A/N: Chapter three is up... hehe, last chapter was simply dumb... I know. But the one review it recieved cracked me up.
I own nothing except the lame attemps of humor and the wonky story idea... yeah.

Chapter 3…Ichigo's face

Abarai Renji had always liked to observe things around him. It wasn't always things, sometimes it was people, or things about people. One of the things he'd observed since he came to the human world was Ichigo's face. Ichigo always had his eyebrows knitted together, giving him a pretty frightening look. When Renji thought back on it, he realized that he'd never once seen Ichigo smile…. At least not one of those happy smiles, because, well… his eyebrows were always knitted together, so it looked more like a smirk than a smile. And frankly, seeing the frowning boy smile at all was a bit freaky.

Renji had also noticed that Ichigo never had any other expression than that frown, not even if they were all sitting bored waiting for the next class to commence. Even if they were fighting hollows or if he seemed hungry, it was always that same frown. Frown, frown, and frown.

He had asked Rukia about it once; she had thought about and said that even when even when surviving from injuries or near death experiences, which he should have been thankful for surviving, the frown hadn't left his face.

When Renji had fought Ichigo one on one, both before returning Rukia to soul society and then inside of soul society, he had still had that frown on his face, almost as it had been carved into it like a piece of art in a block of marble.

Renji had also noted that Ichigo's brown eyes were one of a kind. They held determination at anytime, even if he didn't seem especially determinate. The only time Renji had ever seen that sparkle of determination fade was when he was lying on the ground in the rain, watching as Renji himself along with Kuchiki Byakuya had taken Rukia away, taken her back to soul society. It had only been for a second, it was as if he had given up, only to get determined to get her back, at once. And somehow, that sudden lack of determination sparkle in his eyes made the boy seem so very much more young, frail and scared.

He'd also asked Urahara-san about it, and even he'd said that he'd never even once seen Ichigo without the frown on his face, only with a smaller frown. Apparently, Ichigo even had the frown when sleeping after being injured, the rest of the residents at the Urahara shop could support that, and heck… Rukia could support the fact that he had a small frown on his face when sleeping uninjured (and she did). This was a very surprising and a little disturbing fact to find out, that mean that Ichigo never ever looked completely peaceful.

Renji would've gotten bored with frowning all the time, why hadn't Ichigo? It wasn't like it was any fun to go around with knitted eyebrows and a glare. Frankly, if he knitted his eyebrows for too long then he got a headache… maybe that's why Ichigo always were so grumpy… he had a headache.

Renji couldn't even remember how many times he'd been tempted to punch Ichigo's lights out because of that sullen and sour expression he always wore. With hair that bright one would've thought that the personality of the owner could have been at least a little bit brighter and happier… and not quite so angry.

At times, Renji had to admit that Ichigo's face had scared the shit out of him, especially when he gave of an aura of murder or bloodlust. Then his face was simply freaky and terrifying to say the least. Even Zaraki Kenpachi could be impressed when the scariness of it all was at its worst.

As his final thought, Renji hated Ichigo's frown. And he simply wanted to punch the other in the face because of it. He almost had an urge to start a quest to make Ichigo smile, but for now… he's simply suffice with the urge to punch him.

Owari

A/N:Yeah... maybe not as I would have wanted it to turn out (again...) but this'll do for now. There will probably be a whole lot more chapters because my brain keeps thinking of new stupid things for Renji to observe and think about... and one of 'em makes me wanna illustrate it... yay?
