My lovely beta-chan, Healer gave me the prompt "fish" for any pairing and I chose IchiHime.

I actually wrote this like a month ago but didn't post it. So I'm posting it now. XD

There will be more to come soon.

Fish

Normally, the crowd of people pushing and shoving would irradiate the hell out of him but right now he didn't really care about the crowd, all he cared about was making the auburn-haired beauty walking next to him happy. It was her idea after all to come to the Hanabi festival, he could never say no to her, especially when she pouted. That pout of hers even caused him to wear a dark blue yukata that only seemed to make his orange hair brighter.

He looked down at his girlfriend, knowing that she was overjoyed to be there with him. It was their first time being at the Hanabi festival together. That was her reason for having the both of them wear yukatas. He had to admit that she did look even more beautiful in her yukata that was light green with pink and white flowers and an obi that seemed to match her hair color. Her hair was neatly twisted up and secured by a white clip, letting her ends fall over it, with her blue hairpins on each side of her head. He smiled inwardly, knowing that he was extremely lucky to have her as a girlfriend.

She looked up at him when she felt his eyes on her. "Is there something wrong, Ichigo-kun?"

"No, nothing's wrong," he looked up at the crowd. "Where do you want to go now?"

Orihime looked around at the different stands trying to decide what she could do next with her boyfriend. They already spent some time at some of the food stands and her stomach was full enough that she felt like she was about to burst. She needed to find something that she knew Ichigo wouldn't mind doing, she knew that was going to hard. Her big grey eyes widen when they laid on a particular stand.

"How about this one?" Orihime wrapped her arm around his and pulled him to the direction of the stand.

He looked down to see a group of people crouched down surrounding a small pool of goldfishes. "Goldfish scooping?"

The auburn-haired beauty nodded in excitement. The substitute shinigami rubbed the back of his neck as she just stared up at him waiting for his response. "Alright," how could he say no when she looked so excited.

The stand owner gave Orihime her Poi and bowl once Ichigo paid. "You're not playing, Ichigo-kun?" She asked seeing that he the owner only gave her a Poi and bowl.

He shook his head. "I'd rather watch you have fun."

A light shade of pink appeared on her face as he smiled at her. She crouched down next to the small pool. She lowered her bowl into the water, tilting it so that some water could enter it. The surrounding goldfishes swam away from the bowl making it hard for Orihime to scoop one. She lowered the Poi into the water, with it she slowly tried to follow the goldfishes. Ichigo just looked on with amusement as Orihime furrowed her eyebrows as she tried to follow the goldfishes but they swam away from her. Orihime quickly scooped the nearest goldfish into the bowl only to have the paper Poi rip completely.

"Aw, I lost." Orihime pouted in defeat.

"Let me get one." Ichigo told the owner as he pulled out his money. He crouched down right next to his girlfriend and lowered both his Poi and bowl into the water.

Orihime looked over to the substitute shinigami who was focused the task at hand. "Ichigo-kun…" She looked down at the pool and before her eyes Ichigo scooped the nearest goldfish into the bowl with ease. "Wow…"

"It's nothing really. I used to do it for Karin and Yuzu when they were little." He told her as they both stood up straight. He handed the bowl to the stand owner who poured the water and goldfish into a small clear plastic bag. Ichigo took the bag from the owner and handed it to Orihime. "Here, for you."

Orihime took the bag from him and looked at the goldfish swimming around. She looked him smiling, a shade of pink appearing on cheeks again. "Thank you, Ichigo-kun." She stood on her toes so her lips could reach his in a quick and loving kiss.

The same shade of pink that was on Orihime's cheeks appeared on his, he wasn't expecting for her to kiss him in front of all these people. Smiling at her, he asked, "Where do you want to go next?"
