A/ N: Well, it's been a while. Heh. -sweat drops- I'm so sorry for this late update! I've gotten back into the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom and it just sucked me into writing fan fiction. So, it wasn't my fault. It's Avatar: The Last Airbender's fault. For being so awesome. :D

Chapter Ten: Hoodies

"Midget, you know it's gonna rain, right?"

"Strawberry, you know you're a dummy, right?"

Ichigo chuckled a bit before he slipped his hoodie on and followed Rukia out, closing the door behind him.

Rukia smiled to herself as she walked on the sidewalk, feeling the sun hit her. She sighed. 'What does he know? The weather's just fine.' Plus, she got to get fresh air and she could finally walk around. She was getting antsy.

...Wait, she was walking around... with Ichigo. The guy who everyone thought was her boyfriend...

Huh...

She sneakily looked from the corner of her eye to find Ichigo walking next to her with his large, black hoodie on. She crossed her arms and stuck her nose up into the sky while crossing her arms. "It's never going to rain, y'know."

Ichigo rolled his eyes at her before smirking at a small cloud in the sky. "Midget, you're wearing white, y'know." She brought her head back down from the sky to give him a look. "What?" He shrugged as his smirk grew. "You're wearing white booty shorts and it's gonna rain. I guess it'll be nice to see- OUCH!"

The orange-headed teen held his face in his hand, groaning a bit as he stood in one place. "Oi, Midget! What the hell?" Blushing, she grabbed a handful of his thick hair and dragged him down the sidewalk, getting looks from passersby. "Just keep walking, idiot!"

After a few minutes, she let go of his hair when they stopped in front of a library. She ran up the stairs and frowned when she found that it was closed. "Ichigo, you idiot! The library's closed!"

Sitting on the staircase that led up to the building, he didn't even bother to turn around and look to her. "Midget. It's not my fault you never wanna listen to anything I say."

"You didn't tell me it was going to be closed, stupid!" She rolled her eyes and sat on the very first step of the staircase.

"Kurosaki-kun! Kuchiki-san!" They heard Orihime yell from down the sidewalk with a wave and a grin. Ichigo gave her a small smile back before he stood up to walk over to her. "Midget, you coming?"

Rukia arched an eyebrow before shaking her head. "No, just tell her I said 'hey'." She said to him with a small smile. As he walked over to Orihime, her smile slowly faded and she sighed and frowned. She scoffed as she glared at a leaf. "Bitch."

Woah! Where the hell did that come from?

Rukia shook her head as she shut her eyes. No-no-no-no-no. No. She could not be jealous of Orihime. 'Even though she has long, pretty hair, is really bubbly, and smart. Plus, she's got the biggest pair of boobs I've ever seen on a girl her age...' She thought to herself before she lightly shook her head again. 'I shouldn't be thinking like this...'

She looked back down the sidewalk to find Ichigo grinning and speaking as Orihime held her stomach while laughing. Rukia sighed and frowned a bit. 'Of course I had to fall for him...' She sighed again when Ichigo ran back with a grin. "Hey." He greeted her before his eyebrows knitted together in concern. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." She said as she shook her head before she looked up at him with a small smile that quickly fell when a drop of rain suddenly fell on her nose. She groaned. "It's raining! That's what's wrong!" Rolling her eyes at his smirk, she looked at her feet before she looked back up at him and she cleared her throat. "Hey, do you like her?"

"Who? Orihime?" He asked calmly, a hint of a blush on his cheeks as he stuffed his hands in his pockets. When she nodded, he shrugged and brushed at the ground with the heel of his sneaker before he stepped onto a step. "Yeah, well, I mean, I used to." He walked up two more steps to stand on the step before hers. "But, not anymore."

She smiled a bit at him and nodded, squinting at him as the rain fell harder. "Cool."

He smirked and crouched down on the step to meet her eyes. "But, I do like someone else..."

Glaring at his smirk, she brought her knees up to her chest and rested her chin at the top of her knees. "Oh, really?" When he nodded, she nodded back with raised eyebrows and a small smile. "Who's the lucky lady?"

"Don't worry about it." He said with a grin as he slipped his hoodie off to rest it on her shoulders.

Offering him a short 'thank you', she let him fix the jacket on her as the rain fell harder and harder. "Who's the lucky lady?" She repeated to him with a smirk once he finished. He blushed even though he was smirking and he kept his hands on the jacket, looking her dead in the eyes. "You really want to know?" Accepting her nod, he slipped his hand into her soft, wet hair made wavy by the rain and he brought her head down a bit to plant a kiss on her forehead, to which she gasped and blushed.

He took his lips from her head and he rested his nose there with a blush and a small smile. "It's you, dummy."

End of Flashback

Sitting on the very first step of a staircase in front of a building, Rukia, clad in a large, black hoodie 5 times her size, grinned up at Ichigo. Crouching down on the second step in front of her, he gave her a soft smile as his wet hair fell, covering his eyes. Pulling the hood over her head with a hand, he kept his other hand on hers lying on his chest, his torso being outlined as his t-shirt clung to him. 'Finally! Eh, guys?' was the picture's name.

Grinning at Orihime's photo, Rukia didn't know how she wasn't squealing at the moment, because to her, it was certainly a squeal-worthy moment.
