Not expected
This wasn't expected. This is what Ulquiorra thought when the Woman hugged him so thight he could barely breathe, when he entered her room.
,,Thank you so much for the food, Ulqui-kun! It was really tasty!''
,,There's no need for such enthusiasm, Woman.''
,,Of course there is, Ulqui-kun, you never eve change the tone of your voice!'' Orihime pouted.
,,Might be.''
The girl started walking around the room, daydreaming.
,,I wonder how you sound when you laugh!'' she scratched her head aching for trying to imagine something so improbable.
,,I never did.'' Inoue's eyes widened.
,,Wooow, amazing! You're not telling me you never-ever...''
,,No, I didn't.''
,,But never-ever-ever-ever...''
,,I never once laughed or smiled in my whole life as a hollow.''
,,What about your life as a human?''
The Quarta closed his eyes.
,,I can't remember anything from my human life.'' The girl's eyes suddenly filled with tears running down her blushing cheeks.
,,Did I say something wrong?'' Ulquiorra sounded almost concerned, but he didn't care. His duty was to keep this girl's moral up, and if she was weeping, he was responsible.
,,No... You just... It's so sad! Your human life must have been really painful, so much that you're still can't smile even as an arrancar... And, on top of it, you don't remember it at all! It's just... just...'' the redhead couldn't find the right word before starting to cry again.
,,I'm the worst. I'm here to keep you company and I'm mentally harassing you...'' the fourth Espada said guilty.
,,It's... it's okay, Ulqui-kun! I'm not mad at you! I feel sorry for you!'' Orihime made a small smile wiping her tears off.
,,Nonsense, you can't. You're unable to feel sorry for a hollow. It's impossible. It's just wrong.'' unfortunately, Ulquiorra's logic was again ruining the whole situation.
,,Why are you saying that? I know if I feel sorry or not, duh! Don't pretend to know everything about feelings; I'm aware of what I feel towards who and you don't have to tell me wether I can or not!'' the girl jumped up from the couch where she was sitting before, apparently pissed.
Ulquiorra just stood there and sighed.
Humans. So hard to figure out.
