Not Just Friends
Distant Memories
A few moments went by as Ichigo used the toilet, and Orihime was changed into his t-shit. She was trying to figure out a way to make it longer when the door to the bedroom started to open.
"Orihime does that shirt fit all right?" Ichigo didn't notice the girl was still half-naked even with the huge shirt on.
"Umm… not really" was all she could say as her cheeks started going red from memories of 3 years ago, but this time Ichigo didn't walk in on her in the bathroom. Orihime looked up at Ichigo and noticed he was looking appreciatively at the site in front of him.
"Ichigo, your kinda staring is there something wrong" Orihime started looking at herself to see if there was something on his shirt.
"No, it just looks good on you that's all" Ichigo mumbled the words to make sure no one but him could hear.
"Oh, okay. Ichigo, where do I sleep tonight" Ichigo thought about this question then asked the same thing he asked all those years ago.
"You want the floor or the bed" and before Orihime could answer Ichigo mumbled a "with me"
"What do you mean with you" Orihime was getting a little flushed
"Well umm, if you pick the bed im not going to sleep on the floor" Ichigo quickly thought up.
"Well in that case I'll take the bed" Ichigo was surprised that the answer he received. He remembered the storm that brought them together, the storm the Orihime was so scared to be in with out her brother. He remembered how small she was, so child like. For the first time Ichigo noticed her as a woman.
"Well okay, im going to bed now, so if you want to watch TV or something until your tired I'll turn it on for you" Orihime looked at the wall opposite the bed where a small black T.V. was sitting.
"Sure I guess, but won't it keep you awake" she asked in concern for the boy, she realized was now a man.
"Pfft no, I sleep with it on all the time. It really doesn't bother me" Ichigo walked over to the TV turned it on and hopped in to bed.
"The man was not identified by locals…" the news reporter on the TV talking about a robbery that happened on the other side of town. Orihime wasn't able to listen to the boring reporter any longer. She fell asleep beside Ichigo, who was still very much awake.
Every time I close my eyes, I see her. Why? I don't still have the same feelings for her do I? I know I missed her. I forgot about her, she was never coming back. She hurt me to bad to want her again, yet here she is sleeping in my bed. Why is this happening? Ichigo thought this as Orihime's breathing became soft.
"Ichigo, please don't leave me, I want you. I want you to protect me. Im sorry if I hurt you. Please don't let that come between us." Orihime spoke softly in her sleep.
"Why don't you want me to leave you?" Ichigo said not realizing that the girl is sleeping
"I don't want you to leave me because, because …" her voice died down back to soundless breathing.
"Because why, Orihime why?" Ichigo was yelling this woke the girl.
"what's wrong Ichigo? Why you yelling?" Orihime spoke still quietly but sitting up.
"Nothing, you were just talking in your sleep, that's all. Sorry if I woke you up" he looked out the window when he sat up.
"Its fine, don't worry, im glad you woke me up actually. I was having a bad dream" Ichigo turned to look at the girl.
The moon light that came through the window was shinning on her. Her eye's looked so pretty in the moon light, and her hair seemed to sparkle under the moon.
"Ichigo, what are you looking at,? hehe, your making me nervous," Orihime said giving her self butterflies as she realized her was looking at her with lust. The memory of that looked from all those years ago; she could only remember the look, not the event after that look.
"Sorry, it's just that you look really beautiful under the moonlight. I'll stop staring now" the words Ichigo spoke gave him a tingling feeling in the pit of his stomach.
"It's fine Ichigo" Orihime put her hand to his face to get a better look into his eyes. In order to do so she had to lean in closer to his face to touch it.
Ichigo leaned in to the touch of her hand; he opened his eyes to look into hers. The moment was perfect. There was no one else but the two of them.
"Ichigo, what are you thinking about" Orihime had a smile on her face, and the sleep was away from her eyes
"Well, to be honest, im not sure. What are you thinking about?" He felt weird asking the question. He knew what he wanted, but he wasn't sure Orihime wanted the same.
"I, umm… want you to kiss me Ichigo" the butterflies in both of their stomachs were fluttering furiously. They were both so close to each other, yet so far apart. Orihime moved so that she was on her hands and knees to crawl towards Ichigo.
He motioned Orihime to sit on his lap. To his surprise, Orihime didn't do that. She rose to her knees and leaned into him, and spoke softly in his ear.
"I think you want to kiss me back hehe, don't you" with that, she leaned back sitting on her heels.
Ichigo felt like he couldn't breath, the thought of him kissing her again took his breath away, the butterflies didn't help either.
"I'll umm be right back." Ichigo finally said after a few minutes of trying to breathe. The air in his room was so hot he had to leave to clear his mind, cool himself down.
When he returned to the room, the air in side cooled down, yet Ichigo himself still felt the hot air around him. Orihime was leaning against the windowsill looking out into the night. She didn't realize Ichigo returned so she just kept staring out into the dark.
Ichigo wanted her, but as always when the thought of Orihime came up, his mother was standing beside him.
"Ichigo, if you want her get her, she loves you Ichigo, and im sure you feel the same. No more crying over what you had, make those distant memories of her turn into new fresh happy memories" his mother whispered into her son's ear.
With that, convincing Ichigo crawled into bed, turned Orihime around slowly to not hurt or surprise her. He moved the girl to the wall and leaned against her body as he kissed her passionately.
