Author's note: Ok, I basically got the message that all of you want Momo to tell Hitsugaya the truth. Then, some of you want them to rob the bank together. Well, you'll just have to read on to find out what happens. Anyway, without any further pointlessness of this author's note, let's get on with the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any of its characters.

SPOILER ALERT: Did anyone read the manga??? Hinamori finally got in and she kicked ass!!! I knew she'd get back in eventually!!
Chapter 4: Loving Comfort
"Tell you the truth?" Now was the opportune moment to tell Hitsugaya everything. The truth. Would it be the right choice to dump all of this on Hitsugaya?
"Hitsugaya-kun…" Her breath was shallow, and she felt as if she was about to cry.
"Momo…is it your because of your grandmother's health?"
Considering for a moment, she forced her tears back, and turned towards Hitsugaya. "Yea."
A simple lie, adding to the pile others she had already told. "Momo, do you really expect me to believe that?" Sealing his last words in her mind with a kiss, a sign of affection and a willingness to be open. "Momo, I've known you since we were both three years old. And I can tell when you're lying."
"Lil' Shiro…Please don't mak-"
"I won't…I won't force you. You can tell me when you're ready. Whatever it is." In an effort to brighten her up, he flashed a smirk, his special smirk, the one meant only for Momo.
"You still want to go?"
"…Could you take me to your house instead?" Generally, Hitsugaya would have denied this request for fear of losing control; but how could he possibly say 'no' to her now? "Yea, sure."
The drive towards Hitsugaya's house was quiet with a tense air; both of them letting the silence eat away at them. Luckily, the ride was also short, allowing them to continue the silence.
"You can go sleep in my bed, you look kinda tired. I'll go prepare something for you to eat." Before he left, Momo's hand grasped his arm, and she gave him a pleading shake of the head.
"Momo…"
She continued, as if saying 'please', wearing out what was left of Hitsugaya's willpower. He followed her into his room and lay down beside her, holding her in his sweet caring embrace. Hoping a nice nap could lift her spirits some, he wasted no time in soothing her to sleep.
'Shiro-kun…" The girl mumbled as she snuggled closer to her beloved Shiro-kun. "I'm right here for you." He said in an equally thin tone.
Flashback:
'Lil' Shiro…about what you said earlier, did you really mean it?'
'Of course I meant it, Bedwetter. Why else would I have said it? I'll be by your side forever, no matter what. But you tell anyone I said that and I'll make sure they all know you wet the bed!'
'SHIRO!'
End Flashback:
"Momo," he gave her sleeping figure a gentle shake, and then planted a placid kiss upon her lips. "Wake up, it's six."
She rubbed away the last remnants of sleep away from her eyes. "Wait, six?! I'm going to be late!"
"Late? Do you have to go somewhere?"
"N-No, but my mom wants me to get home earlier tonight. I'm sorry."
"It's ok, I'll give you a ride home."
Both ran out the door, and Hitsugaya hurried to start the car. Momo fiddled with her fingers, showing her anxiety. As the car pulled up to Momo's house, she ran up to her front door after giving Hitsugaya another goodbye kiss, and a 'thanks'.
"I'll see you later, Hitsugaya-kun."
"Ok, bye."
Waving off once more, she stepped through the door and was greeted by her mother. "Momo-"
"Mom, I'm going. I don't care what you-"
"I know." Her words shocked Momo beyond disbelief.
"Really?"
"Even if I could physically stop you, I wouldn't be able to mentally stop you. I just want you to promise me that you'll be careful."
"I'll be fine, and I already got the notice ready." She reached into her pockets only to find nothing but the little amount of air. "I was sure I put it in here before I left." She checked her other pocket and that was when she realized what had happened.
The Art of Thievery
After finally reaching home, Hitsugaya immediately went into his room to change into something more comfortable. However, upon entering his room, a piece of paper on his bed caught his notice.
Opening it, he read the words written on the paper. The content forced open his eyes and he read it once more to ensure that he wasn't mistaken.
"Momo…"
