summary: -maybe it is confidence, but mostly he thinks it is stupidity, whatever it is he should learn to keep his mouth shut.
prompt: pickup line- smile, because happy looks good on you.
_____________________________________________________________________________
He does not know what it is that makes him say it. Maybe it is confidence, but mostly he thinks it is stupidity. He has become an idiot, who cannot seem to hold his tongue. It is good though that he is comfortable in the presence of this girl. They have been friends for a very long time and they have been through a lot together so it is only natural that he no longer has to filter his words. But to say something so boldly inappropriate, especially for the type of friendship they have, is something more than idiocy, it is pure stupidity on his part.
Though he did, people might say, bring a smile to her face.
Still, this is…beyond HORRIBLE! It is terrible. This could damage their friendship. At least, he had not said it in front of Tatsuki. That overly protective person would usually beat guys for much less than a simple slip of the tongue.
He might have kept thinking about all the torturous things Tatsuki might have done to him if a voice did not bring him out of his own nightmarish thoughts.
"Um, are you okay, Kurosaki-kun?"
An angelic voice too.
"I, uh- thank you?"
He had just thought that out loud hadn't he? Yup, this had just escalated from beyond horrible to extremely terrible.
"Damn it…"he silently groaned, there is no way he would get out of that one. Wait a minute there is…he could run! There is only one solution to problems like this: RUNNING.
Just as he is about to bolt a tentative hand is placed on his slumped shoulder.
"Are you sure you're okay, Kurosaki-kun? You've been crouching in that corner since you said-"
"NO, DON'T SAY IT! IT'S TOO HORRIBLE!" he exclaims pushing the heel of his palm farther into his eyes. To have her verify that he had actually said what he said would only help to make him feel worse.
"AH! Okay! I'M SORRY!"
He stood up, his back still turned to her. No matter how terrible the situation he had gotten himself into was, she should definitely not be the one apologizing to him. After all, he had hit on her, made her worry, and frightened her with his cowardly reactions. He could barely stand to hear her verify his slip-up.
"No, I don't do that. I should be the one saying sorry," he turns to face her, finally able to open his mouth, "So, I'm sorry for what I said and for making you feel uncomfortable."
He opens his eyes slowly, which were previously tightly shut closed, to see her reaction. He is fearful that at worse she will have a look of disgust on her face but she does not.
She only smiles and says: "Don't worry. You're actually the first person who's been able to make me laugh so hard in a long time."
Whatever he has been expecting her to say it is definitely not that because she quickly edits her statement when she sees the look on his face.
"WAIT! Not that I was laughing at you, only at what you say…NO! What I meant was that-that I-I don't know what I meant…" she sighs in frustration. I
t seems like this day has both of them tongue-tied. Not that he had been early, because early he had been a pretty smooth.
"Hey, don't worry about it. I know what you mean but about what I said earlier…"
"Oh, the smile, because happy looks good on you thing? Or the angelic voice compliment? Because you-KUROSAKI-KUN, WAIT!"
Ichigo could safely say that for a girl, Inoue could keep up with someone like him pretty well. Still, that would not be enough to stop him from running away.
"Kurosaki-kun, stop, please~! It isn't so horrible. I promise!"
"You're right," he says-surprisingly-slowing down, "IT'S TERRIBLE!" he shouts over his shoulder, before speeding up.
It may be mostly stupidity, but he is glad that he does what he does. If he hadn't then he would not be being chased by this girl, that he thinks he might like, and both of them would not feel as happy as they are feeling right now.
So, when he finally lets her catch him while she smiles brightly at him. He knows what he said is right, happy does look good on her. And he tells her this because he secretly likes the blush he causes when he does.
