A/N:
Poor Ichigo.


Ichigo receives a small slip of paper in his mailbox one day. "A date with Kuchiki. 8PM Saturday at the Red Bean Café," it reads. And at the bottom in small scribbles, "Dress nicely!" Ichigo's mouth falls open in shock and his heart skips a beat. He cannot believe this is for real and does not even bother to think further than the surface.

Kuchiki Byakuya receives a hell butterfly with a simple message. "A meeting with Kurosaki, 8PM, Red Bean Café, Karakura Town." He barely lifts his head to look at it. Well, he figures, he will do it if it is part of his duty.

On Saturday, Ichigo hurries home hastily from the grocery store where he works. He rushes around his room, trying to dredge up some sort of presentable outfit, an admirable feat considering he hasn't been "out" in a good two years now. He curses as he stomps across the hall to his father's room, where he steals a tie from the closet despite his father's childish complaints.

At 7:55 PM, Ichigo stares at himself in the bathroom mirror and twitches the knot in his tie one last time before he leaves the house, nervous and fidgeting. He fingers the buttons on his shirtsleeves the whole way to the café, where he spends a whole three minutes at the door, pacing and muttering to himself.

Finally mustering up his courage, Ichigo pushes open the clean glass doors and steps inside, and finds himself facing a single table with roses resting around a candle in the middle. Very romantic, thinks Ichigo. Then he raises his eyes to the face of the person waiting and his jaw drops. Very romantic, except the only problem is, Kuchiki Byakuya is sitting in one of the two chairs.

"…"

Ichigo's eye twitches in disbelief, and after a few agonizing seconds, he runs out of the café, screaming in frustration, "Godammit, this is the wrong Kuchiki!"

On the other side of the glass, Yoruichi rolls to the ground, gasping with laughter.
