A/N: Phew. It's been a while! Brief explanation of WHY in my profile. Go check if you wanted to.
Actually I was inspired by the overused of the infamous word, 'midget' in IchiRuki fandom! Anyway, this MAY become a one-shots collection that based on Rukia's height. We'll see. :D

~Because she needs a hand.
...
After about half an hour of searching for a very excited raven haired girl who tended to be missing every time they went to shop for groceries, he finally let out a sigh of relief when he saw a familiar 4 feet and 8 inches figure standing in front of a shelf full of boxes. There she was, with a face full of concentration and determination, trying so hard to reach for a spaghetti box on the top shelf. He watched as she stood on tiptoe with tiny little fingers strained in the air. The corner of his lips curved upwards at the view.
This was why she was never meant to be alone. This was why he should always be there by her side. She might deny it, she might refuse it, but she needed a hand. A hand for her to hold whenever she was in need. A hand for her to reach things that she couldn't reach. Things that she never imagine that she could reach...
And he could give her that hand.
He shook his head and started to walk down the food aisle towards her. He stopped right behind the girl and took the spaghetti box for her with ease. She turned around and opened her mouth to thank the kind helper, but seeing a familiar orange haired guy with an amused look on his face just pissed her off. So she left him with a pained shin and continued her grocery hunting.
