Ichigo - he was staying over at s/o house but as they were sleeping he goes out because he felt hollows nearby. S/o wakes up to him not being there, they calls him as he was returning ~ they questioned where he went and told him to hurry back because they can’t back to sleep without him. More fluffy! Lol
You ask and you shall receive! Thank you for this senpai!! _________
He didn't plan to stay the night, given it was his week to be on hollow duty. But Ichigo couldn't help himself. He missed you, and he wasn't going to push you away because of who he was. He reasoned it would be easier to protect you if he shared the same bed.
Of course the badge has to go off while he's having the best sleep of his life.
He grumbles softly, not wanting to disturb your sleep, and carefully untangles himself from your grasp. His hand is resting on his badge, prepared to push him from his body, but he stops midway, deciding he'll go investigate first, knowing there's supposed to be another Shinigami patrolling Karakura.
He moves to press a soft kiss to your forehead, smiling when you snuggle into the blankets. Without hesitating, he sneaks out the window, quiet and carefully to not disturb your sleep.

He realizes two things. One, he should've transformed as he could've moved faster with shunpo, as opposed to running on his two feet. Two, you wouldn't have panicked and called him because he wasn't there..
Although he beats himself up, Ichigo knows there's no point in dwelling on it, because it would've been a bigger waste had he transformed and gotten there to not be needed. But he's also frustrated because he had to leave you.
The phone goes off in his pocket, and he answers, fully knowing it's you on the other line.
"_____"
"I...Ichi-chan... Where did you go?"
His cheeks burn at the soft tone in your voice, and he's thankful you can't see the expression he makes. His first thought is to say he went to the store, but he doesn't want to lie and says,
"There was a hollow nearby. I went to go check it out, but it was gone before I got there."
There was a brief pause, as you digest the information, before he hears a soft sigh..
"I understand... But please hurry back? The is cold without you..."
He feels his lips curl into a smile at your voice, and his feet carry him of his own accord.
"I'll be back in two minutes, _____. I won't go anywhere."
And when he finds himself at your front door, he watches as it opens, seeing you standing at the entrance with the blanket wrapped around your form. Your hair is in disarray, and eyes half open as sleep takes over.. He hangs up the phone, walking into your house and hugs you, quietly shutting the door behind him. Without letting you go, he swoops you in his arms, almost running up the stairs back to your bedroom.
"I....Ichi-chan....?"
He blinks, looking down at you as you stare up at him.
"Welcome back..."
He leans down, pressing a soft kiss to your lips as you hug him close, grinning like a little child.
"I'm back, _____."
