A/N:
So, this was sort of inspired by that split-second frame with
Chad and Ishida that was in the new ep 39 ending… they were so
on a date.
Ishida was reading, so by all laws of nature, Sado figured it should have been a relatively quiet day between them. Except it was Ishida, so very naturally, it wasn't.
"Well that's clearly impossible," the Quincy scoffed, looking disdainfully at the book in his lap before adjusting his glasses and looking up at Chad from the bench he was sitting on. "Did you get to this part yet?" He held out the book.
Chad cocked his head to the side and read the page number. "Not yet."
"Well, let me just say, it's clearly…"
"Impossible?"
"Exactly. I mean, of course us being us, we've seen impossible things happen, but this is so impossible that I think even people like us would have trouble trying to imagine it as a possibility yet the book just keeps going on and on and on and on like it's an everyday occurrence and the author must assume that if he or she is vague enough about it all the audience won't think about it anymore and figure out that it's clearly impossible. I suppose he or she wasn't counting on people like us ever picking up this book and giving it a look though because then he or she wouldn't have included something so glaringly impossible. And now that I think about it, I suppose it's our own fault for even thinking of picking up something like this and having any sort of positive expectation regarding it being realistic, don't you think, Sado?"
"…yes."
Happy to have his companion agree with him so readily, Ishida smiled back and resumed reading anyway, as it was a weekend and the weather was nice and he believed that it was good sometimes, to just sit outside in the sun on a quiet weekend with someone else and share something like a book, even if there was something in that book that was clearly impossible.
And this was how they spent the afternoon, Sado concentrating on what was nice and allowing Ishida to concentrate on what was impossible. Letting what would otherwise be a quiet day spent by Ishida's side become one full of the other boy's excited chatter, Sado smiled quietly to himself and listened to every word because he didn't think that the Quincy's voice was not-nice sounding. It was something that he felt was nice, and thus, okay to concentrate on.
So, as long as Ishida didn't mind Chad's quietness as he thought about nice things, Chad wouldn't mind his talkativeness as the Quincy explained impossible ones, first because it was unlikely that he could shut the smaller boy up even if he wanted to, and second because Chad didn't think it was bad at all to listen to him. In fact, it was kind of nice, out here on a sunny weekend with nothing to do but spend some time together and share something like a book full of impossibilities.
END
