Green Apple: this is fluffy!
I opened my eyes and unwrapped the lollipop to see the bright green color underneath. "Sour green apple?" I called and a snowy haired captain huffed. "Toshiro and Freya get on up!" Orihime announced and I did as orihime told. She locked the captain and I in the dark room and I felt around for the bed. I heard Toshiro curse at the light not working. "Calm down Toshiro"
"Don't call me that! I hate it when you people do that!" the boy yelled and I flinched a bit. "Why? Why do you hate being called by your first name? I'm not a soul reaper…I'm not a subordinate so I'm your friend and friends call each other by their first names…right?" I questioned the not so young kid who I still couldn't see because my eyes hadn't adjusted to the dark. He was silent and I frowned. "Or am I not your friend…Captain Hitsugaya?" I retorted bitterly. We had known each other ever since he came to the world of the living and I always made time to stop and see him. But just like his Zanpaktou's nature he was cold as ever and never let people in too deep and it made me kind of upset that he didn't trust me enough.
"I consider you my friend but it's always formal with you!"
It was so dark that I felt like I was talking to myself because I couldn't see anything. "You come to the world of the living to protect it from hollows…you protect those dear to you as well…" I continued but felt my throat tighten and tears build in my eyes. "Protecting the world from hollows is your duty as a captain and nothing more…but to protect Momo or Rangiku and your squad is something more right?" I curled into my habitual position with my knees drawn towards my chin, hands resting on the caps. "What am I to you? Do humans not count as people dear to you? Are they just apart of your duty and nothing more?" My voice quivered and I was border lining anger and sadness. "I want to be dear to you Toshiro Hitsugaya, like you are dear to me!" I felt the first tear start rolling down my cheek when suddenly a soft thumb came and brushed it away. "Anyone who is a friend of Ichigo's has first priority over any other duty I have…you are no different…" Toshiro's voice was close to my ear and I felt his slim arm pull my head to his shoulder. "I'm sorry for making you upset Freya…please don't cry" his voice was soft and gentle. "I don't let people call me by my first name because I just feel like it's degrading and people think lower of me. Before I became a soul reaper people treated me like a monster because of Hyorinmaru being inside me and never used my last name only my first because they liked my grandmother but not her demon grandson…" he spilled out more than I ever dreamed of hearing. "…But you know that when I have to call you captain…I feel like you think lower of me and I know in strength you out match me any day! Still I…"
"I didn't think of it like that before Freya…I'm sorry…please forgive me…" he whispered and held me tighter. I cried into his shoulder before eventually falling asleep to his nimble finger stroking through my hair and listening to his steady heartbeat. I was still leaning on Toshiro's shoulder when Orihime came in and snapped a picture of us. "Aww so cute! Orihime cooed and the snow haired boy shushed her. "Get a close up on her face, it's even cuter"

This one was a bit short and fluffy. If you were disappointed then try another Lollipop flavor but I think this one was fitting for the flavor! A bit sour in the beginning but as you get to the piece of bum at the center it becomes sweet! ^_^
