A/N: Post War.

Jealousy:

….

…

"Have you guys seen Suzuki's face!?" Keigo asked the group of seniors assembled on the roof for lunch.

Chad offered a non-committal grunt, Ishida didn't even look up from his bento, and Mizuiro continued to text his latest fling on his cell phone. Keigo glowered at the lack of response from his so-called friends. But he didn't let their obvious disinterest interrupt his narrative.

"Someone beat the crap out of him. I heard he lost not one, not two, not three, but EIGHT teeth!" Keigo described melodramatically.

The roof door slammed open.

"Ah! Ichigo!" Keigo exclaimed, hoping his orange haired friend would be more talkative than the rest of the roof's occupants. "Have you seen Suzuki Jougo's face? He is almost unrecognizable, completely bruised and he lost not one, not two, but EIG-" Keigo was denied his chance to finish his statement.

"He had it coming." Ichigo muttered darkly as he took a seat on the ground. He leaned against the railing as he pulled his lunch out of his school bag.

"Ehhhh?! You're the one that beat up Suzuki? Ichigo, you really need to try to lay low! We're so close to graduating but if you get expelled-" Keigo was interrupted once again.

"Where's Inoue-san?" Ishida asked, finally looking up from his lunch.

Ichigo glared at the Quincy. "What's it to you?"

Ishida rolled his eyes at Ichigo's defensive tone. For some reason, the Substitute Shinigami just could not get it through his tiny mind that Ishida was not interested in Orihime in a romantic way. Ishida had no idea what Orihime saw in the possessive prick.

"Well, Ichigo, it is kind of weird that she isn't here. Since you two started dating, she and Tatsuki always eat lunch with us." Mizuiro tried to defend Ishida's question, but he regretted his actions when Ichigo redirected his glare from Ishida to Mizuiro himself.

Seeing the guys were not going to drop it, Ichigo reluctantly decided to just answer Ishida's question. "Orihime is eating with the girls today."

"Why?" Chad finally joined the conversation.

"She's mad at me." Ichigo finally revealed.

"For what?" Keigo asked.

Why were they all so nosy? It was his personal business. But he knew they wouldn't stop prying until he told them everything, and he was already mentally exhausted from his fight with his girlfriend and had no energy left to fight his friends. "For punching Suzuki in the face, but like I said, he had it coming."

"Well, what did he do?" Keigo had taken it upon himself to be the designated questioner of the group.

"On Saturday, me and Orihime agreed to meet at the park after I got off work. My boss ended up making me stay past my assigned hours doing ridiculous chores she could have just gotten her little brat to do, so I was running late. So when I got to the park, Orihime was waiting for me on the bench, but she wasn't alone." Ichigo paused for dramatic effect. "Suzuki was sitting there with her, and he had his arm around her!"

Chad raised an eyebrow.

"Wait, so his arm was actually around her or was he just resting his arm behind her on the bench?" Mizuiro asked.

Ichigo frowned. "Same thing! Either way, his arm didn't need to be anywhere near her. AND, you should have seen the pervert smirk on his face as he was talking to her. I had to punch that smirk off his face!"

All his friends sweat dropped, clearly not taking his side on the issue. For some reason, their lack of support infuriated him. Ichigo was unsure why he even cared what they thought, but someone had to be on his side!

"And this isn't the first time either! Anytime we go anywhere, guys are always trying to flirt with her or feel her up or eye fuck her and she doesn't even realize what they are doing! It pisses me off and this time I finally snapped!" Ichigo complained loudly, unaware that he had been squeezing his juice box as his temper rose and now it was basically unrecognizable in his hand.

Something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention suddenly, and he turned around and shoved his arm through the railing, pointing at the girls. "Look! Look at them right now!"

His tone was so urgent his friends felt compelled to do as he said. All five boys crowded around the railing where they had a good view of Orihime.

"Look at that asshole approaching her." Ichigo demanded. A short skinny student with chestnut brown hair approached Orihime. They couldn't hear from the roof, but they could see the two were talking. Orihime was smiling. Ichigo's scowl became more pronounced as she laughed at something he said.

"You mean Genshu? He's just a freshman Kurosaki. He's in the sewing club with us. He is talking to her, not flirting." Ishida's tone indicated how ridiculous he felt Ichigo was being.

"Bullshit! Look at him fidgeting, if he isn't trying anything why is he so nervous?" Ichigo rebutted.

"When someone tries to flirt with one of my girlfriends, I take it as a compliment." Mizuiro tried to point out a silver lining for his long time friend.

"Well, I don't. Especially since my girlfriend is too nice to tell them to get the hell away from her. And since she wasn't going to say anything to Suzuki, what other choice did I have besides beating the crap out of him?" Ichigo replied.

Keigo continued to watch Orihime as she finished conversing with Genshu and went back to eating her lunch. "Are you sure she's mad at you? I can't really picture sweet Orihime-chan ever being mad at anyone, especially you."

Ichigo rolled his eyes. "I think I can tell when she's mad. She didn't even come over to heal me after I finished hollow hunting yesterday. And she called me an insensitive jerk. And she wants me to apologize to Suzuki." He scoffed. "As if that is going to happen. And then when I complained about her being oblivious to guys flirting with her, she claimed that I'm the oblivious one when other girls are flirting with me! And then she just stormed off and I haven't talked to her since."

"Hm." Chad added. Those assembled couldn't tell whether that was meant to be in support of Ichigo or Orihime.

"You're oblivious in general." Ishida criticized. Ichigo glared, wondering why Ishida even ate with them,

"Well, she has a point." Mizuiro mumbled, stroking his chin thoughtfully.

"What the hell?! No she doesn't! If a girl were flirting with me, I would let them know that I'm taken and that they need to back off. Which is what my girlfriend should do!" Ichigo was basically screeching at this point.

"Remember my ex-girlfriend Mayuko?" Mizuiro asked.

"The one with the really hot daughter?" Keigo asked, practically drooling at the thought of the pretty 15 year old.

Mizuiro nodded. "That's the one. When you met Tiza, she kept batting her eye lashes at you Ichigo."

Ichigo blinked. "Batting her eyelashes?"

"Like this." Chad demonstrated eyelash batting for the group. It was quite disturbing.

Ichigo blinked again. "That's flirting? I thought a bug flew into her eye!"

"And Riruka had a crush on you." Chad reminded Ichigo.

"What are you talking about? Riruka hated me. She was always making fun of me."

"That was her way of flirting." Chad explained patiently, amused at just how oblivious Ichigo was.

"And haven't you noticed the way the underclassmen girls look at you when you walk through the halls? I would kill to get those looks! It's so unfair, the admiration is wasted on you!" Keigo began to throw a temper tantrum, striking his hands and feet on the roof like a petulant toddler.

Ichigo looked completely puzzled, was he really that oblivious? "This can't be true. If all these girls are flirting with me, then why doesn't Orihime get mad?"

"Because she's not an insecure jealous asshole like you." Ishida commented. Ichigo shot the Quincy another glare, but this one held far less heat then the previous ones.

"No matter how many other guys try to flirt with her, in the end she chose you Ichigo. So there is no need to be so jealous." As the resident Casanova of the group, Mizuiro shared the closing thought.

Ichigo sighed and stood up, brushing crumbs off his uniform. "Whatever." He mumbled before heading toward the door.

"Where are you going?" Keigo asked.

Ichigo didn't answer. The door slammed loudly behind him.

For a moment, there was silence. But Keigo can't stand silence. "Did you guys hear they are making another Bad Shield sequel? This one is starring-"

"Oi! Suzuki!" Ichigo's voice carried from the courtyard. "Hey! Stop running away from me! I'm not going to hit you! I'm trying to apologize! HEY!"
