Bleach Yaoi

By:

Ichigo Kurosawa

Chapter Four

Confused Flower

Uryū swore he was being watched, all day today.

But Ichigo was home sick (much to his disappointment) and Hanatarō was nowhere to be found. Though he did have this odd feeling that Hanatarō knew something when he passed by him in the halls.

If only he knew the trouble he was going to be in later that day.

"ISHIDA!"

Uryū stoppped but never turned around; he knew that voice, though he had never heard it in a such an angered tone.

"Yamado."

He turned to see Hanatarō staring at him like he was the most vile living thing on Earth. Whish wasn't far from the truth.

"What do you want? I'm bu-."

Before Uryū could finish, he felt a fist connect with his jaw and was sent flying back several feet into a wall.

"What was that for!?"

Hanatarō just glared at him darkly, charging at him. Uryū decided to fight back and just before anyone else could land a punch, both were grabbed from behind.

"LET ME GO!"

Uryū glared at the struggling form of Hanatarō but was punched in the gut.

"Hanatarō! That was a little much!"

Uryū coughed loudly, looking up at Hanatarō.

"You lay another fucking finger on Ichigo, I. Will. Kill. You."

Only one thought went through Uryū's head at that: he knows.

Chad picked up Hanatarō and threw him over his shoulder, carrying him away.

"Uryū, what was he talking about?"

Uryū looked to Orihime before standing up and walking away.

"So, Uryū raped Ichigo?"

A nod.

"And that's why you attacked him?"

Another nod.

"Oh."

"So, you understand then?"

This time it was Chad who nodded as they arrived at the door to Ichigo's house. Chad just stared blankly at the door and Hanatarō was confused until Ichigo threw the door open, same scowl back on his face.

"Hey, Chad... Did Hanatarō get into trouble or something?"

"... He attacked Uryū..."

Ichigo turned to to glare at Hanatarō, who just laughed nervously. "Hey, um... Chad knows now."

"...You little fucker! You told!"

Ichigo leaped forward at Hanatarō who jumped from Chad's shoulder and tried to run off, but he was tackled by Ichigo. Chad watched as Hanatarō tried desperately to escape and Ichigo laugh like a madman.

"...Ichigo... He only told me."

Ichigo looked up, arm reared back and ready to punch poor Hanatarō. Ichigo furrowed his brows.

"Only you, Chad?"

Chad nodded and lifted Ichigo from Hanatarō and lifted said small boy from the ground, now trembling. Seeing the shinigami tremble because of himself made Ichigo's heart hurt in such a way he wasn't used to. Chad dropped Ichigo and Hanatarō onto the couch before walking to the kitchen. Ichigo bit his lip and looked to the small boy who never before looked this small to him.

"Hanatarō?"

Said boy jumped, squeaked, and turned to Ichigo. "Y-Yes?"

"I'm sorry. I overreacted."

"No! It's my fault. I told without making sure it was okay with you first."

Ichigo went to protest but Chad walked to them then, carrying drinks. He handed one to Ichigo, and another to Hanatarō.

"Thanks."

Both took a sip before Ichigo spit his out, though Hanatarō seemed to rather enjoy his.

"Chad! What the hell is this stuff!?"

"... Something to help you sleep..."

Both Ichigo and Hanatarō's eyes widened.

"W-Wha...?"

Hanatarō fell asleep first, his body being much smaller. Ichigo just glared at Chad before everything went black.

"Ichigo... Ichigo... ICHIGO!"

Ichigo groaned and opened one eye, staring up wearily at Hanatarō who was smiling brightly.

"Ngah... where's Chad?"

"He went home after explaining why he did that. He did it to you because he knew you hadn't been sleeping lately and me because... er... well... I dunno."

Ichigo sat up, rubbing his hand over his face. Hanatarō giggled, the giggles soon turning to extremely loud laughter. Ichigo's eye twitched.

"What the hell is so damn funny!?"

"D-Do you... always talk in your sleep?"

Ichigo blinked. Oh. Shit. Did he hear tha-

Hanatarō!?

Hanatarō had leaned over and pressed his lips lightly against Ichigo's. He apparently had no idea what he'd done because when he pulled away, his eyes were wide and a strong blush had crept over his face.

"A-Ah... g-gomen..."

Hanatarō stood and walked out, never once blinking or looking back to the equally shocked Ichigo.

'Did... did he just kiss me? ... and... I liked it?'
