Ok! I'm not sure if this one is going to be another weird one from me but if it is…sorry!
But I thought this might be cute!
Anyway let's get this started! Btw…I got my drivers permit today!! Sorry I'm just super happy I had to say that!
"Hey Rukia come on!"
"Wait Rangiku! I'm coming! I'm coming!" a black haired woman around the age of twenty walked calmly along the street glancing at her left at the glimmering frozen lake, as she held herself closer, her black winter coat keeping the warmth of her body near her heart. The biting winter wind howled and moaned in her ears; through her plum colored earmuffs and black and white striped hat, tightly hugging her raven locks. With her dark amethyst eyes on the lake she failed to see her strawberry blonde friend sneak up in front of her and slap her face, smashing her pink cheeks together, and her red lips in a large pout.
"Haha Rukia-chan you look like a duck!"
"Stop it Rangiku!" blushing with a laugh the petite woman pushed the other woman's hands from her face, as they continued to walk down the street. Watching from the corner of her purple eyes Rukia saw her best friend walk tall and proud in her faded yellow winter jacket which didn't hide her large chest, her tight red jean pants over her high black boots, to say the least Matsumoto Rangiku was a beauty. As Rukia smiled, yes this tall, proud, most of the time loud, woman beside her might be the most beautiful person ever to cross Rukia's sight, but that didn't change the fact that they were best friends.
"Ne Rukia what happened to that guy Ichigo you were dating?" the large bosomed woman randomly asked out of no where watching the road to her right, as the cars raced by, and the tiny shops that aligned the sidewalk shining like a cluster of candy and toy shops from a Christmas story, one reads to their child every December.
"I broke up with him two months ago Rangiku"
"And Renji?"
"Two years ago"
"Shuuhei?"
"High school"
"And that Byakuya guy?"
"Long ago in junior high Rangiku! Why are you asking me about my love life, you should know all about them" the raven haired woman turned to her friend as the woman, frowned
"Because Rukia-chan you go through guys like their paper! Why can't you have one boyfriend and like him!" the usually bubbly woman wore a serious face, as she turned her gray eyes towards purple.
"Because none of them….well.." she had no answer. Why couldn't she like one man and stay with him?
"You see! I understand Byakuya because of the serious stoicness of his face! But Renji, Shuuhei and Ichigo were hot!" Rangiku held a dreamy look on her face as Rukia sighed
"They just weren't my type I guess…"
"Then what is your type? Hmm you're twenty young, beautiful, and single! Why not date again?"
"Because I refuse to go on blind dates! You know that! Now please lets stop talking about me" the raven haired woman turned her attention to the street before her, as her best friend sighed and walked in silence; giving her time to think.
Why didn't she got back into dating? Sure she did date many guys before, and each time she would tire of them soon after thus breaking up with them but wasn't that natural? Of course if she looked back on it, not one guy liked her for her…nor did she him. So why? They were always the ones to faun over her, lust for her and need her, never did she fall head over heels for one. Never did she feel…in love.
"Rukia"
Why couldn't she find that right guy?
"Rukia"
Was something wrong with her? Had she done something wrong to not find that right guy?
"Rukia"
What was that annoying sound?
"Rukia"
Damn it! There it is again!
"RUKIA! DAMN IT ANSWER ME!"
"Ah! R-Rangiku! Wha-what the hell?!" wide and alert amethyst eyes turned to smoky gray.
"We're here" looking at the store the strawberry blonde brought her to, she smiled
"Thanks I would have really lost my way here"
"No it's okay, but I'm sorry I got to go to work see you soon k?" patting the smaller woman's head like she were a child, Rangiku ran off before Rukia could yell back. Sighing the raven haired woman walked into her favorite shop, which she could never find in all the years of living there. Starbucks.
"I would like a tall peppermint mocha cappuccino please" Rukia ordered as the person nodded, she moved over to wait at the stand for her drink. Watching the people make the different types of drinks behind the glass window pane, allowing herself to relax as the warm aromas belonging only to Starbuck, wafted through her senses drowning her in soothing pleasure. Suddenly her name was called and without thinking she reached for the cup in front of her, only to meet with another pair of hands.
"Ah I-I'm sorry!" turning to the person quickly Rukia's breath was caught in her throat as the man smiled down at her. His emerald green eyes bright and gleaming,
"No I'm sorry, this was your not mine" taking up his cup that was now finished he was gone, leaving the bell on the door ringing in Rukia's ears.
That night Rukia couldn't get the man out of her head. His striking emerald green eyes, his stark pearl colored hair, his softly copper skin, everything about the man and more Rukia couldn't forget. Even for a moment as she looked at the man, his eyes caught with hers in that instate she remembered everything. The way his large plaid scarf hug around his neck touching the bottom of his chin, his black winter coat, white like snow pants even his dark purple all-star shoes, was burned into Rukia's mind.
"Damn it! What's wrong with me?" sighing the woman combed her slim fingers through her raven hair and looked at the cup on her table and then her hand, still able to feel the instant warmth she had experienced when their fingers touched, Rukia blushed.
"Ahh this is crazy! Why am I even thinking about that guy? It's not like I'll ever see him again!" and with that the woman walked into her bathroom and threw the man from her thoughts. Until the next day when she found herself at the same Starbucks, ordering the same drink, at the same time; in the same place. And so day by day Rukia waited, gradually growing to know the people who made her drinks, and befriending the regular customers but the man never came back. And before long Rukia didn't show up.
"I wonder where Rukia-chan is…" a woman sounded as her co-workers shook their heads
"Probably got tired of waiting for that man"
"Poor girl she's most likely at…" stopping in mid sentence at the ringing of the door bell came in a man with white peal hair, soft copper skin and striking green eyes, holding his plaid scarf close to his lips. And the group of workers knew instantly this was the man Rukia was waiting for.
"I would like a grande peppermint mocha cappuccino please" asked the man as the workers thought on their feet, nodding to each other without words as they silently planned to help their raven haired friend. Grabbing his drink and walking out the door with a thank you, the group could only hoped that their plan would work.
"Why did I even think he would come back…I'm such an idiot" Rukia scolded herself as she ran her gloved hand through her hair, taking off her hat in the process not knowing a sudden burst of cold wind blow the piece of clothing out of her hands and right at the feet of a stranger.
"Ah I'm sorry for that" Rukia apologized when the person bend over picking up the article from the frozen ground, only then did amethyst eyes see the familiar shoes she once saw before.
"You're the woman from Starbucks I saw a month ago aren't you?" the man asked in a voice that made Rukia's heart flutter like a little girl. Finally looking up into the man's eyes, emerald on amethyst Rukia blushed lightly.
"Yes, and you're the man I saw too" her voice soft and teasing, mentally beaming at the smile the man had on his face.
"I was told to come here"
"Really? By who?" looking confused at the man's sudden odd sentence he took a piece of paper out of his jacket pocket, handing it to her as her face flamed with a blush deep red. "Be at the park and find a familiar face"
"I-I didn't…"
"I know it was the people at Starbucks" a smirk on the man's face when a cool wind blew both their hair wildly against the four winds, making Rukia slightly shiver, when the man took Rukia's hat from her hands and placed it on her head.
"Better?"
"M-Much...thanks"
"No problem, my name is Hitsugaya Toushiro and you are?" holding out his hand as Rukia took it with a smile
"Kuchiki Rukia, please to meet yo-…!" suddenly a harsh wind blew from behind the woman pushing her off her feet and onto the man, brushing their lips together for a heartbeat of an instant. Wide emerald green stared into shocked amethyst as Rukia pulled back her face flushed brighter than ever in her life.
"I-I'm so sorry! I…" stopping in mid sentence as a smile and a light blush made there appearance on Toushiro's face
"Hmm not bad" the white haired man smirked as he took another kiss from Rukia's red cheek, "but you might want to ask first Rukia" winking he patted her head affectionately before turning on his heel. Leaving Rukia to watch his fading back, touching her lips softly and not being able to hold her smile back any longer, in the hopes that tomorrow would come so she could see Toushiro again, she thought with a blush
'He tastes like peppermint.'
Me- and there it is!! Hahahah it randomly came to me as I was telling my mom how amazing the winter holiday Starbucks drinks are!
And I'm glad I wrote this man! A part of winter during his burning summer does a person like me (who is obsessed with winter and cold) good!
Please read and review k?
