Okay…I wanted to do a fanfic with a pairing that I had never seen before. So, here is what you get: Ichigo x Yumichika! Please don't blow my head off or anything! This is purely for fun! Oh, and it deviates from the actual anime/manga in plot, though it starts out at the time when the shinigami come to Karakura town to help fight hollows. Sometime just before Orihime gets kidnapped.

Warnings: I'm rating this M because of language and adult situations (i.e. possible lemon). Oh, and I have no beta, so excuse misspellings or run-on sentences or left out words and the like.

Ayasegawa Yumichika slipped quietly out the front door while no one was looking and breathed a huge sigh of relief as soon as he had safely arrived on the other side of the street from that scary house with those scary people! Asano Keigo had so graciously allowed (under fear of death!) he and his good buddy, Madarame Ikkaku, to sleep at his house with him and his sister while they were staying in the living world. Keigo's sister was the reason why Yumichika was currently sneaking away from the house on tiptoe. Oh, it didn't really have anything to do with Yumichika himself, rather it had to do with Ikkaku. Apparently Keigo's sister had a thing for bald guys, and well, Ikkaku was glaringly bald with a nice shiny head. Hence, Keigo's sister was all over Ikkaku constantly and wouldn't quit squealing or mooning over Ikkaku. It was driving Yumichika nuts! He had to get out of that house and he had to do it sneakily, because if Ikkaku saw him leave then he would want to come too which would mean that annoying girl would follow as well and then he wouldn't be getting away from it at all!

So, now he was safely across the street from the house and he took off at a comfortable (and very beautiful, mind you) jog. At first he didn't know where he was going but then it seemed that his feet had decided to carry him in the direction of Ichigo's house. Ah, Kurosaki Ichigo, the substitute shinigami and the guy they had all come to Karakura town to help. Yumichika had never really had much contact with the guy up until he came to the human world this time, and now he had been seeing quite a lot of him. As it turned out, Yumichika actually found this strange orange haired boy rather beautiful. Whenever he was near him he found himself spending great quantities of time just staring dreamily at the boy. His height and weight were the perfect proportion to each other. He had just enough muscle to make him look like he was at the peak of fitness (which he was), but not so much that it started looking gross and overdone. He face was sculpted so wonderfully and proportionally and even his bright orange hair somehow didn't look out of place, but rather added to the whole startling effect. Yes, this boy was just beautiful; an artist would die to paint a picture of him! Well, at least, that is what Yumichika thought. So, yes, he would visit the boy, if only to gaze at him for awhile.

In a couple more steps he arrived at said boy's house and stood looking at the front door for a moment before lifting his hand and knocking. He knew that all the other crazy psycho shinigami that had come with him to the real world never bothered with the door and always jumped in Ichigo's window. But seriously, how beautiful was that?! It was ugly and rude to jump, unanouced into someone's bedroom. So, he waited at the door. A moment later the door was opened by a cute little blonde girl who was wearing an apron and had a wooden spoon in her right hand. How adorable! Yumichika thought with glee.

"Um, can I help you?" the little girl asked hesitantly.

"Oh, yes, excuse my rudeness. Is Ichigo at home?" Yumichika responded quickly.

"Uh, yes, he is!" the girl's blonde head nodded vigorously. "Please come and I'll get him for you!"

So, Yumichika thanked the girl and stepped into the house, waiting in the tiny foyer for the girl, who must have been Ichigo's little sister, to bring Ichigo back with her. A couple of minutes later and the little girl appeared again with a smile on her face and a grumpy looking Ichigo trailing behind her. Ichigo glanced up to see who had so rudely interrupted his nap and his eyes snapped wide open at seeing who it was.

"Yumichika?!" he yelled in an obscenely loud voice. "What the hell are you doing here?! And at night?!!" He waved a hand wildly in the direction of outside.

Yumichika grinned at him and said, "Well, that should be obvious. I came to see you, Ichigo."

"Why in the world would you come to see me?!" Ichigo demanded in just as loud a voice. "Besides, weren't you and Ikkaku staying with Keigo or something like that?" He scratched the back of his head, perplexed. Why was Yumichika standing here in his foyer, wearing a pair of nice jeans and a button up shirt, looking at him with a big smile on his face? A big, creepy smile, rather.

Yumichika's face fell when he heard the names 'Ikkaku', and 'Keigo'. "Yes, I was staying there," he groaned. "But Keigo's sister has a crush on Ikkaku because he's bald and she won't quit squealing and carrying on and I just couldn't stand it anymore. So, I left."

"And you decided to come here?!" Ichigo choked out."Why in the world?! And wait, Keigo's sis has a crush on Ikkaku because he's bald?!"

"That's what I said," Yumichika answered patiently. "And I came here because you aren't as bad to be in the presence of as everyone else I could think of and I'm not going to spend the night outside. Oh, and are you going to invite me any further into your house or are we just going to spend the whole evening standing in the foyer?"

"Ah! Sorry!" Ichigo apologized quickly and motioned with his hand for Yumichika to follow him as he walked off through the kitchen and living room and then up the stairs to his bedroom. He opened the door and let Yumichika in ahead of him, following him in and shutting the door. He plopped down on his bed and scratching the back of his head he peered up at Yumichika who was still standing still in the middle of the room and said, "So, are you gonna sit down anytime soon or you just gonna stand there all night?"

"Oh!" Yumichika started, he had been in a little daze looking around at Ichigo's rather sparse room. He walked over to the desk and sat down in the chair, turning it so it faced Ichigo. "I hope you don't mind me coming over. I just really couldn't stand that place for two seconds longer. I might have killed everyone!"

Ichigo threw back his head and laughed. "Haha! Yeah, if Keigo's sister is anything like him then it's probably horrible with two of them in the house at the same time! Wow, poor Ikkaku! Naw, I take that back. Ikkaku's just getting what was coming to him! Haha!!"

Yumichika studied the laughing Ichigo, who was oblivious to the scrutinizing stare. Ichigo looked so…so…gorgeous when he laughed! Yumichika hadn't thought that he could get any more beautiful than he already was but now he knew that he had been wrong in that assumption. So beautiful! Suddenly Ichigo's laughter stopped.

"Um, why are you staring at me like that, Yumichika?" Ichigo asked nervously. "You're seriously freaking me out, dude." He scuttled back a little bit further on his bed and stared with wide eyes at the fanatical and adoring look on Yumichika's face. Yumichika didn't answer, mainly because he didn't hear Ichigo at all. He was too entranced. "Yo, dude!" Ichigo yelled, waving a hand in front of Yumichika's face. "Quit staring at me as if you are in love with me! What are you? Gay?!"

Yumichika snapped out of it suddenly when he heard those words. He sat back and looked with wide eyes at Ichigo and then he calmed down and said very serenely, "Why yes, actually, I am gay."

Author's notes:

Alright guys, you know that Yumichika is gay. I mean, he obviously has to be! Look at that hair! And that eye brow ornament. And for heaven's sake, even his shinigami robes are dressed up! So, yeah, I just had to add that in. Tune in next time to find out how Ichigo takes this news!

Matane!
