These are for Kitty Kat K.O.'s birthday. :3 Happy 16th! Love you. (:
Walking
Walking with him is one strange pleasure that she will always love.
Waltz
Even if Ichigo cannot dance well at all, she still enjoys dancing with Ryou more than she thinks she ought to.
Wishes
Aside from the wish for the success of the Mew Project, Ryou's greatest wish is to see Ichigo always happy.
Wonder
Despite how utterly infuriating he is, Ichigo finds herself wondering exactly what she feels for him.
Worry
"She's so clumsy that I can't help but worry about her," Ryou sighs in exasperation.
Whimsy
It confuses her one day when she wants to suddenly kiss Ryou on a whim.
Waste
"Being with you is just a waste of my time," Ichigo lies.
Whiskey and Rum
She didn't have a lot of firsts with him; however, she did have her first taste of alcohol with him.
War
It's like a war is being waged on her heart: she simply cannot choose between the people she loves.
Weddings
She's always been a dreaming romantic, so it's only natural that she imagines what their wedding will be like one day.
Birthday
The one present Ryou thinks he wants the most is being with Ichigo.
Blessing
Just hearing his name and looking at Ryou is a blessing that Ichigo sometimes foolishly takes for granted.
Bias
Although he might find all of the Mews powerful and cute (at the very least), Ryou has a bias toward Ichigo.
Burning
It's almost like her heart is burning whenever she's near him.
Breathing
As she sleeps next to him, Ryou feels Ichigo's warm breath on his face, lulling him back to sleep.
Breaking
Trying to choose between him, Masaya, and Kish sometimes makes her want to break...
Belief
...But maybe if she keeps believing, she'll choose the one who is best for her.
Balloon
"I never knew you liked balloons so much, Strawberry," Ryou remarks as he notices Ichigo marveling at all the balloons ornamenting the Cafe.
Balcony
That standing on the balcony of the Cafe with Ryou on a summer evening would be this enjoyable is something Ichigo never anticipated.
Bane
Knowing every moment of his life that he might hurt her through the Mew Project is the bane of his existence.
Quiet
"It's not like you to be this quiet," Ryou remarks with masked concern, noticing Ichigo's lack of energy and loquacity.
Quirks
She may have some odd quirks - turning into a cat is among the most trivial, really - but he loves her all the same.
Question
"Shirogane... Do you love me?"
Quarrel
"You two fight like a married couple," Keiichiro points out one day during one of Ryou and Ichigo's spats.
Quitting
Quitting loving him is something that Ichigo doesn't think is feasible.
Jump
Her heart jumps as he leans in to kiss her.
Jester
"It's not funny," Ichigo, covered with cake, mutters angrily as Ryou laughs at her.
Jousting
He'll fight to the death to protect her if he has to do so.
Jewel
She's like a beautiful, precious jewel that he want to protect.
Just
"You're just sooo annoying, Shirogane!"
Smirk
That his smirk might one day become something that she would love so much never occurs to Ichigo.
Sorrow
It's the anniversary of his parents' death, and Ichigo wants nothing more than to be able to turn his sorrow into joy.
Stupidity
"You're so stupid, Strawberry," Ryou quips, pretending to be angry, while being really quite amused.
Serenade
She never imagined that his singing voice would be so amazing - until now.
Sarcasm
"Sure, you're amazing, and I'm an idiot - hey, I was being sarcastic, Strawberry!"
Sordid
Sometimes he wonders if infusing these girls - especially her - with animal DNA is really more sordid than he originally thought.
Soliloquy
"Would you quit complaining - you sound like you're reciting a freaking soliloquy!"
Sojourn
He's one certainty she has while sojourning through the difficulties of being one of Earth's heroes.
Share
At the risk of acting possessive, Ryou really doesn't want to share Ichigo with anyone.
Solitary
While alone in his room, he thinks of her.
Nowhere
If they keep fighting like this, she thinks, they're going to get nowhere.
Neutral
In Ichigo and Ryou's fights, as violent as ever, the other Mews know that they should probably remain neutral.
Nuance
Their diversities are not mere nuances - but that's okay; they merely ignore this and accept each other.
Near
Whether he's near or far away, Ichigo always feels Ryou with her.
Natural
Being with her just feels so right, so natural.
Horizon
Dawn breaks on the horizon, and Ichigo smiles, knowing that it marks the beginning of another day of her life with him.
Valiant
He's no coward, but when he sees Ichigo sprawled on the ground, looking injured and in pain, he feels fear turning his blood into ice.
Virtuous
If love is a virtue, then Ichigo must be amazingly virtuous.
Victory
She tastes the feeling of victory over the Chimera Anima...
Defeat
...Only to look at Ryou's dead body and realize that, really, she has been utterly defeated.
