IchiRuki- Page 1: She won't say it.

Rukia sat down on a bench outside of school. She was waiting for Ichigo, like always. Rukia was spending more time with him after he saved her from execution in the Sereretei. Rukia was acting a lot friendlier towards Ichigo. In secret, Rukia had feelings for Ichigo ever since he made the Grand Fisher flee. She used to think this was just because of his face, Kaien-dono's face. Now, she realized that his temper and his serious, but gentle personality, were what she was drawn to. Not to mention, his wavy orange hair and deep brown eyes. She snapped out of the thought when she heard, "Hey, Rukia."

She turned and saw the tall, handsome teenager, Kurosaki Ichigo. Okay, Rukia. Remember, you're going to give him hints. Today, you're going to call him, Ichigo-kun. Is that right? Is "kun" the right word? But what if- Her thoughts were interrupted when Ichigo tapped her on the head and asked if she was in there. She looked at him and said, "Oh, hi Ichigo." You coward. You can't even say that silly honorific. She stood up and patted her skirt.

She smiled and Ichigo raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you feeling okay? You seem rather cheerful." Ichigo inquired. Rukia nodded. "I'm fine. Let's get going." Ichigo and Rukia started walking to Ichigo's house. Ever since Rukia first gave Ichigo her powers, she had been living in his closet on a cot. She didn't mind the small quarters very much, why with sleeping in the same room as Ichigo, she didn't care. Rukia was a few feet in front of Ichigo. She was so lost in thought that she stumbled over her own feet, regained her balance, lost her balance and fell backward. Ichigo rushed over and caught her before she fell. Rukia felt her face turn a little red. "Watch your step, Rukia." Ichigo said in a slightly sarcastic manner. Rukia smiled as she looked at his cheeks. They were turning a light shade of red. Ichigo got an embarrassed look on his face as he put her upright. They continued walking. Ichigo put his hand behind his head trying to force the red away from his face. Rukia could tell what he was trying to do. She thought it was cute how he was afraid to blush in front of a girl. She quickly discarded that thought. He's your partner for Kami's sake. I wonder if we'll ever be more than part- friends. Rukia thought.

Later that night

It was 1:00 A.M. and was freezing cold. Ichigo was woken up by a loud chattering noise. He heard it coming from the closet, where Rukia slept. He walked over to the closet door and opened it. "Rukia," he said poking her head. "W-what d-do y-you w-want, b-b-b-baka," she said in shivers. "Are you okay? You look awfully cold, midget," he responded. "I-I-I'm f-fine. A-a-and don't c-c-call m-m-me m-midget!" He sighed, "Are you sure?" "Y-y-yes! I'm sure!" "...Liar." "Sh-shut up!" He sighed again and picked her up, bridal style. "What are y-y-you d-d-doing, b-b-b-b-b-baka!" She yelped. He carried her over to his bed and placed her on his bed. "Look, it's very clear to the both of us, that you're freezing your ass off. So shut up and go to sleep." He lifted the sheet and jumped into bed beside her. After just a few minutes, Rukia was shivering again. This continued for at least a half hour. Ichigo was fed up and annoyed. "Rukia, would you stop that?" he asked, rather demanded. "I can't help shivering, baka," she retorted. He sighed and wrapped an arm around her. Rukia blushed. "Ichigo, you baka, what are you doing?" He answered, "Hey, I'm just trying to make you stop shivering okay?" Rukia's flushed expression changed to a calm one. Ichigo flushed as he felt small hands cover his arms. Rukia smiled, "Just accepting your offer." He wouldn't go to sleep for hours like this. First of all, Rukia was pressing his arm into her chest, unintentionally of course. Secondly, he wasn't wearing a shirt which would only increase the sexual tension. Rukia soon fell asleep. He smiled slightly and rested his chin on top of her head.

A/N: End of chapter one! I know it's a little short but I'll try to make the next one longer.
