Pairing: Ishida/Orihime

-

"Dance with me," Orihime said once, and she grabbed both of his wrists in her hands and lifted him up.

They danced around the schoolyard, and she babbled about something, he couldn't remember what, because he was too busy trying not to step onher feet and ignoring the snickering around her.

Well, actually, it was only like that for most of the dance. Near the end of it she said, "Isn't this fun, Ishida-kun?"

And that's when two things happened, the bell rang singling the end of lunch break, and Ishida found that he started listening to everything she said, instead of mostly tuning her out.

-

Orihime stuck out her tongue, and allowed snowflakes to fall on them.

Ishida watched quietly, it was beautiful sight. He always though Orihime was beautiful, but something about the way her head was tilted back and theway her cheeks were flushed struck with him.

"I used to do this with my brother," She said, and it was unplanned, he could tell with by the way she suddenly looked at him and how quickly she spoke. "We would pretend it was candy and that if were were good, someone would keep giving us candy each winter. Or, at least, I did."

Ishida wished he could say something profound at that. But he couldn't even make his voice work.

She tiled her head back again and said before she stuck out her tongue, "I think it tastes better than candy now though."

Ishida still regrets there wasn't anything he could think of to say.

-

Ishida considers Ichigo his rival, and hates the idea of him one-upping Ishida in anything. He also considers Ichigo as his first friend.

When he watches Orihime wrap her arms around herself, and the longing her her eyes, he knows he can't compete with him.

Andit wasn't Ichigo is my friend that was running through his mind, butthe thought that he never wanted to see that look in her eyes again.

It was when he realized what he felt for her wasn't a crush any longer.

-

But he wasn't sure it was love until Ichigo told him Orihime had been kidnaped.

And for that moment, he thought, nothing else mattered.

Not even his father.

-

"Dance with me?" Orihime said when they were at school again, holding out her hand, and Ishida was struck with the fact that the sorrow in her eyes, the one that seemed a part of her, these days that Ichigo was missing seemed to weight less on her.

Or maybe he was just hoping. But maybe that was enough anyway.

Ishida took the hand.
