A/N: I haven't written for this couple in years! (Exaggeration of course) but I miss them! So I was thinking about Hime and Ichi and this little thing came to my mind and I just went with it. Tell me what you ne? Love you lots guys!
I remember…
I remember what life was like before all of this.
Before you got your powers.
Before we became friends.
I remember the feelings I had for you back then.
I remember thinking you had the most interesting looking face, always set in that permanent scowl.
I remember the way you'd scream obscenities at any one who'd murmur a word about your hair, or your scowl or the way you acted.
I remember wondering why you always seemed so angry and thinking about it as I ate sweet potatoes with butter at lunch time.
I remember asking Tatsuki about you time and time again and making her go crazy until she demanded I shut up.
I remember falling in love.

I remember when you lost your powers.
I remember when you awoke and pretended like everything was alright when you were lost.
I remember how you disappeared from my life, almost as if you'd been a ghost the entire time.
I remember.
I remember seeing your scowl every time Ishida would leave the room to deal with hollows.
I remember the way things seemed to change and you became further and further away.
I remember that pain.
Do you remember?
I remember you getting your powers back.
I remember you smiling again, scowling again, screaming and fighting again.
I remember you protecting, defending and tackling the world like a lone warrior when you had an entire army at your side.
I remember being in love.
Do you remember?
I remember when you hugged me that night in spring, in the middle of the park as we tried to reach the ice cream shop before it closed.
I remember the light blush that decorated your cheek when you pulled away and scratched your neck.
I remember you looking up at the sky and thanking me for being me.
