It's been ten hours since my friends and I saved Rukia from being executed back in the Soul Society. It wasn't easy. Not by a long fucking shot. But I just couldn't let her die. Not without telling her how I feel about her. That's right. I'm in love with her. I have been since I first met her that night she gave me her Soul Reaper powers. At first I thought that she was stuck up and just plain mean. But after getting to know Rukia, to really know her, I started to fall for her. Hard. After we saved her, me, Chad, Orihime, Uryu, Kon, and Rukia herself went back to Kukaku Shiba's house.

We hung out there for about four hours before we went back to the wrold of the living. But before we left the Soul Society for the world of the living, I asked Rukia to come over to my house once we got back to the world of the living, she said yes. She said that she wants to get a few hours of sleep before we talk. I asked her where she would be sleeping.

She said that she liked to sleep in my small bedroom closet like she did before she was brought back to the Soul Society. I said ok, that's fine with me. She said ok. That was a few hours ago. We're back in the world of the living now. When we got back to the world of the living, Rukia and I went back to my house, She promptly went to bed. As did I. In our respective beds.

I dropped Kon off at Hat & Clogs shop. Chad, Orihime, and Uryu went back to their respective houses. I have absolutely no fucking idea how I'm supposed to tell Rukia how I feel about her. I guess that I just have to play it by ear. What if she doesn't feel the same way? I don't want to ruin our friendship. But I have to tell her. No matter what. But we both need a few days rest. Especially after all that we had been through in the past few days. Hell especially Rukia, especially her. I'm going to let her sleep before we talk. I turn over in my bed facing away from my closet where Rukia is sleeping. Now laying on my right side facing the opposite wall, it doesn't take me too long to fall asleep mostly because of both my mental and physical exhaustion. Maybe five or ten minutes or so.

AN Edit: It will be 7 chapters long. It was going to be a much shorter FanFic, but I decided to make it longer by making 7 chapters instead of 4 chapters. There will be a little bit of plot in the last two chapters, but it will be mostly be smut & fluff.
