Chapter 1
A/N: hi everyone I know I have a lot of unfinished work but I really have a thing for this couple at the moment. It's rather short for a chapter but will try and make the rest a bit longer. Beta read by my friend on Facebook. Please R&R! Enjoy!
Ikkaku's POV
I heaved a sigh as my friends dragged me down the street after being 'convinced' I needed to go and help them shop. I was pretty sure that Rangiku just wanted me to help her to carry all the bags of shopping she'd end up with. "Oh stop looking so glum Ikkaku, you'll like my friend who works there, I guarantee it~" she said with a knowing look.
I gave another sigh as my red headed friend nudged me also giving me a knowing look. "Stop giving me that look, Renji. It's bad enough that I get it from Rangiku," I scolded. He just laughed at me as they continued to drag me down to the shop they had spoke about.
We walked in and Rangiku walked off without waiting. Renji stayed at my side as if he was making sure I didn't run away. It wasn't long before I heard Rangiku's voice, "hey Yumi! I'm glad you're working today...I brought someone to see you while Renji and I shop," she informed him.
She grabbed his hand and started to drag him with her just like she had done to me. To say I was surprised when I saw the guy following behind her was an understatement. I couldn't put it into words...he was just so gorgeous! it should be an offense to look that good. "Ikkaku..." Renji said as he waved his hand in front of my face.
I growled at him and battered his hand away from me. "Yumi, this is my friend Ikkaku. Ikkaku, this is my friend, Yumichika," she introduced us.
We both looked at each other, rather awkward and shy...so I decided to break the ice. "Hey there." He returned the greeting with an adorable blush spread across his cheeks. "How are you?" I asked to try and start up a conversation.
He looked me in the eyes as he answered me, captivating me with the most gorgeous purple eyes I'd ever seen before that I almost missed his reply "I'm doing okay how about yourself?"
I smiled at him, an honest smile. "I'm doing much better, now that I've met you~" I said with a wink, making him blush a bit more. "Are you single? I know we just met, but you're so beautiful it's hard to imagine you single," I said honestly.
I can say that his blush intensified at that and his reply was little more than whisper. "I-I'm single..." I thought he was so cute.
I rarely dated these days what with most people being complete assholes and not wanting to put myself through such things only to get my heart broken, but there was something about Yumichika that made me want to try again.
"Would you allow me the chance to change that?" I asked with a small smirk. His cheeks remained a cute shade of red.
Before he could answer me, Renji came up behind me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "How's it going then?" He asked.
Yumichika was as red as a tomato as he looked to the floor, clearly embarrassed. "W-well Ikkaku just asked me out on a date..." He said shyly.
"Ohhhhh what did you say?!" Renji asked eagerly. I moved out of his arm and proceeded to punch said arm. "Owww! What was that for!?"
"You interrupted us before he could answer, you dipstick!" I yelled half heartedly at him. He rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly at that.
Renji looked from me to Yumichika. "Well, Yumi, are you going to give baldy a chance?" He asked the other.
I kicked him for calling me bald, but my eyes never left Yumichika as I waited for a response to the earlier question. After a minute of awkward silence, he finally spoke. "Y-yes I'll let you try and change it..."
I grinned at that. "Great! I'll pick you up after your shift tomorrow," I said happily and he nodded. "Fancy going to the movies? Then a nice dinner?" He just simply nodded seemingly embarrassed.
Renji patted my shoulder before going off again I assumed to find and inform Rangiku of what just happened. I sighed softly "I'm looking forward to taking you out tomorrow," I said softly.
He smiled at me and I thought my heart would stop right then and there. "I am too..." He said softly still smiling at me.
Rangiku and Renji came over to us, bags in hand. "We're done now, Ikkaku," Rangiku said with a knowing smile.
We both blushed a little at that, I moved over to him and placed a kiss onto his cheek. "I'll see you tomorrow..." I whispered before walking over to the pair of idiots I had come with.
