Hitsugaya x Luppi Drabble Collection

Story 4 - Offspring (456 words)

The sun felt like torturing Karakura Town with heat today, leaving most indoors or enjoying the waters. The Tenth Division Captain and his Temporary Espada spent the day enjoying cool flavours at an ice cream parlour. Their table was starting to gather a nice collection of sundae bowls and parfait cups.

Holding a long spoon and skimming the top of his treat, Luppi looked outside to see a couple pushing a stroller that had tiny legs kicking from the shade it made. He let his eyes follow them until they reached a corner. Sticking the spoon in his mouth, he kept his gaze outside and asked, "What would our baby look like?"

"You might look like a girl, but it's not happening." Hitsugaya mixed the contents of his bowl before taking a spoonful, "Why would you want a child anyway?"

The taller boy frowned and pointed his spoon at his boyfriend, "I'm not saying I want one, I'm just wondering what they would look like. Huh, what would their gender be...?"

"Male." If their child was going to be any gender, it was definitely male. Hitsugaya wasn't going to deal with a large busted daughter.

"That's a start," Luppi gave a small smile as he scrapped at the bottom of his cup. "Now what's he going to look like? I was thinking your eyes and my hair. Except maybe a little longer. Oh! And he should have that bang of yours," he giggled out the last part.

Rolling his eyes, Hitsugaya kept eating as their conversation went on. By the time they decided that their child was going to be 'an above-average soccer star who everyone will love (but will have rivals, of course) with black sorta long hair with a bang that'll have white highlights in it, teal eyes and the sort of baby face that'll make him adorable but intimidating (Oh, and probably a tattoo that we'll never know about for a good three years),' the parlour was starting to close. They paid and left, greeted by cooler air than what the day had started with.

As they walked, the shorter of the two held his head and winced. Luppi stopped and turned to face him.

"Is something wrong? Did you eat too much and get that frozen brain-thing?"

"Brain freeze, and no." Hitsugaya shook his head and said, "We're going to find a place that makes Bananas Foster."

"Why? What is it?"

Hitsugaya gave a smirk, "It's a dessert with rum in it. And all this talk about kids makes me want to drink, but I'm not getting caught going in some bar."

The Arrancar laughed, "You're a real daddy, Taichou."
