iPod Challenge Bleach

by iWannaBeAnarchy

I just wanted to try this. Each chapter is a different story loosely based on a song. Rated T for language and some mild, non-explicit violence. GrimmUlqui and IchiHitsu. I AM RE-DOING EACH ONE! They are going to be more detailed and story-like.

1. Never Too Late

Pairing: Ichigo/Toshiro
Rating: K+
Summary: Ichigo reflects on Toshiro's nightmares.
Author Notes: It is my personal belief that Toshiro died in a fire. He was alive for 32 minutes of the burning, and remembers all of the pain, and this is what the majority of his nightmares are about.
Disclaimer: All characters belong to Tite Kubo, or their respective owners.

Song 1. Never Too Late – Three Days Grace

I sit there, in my bed, he's sitting next to me. I put my arm around him and rock back and forth as I try to calm him down. It's always like this. Almost every night, he screams in his sleep, has nightmares that I try to avoid thinking about. I wake him up and he cries. I try to help him, stop him from crying, or at least get him to talk about his nightmares, anything that will help me understand. It hurts me to see him so afraid, in so much pain, knowing there's nothing I can do to help. He stops crying, and lays down, his head in my lap. After a while, he finally falls asleep. The strangest part about it is, he never mentions it in the morning, acts like it never happened. Maybe he doesn't remember it ever happened. Maybe it didn't happen. Maybe it's just my nightmare.
