July 7 Prompt: Water


Alarm Clock

For the first time in a long while, Ichigo is having a fabulous dream. Everything is going well, his family is safe and happy, and he doesn't have to worry about Aizen or Espada or shinigami at all anymore. In fact, they never existed in this dream. Best of all, Rukia is still there, but she isn't a bitch.

In fact, she's about to –

Cold water hits his face, and suddenly the dream vanishes into thin air as he sits up, gasping and sputtering angrily and blinking water from his eyes as it drips down from his hair. Once he clears his vision of water, he sees his father's smiling face as he holds an incriminating mostly-empty bucket of water in one hand.

"Gooooood morning, my wonderful son!" Isshin crows. Ichigo simply decks him on the way to the bathroom, feet squishing uncomfortably against the wet carpet.

Ichigo decided he needed to have a talk with Yuzu about their father's new forms of waking up the family.
