Pre-Soul Society arc: a.k.a. Rukia still sleeps in the closet. Ah, those were the days… :-)

Don't own Bleach – never have, never will.

In Deep

o.O.o.O.o

I knew I was in deep – the day I first started wondering about them.

Were they really that small or did she keep them bound, hidden from prying eyes? It certainly wouldn't be unheard of, especially given the era – er, whichever that might be – she was from. Well, it was before the invention of modern undergarments, I knew that much for sure. And the business of soul reaping could be extremely physical, so it's plausible that they might get it the way.

Of course, she looked exactly the same when wearing pajamas, but it was possible she waited until she was safely hidden away in the closet to change. Probably not a bad idea for a girl sharing a room with a teenage guy.

Then again, maybe she really is little, just like the rest of her. And somehow that suits her.

Either way, by this point I have officially put entirely too much thought into the matter. Especially considering the fact that she's currently sleeping about 5 meters away from me. And even more especially, the fact that it's really none of my business.

I rolled over in a tangle of crumpled sheets, futilely imagining that a change of position would also change my train of thought. No such luck. Why do I suddenly feel like a certain perverted mod soul?

Tossing back over to my original side, I had a fleeting thought that hopefully she was asleep and unaware of my nocturnal restlessness. No doubt she would somehow be able to sense just where my depraved mind had gone.

It's really not my fault. I challenge any guy to share a room with an annoying, opinionated, stubborn, sexy midget – shit – did I just think that? Dammit, this has got to stop.

I could ask, of course, but that conversation would likely end with a kido to the crotch. Definitely not good.

And a couple dirty manga under the bed aside, it would take a much greater pervert than me to risk a look. Not to mention that that adventure would likely end exactly the same way as coming right out and asking. I cringed.

But maybe, just maybe I'd find out some day.

Until then I probably shouldn't think about it...

Starting tomorrow.

o.O.o

A/N - Not too fluffy, I hope! Of course it is almost Valentines Day, so that's my excuse for all these silly drabbles - hope you enjoyed:)
