Say It

BLEACH

By: Chi~

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, however, I do own my ideas. (If only they would get me some profit…:eyes narrow: )

A/N: Ahh, this mini-rabid plot bunny bit me while I was in Drama one morning when I was really hyper from some Powerade I'd recently had. Yeah, that was some good Powerade…

Anyways, getting back on topic, this fic is a yet another poemfic of mine. Yes, the type of fiction that people don't particularly like, but I'm putting it up anyways because I just once again let the words flow and set it with not-so-high hopes. I mean, there's a reason why I wrote that dedication fic to the first reviewer of that other poem of mine, "Heart Season." I didn't have much confidence in it, even though I loved it after I wrote it, and it was completely up-lifting to have someone review with such nice words.

I began to write this on paper while writing out the draft for "The Horrors of War" since the random impulse to write it was just too overpowering. So, that's why this is here earlier than what was suppose to be my first HitsuRuki fic. So…I hope this poem was worth it…

Might be some OOCness (however you want to look at it ;D), a little vague (maybe?), and is actually on a lighter theme. (But, unfortunately, since this is the first instead of the other, that won't last long.)

And so on; enjoy my attempt at HitsuRuki poetry. ;D

Read in ½ yo! X3

Say It

Light
Bright but gentle
Caressing her beautiful grace
As they stared
Watching for each other's next move

He sat
Patient
But his heart
Beating rapidly
Breathing shallowly
As he tried to predict
What she would do next

He had a feeling
Deep in his heart
It would be something
Definitely something
That would make him break
Frozen walls put up by him for a reason

And leave only her to pick up the pieces

She stood
Nervous
Palms sweating
Stance shifting
Stomach full of butterflies
As she bit her bottom lip
Words on her tongue
But unable to be uttered

What she would say
What would happen after she said it
Everything would change
And they didn't have the slightest idea
If they would be able to be accept
Change

But, of course, they knew they couldn't run
They knew they couldn't hide
From the emotions between them
Because it was almost
Almost
Painful
Unbearable

Fear, as well
Because they liked to keep themselves under-wraps
Away from anything that could possibly hurt them
And metaphorically kill them in one blow

Especially him
A strong boy
A prodigy
A warrior
A prince
Of Ice

He was as sensitive
As ice was to heat
Though he didn't melt easily
He could still feel the warmth
And if it was threatening enough
He would threaten back
And ultimately win in the end

Perhaps that was why she was so nervous
Perhaps that was why she was actually scared

But he didn't seem dismissive
He didn't turn away
He didn't threaten the warmth she was about to give

He didn't fight to win

She was sure he knew why she was there
Why she was standing there
Staring
After informing him she really needed to discuss something…
Serious

She was sure he also knew it wasn't Soul Society serious
It was relationship serious

So,
Why wasn't he avoiding it?
Why was he just staring at her;
Watching her intently
And eerily quiet
As the pale sun of winter shined behind him
From the window
Making him so beautiful she couldn't stop staring

And she couldn't move
Couldn't say anything
Couldn't do anything
Except stare back

Seconds turned into minutes
Valuable time wasted away
And the silence was getting
Unbearable

But all of a sudden
In a flash
Something unexpected happened

A gasp.

A sigh.

A nervous heartbeat.

And he spoke
Suddenly close to her face
Eyes of ice almost
Desperate

"Just," he began
Paused
Stared at her shock – struck face
And sighed in what almost seemed like
Defeat

"Say it."

That was her push
Her permission
To say
What he couldn't

Somehow
She knew she would be the first one to say it
The first one to confess
And that made the fear greater

But,
He was pushing her

So, maybe…

She opened her mouth
Closed it
Looked away
Trying to regain
Her poor voice again

And he stared
Softly
Deeply
Waiting

Her eyes met his again
And they both melted
Finally

"I…"
She trailed
His heart strained
Her stomach flipped
Their faces colored

"I…love you…"

And he,
The prince of Ice
A warrior
A prodigy
Stoic and cold…

Broke

And the rest
Of his frozen heart
Melted
From the warmth she finally offered

As he thought
She was the one and only
To pick up the pieces

The lips touched
Softly
Like flower pedals
And they breathed each other in
Flesh touching
Finally allowed to explore
Each other

And he held on
Because she was his life now
And his was hers

"Now, you…"
Her soft voice trailed again
Leaning away from him
Eyes dancing in their excitement
And love for him
For his walls were broken
And finally let her in

And they knew
He could finally say
What he needed

"Say it!"

…Hmm. This is…well…hmm…I don't know what to say or how to describe it. Though, I do have to say, I guess I like it. (Long poem!! :le gasp:)

This is my first attempt now, so please don't be too harsh. Still, tell me how you feel. Please, I really want to know. I've never been good at poems (I really sucked at them actually) and once again, my pride is on the line here, and it isn't even good to start with. (See?! I'm friggin' begging here!)

But, anyways, on another note; my first fic for HitsuRuki is done. I think it was worth it. :nods: That was completely awesome to write, even though I don't think I did so well…

So, yeah, later…I guess. OH! ALSO!

Join the HitsuRuki Army~! (I don't have a position yet, but I still joined. MUHAHAHAH!)

Chi-chan, out~!
