A/N I really hope this makes as much sense to everyone else as it did in my head. Inspired by thier duet 'Glow.'

Ichigo fought the urge to clamp his hands over his ears against the roaring winds.
"RUKIA!" he screamed, though unsure why, there was no possible way she could hear him. Why was he looking for her again?
She was lost somewhere in this frozed wasteland. Right.
How was he supposed to do that again?
"RUKIA!"
All he could hear was the wind in his ears, currently blowing so hard he couldn't even keep his eyes open to look for her. All he had was his voice; so he continued to yell.
"RUKIA!"

Violet eyes opened slowly. Her right hand felt warm, warmer than the rest of her. 'Why am I in bed? Ichigo's bed, no less...' Her head felt so heavy, but somehow she turned it to the right.
Ichigo.
Both his hands were wrapped around hers, he seemed to be kneeling besider, only on the floor; she could see his familiar mop of orange hair laying on it's side- he was asleep. But the second he felt a shift in her movement, that head jolted up, hazel eyes wide and alert. They softened when they saw hers had finally opened.
"Hey, Midget," he said softly.
"Why do I... ugh, I don't feel well..." Rukia managed to reply.
"You've only had a fever all week," he smiled in reply.
"I have? I don't..."
"Don't try too hard, ok? You need rest right now."
She wanted to beat on him, tell him he was moron-she was fine, thank you- but all she could manage was a small nod before she closed her eyes again.
Ichigo sighed softly with relief, carefully bringing her hand to his lips for probably the hundredth time.
