A/N: My first Bleach rambling...I can't believe it took me this long to write one, given my obsession O.o; Apologies in advance for badfic; I am very, very rusty D:
Once upon a time, in the land of fair non-fake Karakura town, Ichigo and Rukia were happily spending their free time disregarding Hollow dispatch calls; such trifling matters were, as such, being tended to by a certain minor character, whose identity shall not be disclosed, his name unimportant and hence disposed from memory. Lest we forget, most Hollows of the everyday sort are relatively easy to defeat, formidable only in the series' infancy, as logical progression of plot demands lesser foes be handled before boss-level foes. These were also the happier days when it was clear to all that Ichigo and Rukia were, unarguably, the main characters and focus of Bleach.
"Ichigo," piped Rukia, "let us rejoice in our return to the center of attention by skipping gaily down this lovely forest path."
Ichigo did not want to do skipping of any sort, and made his thoughts known. To his surprise, Rukia promptly acquiesced. "You may, alternatively, purchase for my pleasure a strawberry-flavored lollipop. The awfully big ones that retain their fruity goodness for days on end? Such a wonderfully lick-able treat!"
At this moment, Ichigo's hormone-ridden teenage brain kicked into overdrive and betrayed his hard-earned reputation; his countenance colored deep crimson as an unbidden mental image unveiled itself. It did not help matters that our unfortunate (or fortunate) hero had only yesterday stumbled upon fan-fictions of a certain suggestive caliber. Fan-fictions that he had read in their entirety.
His curious reaction failed to escape the notice of his keen companion. "Ehh?" she questioned, gazing concernedly at his sudden flush, "Are you feeling all right, Ichigo? Your face has adapted an impressive shade of red. Might you be developing sickness?" Rukia, bless her soul, was usually spot-on regarding Ichigo's state of mind and being…yet fell remarkably short of the truth at present.
Ichigo needed to change the topic of discussion. "So I heard you like Mudkips?" he blurted loudly.
"…What?" Rukia met his outburst with a blank stare.
"I mean…"
"Ichigo, what did you say to me? What's going on with you? Something's the matter; you cannot hide anything from me," accused the raven-haired girl.
The object of Rukia's pointed query began to panic, bright strawberry face blending with his obnoxiously hued hair. Bollocks! How dare you allow such unwholesome thoughts to come to mind, Kurosaki Ichigo! You should be ashamed of yourself! Good-Ichi silently reprimanded the other half of his conscience. He gazed beseechingly at the petite shinigami before him, standing sternly with hand on hip, hoping she could read his apologetic look and consequently cease any further inquisition.
Rukia, however, would not be so kind as to spare him an easy way out.
"Speak, Ichigo. I no longer wish to skip gaily through the forest. I wish to understand your problem. Tell me," she demanded.
Ichigo was in, shall we say, quite a pickle. Fortunately, our shounen hero had always been a man of action. It did not take long for a suitable distraction to come to mind.
So he leaned forward and kissed her.
Rukia gave a little muffled yelp of surprise at the sudden contact, instinct telling her that a punch to the face would serve as an appropriate response. Ichigo was ill, however, so she ended up deciding that she would forgive him this time...
...or maybe many times in the future, as well.
And so the pair became happy once again, ignoring the beeping phone alerting them to yet another Hollow nuisance; this was, assuredly, a much better way to pass the time. Furthermore, desires for skipping and forests and could not be farther from Rukia's mind.
Ichigo, on the other hand, continued to entertain thoughts of Rukia and strawberry lollipops.
