Chapter 6: Living the Good Life

"What are you doing here?" Uryuu asked anger clearly evident in his voice. Ryuuken smiled and looked down at the couple.

"I see your looking fairly comfortable" he said avoiding his son's question. Ichigo watched as Uryuu became angrier and angrier and began to worry. "Uryuu…calm down" he whispered taking his hand in his. Uryuu's scowl disappeared and he looked at Ichigo for a minute then gave him a small smile.

"I came to see how you were doing, Uryuu. That's all," Ryuuken said leaning against the side of the door with his arms folded.

"Well, now you see. Get out" the younger Quincy said calmly getting up from the bed holding tightly to the towel around his waist.

Ichigo slipped off the bed and went out into the hallway. "I think we should leave him to get dressed," Ichigo murmured to Uryuu's father his eyes cast down to the floor and hands in front of himself. Ryuuken shrugged and stood out in the hallway closing their bedroom door. He then took Ichigo by the chin and peered at his face carefully. "You look like your father, but you have that retched woman's eyes" he said. Ichigo slapped his hand away and took a step back. "What gives you the right to talk about my mother that way?!" Ichigo yelled. Ryuuken sighed uninterestedly and put his hands in his pocket, he looked down on the Shinigami as if he were a piece of dirt. "Because she was nothing but a selfish whore" he said. Ichigo looked at him as if he had been shot, then it all sunk in bit by bit. He clinched his fist in anger and lunged at the white haired man before him but Uryuu caught his wrist and pinned him to the wall. "LET GO!" Ichigo yelled looking at the smirking white haired man with pure murderous intent. "Come on, now who needs to calm down?" Uryuu whispered. Ichigo's whole body trembled with anger while Uryuu held tight to him.

"Well, I see you have some respect for me after all" Ryuuken said laughing. Uryuu turned his head to look at the man he called his father. "Get out of my house…" he mumbled. "What did you say to me?" asked the physician. "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" he yelled. Ryuuken furrowed his eyebrows and frowned. Ichigo sank down to the ground. "Why…why do you bother us so much?" Ichigo asked. Uryuu looked at his father. "Yes why?" Ryuuken's smirk turned into a scowl.

"Because, I hate seeing you two happy together," he said and left their house slamming the door behind him. Ichigo sat there with his mouth open, and Uryuu just looked stunned. "I can't believe him" he said to himself.

Ichigo snapped out of his reveries. "Why?" he asked. Uryuu looked at him and smiled slightly. He took his hand and gave it a soft squeeze. "Nothing, don't worry about it…" he said. "I'm sorry for what he said about your mother,"

"He can be a bastard sometimes" Uryuu explained. "Sometimes?" Ichigo asked looking at him strangely.

"M-most of the time" the archer corrected.

----------------------------------------------

Several weeks passed by and the two were back to normal.

Uryuu had cut back on his little addiction he had on Ichigo but only on one condition. Ichigo had to cut back a little on work, and he did. He no longer worked long hours at the clinic and he took the weekends off.

Early morning shone through the draperies and the sunshine fell upon Ichigo's sleeping face.

He nuzzled closer to the pillow beneath him, forgetting how comfortable the bed really was when he went away. Uryuu soon appeared with a chocolate cake topped with the number twenty five sticking out of it. Following behind the Quincy wereYuzu, Karin, his crazy father, and some of their close friends. Uryuu carefully handed the cake to Yuzu and he slowly crept up beside the bed and peered into the face of the sleeping red head. "What an angel" he said to himself and gently shook him.

Ichigo fluttered his eyes open and he looked up at Uryuu sleepily. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked rubbing one of his eyes with one hand.

Uryuu's face graced a sweet smile only for his love and he kissed him on the forehead. One of their friends sighed blushing happily at the wonderful sight of 'forbidden love'. "Nothing's wrong, today's your birthday. Remember?" he said. That's when everyone behind him shouted 'SURPRISE'. Ichigo sat up quickly and looked around the room full of people, and seeing Yuzu with delicious looking chocolate cake. "Yuzu, Karin, Dad…all you guys!" he said and looked at all of them, thankful.

"Well?" Isshin asked waging his eyebrows. "I-is that cake all mine?" Ichigo asked and everyone all together burst out in laughter.

Ichigo got out of bed and prepared for the big day, his birthday. As he stepped out into the living room and headed to the cake blowing out the one candle, everyone clapped and cheered. "Yay, Ichi-nii!!" Karin said grinning from ear to ear.

"Ready to cut the cake?" Uryuu asked while he hugged the red head. "Sure" Ichigo breathed. He blushed embarrassed at everyone staring at him. "Aw, Ichigo don't be embarrassed," Yuzu chimed giggling. "I'm not…" he mumbled and went over to the table in the middle of the living room to cut the cake.

Uryuu handed him the knife and once he cut the cake everyone bombarded him to get to the delicacy. Ichigo stepped out the way of the people and had his cake next to his husband to be who was sitting on the couch. "Jeez, you would think they never had cake before" the Shinigami said taking a piece of the cake and eating it. His face then lit up in delight. "This cake tastes…amazing," he said. "I don't know I really can't find the words".

Uryuu raised an eyebrow. "It's that good?" he asked. Ichigo took a forkful of the delicious cake and gave a piece to the Quincy. Uryuu tasted the chocolaty delight and a pleasant look came over his face. "Wow, we did a good job" he said. "Huh? Who made this cake?" the red head asked taking another bite. "Yuzu and I" Ishida smiled. "You cook? Since when?!!!" Ichigo yelled in shock. "Since forever" Ishida replied back nonchalant about the conversation.

"Then why don't you ever cook dinner sometimes?" Ichigo asked. Uryuu shrugged. "You never ask".

Ichigo made a disgruntled groaned and decided to sit back and enjoy the cake. A coy smile came over the archer's lips and he leaned over face to face with the former Shinigami and licked the few speckles of chocolate frosting lingering on his mouth. Ichigo blushed as he felt the warm, wet tongue dart out and touch his dry lips, tempting them to part and allow entrance.

Someone behind them cleared their throat loudly which got their attention. Ichigo looked up and saw that it was his father and pushed the Quincy man off of himself. Isshin looked at Uryuu. "No molesting my son on his birthday, we clear?" He asked. Ishida slid to his side of the couch and laughed sheepishly. "Y-yes, clear" he answered.

"Dad, we were just kissing…" Ichigo murmured annoyed that his make out session was cut short. "Yeah, dad. Lighten up, their adults you know." Karin said patting her father on the back. She'd grown to reach his shoulder. Isshin looked at his raven haired daughter and grinned ridiculously. "Speaking of which, what are you doing with your boyfriend?" Karin punched him in the head and he squatted down holding the injured spot in pain. "That's none of your business" she yelled fire in her eyes. Yuzu crouched down near her dad asking if he was alright. He then jumped up to his feet triumphantly. "I'm fine, it was only a love tap" he said. Karin scoffed and so did Ichigo.

To him it was no different then being at home.

After a while the guest began to clear out the house and Ichigo thanked them all for coming to celebrate his big day. "Well Ichigo, only thing left is the wedding huh?" Chad asked smiling at him. Ichigo blushed bashfully. "Yeah…" Everyone said their goodbyes and soon the house was quiet again. The red head yawned and fell onto the couch. He turned to the side and closed his eyes to rest but he soon was disturbed by a pair of hands running up his shirt. "Hey" Uryuu murmured. "Hey…" Ichigo answered looking at him through half lidded eyes. "Thanks for a wonderful birthday". The Quincy smiled. "Any time" he said and kissed his lips sweetly drawing back to peer lovingly into his face. Eyeing every detail of his features. The Shinigami blushed turning his head to the side and grinning. "Stop staring" he chuckled. "But, your so beautiful" Uryuu whispered in his ear. He traced his pale finger down the red head's jaw line and he kissed his cheek.

"I love you" he said. Ichigo looked up at the Quincy man and smiled. "I love you too". He combed his fingers through the silky black hair and the two just lie on the couch huddled up together on the big couch.

The Quincy jumped off the couch and onto his feet. He extended his hand. "Now, how about I give you your birthday gift" he stated. Ichigo looked up into the archer's lust filled eyes. "G-gift?" he gulped. Uryuu nodded and the pale hand reached out to grasp his and soon Ichigo found himself in the bedroom.

"Uhm…where is it?" Ichigo asked looking around.

Uryuu pulled off his shirt and stood before the Shinigami and hugged him close. "I'm your gift" he said his voice sultry and seductive. Ichigo laughed nervously. "R-really?" he asked and looked up. "Uh, huh" he mumbled and latched on to his lips, slipping his tongue into the Shinigami's mouth. Ichigo drew back from the kiss and blushed. "What's wrong?" Uryuu asked looking down at him concerned. "Ah…n-nothing" he said biting his lip. Ishida smiled. "I won't force it then…" he said.

The raven haired man turned on his heels and dropped down onto their giant king sized bed with a big sigh. Ichigo walked over to the bed and lie between the archer's legs and kissed him. "I'm sorry" he said.

"Tease me why don't you" Uryuu chuckled. "Maybe on your birthday" the red head said. Uryuu sat up almost making Ichigo fall to the ground. "What, that's months from now?!" he yelled. Ichigo wrapped his arms around the Quincy's neck. "I was just joking" he mumbled in his ear planting kisses on his neck. Uryuu lied back down relieved. The thought of him not being able to even touch Ichigo freaked him out. "Good" he mumbled. "Hm?" Ichigo asked looking up from his current position. "You had me there for a second" Uryuu said. He jerked up when he felt a hand slid down his pants. "H-hey w-what are you…" Ichigo gave one of his signature smirks. "Getting you hot". Uryuu's face turned beet red, and again he sat up quickly causing Ichigo to fall to the ground. "What?" Ichigo asked wincing from the fall. Uryuu held his nose. "M-my nose is bleeding…" he said. Ichigo began to laugh. "You horny bastard!" "Shut up" the archer said his words distorted from his covered nose. He went to the bathroom to wash his face.

After coming out from the bathroom and back to the bedroom Ichigo wrapped his arms around his neck. "I just touched you, I didn't know you were going to get that flustered" he said. "Me either" Uryuu said in wonder. "That's what you get for thinking about sex so much" Ichigo said grinning. Uryuu rolled his eyes. "Shut it, Kurosaki" he mumbled.

Ichigo chuckled one last time and yawned. "I'm sleepy…" he said and turned to head to the bed. Uryuu grabbed him by the shoulders and held him close. "You can't go…" he murmured. "W-why?" Ichigo asked. "I…I'm still hard" Uryuu replied. Ichigo scoffed. "Is that all? Well, I'm going to sleep then" he said walking to the bed. "But-" Uryuu moaned. "No!" Ichigo yelled. The Quincy dropped his head in defeat. He looked at Ichigo and pouted. "But…I thought you loved me" he said. The red head folded his arms then sighed. There was only one solution for this annoying problem. He pushed him back onto the bed and bent down in front of the Quincy lazily unbuckling his cargo pants and slipping them down to his ankles then he proceeded to use his skilled mouth to solve that problem. Uryuu ran his fingers through the wild bright orange spiked hair as the Shinigami bobbed his head back and forth and soon the room was filled with Uryuu's satisfied moans and Ichigo stood up and slid in the bed while the archer lie there wallowing in complete ecstasy.

"Now go to sleep!" Ichigo yelled. Ishida went to the bathroom to clean up then jumped in the bed with his fiancée. "Yes sir!" he said and gave Ichigo a thank you kiss on the cheek.

"You owe me" he mumbled. Ishida beamed snuggling next to the red head..

-----------------------------------------------------

The shrill beeping of the alarm clock woke the Shinigami right up and he was off to the bathroom to get ready for work.

It was Monday after all.

Ichigo rushed out the bathroom and put on his work clothes only to be stopped by his lover. "Good morning" greeted a deep friendly voice. "G-good morning," Ichigo stammered receiving a hug from the archer. "Would you like some coffee?" Uryuu asked. The young doctor shook his head declining the offer putting on the last of his clothes. "Why do you get up so early?" Ichigo asked grabbing a piece of toast from the Quincy's plate. "Working" he smiled and leaned down to plant a loving kiss on the others lips. "How about I drive you to work?" he offered.

Ichigo laughed. "No, it's only a bus ride away. It'll be a waste of gas". "For you it won't be" Ishida replied taking back the piece of toast the other had stolen. "Okay Mr. Sweet Talker, let's go then". Closing and locking the condominium door behind them the two loaded into Ishida's car.

"Thanks for the ride, you didn't have…" the red headed man said but Uryuu shushed him before he could finish. "A husband must treat his wife like a beautiful princess or Queen depending on how old you are" Uryuu explained. He looked at Ichigo smiling while Ichigo gapped. "What?!" he said. Uryuu held up his hand. "But…but in our case, this husband will be treating his wife like a beautiful Prince" he said.

Ichigo sat back in his seat. "You make it sound as if I were a transvestite" he said. "…and why do I have to be the wife?" he asked looking extremely concerned. Ishida stopped the car suddenly in the parking lot of the clinic. "Oh look, we're here!" he announced completely ignoring Ichigo's question.

The Shinigami sighed to himself, got out of the car and slammed the door. "Hey, watch how you close my door" Uryuu warned also getting out. He grabbed Ichigo's arm pulling him in for a passion filled kiss. Ichigo pushed himself away. "Stop that!" he said.

"Why, I'm just kissing you goodbye" the older one replied. "I know, but these people here don't know that I'm gay" he clarified. "Oh, I see" Uryuu nodded. "So I can't even kiss your hand or cheek then right?" he asked hands on his hips. "Right" the red head said agreeing. Uryuu ran his hands through his own hair and sighed tiredly. "Don't you get tired of hiding?" he asked leaning on his car. "A man's gotta do, what a man's gotta do" Ichigo said looking up at the sky above him. "Pfft. You, a man. Imagine that" Uryuu joked. "What's that supposed to mean?" Ichigo asked looking at the raven haired man angrily

Uryuu shrugged. "Nothing…" he lied. He stood up from leaning on his car straightened Ichigo's white jacket and ran his pale finger down his clothed chest. "Love you" he mumbled looking at him, his eyes sparkling. Ichigo smiled and walked away waving his hand. "Love you too" he said and was off.

Getting into his car Uryuu open up the sunroof "Bye honey bunny!!" he yelled out at the red head. Ichigo turned and looked at the laughing Quincy. "Shut, up!" he yelled back and stomped into the clinic fuming.

--------------------------------------------------

Uryuu decided instead of going home he'd go to his office to check on how his designs and workers were doing.

Cruising the highway he rode minding his own business, whistling to himself. But unaware there was a car down the road veering out of control and before he knew it the car had hit him head on sending his car crashing into some woods nearby.

The man who had crashed into him got out untouched and looked around seeing people stopping to help, but instead of staying he ran. Leaving his and his victim of the crash's totaled crushed cars.

Uryuu on the other hand did not fare so well. The car was lying upside down crushed on top of him. He looked around himself and tried to move his body but he could not move at all, he was broken, and bloodied all over.

------------------------------------------------------

"Doctor Ichigo" little Yumi said swinging her legs backward and forward while sitting on the hospital bed getting checked up.

"Yes Yumi?" Ichigo asked wrapping the stethoscope around his neck and getting a small needle out. "Why were you kissing that man in the parking lot?" she asked looking at him for an answer. Ichigo paused for a moment staring at her.

"W-what are you talking about?" he asked after the long pause. "I was looking out the window and saw you and this man with glasses kissing. Is he your friend?" she said asking a more manageable question. Ichigo smiled at her. "Y-yes, he's my friend" he said obviously lying to the little girl. "Oh, okay. Friends kiss each other?" she asked. "Damn, she acts as if this were an interrogation!" Ichigo thought to himself. "S-sometimes, Yumi".

The little girl blushed. "Well, you're my best friend. Can I kiss you?" she asked twiddling her fingers and swinging her legs at a faster pace. The bright orange haired doctor almost fell out of his chair. "Y-Yumi, you should think about letting me finish your check up" he said regaining his composure. "Oh, okay then" she sighed and gave the doctor her arm to draw her usual blood out. "There" he said and patted her on the head. "See you tomorrow Yumi" he said. "Okay, bye bye!" she waved snuggling up to her teddy bear in her hospital bed.

He waved back and closed the door sighing in relief. "Kids these days" he said to himself. He walked briskly back to his office but stopped to look at the television where everyone was surrounding. "What's going on?" he asked squeezing his way through to get a better view. "Ishida Uryuu got in a terrible car accident today. My goodness!" said one of the nurses cried along with other woman in the room.

Ichigo looked at the television and listened to the anchor woman's report on the incident.

"Today the legendary fashion designer Ishida Uryuu-san got in a car crash today and is in critical condition. Sources say that he may not make it through the night. Our hearts and prayers all go out to him and hope he makes it through this ordeal"

Ichigo gasped to himself and looked at the screen. He stared holes into the screen, not believing what he heard or saw.

One nurse placed a hand on his shoulder. "Kurosaki-san, are you alright?" she asked. He turned his head slowly and looked at her. "No…no, I'm not alright…" he murmured tears streaming down his face.

------------------------------------------

Tsuara: Oh no, Uryuu!! I hope he's alright, and I hope Ichigo's alright too…oh man. Anyway…is it getting crazy for you guys? Is it too much to handle? Tell me what you think about it man. This is getting scary.

Well, thanks for reading and I'll see you folks next chapter!
