A/N: ambiguity overdose, nah but if you're a fangirl, you'll get it. ;D
Reasons
Ichigo + Rukia
"Why did you do that?"
"I want to."
Ichigo doesn't wait for reasons to come. He simply blurts out the first thing on his mind.
Even if that reason wasn't reasonable.
"Ichigo-"
"I just want to, that's all."
Rukia sighs because he never gave her the real motives. As if he didn't trust her. He could have said something believable, at least.
But he didn't, and this was so damned messed up.
"I owe you."
Finally he says something she could believe in.
Well. He owes her.
Maybe, it really is simply that.
"And I had to do that."
Ichigo wasn't one for reasons. When he gives out something though, it was hard to understand.
"Because... I couldn't possibly bear seeing you that way."
Rukia lets him talk, for as much as she wants to understand him better, she knows that he wouldn't say it if he knows she can decipher his ways.
Sometimes he really is hard to decrypt.
But it was enough - that he saves her and tells her that.
Because Ichigo knows that impulse wasn't a reason for controlled, uptight Rukia - and although he knew he didn't tell her that he moved by impulse at that moment, he knows that the reasons he gave her were true.
That he owes her, kinda - that he had to do that, because he couldn't bear seeing her that way.
Those were reasons. And those were true.
"I just want to, okay? So shut up and don't be such a bitch about it."
That bit was also true. No matter how many unbelievable reasons he gives her, he'll never lie to her anyway. Reasons are different from excuses.
