Walking the sidewalk, it was really boring since no one was around.

“So how have you been Orihime?” Ulquiorra asked.

“I’m fine, mostly lonely, I think.” Orihime answered.

“I see, so where can you eat breakfast here?” Ulquiorra asked.

“Over there!” Orihime pointed to a bakery store.

“Looks like its open. Shall we come in Orihime?” Ulquiorra said in a low voice.

“Yes,” Orihime pointed on a counter and said, “hey look, it’s an open counter!”

“Good morning, what’s your order?” asked the cashier.

“Two donuts and two coffees,” said Ulquiorra.

As the cashier left to get what Ulquiorra ordered, Orihime spoke up. “Who’s the other one for?”

“Who else? You of course,” Ulquiorra answered coldly, but this did not frighten Orihime. “But--”

Ulquiorra cut her out, “I won’t let you pay when you’re with me.”

Orihime kept quiet and as the cashier came back she spoke without hesitation, “Here’s your order,” the cashier gave the ordered food on a tray and said, “Two donuts and coffees. “Thank you and have a nice day!”

Ulquiorra grabbed the food and pulled Orihime’s hand to the table where he wants them to sit. Orihime blushed and followed Ulquiorra.

“W-Wait Ulquiorra!” Orihime pleaded.

Ulquiorra just looked at Orihime, and then turned to his desired destination. Orihime and Ulquiorra sat down and ate breakfast.

“Orihime, do you like me?” Ulquiorra asked.

Orihime coughed a bit and blushed. “What do you mean?”

“I mean do you like me as my self and not as your captor and as an Espada,” Ulquiorra replied.

“Yes! Of course I do!” she confessed. “I-I even missed having you around me!”

Ulquiorra’s eyes widened and quickly relaxed. “Really? Thank you very much Orihime,” said Ulquiorra.

“You’re welcome. You see, I cried almost every night by just remembering you,” Orihime said with a blushing face.

“Orihime, you don’t have to worry about me, I’m okay and you don’t have to cry, just remember this: we may be far apart in distance, but not in the heart. That means I will always be with you Orihime.”

Orihime was shocked that Ulquiorra spoke about the word “heart”. “Ulquiorra, the heart, my heart beats the same rhythm as yours,” Orihime said still blushing.

“You never fail to empress me, Orihime. You are a very special girl and I’m very blessed that I met you,” Ulquiorra said calmly.

“Oh, thank you Ulquiorra,” Orihime said.

“You’re welcome,” Ulquiorra said with a slight smile.

“Since we’re done, where are you going?”

“Everywhere you go!” Orihime said with a smile.

“Hmm, I see. Well, I’ll be going back to the hotel where I stay,” Ulquiorra replied.

“You can stay in my house if you want, I have an extra room for you to stay in,” Orihime suggested.

“Okay then, I will stay in your house,” Ulquiorra said in a monotone voice.

“Alright!” Orihime said happily.
