Short drabble is short, sorry. Next one (last one!) will be longer, I promise. I'll try and make it extra-special :D

I don't own Bleach, or else these two would be canon.

Chapter 19: Shinji's POV


"You know, when you see a shooting star, you're supposed to make a wish," you told me as we sat upon a grassy hill. Earlier today you had said that the weatherman predicted a meteorite shower, so we had come to watch.

"Oh really? How does a meteorite grant a wish?" I retorted, slightly bored by the entire thing.

"Idiot, the meteorite doesn't grant it; it's just… you're just making a wish."

"Hm." I leaned back on the grass, using my arms as a pillow.

"So what are ya wishing for?" I asked you after a moment.

"It's supposed to be a secret," you said quietly.

I turned onto my side to look at you. "But Ichigo, how's the wish gonna come true if no one knows what it is?"

I let my lips curl up slightly as you stared at me for a whole minute, eyes wider than usual. A minute later your ordinary frown snapped itself back into your features.

"Tch. Go back to being a dumbass."


I guess sometimes we need other people to make our wishes come true.
