So this is a thing. I don't know what exactly though. A random bit that has no real part in this story. Just cause I suddenly felt like it and I have a habit of making you all wait. That must be annoying :D! Well crap. TAKE THIS! -pushes into your arms and runs away-
I do not own Bleach or it's characters.
"Darn it!" Orihime cried out in aggravation. The twins snickered as they sat on the couch, doing the same thing Orihime was. Playing flappy bird. (I'm sure you guys know what it is right? If not, it is the most rage-inducing game on earth)
Ulquiorra walked in on Orihime's angry wails and grew curious as to what could make Orihime cry in anger. "What are you three doing?" He eyed the three girls sitting on the couch staring intensely at their phones as they tap repetitively.
"Ugh!" Orihime pouted as her bird hit the pipe and fell down. She quickly turned to Ulquiorra, shoving her phone into his face. "Ulqui! Please beat this for me!" She pleaded.
An eyebrow rose as he looked at the colorful screen. "Flappy...bird?" Orihime nodded with an angry pout, making her as cute as ever. "You just tap the screen to make him fly inbetween the pipes." Orihime stood next to him to demonstrate. She tapped 'start' and tapped the screen as told. She continued tapping until they reached the first pipe and she made it through successfully until the next pipe. She flew too high and the bird hit the top pipe, causing it to fall. "I just can't make it through the beginning for some reason!" She sighed.
Ulquiorra's eyes flickered between Orihime and her phone for a minute or two until he pushed her phone away. "I do not see the point in playing this game."
The twins rolled their eyes and smirked. "Is it because you won't be able to make it far as well?" Ryoko cooed. Tsukiko flashed her screen at him with a smug grin. "I got a score of 200, can you even come close to 10?" Orihime gasped and looked at Tsukiko with stern eyes. "200?! H-how? You have to teach me!" Orihime marveled.
"Of course! Since Ulqui-Nii won't be able to." Tsukiko and Ryoko discretely high-fived, knowing they had Ulquiorra locked in. Ulquiorra scowled, taking the phone from Orihime's hands. "This game seems too simple." He bluntly commented, pressing the 'start' button.
He tapped the screen as the bird reached the first pair of pipes and he died instantly. The girls smirked as they heard the sound effect and Ulquiorra quickly pressed the start button. "That was ridiculous, it should have made it through.." He muttered under his breath, glaring at the bird.
He tried again, this time making it until the 6th pipe. His brows were now slightly furrowed as he clicked the start button once more. Ulquiorra took a place on the couch and the girls watched him in amusement as he experience pure rage.
~Time Skip~
"Hey girls, um, Ulqui sort of took my phone hostage for a week now." Orihime conversed with the twins as they sat in the kitchen, watching Ulquiorra play flappy bird from the couch. They laughed and shook it off. "I'm surprised he played it for so long. Don't worry, you'll get your phone back soon." Ryoko spoke, shoving a spoon of ice cream in her mouth.
Just then, Ulquiorra came in and handed Orihime back her phone. She stared at the flappy bird game screen and shrieked in surprise. "500?!" Ryoko choked on her ice cream and Tsukiko shook her head. Ulquiorra turned to walk to his room but ended up passing out on the kitchen floor. Orihime panicked and placed her phone down, grabbing Ulquiorra before he made contact with the tile floor. The twins looked at their brother in disdain.
(If you haven't seen Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan yet but are planning to, may or may not want to read this, not much of a spoiler but still just a warning.)
Orihime shoved her face into her pillow to muffle her cries as Shingeki no Kyojin played on her laptop. Passing her door to get to his room, Ulquiorra's keen ears picked up on her cries and his eyes narrowed. Curious and worried, he opened her door, letting himself in. "Why are you crying woman?" He strode up to her. She shook her head and pointed to her laptop.
His eyes followed the direction of her finger and he found himself watching a woman in her mid-years being held by a smiling giant. The giant opened it's creepy, large mouth and bit down, a dark crimson liquid splattering everywhere and the screen switched to a young boy staring with wide eyes, as if traumatized forever.
Ulquiorra turned to Orihime with unimpressed eyes. "Why are you watching something like this?" It was already too gory for her to try to watch. "Well I h-heard it was r-really g-good so I w-wanted to try it," she stuttered, sniffling uncontrollably. The way she appeared frightened and sorrowful left him feeling conflicted. He couldn't leave her alone. He sighed and shuffled his way next to her on her bed. She stared dumbfounded for a second but smiled right after.
She scooted over and when he settled in, she clutched her pillow closer to her and leaned against him, finding comfort in his presence as they watched the feelsy and gory anime together. He didn't know what exactly to concentrate on, her sweet scent that wafted onto him or the gory scenery playing on the screen, something he wasn't exactly planning on watching in the first place. Both were very distracting, but he would sit through it if Orihime wanted him to. He didn't have anything to do anyways.
Ulquiorra stared at the cookies decorated with red and pink. His eyes flickered up to meet shimmering brown orbs. "What is this?"
"Cookies, silly!" Orihime held the heart shaped cookies towards him, offering it.
"I wanted to bake these really bad but I realized afterwards I didn't have anyone to give it to so I thought, "I can eat these myself!" but then I also realized that I made too many to eat myself and I would get fat and and possibly explode so I thought I should give these out to everyone but I remembered how everyone always rejects my cooking so I was left with no options but I followed the instructions like Ryoko and Tsukiko told me to so it shouldn't be anything out of the ordinar-" Her long explanation was cut off when Ulquiorra took a cookie and bit into it, careful not to make a mess.
The girl watched in anticipation as his pale jaw visibly moved. Orihime subconciously bit her bottom lip, her eyes watching his reaction intensely.
His eyelids fell as he swallowed the baked sweet. You'd think he didn't have a sweet tooth but he enjoyed sweets very much. Not that he'd admit it.
"It is quite decent." He watched in slight amusement as she squealed and jumped around.
"Really? I'm so glad to hear that! I personally thought they were a bit plain and could use some pepper but the girls strictly instructed to follow the recipe. It must've turned out great if you liked it!" Flashing a grin, she turned back to her decorating station and continued with the icing. Ulquiorra stood against the counter, watching her work so diligently.
Orihime wiped her face with the back of her hand, smearing some icing onto her cheek. She failed to notice the sugary sweetness smudged on her face and Ulquiorra stared at it for a while, wondering when she would take mind to it.
When it was obvious that she wasn't aware, he pushed himself off the counter, walking towards her. "Woman," He earned her attention. "Hmm?" The second she turned to face him, a thumb swept across her cheek, carressing it lightly.
"You have icing on your face." When he successfully wiped it off with his thumb, he licked it clean, leaving the kitchen afterwards.
She knew he had a sweet tooth but Orihime couldn't help but feel...different. She stood frozen on the spot for a good minute or two and her thoughts were distracted with a certain Schiffer.
Well that was that! What was that? I don't know, don't ask me. I've heard that Flappy Bird was taken down from the stores so if you can't find it, that's probably why. I hope this provided some kind of entertainment. Any. And yes, the last one is for Valentine's Day! Hehe c: Oh I wish I had someone to spend it with..
