Title: Growing up
Serie: Bleach
Warning: Shounen-ai / Yaoi
Note: Before you ask, what happens he is after Soul
Society and the current arc. Aizen is yet to be
defeated, but Hinamori is out of her coma, and NOT dating Hitsugaya. If I’m
correct, this would happen a year after Soul Society arc.
Summary: What if they found out the cause why
Hitsugaya hasn’t hit puberty? What if the solution is in Ichigo’s world?

my own.
Chapter 5: Decisive Moments
Homework was done and
both boys were now in their respective beds. Somehow, Hitsugaya couldn’t sleep.
It was granted that his ribs were making it difficult, but he was still
restless. He finally sat up and just looked outside; something was telling him
that he wasn’t going to have a normal night or even a normal day tomorrow. He
sighed and decided to change into casual clothes. He made sure he didn’t wake
up Ichigo and got out of the room.
He slowly got out of
the house and decided to take a walk around town. He ended up again in the
park; the same park he had been attacked in two days ago. He sat on the swing
and decided to watch the starry sky. He really wondered if it would really work
out for him; so far, he got beat up, people laughed, and his voice was
cracking. So far, only one sign of puberty had shown.
“I’m surprised that you managed without getting noticed,” said someone
beside him.
Hitsugaya didn’t need
to look to know it was Renji who was beside him. “What’s so surprising?” asked
Hitsugaya.
“Kurosaki would have noticed it, especially since you are injured,” said
Renji, glancing at the white-haired captain. To be honest with himself, Hitsugaya looked like a mess and he had noticed the
cracking voice of the captain’s voice, but didn’t make a comment about it,
knowing he would have an earful when he would come back.
“I know, but I think he knows I need some space,” said Hitsugaya,
finally looking at Renji. Surprisingly, he was in a gigai too. “So, why are you
here?”
Renji just struggled
and looked away. “They decided to send me to check on your progress…”
Hitsugaya sighed; of
course people wanted to know how he was, especially Hinamori and his
fukutaichou. “Did Hinamori receive my message earlier?” he asked.
“Yea, but she was still worried,” replied Renji. Renji wondered if he
should tell Hinamori about Hitsugaya’s current situation. The white-haired
captain had been beaten up from the looks of it and he was sure Hinamori
would come here the second she learned about it.
“Typical… Abarai, can you do me a favor?” asked Hitsugaya, looking at
the ground.
“Sure, what is it?” Renji asked, knowing what would be the favor.
“Just don’t tell Hinamori and Matsumoto I’m injured,” he said, getting
up off the swing. “I don’t want them worrying and come running over here.”
“Fine by me, but I’ll have to tell Unohana,” said Renji.
“Sure…” said Hitsugaya.
They continued looking
at the sky for a little while, completely oblivious to the world. Suddenly,
they heard footsteps and a familiar reiatsu. Renji looked and saw Ichigo
entering the park with a coat under his arm. He joined up with the other two
and gave Hitsugaya the coat.
“You better put this on,” said Ichigo. “You do have injuries and it
wouldn’t do you good if you have a cold.”
Hitsugaya stared at the
coat then at Ichigo, wondering what he should do: accept the coat or just
ignore it? Hitsugaya sighed and took the coat, which
surprised both of the redhead.
“How long are you planning to stay, Abarai?” asked Hitsugaya, putting
the coat on.
“A few days,” replied Renji. “Just to make sure everything is
alright."
Ichigo mumbled
something that sound like he really didn't like Renji's presence here. Renji's
just glared at the orange-haired shinigami. Hitsugaya knew that a fight was
going to happen soon. He just sighed.
A few days later
With Abarai around and
constantly arguing with Ichigo, it was almost a miracle that Hitsugaya didn’t
snap and strangle either of them. The Sixth Division vice-captain was hanging
out around them most of the time after school.
It was one of those
situations where Ichigo and Renji were having a very loud argument while
Hitsugaya was trying to do his homework. The white-haired captain was twitching
each time the argument stepped up another level.
“URUSAI!” Hitsugaya finally shouted, annoyed with both of them.
Renji just stopped and
stepped away from both shinigami. Ichigo stared. Both knew that a really pissed
off Hitsugaya was never a good thing. Hitsugaya gave them both a death glare
before returning to his homework, but the two redheads could feel the tension
and the temperature dropped a few degrees.
The silence continued
until Renji got up and left the house, not wanting to get Hitsugaya angrier; he
had heard that the small captain was not a pretty picture when angry at
someone. As for Ichigo, he was just trying to concentrate on the book he’d
grabbed when Renji had left. It was after a few minutes that Hitsugaya sighed;
it was no use to keep working on the homework if he wasn’t able to concentrate
anymore.
“We really bothered you didn’t we?” asked Ichigo.
“Yes… Now I can’t even concentrate on my homework,” replied Hitsugaya,
closing his books and putting them away, very annoyed.
“I thought you were use to this kind of thing…” said Ichigo, putting his
book away.
Hitsugaya twitched a
little. “I’m more used to see Matsumoto sleep on the couch or Hinamori showing
up when I least suspected, BUT NOT a yelling match between Renji and you,” he
said, glaring at Ichigo.
“Geez… No need to be angry with me…” said Ichigo, trying to look like
his usual self.
That only made the
temperature drop again and a very well placed death glare from the small
captain. Ichigo backed away a little. After a while, Hitsugaya stopped staring
and left the room, with his coat. Ichigo sighed; he would never get used to
this. Even if he knew that Hitsugaya was getting more and more like a normal
teenager, it included a few mood swings from time to time.
Outside
Hitsugaya had pulled
the coat on and decided to walk a little while. He was annoyed about two
things, the first being the fight between Ichigo and Renji and the second was
himself. He wondered why he was losing his temper quicker than usual. He
sighed. It was probably part of growing up.
He finally looked
around. He was again in the park. It seemed like every time he wanted to think
or be alone, he ended up here. He just ran his right hand in his hair, messing
it up a little, before going to sit on a swing. It was getting a little too
normal for him. He had learned that Hinamori had told Ichigo about his habit to
go in high places to think and had been told not to do it here.
Hitsugaya looked up at
the sky—it was starting to get dark. The sky was tainted with red, orange and
lilac colors. He stared a little longer and started to swing a little. He felt
so lost at times, ever since he got here. It was almost three weeks now and he
still hadn’t felt the change except his voice.
Not too far away,
Ichigo was watching Hitsugaya. He had promised to keep an eye on him for
Hinamori and Rukia (more like he was forced to do it). Even though most of the
others hadn’t really noticed, Hitsugaya had taken on inch or two in height and
his voice sounded more and more like an adult—it was deeper. He wondered how
the girls were going to react to his voice next time they were going to see
him.
It took a little while
before Ichigo decided to join the Tenth Division captain. Hitsugaya didn’t make
a move to acknowledge the orange-haired teenager’s presence. It was one of
those moments when no words were needed.
Suddenly, Ichigo’s
badge and Hitsugaya’s cell phone went off. They both looked at their respective
object and Hitsugaya immediately open his cell phone to find the location.
Ichigo got his mod candy out, ready to go.
“Where is it?” asked Ichigo.
“School’s courtyard,” replied Hitsugaya, getting up.
“Okay,” said Ichigo, swallowing the candy. He immediately got out of his
body, leaving Kon in charge of it. “And Kon, you stay here with Hitsugaya.”
“HEY! I’m not some kid, you know!” yelled said captain, really annoyed.
“And I’m no babysitter!” added Kon, equally annoyed.
“Not my problem! Orders are orders!” replied Ichigo before disappearing,
leaving the two of them alone.
Hitsugaya wasn’t sure
what to do: strangle Kurosaki when he came back or just ignore the situation.
He sighed. He knew that it wasn’t good to disobey a direct order. He had
received the order to stay away from hollows as much as possible until he was
ready. He just took his seat in the swing and decided to wait until Ichigo came
back.
Later
Ichigo had dealt with
the hollows that had appeared in the school courtyard and now, he was back in
the park. He was actually surprised that Hitsugaya was still in the park,
waiting for him. He walked back and saw that Kon had also listened for once. He
went back into his body, putting the soul candy back in his pocket, and looked
at Hitsugaya. Something told him that Hitsugaya was a little grumpy with what
happened. He looked away and heard the white-haired captain sigh and the chains
of the swing move. Hitsugaya had got up.
“So, wanna go back home?” asked Ichigo.
“Not really…” said Hitsugaya, a little gloomy.
Ichigo was surprised to
hear this tone in Hitsugaya’s voice. It was not normal. He put a hand on
Hitsugaya’s shoulder and it came as a surprise that he wasn’t pushed away.
“I guess it wouldn’t be too late to go to that coffee shop…” said
Ichigo, starting to walk away.
“Coffee shop?” Hitsugaya asked, wondering what the heck
Ichigo was talking about, but he followed Ichigo anyway.
Later
Both of the boys were
soon in front of a very popular coffee shop in town. It was very popular among
the teenagers since you could find many of them around town, and it was a
really popular line of shops.
Ichigo got in, not
knowing the questioning glares that he was getting from Hitsugaya, who was
following him. Ichigo finally looked at Hitsugaya, signaling him to find them a
seat.
Hitsugaya just sighed,
wondering what Ichigo would buy for them. He took a seat that was near the
window. He stared outside, waiting for Ichigo to come with their drinks. He
wanted to know why Ichigo had decided to come here right after fighting a
hollow. He was in his own world when Ichigo came back with two medium
frappuccinos in his hands.
It was until he heard
the chair in front of him that Hitsugaya turned around. He looked at what
Ichigo had bought and was really wondering what was in the glass.
“Hope you are going to like this…” said Ichigo, grabbing his own and
starting to drink it.
Hitsugaya just frowned
and grabbed his glass. He started to drink it and found that it was tasty and
very refreshing somehow. He couldn’t help but smile at the taste.
Ichigo had noticed the
smile forming in Hitsugaya’s face and was glad to have brought the captain
here. It made him smile also. Somehow, it was fun to make Hitsugaya discover
new places and things of this world.
The next day
Both of the teens were
heading for school when Hitsugaya stopped dead in his tracks.
“Come on Hitsugaya, we are going to be late if that continues,” said
Ichigo, until he noticed where they had stopped. Ichigo just
sweatdropped.
“Can we just get one of the drinks you got yesterday?” Hitsugaya asked,
almost giving Ichigo an order.
Ichigo wanted slap
himself; maybe it wasn’t the best to have brought Hitsugaya here. He was
getting addicted to the coffee shop’s products.
Note: Yep, I made
Hitsugaya OOC on the last bit of the story. And the last bit about the coffee
shop… Err… Starbuck’s anyone? (Or Nagayan reference anyone?) I couldn’t help
myself. Also, please read and review!
