Simple Friend, Real Friend

Chapter 1

A/N: Aww, I stole this off a chain letter and transformed it into a fanfiction.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.

" Uryuu, you don't have any more soy sauce." Ichigo whined as he peaked into the fridge, and bowl of steamed rice in his hand.

" Nobody told you to raid my fridge." Uryuu growled, " I'm poor."

A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

" Okay, if you're gonna cry over your messed up knitting, I'm gonna leave." Ichigo grimaced at the crying Ishida clenched to his shoulder.

" Shut up, just let me cry, okay? I worked on that pillow cover for ages."

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

" I better be getting paid for this." Ichigo smiled, setting a tangle of ribbon on Uryuu's head.

" You will if you do a good job, maybe." Uryuu grumbled, scooping confetti of the ground.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

" I told you to call at eight! It's eight thirty!" Uryuu yelled into the reciever.

" Well, I'm sorry, I seem to remember you don't call on time either, ass." Ichigo spat.

A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it.

" You had a crush on Chaaaaaad, you had a crush on Chaaaaaad." Ichigo mocked.

" You had a crush on Orihiiiiiime, you had a crush on Orihiiiiiime." Uryuu teased back.

" That was like, two years ago. Your crush on Chad was like, 3 hours ago."

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

" Okay, I'm sorry I called you a gay nerd." Ichigo sighed.

" Annnnnd...?" Ishida grumbled.

" The biggest dork in Japan." He continued.

" Annnnnd...?"

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you.

" Uryuu, do you consider me a friend?" Ichigo asked, his chopsticks hanging from his mouth.

" I guess." Uryuu shrugged.

" From you, I'm sure that's a yes." Ichigo nodded.

" And how do you know that?" Uryuu glared.

" Cause if I had asked, and I wasn't, you would have flat out said no."

" I guess that's true." Ishida nodded.

" Guess that means you're not a loner anymore." Ichigo grinned, but stopped grinning when a chopstick was jabbed into his shoulder.

The End.
