“Just me and you today. Anything you want to do. “ Ichigo was quick to clear his throat after saying that however— He couldn’t be too nice, couldn’t go too soft on her or else she’d tease him about it nonstop. “I mean… Don’t get too used to that, though! I’m doing this just because it’s your birthday, okay? Um, I may have gotten you a gift, by the way.”
2026 Birthday Ask | Accepting Rukia raised an eyebrow at his word choice followed by the throat clearing. She knew Ichigo's mannerisms by heart now and it was obvious he was feeling a bit awkward though why was anyone's guess. Still, she wouldn't embarrass him by calling him out directly. At least not yet.
"Don't get used to the idea of spending too much time with you. One on one." She really tried to stifle the smirk that threatened to spill on her face. "You do remember that I slept in your closet and attended school with you for an extended period of time?" She paused just to let the absurdity of his words sink in.
Ichigo's comment about a gift intrigued her! Curiosity replaced the smirk, eyes looking around him as if to scope out what this gift was before he told her. In the Soul Society, birthdays were not particularly important. Most passed without comment from anyone. Yet here Ichigo was, attempting to make her birthday special...
"What kind of gift is it?"
