Whispers of Love

~HitsuRuki Oneshot/Drabble Collection~


A/N: Hi all, it's been a really, really long ti-/pelted by rotten tomatoes/

I'M SORRY D8 /gets hit with shoes/

Well, now that I have endured all of your (righteous) anger, I bring you a really late addition to my (barely there) collection of HitsuRuki oneshots/drabbles. I know that the first one was quite depressing xD Don't worry, this one's an innocent, cute one about Hitsugaya and Rukia when they were little kids. Think elementary school. :3

Um, there's a note about Hating You at the bottom. .3. Please check that down and help meeee~


Whisper Two: First Friend

He was the only one who didn't wear a great, big puffy jacket during the winter. He was the only one who didn't get frost bite when they played outside during recess. He was the only one who never needed mittens. He was the only one that was never chosen to play with.

Toshiro looked down at his feet as the other kids purposely gave him a wide berth in their over-sized sweaters and hats. They thought—they thought he was weird. Freaky-odd. The fact that he was is a t-shirt and shorts surrounded by a foot of snow didn't help, he supposed. Suddenly another pair of boots were in front of him and the white-haired boy gave a start, looking up to meet pure violet pupils.

"W-what do you want?" he spat defensively. It was the Kuchiki princess, the most popular girl in his grade. With her milky skin, ebony hair and big, sparkling purple eyes, it was no wonder why she was. She had on a pink, fluffy coat, matched with Chappy earmuffs—and her pale skin was flushed with the cold. Toshiro looked away and jammed his fists into the pockets of his shorts. Was she here to make fun of him too? Call him names?

"Aren't you cold?" Came the silvery voice. Toshiro grimaced.

"No," he shot back, glaring at the girl with his vibrant teal eyes. "What, you think it's freaky too, huh?" A streak of anger went through him, but her face remained as solemn as it had been before. "Well you know what—" He didn't get to finish his bitter accusation as the girl cut him off, her expression as innocent as ever.

"I think it's cool." She said simply. Toshiro froze, taken completely aback by her easy reply. What..? The raven-haired girl reached up and rubbed at her reddish cheeks with a white mitten. "I get cold easily, see?"

Toshiro blinked, mouth slightly ajar. He had never…no one had ever… He realized that he must look stupid with his mouth hanging open and shut it, but he was still in disbelief. "You think…it's cool?" He echoed, stunned.

It was then that she smiled, and the boy could hardly believe how it brightened up everything around them. Color sprung into his black-and-white world. "I think you're cool," she said firmly, her cold-reddened lips curving upwards beautifully.

He stared. "…Me?"

She laughed, a sound like silver bells in the winter morning air. "Yes, you, silly!" Before he could react, she had her small mittened hand around his bare one. "Come on, let's make a snowman. You do know how to make one, right?"

"O-Of course I do!" he stuttered indignantly as the girl tugged him along. "Even babies know how to do that!" He glanced down to her small hand, so tightly around his fingers. "But…are you sure you want…me to help you?" It was so weird. Nobody played with him.

The girl came to a sudden halt and her boots made a squeaking noise as she turned to face him, a pout on her face. "You don't have to if you don't want to, y'know." Toshiro found himself surprised for the third time.

"It's not that I don't want to, it's well…" he trailed off, not sure what to say anymore when she was looking at him with those huge violet eyes.

"Well then, it's settled! We're going to make a snowman together," she said with nod, a smile on her lips again. This time he couldn't help but give her a little grin in return; her smile was quite infectious. He let her drag him away, his fingers closing just as tightly around the slender hand.

"Yeah…together."


A/N: Sooooo yes, I know that was short. xD But it's meant to be. It's not tragically depressing, which I'm glad about because I am so tragically depressed right now you guys have nooooo idea. ;w; I'm actually pleasantly surprised that this didn't turn out to be a tear jerker like the first one. =w=;;

SO! I guess I am more or less back for the time being. /booed/ How can you guys cheer Berry up and make her stay? Review! /shot/ …No seriously, I miss being appreciated even just a little by people. ;w;


BTW! I AM working on chapter 7 of (the repeatedly dead-ressurected-dead-ressurected) fic Hating You! I'm honestly surprised that my very first fanfic is my most popular one. ._. Reading the first couple chapters is like torture to me now. xD I need some ideas for the Valentine's day events to put Rukia and Toshiro through! 8D So write/send me suggestions, please!

Alright, that got long. xD See you next time!

Love, Berry.:3
