Perfect To Me Chapter 1: Breeze, a bleach fanfic

The teenager's room is bathed with orangey light from the sunset, shining through his double window with breeze swaying the curtains. The room is tidy for a male teen, a double bed, a set of desk and a wardrobe. Simple like the one who lives in it. The said owner of the room is laying down on the bed sideways, huging a fluffy white bolster.

One Direction's Little things is playing as a background sound from the new speaker he got on his birthday. The song, the atmosphere and the warm air are the perfect side dishes for his already mellow heart. He'd been told a lot of times both by his family and friends that he is as ignorant as a statue. He never thought too much in to it. Until.

A few months back, just a month after the shinigamis group came to the world of the living for missions that he realized something. For the first time, him, the notorious Kurosaki Ichigo, has a crush. It was confusing for him at first. Whenever he saw his crush, he found himself stealing glances every few minutes. He got embarrassed if he and his crush accidently stare to one another in the eyes. He did stupid things evey time he heard his crush voice, playing with his pants or biting his lips and threw his face in another direction. He got excited and wide awake when his friends said that his crush would be there.

It is ridiculous for him. He feels like a female highschoolers. Well, he is a highschooler but a male. The teenager sighs, he change position from laying on his left to his right, where he can stare at the beautiful sky. The song ended as the next one played, now he is jamming to One Direction's I Wish. His heart gets mellower as he sing. He does not know if his crush has someone special or not, but from the way he acted, the teen bet--hope-- that his crush is single.

He close his eyes, enjoying his self torture by thinking the unnecessary things that might make his mood gloomier than ever. The thing is, the crush had lasted for another three months before he realized that that crush had developed to the next level. Love.

When did he realized it? How? Quite simple actually. He just got back from lunch on the rooftop, sitting at his spot near the window when he heard a baritone voice from beside him. He took a glance and was shock to see two of his classmates hugging. There are no rules for relationship nor PDA in his school as long as its appropriate but he never saw those things before. He blinked away his shock only to get surprised again. The baritoned voice guy was kissing the girl he hug and smiled after. What caught the teen off guard was the look on the guy's face.

The adoration, the sparkles, the love that radiated was as clear as glass. He glanced back outside in thought. He had caught himself looking like that while staring at his crush on his window's reflection sometimes. Did that mean he is in love? What made him sure that he is truly in love was that he longed for what the couples have. He wants that with his crush.

I've never gone with the wind, just let it flow

Let it take me where it wants

'Til you opened the door, there's so much more

I've never seen it before

I was trying to fly but I couldn't find wings

But you came along and you changed everything

You lift my feet off the ground

You spin me around

You make me crazier crazier

Feels like I'm falling and I'm lost in your eyes

You make me crazier crazier crazier...

His heart beats as he replaying the moments he had with his crush, Taylor Swift's Crazier playing as his backsound. Oh god, he is such a teenage girl in love. Groaning, he sits up, rubbing his eyes to shakes off the sleepiness. It is too early to sleep and he is too hungry to sleep anyway. He stands up, laziness spreading to even his feet as he trots to his wardrobe to take pajamas for the night.

He went down after he changes his clothes to grab some snacks and goes back to his room. He was about to sit down on his chair, planning on changing his love playlist to his sing a long one when he got knocked down with brute force. The teenage gets sent back, hitting his head on the base of his wardrobe as the effect.

"Oh fuck that hurt!"

"Ichigo, why are you listening girl's songs? Isn't this Taylor Swift? You said that you hate her!" his attacker rants to his ear, checking out his playlist while doing so. Snatching the nearest object to him, which is his slipper, he throws it to the intruder, hitting right in the middle of the forehead.

"Aw! That hurts you asshole!"

"That's my line you jerk! Why did you do that anyway? Ever heard of a door, huh? You stupid bafoon." he whispers the last sentence.

"Bafoon?! You strawberry should just shut your pretty little mouth! It's easier to enter from your window and I don't need gigai for that."

The teen can feel his eye twicting at the antics his so called friend doing. Not wanting to prolong the matter, he takes back his phone from his friend's hand, ignoring the loud hey by slapping his friend's head, he sit down on his bed and open the lays he meant to eat. He take some and then offers it to his friend, whom grinning in gratitute.

"What'cha doin' here Renji? I thought you're supposed to report back to Byakuya today?" Ichigo asks the red hair, clicking on Macklemore's Thrift Shop.

"And I did. Taicho sent me back because there was a hell butterfly from Hitsugaya taicho asking for group meeting tonight. Said something about new arrancar activity."

Thump

"Really? I didn't sense anyhing..."

"Well that's because you're too busy being a love sick teenager!" the older accussed him.

"W-what! I certainly NOT!" blushing furiously, Ichigo throw a pillow to his friend, who ducks in time before the thing hits him. Renji laugh loudly, Ichigo's reaction is exactly what he needs to continue pestering the teen.

"Ho ho! You are, aren'tcha strawberry? Don't try to deny it carrot top, your playlist proved you otherwise!" reaching out for another handful of chips, Renji's grins could put the cat from Alice in Wonderland to shame.

"S-so what if I listen to those songs huh?! That doesn't mean I'm in love at all! Your theory is lack of analysis and REAL proof!" the orange head slap the reaching hand of his friend from his snacks but failed as the culprit manage to get away with a handful.

"Awh c'mon Ichigo! You're no fun! Now tell me who's your crush is." Ichigo choose to die then let anyone know about his crush. Even if his crush is just normal people and a girl, he still won't say anything to anyone, Let alone his real crush. He'd be damned.

"RENJI! I told you--"

"What's going on here?"

As if in slow motion, without needing to turn around, Ichigo already know who is the voice belongs to. No one has that deep, smooth, icy voice other than his crush. He wants to hide but with his current topic with Renji, it will be too obvious who is his crush is. Thank the gods above that he has been blushing since the talk start so he doesn't have to cover it.

"Hitsugaya taicho!" / "Toshiro!"

The said person slides down from the window, careful and landing elegantly. The man is short with tan skin and white silvery hair, wearing black fit t-shirt, black skinny jeans and white top converse. Ichigo gulps at the sight. Why must he wear something like that to here? Can't he just wear his sleep wear or a dirty rag? Scratch that. Ichigo can not resists him even though his crush wear a nun's dress. He's so handsome... Oh god help me...

"It's Hitsugaya taicho kurosaki! Anyway, where are the others Abarai fukutaicho? I thought I made it clear to have the meeting started at six no?" the teal eyes staring at Renji makes the sixth division fukutaicho pouring cold sweat. He might or might not forgot to tell the others about the meeting.

"I'm so sorry, taicho! I forgot to tell the others about the meeting! I'll go get them now!" with that Renji bow and shunpo-ed to gather the others.

An awkward silence fills the before noisy room. Ichigo sits straighter and goes self- concious instantly. Of all days, why did he chose to wear tight black boxer and oversized pink shirt Yuzu got him today? He wants to drown. Coughing, after what seems like a whole minute, when in fact its only been fifteen seconds, Ichigo offers the prodigy captain his chair. Thanking the teen, the man take the seat.

"What were you and Abarai talking about? You screamed so loud." Ichigo knows that Toshiro only said that to break the silence and nothing more. It is because he the one who asked that it is become a problem to him.

Thump

"O-oh that... Nothing... Renji just being a jerk because I listen to some music."

"Hmm... One direction, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus you mean?"

If he was in a comic alternate universe or something, Ichigo is sure he can see himself breaking in two with face painted purple black. How can he be so stupid! he connected his phone to his laptop, which now is opens with spotify on its screen. Nice.

Groaning in embarrassment, Ichigo reaches for his other pillow and cover his face with it. So much for keeping cool in front of his crush. He knows Toshiro did not intended to snooping into his things with the laptop opens like that. But still...

"Y-you know them? The singers I mean..."

"Yeah, Orihime keeps playing them almost every night. She sang them with Matsumoto and Ayasegawa." the cold captain answers. Ichigo takes a peek and sees the captain sitting facing the window, boring expression and a furrow marring his face. The golden hour reflected on his face makes him handsomer than before. He's such a goner.

"Wait. You live with them? Then, why didn't you come here together?"

"Because I didn't." seeing the confused look on the orange hair, the man elaborate more. "Live with them."

"Eh? But I thought you said--then how did you know about that?" Ichigo's eyes unconsciously trails downwards where the man's left arm perched on the chair's arm rest. He eyes the veins and the protuding muscles gained from years of practice and hardwork. Flexing as the owner changes position. Gulp.

The teen quickly shifts his eyes back to the man's face, however, his breath got stuck in his throat as the man also shifts his eyes and their gazes meet.

Thump

"I used to live there for the first two weeks. But they were too noisy for me, so I moved to Urahara's." It was a typical answer yet Ichigo feels his inside melt from the attention those teal eyes gave him. The current song also doesn't help his already troubled week and in love heart. Fucking Ariana and her Tattooed Heart.

"I see..." I see?! I see?! What kind of answer is that?! Fucking stupid!

For a brief moment, Ichigo thought he saw amusement shone in those alluring eyes of his crush but gone as fast as it came because the man turns his head back and sit straighter to face the window. His relaxed expression is replaced with seriousness and ichigo would be lying if he said he doesn't miss it. In the next seconds, his room is filled with other five people. That makes his pink fluffy mind back to normal as he can feel his vein throbbing.

"Why do you guys always, ALWAYS picked my room to held a meeting when you guys KNOW how small it is!"

"Good evening taicho!" the busty woman, Rangiku greets her captain with a hug. Ichigo's mood has gone infinity negative from the neutral zero.

"Matsumoto! Ge off of me damnit!" the woman got pushed and landed on Ikakku's lap, who is sitting cross legged on the floor beside Toshiro. Rangiku doesn't complaint, though she is poutting hard. Ikakku on the other hand has gone red in the face and is pushing with zero intention to actually remove the woman, Yumichika pities him so he relents and gives his friend a hand.

"Stop lying Ichigo, we know you love us! If you really hate it you would've kicked us out the second time we met here." a certain raven haired woman answered his question.

"Shut up midget! If you push it you'll find yourself on the road the next second." everyone knows that it is an empty threat and there is no way the too kind strawberry will do that to anyone. Ichigo glares as Rukia sticking out her tongue to him.

"Oi Rukia! Do you know that Ichigo here has a Cr--" in a flash the red haired man was flung out of the window.

"SHUT UP PINEAPPLE HEAD!" Ichigo ignores the stunned expression the others give him. Fuck his life if Renji manage to tell Rukia he has a crush IN FRONT of everyone and HIS CRUSH. He rather kill his beloved best friend than that. Plopping down on his bed, he covers half of his body with his blanket, saying that it is cold even though its 27 degrees outside. This is going to be a long long night.
