30kisses - violence; pillage/plunder; extortion
x-posted toishi_ichi and 30kisses
They walk together through the park, looking up and around at the trees, the sky, the plants… anything and everything except for each other. The world around them is loud and cheerful, but they are both silent, lost in thought. Upon hearing the gentle rush of water, Ichigo looks up. Ishida tilts his head at the movement and blue eyes meet brown for the first time all afternoon. Ichigo shifts slightly, feeling uncomfortable at the prospect of breaking the silence between them and nods towards the source of the sound. After a moment, Ishida nods and they begin to walk towards the river hidden behind some undergrowth. There is a bridge leading to a platform built in the middle of the water, intended to allow people to watch the fish swim by and as Ichigo walks forward onto the bridge, Ishida has no choice but to follow.
Already quite some distance in front of the other boy, Ichigo stops in the middle of the bridge to lean against the railing and look into the water. Not a word is said as Ishida pauses, wondering if Ichigo is going to speak, before continuing to walk towards the middle platform. As Ishida passes him by, Ichigo reaches out and wraps an arm around the other boy’s waist, bringing Ishida to an abrupt halt.
He does not fight against the redhead as he is pulled closer, but shivers when he feels Ichigo’s breath against his neck when the boy rests his chin on a shoulder.
Finally, the silence is broken by a small sigh on Ishida’s part, “I’m sorry.”
“You don’t need to be,” Ichigo whispers, still holding him close, “I understand.”
“I should have told you. You deserved to know… I feel guilty for believing I was still alone.”
Nuzzling into the warm skin of Ishida’s neck and pressing his lips against it for a moment, the redhead speaks in a gentle tone, “You don’t need to revisit those memories for my sake. Urahara knew enough anyway. There… there was too much violence, bloodshed… too much death for me to have ever expected for you to tell me about it. I’m sorry that I brought it up.”
“The extermination of the Quincy is never a pleasant thought to dwell on,” Ishida speaks slowly and upon hearing the pain in each syllable, Ichigo holds him tighter, “But… it’s part of who I am. No matter what dark and faraway corner of my mind I banish it to; it will always be there. It’s part of what makes me who I am… to know that so much blood was spilled because two groups couldn’t work together. It makes me appreciate what my Sensei told me of how he wished for the Quincy and the Shinigami to work together. And it makes me appreciate the fact I’ve met you, because not only were you the one who made me realise what it was Sensei had wanted, but you were the one who helped me carry it out.”
Ichigo smiles, “We make a good team.”
“You’re a wonderful partner,” Ishida whispers and blushes, realising the double meaning to his words.
“And as long as you’ll tell me something if it’s important to you,” Ichigo murmurs, holding Ishida with both arms and turns the other boy, giving him a short kiss before grinning, “I still maintain that you’re perfect.”
