Ichigo's Thoughts
Hichigo's Thoughts
Ichigo watched as his arm was clutched and Rukia clinged onto him. Hichigo stood behind him walking with them. Rukia led Ichigo to some dark alley probably to tell him about some new hollows or problems in Soul Society. She pushed him into the wall of the alley and before he had time to react her lips were pressed up against his once again. Instantly, all the fear was brought back. All of the emotions that had happened in that scene were back.
Except, something was off. Looking around, Ichigo noticed that Hichigo wasn't screaming and yelling for Rukia to get her filthy hands off of him. Instead, Hichigo stood showing no emotion except for the ice cold stare he was sending…Ichigo's way. What's going on?! Finally, Ichigo pushed Rukia off of him and he met Hichigo's gaze. Then, Hichigo just turned around and began to stomp out of the alley.
Ichigo helplessly followed him and called out, "Hichigo wait!"
Hichigo did wait, but his hands were balled into fists at his sides. Ichigo went to lay a hand on his lover's shoulder when he was knocked back. He fell onto cold ground and winced when he felt a sharp pain in his cheek. Instinctually, he reached his hand up to touch his cheek and it felt warm and wet. Looking down at his hand, he realized that he was bleeding. Confused and terrified brown eyes met Hichigo's tense frame. His fist was still in the position he had used to hit Ichigo.
"Just get out of here, Ichigo! I should have known you would never love me, but did you really have to cheat on me with that…that BITCH?!" Hichigo yelled.
"Hichigo…"
Hichigo's stare grew intense when Ichigo went to speak and before Ichigo knew it, Hichigo had his fist ready to hit him again yet before he could, everything went black.
A gasp escaped Ichigo as he sat up from bed, heart racing. His head sharply turned to look everywhere around the room. Ichigo took in deep breaths when he realized it had all been a dream. [1] Hichigo still loved him. He hadn't had an affair with Rukia and best of all, Hichigo hadn't hurt him. Damn, that was horrible. Groaning, Ichigo laid back down on the bed trying to regain his composure. That's when he heard it.
At first it was just some annoying little ringing in his ears, but now that he listened he could hear someone mumbling. He raised a brow in question as he sat up and tried to hear it better. That's definitely someone mumbling. Cautiously, Ichigo stood from the bed and went over to his door. He quietly turned the knob and stuck his head out. Now that he could hear a bit better, he heard two people talking. Wait, Renji was the only one with me in the house so, that means either my family's back or is it…
"Hichigo!" he harshly whispered.
His legs instantly went into action as he ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. Sitting at the table were Renji and some very attractive young man. He wore a white hoodie that really showed off his lean figure and a pair of equally white skinny jeans that hugged his legs nicely. What really stood out though was his skin. It was a pale white just like Hichigo's and his eyes were the same yellow color. Who is he? Renji's albino friend?
Hichigo and Renji had just been talking about nothing really when they heard thunderous footsteps making their way down the stairs. Renji gave Hichigo a thumbs-up telling him he was going to tell Ichigo everything and it would all be fine, but that's not how he felt at the moment. A shaky breath later and there standing in the doorway was Ichigo. Hichigo's frame tensed when he felt Ichigo's eyes scan him over.
"Renji…who's this?" asked Ichigo. [2]
Renji looked over at Hichigo and sighed. Looks like he would have to start things off.
"Well um, Ichigo this is…Hichigo."
Ichigo stared. And stared. And stared. Hichigo?
"Why are you wearing different clothes?" he asked.
Renji looked back over at Hichigo telling him he needed to explain this part and Hichigo only cringed.
"Hichigo…" Renji said in a warning tone of voice.
"Alright, fine. I'll tell him."
"Tell me what?"
Hichigo sighed before he walked over to Ichigo. Hichigo gave Renji a look and he got the message quickly going around them to find something else to do for a few minutes. [3] Hichigo then pulled Ichigo into a tight embrace and Ichigo nuzzled into the familiar chest. Hichigo petted Ichigo's hair and sighed.
"What do you need to tell me, Hichigo?"
"Well Ichigo, how would you react if I told you I was a human?"
Ichigo was about to say that, that wasn't possible when he heard it. Lub-dub. What the hell? Ichigo leaned into Hichigo's chest a bit more. Lub-dub. Lub-dub. No way in fuck.
"Ichigo…?"
"Hichigo, what the hell did you do?" Ichigo asked in a calm fashion.
Hichigo inwardly flinched. If Ichigo was this calm, then he was seething with rage on the inside.
"Ichigo, I know Rukia and some other girls have been hitting on you recently and honestly I can't stand to see someone else touching you. However, when they make you scared and hurt you, that's when I take things into my own hands. And that's what I did. I went to Urahara to ask for his help when Unasaki told him something. Asashin had a potion that could turn me into a human.
If I became a human then, everyone would be able to see me and know you were taken. No one would hurt you anymore so; I went to Asashin and became a human. It's only temporary, but if you want it to be permanent then he can make it permanent."
Ichigo clutched the soft fleece of Hichigo's jacket as he spoke. He went through all that for me? He really shouldn't have, but that was sweet maybe it won't be so bad to have a human Hichigo.
"Hichigo, you're too nice to me. I'm not mad at you for doing that. It was really sweet, but next time, tell me first."
Hichigo's heart fluttered when he heard Ichigo say that. He doesn't hate me. He's not even mad at me.
"I think I can manage that."
Hichigo then lifted Ichigo's chin up with his fingers and brought their lips together. [4]
[1] Who guessed it was a dream? I know you people are smart enough to guess that was a dream XD
[2] It's your lover, Ichigo!
[3] Renji it's private time. Out cha go~
[4] Sucky ending is sucky.
Author's Note: Well there's the best chapter ever! ...XD Oh my gosh, no that was pretty lame to me. Oh well. It has everything that I wanted in it so yeah. I had planned more, but when I thought about it, it really didn't fit. So I hope you are all appeased with this chappie.
RQOTD: Best chapter ever?
It's okay. I know it's not. XD
