Your last treatments are coming up. You've gotten a lot better. It's been a few hours since you've seen Ichigo. He's all you can think about. Though it concerns you. Your life in the world of the living has given you serious trust issues. But you also feel that there would be no one else you can trust except him. As you were daydreaming about Ichigo, Hanatarō was just finishing healing you up.
"All done. How do you feel?" He asked.
"Wonderful. Thank you."
"It was my pleasure. Any friend of Ichigo's is my friend. Well I'm going to leave you be to rest some more. You'll only need to be here for one for day just to make sure you're all healed." 
Hanatarō then waved and walked out the door. You dozed off once more with the relief that Ichigo is safe.

At the same time, Renji walks into Ichigo's room to a very awake Ichigo laying on the ground.
"Renji, what are you doing in here?"
"I know what you're thinking about." Renji said sitting down.
"Yeah? Go ahead tell me." Ichigo replied.
"Her. In there."
"What?! No... You're- you're going crazy."
"Ichigo, shut up. You're terrible at lying about things."
"It's true." Rukia said coming into the door. "What are you calling Ichigo out on Renji?" She asked while smirking and going to sit down next to them. "The girl?"
"SHUT UP!!!" Ichigo yells. "It's nothing. Really."
"Quit lying Ichigo. I will never forgive you if one more lie comes out your mouth." Rukia threatened.
"*sigh* fine. Yes, I can't get her out of my head. I barely know her at all. But I knew the moment I saw her in the Rukongai."
"Go talk to her then. She's just over there."
"Hell no."
Rukia then shot up, grabbed Ichigo by the ear and dragged him to the door.
"Go" she said giving him a little push.

Squeeeeak

You begin to wake up to your door opening very slowly. You rub your eyes then see a tall orange haired person walking towards you slowly.
"Damn, I didn't mean to wake you up." Ichigo said extremely shy like.
"It's okay. I actually wanted to see you." You say without thinking about it.
"Really??!" He replies very cute like.
"Can I be honest?" You ask.
"Go ahead."
"You've- um- you've been on my mind. I can't- I can't seem to get you out of it. I- " you were then interrupted by an abrupt hug. You were stif at first, surprised. Then you let out a sigh and relaxed. He embraced you even closer. You could feel his immense spiritual pressure is already regaining itself. You never thought in your whole existence you'd be so close to someone who was this strong. You've felt the safest you've ever felt, ever. He begins to let go.
"I'm sorry-"
"No! Ichigo. I- I loved it. Every second of it."
He then had the biggest smile on his face.
You tilt your head over and can see Renji and Rukia watching from outside of the door, smiling themselves. You decide its best not to tell Ichigo this considering how flustered he can get when confronted by others on things like this.
You two begin to talk. About your lives. All night long. You learn that he has two sisters and a dad in the world of the living and that he is actually a high school student. He told you how he got here. His entire journey and how that one night with Rukia was the one that started it all and so much more.
You two talked all night until you couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep next to each other.
