Chapter Twenty-Nine: Strawberries
Ichigo lay on his bed, listening to Rukia and her friend chat about something or another inside his closet. At first, when he learned that the girl was a Ferry Girl, he assumed they'd be talking about the Soul Society. But more then once he had caught a feminine squeal and the name of various men.
He was about to tell them to shut the hell up when his stomach started to growl. He tried to ignore it but it distracted him from being lazy. He really didn't want to get up… who knew when he could just lay about not fighting Hollows again? He groaned.
"Great, it's not even dinner yet and I'm already hungry. Curse dad for giving me his appetite. Damn," He swore as his stomach gurgled even louder. Suddenly the closet door opened and a blue haired girl peeked out.
"You pissed off at something?" Ichigo turned to see the pink eyed girl that was friends with Rukia with something in her hand. A chocolate cover strawberry was already in her mouth as soon as she had asked him the question.
"Nothing you could help with." He said gruffly as Botan blinked slowly before saying.
"Are you hungry?"
"I'll live."
Botan just finished off the strawberry in her mouth. She smiled at him sweetly, ignoring Rukia's muffled giggling. "Are you sure?" She asks, looking down at her plate to grab another strawberry.
He watches as she eats one very slowly, as if she was tempting him. "Are you teasing me?" He narrows his eyes to watch her.
All she does is shrug. After she finishes it, she comes up to him, extending the plate to Ichigo. "I told you I'll survive until din-" He was interrupted when she took a strawberry and popped it in his mouth. He took a bite, the sweet tart juices filling his mouth along with the chocolate. She smiled brightly,
"Much better then starving then, right?"
"Mmm, good." He swallows his bite, before Botan quickly pulls it away, finishing it herself before grabbing at the last red berry. Ichigo's eyes narrowed, but she seemed not to care, popping the sweet fruit into her mouth. He smirked before grabbing her shirt, pressing his lips against her.
When they parted, Botan sat, gaping like a fish with an empty mouth. "My-my strawberry… you stole it…" Ichigo looked at her innocently, still smirking.
"If Rukia hasn't told you yet, I do things for myself." Botan rolled her eyes, once again ignoring the guffawing Rukia.
