PROMPT C: Consequences

Friendship/Humor: Karin and Toshirou

Karin didn't much care about the consequences of hanging out with Toshirou every night at 8 P.M. Toshirou could handle it if people started bullying him for hanging out with her or something, or if her brother threatened him about getting his little sister into trouble, or hurt. Toshirou could handle himself, Karin knew that better than anyone else. Most of the time, Ichigo was pretty cool about them being friends, anyway.

It was Yuzu that bugged the crap out of Toshirou. She loved her little sister all to bits and pieces, but sometimes, Yuzu went a little overboard. The year before, she'd spread mistletoes all over the house, trying to get him and Karin under one, ecstatic that Toshirou had made it and had actually made an effort to visit them. Which he hadn't… he'd just been ordered on a mission and played it off like he planned it so Yuzu wouldn't cry- he seemed to get antsy when the youngest Kurosaki cried. Karin couldn't blame him, it just tugged at one's heart when the blonde cried.

Hell, even the night before, when they'd decided to skip out on an hour of soccer and go home to Yuzu, she'd lit candles on the kitchen table and turned down the lights, gave everyone their food, and then invited all but Toshirou and Karin to eat in the living room. The two had had no choice but to accept the conditions, but they ruined the date mood as Toshirou spit out his milk over the floor-some out his nose, while laughing at Karin's surprised expression when she had tripped.

He tended to lose his Captain-like composure when he was around Karin and she did stupid things-which was often.

Rangiku Matsumoto was just another issue in their friendship. She tended to take more impulsive actions than Yuzu, like inviting them over to Orihime's to play Seven Minutes in Heaven without Orihime's permission, or Spin the Bottle. Rangiku pestered Toshirou day and night, gushing things like, "Oh Captain, don't tell me you haven't thought about it! She has grown in the past few years!"

Most of the time, Toshirou just growled back that he didn't think of Karin that way and shrugged her off. She usually obeyed for a few minutes before continuing.

Needless to say, these consequences-as well as the others they had to endure, were nothing against the powerful friendship they had formed.
