Shiro's POV:

I could see his lips pull up into a barely noticable smirk before he strutted toward me slowly, not breaking eye contact. I could just barely notice the small amount of want and enjoyment in his eyes while my own widened in surprise. However, to my disappointment, he walked just in front of my bed and sat down in the recliner close to my bed and kept drying his hair as if nothing just happened. I blinked silently and covered my face in dark blue embarassment. I could just barely hear Ichigo's chuckle, which made me want to hide in a corner out of embarressment.

Oh god. Oh in the name of holy hollows please tell me that did not just happen. I mean I wouldn't complain but that was so embarrasing! And what did I see gleaming in his eyes! There's no way he likes or even wants such a failure to be his boyfriend. He would much rather go for someone like Tatsuki....right? I thought for a little longer before gathering a question to ask.

"I-Ichigo..." I could hear him reply with a quiet hum before I continued with my question. "D-did that just h-happen...?" He turned to me with a questioning face but I could still see that tiny smirk tugging at his lips. "Did what just happen?" I blushed again and looked down starting to fidget with the hem of my blanket.

"Y-you know......when you w-walked in and....and I s-stared and you smirked a-at me........." I looked up out of the corner of my eye to see him with that same smirk growing just a little more. "Oh. That. Well, I can assure you it did happen and if you want to remember it, you can. Yet you can also choose to... forget it...." I could see him frown at that last part. I freaked out a little seeing his eyes sadden and shook my arms and head.

"N-no! I mean, yes. I-I mean....." I shrunk back blushing a darker shade of blue, realizing what I just admitted to. I could just barely see Ichigo stand up and move closer to me. "Shiro, I was giving something quite a bit of thought while I was out of the room."

I looked up at him questioningly seeing him get closer before he continued. "Karin told me how strange I was acting since you got here and I decided she was right but I didn't know why." He was right next to my bed and I was listening intently wondering what he was going to say next. "I'm pretty sure I know but I feel like it's too soon to say for certain so I want to try something, if you would allow it of course." I looked at him before averting my eyes. "W-what do you w-want to t-try?" I felt his warm, slim fingers gently grab my chin and he turned my head to face him. My eyes widened slightly at the proximity of our faces and I could feel his breath mingling with my own shaky one. We could hear my heart beat rise on the monitor but neither of us paid any mind to it.

"Can I kiss you, Shiro?" My eyes widened even more and I stayed speechless. I could see the patience and want in Ichigo's eyes as he waited for my response. The only words I could form were "I-Is this really h-happening?" The question sounded barely above a whisper but I could see Ichigo smile just a little and before he nodded. "Yes. It is." His voice was also barely above a whisper and I stayed in a shocked state. I felt like I was going to pass out because this was finally happening. I couldn't seem to form any words so I just nodded slightly. He waited for a few seconds, giving me time to think it through some more but moved foward after I made no movements to reject the question. His nose brushed past my own and he tilted his head to the side before I could feel his lips on mine.

I closed my eyes the moment our lips touched, feeling how our lips just seemed to fit perfectly. I knew he was watching me but I could care less. I was finally getting something good out of my life and it happeed to be from the one I like most. He pulled away far too soon for what I would've liked but I didn't care as my dreams have just been fulfilled.

I could feel my lips part slightly letting out a shaky breath and I opened my eyes, still seeing him close to me. His eyes looked into my own and he smiled before letting go of my chin. "Thank you Shiro. Now, I'll think the rest of this over. Ok?" I nodded still feeling speechless and he turned around so he could walk back to his chair. I was suddenly filled with adrenaline from my want and grabbed his hand. He turned around about to ask something like 'what's wrong' but I pulled him to me crashing our lips together in another kiss. I could hear Ichigo grunt In surprise before he started kissing back.

This kiss was a little rougher and a lot less innocent holding much more passion than the first one. He quickly took over the kiss and I shivered when I felt his tongue trail over my lower lip. I pulled away in fear for him wanting to change his mind about this later, realizing he had made a mistake. I realized what I did then and freaked out again stuttering much more then before. "I-I'm so, so sorry I f-forced you i-into that. I-I didn't kn-know what I was d-doing. I j-just felt adrenaline and want a-and I kinda j-just kissed you a-again and-" I was cut off by yet again, another kiss. This one was sweeter, but short. "Shiro, calm down. Now tell me what happened again." Just as I was about to explain, we could hear the door start to open.

Ichigo muttered something under his breath before he quickly headed to his chair and acted like he was asleep. I turned away from the door and did the same thing hoping whoever was at the door wouldn't come to see if we were really awake. I heard the creak of the door opening before hearing a girl's voice. "They're asleep dad." I heard Isshin's voice next. "Alright, thank you Yuzu! Close the door and turn off the light." The next thing I knew, the room was dark with the exception of the moon light and the lights coming off of the monitors next to me. I heard the door close softly but stayed the same way for a few minutes.
