(Ichigo's POV)

Ichigo stirred in his sleep. He felt something warm shift against his chest, and his eyes fluttered open slowly. Glancing down, he saw a small blonde curled up in his arms. Ichigo suddenly remembered everything that happened the day before and blushed. Everything had happened so fast… but he didn't regret a second of it. He buried his face in Izuru's impossibly soft blond hair and breathed in deeply, storing the sweet scent in his memory. Izuru stirred lightly against his chest again, and Ichigo watched in amusement as the blonde's baby blue eyes fluttered open and widened comically. Izuru pulled his head back to look into Ichigo's soft chocolate eyes.

"Mornin' Izuru." Ichigo murmured to the flustered blonde. He smiled as he sat up, shifting the blonde so he was sitting cradled in Ichigo's lap with his head on the strawberries shoulder. All the memories of the night before rushed into the blonde's head, and it showed on his face. A light blush graced his pale skin and he looked down at his lap, fidgeting with his hair.

A chuckle escaped Ichigo's lips, and he tilted Izuru's head up and kissed the blonde's sweet lips gently.

"Ichigo…" Kira murmured softly, the blush on his cheeks darkening. Ichigo grinned at the cute blushing blonde, then shifted him off his lap and stood from the couch. The strawberry stretched his long arms, causing his shirt to ride up and revealed an expanse of soft creamy skin. Kira sighed as Ichigo finished stretching and disappeared into the kitchen. The small blonde curled up into the corner of the couch and waited for Ichigo to come back, and hoping he had forgotten about school. Izuru was in no mood to sit through classes today.

"Hey I'm gunna take a shower." Ichigo called from the kitchen. "Help yourself to food."

Izuru simply sat on the couch, listening to Ichigo rummaging around in the bathroom, then hearing the water turn on. Sitting up, he peered curiously into the kitchen.

No I can't just go eat Kur- Ichigo sans food. That would be rude right? But he did offer….

'Izuru was in the kitchen rummaging through the fridge. He pulled out an apple and closed the fridge. Biting down on it he turned and jumped as he realized Gin was leaning in the doorway watching him with that seemingly all knowing grin on his pale face.

"Gin-sama! I didn't know you were there I just…."

"Iz alright mah little Izuru, you were jus hungry." Gins voice was extremely calm. Izuru never could tell when gin would suddenly loose his temper.'

"Izuru? Hello?" Ichigo's voice made the small blonde jump. "I thought I told you, help yourself to food." Izuru was confused by the frown on Ichigo's face.

"I, um, well…." Ichigo grinned unexpectedly and chuckled.

"You don't have to be shy Izuru." He called over his shoulder as he walked into the kitchen. Suddenly he came running out of the kitchen, his eyes wide. "We are gunna be late for school! Come on we have to go!" He threw on a shirt and ran out the door.

Izuru's heart fell. He was hoping the strawberry had forgotten about school. H dragged himself off the couch and followed Ichigo to the car.

At School (Ichigo's POV)

They arrived in time for their second classes and went their separate ways, promising to meet up before lunch. Ichigo's classes were long and dull, as he couldn't seem to keep his mind off of his little blonde.

Wait…. MY BLONDE?! He's not mine…. Is he?

These thoughts plagued the strawberries mind until his last class before lunch let out. He jumped up, grabbed his bookbag and hurried to their meeting point, at the fountain around the side of the school.

"Ichigo!" He turned expecting to see Izuru walking toward him, but instead he saw trouble.

"Grimmjow, what do you want?" A scowl creased the gingers brow, while a cocky smirk covered the bluenette's face. Whenever Grimmjow made an appearance, trouble always followed.

"Just thought id come say hi to my favorite strawberry." Grimmjow was standing a foot away from the said strawberry now, pissing Ichigo off more than the blue haired mans face.

"Get lost." He gave his chest a firm push, making Grimmjow stumble backwards. Grimmjow frowned.

"Your going to regret that Ichigo." Without warning, Grimmjow's fist shot up and planted a harsh punch on Ichigo's jaw. His head snapped to the right and he stumbled. That was defiantly going to bruise. He straightened up, prepared to return the punch, when a fist hit him in the gut, forcing all the air out of his lungs. Ichigo landed on his back, winded. Scrambling to his hands and knees, desperate for air, he gasped, but as soon as he got another lungful, Grimmjow's foot came down on his side. Ichigo felt ribs snap as he collapsed to the ground. Pain shot through him.

"Sorry strawberry, but I can't let ya push me around like that." Grimmjow stalked away with the same cocky grin plastered on his face.

"Ichigo!" This time it was Izuru. "Ichigo are you alright?!"

He let out a grunt as the blonde laid his hand gently on the spot where Grimmjow had kicked him.

"I'll call an ambulance. Just don't move." Izuru's quavering voice was replaced by confidence. This shocked Ichigo, but not enough to let the blonde go through with it.

"No. No hospital." Ichigo grunted again as he pulled himself upright. Pain shot through his side, but he wouldn't let the blonde see it. "I'm fine."

I can't believe I let him kick my ass. And I didn't even land one hit on him!

He looked up into the blondes worried eyes. "I'll be fine. I promise."

But just then, his head started to spin, and everything went black.
