"Nothing really," he muttered, turning around to face her. Despite what he said, his eyebrows furrowed into a confused scowl, and he scratched his head.

"Did you know that Ishida and Inoue are dating? Isn't that weird?"

"Well yeah, I do, but if you don't want to- maybe I shouldn't have brought this up," he shook his head and waved his arms around as if trying to erase their conversation. He found a quick change of subject.

"So what are you drawing anyway?" he asked, unceremoniously snatching the drawing out of her hands.

Rukia was taken aback by the sudden change in subject.

"HEY!" she cried, trying to grab her drawing. It was her offering to Moby-san and the stupid boy was going to wrinkle it and then all would be ruined! She found though that, as usual, Ichigo's arms were too long and she was far too short and, well, the best way to handle that was to give him a good kick to the shins.

Rukia laughed in triumph as Ichigo clutched as his shins and howled, the drawing fluttering to the floor. ...right beside a red marker.

"You found it!" she squealed.

"OW! That hurt you psycho- found what?" he wondered rubbing his injured shin, his gaze falling on the marker next to her drawing. He watched as she snatched it up happily along with her picture.

"Oh, so that's why you came in here," he mumbled, trying not to sound as put-out as he felt. He stood up straight and turned back to his desk, sitting back down in the chair that faced away from Rukia.

"You shouldn't leave your stuff all over the house you know,"

"Why? You didn't think I'd just come to see you, did you?" Rukia asked mischievously, but then stopped. She could see that Ichigo was trying to be offhand and play it 'cool', but his face was still too serious.

Putting the drawing and marker down on the bed, she walked over to the chair until she stood just behind Ichigo. Even standing up, she was barely taller than the boy was sitting down.

"I--" Rukia hesitated again. "I've never...been in a relationship before."

Ichigo leaned back in his chair, letting his head fall back far enough so that he was looking her right in the eye, albiet upside down.
"Neither have I," he admitted, blushing slightly. He just sat there for a few moments, staring up at her, wondering what she was thinking.

Rukia looked down into his face. His amber eyes were looking up at her curiously and the soft expression on his face had temporarily eased the permanent scowl that was etched onto his forehead.

"Well, then," she said, blushing under his gaze. Rukia reached a hand forward and just barely touched the top of his bright orange hair. She made as if to dust his bangs away from his eyes. "Maybe we could...try."

"I'd like that," he almost whispered, smiling as she touched his hair. "I mean I'd really really like that a lot actually," he chuckeled giddily, glancing away from Rukia for a moment. He cleared his throat.
"I just mean that I think it would be a good thing to do," he declared, trying to sound masculine despite the very Warm and Fuzzy Feelings he was having.

"Is that what you think?" Rukia smirked, hand still brushing his hair. "And just why do you think that?"

Ichigo grabbed her hand and pulled her within inches of his face.

"This is why..." closing his eyes he leaned up and brushed his lips softly against hers.

Rukia was startled as she felt herself pulled forward. She could feel her cheeks burning.

"Is that so?" she murmured, pressing her lips down against his.

"Mmmhmm," he mumbled against her lips, relishing the feeling of them against his own. He placed a hand on the back of Rukia's head, his fingers weaving themselves in her hair.

Rukia brought both of her hands forward and held his face, the soft skin warm and smooth. From so close, she could smell strawberries on him. Again. Just like the last time.

She held onto the kiss for a little while longer before gently breaking it.

When she stared down into his eyes again, she didn't know what to say.

Ichigo stared back up at her and smiled what felt like his first real smile in months. He tucked a loose hair behind her ear and brushed his fingers across her cheek.

"I thought about this a lot, you know, when I was training," He sat back up and turned his chair around, pulling her into a hug.

"I thought about how nice it would be to come home to you," he said into her shoulder.

Rukia blushed, glad that Ichigo couldn't see her face.

"Well then you should have come home sooner," she said, knowing how selfish and unrealistic she sounded and not caring. Right now, in Ichigo's arms, she felt warm and safe. Even for this tiny moment in time, she felt as though she could, for once, say what she wanted, without feeling the obligations of being a shinigami or Kuchiki on her.

Rukia tightened her grip on him and mumbled into his ear.

"I missed you, you idiot."

Ichigo nuzzled into her neck and ran one hand slowly up and down her back.

"Oh, did you now?" he asked, smirking the slightest bit. He let out a small sigh and added, "I missed you too," suddenly marveling at how small and delicate she felt in his arms. He felt a sudden protective urge and pulled her closer to him, his hand reaching up to cradle her head.
