Hey people! This is a bit of a fluffy drabble, so enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach or any of its characters. But... oh never mind.

Orihime stared at the board, her leg shaking impatiently for the bell to ring. Of course she loved school and took it seriously, but today just wasn't a day where her brain felt like thinking. At last, to her relief, the bell rang.

"Alright, kids! Don't forget to do your homework and have a great weekend!" Sensei yelled out as the teens rushed out of the classroom.

Orihime took her time packing, just happy that school was finally over for the day. To her surprise, there was someone waiting for her. It wasn't until she got up and finally looked up as well that she noticed she was alone in the classroom with a certain orange top boy.

"Kurosaki-kun! Why are you still here?" She asked curiously, walking over to him.

He seemed to be deep in thought, especially with the fact that he still hadn't packed his schoolbooks. The young healer stuck her head in front of the boy's face which caused him to finally get out of his stupor. He finally looked up, analyzing the person before him.

"Kurosaki-kun?" Orihime called out to him once again more out of concern than curiosity.

"I'll walk you home today, Inoue." Ichigo forwardly responded. Confused and shocked, Orihime opened her mouth to argue that it wasn't necessary, but before she could even mutter a word, he held up his hand.

"I want to walk you, and no it's not a burden for me to do so, if it was I wouldn't have told you that I was going to walk you home." He gave her his reserved mile and she grinned back. They both walked out together and quickly changed into their shoes.

All the while Orihime's mind was buzzing as to why her friend had suddenly wanted to walk her home. She was happy of course, but confused nonetheless.

The two teens passed the school gates and were finally on the path towards Orihime's apartment. It was quiet for awhile, neither knowing what to exactly say. At last Ichigo initiated small talk with a normal question.

"So, how have you been?" He glanced at her, but quickly averted his eyes in front of him.

"Pretty good, a little overwhelmed with all the schoolwork that I have to catch up, but the work is piling down. How about you, Kurosaki-kun?"

"Um… alright, I guess. I'm also doing my best to catch up on schoolwork, but I feel like something else is nagging at me, like as if I'm missing something important…" His voice then trailed off and Orihime gave him a questioning look.

To her dismay, they were on the last block before they arrived at her apartment. A slight frown appeared on her face, an uncomfortable sight to see from the usual bubbly girl. And Ichigo just happened to look at her to catch this frown.

"Why the sudden frown, Inoue?"

She blinked her eyes a few times, and replied with a question. "I was frowning?" He then chuckled and nodded and she only shrugged her shoulders and continued walking.

They finally stopped in front of her apartment and Orihime opened her mouth once more to say thanks and good-bye, but it fell short once she heard the words that came out of her beloved's mouth.

"You wanna go out on tomorrow?" He asked, not really looking at her with his hand behind his head.

"Wh-what?" Orihime mumbled.

"Do you… wanna go out… tomorrow…" Ichigo began to slightly sweat out of nervousness. Sure he could handle hollows and arrancars, but asking a girl out? Especially to ask out Orihime seemed to be an impossible task.

"I would love to." She smiled widely at him and giggled. Ichigo then chuckled and nodded more to himself than to her.

"Er, great… So, I'll pick you up at around 7…?" She smiled in approval and he started to walk backwards, waving in good-bye. "Alright, so, uh, see you tomorrow." Ichigo smiled his rare smile and she waved back, grinning as well.

"Until tomorrow, Kurosaki-kun!"

Orihime walked to her apartment while Ichigo walked towards his house, but both shared the same anxious and happy feeling, not knowing exactly what tomorrow might bring to the both of them.
