This Is Who We Are
This is my first Bleach fanfiction attempt so I apologize if I get some things wrong. I'm not the best writer, so bare with me if my writing is terrible.
These will be a bunch of one-shots for the IchiHitsu ship. Some might be AU ones, or based in the normal storyline. I hope you enjoy! :)
Chapter 1: Time for Change
"Hey, Toshiro?"
"It's Captain Hitsugaya!"
Teal eyes peeled away from the reports and over at the orange-haired Substitute Soul Reaper that was laying on the couch in the office. A frown on his face like usual, especially when he wasn't called by his title name. "What do you want, Kurosaki?"
Ichigo leaned up slightly to look at the small captain from over the back of the couch, grinning. "You're not going to let that go, are ya?" He watched him roll his eyes before carrying on working on his paperwork. "C'mon, Toshiro. We've been dating for three months now; surely I'm allowed to call you by your first name now."
He felt the heat of his blood trying to rush into his cheeks just from the word 'dating', as he was still trying to get use to all of this. Swallowing nervously, Toshiro glanced back at the other but was unsure what to say, since his heart was telling him one thing but his head was telling him another. However he did promise Ichigo that he would try and be more open. "It's just…" Slim shoulders shrugged. "It's just instinct to correct people by now."
A soft smile appeared on his slightly tanned face as he watched his tiny boyfriend trying to come up with something. "I think you do it for respect." He got up from the couch and walked over to the white-haired boy behind the desk. "But you know I respect you whatever I call you. If we didn't respect each other then we wouldn't be going out, would we now?"
"I… I suppose…"
He chuckled as he knew Toshiro knew what he was trying to say, but still thought he was so cute when nervous like this, since relationship topics were such an alien thing to the white-haired captain. He slipped one of the dainty, pale hands into his own larger, tanned one and smiled, rubbing his thumb over the delicate knuckles. "Plus, I've always called you 'Toshiro' so nothing's gonna change there."
A hum was his reply before speaking up. "It's time for some changes then…" His voice lowered as he muttered Ichigo's first name at the end of what he said.
Brown eyes blinked before a huge grin appeared on his face from hearing his name being said for the first time by his little boyfriend. Enjoying the light blush across white cheeks. "I can agree with that."
