So this fic is going to be a little disapointing to the people who are fans of Orihime and Ichigo fans, but I thought it was a neat idea. Im sorry in advance. This will be very short.

Words Left Unsaid
"Oh Ichigo, its beautiful!" Orihime gleamed, as she stared with wide eyes at the 4 karrot diamond studded engagment ring now glistening in the little light the lamp on Ichigo's night stand had given.
"Yeah, it took me months to save up for it" Ichigo scratched his head, faintly remembering the long hours, double shifts and on calls he had to do to earn such a gift, but it was going to be worth it.
"Ive been meaning to give this to someone very special to me for quite a while and..." Orihime leaned in forward, hoping and praying her name would be some where in his sentance.
"I think its a wonderful thing. Love for one person to another is a gift, that no ring could ever hope to show... no matter how expensive" Orihime gave a heave as she handed Ichigo back the little white box.
"Yeah, but its worth it, Orihime." Ichigo flashed one of those smiles that could make the world's waring just stop and hug one another, it truley was a fagile thing, if you were ever lucky enough to see it.
There it was, the one thing she'd been hoping would come from his mouth.
"I want you.. to.." Ichigo seemed to lean forward now, taking the ring out of the box, and disgarding the box onto his night stand by his bed.
"Yes, Ichigo?" Orihime, as if possible at all, leaned in more closer, until his breath was now on her face.
"Try it on?" She was taken a little aback but took it from his hand none the less.
"I hope it fits" Orihime commented, but that thought was quickly replaced with happiness when she realized it fitted perfectly, gliding it into her third finger.
There was a long silence, as if if someone were to speak, it would shatter the moment. And that was the last thing Orihime wanted.
"Ichigo.. I...lo- " Orihime never took her eyes off Ichigo, as he grabbed the box from the night stand one last time.
"What is it Orihime?" Her face faultered a little when she realized Ichigo was putting a name on the inside of the box, 'Rukia'.
"I ... think she'll love it" Orihime passed back the ring, and without a second thought, turned to open the door to his room.
"Thanks Orihime, I needed someone with the same finger size as Rukia to make sure it fitted properly". With one last glance, and that smile so stunning, yet fake, Orihime left his room, with words left unsaid.

I hope you liked it, I thought it was a cool idea, I suddenly got. It wasnt totally mean, and I am a fan of InoueXIchigo fics, but I felt like Ichigo was starting to get over run with all these other pairings and other characters that I figured it would be nice to make one of just him and Rukia, though she isnt in the fic.
Please read and review.
