Author's note: I'm changing this story to M. Because I feel like the content I post here is way beyond a T rating, but it's like skimming the M rating. Please DON'T ask me to put sex in here, I'm not, I would feel terribly awkward writing that. So, there will be no sex. So don't ask me to put some in here.
I'm going to keep it like this, you get to infer, so no lemons here.
The Illusion of Benefits:
E for Emotional
"Ugh, I hate you," Rukia said as she got up from the floor and off her knees. "My knees hurt now." Rukia rubbed her sore knees as Ichigo pulled her down onto the couch with him. Rukia zipped up his jeans and sat on the opposite side of the couch from him. Rukia drank her soda.
"You never answered my question." Rukia informed him as Ichigo crossed his arms over his bare chest, giving a shrug as his answer.
"You mean about which ones I prefer, hook-ups or relationships?" Ichigo asked, Rukia rubbed her foot against his.
"Yeah, you never answered." Ichigo went into thought, and rubbed his foot against hers as well.
"I like hook-ups, definitely. Relationships are just a pain in the ass. That's why I like being with you." Ichigo grinned while Rukia rolled her eyes, Rukia flicked her foot up to trace his stomach. He caressed her foot.
"Is there a reason why you like hook-ups?" Ichigo's hand stroked Rukia's bare and tone calves, her thighs barely covered with her shorts.
"Well, first, do you like hook-ups or relationships better?" Ichigo asked, Rukia jabbed her foot into Ichigo's stomach gently.
"Hook-ups, definitely," Rukia sat up a little straight now, "Is there a reason why you don't like relationships?" Ichigo scratched at his head and nearly groaned from the experience that made him curse relationships forever.
"Before, when I was in my sophomore year of college, I was dating this girl Senna. Eventually we started messing around in bed in my senior year and whatever after being together for a while. We even choked out the 'I love you' out of each other eventually. Then one day," Ichigo sighed and Rukia stared at him with an arched brow. "Then one day, after three years of being with her, I come to her house to surprise her on our anniversary and there she is, with another guy." Rukia bit her lip in and felt her heart tug for Ichigo. He was her friend, and to find out he was treated that way, was sad to hear.
"What happened after that?" Rukia pushed further, wanting to find out more about Ichigo. Ichigo scratched his neck.
"She kicked him out of her house; we sat down, and talked. I told her I could forgive her, because I really loved her, even though I knew I was betrayed by someone I loved. She got really silent, and I asked her why she did it in the first place, I told her, if she told me why, I would forgive her. But she told me she did it because she didn't love me anymore, wasn't even sure if she loved me in the first place." Rukia stopped moving her foot around Ichigo's body.
"Sorry I even asked, it must've been hard bringing up bad memories." Ichigo waved it off.
"Nah, it's fine, I got over her. But I think her and that guy started dating, and then she moved on to many, many, many guys. Not that I can't blame her, she always did like doing the dirty. We still talk from time to time though." Ichigo took a sip of Rukia's soda. "So," he relished the taste of the sweet soda. "Why do you like hook-ups better?" Rukia smirked mischievously.
"Well like you, I used to date men seriously. I don't know, when I did date men seriously, I never liked it. So, I reverted to hook-ups and just left it as that. But, I've done friends with benefits before. He eventually ended up falling in love with someone else, but yeah. His name was Kaien, now they're in love, married, and are going to have children." Ichigo detected a little bit of bitterness in Rukia's voice. If he hadn't been listening carefully, he would've missed it. Thank god he was good with words and being able to detect emotion easily.
"You sound bitter about this Kaien guy going off and getting married. Something tells me you fell in love with him." Rukia rolled her eyes as she put her hands in her lap comfortably.
"I hated liking him. But I couldn't help myself. I didn't love him, I liked him a lot. But when he told me we needed to stop because he was in a relationship with Miyako, I felt hurt. We were still doing that benefits thing until he and Miyako got serious. But I knew I couldn't change how he felt about her," Rukia looked at the framed picture in her living room of her and Kaien together. She bit her lip, immediately releasing her lip from her teeth. "She was always prettier than I was."
Ichigo stared at Rukia in disbelief, sure, he didn't like her, but he was shocked that someone would leave Rukia for someone else. As her friend he could say that she was immensely attractive, and that she had a great personality.
"From a friendly perspective, I think you're great Rukia." Ichigo said as Rukia gave him a sweet smile.
"Thanks Ichigo, you're not so bad yourself. Senna missed out." Rukia let her foot wander up Ichigo's body again, pressing down in certain places. Ichigo rolled his eyes as he smirked, grabbing her foot and putting it off of him as he reached over and leaned in between her legs.
"I have to pay you back for earlier." Ichigo's hands already wandered off to the waistband of Rukia's shorts, Rukia's fingers going into Ichigo's hair.
"Well, then do it." Rukia and Ichigo met up for a kiss before he started.
