"Hey Ichigo." You say as you sit down next to you best friend and crush on Orihime's couch.

"Oh hey _" he said shifting over towards the corner of the couch to give you more room with his arms on the back of the couch.

"Thanks… Oh come on guys there's hardly enough room on the couch as it is." You say as Ukitake and Shunsui sit down on the couch as well, plastering you to Ichigo's side.

"There, now there's more room." Ichigo said pulling you into his lap making both of you blush, especially you. Seeing both of you blush Grimmjow smirked and formulated a plan in his head.

"Your turn _-chan." Rangiku said handing you the hat to pick a plastic sword from.

"Okay." You say pulling out a sword and reading the name on it out loud, "Zangetsu." It took you a minute to register what you just said and when you did your whole face turned red. "Oh God." You mumble under your breath, "This couldn't get any worse." You say shaking your head.

"Go ahead I'll be right there." Ichigo told you, helping you up and watched as you pretty much ran to the other room, closing the door behind you. "What's up with her?" he asks himself out loud as he walked towards the other room.

"I'll bet 30 bucks that he'll kiss her." Grimmjow said with a smirk on his face.

"Oh really, well I bet 40 bucks that he won't" Renji said

"10"

"20"

'I'm defiantly going to be making a lot of money tonight.' Grimmjow thought to himself, watching as Ichigo started shaking his head as he walked to the other room.

"I'm coming in now." Ichigo said opening the door to find the room empty. "I know you're in here _." He said walking into the room towards the bed and crawling across it to look over the other side. "I knew you were in here somewhere." He said picking you up from the floor and sitting you beside him on the bed and wrapping his arm around you.

You relax into the familiar warmth of his body but pull back suddenly, removing his arm from your person. "Don't… I heard the bets so don't do something you wouldn't want to do. Something that could ruin our comfortable relationship and make it strained. I don't want to feel like a stranger around you." You say turning your head away from him so he couldn't see the tears in your eyes.

Reaching out he cupped your cheek with his hand and turned your head so that you were facing him and whipped away your tears. "Why would I do something that I don't want to do?" he asked using his thumb to caress your cheek, "And I've been wanting to do this for a long time." He said right before he kissed you. And it wasn't a peck on the lips either, it was a full on kiss that left you speechless. The fact that he said he wanted to kiss you paralyzed your movements and he pulled back, confused. "Did you not want me to kiss you?" He asked unsure of himself.

"Oh, no I wanted you too, just surprised is all. I never thought you liked me." You explain shyly.

"Of course I like you! Would I do half of the things I did with you if I didn't like you?" he asked.

"I guess not." You say looking down at his chest and squeak in surprise as he pulls you on to his lap so that your legs are on either side of his hips and kissed you. Pouring his feelings into the kiss and holding you as close as he could, trying to get you to believe that he loved you. Gasping in surprise he took the opportunity to shove his tongue inside your mouth and you wrap your arms around his neck, knotting your fingers in his short orange hair. Gently he shifted his body and weight so that you were on your back on the bed and he on top of you. Moving his lips from yours he put his lips to good use attacking your neck causing you to shiver in pleasure.

Grimmjow went into the room to tell you two that your time was up and saw that you two were locked in a heavy make out session. "Looks like I won the bet pay up." He said leaning against the door frame with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

"Shut up Grimmjow! I'm busy." He said kissing you again

"Oh come on! Get a room!" Grimmjow yelled at him

"If you close the door we'll have one." Ichigo retorted making you laugh.

"Come on let's go back and join reality." You say with a smile, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of the room and back to where everyone else was. He smiled and followed you out into the living room and pulled you down into his lap on your old seat on the couch. Both of you stayed that way laughing, enjoying yourselves, and stealing kisses from each other for the rest of the night.
