Yes I know It's been awhile since my last fanfic, but as of now I am writing again. Even though I haven't written in awhile I have been looking at my account and using the new image manager( which I LOVE!)

so I'm not totally rusty but I might need some time get back into things.

It was a cold dark winter evening. The snow outside was piled high and the winter breeze was as cold as a black widow's heart. Most people would be inside bundled in a warm blanket trying to keep warm, but a certain ginger haired high school boy had an important place to be. Ichigo Kurosaki, pushing his way through the chilling winds, was on his way to deliver a brightly colored gift to his secret love. Keigo. Asano. His secret love was just that; a secret. It was such a well kept secret even Keigo himself had no idea of the shinigami's feelings toward was the small brunette boy's birthday and Ichigo had been planning to give Burnett the best gift he could give. Ichigo's foot steps crunched as he stepped through piles of snow that had been left unshoveled. It had been half an hour of pushing through the sheer frost of the winter air till Ichigo finally made it to Keigo's front door. Ichigo made five or eight loud knocks on the door before the object of Ichigo's affection answered the door. Keigo had a surprised, but joyfully ecstatic look on his face as he realised who was at his door.

"ICHIGO!" Keigo cried as he leapt forward to cling to the freezing boy on his front porch.

"You remembered today was my birthday." Keigo yelled out still, still holding on to Ichigo.

"Of course I did." Ichigo said, inviting himself into the smaller boy's home knowing he wouldn't mind.

While Ichigo took of his winter wear, Keigo went off into the kitchen looking for something he and Ichigo could share. Ichigo took notice to the dark apartment and the fact that Keigo was alone on his birthday.

"Hey keigo, where's Mizuho?"

"She's sleeping over at her friend's house." Keigo said from inside the kitchen.

Ichigo took a seat on the couch in front of the horror movie Keigo was playing on the TV. After a few minutes of blood and torn ligaments on the screen, Keigo came into the living room with a pot of Mizutaki.

"Wow that smells great." Ichigo said, taking a bowl and spoon from Keigo.

"I made It myself." Keigo said proudly."

"Its not like I'm not happy to see you, but why did you come Ichi?" Keigo asked, scooping some of the chicken soup into both his and Ichigo's bowl.

"I came to give you a gift for you birthday." Ichigo said handing Keigo the orange and pink box.

"What is it?"

"something I wanted to give you for awhile now." Ichigo scooted closer to Keigo on the couch.

"OK, but what is it?" The brunette boy was stumped at what it could be in the box.

"Just open it and find out." Ichigo was now close enough that his and Keigo's thighs were touching.

Keigo tore off the colorful paper and opened the fairly large box to that it was empty.

"I don't see it?" Keigo said, obviously annoyed and confused.

"Then I'll show you." Ichigo said,lightly pushing his lips against the smaller boy's. Keigo was caught of guard by the contact, but he enjoyed the closeness he felt toward his new love.

"What was it?" Keigo asked once the light kiss had ended.

"My love."
