HEY!!!! SOZ FOR THE LATE UPDATE! D8!!!!...

…

Momo's breath hitched when a pair of lips pressed gently on the corner of her mouth. So softly that she barely felt them there. However, upon the soft contact, her surroundings seemed to diminish, leaving her in her own little world.

"Momo?"

Her name that came out of his mouth was lined with hope and passion. She didn't have to ask him what he meant. She already knew what he was telling her just by looking into his eyes. Hitsugaya Toushiro, was never really a person of words after all. In reading and writing, yes. But talking seemed to be a completely different matter. Especially from the one now.

'She's not responding…'

His eyes softened when the girl in front of him failed to respond to his wordless confession. She was looking into his eyes but he didn't know if she was there. Silence engulfed the atmosphere to the point where it started to worry him.

'What is there to worry about? I've been rejected.'

"I'm sorry Momo. I-I didn't mean to… I just…" Toushiro knew exactly what he wanted to say to the brunette. Word by word. But he seemed to choke on his own voice. Heartbreak immediately took place in his heart and started spreading like a plague. "You know what? Just forget it. I shouldn't have done that in the first place."

The white-haired male began to turn around but stopped when he felt a soft hand wrapping around his wrist. His head turned to face the female he had confessed to. His jade eyes widened when he felt her soft, pink lips upon his own. He felt slender arms move up and wrap themselves around his neck. He instinctively, yet shakily, put his hands on her waist and moved his lips with hers.

Momo's hands seemed to move on their own as they reached up to tangle themselves his thick, white locks of hair. She gave out a small yelp of surprise and pleasure when his lips started moving to hers. She felt his lips tug upwards in a smirk against her lips. Or was it a smile? Well… it didn't really matter for now. Especially not now.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

The two quickly pulled apart and turned to the door. (Not to mention, they both inwardly groaned at the unwanted interruption.) Hinamori quickly straightened out the barely noticeable crinkles in her dress from where Hitsugaya's arms had wrapped themselves around her waist. She looked up when the door was opened.

Matsumoto stood at the doorway, quizzically eyeing the pair.

"You two okay up here?... everyone got curious 'cause it was… awfully… quiet…" The strawberry blonde asked the teens, an eyebrow lifted awkwardly. An unwanted awkward silence hung in the air as thick as a cloud of smog. "I'm interrupting something aren't I?"

Hinamori and Hitsugaya both froze like deers in the shining headlights of a giant landrover.

"I-"

"We-"

The two both clamped their mouths shut when they started at the same time. They then both opened their mouths at the same time again, causing them to shut them again. Rangiku quirked an eyebrow at their blushes. They seemed… too flustered. She thought she might have a few ideas of what they were doing (or talking about) but wasn't really sure. She'd let it pass and poke it out of the brunette later.

"Ah! You two are so cute! I just wanna eat you up! Omnomnomnomnom!"

Matsumoto engulfed the pair in what she considered a normal glomp, yet, still managed to suffocate the both of them at the exact same time. Toushiro started to wander if the senpai had a lawyer. Just in case if this was how he and Momo died. Which was actually, quite a possible outcome.

He struggled out of the death trap, pulling his crush out with him. They both gasped for air upon their escape. The two turned their heads towards each other before quickly turning away from each other, their blushes burning even more.

Rangiku sighed and ran a hand through her golden locks at the sight.

"You guys know what you need?"

The two teenagers both turned to their senpai.

"You need some coke and I found some donuts in the fridge…"

Momo opened the fridge and scanned the contents within the cold sealer.

'Three cinnamon donuts… and one chocolate… Hhmmm… cinnamon or chocolate? The question of which one has less sugar goes out the window seeming that it's too late to worry about that at this point today… I'll take… well… since there are three cinnamons and only one chocolate, I'll take a chocolate!'

The female quickly slammed the fridge door shut with her right hand while she took a bite out of the donut. Thick, chocolate icing gathered at her lips like lip gloss, which she quickly licked off.

'Another wonderful and logical decision made! Yay!'

"You look awfully happy for someone who just stole my donut."

Brown orbs shot up to meet a pair of teal ones. Their owner raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Exactly, what makes this your donut?"

Hitsugaya took a step forward towards his housemate until their noses touched. She felt her heart leap out of her chest when he smiled coyly.

"Because…" She shivered at the feeling of his breath fanning her ear and cheekbone. "…it is."

The boy quickly snatched the donut out of her hands and took a bite out of it as he turned on his heel to exit the kitchen. Momo's mouth fell open. "Hey! You can't do that, I had it first!"

"Thanks for the donut."

The female's eyes narrowed as her lower lip pouted. She huffed before quickly opening the fridge and tearing into a poor cinnamon donut rather ferociously. Her head whipped to look in the direction of the doorway when she heard laughing.

"Whuab?" ("What?")

"Aw! Hina-chan can be so cute even when she's furiously stuffing herself with a donut!" Matsumoto quickly ran to her kouhai and grabbed a napkin off the kitchen bench. She held the younger female still while she quickly wiped her face clean. "Seriously, what would you have done up until now without me?"

"Ahb babed obe my ohbab!" ("That bastard stole my donut!")

"Aw! No need to be so piped up over it! Here, have some coke!" The buxom teen poured the smaller female a glass of the fizzy drink and handed it to her.

Rangiku stared at Hinamori as she chugged it down. She quickly looked around before averting her eyes back to the person in front of her. If she was going to poke someone for information, now was the perfect time to do it.

"So what were you and Toushiro doing up there?"

The strawberry blonde watched in amusement as a small gush of coke choked out of the petite brunette's mouth. She quickly slapped her back a few times as she tried to regain her breath and stop her coughing. They both got down and wiped the coke off the floor before washing their hands.

The brown-eyed girl quickly looked up at her senpai. "You don't ask things like that when someone's not expecting it!"

"Ask things like what?"

"Huh?..."

"I only asked what you guys were doing up there, I never implied anything…" A sly smile of achievement started to grow on Matsumoto's face.

"Oh, I think you did!"

"Or maybe you just think I did because you did do something up there…"

There was a slight staring competition before Momo looked away, blushing.

--

GOAL! And Rangiku Matsumoto has won the battle!

–marching band comes in playing the "Ode to Joy" while confetti and fireworks fill the star-lit sky-

"So what did you guys do up there?"

She brunette quickly put her cup in the sink and started to march out of the room. "We did nothing!"

"Right…" The strawberry-blonde quickly reached forward and grabbed the younger girl's wrist and swivelled her around. She quickly leaned forward so that their noses were touching. "You sure it wasn't a bit like this?"

The victim was rendered too speechless to do anything. The smile widened on the older female.

"I'm taking that as a yes." The next second, she was gone.

Hinamori looked around for her, her eyebrows furrowed together. She "huffed" and leaned on the kitchen bench when she realised what had just happened.

"URHG! That's the second time today! Mou!"

Things possibly couldn't get any worse.

"Hey, Momo!" Renji yelled from the roof. If Momo had cat ears, they would have picked up. The brunette could also hear Matsumoto yelling at him from the front yard to get off the house. What was he doing up there?

"Are these fireworks?"

Her eyes widened. "RENJI! DON'T-"

BOOM!

"Wah!"

Thud.

A scream. Probably Rangiku. "Somebody call the ambulance!"

"Woa! His leg's fricking halfway twisted to Sunday!" Most definitely Ikkaku.

WHACK.

…

Bugger.

AHAHAHA… DON'T ASK WHY I DECIDED TO LEAVE THIS CHAPPY LIKE THAT… IT'S COMPLETELY UNLIKE THE WAY I HAD ORIGINALLY PLANNED IT BUT SCREW THE PLAN… XDDDD… AHAHAHA… I JUST FELT LIKE IT… XP…
