"So...?"
"... So what?"
"What did you think?"
Her constant interrogations as of late started to get on his nerves. The tired Substitute Shinigami rolled over to the opposite side of the bed away from her, burying his face into his pillow. "Just let it go already, Rukia! Quit asking!" His voice muffled from under the pillow.
"But what if I'm doing it wrong? I thought sparks are supposed fly and you're supposed to see explosions of color. It gives off so much heat, your bodies become warm, making it hard for your fast-beating heart to keep up with the mix of emotions it's giving off."
Ichigo momentarily lifted the pillow off his face so he can tell it like it is. "Rukia, you need to stop watching those Dramas. They're giving you high expectations of romance." After his blunt remark, he proceeded to hide under his fluffy cushion.
A vein started forming on the small woman's forehead from feeling so insulted. "Why are you being so nonchalant about all this anyway? After all, it was our first ki-" Rukia stopped herself because she felt her face blushing.
Ichigo sighed from Rukia's obvious exhibit of emotional frustration. He sat up from his bed and looked at her straight in the eye. "I know the first... one..." He was embarrassed too for even trying to say it, but continued on. "... is supposed to be special. And it was. It meant something... To the both of us. But honestly, I was thinking that there was going to be more... in the very near future. So you don't have to over-think it and just appreciate it for what it is." This time, Ichigo wrapped his entire blanket over himself to hide his red face.
"Hey! Wait. Don't hide from me!" Rukia pounced on the blanketed roll.
"Leave me alone! I'm being a Metapod!"
"Argh! Come on Ichigo! Quit hiding." She tried to pull the covers away, but Ichigo continued to resist. Her frustration soon turned to relief during this playful moment with her adorable lover.
"Gah! Stop! You're preventing me from becoming a beautiful Butterfree!"
Rukia couldn't help but laugh at him. "You idiot!" They both wound up giggling in between the struggling.
They continued their playful game until Rukia finally uncovered Ichigo's face. With Rukia straddled on top of him, she swooped down to steal a sweet kiss from Ichigo's unsuspecting lips. "If you didn't see fireworks the first time, we're gonna keep doing this until we do!"
End.
