Prompt: sitting by a window/rain

Pairing: Ichigo/Shiro

Summary: It's about to rain, and Shiro feels comfortable with it, unlike when he's in his King's inner world.

Type of writing: shonen-ai (nothing but two kisses)


Shiro quirked a brow as he stared out the window with his sun colored orbs, seeing the clouds shade themselves a deep silver, dark and, strangely, comforting. The blue sky slowly morphed into grey, a pleasing grey. The albino glanced over at his King, who was simply turning the pages to his History book.

"King,"

The duplicate's disoriented voice knocked the boy out of his daze, veering over his shoulder with a soft smile.

"What is it?" he calmly complied, watching as Shiro placed a white, black nailed, index finger against the cold window's glass. Chuckling, the eldest Kurosaki placed the text book down. "It's going to rain."

"But...why doesn' it bother me?" the mirror questioned, removing his limb and replacing it with the palm of his right hand, obviously confused on why he didn't despise this rain compared to when it rained in his King's inner world.

"Because you're not alone,"

The white look-a-like glanced back at the orange haired teen, seeing that his chocolate colored eyes were soft, not full of hate like all the other times. Standing, Ichigo traveled over to him, plopping down beside him and wrapping both of his arms around the Hollow's waist, placing his chin on the other's shoulder.

The albino blinked, but shut his eyes and leaned back into the tender touch.

"Because I'm here." he whispered, nuzzling his nose into the white tufts.

The white figure lifted his hands up, coiling his fingers around the lightly tanned teen's neck, redirecting the way Ichigo's face was placed, tilting his head back with a wide grin, planting a soft, testing, kiss on the boy's lips, who eagerly returned it. Parting, the albino took in his King's soft smile, his eyes showing happiness.

"And I'm glad," he breathed, "I'm glad that you are."

Another soft, tender, kiss was shared.
