This one necessitates that you ignore the previous chapter that contained an Ichigo/Uryu pairing. Ichigo is not in relationships with multiple people.


"Toushiro! Why don't you come swimming with us? Everyone's having fun out in the water."

"No." Ichigo was getting quite annoyed right now. So far, this had been the white-haired captain's reaction to anything he had mentioned. All he had done today was sit under an umbrella far away from everyone else.

"Why not? It's just the beach! So far you have done nothing all day! You know, I organized this vacation so that you would get a chance to relax too." Toushiro sighed.

"Ichigo, what kind of Zanpakuto do I have?"

"Umm… an ice and snow type?"

"Not just any ice and snow type, the most powerful ice and snow type. Now if Zanpakuto are a representation of the Shinigami's soul, what do you think that means about me?"

"…"

"…"

"Oh… well I suppose it means that you don't like heat very much, huh?"

"Very good… now would you please leave me alone so that I can just sit here and avoid the heat?" Ichigo sighed and sat down next to Toushiro.

"You didn't have to come along, you know. Had you just told me that you didn't like the heat this much, I wouldn't have made you come." Toushiro grabbed Ichigo's shoulder and pulled down, sending the taller boy sprawling into his lap. The tenth division captain just laughed as he watched Ichigo grumble, the strawberry's head now lying in his lap.

"Don't get me wrong, Ichigo. I wouldn't miss this for the world. Even if I don't like the heat, it is still relaxing to be able to lie around and not do anything without having to worry about paperwork and such."

"But you're just sitting here and doing nothing! How can you be happy with that?"

"I'm happy just watching you and all the others enjoy the beach. Believe me, after all that has happened, that is more than enough." Toushiro suddenly hid his face in his hands. "Look what you've done now, you've made me be all sappy and stuff." Ichigo laughed and reached an arm up, wrapping it around Toushiro's neck to pull the smaller boy down for a kiss. But it didn't just stop at a kiss; it turned into a heavy make-out session. Somehow, Ichigo ended up on top of Toushiro, pinning the other boy to the ground.

"Ooooo, Taicho." Ichigo pulled away from Toushiro and looked up, getting a face full of Matsumoto's buxom chest as she was leaning over to watch the two of them. Toushiro yanked his lover away; cheeks flushed bright pink, though whether it from his anger at his fukutaicho or the activities he had been previously engaged in, it wasn't quite clear.

"Matsumoto…."

"Ne, taicho, looks like you're enjoying vacation. And I was afraid you wouldn't." Ichigo laughed.

"Don't worry, Rangiku-san. I'm making sure that he definitely has some fun and relaxes now."

"Ichigo! You should try giving Taicho some sake. I'm sure he would be quite interesting and fun when he's loosened up a little. After all, the last time we got him to drink a bit…"

"MATSUMOTO! Go back to your drinking games or whatever you were doing with Kira-fukutaicho and Hisagi-fukutaicho."

"But, taicho…"

"Now, Matsumoto, before I decide that all the paperwork on your desk can't wait a couple more days to be completed.

"That's mean, taicho!" This time Toushiro actually growled a little at her and she hastily backed up. "Fine, fine. I'm leaving, taicho. Enjoy your vacation with your lover-boy." With a little wink and a flirty flip of her hair, Matsumoto was gone again, disappearing as suddenly as she had reappeared. Toushiro groaned and allowed his head to fall onto Ichigo's chest, where he buried his rapidly reddening face.

"So, what exactly happened last time they got you to drink?" Toushiro reached up and punched Ichigo lightly on the arm.

"Shut up." Ichigo just laughed before proceeding to distract his lover from all thoughts of sake, or thoughts of anything really.
