Every time Ichigo smiles like that, God kills a kitten [OPEN]
Characters: Ichigo and anyone who feels like talking to him
Content: It's that time of year again~ Ichigo Kurosaki has been replaced with a friendly, happy, smiling, and very tense young man. Feel free to WTF at his sudden shift in disposition, or if your character is particularly intuitive, go on and notice that he's tense.
Setting: Anywhere in the Winding Way that Ichigo's likely to be.
Time: Anytime from the 13th to the 16th
Warnings: CHEER. BRAVADO. ICHIGO SMILING. IT'S HORRIBLE.
He knew the race was coming up. He knew that it was possible that there would be a race on the 17th. He also didn't care.
There was no way he could have missed the date this year, not with Zeetha going on about all that "mommy" business. He didn't change his work at all, not on the days leading up to it. Nick and Ilya were covering his shifts in the radio room so that he and Rikku could work on the plane. He relaxed a little bit then, enough to keep the scowl up.
The rest of the time, he was horribly tense. He greeted the world with a bright, almost brittle smile, and didn't rise to anyone's taunts. It only got worse as the date got closer. He'd contacted Yuzu, who had wished him luck in the races, and promised to visit Masaki's grave for them. That was good, at least. He wished he could find Karin, though.
But all that was in the back of his mind. To any observer, Ichigo Kurosaki was just unusually friendly. Really, what had gotten into him?
