No warnings. Just "fluff" I guess. Second piece of the puzzle.
Miss Me
When she looked through the window, it felt like she was there for the first time. Crouching low over the edge, she surveyed the room. To her relief, it felt familiar. The first time, she remembered she hadn't seen it as a room at all, just the place she was going through to get to a Hollow. And now, she found that she was visiting again, without her costume and without her vigilant eyes.
She blinked and before she knew it, she found herself pushed against the wall. It was hard to breathe. A forearm pressed into her throat. But her eyes grew soft when she heard his voice.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
Rough as always and this, too, reminded her of the first time. Except he had kicked her to the ground then…
"I-Ichigo."
However choked her voice had been, he had recognized it instantly. He let her go.
"Rukia?" Brown eyes widened in surprise, she took the moment to look him over. He had been sleeping in shorts. He had never done that while she had been around…
"What are you doing here?" His question brought her back from her ponderings.
She thought about it. She was here because…because she had to know something. She wondered about it all the time…
"I want to know…" She stopped. And willed herself to say it. "I want to know…"
"Miss me?"
It caught her off guard.
And then she realized.
He thought about her too.
After the next one, I'll probably start needing ideas. So again, I remind people out there...requests? Bring em' on!
