AN: I know Orihime is supposed to be bad at cooking, but inthis story, she is good at cooking.
Love, They Call It
Chapter Four, Three Kisses
..::Third Person::..
Today is the day I'm finally telling Orihime.. Ichigo thought as he ran to school.
..How I really feel.. Chad thought as he too ran to school.
Orihime walked down the halls. It was very early, an hour til classes started. She and Uryu were going to work on their sowing projet.
She went into their usual room. The room that is always empty with just them working away happily.
I will finally let her know how I feel.. Uryu thought as Orihime walked in.
They always had the blinds closed in case someone tried to see what they were doing for their project.
"Good morning Uryu." Orihime said as she walked in with their materials.
"Good morning Orihime." Uryu said.
Orihime dropped her bag at the desk in the front of the room.
They began working, Uryu stealing glances at her.
"I have something that would look great with this!" Orihime said as she walked over to her bag.
Uryu stood up to walk over to her.
Now or never... Uryu thought.
"Orihime..." Uryu said.
She turned to him.
He took a step towards her and then he backed her into the black bord.
"I've been... Wanting to tell you this for some time now..." He said.
"W-what is it Uryu?" She asked, puzzled by his behavior.
"I..."
You what, like her? Love her? She's all you every think about?
"I love you Orihime." Uryu said.
Orihime stared at him shocked.
He them trapped her, arms on the black bord on either side of her head.
"Say something..." Uryu whispered. "Tell me you love me... Tell me you hate me... You want to just stay friends.." Uryu said.
Orihime felt like she was choking on air.
"Please... Tell me that you love me too... Please.." Uryu whispered.
He then leaned in a captured her lips with his in a kiss filled with his need.
At that same time. Chad and Ichigo had found where Orihime and Uryu were from a girl in the hall way.
They opened the door to see the scene infront of them.
Chad stood in shock.
No... No way.. Chad thought.
Ichigo stared at the pair.
Then anger took over.
"You bastard!" Ichigo yelled
He attacked Uryu and threw wild punches at the Quincy.
"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled as she tried to pull Ichigo off of Uryu.
"Chad! Help!" Orihime yelled.
Chad snapped out of his shock and then helped pulling Ichigo off of Uryu.
"You bastard!" Ichigo yelled again.
Chad held him back easily.
Ichigo's pained eyes turned to Orihime.
I was supposed to be your first kiss.. Ichigo thought.
Ichigo broke free from Chad and ran out of the room.
"Ichigo!" Orihime yelled.
Uryu stared at them.
I see... They cared about eachother alot...
Uryu got up.
"I'm sorry." Uryu said and left.
It was now just Orihime and Chad.
"Why.." Chad asked, his fists clenched so tightly, his knuckles were white.
Orihime looked away.
Chad the gripped her shoulders and slammed her up against the wall.
"Why were you kissing him!" Chad yelled.
"I-I didn't.. He kissed me.. He caught me by supprise! I swear... I'm.. I'm sorry.." Orihime said.
Chad loosened his grip on her.
He too then left her.
Orihime slid down the wall. Tears escaping her eyes.
Crying is weakness... You can't cry.. You can't cry...
More tears flowed.
I'm sorry...
THE NEXT DAY...
Chad and Ichigo wern't in the next day.
Uryu said Chad was a home with a fever and he hasn't seen Ichigo since yesterday.
She was going to Chad after school to apologise and bring him something to make him feel better.
She went to his apartment with a small pot of home made salt beef ramen. His favourite.
She knocked on the door.
"Hey Chad.. It's me.." Orihime said.
A silent, 'come in' was heard.
She came in with the pot.
She saw his giant form on his small couch.
Sure enough, he was sick.
"I heard you were sick. I brought your favourite." Orihime said.
"Thanks." He said an then went into a coughing fit.
Orihime helped him sit up.
"You look really sick.. I'm not leaving you like this." Orihime said.
She took his temperature and got a cloth and ice water. She put it over his forehead.
She changed it every ten minutes.
"I'll reheat your food." She said and got up to heat his ramen.
When she had his ready, he tried to pick up the spoon and eat it but his arms were to weak.
"Here, let me." Orihime said and fed him his food.
Once he had finished his food, she cleaned it up and went into the kitchen to wash the bowl and pot.
Chad kept on thinking about her.
Even after the way I talked to her, she's taking care of me while I'm sick... I would love to wake up to her face all the time. Eat her cooking. Just to be with her...
She came back to him.
"Your clothes are all sweaty, you need to change." She said and started to unbutton his shirt.
He took her hands and tilted her Head up to him. He then, without warning, pushed her onto the couch and hoverd over her.
"I love you Orihime.. I want you to be mine, and mine only." Chad said and then kissed her with all the pent up passion and love he's with held for two years.
His hands wound around Orihime's waiste and pulled her towards his.
He groaned into her mouth.
"I love you.." He murmered against her mouth.
"Chad, wait.. Stop.." Orihime said.
Chad moved his lips to her neck.
"Chad.. Stop..." She said.
Chad pulled away and saw the tears in her eyes.
He sighed and pulled away from her.
"Orihime, I love you. There's no hiding the fact.. So, take all the time you need to figure out what to do.." Chad said.
Orihime sat up.
"I need to go." She said as she took her bag and left.
It was raining when she got outside.
The rain hid her tears as she ran home.
You can't cry! Crying is weakness! Do as he says! Never cry!
THE NEXT DAY...
It as Satuday, Orihime sat down at the spot that she first met Ichigo and Chad.
Memories came flooding back to her.
"You know Orihime... You don't need fight alone... Me and Chad... We can be there for you, if you promise the same for us." Ichigo said.
"Re-really? You promise?" Orihime asked.
"Yeah. Right Chad?" Ichigo said and Chad grunted in response.
Orihime didn't really beleive them and Ichigo could tell.
"Pinky swear." Ichigo said holding out his pinky.
Orihime looked at him oddly.
"What's that?" She asked.
"Here, I'll show you." Chad said showing her what to do and joing in himself.
"I swear I'll be there for both of you, always." Ichigo said.
"I swear I'll be there for you Orihime and you Ichigo." Chad said.
"I swear that I'll always have your backs." Orihime said.
Another tear slipped from Orihime's eye.
Never cry, it was big brother said. Crying is weakness is what he said. But lately.. All I seem to do is cry.
"Orihime.." Ichigo said.
"Where did you-" Ichigo cut her off.
"I was supposed to be your first kiss you know... Not that damn Quincy.." Ichigo said and sat down next to her.
Orihime stared at Ichigo's darkened face.
"I was supposed to tell you how I loved that day.. It was supposed to be me kissing you. Not him.." He said.
"Ichigo-" His lips then silenced me.
He go ontop of me and kissed me deeper.
Ichigo..
Orihime pulled away..
"I'm sorry... I just need time to think.." Orihime said.
She got up and ran away.
She remembered the day her big brother told her to never cry again..
"Orihime... Crying is a weakness. So do yourself a favour, and never cry. It'll expose your true feelings to others." Sorra said.
"But why big brother? Why can we not cry?" The five year old Orihime asked him.
"Being weak it bad. Never sho people that you're weak. Never show people how you feel. You only get hurt." He said. "Promise me Orihime. Promise me to never cry again." He said.
His voice coming out cold and hard, rather than his usual kind and warm voice.
"But big brother.."
"What I say goes!" He yelled. "Now go to bed." He said.
She ran into her small room, hugging her knee's to her chest. Holding back her tears. Not daring to let them fall.
Orihime bit her lip as she ran to her apartment.
I can't keep them back big brother. I can't.
She knew, she had to make a choice.
Uryu, Ichigo or Chad.
But how could she choose? She loved them all.
She went to sleep that night. And when she woke up.
Some how.. She knew, who the right one was...
