Ichigo's conversation with the others went about as well as expected.
They hadn't asked for much detail since they knew how much his suspiscions were tearing him up inside. Something that he was eternally thankful for when he dropped the second bomb on them and told them that he needed them to help him keep Honey safe from her family, that he couldn't leave her alone at home or school because someone might try to drag her off and then he may never see her again.
Orihime told him that she could watch over Honey after school if he wanted. She even told him that she could start right away since he had explained that he was planning to get a job.
Ichigo gave her a warm smile as Chad told him that he could start walking the two of them to school in the mornings so that Ichigo would have an extra set of eyes to help watch for trouble and Ishida said that he could act as Honey's bodyguard or something whenever she needed to go out shopping.
The four talked about things a little more and agreed that Ichigo needed to get Honey a cell phone and fix it so that their numbers were on speed dial just in case. Ichigo couldn't have agreed more since Honey would need a way to call them if she ever got caught alone.
Shortly after that the bell rang and they went back to class where Honey was already sitting at her desk, anxiously watching the door for her husband.
Orihime made a sly comment to Ichigo about how cute his wife was when she was anxious and Ichigo flushed to the roots of his hair and hid his face as he made his way to his desk and then hid himself away behind a book and waited for the day to end while Orihime laughed and took her seat.
School let out at about four fifteen.
At which time Ichigo stuffed everything into his desk then stood up and stretched his hands over his head and rolled his shoulders to work out the kinks in his back and neck then looked over at Honey's desk to see if she was ready to go and snorted when he saw that she was asleep again.
He walked over to her desk and dropped down to one knee next to her and brushed her dark hair back from her face, causing her to stir a little bit and crack open an eye. "Hey, it's time to wake up honey. School's over for the weekend."
She groaned and pushed herself up a little bit and rubbed her eyes with her hands and then looked around the room noting that it was nearly empty then looked at Ichigo and blushed as he smiled at her and stood up and waited as she put her book, her penciles and pens, and papers away before standing up and grabbing her book bag.
"Which books do I need to take home?" Honey asked tiredly, referring to the few subjects that she had missed due to her napping.
"Don't worry about it, I'm bringing my books home so you can use them-" Ichigo said as he grasped her small hand in his and subconsciously laced their fingers together, wanting to hold onto her for a little while since he would be apart from her for a few hours today while he went job hunting.
Honey looked down at their hands and blinked as her face heated up and she squeezed his hand slightly out of reflex and made an 'eep' sound when he turned his head to look at her over his shoulder as they walked out of the classroom, and down the hall to the stairs, and took them one at a time until they reached the bottom.
Once there Ichigo tossed his book bag down on the floor and turned to her and backed her against the wall and held her there so that he could steal a few more minutes alone with her.
"I-Ichigo?" Honey stammered as he leaned his head down and instead of kissing her mouth like she thought he was going too, he totally bypassed her mouth and buried his face against the hollow of her throat and breathed on her. Causing her to squeak and grip his shirt as she squirmed.
"Stay still." Ichigo said against her throat in an amused tone as he supressed the need to laugh. His wife was the most sensitive, jumpiest, squimiest person he'd ever met before in his life. And as vexing as it was when she squirmed against him like that, he also found it absolutely adorable.
It made him want to pin her down somewhere and breathe on her neck until she begged him to stop. He smiled at the thought and rubbed his face against her skin, breathing in her scent and wishing that he could stay like this for just a little bit longer.
"Ichigo what are you doing?" Honey asked in a slightly breathless tone as a shiver ran down her spine.
Ichigo stopped moving his head and slipped an arm around her as he moved his body closer and lifted his head and kissed the curve of her jaw, her cheek, then skimmed his lips along the corner of her mouth before fastening his mouth to hers and giving her a deep, toe curling kiss that left her feeling breathless and dizzy by the time he pulled away.
He ran one of his fingers along her bottom lip, wiping away some of his siliva as she tried to catch her breath. "Sorry but I couldn't leave you without a decent kiss-" Honey blinked at him.
"Leave?" She asked in a worried tone. Ichigo made a humming sound and kissed her forehead then let her go and stepped away.
"I'm going to go look for a job so that I can take care of you. Which means that you'll be going home with Orihime today. I want you two to have a nice visit while I'm out and try not to worry about anything. I'll come home a little late, but I will be there okay." Ichigo said as he bent down and picked up his back pack.
Honey took several shakey breaths then pushed away from the wall and started walking again. She didn't bother responding to Ichigo's words, she knew he'd come home once he had too. So she wasn't terribly worried.
