Come to me, I am here.

The funeral was wrapping up as they lower the coffin in the ground. Orihime hasn't said a single word since Ichigo's death. Uryu watched as they lowered it and everyone tossed dirt on top of it. He sighed knowing Ichigo was just fine living with everyone in the soul society. He wanted to be there for Orihime through this and hopefully, with time she will be herself once again. Afterward, Uryu took Orihime home and stayed with her for days. "Do you want some food? Water to drink?" No answer came. She was eating and drinking but she just wasn't saying anything to him. "Orihime. I know you miss him. I do too. I hope he doesn't hear that." Please talk to me. You're not alone. I'm here for you. If you need anything, Okay?" She didn't answer. he wished he could ask Ichigo to come back and help but that wasn't going to work. months passed. "Orihime, I like you. I always have. I know I'm not Ichigo but I am here. I won't leave you like he did. So, please. Talk to me." Uryu started to cry. He did love her. He wanted her to see him. And after Ichigo left she just broke. "He said, you'd say that." Finally, she spoke. "And I love you too." He was in shock. He hugged her and she finally came back to her normal self. Back to him.

Orihime is not one of the characters I like but this just felt right to me. Not Ichigo and her but her with Uryu. This is just fine for me. Hope you like it. Who do you like with Orihime? Or why like her at all? Tell me.
