Modern AU

Toshrio and Ichigo were sitting in a coffee shop in Downtown Karukura. Having been too cold outside to continue their walk they were forced to take refuge and much to Ichigo complete and utter disappointment his boyfriend's,ex happened to work there. That day. There. In the coffee shop. With Toshiro and Ichigo there.

It was peaceful. The smell of coffee, tea and sweets filled Ichigo's senses. Getting his and Toshiro's drinks and walking back to their place by the window. He gave his little lover a swift kiss and handed him his tea. Ichigo settled into his seat and sighed. Please stay peaceful.

"Toshiro! Long time no see, huh? Its great too see you,"Toshiro's ex, Kusaka, called as he made his way towards them, obviously now on break. ('are you serious?' Ichigo thought)

Toshiro jumped a little in surprise which resulted in almost dropping his tea, "Kusaka-san, how are you?" he asked once he regained is composer. Ichigo glanced quickly between them before straightening his form and looking out the window. Toshiro and Kusaka were together nine years before Ichigo came into the picture. During their third year of college Kusaka and Toshiro broke up and Kusaka has always blamed Ichigo.

"I've been good. Busy, but good. What about you? Its been, like, six years since we've seen each other," Kusaka said with a gentle smile that made Ichigo want to throw his through the window. Toshiro on the other hand seemed unaffected by it and returned the smile. Wait, what? Ichigo looked at his boyfriend slightly shocked, Toshiro rarely smiles, hell even Ichigo has a slightly hard time getting him to smile. This made Ichigo seethe silently.

"I've been great, actually. Not much going on, that's a relief." Toshiro answered with a shrug.

Kusaka laughed,"Not as busy as you were in college now,huh?"

Toshiro shook his head with a smile,"No, I suppose not". Ichigo thought he was invisible. Seriously, he was sitting right here!

"Ah, Toshiro, I miss you," the boyfriend stealing devil said with a gentle tone that caused Toshiro's eyes to soften.

Well, fuck it.

"Kusaka?"

"Sorry, that was stupid. I know you have a boyfriend and everything," he said with a sigh.

Toshiro froze. Boyfriend. Ichigo! "Oi, Ichigo, lets ge-.." Toshiro stopped short when he turned around to see his orange headed boyfriend was no longer behind him. All that was there was the coffee shops' napkin with familiar hand writing on it.

'Tell Kusaka it was great catching up with him, for me, yeah? Later, Toshiro.'

Shit.
