DISCLAIMER: I don't own Bleach, or any of the characters in it. They all belong to Tite Kubo. Besides, if I did, Shirou-chan would be the main character!

A fluffy little oneshot I thought of while wracking my brains over 24 Hours to Live. (I WILL update soon, promise!) Enjoy!


It was summer in Seiretei.

The roofs bathed in the warm sunlight, while a gentle breeze lazily blew through the streets. There was not a cloud in sight.

"Perfect day for eating ice-cream, right Shirou-chan?"

"Mm."

Momo sat up from her spot on the roof to peer over the other side at her snowy-headed captain.

"Shirou-chan! You're not eating yours!"

"Stop calling me Shirou-chan!"

She sighed, clambering over to sit beside him.

"Don't you like ice-cream, Shirou-chan?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Mm."

"But you're a bit like an ice-cream yourself!"

He glared at her, then swivelled round so she couldn't see anything but his back.

"Shirou-chaaaaan."

"Leave me alone, Hinamori."

She considered him silently, head cocked to one side. Then a sly smile crept slowly over her face. She licked her ice-cream one last time.

"Shirou-chan, turn round."

Hitsugaya didn't move.

"Please?"

He whirled around, a snappish remark ready on his tongue.

"Wha-"

His lips were suddenly met with something soft. And sweet.

Soft… and sweet…

Suddenly, he found himself quite enjoying it.

The world seemed to be falling away…

And spinning…

Spinning…

Spinning…

Is this what ice-cream tastes like?

After what seemed like several blissful days, years, or even centuries, she pulled away.

"Well? Did you like it?"

He blinked stupidly.

"Shirou-chan?"

"…"

"It wasn't that bad, was it?"

In an attempt to hide his flaming cheeks, he turned away again to focus on something… anything except for Momo.

"Hitsugaya-taichou?"

That blackbird over there looked very interesting…

After a while, Momo decided he was in no mood for further conversation. Had she been too abrupt? Too forward? Too… un-Momo-ish? Perhaps she should leave him alone for now…

"Wait."

She looked down, and was met with his fist thrusting something at her.

"You can have the cone."


How was that? I know it isn't exactly canon seeing as they don't have ice-cream or blackbirds in the Soul Society but that doesn't matter, does it?

And Pleeeeaaaaase review! It really warms my heart when people review! (And yes I know that sounds very soppy and cheesy but cheese is good for you!)
