I got this random inspiration from Bleach episode 134, the one where Yumichika bakes a cake for a ghost he has to save. I'm still new to the whole Bleach fandom, I really enjoy the show, but do forgive me if I got anything wrong. Anyways this is just a little one-shot I wanted to write up.
After the day's events of dealing with a ghost who wanted to give his mother some cake, Yumichika headed back to Urahara's shop with Hanataro and Rin in tow. After arriving at the shop the two young Soul Reapers were quite tired and decided to head to bed. Yumichika, however, headed into the kitchen to clean up the mess he made so Renji didn't have to get in trouble on their behalf.
'Knowing the people in this shop not only Renji would get in trouble, but the other two as well,' he thought.
As Yumichika began to clean the dishes and put the groceries away he noticed they still had quite a lot of ingredients left to make another cake. With an idea in his head he decided he would make another one, for someone that he found special, after all he did perfect the technique in cake baking.
A few hours later found Yumichika packing up his prize and putting on his shoes, dressed in a black shirt and royal purple jacket with jeans, ready to head out.
"I see you finished cleaning up and doing some of the chores, the place looks better than it has in a while."
Yumichika turned around to find none other than Kisuke Urahara staring back at him with a wide grin.
"Yes, sorry I'm leaving so late. I didn't intend to stay so long, but I must head back. I'm sure Ikkaku is wondering where I've been."
Urahara only smiled and walked Yumichika to the door, "Well don't let me keep you held up. I assume, though, that's who you baked the cake for?"
Yumichika only smiled as a response and walked out the door. The walk back to the house he and Ikkaku were currently residing in wasn't very long. Besides a nice walk is exactly what he needed to collect his thoughts. Once he reached the door he turned the knob, it was already unlocked, and walked into the living room area.
"Hey, where you been all day?"
The sight that greeted Yumichika made him smile; Ikkaku was lying across the couch in a white shirt and sweat pants. He looked absolutely peaceful.
"I apologize for being so late, I was at the Urahara shop helping out a bound soul," he replied as he sat down on the floor in front of the couch. "Where is those two siblings?"
"Sounds like a drag, and they went out to get some food." Ikkaku replied before he noticed the bag Yumichika had placed on the coffee table. "Hey what's that?"
"Ah…well before I left the shop I wanted to make something for you, it's called cake here in the world of the living." Yumichika then proceeded to pull out the cake along with a fork he accidently took from Urahara's. Ikkaku moved to the floor next to Yumichika and graciously took the piece offered to him.
"What does it taste like?" He questioned.
"You'll just have to find out now won't you? It is quite amazing."
Ikkaku hesitated for a moment before deciding to take a bite. Yumichika watched as Ikkaku put the slice in his mouth and a large smile bloomed on his face.
"You're right, this cake is amazing," Ikkaku smiled, then put an arm around Yumichika's waste and pulled him closer to him in a half hug attempt. "Just like you are, Yumichika.'
At this comment Yumichika had a bright red blush and rested his head on Ikkaku's shoulder. They stayed like that as Ikkaku eventually finished off his slice of cake and fell asleep with his head on top of Yumichika's who dozed off soon after with a smile on his face.
Unfortunately their peace might not last once the two siblings come home…
There's my odd story! This pairing is adorable in any way, I really do love and admire their friendship!
