By Any Other Name - 7

After getting "The Island" out of my system, back to my vignette series. :)
Rated M (or Y) because Kon has a dirty mind.
Quotes in bold come from Viz Shonen Jump translation.

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, it owns me.

Kon is tired of waiting for Ichigo to make a move on Rukia: His popcorn's going stale.

thanks :D The moment I wrote a vignette featuring Kon I knew it would be crack. But it's a nice change of pace from my usual serious tone. I enjoyed thinking of the book titles, too :)

About Ichigo's feelings for Orihime... I was aiming for a realistic reason. I'm glad it worked! XD

yosh! Have been mourning the loss of my pc for over a week, so its nice to be back online and to read some witty fics.

Kon's drama was hilarious. The Chad-fear, it's so under used. And I've never thort about Rukia's taste in manga meaning she has needs! It's true >_< Kon might be willing to let Ichigo have a go at his 'nee-san' if he was in a sharing mood, but he might just steal his body and jump her again, lulz.

i miss him

In and out was so fab. I like Ichigo being clever and like cool, and not glaringly homophobic. Also Yumi & Ikkaku r like the worst-kept secret in SS, EVER.

The last one is so true. I like how u get these little insights. I think Ichigo was a little phreaked by Inoue, 'cause she so flaky. And I second dinem, that last line is killer ^__^

Great job as always.

It's nice to see you online again, too. :D I was wondering where you went!

I'm glad Kon meets your approval. I think his fear of Chad + his armored arm is real.

Yumi + Ikkaku = worst kept secret LOL Well, it's kind of hard not to assume they're a couple when one of them cross-dresses in their flashback scenes...

Some teenaged boys do get freaked when a girl shows interest in them first. (As if it's their privilege to do all the liking first!) I figured Ichigo would be one of them. Heheh.

Ah, you reminded me why I used to love Kon! He did seem the introspective type, and I adored his first eppie, but the they just turned him into a mindless character. And 'Rabid Shinigami' describes Ichigo's fighting style perfectly.

The second was so cute, Rukia being the only secret in his closet!! I wonder, would anyone believe him if he told them?

The last one was gold. Especially the last line.

Kon is easy to write as crack -- he's such a pervert he helps you along, really -- but I think he would he do a lot of thinking on his own, when he's not thinking about sex! I love the scene in the manga where he was forced into Ichigo's body by Urahara, right after Rukia disappears. Kon's talking to his stuffed body, and then he throws it against the closet in disgust, only to pick "himself" up again. It sums up a lot of his issues as a mod soul. I don't know if I read TOO much into Bleach, but he's really not as stupid as the anime makes him out.

I'm happy you liked the second one too -- a part of me thinks the punchline is corny, but it was really just begging to be written. XD My writing Hollow just demanded it.

And about brutal intimacy... sigh XD I'm glad you all liked that line! I was in a romantic moode when I thought that up. Multiple thank you's for reading!!!!

He wasn't hiding any skeletons in his closet. As far as he was concerned, there was no secret in there, except for Rukia.

I love that line.

And this one...No one else could touch him with such brutal intimacy.

<3 Much love on all of these.

[laurie_bunter]

Thanks :D I was kind of worried about the word "skeletons" because I thought someone might take it the wrong way, like I'm accusing Rukia being anorexic or something when it's a figure of speech. DUH. I worry about the weirdest things!!

[annieroo2]

LOL the story from Kon's POV was hysterical. I laughed at the in/out one as well. But the last one was so good. It almost seemed like i was really in Ichigo's head. Thanks for the great entertainment!

[laurie_bunter]

Many thanks :D It's a scary thing, to get inside Ichigo's head. Lately it's been crowded in there. XD
