Chapter 5: Apocalyptic Reality ~ Kurosaki Ichigo
His eyes said it all. Dying. He didn't want me to die. That's why he was here. Now. Caring for me. Holding me against him gently while sitting on my bed.
I know that if I die…he will now probably just die with me…instead of taking over. He can't live without me it seems. And we've only been like this for 2 days now. We'll grow even closer if possible, but I wonder how far we'll go.
"I want you to stay in bed for a few days." I heard him stay and my eyes opened and glanced to his head on my shoulder.
"What?" I questioned. "Shiro I really am fine."
"Ichigo you got your ass handed to you. I want you to rest… stay home from school for a few days and get your strength back up" He meant well, I know this. But I feel fine.
"But…"
"No buts." He muttered then lifted his head to look at me. He was becoming easier to read. He didn't want me going to school, afraid something would happen, and I would get hurt more. I felt his hands massage me gently and he kissed my neck and I closed my eyes again. I was exhausted, I should give into sleep. I heard him whisper something in my ear, but I didn't quite catch the words. He nuzzled my neck and continued his gentle touches. I sank more into his warmth. I gave into darkness with ease.
I was sinking into dark waters. There were no buildings anywhere, just an endless abyss. No one was there, and I felt heavy instead of weightless, I turned my head. I could breath, I could see…but only a few feet in front of me. I looked up to where the surface should be, but instead met wide gold eyes.
I suddenly felt hands on me tearing into my skin, claws. I closed my eyes and suddenly struggled to breath. I started to hear words of kindness though. "I love you. I'm only doing what's best for you. You mean everything to me. No, don't cry. Rest now, you need to. I love you…Ichigo."
I woke up screaming and hugging myself but then Shiro was right on me holding me. I looked to him terrified and he starred right back at me with the same scared look probably on my face.
"What's wrong?" He asked, does he know about this nightmare?
"I…" I didn't know what to tell him.
He sighed and just held me close, I was shaking. He tried his calming motions again. While he did I took notice to how I was back in my actual body, in fresh clothes. I looked at him with question. But he only continued to calm me. His own eyes were closed.
I stared at him. I looked to his hands. I then shifted and his eyes opened. I looked into them.
The same golden eyes.
"I love you…Ichigo"
So should I post another chapter this evening? Got some light lemon next chapter, then the chapter after that is full on yaoi. Please review!
