I: The Neverending Date Night Part 1

Kuchiki Rukia walked into her and her boyfriend's apartment, taking off her coat. The only reason she wore it on the way to and from work was to keep creepers from staring at her revealing and embarrassing uniform. She hurried to change before her boyfriend, Kurosaki Ichigo, got home so he wouldn't discover her demeaning line of work. "I-Ichigo!" she stuttered, surprised to see him home so early as she was popping the button to the collar of her coat open. He put his finger with hers. "Ha ha, I beat you home!" he teased. She yanked her collar closed. "Ichigo!" "Is that all you have to say to me? Not even a little bit happy I took off early just for you?" he said, picking her up. He slid his hand up her leg, confused to not finding any cloth and searching farther up to her thigh, and leaning in her face. She became flustered. "Eek!" ""Just kidding." He put her down. "Go get changed. Put something nice on. I'm taking you out." "…What's the special occasion?" "Well I was going ta surprise you when we got there but…I got a raise!" "Oh my gosh, that's great, honey!" "So hurry up and put something on!" "Sheesh, I will! But you must tell me where we are going so I know what to wear." "It's a secret so I'll pick it out for you, bitch."

They went in their room. "Go change." She went in her bathroom and took her clothes off, putting on her robe and stuffing her uniform under the sink. She came out to find Ichigo in a nice dress shirt and pants. Draped over his arm was a beautiful midnight blue shoulder-less dress. "Oh Ichigo!" "You like it? Good, I think it'll look pretty on you." She blushed, then questioning his wording. "May I try it on?" she said not waiting for an answer and snatching it into her bathroom. She slipped it on. What bra would she wear with it? She felt it squeeze her ribs. It fit like a glove. She struggled to close the zipper. She tried everything to zip the thing, finally giving up. She washed up and applied the little amount of makeup she owned. She smacked her lips and put on the diamond earrings Byakuya had given her. She couldn't hook the diamond necklace (also courtesy of Byakuya) either. She put up her hair, sighing. She stepped out. Ichigo had fixed his hair and was counting his money. "Um, Ichigo, I need some help." She said, gesturing to her zipper. He tried to yank it up unsuccessfully. It took at least five minutes of yelling and yanking to get it closed. He cursed, closing the clasp on her necklace. "Ichigo, how skinny do you think I am?" "Shit, Rukia, I'm sorry for the millionth time!" He called a cab into the city while Rukia fussed over her purse. He pulled a white coat over her shoulders and a black one over his own. "Ichigo, you bought these too?" "The best for the best." They both blushed.
