100 Romantic Bleach Drabbles
Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, not to me.
Author's Note: Uwah. This one was another tough one to right. I find that if I don't know the characters well enough that it's hard to find inspiration to write about them. It's odd, because I think Shinji is just awesome haha. Though his grin does creep me out a little.... ^__^'
Dedicated to darklover and I be the princess, both of whom suggested this pairing.
Many thanks to my readers and reviewers CyberJello, PunkRockHolly, darklover, blackteaplease, Fading into the background, and Archaiclover! You guys are just too awesome!
38. The True You
"We're going to face Aizen. Are you scared?" Hirako Shinji asked as he came up behind Sarugaki Hiyori. He had been searching for the young blonde for an hour or so already.
"Stupid. Of course I'm not," she growled from where she was sitting. Shinji just rolled his eyes and sat down next to Hiyori.
"You're the stupid one," he said as he got comfortable. Hiyori turned to glare at him. "You think I don't know you better than that?"
"You don't know anything!" she snapped, turning away from Shinji. The tall blond let out an exasperated sigh. As much as he cared for Hiyori, she was always making it difficult for him to show her properly. Instead, he had to resort to petty name calling and making faces at her to even get her attention most days.
"You know, this could be the end Hiyori. This what you want your last memories of me to be like?" Shinji said nonchalantly, watching Hiyori for her reaction. The smaller blonde just tensed but continued to look anywhere but at Shinji.
"You really think we could die?" she asked quietly, her voice trembling slightly.
"It's possible," Shinji confirmed.
"Don't you dare tell anyone I'm scared!" she snapped suddenly, turning to glare at Shinji once more. Shinji just grinned at Hiyori, making no effort to agree. "I'm warnin' you! I'll kick your ass if you do!"
Shinji just chuckled and dropped an arm around Hiyori's shoulders. "Your secret's safe."
Hiyori ducked her head and grumbled but made no effort to remove Shinji's arm. After a long silence, she looked back up at Shinji. "How'd you know?"
"Because I know the true you, stupid."
"Way to ruin the moment."
"You know you love me."
"Whatever."
Shinji just smiled and kept quiet while Hiyori leaned closer to him.
