Ichigo x Rukia

Distractions

I groaned as I took out my work. I hadn't realized how much my homework has been piling up every time I'm at the Soul Society for two or three days at a time. I sat on my chair and got out my math work. I sighed.

I have to do five pages in my text books, each page with twenty to thirty problems. A couple of worksheets helps with adding more homework to the pile. Then I've got an essay to write for reading class. I wouldn't mind doing all of this of course. If it wasn't due tomorrow.

I looked at the time. It was nine, almost ten. I looked down at my work. Thirty questions to do. I picked up my phone to set my self a timer. I wanted to be done with this in five minutes or less. "Ok. I got this." Only a short moment afterwards, the door to my room opened.

"Hey Ichigo." I turned around and smiled, happy to see Rukia. I put my phone on silent.

"Hey." She went into the closet to get her pajamas. It was her usual routine. I shifted in my seat to get a peak at her undressing. She left a small crack of the closet door open. She came out scowling playfully.

"And what are you looking at?" She said. She walked towards me to greet me and kissed me. As she pulled away, I cupped her face and kissed her again. We continued for another minute or so until she broke away. She was looking at my desk. "You got a lot of homework."

"Yeah." I said unenthusiastically. I had my arms around her waist.

"Shouldn't you be finishing it?" She smirked. I sighed. Instead of turning back to my homework, I brought Rukia into a hug and buried my face in her chest.

"Yeah." I said with a muffled voice. She kissed the top of my head then pulled away, jumping onto my bed.

"Well hurry up then." She said with a slight smirk. I checked the time. It was getting later.

I was half way through a math problem when I turned my attention to Rukia. She was on her stomach laying on my bed while reading a book and kicking her feet slowly. I put my pencil down and squinted to see the title of the book. "Didn't you read that manga already?" She looked over at me and nodded her head.

"Yeah. It's really good and I'm bored. Your taking forever to finish your homework."

"I know." I picked her up and laid down in her spot. She put the book down and rested her head on my chest. She then put her leg around me and pushed her way up. She began kissing me softly.

"You really should stop getting distracted and do your work."

"Yeah? Your not helping." We stayed like that quietly for a while. I got another glance at the manga and remembered something.

"Hey you know the next volume is out."

"Really!?" Rukia exclaimed with bright eyes.

"Yeah I saw it at the book store the other day. I meant to tell you." She quickly got up. I frowned, missing her warmth. She opened the door to leave. "Oi? Where're you going?"

"To the book store. It opens late, and your dad always insists on giving me some money." I nodded.

"Ok, but you can't go like that. It's kinda cold outside."

"What do you..." She looked down and remembered she was wearing her pajamas. "Oh." She went into the closet and was out in seconds, wearing a simple t-shirt and pants. As she was walking out I called for her.

"Wait Rukia." She stopped in her tracks.

"Yeah?"

"Gimme a kiss first." She smiled and walked over to me. Rukia kissed me softly, and when she pulled away, I brought her back into another kiss. "Make sure to bring a sweater."

"Make sure to finish your homework." She grabbed my sweater from my dresser and waved from behind.

I got up from my bed and sat at my desk. I finished the first question. My homework stared back at me.

"Ok. Making progress." One done, twenty-nine more to go.

Fin.
