Think Twice ~A Bleach Story~ (Chapter 8)
Chapter 8:
That night when Soki left I remember staying up most of the night on the phone talking to Ichigo. I don’t even remember why I called him but I do remember talking to him.
I woke up to the birds singing, I took a quick shower and put on a pair of dark blue jeans and a purple T-shirt. I walked down stairs and heard my bell ring. Who the heck can that be it’s 10 in the morning. I opened the door and looked at Ichigo with wide eyes. Ichigo was dressed in a pair of dark blue jeans a white shirt over lapped with a pull over Black sweater and white converse.
“Hey.” he said
“Um, hey.” I said with a confused look.
“What’s up with calling me last night.” Ichigo asked
“Oh, I just felt the need to talk to someone. I couldn’t really sleep for some reason.” I said
“Oh really.” Ichigo said with a sly smirk
“Yeah.”
I smiled softly and let Ichigo in my house. Ichigo smiled back.
“Ichigo you want to hang in the backyard since your already here?” I asked
“Sure.”
I smiled to myself happy to finally have Ichigo all to myself. I took my black art book and lead Ichigo into the backyard. The trees still have lively green leaves and the green grass still as pretty as it was when my mother was alive, the white swinging bench that stood in the corner. Ichigo sat on the white bench, I sat next to him opened my drawing book.
“You draw?” Ichigo asked
“Yeah, I started drawing when I got out of Ouran in middle school.”
“It seems like your in your last page.” He said noticing my book
“Yeah I haven’t been able to buy a new book cause I kept forgetting.” I said looking up at Ichigo and then at my book
“Yuuki, last night when you called you sounded a bit…upset.” Ichigo said
I swallowed hard and tried to focusing on the drawing I was doing.
“Really.” I said trying to act like I didn’t notice it
“Is there still something wrong?” He asked
“No.” I said quietly
I didn’t mention to Ichigo that Soki was at my house last night, If I told him I knew he’d be upset. I do have some sort of feelings for Soki but since Middle school I have been upset at him. It’s hard for me to get over what happened, it annoyed me to no end. Ichigo on the other hand is someone I can really connect with, I can tell him anything and I like spending time with him.
“Actually, I’m just going to say this. Last night, I told Soki to come over. I felt the need to talk to him about something. One thing lead to another and I got upset. That’s why I called.” I said
At first Ichigo didn’t say anything, I just stood quite and kept drawing him. I felt like I shouldn’t have said anything. At the corner of my eye I saw Ichigo with a flinched in his eye, I could tell he was a bit upset.
“Why?” He asked
“Huh?” I said taking small second looks at Ichigo
“He takes advantage of you.” Ichigo said in a low voice
“Why do you say that?” I asked
“Yuuki, be honest. Did he come here for school or for you?” He asked
“I don’t know.” I lied half way
“Yuuki, He’s here for you now for school. He wants you to go back to Ouran and to leave me, I mean us.” Ichigo said quickly correcting himself
“I know but I don’t want to go back. I just don’t.” I said still drawing Ichigo, Erasing at certain points.
My heart was beating faster, lying was my weak point. I sucked at lying and could never lie right even if it depended on my life. I moved the wet out of my hair and looked at Ichigo.
“What’s wrong?” He asked
“Nothing.” I said
“You know your such a bad liar.” Ichigo said with a soft smile
I smiled and looked at Ichigo, his eyes were soft warm looking. It was like he was trying to cheer me up.
“I know, I’ve been told that many times.” I said with a smile. “Now stay still.”
“You know your really worth more then what that Soki character is taking you for?” Ichigo said
I blushed, that sentence alone made me blush a very light pink, it was so light even on my light tanned skin. I turned the page on the finished picture of Ichigo and wrote something on the back
I’m waiting anticipating
You’re here for me
Always taking my hand when I’m down
You pull me up and say everything is okay
-Yuuki 9/13
I carefully ripped the last page of my art book out and handed it to Ichigo. I smiled.
“Wow. I didn’t know you could draw so well. It’s amazing.” He said looking at it
“Thanks.” I said with a warm smile
“Look I got to go. It’s getting late. Call me later. Okay?” Ichigo said getting up off the white swinging bench
I didn’t even notice that the sun was setting beyond the horizon, the orange and light pink clouds of fluff.
“I will.” I said as I nodded.
“Night Yuuki.” Ichigo said leaning in and giving me a small light kiss on the cheek.
Ichigo walked out the backyard and back to into my house and out the front door. My cheeks were burning from that kiss, I must have been really red. I smiled to myself and walked back inside locking the doors and getting ready for bed.
