Ichigo's POV

Ouch...shit! My head really hurts.

That's the first thing my mind registers when I open my eyes. Then, I feel like beating myself up. That was the dumbest move I've made in all of my rugby career! Did I really trip over someone? Seriously, if I hadn't ended up knocking myself out, I'm sure I'd lose my respect as the team's captain! The next thing that I realize is that I'm in a freaking hospital. Who in their right mind would send me to a hospital? Well, I don't know, Ichigo! Maybe it's because you fell and bumped your head an idiot! I slapped my forehead and winced. Damn this headache.

"Ichigo?" a voice called out from beside me.

From how low it was, I almost thought it was Yuzu. When I looked up, however, I saw Uryu. What was he doing here?

"Hey, Uryu," I say, smiling up at him. "What are you doing here?"

He scowled at me. "You're in a hospital bed, damn it! Why wouldn't I be here?"

"Heh, you're right. My bad, I guess."

We sat in silence for a bit. It was mostly because I was trying to blush like a little schoolgirl. I'm happy that he came to see me, so happy. In fact, I'm glad he's the first person I saw when I woke up. That means… he cares about me. You'd think he'd feel a little awkward towards me because of what happened on our date. But nope! He still cares.
"So, uh," Uryu coughed. "Your father took your sisters down to the gift shop a few minutes ago,"

"Oh, did you call them?"

He shook his head.

"They were in the audience and offered me a ride here. I called Ryuken first, but he's working today,"

"That's cool. At least you got to spend time with your future father-in-law," I joked.

Uryu growled. "The whole time, your father was whining like 'Oh, my poor boy! What if he dies!' and 'His life insurance won't be enough to'-"

He froze and stared at me with wide eyes. "Did you just say… 'Father-in-law'?"

I couldn't help but laugh at that. "I was kidding, dude! Calm down-"

"No! I'm visualizing it now. If we get married one day, I won't have anything to worry about. You, however, will be in eternal hell," A playful grin spread across his face.

My eyebrow arched. "Why?"

"Have you met Ryuken?"

"Yeah, I guess you're right about that," I chuckled.

What happened next came and left a little too quickly for my liking. I felt a pair of soft lips press up against mine and then retreated with a bright smile. Uryu was blushing brighter than I was after that. "Eh? What was that for?"

He sputtered incoherently and the only thing I understood was "I…. well….if….not…sorry""Uryu," I say, interrupting him. "It's alright. I enjoyed that," What little of a kiss it was, I kindly left out.

"We could do it again… if you'd be my boyfriend,"

His eyes lit up instantly.

"What… you mean like, officially?"

Uryu's POV

"What… you mean like, officially?" I asked, knowing too well that I look like a blushing buffoon. Seriously though, wouldn't you go into a ball of awkward mess if Ichigo Kurosaki asked you to be his boyfriend? I believe I have the right to be internally freaking out right now! And about what happened a few minutes earlier… that kiss… God, I thought I was going to die. It wasn't my fault! He was just sitting there that bed looking so… kissable! I reacted on instinct! Well, it's not like he minded anyway.

"Yeah, officially," he nodded, straining to put up air quotes. I can already hear the excited squeals coming from Chizuru and Rukia (ok, maybe not Rukia, but definitely Chizuru). I bet they'd kill me if I said no. No, even worse, I bet Szayel would sense the "nnn" sound and come to me with speed that would make Flash jealous just to kick my ass. Yeah, if that wasn't motivation enough, then the possibility of Ichigo coming out to his rugby team is. I mean, Ichigo's their captain. He can do a whole lot more damage than Keigo can!

"O-ok," I finally answer. "I'd like that."
Ichigo smiles up at me again and this time I swore I heard angels singing above me. I lean down, ready to give him another kiss, and the door just had to swing open.

"ICHIGO MY DEAR BOY!? ARE YOU AWAKE NOW?!" Isshin screamed, causing me to jump backwards. Yuzu and Karin just laughed at us from behind the big man. "Oh! Uryu's here, too! Don't you look adorable today, son!" he commented.

I sighed. "Thanks, I guess,"

Yeah, thanks for the cock-block.

A/N: It's been another long while! School's starting back up for me. Unlike most people, school is actually where I get most of my ideas for writing! Let's hope I can finish in five more chapters :D :D
