya all day."

"I had school you idiot."

"I know but it was the last day. Did ya even do anythin'?"

"Not really, but what does that matter?"

"Ya coulda skipped or somthin'."

"Everyone could have guessed why I would have and that's why I didn't. I don't need rumors already. Can we just go inside already? I'm tired and pissed as hell."

"Ooo scary, but sure, it's your house."

Ichigo splattered the contents of his bag on the floor of his room, it made a reasonable mess. There were lots of pencils, broken and whole, notebooks that still looked new, papers from the beginning of the year and many other things that Ichigo never got ride of or used.

"Gees, ever heard of locker cleanout?"

"Yeah it's called the end of the year."

"Don't be smart with me ya strawberry."

"Whatever, you pineapple."

A grin spread across Renji's face. He caught Ichigo around his waist. "Well school's over and we have the whole summer together. What do ya wanna do?"
