Ichigo x Orihime (Ended)

The Party

Orihime POV

After they got dressed we waited a little while until the rest of them came. There was Uryu, Chad, Tatsuki, and Keigo. We were all hanging out then Renji told us that we could go upstairs to play some games.

"Hey Ichigo I bet I could beat you upstairs!"

"Really? Then let's do it."

We got ready and started racing up and I was winning until I slipped and fell backwards. I landed on Ichigo and we both fell back to the ground.

"Are you okay Orihime?"

"Yeah I'm fine I landed on your soft body."

"Yeah well I landed on the hard floor."

"Oh yeah sorry."

I got off of him and we started slowly walking upstairs. Once there we turned on some games and hung out most of the night.

After an hour of playing games Rukia called us down for food. They all rushed down except Ichigo and I who had taken a nap so we were still half asleep. Uryu got there first because he used his flashstep. I've never seen him move so fast for food before. When everyone else got some food we got some.

We sat there eating and talking when I noticed Tatsuki and Chad talking and looking at us then giggling.

"Hey Ichigo, see them?"

"Sure do. Should I ask them what's so funny?"

"Sure let's do that."

We got up and walked over to them.

"Hey Chad, Tatsuki. What's so funny? You keep looking at Orihime and I and laughing."

"Oh sorry its just that...(giggles) when you two were sleeping, Orihime was sleeping on your shoulder and Ichigo was resting his head on your head. And every now and then you both would cuddle with each other."

After Tatsuki told us that we remained quiet and returned to our seats.

"So I was cuddling with you."

"Yep guess you were."

I could tell Ichigo was pretty embarrassed. I was too.

After awhile I saw Rukia and Renji come out of the kitchen carrying a cake. Everyone got quiet. The cake was very cute.

We all got our slices and continued talking. At about 11 O'Clock I started to get really tired so I decided to go. I told Ichigo and he also said he should get going because he had to clean his house. I think it was an excuse just so he could walk with me. We both said our goodbyes and left.

Ichigo POV

As we were walking home I saw Orihime every now and then sway to one side. She could barely keep her eyes open. Its a good thing its Saturday so I don't have work tomorrow.

"Hey Orihime. Are you still awake?"

"Huh? On yeah (yawn) I'm fine."

"If you would like I could carry you home?"

"I don't want to be a burden to you."

"No no its okay I would love to."

"Well okay. You may carry me home."

I came closer to her and went in front of her and kneeled down.

" Climb on."

She did as told and jumped on my back. She had her arms around my neck and her legs around my waist. I put my hands on her thighs so I could hold her better. For some reason though it didn't feel as awkward as it would be for any other person. It still felt weird but not as much.

As I continued walking I also began feeling tired even after the nap we had earlier. The thing that kept me going was the soft breathing in my ear from her. She had fallen asleep on my back. Once I got to her house I got the key she gave me months ago and unlocked the door. I took her to her bed and put her down. As I got up and began walking away I felt her grab my wrist and I also heard her say something.

" No don't go come back to bed with me."

At first I thought 'was she seriously asking me to sleep with her!' Then I turned around and saw she was still asleep just sleep talking. She must have been dreaming about us sleeping together then I was about to walk away.

"Okay Orihime. If you want."

I tell her then I climb into bed with her. I thought it would be a good idea to keep my distance so I don't bother her but once I was on my side under the blankets she rolled over and hugged my waist and squeezed in tight against me. I didn't mind but I didn't want her to wake up and get mad at me and walk away. That would be a nightmare. But I was so tired I didn't even try to move.
