Author's note: I know, I know, why do I keep on updating on this story and not the other ones? Because I just simply don't care about the others right now, even though it sounds pretty harsh, it's true. Now that I've started school, updates are always, going to be irregular and out of the blue. I guess. Lately, I've just wanted to nap and waste away in hopes I don't have to wake up early ever again. I don't know, waking up at six again is taking a toll on me.
So, let's get this show on the road.
My tumblr link will be posted on my profile if you want to go check it out.
Also, in some of your reviews, some of you mention if the boys will ever chase another girl or fall in love with another girl at the end of the chapter, and that's undecided. But, I probably will not state that they will due to the fact I didn't do it for Renji and Kaien and I don't want to mess up the pattern I've created. I have about two more guys to do after I finish Hitsugaya's point of view.
I also just saw the new Bleach movie-subbed just last night. It was a gorgeous movie and I was crying like a baby through some scenes. It was flawless, truly, the best Bleach movie I have ever seen.
Hitsugaya's story:
I took the veinte peppermint frappuccino and my caramel brulee frappuccino. The waitress barista smiled prettily at me as she slipped me my napkins with her number on it, again. I left the napkins there and I could see her pretty smile drop into a scowl as she scrunched up the napkin with her number on it that was marked with red ink. I could feel her boring hazel green eyes following me as I handed the peppermint frappuccino to her.
"She's staring at us again." She comments and I scoff as I absentmindedly pop off the lid of my frappuccino and lap up the whip cream with my straw.
"You act like I care." I comment as I pop the lid back on, I see her rolling her eyes with me, a playful smirk on her lips.
"You need to date." She comments again, my turquoise eyes bolt right at her as I glare at her.
"I hate girls." In reality, I thought women were absolutely wonderful, but, most of the female population that actually wanted me, I didn't want them. I only wanted one girl, and she was here in the flesh, getting coffee with me like we do every other morning. The rest of the days we don't go in the morning, we go after school or in the afternoons on weekends.
We started going to Starbuck's together after we met in math class. I accidentally grabbed her drink and I took a sip only to realize it was a peppermint frappuccino and I almost coughed at the strong peppermint. She came up to me and told me she recognized me from her math class and she demanded that I buy her a new one since I infected the one she bought with my germs. Being the courteous gentleman I am; I did buy her a drink, the same size, same flavor.
I guess our friendship started from that one drink. I'm kind of glad I accidentally grabbed her drink, or else I wouldn't have found her, and she would've been another stranger. I can't think what my life would be like without her.
We walk out of our favorite coffee shop, our drinks in tow as she shifts her bag on her shoulder.
"You really need to start paying for your own damn coffee, me constantly buying you coffee is burning a hole in my wallet." I say in a mean tone and she huffs at me and just laughs, I'm glad I can make her laugh. Her laughs were just as lovely as bells that whispered gently in the wind.
"You have an Armani wallet; don't talk about how you're becoming poor if your wallet is always stocked with cash Mr. Rich guy." She retorts quickly and I look down at my wallet, she is right. I come from a wealthy family, well; all of the kids that go to our school are pretty wealthy. My wallet was always stocked with cash and I did go around with the Armani wallet she got me for my birthday.
"I'm rich? You're the one who got me the damn wallet." I say as I take another sip of my delicious drink. I can't live without it; it's my new sweet addiction besides those candied beans.
"It was on sale." She huffs as I see her take a small gulp of her frappuccino I've purchased for her. She's only got ΒΌ of her drink done while my veinte has been halfway devoured.
"It was at the original price, you're not good at ripping off price tags dumbass." I tease and she just punches me in the bicep. I can't feel her punch anyways. I'm the soccer captain of Karakura High School.
"You're just jealous of my skills." She jokes and I roll my eyes as I nudge my shoulder into hers, even though I have to stoop down a little bit to do so. She nudges back and then loops her arm around my arm and rests her head on it.
"Alright, come on idiot, we're going to be late for math class." I say as I loop an arm around her shoulder and she just rolls her eyes as she prods my tone stomach.
"Shut up idiot, I know that, catch me if you can!" She says as she bolts off and I gape at her as she runs into the gate of our school, the bell ringing, I quickly discard my finished drink and run after her, causing a few stares.
"Bitch, come back here!" I run, noticing that she has my wallet in her hand.
-Soccer practices-
In one movement, I gripped the hem of my jersey and cleanly shoved it off of my body as I walked to the bleachers and saw her texting and she instinctively grabbed onto my jersey as she gave me a water bottle.
The cheerleaders were gawking at my body again, great.
Taking a swig of the fresh, cold water, I sigh in delight as I dump some on my hair and run a rough hand through my white locks.
"You're disgusting." She teases as I shake my hair like a dog and I smirk as I hand the water back to her.
"I should be saying you're the disgusting one since you watch me practice all the time." I retort right back and she rolls her eyes at me as she takes up her foot and gently kicks me on my hard abs with her black sandals.
"Like what you see?" I joke, secretly hoping that she did like my body, which I worked so hard to tone up for her since she said she would give up time to go to soccer practices so we could hang out afterwards.
"You wish I did." I wish she did too. We both laugh as I turn around and start to jog back, in which I can feel her lightly shoving her sandaled foot on my ass pushing me forward. Making me trip, I almost trip as I turn my head and glared at her and then jog back to my team. If I had tripped, it would remind me exactly how I fell for her.
-After soccer practices-
She lounges lazily on my bed as we face each other and we scribble down another answer to our math worksheet for the day.
"I win." She announces suddenly as she slams down her purple mechanical pencil and she stretches her back as she sits up and crosses her legs over another.
"Fine, what's that? Twenty problems for me and fifteen problems for you at the moment currently, you suck." I smirk as I stare up at her to which she flicks my forehead and I scowl as I rub my now painful forehead.
"That's not fair on your part; you're the prodigy of the school, stupid Valedictorian." She grumbles as she takes a sip of from her juice box. I keep a box in my house for her, assorted flavors, since she likes all of them. Her phone rings, and I see her grab the Chappy charm by the head of the bunny and she flips open her phone without checking her LCD screen. I roll my eyes as the Chappy charm dangles from the sudden movement. Stupid Abarai, he got her that years ago, I burned in jealousy since I was going to give her the same charm that he knew I would give her. Also, right when I was supposed to give it to her, he just magically produces the same one and hands it to her, shrugging and saying he saw it and knew she would like it. Let's just say we had a little tussle about it, which ended up him getting a black eye and I got a busted lip from it. When we came to school the next day, she stared at us and asked what we got into a fight about.
I and Renji had to look at each other and look away as we said that some guys beat us up while we went to the park to jog.
She rolled her eyes and then punched us in the shoulder, called us a bunch of sissies, but she was glad we were okay.
"Hey there, oh, no, well, I'm busy right now. I'm studying with a friend." I hear her voice just slightly elevated, she was amused, and I arched a thin white brow as I pretended to look at our math problems.
"Sunday would be great, alright, I'll see you later!" She says as she snaps her phone shut, I look at her as she smiles gently at her paper.
"Number thirty equals one hundred fifty five." I say in a bored tone, but I'm not bored, I feel so alive when she's right here with me. She just pouts and growls at me.
"Screw you." She gripes and I smirk. She smiles at me; I wish she'd smile at me forever.
-Next afternoon-
"Ooh, look, Momo's here." She taunts me; I roll my eyes at her. She won't stop bugging me about it. Momo is the barista that works at Starbuck's every other day, she chose the days with the afternoon shift, which coincidently coincided with the days me and her went on.
"She's always here every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday." I say sarcastically, how I know this? I see her every single god damn time when I go here on the afternoons.
Momo also goes to our school, and our whole school knows that she has a huge crush on me after I helped her get over her ex-boyfriend Aizen after he publicly dumped her. I was just trying to be nice; I didn't mean to send the wrong message.
"You should go ask her out." She pesters me and I roll my eyes again as I take out my wallet.
"I don't like her." No, I didn't like Momo. I liked her; the girl right next to me. She folded up her umbrella and she rubbed a smooth leg against my jeans as she wiped up the rain that caught onto her bare legs. She was wearing a simple strapped dress. It was a white lace fabric dress that hit her knees. Thick straps wrapped around her shoulders and she tugged on the laces of her wedges.
"She likes you though." She teases as we step forward in the line, she twists her plastic Chappy umbrella, and my eyes latch on the leather bracelet around her wrist. I know Kaien gave her that bracelet when she said she liked it, even though she said it once, he gave it to her on the spot and smirked at her.
"Shut up, what do you want?" I ask her and she just laughs at me, I love her laugh.
"You know what I want; it's the same drink every time." She replies and knocks her elbow into my side as we share a small laugh. I know what she wants always, since today is Wednesday; she'll want a chocolate chip scone with her drink.
We go up and the barista smiles at me as she twirls her ponytail, the tendrils of bleached blonde hair wrapping around her finger smoothly as she flutters spider like eyelashes.
"How can I help you today handsome?" The barista asks me and I arch a thin white brow, Momo's staring at the girl in anger and she's glaring at the barista too.
"I need one veinte caramel brulee frappuccino and one veinte peppermint frappuccino with a chocolate chip scone, to go." The barista smiles at me as she taps the electronic screen with French tipped nails and she marks the plastic cups with a sharpie.
"You a fan of the caramel brulee frappuccino?" The barista asks me as she looks at me, and I scowl.
"Yes, I am. What's my total?" I ask, trying to get my order as quickly as possible, this is becoming awkward and she's becoming impatient, she's gripping onto the hem of my shirt, signaling for me for her to handle the situation.
I gently brush my fingers over her smooth ones, telling her to calm down, I felt the tingle, and a rush of nervousness washed over me.
"Oh, well I like peppermint frappuccinos, could it be that you're buying that other drink for me?" The barista flutters her lashes at me, and I'm sick and tired of her, I just want to get out of the damn line.
"No, I'm not, so can I just please have my total?" I say with a bored tone and her grip on my shirt has released, I still wanted her hands to grip my shirt.
I can feel her trying not to laugh as we both see the barista's reaction; she's turning a bright red and clenches her hand into a fist on the counter.
"Eight forty five." The barista snaps as I slide the ten dollar bill over to her and she gives me the change to which I drop into the tip jar. I smile at her as we sit down and she's laughing.
"I love coming here." She exclaims as she bursts into a fit of laughter and I smirk at her as we see the barista who helped us snap off her apron and rush to the back, muttering a string of curses. Our drinks are ready and we snatch them off the counter and head off. She bites into her scone and the plastic crinkles as she opens her umbrella and I shove my hands into my pockets. She walks on the sidewalk, and I walk on the road that's right on the edge of the sidewalk. She notices this and we keep on walking.
"You're going to catch a cold dumbass." She says as I sip casually on my frappuccino.
"It's the middle of spring, it's warm right now." I bite back at her and we keep on walking, my necklace swinging to and from as we walk slowly back to her house.
"I've never seen you wear that necklace, is it new?" She asks me and I look down at my necklace and shrug. It was a silver heart locket, pretty lame right? One of the foster children that my grandmother takes care of gave it to me. She's five years old. I visit my grandmother about monthly, and she gave it to me, saying she liked me and I wore it so she wouldn't cry. She made me promise that I would marry her someday, even though I'm thirteen years older than her. I said I promised as I rubbed her head and left.
"One of the foster children that grandma take cares of gave it to me. She's five; she gave it to me last week." I say as I see her staring at it. She chuckles sweetly and picks on me.
"Aw, are you planning on ending up on a sexual offender's list?" She teases and I roll my eyes at her as we walk into the park pathway.
"Shut up, it's not like that. She was going to burst into tears if I didn't wear it." I say as she throws away the plastic from her scone into the trash.
"Already breaking little girls' hearts, why so cruel?" She asks me and we both chuckle as a silence develops and it's comfortable.
"I like it, it's pretty." She comments and I wrap my fingers around the necklace and jerk it off of my neck in one smooth move, the necklace wouldn't break and without looking I say to her,
"Catch." I throw it gently and she catches it deftly in her hands and she looks as me as we're walking.
"I can't take it from you." She says softly and I turn and smile at her gently as I avoid slamming my face into a parking meter.
"It's fine, it suits you." I say as she smiles and grips onto it and we stop, the rain falling gently on my hair. She looks at me, her violet orbs giving me a gentle caress as I look at her.
"What?" I ask and she holds out a free hand, her frappuccino just finished and she throws it away.
"Come on, you're going to catch a cold, plus, I need you to tie on the necklace." She says as she smiles at me, I scoff as I smile gently at her and take her hand and she pulls me right next to her. I wish she'd hold my hand forever.
-One week later-
I sighed as I pushed the five dollar bill towards Momo and she smiled gently at me.
"Where's your friend that you usually come in with?" Momo asked me as she gave me my change and I shrugged my shoulders.
"She's busy." Yes, she was busy, which constituted with her not hanging out with me in the mornings and the afternoons nowadays. It'd been only a week, but it felt like a month that we haven't hung out, or gotten coffee together. I missed her always bumping her hip into mine as another barista continuously flirted with me one after the other. When she teased me about going out with another girl when I wanted to say badly she was the one I wanted to be with. Her, and only her, yet, she seemed like a whisper in the wind.
When I saw her in class, she always apologized for not being able to go to coffee with me, and I had to sit there, acting like I didn't care that she'd been skipping. Instead, I just waved my hand at her and told her that I didn't care, and it was fine. When in all reality, I felt so alone.
-Next Wednesday-
I slapped my black messenger bag on my desk and saw her in her seat as always, which was right next to mine, and she was eagerly texting someone.
She looks up at me, and I feel something take my breath away again. She smiles at me and lays her phone on her desk.
"Good morning grumpy head." She teases and I roll my eyes as I slide in my seat and slump over and rest my cheek on my arms.
"Leave me alone." I whine as I close my eyes and she pulls on a strand of my white locks and I still leave my eyes closed. It felt good as she started twisting and pulling on my hair.
"You desperately need your coffee today." She giggles and I sigh inwardly. I couldn't sleep lately knowing that she hadn't hung out with me during soccer practices or getting coffee with her for the past two weeks.
"Are you coming today?" I ask, knowing the answer would probably be a no, but instead she twirls another lock of my hair.
"I am, sorry for not being able to go for the past two weeks to soccer practice, morning and afternoon coffee." She apologizes once again and I crack an emerald eye at her.
"It's alright, you're not that important to me." I'm a liar.
She smacks a hand on the back of my head, causing my forehead to bump harder into my desk.
"I am important to you dumbass!" She laughs, but she was right, she was so much more important to me than she realized.
-Soccer practice-
I ran another lap and huffed as I came to the stop of my tenth lap and rested my hands on my knees as I hunched over. A few teammates of mine finished up their last lap and slapped their hands on my sweat covered back as they headed over to drink their Gatorades. I put my hands on my hips as I walked over to her and stretched out, she was texting again and she instinctively threw a bottle of Gatorade at me.
I unscrewed the lid and tilted my chin up as I drank the whole bottle in a matter of seconds. I capped it and threw it on the grass as I stretched my legs and my arms. I looked up and I saw her smiling at me, my silver locket shone on her neck and I smirked.
"Like what you see?" I teased as I flexed an arm for her and she threw a granola bar at me, which hit my chest.
"No! You're sweaty and you're disgusting, go hurry up and shower so we can go get coffee!" She screeched to which I replied on wrapping my arms around her and she laughed. My heart swooned as I heard her laughter as she pushed me off of her and lay right next to me on the grass.
-Next Thursday-
Scratching the back of my neck, I glanced over to my Rolex and sighed. She was late, and she promised she would be here, since last Wednesday was our last coffee meeting.
The doorbell rung and I snapped my head up, hoping to see her, but it wasn't, just another cheerleader with her friends. All which pointed at me, giggled, and whispered about me.
I rolled my eyes and rested my cheek into my palm and I dropped my gaze to the bracelet I always wore. It was white, green, and blue bracelet that she made herself out of all of these fancy weaving patterns she found on the internet. It had a couple of charms, and she gave it to me the day they chose the new soccer captain. I was up against a few other guys and she gave it to me while getting coffee, told me it was for good luck. I wore that bracelet after I got chosen. Yet, I would've worn it, even if I hadn't gotten the position.
I sighed, ready to get up to go order my drink when the doorbell rang and I saw her. She waved at me and I smiled at her as I my locket shine on her neck brightly. Then, my face dropped into a scowl as someone came up behind her. It was Ichigo Kurosaki.
Everybody knew that Ichigo Kurosaki had been trying to pursue after her. I should've known.
She smacked him in the jaw after he said something and then came up to me, her skirt whipping around her thighs.
"Hey, sorry I'm late!" She says to me and I wave it off.
"Whatever, it's not like I was waiting." I say, when in reality I was waiting for her all of this time.
"Sure you weren't, oh, I need to introduce someone to you." She says as Ichigo comes up and stands right next to her and he waves at me.
"Hitsugaya, this is Ichigo, and Ichigo, this is Hitsugaya." She states and Ichigo cracks a smile at me.
"Oh, so you're the guy who buys my girlfriend coffee huh?" Ichigo says and I feel my heart being shredded. Not even suicide sprints in soccer practice hurt as much as the feeling I have right now.
"When did he become your boyfriend?" I ask her and she smiles softly at me as she slips her arm around his.
"We became official about a couple of days ago after school." She answers as he moves closer to her and wraps an arm around her waist. Why? Why did this have to happen?
I swallow the growing lump in my throat and I place a hand on her head and ruffle it.
"I feel bad for him, who'd want to date you?" I joke, but I know I would any day if she said she liked me.
"Shut up!" She hisses at me and then punches my bicep, it never hurt, but now it does, and the pain shoots to my heart.
"Let's go and order." She smiles as her head tilts towards the counter and I nod as we begin to take our place in line.
We order shortly and as I take out my wallet and pull out enough to pay for her drink, she stops me. She places her hand gently on mine and smiles.
"Let my dumbass of a boyfriend pay for mine this time, because you don't have to pay anymore." She says as Ichigo yells at her that he's not her walking ATM as he pays for all of our drinks.
As soon as we get our drinks, she looks at me and smiles.
"We have to go now." She tells me and I smile softly at her in understanding as we stand there.
"Alright then, bye." I say to her and she fingers my locket and whispers 'Thank you.'
They walk out of the shop and I look at my cup of coffee and I clench my hands into fists.
Why?
Why didn't she fall in love with me after all of this time?
I realize why it hurt so much.
I didn't just like her.
I was in love with her.
But you wouldn't know that ever, would you?
Would you Rukia?
