Chad stirred a bit in his sleep, wishing that the sun didn't exist. He looked down at the buxom redhead in his arms, and closed his eyes again to try and recapture sleep.

His efforts were unsuccessful when Orihime burrowed further under the blankets, pulling him from the area between unconsciousness and functionality. He didn't mind, though, and was content to lay there and think a bit until his red-headed beauty woke up.

He thought a bit about how their relationship is a bit like a time bomb. They never know when something will blow up in their faces, or when they'll be the unlucky couple of the week on the news. Nearly being run over by eighteen-wheelers and struck by lightening on a clear day will do that to you.

10...9...8...7...6...5...The bomb never explodes when they need it to, though, as they're almost always fighting some hollow, and they receive help right after Ichigo and Rukia have killed the hollows that showed up shortly before this one.

Chad thinks it's kind of cute how Orihime will fuss over him, when she knows full well that he'll be alright, so he just lets her bandage him up, lecture him about being reckless when she doesn't have the right to talk, and then they watch a movie or he'll play his guitar for her.

Orihime stirred a bit, and moved her head up to his shoulder. Wouldn't be long until she woke up.

10...9...8...7...6...5...4...3...2

Orihime's eyes popped open, and she said her good morning to Chad, while pulling on one of the shirts that was laying on the floor from last night. When she stood up and stretched, Chad saw that it wasn't hers. But he did think she looked a bit better in his clothes, even though with their life, it'll all probably explode soon.

I know that it sounds more like Chad and Orihime do all the work, but it's my story, so ha. ;P Normally, I write Chad/Karin, but I find that this pairing is easier to write, and it is slowly growing on me.
