P- pool
Often during the night, Ichigo and his friends would hang out in Renji's basement for some guy time. All gathered around the pool table, the guys would play a few rounds of pool and some darts. It was a tradition the guys formed after high school and they all enrolled into the same college. Every Thursday night was their free night from school and their girlfriends. It was a slight challenge at first to convince the girls to let them have their guy's night, but it worked. Turns out the girls got together on the same night as the guys.
Dropping the last beer can into the trash, Ichigo falls back on the couch and listens to the conversation of plans. Summer had just started and the college kids decided to hang out as much as possible. Wanting to get out of town, Ishida and Chad worked together to book a big trip to Osaka and relax at the spa resort for the week. There was also a large beach around the area that was easy to walk to. It was overall, the best place the group of friends could reside in. "So does four rooms sound good?" Pulling out the laptop, Ishida prints out the reservations and all the inofrmation needed.
Lifting up the beer can, Renji looks around and watches all the guys lift their drinks up together too. "Let's cheer to this wonderful vacation that we are going on with our fine ladies. Cheers guys!" laughing at the lame attempt of Renji's speech, the guys enjoyed the rest of the night drinking and messing around.
Groaning painfully, Ichigo pulls the blanket up and over his face as the sun shines through the van window. It wasn't the greatest idea to drink crazily before the trip. Ichigo could feel the regret throughout his whole body as his head pounds. Leaning towards the left, Ichigo tries to rest his head on Rukia's shoulder. As he lets his head rest, Ichigo soon realizes that the shoulder he is resting on is muscular and firm. Opening his eyes, Ichigo is shocked to see that the shoulder he is on is the proud owner of Renji Abarai. Whipping his head up, Ichigo stares at Renji wide eyed and closes his eyes once again.
Shifting towards the other direction, Ichigo sighs in relief to find Rukia sitting next to him. "Come here and let me use you as a pillow babe." Leaning his head on the right person, Ichigo frowns to feel a small hand push his head back up. It was this action that made Ichigo want to throw the midget a thousand miles. 'You would just follow her and curl up in a ball with her under the covers.' Ichigo truly never liked the small voice in his head that said the truth. Rolling his eyes, Ichigo tries one more time and wraps his arms around Rukia to hold her still. Laying his head on top of Rukia, Ichigo whispers softly into her ear. "Please Ru, my head really hurts. Just let me rest, damn it." Rolling her eyes, Rukia lets Ichigo rest on her shoulder in peace.
Two hours fly by as Ishida steers the van to the destination of paradise. Slowing to a stop, Ishida sighs as he feels all his tense muscles in his back and legs. Two hours of driving is never a comfortable task. Unlocking the doors, Ishida turns around to see everyone peacefully sleeping in the seats of the van. Shaking his head, Ishida prepares to wake up everyone so they can settle into the resort. "Come on everyone. It's time to check in at the resort. I'm ready to go swim in this hot weather." Hearing that there is a pool, everyone's ears perked up.
Pulling the big shirt down, Rukia felt slightly uncomfortable walking with no shorts on over her bathing suit. Taking Ichigo's shirt, Rukia felt somewhat covered as they all stood outside by the pool. It was not known to anyone but Ichigo that Rukia was not a swimmer. Rukia never learned how to swim at all in her life, nor did she go swimming often. Looking nervously at the water, Rukia slowly steps back until she comes into contact with a muscular chest. Feeling arms around her waist, Rukia turns around to see a small smile grace Ichigo's face. Bending down close to her ear, Ichigo talks softly to Rukia.
"Are you going to go in the water? It seems a little suspicious to everyone that you will not go in." Feeling her face heat up in slight embarrassment, Rukia detaches Ichigo's arms off of her waist. Turning around, Rukia crosses her arms and looks to the side. Using his arm length to an advantage, Ichigo pulls Rukia over with him to the side. Trapping her on the corner of the building, Ichigo traps Rukia beneath his body. Lowering his head to be inches away from her face, Ichigo softly kisses Rukia's face.
First her left cheek, then her right. The kisses are soft and short as he travels around her face. Kissing up to her forehead, Ichigo goes back down to her nose. Finally after a few kisses, Ichigo hovers his lips right above her lips. "Come on midget, it can't be so bad. Just go swim with me and everyone. I'll hold you in the pool if you want." Lifting herself up by her toes, Rukia meets Ichigo's lips with hers in a sweet kiss to return. Looking at the amber eyes, Rukia smiles brightly and grabs Ichigo's hand. "Let's go swim then Strawberry."
Dipping her feet into the water, Rukia feels a little relaxed at having her ankles only submerged in water. Standing in front of her at a slightly lower height was Ichigo. Holding his hand out, he guides Rukia through the water. The water climbs up and reaches Rukia's waist. Now Rukia began to panic at the feeling of the water rise on her body. "Ichigo, I don't want to do this anymore. Can I just go relax on the lawn chairs?" Turning around, Rukia begins to climb out of the pool. She is abruptly stopped by a pair of strong arms hooking under her legs and arms. Ichigo cradles Rukia into his chest and walks towards the deep end of the pool. Punching and kicking as much as possible, Rukia splashes the water all over the place.
"Let me go! Let me go! Ichigo Kurosaki, listen to me! I want to get out of the pool." Giving Ichigo the puppy dog eyes, Rukia hopes to all the spirits that she will be let free out of the pool. Feeling Ichigo's arms move away from her body, Rukia is scared to see water all around her and nothing else. Frantically shaking, Rukia tries to get out of the water but fails as she slowly sinks to the bottom. Closing her eyes and calming herself as much as possible, Rukia accepts her fate of living in the bottom of the pool.
"Rukia, open your eyes. Hey, are you okay? Rukia, this is not the time to be ignoring me." Ichigo shakes Rukia as she stays silent. Rolling his eyes, Ichigo takes his fingers and opens one of her eyes. Seeing her respond to his action, he is glad that his girlfriend is still responsive. Flicking her nose, Ichigo laughs deeply seeing the frown on Rukia's face. Pulling her up close to his chest, Ichigo tightens his hold on Rukia. "That wasn't so bad midget."
Splashing water in his face, Rukia pushes herself away from Ichigo. Dog paddling slowly towards the shallow end, Rukia finally makes it to the edge of the pool. Spinning herself around to face Ichigo, Rukia sticks her tongue out like a little child. "Stupid Strawberry! You will pay for this" Laughing at the empty threat, Ichigo swims over to enjoy the rest of the afternoon with his favorite person.
Swim, swim, swim. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Please read and review c: It will be greatly appreciated by me and my pretty kittens. Cheers c:
