Hi guys! I intended to actually post a fluffy ichihime oneshot but things got pretty rough for me this week. I was sick for three days and I still have to take medication for a week so yeah, I wasn't able to finish the fluffy IH fanfic, instead, I am posting this errr... rather sad ff. This was actually the first one to be born ahahaha I just left it in the corner of my files and actually planning to post this on the end of this series of drabble. Anyways, hope you like this.
A very special day
It was a very special day. Orihime was dressed in a much more presentable clothes than the usual. She already cleaned her house; dusting every top of her furniture, changing her curtains, bedsheets and all. It was all shiny and dust free. She even exerted effort to apply make-up for it was a very special day.
She was humming a very happy song, probably the recent theme song of her life while taking the cake out of the oven. Turning to her table, she smiled when she saw the dish she happily cooked all by herself; almost every dish was quite edible and normal. No excessive red-bean paste or any weird substances mixed besides, it was a special day.
Making her way to the counter, she carefully placed the cake on the table and started coating it with white icing. After coating, she slowly put the sliced strawberries on top of it, making a simple yet eye-catching, mouth-watering cake. Now that the last piece that would complete her table was already done, she gently placed the cake in the center of the table. Lighting up the candle she personally picked for this special day, she sighed in contentment. Everybody was going to be happy. That, she made sure of.
She heaved a deep breath and closed her eyes. Smiling, she started thinking of her friends. Wishing every each of them would be blessed with a happy and contented life. Tatsuki-chan, Keigo-kun, Asano-kun, Sado-kun, Ishida-kun and her friends in Soul Society. She wished them all to be in peace. The thought of her friends being safe and happy makes her heart flutter… and yes, her Kurosaki-kun.
Her Kurosaki-kun. It'd be better if she really can call Kurosaki Ichigo, hers. But he isn't hers. He will never be because he is Kurosaki Ichigo, a selfless man who always saves others before himself. He belongs to everyone.
She hoped that Kurosaki-kun would always be safe. That whatever he does, everything would end up good. That he won't cry like the time he cried when his fullbring powers got taken away from him. She hoped that he'd become stronger so he can protect everyone else; people that he loves, his family, his friends.
She let out a dreamy sigh and blew the candles she lit as she muttered a sincere and soft "happy birthday to me"
No, she couldn't let herself be engulfed in sadness and loneliness besides, it was a very special day.
"A very special… day… " she muttered as she slowly lie down on her side. A single unnoticed tear fell down as she, again, engulfed herself in loneliness.
No, it wasn't a special day, it was just an ordinary day.
A/N: living alone is lonely yah know and it's not like her friends' world revolves around her but knowing our selfless Hime, she'd rather pray for her friends' safety and happiness!
