He didn't really have to worry about the blue hair. Kurumi was drunk enough herself. At least, that was what could be gathered from the fact that she was whining to her tool box in the forge.

"...and everyone's stupid. Even me. I'm stupid too. Maybe I have a stupidpower. I dunno. I dunno."

She rubbed her eyes and looked over at the door. For a few seconds, she stared, and then she smiled and waved.

"Hi."

"It is," Kurumi justified. "It can be more than one thing."

flight_15 March 17 2011, 06:18:36 UTC

"So what's the goddamn metaphor?" he demanded. That was what he was trying to get at! And she wouldn't tell him!

drinkitlovelife March 17 2011, 06:23:05 UTC

"A blue rose is mysterious! It's not real! It's... it's..."

Kurumi held her head.

"It went away. I had it before and it went away. I'll tell you later when I remember."

flight_15 March 17 2011, 06:34:52 UTC

"...milky?" he supplied. "Okay, sure. So you're like...a rose that nobody else can understand, because it's made of milk. I think I get it."

Ichigo paused.

"Not! That doesn't make any fucking sense either!" he snapped. "Face it, Rosy Milk. Your name...is stupid."

drinkitlovelife March 17 2011, 16:49:04 UTC

"It's not!" Kurumi poked him in the face. "Your name makes even less sense, and it's even stupider, too."

flight_15 March 17 2011, 18:38:16 UTC

He pushed her back, shoving her in the arm. "At least I can explain what my name means without forgetting what it's a metafor." Ichigo didn't notice that he'd slurred the last two words he'd intended to say together.

drinkitlovelife March 17 2011, 18:49:00 UTC

She responded by shoving him back. "I'll remember later!" Stupid... stupid jerkface.

flight_15 March 17 2011, 19:08:51 UTC

Like hell was he going to sit back and let her push him around! He shoved right back, harder this time.

"My name's way cooler than yours," Ichigo declared. "It means 'to protect a thing!' But I'm going to protect lots of things."

drinkitlovelife March 17 2011, 19:11:34 UTC

Kurumi swayed backward and bobbed right back like a punching bag.

"Yeah? Well, I'm a secret heroine," she said, "so I'm gonna protect all the things."

flight_15 March 17 2011, 20:41:31 UTC

"Listen. Listen, Milk," Ichigo explained, in the same tone of voice you would use to impart great wisdom. "You can't protect all the things. And if you try...you're just going to hurt yourself. Because you'll feel so bad about what you couldn't save that you'll think you can't protect anything. And you've got to do it for the right reasons. You can't do it because you feel guilty about something you couldn't control and are trying to make up for it, because you'll wear yourself down. You can't live like that."

He didn't realize he was rambling, or that his words probably didn't even apply to Milk. Ichigo tucked his arms behind his head and lay down on his back, staring at the ceiling.

Kurumi's shoulders drooped. She hugged her knees and began to rock back and forth.

"You think so?", she asked. "But if I do protect all the things, everyone's gonna love me, right? I know I would. I think."

She let go of her legs and flopped down beside him to see what was so interesting up on the ceiling.

"I think," she repeated. "Maybe I wouldn't. If I were stupid, I wouldn't. 'Cause... 'cause I don't like stupid. Everybody else likes stupid, but I don't. Stupid can't save anybody."

flight_15 March 17 2011, 22:15:42 UTC

Ichigo sat up again to get a better look at her.

"Is that why you want to save people? To make people like you?"

drinkitlovelife March 17 2011, 22:19:14 UTC

Kurumi rubbed her eyes. "Partially. And I... I wanna be a hero. Heroes're cool. An' that's why, but I also... I also..." She held her head, grasping for the words. "I wanna protect my friends. That, too. I like my friends."

flight_15 March 21 2011, 05:53:06 UTC

He shook his head. "That last one. That's good. The other two? Not really. Because you've...you've got it all wrong. Saving all the things isn't what's going to make people like you." Ichigo paused, trying to put the words together himself. He knew that saying these kinds of things to people was important, and he didn't want to screw it up. "When it comes to people caring about you, whether you save everyone or not doesn't matter. I mean it matters, but it's not going to affect how much someone cares about you. Because the people who just care about you as long as you help them but stop caring as soon as you screw up aren't your friends."

Pausing a moment again, Ichigo looked thoughtful. "If you ask me," he said, "you wanting to save people because you want to protect them is pretty cool. And...even if you couldn't protect everyone, I'd still like you."

drinkitlovelife March 21 2011, 06:04:14 UTC

"Nnn..."

Kurumi sniffed at the air and held her own head. "But... but it still hurts when people like stupid, useless people more than you, right? I'm... I wanna be good enough to like." She tried to sit up and collapsed back over. "Mn... How do so many people like you, stupid Ichigo?"
