Orihime poured two cups of warm new tea, humming lightly as she stirred milk in the cups. Ishida sat in Orihime's living room, watching his friend and praying she didn't add any of her favorite flavors in the tea. The healer emerged out of the small kitchen with a brightly colored tray with a teapot, cups, and cookies she made on it. The Quincy smiled as he watched the auburn haired women pull her long hair down, ginger locks flowing down her pale shoulders. She sunk down on the couch right next to him, grabbing a tea cup for herself and for Ishida.
"So what did you wanna talk about, Ishida-kun?" Orihime asked, blowing over her warm tea.
"I just wanted to check on you, it's been a couple months after the war…" Ishida said, fidgeting with his pale fingers.
"Is something wrong? Oh no! Did the blue men hurt you?" The young healer yelped, almost sipping her hot tea. Ishida chuckled abit. Although people thought Inoue was an airhead, her clueless attitude sometimes brought a smile to Ishida's face.
"No, no blue men this time. I've just been worried about you. You seem so much quieter after you returned for Hueco Mundo." Ishida said, creeping his fingers towards Orihime's. He noticed that after the war, Orihime hadn't been her bubbly self lately. Orihime blushed a pink when the Quincy's fingers touched hers.
"Thank you, Ishida-kun. I'm fine…it's a little hard to get used to normal life again." Orihime smiled brightly, her cheeks pinkness faded away. Ishida got caught her big grey eyes and decided to no longer hide his feelings.
"This is my last chance…" The black haired teenager said mentally. His been holding back his feelings towards his dear friend, knowing about her love towards his orange haired Shinigami comrade. Orihime has always been the prettiest girl in school; she was clueless to all the boys hitting on her and even Chizuru's advances towards her.
"Inoue-san, I feel like you should know something and maybe this might make you happy again…For years now, I've been-"
"I know." Orihime said, cutting off Ishida's confession. The Quincy stared at her. What did she mean she knows?
"I-I don't understand." Ishida said. The healer smiled weakly and began to explain herself.
"I've known for a while. Ishida-kun, I'm very flattered by your feelings but…you're my friend. I love you but I'm not in love with you." She said, placing her delicate hands over his. Ishida didn't know how to react, either walk out the door or try to change her feelings. He felt his feet feel the urge to move but Orihime stopped him.
"Don't be upset. Believe me; you'll fall in and out of love many times. Your gonna find her but it's just not me." She said. Ishida pushed by his glasses and tried to hold back his emotions. He knew her love was for Ichigo but he thought he might have had a chance.
"I am happy, Ishida, as much as you think I'm not." Orihime said, giving him a smirk that Ishida fell in love with.
"…how did you know Kurosaki was the one for you?" He said, hesitant of her answer. She took a deep breath and let out a sigh.
"I just knew. When you heart starts to race and you feel everything is right in world when you're around them…you'll know." Ishida smiled, Orihime always seemed to have the right answer to everything. He felt he overstayed his welcome and decided to head home. Before he left, he had one more question for the beautiful teenage girl.
"Since when did you become so wise, Inoue-san?" Ishida said, fixing his glasses to look at her.
"The blue men made me so wise! Duh!"
I don't like this too much but eh, hope you like this!
