Ok! I just got a review for both of my Bleach drabbles (thank you so much!) which revived my passion for Ichi/Hana! I also just got the Bleach game for my Nintendo DS and I am obsessed to no end with it! The voices are English…and it kinda bugs me…but I can deal! Hanatarou my dear…I love you! So under-appreciated. Poor thing. But not to worry! Ichigo is here to save the day… and by the way, doesn't he always have to be the hero? Give the guy a break sometimes! He must be tired. LOL. OK! Enough ranting. Here is the third drabble of my Bleach Ichi/Hana series. I think it's the second-to-last though because I want to write an actual full story soon. It's going to be multiple people in love with Hanatarou! YAY! It's more of a crack fic but it won't be just chaos and stupidity. Please keep an eye out for it! Sometime next month maybe?
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters of Bleach.
Warning: Boy/boy love! Fluff and OOC-ness, especially from Ichigo. This takes place during the Arrancar arc I suppose…but doesn't really have any specific timeline.
Drabble #3- You Are Not Alone
Ichigo's POV
Hanatarou...got hurt because of me. I was too busy fighting that damn Arrancar that I forgot he was there. Rukia, Orihime, Chad, and Ishida were also in the midst of battle so the chances of them keeping an eye out for him were already low. Besides, I am the one who is in love with him, so I definitely should be the one to protect him. He came to see me and was about to tell me something important when we were attacked. My heart was pounding with anticipation and for some reason I was positive that he was about to confess his love for me. Damn that Arrancar! What if he really was going to tell me what I want to hear the most?
My friends tell me to calm down and that I shouldn't blame myself…but I do. Self-loathing is fine with me. I hate myself. Hana got hurt because I wasn't paying attention! How could I ever forgive myself for that? Now I am just sitting by his futon (we are in Urahara's shop) and I don't care that I keep getting strange looks because I'm holding his hand. Let me be alone with him in peace you idiots! Sheesh. They just won't leave. Ishida in particular seems rather reluctant to go home. There is an obvious suspicion in his eye…but that freak can just butt out! It's none of his business! Rukia has a knowing smile but at least she's not teasing me openly about it…yet. I just need to make sure my Hana knows that I'm here and that I'm not going anywhere.
I love my flower. He got hurt because of me. And now I am anxiously waiting for him to wake up. I need to apologize…I need to tell him the truth before I explode. If there is the slightest chance that he loves me back, then I swear I will be the happiest guy in the world. For now though, I can only watch him sleep and hold his hand. His skin is soft and creamy. It's better than I ever imagined. His cheeks are slightly rosy which relieves me because it's a good sign of health. Whenever I see him, he always looks worn out, stressed, and over-worked. Now, the dark circles are gone and his aura is calm. My flower is beautiful, and I don't care if no one else sees it.
I hope he wakes up soon…so that I can tell him that I love him…and that I am never going to leave him alone again. My flower got hurt because of me…and I'm not sure I can ever forgive myself.
Please review! I hope to write the next (and last) one soon! Thanks for any previous reviewers who have come back to read this one!
