It happened out of the blue.

When the gossip that was going around his class was at its height no less.

Rangiku Matsumoto had the worst timing though this wasn't any news to Toshiro Hitsugaya.

The blonde just so happened to pop into his class during a lunch break. She did this despite the fact she went to another school and probably wasn't allow to be inside the junior high. She grinned brightly waving him down while calling his name in front of everyone.

Toshiro covered his face with his palms, he was so utterly humiliated. This would only fuel the rumors surrounding him from now on... A few nastier lies would probably be told about him after this. The albino didn't underestimate the bitterness of jealous school boys.

When he didn't go to her when called she went to him. Rangiku stood in front of his desk with her hands on her hips, she didn't give him much of a choice but to speak to her. Sighing Toshiro mustered up some courage to speak.

"What are you doing here?" Toshiro's blue eyes glared up at her. "This is my school you know?"

"I felt bad about our date the other day," Just the thing he needed her to say when all eyes were on them. Can you feel the sarcasm? "So I brought you this!"

Toshiro was a little surprised when she pulled out a lunch for him. He didn't vocalize his doubt because of his classmates watching. But he honestly thought Rangiku picked some stuff up at a hundred yen store. This stuff was probably not worth eating-.

Wait, her fingers are-...

"Okay! I should head back." Rangiku ruffled his white hair before turning on her heels toward the door.

"That is it?" Toshiro asked a little taken a back by her brief appearance.

"Well, yeah." Rangiku glanced back at him. "I had to come here during my own lunch break... Crap! I'mma be late for class!"

.oO1Oo.

Rangiku had run out of his classroom in a hurry.

Toshiro was now downstairs in an empty hallway. He needed to take a breather after a crowd of his classmates came around his desk to ask questions. They were annoying pests, was a gorgeous third year highschool girlfriend really worth it?

The boyfriend of that gorgeous third year highschool girl was now standing over a trash can. The lunch she made for him was hovering over the opened lid. This was probably going to taste terrible so it didn't matter right?

Her fingers had lots of band aids on them.

Was that from... Making this lunch for him? No way. He'd be a fool to think she'd go through all that trouble for him. If that was the case he'd scold her for being so clumsy. Cutting her fingers so making times while cooking, what an amateur.

After a short internal debate Toshiro was sitting against the wall next to the trash can. He was quietly eating the food Rangiku had prepared for him that day. He'd already eaten the first lunch he had prepared for himself that day. He never ate much yet here he was eating a whole new lunch.

Toshiro sighed before mumbling,

"It's good."
