Pairing #1 - Hanatarou/Yachiru

Be-late-ed Valentine's one-shot
Warnings: Kissing

Hanatarou sat quietly watching Yachiru chasing after Ikkaku, until Kenpachi called her over. He watched as she quickly landed a kiss on his forehead and gleefully moved away with the given sweets. Sighing, blue eyes watched as a hell butterfly fluttered over to Unohana.

His heart pounded in his chest as he watched her, knowing full well that when she's older she'll either want someone as strong as Kenpachi or still be chasing Byakuya. Blue eyes lowered as Hanatarou watched Yachiru's interaction with Kenpachi, her chatting away while he grinned slightly and grunted every few minutes.

Quickly standing, he grabbed the pail and mop and walked away intent on clouding his mind with duties for his squad. Realizing he was out of range of both captains and his crush, he heaved a heavy sigh and went to set the pail down.

"There you are! I was looking for you Hana!" The yell caused Hanatarou to drop the pail and slip on the dumped contents. When he finally opened his eyes he stared into wide bright red ones. A blush formed across his cheeks as he realized he was face to face with his crush and he just embarrassed himself in front of her.

Body shaking and the hot feeling of tears welling up in his eyes, Hanatarou quickly picked up the pail and mop and started walking away as fast as his shaking legs would allow.

"Wait! Hana! Come back! Please!" Yachiru cried as she watched him walk away. Putting on a determined expression she ran up to him and lunged, causing them both to fall on the ground.

Sitting on his soaked back she felt him shake. Standing she walked in front of him and looked down at his hidden face. Yachiru took out a small box and bending down nudged Hanatarou's head.

Sniffling Hanatarou looked up, tears falling out of his wide blue eyes. Yachiru smiled and held out the box in front of Hanatarou's face, "Hana, would you like to be my Valentine's?"

Hanatarou gapped, unbelieving but nodded his head. Smiling wider she opened the box, took out a chocolate and out it to his mouth. Obliging her wish Hanatarou opened his mouth to receive the chocolate. Crawling up so he sat on his knees, Hanatarou finished the chocolate and landed a kiss to Yachiru's lips.

Blinking a few times Yachiru then smiled, throwing the box in the air she glomped Hanatarou and kissed him, leaving him breathless and smiling.
