Fandom: Bleach
Pairing: Hisagi Shuuhei x Apache (LOLZ, an even bigger WTF than GrimmApa!)
Rating: PG-13
Notes: This was written for
doorknocker_dog. I don't really expect anyone else to read it or get it. It's set in the timeline of the
huecomundo RP with stuff that hasn't even been released to the general public yet. When I was doing the music meme last night, and Head Over Feet came on, this was actually the first idea that popped into my mind, but for that I wanted to stay away from roleplay related stuff. At the request of
doorknocker_dog though, I wrote it after the fact. Hope you like. It's...sappy x_x
Head Over Feet
You've already won me over, in spite of me
And don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
And don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are
I couldn't help it, it's all your fault...

Apache stared at the bundle of roses in Shuuhei's arms.
"...The heck are they?" She asked as she prodded at the flowers, getting poked by a thorn as she did. "Oh wait, they're roses, aren't they? Mira Rose was named after them. Whatcha carrying them around for?" She still seemed confused as he placed the bundle into her arms.
"They're for you...." He said, fingers nervously running through his untamed black hair.
"....For me?"
"Yeah...They're...pretty, aren't they?" She could tell that he was slightly embarrassed, and probably wondering why he was even bothering to try to romance an arrancar girl to begin with.
"...Well...geez." She scratched the back her head, equally as nervous as he was, the bundle still in her other arm. "Ah, hell, where'd you even get them?"
"...That's my little secret." He said with a wink. "...Do ya like them?" He asked eagerly. He had these puppy dog eyes that stared at her in a way she had never been stared at before. It was different. But not necessarily bad.
"...I..." She smiled a bit. "...Thanks. I appreciate it, Shuu. Although I may end up passing most of them over to Sun Sun. She could keep ‘em alive better than I could. I'd probably kill them all with a look." Shuuhei nodded his head, pulling one of the roses from the bundle, and tucking it behind her ear.
"Just keep one, okay? I don't care if you kill it." He gave her this lazy smile. She could never resist it when he looked at her like that.
"...I'll keep it, I promise."

It was a couple months later, and it was one of the rare opportunities that Shuuhei had to sleep in Apache's bed. He wasn't about to miss out on it. She had fallen fast asleep after the sex, and he found himself staying awake to look at her. This little arrancar girl, who had only slept with him because she couldn't have the one she wanted, had weaseled his way into his heart, and he hated admitting it. Particularly when he still wasn't completely certain she HAD a heart.
His hands slid beneath the pillow, fingers brushing against something stiff. Blinking, he pulled out a dead flower from under the fabric. He smiled slightly, watching the girl snore.
This might just work out after all.
