[He isn't sure what it is exactly he's feeling, but he thinks he might have an idea. Heated cheeks and rapidly beating heart was his symptoms, the former he sees from others all the time.

Shifting in his spot, his hopes someone can give him some answers as to what's going on.]

U-Um... Is it weird to think about a person a lot?

[And as his heart beats

Oh, Ichigo-kun!

[She waves and trots over to him, totally oblivious to his blushing.]

[orangeinnocence]

Hey Orihime-san... How are you?

[k0koro_kara]

I'm doing OK! How about...

[Orihime trails off here, noticing he's looking unusually glum.]

...Is something the matter?

[orangeinnocence]

Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just... Confused, I guess. Maybe sick too, I'm not sure...

[wai_hollow_thar]

What do ya mean?

[orangeinnocence]

Oh, um... I'm thinking it might be weird or wrong to think about a person a lot... I've never thought about her before otherwise, but now I can't get her out of my head, and I think something's wrong with me.

[wai_hollow_thar]

[This is going to be painful.]

Well ain't it better than forgettin' them all together? Nothin's wrong with ya.

[orangeinnocence]

... I suppose you're right. I definitely wouldn't want to forget any of my friends...

[shoten_devil]

Are you okay...?

[orangeinnocence]

[He didn't know about this person, but he nods anyways.]

Yeah, just thinking too much. It's kinda giving me a headache... *sigh*

[shoten_devil]

Oh... I'm sorry for disturbing you, I didn't mean to be rude...

[Ururu bows slightly.]

[orangeinnocence]

N-no, it's fine. You weren't rude at all. I just didn't...

Um, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. What's your name?

[holyfight]

That depends on what you're thinking about, I guess...

[orangeinnocence]

I just... I can't get a friend out of my mind... I never thought about her much before, but now I just think... Bah, never mind.

[holyfight]

Well, I mean... Is something going on, or is this just thinking about her for no reason? We may need to use the tinfoil hat...

[orangeinnocence]

That's the weird thing! I haven't talked to her in a little while. I just... started thinking about her lately and how I wish I could talk to her more...

[Orihime had been following a caravan of ants when she spotted her friend.]

Hi, Ichigo-chan!

[She notices that he looks more dejected than last time, and hopes he and his mom are okay.]

Ano... did something happen, Ichigo-chan?

[orangeinnocence]

AH- O-Orihime-san!!

[She had been the last person he hoped to see, in a sense. He very much wanted to see her again, but after all this talk with his other friends, he was very nervous and embarrassed.]

I-I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be fine? Nothing happened except me figuring out that I really li-

[He stops, face catching on fire before throwing his hands up to his mouth.]

S-Sorry... Never mind...

[miniweaver]

Eh?

[She realizes that she called him -chan and he called her -san. OH NOES! That must be why he's embarrassed! He can't tell her that they aren't that close yet because he's so nice! Now she's embarrassed too! She blushes, and bows.]

I-I'm sorry!

[orangeinnocence]

W-Wait, why are you apologizing? I'm the one who freaked out on you.

[Shifting his weight from foot to foot, he thinks about his replies carefully. This is one person he doesn't want to say anything wrong to.]

You don't need to apologize for anything... Okay?
