First Love
"Hey Shinji. You're always talking about your 'first love' and all. But I've been wondering for a while now. Who was your real first love, hm?" asked Love, as he leaned back and adjusted his sunglasses.
"It's amazing. Your name is 'Love', but you don't know a thing about true love, do you?" said Lisa, glancing up from a page of whatever porno she was reading now. Or maybe it was a romance.
Mashiro whined, "Yeah, Shinji! Who was your REAL first love?" All the Visoreds turned their heads to hear Shinji's answer, except Hiyori and Ichigo who were training. "There's no way it's that stupid Orihime!"
Shinji sat on a rock, elbows on his knees, nonchalant, with his eyes half-closed, pretending like he was watching Hiyori and Ichigo. Thinking in that way he does.
He couldn't even remember when he had met her. Was it during his service in the Gotei 13? At the academy? In Rukongai? Even before that? Ah, it didn't matter.
He had admired silently. Never saying a word, because that was the kind of person he was. No one else knew, of that he was sure.
What was she like again? Somehow he had managed to forget. Oh, well. She was perfect to him and Shinji's eyes had known love much too well.
Shinji finally opened his mouth to answer, but closed it again. It didn't matter anymore. She was gone. All that mattered was who he loved now. "Whoever you think it was, dumbass."

AN: I tried to keep it really open. So you can interpret it a lot of ways I think. It could been Hiyori (but maybe now she's changed or something), it could be some random person we don't know, it could be Lisa if you support that pairing, etc. Um, and whoever you think he likes now is up to you too. Hiyori, Orihime, whoever you choose. Is there another pairing that I don't know about? Oh yeah, and of course Bleach doesn't belong to me.
