Second chapter for you to enjoy. I reuploaded it with minor layout changes, just like the first one.
I own Ishida Uryuu.

Chapter 2
Why does it have to be so scary?

Ishida was lying at home, alone, on his comfy bed. He was trying hard to relax, but it was not working. He was angry, and tired. A couple of weeks ago he told Ichigo that he should try and confess to Inoue, and he still regretted that. His friend didn't need to be told twice. After Ishida solemnly swore that Orihime definitely liked him and he had nothing to worry about, Ichigo went straight to her home. Since then, they have been a happy couple. Uryuu couldn't stand looking at them. But what could he do? Kurosaki was the straightest dude he ever met. He knew he had no chance. But it didn't make him feel any less frustrated.

'Damn it' he thought. 'Why does it always have to be me?'

The dreams didn't stop. Ever night Ichigo was a guest in his bed, doing things the real boy would never do. Ishida felt ashamed. He couldn't look shinigami in the eye. He was avoiding both of them. It was not hard- since they started going out, Ichigo and Orihime were inseparable, and didn't really pay much attention to the surrounding. Ishida found himself uncomfortable in their company. And the desire he felt towards the orange haired boy slowly started to turn into hatred. Not the kind of hatred he felt earlier, when he thought Kurosaki was the most irritating person ever, and also a goddamned shinigami. It was a feeling coming from the pain of rejection, from frustration, from unfulfilled desires. He blamed Ichigo for his sorrow. He never felt anything like that before, and he didn't like it at all. They were comrades. They were fighting monsters together. They put their lives on the line together. And yet, he couldn't stop feeling the way he did. He told himself he was being unreasonable. He told himself it would pass with time. But he could do nothing to feel better. So he just lied quietly on his bed, trying to forget.

The sudden knocking surprised him. He didn't expect any guests. He got up slowly and walked to the door. When he checked who was there, he couldn't believe it. It was Kurosaki. Alone. And he was not looking very good. As a matter of fact, he looked terribly.
-'Come in' - said Ishida - 'What happened? You look like you just had an encounter with a vasto lorde.'
- 'Worse. I just had an encounter with a bad case of teenage jealousy.'
- 'Inoue? I can't believe it, she's not really the jealous type, you know.'
- 'Well, it appears she is. Can't blame her, really.'
- 'Umm, I think I'm missing something. What have you done to make her, of all people, mad at you? She found you making out with Rukia or something?' - Uryuu tried to be funny, but even he didn't believe that his lame attempt at a joke would cheer up anyone.
- 'Precisely.'

If he ever felt shocked in his life, that was nothing compared to how he felt at the moment. Ichigo? Cheating on Orihime with Rukia? No way, that must be another one of his wicked dreams. However, after a couple of painful pinches he was forced to believe it was indeed a reality. He didn't know how to react. So, it seems the happy relationship of his friends came to a sudden end. He felt bad for Inoue, she didn't deserve it. And he couldn't believe Ichigo turned out to be such an... asshole?

- 'Let's make things clear' - Ishida said, after a long, awkward silence that followed Ichigo's confession. - 'You were dating Orihime, and fucking Rukia in your free time, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. And I really hope I'm wrong here.'
- 'Oh, don't be so dramatic. Inoue was a nice girlfriend, but I'm a dude and I have needs! You can't expect me to be satisfied with holding hands and exchanging small kisses every now and then.' - Ichigo sounded pretty annoyed.
- 'Maybe for you it's not a big deal, but you behaved like a complete jerk, you know' - Ishida couldn't believe he ever had feelings for a guy like that.

The awkward silence that followed this statement was one of the most uncomfortable in Quincy's life. After what seemed like a centaury Ichigo finally said
- 'I know, you are right. I don't know what's happening to me. Maybe it's the hollow. Lately I can't really control myself at times. I tend to be violent. Rukia didn't mind, though' - he chuckled - 'she actually pretty enjoyed that.'
- 'Please, spare me the details' - Uryuu was starting to feel uneasy. There was definitely something wrong with Ichigo. He was not behaving like a guy he used to know. - 'Did you try talking with Urahara about your little problem?'
- 'Yeah. He told me I had to sort this out myself. Really helpful, that guy.' - Ichigo made a short pause - 'Anyway, what do you think about a couple of marlons?'
- 'What??' - Ishida was dumbfounded. What was this guy thinking?
- 'You know, brandy?'
- 'I know what marlons are, thank you very much. Do I need to remind you that we are underage?' - it was starting it get more and more ridiculous - 'where do you think you would get booze from?'

The grin on Kurosaki's face suggested that he already took care of that matter. He opened his backpack and took out a huge, half empty bottle of amber liquor.
- 'Did you drink it all yourself?'
- 'Yeah, on my way to your place, actually. '
'Now that would explain his strange behaviour' thought Ishida.
- 'So, will you bring glasses?'

Ishida was positively terrified. Ichigo didn't plan on sharing much of the alcohol with his friend, and soon he started to yell not exactly nice comments directed at females in general. Apparently his recent encounter with Orihime made him hate the entire gender.

- 'And you Ishida... do you like girls?' - he said, or rather attempted to say, for his tongue was clearly not working properly
- 'What do you mean by that?' - Ishida blushed - 'Of course I like girls, I have many female friends...'
- 'No, not like that. Do you like fucking girls?' - shinigami chuckled- 'You always seemed like a gay type to me. For a while I even thought you fancied me' - he was obviously amused.
- 'You are drunk. Maybe we should stop already? Aren't you tired? It was a long day, maybe you should rest...'
- 'Ohhh, are you inviting me to your bedroom? I never expected you to be so horny' - another chuckle.

That was too much for Uryuu. Now he was really scared. His friend was smiling in a creepy way, and Quincy felt the needed to do something quickly, or things might go horribly wrong.
- 'Listen Ichigo, you really had enough. Come on, I'll help you get back home...' - he was interrupted by Kurosaki violently pining him to the floor.
- 'Are you trying to get rid of me? I don't think so' - the evil grin on his face made Ishida shudder in fear.

By that time, Kurosaki didn't really looked like Kurosaki anymore. He looked like a hollow.

I really do own Ishida, keep away from him.
