Chapter 13: Is it Love?
The morning sun rose above the silent Karakura Town, another day coming to an end as another one begins; the birds in the trees chirped harmonically from the rising sun. All around the town, everyone was either starting to get up from the blinding sunlight from their windows, eating breakfast, or just pulling the covers over their heads from such brightness as the sun flowed with. But back at Uryu's house, in Ashley's room, the sunlit light leaked through the crimson-red curtains, shedding it's light over Ashley's desk, which was stacked with different manga books and CDs and drawing paper, and also at the end of her bed; Ashley, and Uryu, whose strong arms tightly held her, were sleeping silently as if it was still night.
Uryu's arms were protectively secured around Ashley, yes, but his one arm which was once wrapped around her waist, was now held gently in Ashley's hands, her lips pressed against the tip of his fingers. His other arm was underneath her neck, wrapped around her shoulders; it was a very loving sight, that Ashley might have cried in joy if she knew how close Uryu's face was to her's: his face was still layed on top of the side of her head, but his lips, very lightly, were pressing against the top of her exposed ear. Uryu's eyebrow twitched then, as he slowly began to flutter his eyes open.
His sight was all blurred out at first, but it became more clearer when he adjusted to the bright sunlight; since he didn't have his glasses on, which were laying on the table behind him, his vision was still alittle blurred. Uryu wanted to rub away the remaining sleep in his eyes and reach over for his glasses, but he found that he couldn't move his arms in the motion he wanted them to move. Curiously, Uryu looked down to see the reason for the immobility of his arms, and saw Ashley, still sleeping silently, hugging one of his arms, as his other one was underneath her. "Oh," Uryu sighed in, a smile edging it's way on his lips, from seeing how peaceful he thought Ashley looked sleeping.
Being as careful and as quiet as he possibly could, Uryu released his grip on her shoulder, and slowly slithered his arm back from underneath Ashley's neck; and being as graceful and sneaky as he was, Uryu easily pulled Ashley's soft grip from around his hand. Very tenderly brushing hair out of Ashley's face and softly caressing her cheek, Uryu sat up on the bed and quickly took his glasses from the table and placed them perfectly on his nose. After that was done, he jumped out of the bed quietly, brushing away the wrinkles on his shirt and quickly combing his fingers through his coal-black bangs, ridding them of any unnecessary tangles. Uryu walked toward the closed door, but before he left Ashley to sleep, he gazed at her, from the corner of his eye, once again; when he felt a blush starting to form on his cheeks, he immediately left Ashley's room and closed the door behind him, silently.
He did not move from where he was, although: he stopped where he was after he shut the door behind him, and gently leaned his back against it. Uryu had his head dangled down, his bangs covering his face like a curtain, as if he was in deep thought. After a few minutes ticked on by, Uryu finally lifted his head back up, moving his bare feet toward his room, which was just across from Ashley's room. When he entered in his room, he closed the door behind him and slowly walked his way toward his desk. On top of his desk layed stacks and stacks of books: school books, and a few foreign language books here and there, some of them mostly of the German language. Papers were scattered everywhere on his desk as well, homework papers that he had forgotten to put in his bag, notes for his classes, and on top of those were his and Ashley's letters they write to each other during their classes: from when she first started at his high school, all the way to yesterday's letter; he also kept the letters he wrote to her at home, whenever he had to go somewhere he couldn't miss, and she was still sleeping in bed. Just by looking down at both of their hand-writings, Uryu smiled to himself, while he traced his finger over his name, which was written by Ashley. It wasn't the most perfect scripture in the world, he knew, nor was it the most neatest; but something in his mind, and even in his heart, made him want to think that.
"I must be over-thinking this," Uryu chuckled softly to himself, as he gazed his eyes over toward the wall clock, above his desk, which showed it was nearing to seven fifteen. Uryu knew it was getting towards the time when he usually gets ready for school, but he instantly decided then, for Ashley's sake, not for him and Ashley to go to school today; he knew she deserved a day off, for what he had done to her yesterday. So, he walked over toward his closet, which was just a few ways away from beside his bed, and swiftly pulled out one of his fastener shirts: a plain, white, short-sleeved fastener shirt, with small two pockets on the front, and a pair of black pants. After that, Uryu closed the closet door, and layed his clothes on his bed. Uryu then let out a long, exasperated sigh, as he slowly slipped his glasses off of his nose, placing them on a small table beside his bed. He finally rubbed the sleep out of his eyes quickly, then he repeatedly rubbed his temples with his index and middle fingers, for he felt an on-coming headache approaching; the same kind of headache he always felt when he was around Ichigo.
Trying all he could to ignore his pulsating headache, Uryu gripped his hands at the bottom of his shirt, and very slowly started to slip it off, his muscular physique glowing so brilliantly and beautifully from the sunlight; he now seemed so much more beautiful than any kind of god. He was in the most perfect shape, with the most perfect body, but with exception of the scar on his chest, in the shape of the Quincy Cross, that he recieved from getting his powers returned to him. But, Ashley could just ignore that and admit he does have the most perfect body, if she could see him now. Shaking his head in hopes of erasing away his continuing head throbbing, Uryu then stripped down his sweatpants, kicking them out of the way, infront of the bed-frame; his soft, silky white legs were just as perfect as his upper body was. Now wearing nothing but his under garmets, he began to change in his fastener shirt and pants: he quickly started with his black pants, as graceful as he was, with no problems at all. Then he slipped on his fastener shirt so very easily, not bothering to button it up, yet.
Uryu then walked around the bed, his sweatpants still laying on the floor inanimately, as he went down and picked them up from the ground, along with his shirt as well that still layed on his bed. He threw both of them in the under drawer of his closet, hoping he would remember to wash them later in the day, or before he went to bed. Quick in his actions as he usually is, Uryu zipped his shirt almost all the way up, stopping right underneath his collarbone. Remembering his glasses on the table behind him, Uryu so very gracefully took a spin on his heel, and made his way over to the table. He sat at the edge of his bed, very gently picking up his glasses and placing them on his nose once again, pushing them up with his index and middle finger. After everything was finally done, he was fully dressed, and everything is where it's supposed to be, Uryu exited his room and descended down the stairs, towards the kitchen. Uryu's unbelieveably hurtful words he screamed at Ashley yesterday, still ringed in his ears, and he couldn't help but hate his very self for doing such a thing to her. He would do anything he wanted to for her, in a way to make-up for yesterday's unforgettable events. Absolutely anything.
Back in Ashley's room, she still slept very peacefully, while the birds chirped loudly outside of her window. As the blinding sunlight finally beamed down upon her sleeping face, she squinched her eyes tightly, pulling the cover all the way over her head. "Ugh...no, go away, stupid sun..." Whenever the bright light had dimmed a bit, Ashley opened her eyes slowly, to be welcomed with a light covering over everything in her room, and birds chirping playfully outside her window. As her eyes started to become more focused with the sunlight, Ashley steadily sat up from her bed, her hair tousled in every way, as she looked around her surroundings; everything seemed as it was before, but Ashley couldn't help but think that something was missing. Ashley then looked down at the opposite side of the bed she was sitting on, to see that the mattress sheet was wrinkled in every possible way, and the pillows were arranged very sloppily and they were also wrinkled.
Then it suddenly came to her, in an instant: The horrible nightmare about Yoshino taking Uryu away from her, Uryu sleeping right beside her all through the night, laying so close beside her, humming beautiful lullabies to her to extinguish her fears, his strong arms wrapped tightly around her so protectively... Uryu...he was really here, beside me all night...wasn't he? He never left, he stayed... Ashley couldn't help but smile so happily by her revolving thoughts of Uryu, sleeping beside her all through the night, never leaving, always staying. Ashley then picked up the pillow that was arranged wrong, and hugged it very close to her chest; she couldn't help herself, as she took in a very deep sniff in the pillow. It smelled just as Ashley would have imagined what Uryu would smell like: it was an indescribable smell. Was it the smell of apples? Or cinnamon? Or was it freshly scented apricots? Whatever it was, it smelled so absolutely delightful to Ashley. His smell... Ashley began to get lost in thought, a small blush forming on her cheeks. It's just so intoxicating. It's such a wonderful, beautiful smell. I love it so much...I love it...I love...Uryu...
"Oh, wait..." Ashley stopped in her actions then, placing the Uryu-scented pillow back where it was, as she gazed her eyes all around her room; she found nothing but silence and emptiness. "Where'd Uryu go?" After moments and moments of silence and ticking of the wall clock, Ashley finally jumped out of her bed, walking her way toward the door and into the hallway. She didn't bother to close the door behind her, as she walked across toward Uryu's room, whose door was shut tight. Carefully and timidly, Ashley knocked her small fist against the door, just in case Uryu was in there and didn't want to be bothered. "Uhm, Uryu? Are you in there?" Ashley called out in a certain volume so he could hear her, but there was no kind of sound from the other side; she tried to knock and speak louder this time, but there was still no answer what so ever.
Giving up and thinking he must've been in the kitchen or sitting on the couch in the living room, Ashley descended downstairs to hopefully meet up with him. Before she took a step down on the last stair-step, Ashley gazed over at the kitchen table, which was just a few big steps away from her, and saw Uryu there: he was sitting there quietly, almost unfrozen. Except for his hands, which were continuing to go in a repeated motion, as if he was sewing something. Uryu...I wonder what he's sewing? Ashley began to wonder, as she finally stepped down on the wooden floor, slowly walking toward where Uryu was. Becoming more closer to him, Ashley could easily recognize that Uryu was in his normal clothes: white fastener shirt, with black pants, instead of his school uniform which confused Ashley so. It was Thursday, right? She began to wonder.
Ashley was just behind Uryu now, a few inches away, as she then saw him stop what he was doing and stand back up, pushing the chair back. Ashley let out a gasp from Uryu's sudden move, as she took one small step back. Uryu, unfortunately, heard her small gasp, as he tilted his head over his shoulder, to see Ashley there, her hands up over her mouth. "Oh, Ashley," Uryu said as calmly as he could, as he turned around to face her, and at the same time kept his back close behind the table, his hands behind his back, as if he was hiding something. "Um, good morning. How'd you sleep?" Trying to ignore what she was witnessing as of now, Ashley walked over toward the kitchen counter, and sat in the nearest stool next to her; she shrugged away from Uryu's question, "Uhm, good. Just good, thanks." Uryu smiled a soft smile, quite relieved of it, "Oh, that's great. It's...good to hear that."
"What about you, Uryu?" Ashley had asked suddenly, which made Uryu look at her with a curious and bewildered look. "H-Huh? What about me?" Ashley had no choice but to laugh to herself quietly from Uryu's sudden confusion. "I mean, how..." Ashley could feel a slight blush starting to form on her cheeks, "How did you...sleep?" At first, Uryu's mouth dropped open, but no words came out; truthfully, last night was one of the best nights he's ever slept in, for it's what he's always wanted: just to be close to Ashley as he was. And then, Uryu smiled absolutely calmly, letting out a small chuckle, "Oh, me? I slept just wonderfully, thank you." From just seeing Uryu smile, Ashley smiled; she felt such relief to know that Uryu slept just as good as she did. Ashley sighed in, closing her eyes just for a few seconds, as she said, "That's so good to hear. I'm glad." Ashley reopened her eyes then, to see that Uryu still had that gorgeous smile on his face, just as she did.
After a moments of silence, Ashley finally jumped off of the stool, and timidly walked toward Uryu; the closer she got to him, the louder her heart thudded in her chest. "I want to tell you something, Uryu," Ashley began, hearing nothing but the sound of her pulsating heart. "Of course." Uryu answered immediately, "What is it?" Ashley wanted, wished for nothing but to take hold of Uryu's soft hand and never let go, but she knew that she couldn't ever do such a thing...not ever. Ashley was about to say what she had wanted to say, but she suddenly could not find her voice. Uryu, as Ashley was going through her revolving thoughts, intently gazed down at her with his marvelous, magical, sparkling blue eyes; nothing in the whole world would make him look away from her now. "Uhm...Ashley...?" Uryu called out to her, just now noticing how quiet and frozen she suddenly became. In a quick instant, Ashley dropped out of her thoughts and looked up at Uryu with sudden, wide eyes, "Uryu! Y-Yes...?"
Uryu couldn't help but let out a small chuckle behind his hand as he said, "You just said you wanted to tell me something?" Ashley then jumped back from Uryu's statement, as if it all came back to her, "Oh, y-yes! Right! Uhm, s-sorry, I kind of spaced out a little there..." Uryu could not help himself but smile so sweetly by Ashley's sudden tentativeness, while Ashley became bewildered on why Uryu was smiling so incredibly beautifully. "W-Well," Ashley began, hesitatingly, as Uryu slowly leaned his bottom back against the edge of the table, his hands also gripping the edge for support. "It's about what you did last night, for me..." Ashley had started out with a shaky voice, but she soon calmed down and her voice was back at her normal volume. "It was just so frightening before you came in: that horrible nightmare which I wish I could just forget about, just the thought of actually leaving you...it's impossible. I--Uryu, you must know, no matter how selfish it may sound, I do not want to go back to my world; I want to stay here. It just...it just really, really scares me to even think of you not being here when I wake up."
Uryu suddenly felt such remorsefulness for Ashley now, as he watched her quickly rub away any tears that dared to fall down her face. Along with his remorse, Uryu also felt just alittle bit of happiness inside of him: happiness that Ashley wanted to stay with him, to never leave even if she was forced to; Uryu easily imagined someone forcefully pushing Ashley toward the entrance to her world, and Ashley pulling her way out, rushing her way, frantically, toward Uryu, and both of them embracing each other for dear life. "I'm sorry," Ashley said, which made Uryu snap out of his thoughts quickly; Uryu looked at Ashley, her eyes just a pinkish color from rubbing away the tears--it hurt Uryu terribly from seeing that. "I shouldn't bother you with such trivial things; I know you don't really care about any of my--"
"That's not true." Uryu said as calmly as he could, remembering what he had done last night. Uryu had slipped away from the table and infront of Ashley in an instant, taking hold of her shoulders, as lightly as he could. "That's not true, Ashley; it's not," Uryu repeated, as Ashley looked up at him, with her swollen eyes, as a soft blush started to form on her face. "Anything you say to me, anything that's important to you, means the entire world to me. Truthfully, if you can believe it, I actually thought that you wanted to go back to your world; you have no idea how frightened I was, because of that. I want you to stay, here, with me, more than anyone else. I'm so glad that you feel the same way, so glad," Uryu paused for a short time, but continued, as he slid his hands from her shoulders, down to her mid-back, gently pushing Ashley into a warm embrace, "I swear it, Ashley. I swear it to my soul."
"I understand, but," Ashley was finally able to find her voice, as she timidly wrapped her small arms around Uryu's waist; that wonderful, indescribable smell about him entered through her nostrils, "What do you mean by, 'swear it'? What is 'it'?" Uryu couldn't help himself but smirk by Ashley's confusion, for he had to actually ask himself that question, before he even realized the actual truth of it. I swear...I swear that I will not ever, not even for a second, will not stop feeling for her as I do now; even when she returns to her world, I will always, always feel this...this strong emotion I have for her...and this emotion I feel every single time I see her smile--what's it called again? Is it passion? No. Is it friendship? Not even close. Is it...could it be...? It must be; what else can it be? But I've never felt this way, ever since... Uryu tried to erase it away, make up excuses for something else that wasn't even close to it, but he soon gave up on that and actually admit it to himself: he, Uryu Ishida, was in love with her, Ashley Spencer. Nothing will ever change that fact.
"Uryu...?" Ashley mumbled through Uryu's chest, as her palms started to sweat from clinging onto him for so long, but it wasn't such a bad thing since she could still smell his intoxicating aroma so easily. Uryu soon snapped out of his thoughts from hearing Ashley's voice, as he tightened his grip around her; Ashley had to grip Uryu's sleeve, in hopes that he wouldn't choke the life out of her. "Ashley, I...I...so badly, I...." From just listening to Uryu's frantic, shaky, voice, Ashley could easily distinguish that what Uryu wanted to so badly tell her, was not something that was easy for him to say, to admit. Ashley wanted nothing more to make Uryu feel as he makes her feel; to make him feel that he can tell her absolutely anything, without any hesitation in his heart. So, Ashley relaxed herself in the embrace, even though Uryu's strong arms were so tight around her, as she softly patted Uryu's shoulder from behind him, and said softly, "Uryu, it's fine. It's just fine. Whatever you want to 'so badly' say to me, then I can assure you that you can tell me and I promise you I will understand...no matter what it is. No matter what. If you tell me that you've accidentally, or even intentionally, killed or maimed someone, then I'll just say, 'Where do you keep the shovels?' With no kind of hesitation anywhere in me...and definitely not in my heart. If you feel like moving away to somewhere else, with no explanation, then I'll just say, 'Alright. I'll go pack my things.' Uryu, all I just hope is that you can trust me to tell me anything that troubles you. Absolutely anything. Anything."
Uryu couldn't help, even through his troubles, but smile so warmly by Ashley's kind words. Uryu finally loosened his grip on Ashley a little bit, as Ashley couldn't help herself but release a gasp of air. "Thank you so much, Ashley. Thank you," Uryu said so quietly, as he leaned down his head, laying it on top of Ashley's, "Now, thanks to you, I have no doubts about it anymore." Now starting to feel a bit frustrated about the 'it' being repeated, Ashley mumbled, childishly, while pounding her fists on Uryu's chest, "Aw, Uryu!! Would you please stop it with the 'it' thing, and tell me about it already?!!! You're killing me!!! Gah!" Uryu had no choice but to laugh in that beautiful, melodic tone that Ashley loved so much, as he patted the top of her head a few times, "Ha ha, oh, I'm so sorry, Ashley; you're an impatient one, aren't you? Alright, I guess you do deserve to know so I'll te--no, you know what? How about I show you instead? Will that...be all right?" Show? What did he mean by that? Ashley wondered constantly, as Uryu finally released his grip on her, "Oh, um, yeah, okay." Ashley nodded to Uryu, looking up at him to see him with that heart-breaking smile, but it also seemed like he was about to hesitate, just as she almost did.
Carefully and gently, Uryu placed his hands on Ashley's shoulders, taking a short pause before he said so quietly, "Please forgive me if you don't accept it; I apologize to you beforehand." And at this point, Ashley had no kind of doubts at all, on what he was going to do, all before he made his move. "Forgive me..." Uryu whispered once again, as he slowly leaned his face toward Ashley...just slowly. The closer Uryu got, the tighter he gripped Ashley's shoulders, and also the more and more impatient Ashley became. Ashley has wanted this beautiful, wonderful moment to come true for so long, for so many years. It's all she's ever dreamed of in her world, and even in Uryu's world; she has never found herself dreaming anything else. Ashley was just getting off of the edge of screaming at Uryu to kiss her now. Kiss me, kiss me now, Uryu. Dammit, stop teasing me, already! Ashley's mind was just screaming in such impatience for such passion she's waited so long to have. When will the time come when Uryu finally stops wasting time and makes a move? The wait seemed unending to Ashley. But, finally...
Uryu decided not to waste anymore time. He's tried so many other times to make his move on Ashley, but there were too many interuptions: the school bells, arrancar and Espada attacks, spiritual pressure, Ichigo, but not this time. Uryu could care less if the world just suddenly collided together around him and Ashley; he was going to do what he wanted to do for so long. Uryu slid his soft hands over Ashley's jaw-line then, moving in, closer and closer. Uryu's lips were just inches, inches away from Ashley's, as he suddenly stopped. (Again?) But, Ashley wasn't going to let him stop anymore; she wanted what he wanted, after all. Such impatience filling in her, Ashley slapped her hands on Uryu's face, and so eagerly and forcefully pulled him close to her, both their lips crashing onto one another. Uryu was actually shocked for a second a two, as he actually almost lost balance from Ashley's sudden move. But he was soon able to calm himself easily, as Uryu moved his hands on the back of Ashley's head this time, entangling his fingers in her hair, as he made the kiss even more deeper.
Ashley couldn't believe what was happening. Was she dreaming again? Was this all true? She couldn't wrap it all around her head, no matter how many times she told herself: she was kissing Uryu Ishida. It was all real, just as she has wanted, and her dream finally came true. And through all of this, without her even knowing, silent tears rolled down Ashley's face, partially from happiness, but Uryu noticed them when he felt her tears stick to his face. Quickly, Uryu finally parted away the eternal kiss, as he looked down at Ashley in worriment, as he saw her quickly rub away the remaining, flowing tears. "Ashley," Uryu called to her, as he gently grabbed her hands, that were still wiping away the tears, and putting them around his soft and warm hands, while he tenderly rubbed her sweaty palms with his thumbs. "I'm so, so, terribly, honestly, sorry, Ashley. I had no idea that this would ha--"
"No, Uryu," Ashley's voice cracked a bit, as she interrupted Uryu. "It wasn't you at all, Uryu. Not at all. It's just that...that I...I..." More tears soon sprang out of Ashley's eyes once again, as she started to sob and sniff for a while before she continued, "I love you so damn much, Uryu! I really, really do!! It was just all too much for me to think that you actually feel the same way, for me, of all people. It really scared me so much when I first found out about that I was in love with you, Uryu; I found out when I first arrived here, but, in actuality, I've loved you for a whole lot longer than that. Back in my world, for God knows how many years, I've loved you more than my own life, more than anyone else I know. I guess it all just took for me to see you in real life, live with you for a month and a half to actually realize it for myself. Thank you, Uryu; thank you so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Thank...y-you..."
With that tearful and emotional speech finally made, Ashley could feel her knees underneath her weaken, as she felt herself slip down to the floor, and Uryu with her as well, since he still had a hold on her hands. "Oh, Ashley," Uryu finally spoke, his voice, also, on the verge of cracking. "Please don't thank me; I don't think I even deserve to be loved so much by someone as wonderful as you. I'm the one who should be saying, 'thank you', not you; for being here for me, through such troubling times, for your kindness, for opening your large heart at me. You've done so much for me, that there's no doubt in my mind that I don't deserve it. At all," Uryu said in the most sweetest voice Ashley has ever heard, as Uryu gently started to wipe away Ashley's running tears, with the back of his hand, "So, please, Ashley, no more tears. Please. I love you, Ashley, so very, very much."
That last statement that Uryu declared, just made Ashley smile so unbelievably huge. Her tears still flowed down unendingly, but, from this moment, Ashley felt her utmost happiest. "Oh, Ishi-kun!!!" Ashley squealed in that same happiness, as she tackled Uryu down in a tight hug around his neck, which made him fall backwards, on his back. "Hey, now," Uryu laughed along with Ashley, taking one of his hands around her waist, as his other one supported himself to sit up. "I'm not as nimble as you think I am." Ashley smiled so absolutely childishly, as she pulled her hands up and placed them gently on Uryu's face, raising them slowly up to his temples, and then carefully slipping his glasses off of his face. "Ashley, wh-what are you--"
"Shh, now," Ashley said in a whispered tone, pressing her index finger against Uryu's soft lips. Placing Uryu's glasses just behind her, Ashley leaned her whole front toward Uryu, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Both her and Uryu's lips collided with each other again, while Uryu roamed his hands up and down her back, repeatedly; such a thing brung major chills upon Ashley's spine. Without releasing the kiss, Uryu changed his sitting position, as he was now sitting on his knees, pushing Ashley closer to him; and while Ashley had now put her hands behind his head, pulling at the short hair strands.
Finally, as it seemed like a total eternity, Ashley and Uryu parted away from the kiss, both of their foreheads touching one another. "This is all too perfect; if this is just another one of my dreams, Uryu, then please don't wake me. Let it last just a little bit longer." Uryu nodded along with her, as his magnificent blue eyes twitched and squinched here and there; Ashley could only imagine how blurry his sight must be now, without his glasses on. "Oh, I'm sorry, Uryu," Ashley apologized, as she picked up Uryu's glasses from behind her, carefully placing his glasses back on his face. Uryu pulled back his glasses when Ashley put them back on him, pushing them up to his nose with his index and middle fingers, "Thank you, Ashley; this is so much better, " Uryu smiled beautifully, taking Ashley's face in his hands once again, placing a soft kiss on her forehead, "Now I can clearly see that beautiful face of yours. By the way, what, exactly, was the point of taking my glasses off?" Ashley couldn't help herself but giggle and blush a pinkish color from Uryu's previous question, looking up at him shyly, "Heh heh, well," Ashley stretched out the 'well' jokingly, as she placed one of her hands underneath Uryu's jaw-line, holding his chin in her hand, "I couldn't help but, since I always kind of thought that you look unbelievably sexy without them; it's sort of the same way with them on, also."
"Oh, is that so?" Uryu smirked slowly, obviously trying what he can to turn Ashley on, as he slid his hands all the way down to her bottom back, "Well, I can't completely disagree with that, now can I?" Ashley had no choice but to laugh so loudly by that, as she gave a quick peck on Uryu's lips, "I'd call you crazy and say that me and you need to start a strong debate over your sexyness immediately." Uryu's smile was bigger this time, the biggest Ashley has ever seen, his wonderful, beautiful teeth glistening ever so brightly, "You think so, do you? Well, you're on."
Ashley and Uryu continued what they were previously doing afterwards, but this time they moved over toward the couch. Their own kind of make-out session continued, but this time they didn't stop: but only for bathroom breaks, lunch breaks, and, of course, a few breathing breaks here and there. But, other than that, nothing in the world would make them stop. Not even Aizen, himself, could stop them. Their love for each other were much more stronger than any other kind of Espada, and their passion was way more sharper than any kind of blade or arrow. But, well, they did manage themselves to stop if they knew they were going just a little bit too far...
