It was a particularly lovely day, with an even better twilight. Spurred on by this rare sunset, Ichigo experienced one of his mushy-gushy moments.
"You're like a vanilla twilight," he said to Rukia. Rukia stared. And then stared some more. Quickly, her mind started calculating the possibilities. It could simply because he was complimenting her (the sunset did look nice), or he was comparing her to a flavor. Did that mean he wanted to eat her? Ew. Deciding to let that go for the moment, she watched the twilight with him. Then, waiting until he fell asleep, she snuck into his room to use his computer.
'Vanilla twilight', she typed into the search box on Google. A song from Owl City popped up. Glancing at the strawberry assured her that he was completely asleep with no chance of waking up. Amused, she thought to herself-why not? Turning the knob on the speakers to full, she clicked on the link. The loud music that greeted her alarmed her, and she adjusted it to a level that would not wake everyone within five mile radius. Once recovered from momentary deafness, Rukia found the song to be quite pleasant.
The stars lean down to kiss you
And I lie awake and miss you
Pour me a heavy dose of atmosphere
'Cause I'll doze off safe and soundly
But I'll miss your arms around me
I'd send a postcard to you, dear
'Cause I wish you were here
I'll watch the night turn light-blue
But it's not the same without you
Because it takes two to whisper quietly
The silence isn't so bad
'Til I look at my hands and feel sad
'Cause the spaces between my fingers
Are right where yours fit perfectly
I'll find repose in new ways
Though I haven't slept in two days
'Cause cold nostalgia
Chills me to the bone
But drenched in vanilla twilight
I'll sit on the front porch all night
Waist-deep in thought because
When I think of you I don't feel so alone
I don't feel so alone, I don't feel so alone
As many times as I blink
I'll think of you tonight
I'll think of you tonight
When violet eyes get brighter
And heavy wings grow lighter
I'll taste the sky and feel alive again
And I'll forget the world that I knew
But I swear I won't forget you
Oh, if my voice could reach
Back through the past
I'd whisper in your ear
Oh darling, I wish you were here
That night, Ichigo developed a jealousy towards stars that he had never felt before. Strange, he thought. He had had a dream where Rukia was in a vanilla dress and a star flew down from the sky and kissed her. Then, his dream self had measured the spaces between his fingers and Rukia's to discover they fit together perfectly. Even odder, Rukia's eyes became so bright that he was temporarily blinded. An owl's wings grew lighter when he weighed it, and he ate the sky. Strange*.
Even stranger was when he recounted the dream to Rukia, she blushed and glanced at his computer guiltily.
