A/N: If you are a Hitsuhina fan, then you will probably agree with me when I say this song is absolutely perfect for the pair!

Pairing: Toshiro Hitsugaya and Momo Hinamori

Song: What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts

Lyrics:

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let ?em out

I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while even though
Goin' on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm okay
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losin' you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' it
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still harder gettin' up, gettin' dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And havin' so much to say
(Much to say)
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do, oh
Oh yeah

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
(To say)
And watchin' you walk away

And never knowin'
What could've been
And not seein' that lovin' you
Is what I was tryin' to do

Not seein' that lovin' you
That's what I was trying to do, ooo

Toshiro's POV (A few days after Aizen stabbed Momo and betrayed the Soul Society. Toshiro thinks Momo is dying.)

Captain Hitsugaya stared down at the sleeping figure that was Momo, unsure if she would ever wake up again. He had been sitting here all day, not even doing his paperwork. Everywhere he went in the Seireitei, people looked at him with sympathy. It seems everyone knew about his feelings except her.

But he didn't want their sympathy. He didn't want anything but for his Bedwetter Momo to wake up again. He needed to speak to her, just one more time. There were so many things he had never said to her.

I'm sorry.

This was his fault. He had been too late trying to save her.

I would have given my life to protect you.

They had been through so much together, in Rukon and as soul reapers. They were always together. He didn't want anything to hurt her.

You were my only true friend. My best friend.

He was never the kind of person that had made friends easily. His one other friend had betrayed him. (A/N: this is from the second Bleach movie) But Momo had always been there.

Those years with you in Rukon with you were the best in my life.

Those were the years without responsibility, paper work, or pressure. All he would do all day was laugh with her and eat watermelons.

I'll miss you, Momo.

Who would he talk to now? Who would he go to to escape the pressures of being a captain? Who would be his best friend?

I really loved it when you called me Shiro-chan.

It helped him remember that there was someone who thought of him as more than just another captain, someone who thought of him as a friend.

But there was something important he had to tell her. Something he never had the courage to say before. And now it was too late.

I love you.
