It was exactly 11months after the Thousand Year Blood War,the gang were now in college trying to persue their studies. Even after what they've been through,the changes they underwent,the teenagers were trying to pick up their lives and make something of themselves,try to forget about that tragic war and they were doing quite well.Well...not that well, somethings never seemed to change.
Isshin:GOOD MORNING ICHIGOOOOO!!!
Isshin sang ready to jump on his son's sleeping form but made a startled sound when said son suddenly kicked him into the cold,tiled floor.
Ichigo:(grumpy)The hell?! Don't you get tired of the same thing everytime?!
Isshin stood up quickly and smiled proudly.
Isshin:Never! Daddy's just making sure you haven't forgotten any of our lessons...and man, you're still good son!
The goofy man said slapping Ichigo so hard in the back he almost tripped, turning to his father clearly more pissed Ichigo resorted back.
Ichigo:Like hell I am! You're just looking for an excuse to make me your punching bag!
Isshin:Oh Ichigo, it's my token of love to you!
Ichigo:(sweat drops)What? Why can't you be like normal dad's out there and actually treat me like your son. I'M YOUR SON GOATFACE!
Isshin blinked several times before he ran out of the teenager's room, crying animatedly...
Isshin:Oh Masaki our son is so mean mean to me!!!
Ichigo:SHUT...UP!!!
A very annoyed Ichigo screamed before huffing in annoyance and willing away the small headache that creeped on him. His father was crazy-he knew that much,ever since he and his sister sisters were children that man never seemed to do anything sane, Ichigo even wondered what went through that man's head... but Ichigo knew better,he did. Sighing,he started towards the shower.
Yuzu placed a bowl full of scrambled eggs along with the other food filled bowls as Karin and Isshin helped themselves. Yuzu sat down and looked over to her father thoughtfully...
Yuzu:Is big brother up yet?
Isshin: Aren't my children just sweet? Checking on each other and-!
Ichigo:Shut up,Goatface. Mornin' Yuzu,Karin.
Ichigo said with a scowl on his face as he put his bag down and went over to sit next to Yuzu on the table,he lazily filled his plate and began taking small bites ...
Isshin:So... how's college son? Have you made a move on that cute friend of yours?
Ichigo:(confused)What are you talking about?
Isshin:Oh don't be shy Ichigo,afterall Orihime-chan is such a fine,fine girl!
Ichigo chocked on his food and coughed violantly,Yuzu stood up and quickly fetched him a glass of water which Ichigo gulped down as if there was no tomorrow.
Ichigo:...what?
Isshin:Huh?
Ichigo: You are so unbelievable! How could you think of Orihime that way?! Ew, you pervert.
Isshin: No,son it's normal ...
Ichigo:The hell it is! Orihime is like a sister to me...I would NEVER. Ew just...ew!
Isshin stared at his son dumbstruck. Was Ichigo blind? Orihime was a everything a man could want. Sweet,kind, loving,caring,what more could you ask for?! Or...or ...
Karin:(bored) When are you going to get it dad? Ichi-nii is gay and he has hots for that Ishida guy.
Isshin and Ichigo:What?
Karin rolled her eyes looking bored as hell.
Karin:Have you seen the way he acts when that guy is over?
Yuzu:(thoughtfully) Actually, Karin is right. Your eyes light up everytime he's here and you act very strange too.
Ichigo: Strange?
Karin:Yes...and it's gotten worse since you have come back from the Soul Society... you act like you're in control of him or something.
Ichigo:But I'm making sure he doesn't pull of something stupid like he did with Yhwach.
Karin:Are you really Ichi-nii?
Ichigo:What do you mean?!
Karin: You just turn into a control freak with the poor guy...no wonder he never comes around anymore. And I'm pretty sure he's avoiding you in campus as well.
Ichigo: Ishida is not avoiding me,we barely see each other because we're in different faculties. He's studying Medicine and I'm studying Literature. See?
Karin:(sigh)Yeah, keep telling yourself that Ichi-nii. And you know if I were him...I would stay far away from you.
Yuzu: Karin, don't talk to big brother that way!
Karin: (rolls her eyes)Whatever.
The twins went back to their food while Ichigo contemplated what his sister claimed but denied it,he was not controlling...as for Isshin...he remained unusually quiet as he stared at his only son seriously.
...this was going to be a huge problem if not prevented early.
Ichigo was walking to campus,it was not far from his home-just a 15 minute walk...not that far. The substitute was still bothered by what his little sister said no matter how hard he tried to deny it ... Ishida did seem like he was avoiding him. Deciding to go check him out and ask him himself,he switched paths and started towards Ishida's apartment.
The teenager was about to knock when the door suddenly flew open and another teenager bumped into him.
Reira:Yo,sorry bruh.
Blue,short spikes,dark skinned, the boy stood straight and stared him up and down before offering a smirk. Ichigo wanted to punch the guy. Who the fuck was he and what was he doing in Ishida's place...
...He wanted to kill him. Yeah,rip him to pieces.
Reira: Nice seeing ya!
The boy said waving goodbye and running away seeming in a hurry,teeth gritted Ichigo didn't even bother to knock and just walked straight in,a dark aura all around him. He walked inside looking for his friend when he found him in the kitchen, putting away clean dishes. Uryū was beautiful,too beautiful that if you didn't look at him carefully enough you'd mistake him for a girl.
With his raven hair,now long-problably down to the waist, perfect pale skin that was so healthy it had a glow into it,a lithe perfect form that made both men and women drool,he could almost imagine those thick glasses framing the most beautiful eyes ever. Eyes so blue,just like the ocean... maybe Ichigo did like Ishida afterall.
No ...
Scratch that...
Kurosaki was madly in love with Ishida.
Wiping his hands with the dishcloth Uryū turned around and gasped.
Uryū:You idiot ! You almost gave me a heart attack!
And their usual banter began,the two just couldn't last long without being on each other's throats ...
Ichigo:... yeah well you would have been spared if you didn't leave your door wide open!
Uryū:Yes but why the hell didn't you say something?!Who the hell stands behind someone for God knows how long without saying a word?!
Ichigo:...what are you trying to say about me?
Uryū:That you emit "stalker vibes",moron! You're creepy!
Ichigo:... yeah right! Says a guy who let strangers into his house like that!
Uryū:What. Are. You. Talking. About?!
Ichigo:Oh,you think I didn't see that stupid looking boy who just left your house right now?!
Uryū:(offended)Wha-stupid? You're the stupid looking one here Kurosaki and Reira is my boyfriend!
Ichigo suddenly paused and the air shifted from heated to deadly in seconds. Emotionless, Ichigo slowly, very slowly walked towards Ishida with a dangerously calm voice.
Ichigo: Ishida ...
He said,cold hands wrapping around Uryū's warm arm painfully. Uryū was sure he was going to bruise. Ichigo was not looking at him as he questioned coldly, voice mixing with that of his hollow...
Ichigo:...what did you just say right now?
Uryū:What?
Ichigo:(still calm) Are you deaf? I said say that again. I dare you.
He stated the last sentence, golden brown orbs meeting his own and Uryū felt cold, unpleasant chills run down his spine. It was as if he was talking to Zangetsu (hollow Ichigo) and Ichigo at the same time...it was scary. Hell, Uryū was terrified.
Uryū: K-K-K-Kurosaki...w-w-what...what is going on?
Ichigo narrowed his eyes at him and tightened his grip on his soft skin. Ok,it was going to bruise.
Uryū:A-ah! You're hurting me, Kurosaki!
Ichigo seemed to snap out of it and moved away from the archer. He averted his eyes guilty and scratched his head, avoiding Uryū's glare.
Ichigo:Shit, I'm sorry Uryū I... don't know what came over me. I didn't mean to do that,I swear.
Uryū:(coldly)What do you want?
Ichigo: I... actually, I...I want...I want...
Uryū folded his arms and his winced at Ichigo, his lips in a thin line. Unamused.
Uryū:If you're trying to tell me that you're in love with me, I already know. You can leave now.
Ichigo:What?You ...
Uryū:Yes,I am aware. (sadly) That's why I'm staying away from you.
He mumbled in soft yet sad voice and stared at the floor. Ichigo didn't understand...
Ichigo:What do you mean? You don't love me back?
Uryū:No, that's not it. I do love you back, very much so.
Ichigo:(frowns) I don't understand,then why...?
Uryū:You love me too much.
Ichigo gasped and stared at Uryū who looked very sad with disbelief.
Ichigo:What the ... you're saying you can't be with me because I love you too much? What kind of an excuse is that? Love is good, isn't it?
Uryū shook his head furiously, looking even more devastated.
Uryū: When one loves another too much...that love becomes dangerous Ichigo.
Ichigo:What?
Uryū: You'll become possessive and obsessive over me,not that you're not already but still...it will get worse and you'll end up hurting me. I don't want that kind of love.
Ichigo:But...
Uryū: Kurosaki trust me, it's better this way.
Ichigo: Ishida I...
Uryū:You don't get it? Well here's an example: What if we do start dating or something,and then a year or so after I start losing all the love I have for you and want a break up?...What then?
Ichigo: I won't let you go.
Uryū:Why? I won't be in love with you anymore.
Ichigo:My love alone is enough to last for the both of us! You belong with me and no one else!
Ichigo paused at his words,realization dawning on him he gritted his teeth and looked away, Uryū pushed his glasses and sighed before walking away leaving a devastated Ichigo on his kitchen...
