"Wow. This is a rather unfortunate moment. And you're alone in the house, with Ichigo-san! What should I do? Oh no, I am feeling more and more tense by the moment." Momo thought all the while trying to walk towards the living room to get the flashlight without tripping or stumbling.
Ichigo had sharp eyes that can see a little light in the darkness so he helped her by holding her hand and arm, supporting her in walking.
"Okay, Momo Hinamori. Calm down, you're just too hyped up. This doesn't mean anything. He's only helping you on your way to the living room. So don't act all weird and clumsy. Calm down, calm down, breathe slowly."
Momo smiled bitterly at herself feeling this weird, and started feeling calmer just only a little when Ichigo let go of her, putting her down on the couch as he looked for the flashlight himself.
"Well, what can I do? The fact that I'm always feeling funny when I'm with him verifies the fact that I have a sort of a crush of him. Sort of a crush? Huh, what am I doing?" Momo chuckled at herself, then screamed the next second when Ichigo suddenly appeared in front of her with the flashlight directed on his face, making him look like a scary ghost.
"Got you, Hinamori-san!" Ichigo laughed at the reaction that he got and didn't mind the punches he got from her, understanding that she was frightened to death.
"Please don't do that again. You reminded me of the movie that we just watched." She said, holding her chest as she tried to catch her breath
. "Okay, okay. I just wanted to pull a small prank on you, and the result was big." Ichigo teased, Momo lightly smacking him on the arm.
Ichigo saw two small cups on the coffee table, and a thermos standing next to it full of warm, creamed milk when he trying to point the flashlight to the kitchen. "I put that there for Rangiku when she was going to go home. And she isn't home yet." Momo explained and began to cough, shivering at the same time. She was starting to have a cold, and Ichigo felt worried.
Ichigo quickly poured warm milk for her and she drank it, feeling cold and hot at the same time. Ichigo put her into a lying position on the couch, and asked her if she has any medical supplies with her.
She shook her head, and Ichigo decided to take matters into his hands to treat her cold.
He searched for a towel, then went for the kitchen where he filled a large bowl with lukewarm water, and soaked the towel wet. He squeezed it and went back to the living room, one hand holding the bowl with the towel and the other with the flashlight.
Dabbing the wet cloth on her forehead and neck, he felt her temperature getting higher.
"Hinamori-san, is it okay if I can take off your shirt? I have to wash your whole body." Momo agreed and let him do it despite how embarrassing it was, to show him her body.
Ichigo gently pulled the shirt off her body, Momo lifting up her arms for support. He let the cloth wet her torso, and now he had to bathe her lower body.
(A/N: She is not naked she is still wearing her underwear. Don't get the wrong idea that she is naked.)
Momo blushed like a tomato when Ichigo removed her shoes and socks, her legs becoming wet from the cloth. Good thing what Ichigo did lowered the temperature a bit, but the fever did not disappear.
To make her feel warmer, he removed his own shirt and wrapped it around her, as the dark color of his shirt will absorb the heat. Momo couldn't look at anything but Ichigo's body, that makes her feel like she is getting massive nosebleeds.
Ichigo asked her next where the candles were, she pointed at below the coffee table. He took two sticks and lighted them with a match, and Momo thought like he was setting the mood even though he wasn't.
He set the cloth and the bowl with water aside, and gave her another cup of milk. She drank it and out of carelessness, she spilled the milk on Ichigo's torso, and some of the liquid also landed on her.
"Oh sorry about that." Momo apologized, trying to wipe away the milk on his body with her own shirt.
Ichigo was also wiping the milk off her body with his hands, and they stopped moving when their hands started caressing each others' chests.
Pink and red painted her cheeks as her face was very close to Ichigo's. She didn't notice the slight pink that painted his cheeks.
"Ichigo-san, I've been feeling this for a while but I had a crush on you since we met, and now I find myself in love with you." Momo said abruptly, and Ichigo gasped. From the shock on his face, Momo just realized what she just said in front of Ichigo.
"What? Ah.. no... I meant..." She tries talking her way out of it, though it was no use.
Instead of a slap which she was expecting, she got a kiss instead, a deep one at that. Ichigo cupped her cheeks with his hands and gently pushed her to the edge of the couch so that she was leaning her back on something.
Momo was shocked, though she gave in later and embraced his neck with her arms, her hands feeling the firmness of his back.
She felt something hot and wet licking her lips and she widened her mouth, and let the organ taste her. She tasted him too, and by his name he tasted like strawberries and they were so sweet.
As Ichigo explored her cavern, he noticed her taste, which was peaches and also apples. He loved the fruity taste, not knowing he tasted fruity as well.
They broke the kiss after what was like forever and they gasped from the need of oxygen. Just as they almost kissed each other again, white light filled the room; meaning there was electricity again.
They laughed a little at this, and Ichigo kissed Momo again as he embraced her. When they let go of each other, Momo pushed Ichigo back a little and was blushing so hard. She held his hand and caressed his cheek, "Ichigo-san, I won't leave you no matter what. I won't every betray you or leave you, and no matter what happens I'll always be with you and I love you so much. I never talked much to your gender since before until now." It was cheesy, she knew but she was at least being honest with herself.
Ichigo kissed her on the cheek and whispered to her ear, "I... love you too, Momo." This was the first time he called her by her name and she was touched, and they kissed for the third time, wrapping their arms around each other; wanting the moment to last forever despite the cruelty of reality.
