It was past midnight and the twisted paths connecting and forming Karakura were deserted, mostly at least. The exception was a young teenaged boy with raven locks and glasses pushed so far up his nose that they actually touched his eyelids. There was a certain aura around him that, despite the unsuccessful facade supported by his signature glare, screamed the instability of his current weakened state.

He was desperate...anxious.

It wasn't long before he reached his desired location and was stopped at the sight of a very familiar being, unwelcomed being. The sound of water splashing lightly against the concrete echoed throughout the street as a set of orange spikes made their way closer to the other.

"Uryuu, I've been looking for you; We need to talk, and I'm in the mood to do it now." The substitutes voice was a combination of anger, monotone, and demanding while the attitude of his statement came out 'matter-a-factly.'

"Kurosaki, I believe we went over this at school. Now, can you step aside and allow me to enter my home?" replied the Quincy, feeling the need to end the unwanted conversation.

"I don't think blurting out words and then running away qualifies for 'talking about it.'"

"Since when did YOU know the difference? Step aside and let me through, I have no time for your shenanigans, I need to study for monday's test." The Quincy started for his door handle before being frozen to place by the other's words.

"Urahara told me...I know everything now. Though it would have been better to hear the news from you, Uryuu." A long stream of silence flowed between the two, leaving Ishida with the sudden urge to avoid the topic, but Ichigo wasn't giving up that easily.

"Breaking up with me after a two year relationship and finding out your reason for it from hat and clogs, instead of you, really ticks me off, Uryuu," Ichigo leaned in more to Uryuu's ears, now positioned behind him, and continued," What ticks me off even more is that you pretend nothing is wrong-"

"I don't know what you are talking abou-"

"You're pregnant, Uryuu!" It seems the berry head lost all control as he went into a sudden heated outburst. "You're knocked up and you don't even have the balls to tell me to my face! No, you go and confied in Urahara in hopes of me not finding out! I nearly tore his shop apart from his half- assed explanation and you DON'T EVEN CARE!"

"Should I?" came the quick retort, the raven haired teen slowly turning the thick metal in his hand as he finished,"We are broken up now, why should this mean anyth-"

BAMMMMM!

Ichigo's hand landed itself harshly on the plain white wall resting right beside uryuu's door. "Why? How about because you dumped me despite our feelings for each other, you left me locked on the roof afterwards, and that you are running away from the situation before you even hear what I have to say!"

Uryuu swiftly turned around, annoyed at how his business is being put on display, and gave the one he loved a menacing look before yelling back,"FINE! You want me to hear you out? THEN LETS SEE WHAT YOU HAVE TO SA-" Ishida was interrupted as the strawberry's mouth smashed against his, wasting no time to use the other's shock to slide his tounge in. For what ever reason, Uryuu didn't realize how much it hurt when he severed all ties with the hot headed youth. He immediately, however, returned the kiss and melted into the embrace of the mighty savior of soul society, of Karakura. Tounges angrily met as they participated in a harmonizing waltz before their owners pulled apart and slid to the floor.

"I love you, Uryuu, and I will never leave you."

The Quincy closed his eyes as he drifted into a daze of unconsciousness before replying in a soft voice,"I know Ichigo...I know."
