The bell rang and everyone left the lab room in a hurry.  Well, not everyone.  Ichigo and Ishida were left to clean up the massive mess that had been their chemistry experiment only moments before.  This was actually their second mishap during this particular lab.  The first merely consisted of a couple of broken test tubes and a smallish puddle of diluted hydrochloric acid.  Ichigo had accidentally knocked over the test tubes that Ishida had placed, in Ichigo’s opinion, much too close to the edge of the table.

Both aggravated about having to restart the tedious experiment that they had nearly finished when this accident had occurred, the two argued much more than usual.  The more they argued, the less they paid attention to the bubbling concoction behind them.  Their verbal warfare came to a sudden halt when the flask on the counter violently erupted.  They would have considered it to be one of the most spectacular displays they’d ever seen if it weren’t for the fact that they were going to have to clean it up afterwards.  The teacher scolded them for their carelessness as the bell sounded and told them to clean up the mess.  Grumbling, the two headed to the supply closet to grab mops and brooms while watching their classmates vacate the room.

“This is all your fault, Kurosaki,” said a very disgruntled Ishida as soon as the teacher was out of earshot.

“MY Fault?!?!  How the hell is it my fault?!  You’re the one who was supposed to be watching the damn thing!”

“You distracted me from the experiment with your childish behavior.  And it was your fault that we had to start over to begin with.  I had the experiment completely under control the first time until you decided to destroy everything.”

“Oi!  It’s not like I did that on purpose!  Besides, you shouldn’t have set up the equipment so close to the edge.  That was just careless on your part.  Anyone could have accidentally bumped into it just by walking down the aisle!”

Ishida continued to passionately argue his side, but Ichigo just tuned him out.  He knew that Ishida had a tendency to be very long-winded and he frequently doubted the logic of the Quincy anyway.  Ichigo just wanted to clean up and go home as quickly as possible!

“Kurosaki, are you even listening?!?”

“No.” At least he was honest.

“The least you can do is listen when someone is talking to you…”

Ishida was being rather persistent with his lecture.  Ichigo decided that enough was enough.  He put down his broom and pulled the rambling Quincy into a kiss.  This had the desired effect as a now-silent Ishida let his mop fall to the floor and leaned further into the kiss.  Their teacher chose that moment to poke her head in the doorway to check on her students and their mess.  When she saw them kissing in the midst of that mess she considered telling them to get back to cleaning but decided to just let them be.  At least they were learning about some sort of chemistry.
