Ichigo x Hiro Edition: "Ichigo's father's friend son"

Ichigo hummed silently to herself, as she placed down the last of the silverware. Smiling at her accomplishment of setting up the table. "Ichigo, can you start setting the food?" Her mother, Ringo asked;  who was currently stir frying some vegetables, beef and adding some seasoning. "Okay." Ichigo came rushing to the foods that were already put on a dish, take a whiff of the smell. "Wow, smells great!" Ichigo smiled, and took the food over to the table. Rachi was off around the house, preparing the living room and guest rooms. Tonight the Hoshimiya family were expecting three guest for tonights dinner: The father who arranged this whole meeting, was on his way to pick up his friend, along with his family.

Ichigo's dad, Taichi Hoshimiya, invited his long time friend along with his family to eat dinner with them. The two have been friend's ever since middle school and they plan to keep it that way. And just like any adult who were good looking and kind of hearted, they both had kids. "Ne, Mama. How old is dad's friend's son?" Ichigo asked. Ringo pondered at this question, "He should be maybe, about your age, just about 1 year older." She smiled. "Hm..." Ichigo said, before she heard the front door open. "I'm back." Ichigo's face lit up, and ran to her dad. She gave him a huge hug with a spin added. "Welcome back~." He did the same with Raichi.

"Ichigo, Raichi. I want you to meet my long time friend, Shin Kaze (I don't know Hiro's last name, so I made one up). Ichigo bowed, so did Raichi. "Nice to meet you, sir." The man laughed. "You have some really polite kids." "Really?" He said, feeling all proud like. "Oh, and this is my son, Shin Hiro." The son came out, but no worde left his mouth once he caught a look at a certain blonde female. Ichigo and the boy stared blankly at each other, which soon turned to shock. The two pointed at each other. "Oh, Kimi!" They said in usion. "Eh?" The males said in confusion. "Could it be you met Hiro before?" Kaze asked. Nodding to his answer, Hiro felt he should properly introuduce himself. "Nice to meet you all." She smiled. Hiro smiled back.Ringo came out, "Minna~ food's ready." The boys except Hiro jumped up, and ran to the table like little three year olds. Ichigo decided to stay next to Hiro when walking to it. "It's a weird coincidence, hm?" Hiro asked. Ichigo nodded in agreement. "I was completely shocked." She explained, using her arms to emphasize. Making the two smile and enjoy each other's company.

Dinner turned out fine, everyone had fun, and enjoyed the stories. But now it was time to clean up. The two dad's got drunk after drinking sake, and passed out in the living room; seems they have low tolerence to alcohol. The mother laughed, as she slowly took the dirty dishes to her daughter. "Sorry that my dad passes out." Hiro said to Ringo. The mom just smiled, and waved it off. "It's fine, as long as my family is happy it's fine. I'll be back, let me get a blanket for them." Ringo then gave her daughter the dishes, and slowly started to walk to her storage closet. Hiro went over to Ichigo, and smile, she was busy humming and doing the dishes.

"Good song?" He asked, Ichigo didn't hear. This emphazize him to move closer. "What are you humming?" He said right next to her ear. Ichigo jumped  a bit, and covered her ear quickly. Not only did he scare the life out of her but she also felt Hiro's warm breath; giving her tints of pink on her cheeks out of embarrassment, with chills down her spine. "Wah~! You scared me." Ichigo pouted. As she looked at Hiro, she saw that he was laughing at her. "Haha- go- gomen. Haha." He continued. Ichigo continued to pout, but soon smiled. "So, what were you humming?" He asked, leaning against the counter. "Calendar Girl, were using the song for the next audition. And while we played it all day, it got stuck in my head." Ichigo said, pointing at her head. Hiro smiled at her behavior; 'Almost like a child.' "Let me help you." He offered. Before Ichigo could say anything, he grabbed it out of her hand. Now the two were washing the dishes together. "Arigato." He nodded. They continued to do the dishes together, talking to each other as if they knew each other for years.

"Don't tell anyone, okay?" He said, showing her the quite sign. Ichigo nodded, "If I break the promise, I'll swallow a thousand needles." As she held out her pinky finger. 'She really is like a child.' He couldn't resist and took out his pinky finger and wrapped it around Ichigo's pinky finger. "Promise" The two said.

In the Living Room...

"Ichigo and Hiro-san so kawaii~!" Ringo said, as she covered her now, three boys, Raich falling asleep on the couch. "Oyasumi." She said, and gave Raich a kiss on the forehead.

Back to Hiro and Ichigo...

"Ichigo, can I trust you to help Hiro settle in the guest bed as I go to sleep?" Ringo asked. Ichigo looked up to her mother, "Of Course!" She gave her mom the thumbs up sign. Ringo smiled, "Oyasumi, Ichigo, Hiro-san." She said, before waving good night to the two teens who were left standing. "I guess that means it's just us, huh?" Hiro said, as he put up the last dish. Ichigo stretched, and nodded to his question. Hiro was already on his way to the living room, Ichigo was going to walk to until she slipped on some water left on the floor. And turned on the mini-spray hose in the sink. Water was dripping everywhere. "WAH!" Ichigo frankly tried turning it off, only to fall on her butt. "Ichigo!" Hiro said, before rushing to her aid, and trying to help turn it off. "Wah!" Ichigo said, and soon anime cried. "Gomenasai!" After about 5 minutes, they were able to finally turn it off, to their relief. But, the two were soaking wet. The two looked at each other, when trying to turn it off, the dish soup fell into the water, and soon everything was getting bubble also. The counters were wet, the floor barely had a dry place to stand, as the sink was being over flowed with water and soap bubbles all over the area. Ichigo and Hiro looked at the mess. "After I just cleaned." Ichigo said. Hiro and Ichigo looked at each and soon and were laughing there hearts out.

Ichigo's hair was drenched, so much, that her bow lost it's bunny-ear ness. Her clothes stuck to her body, and had bubbles all over her hair, and clothes; some on her face. Hiro wasn't any better, his hair was stuck to his face, his hair full of bubbles, that any kid would love to pop right now, and his clothes clinging to his body, like it's life or death. "Gomen, sorry I got you wet." Ichigo said, trying to get, up, to only start to fall. Hiro caught her before she fell. "Careful." He said, Ichigo sweat dropped.

Now after about an hour, they finished cleaning. "So tired. What time is it?" Ichigo said, laying her head on the counter. "Let's see... 1:14 A.M.." Hiro said. Ichigo's eyes widen, as she quickly took her head off the counter. "That late!" Ichigo said. Hiro smiled. "Oh, your still wet... and full of soup." Ichigo said to Hiro. Hiro looked down at himself, completely forgetting. "How about I get you some new clothes, and a towel to try up in." Ichigo said, leading Hiro toward the bathroom. "Here, I'll be right back." As the blonde soon left to get her father's old PJ's.

When Ichigo came back, she now stared at a half-naked Hiro. He only had his pants on, he chest and abs showing. Hiro looked surprised, she didn't blush or anything like some girls would do. "Hai, Hiro-san." She gave Hiro some clothes, who gladly took it. "I'll be waiting outside the door." She said, as she soon stepped out. Hiro thought of nothing, as he continued to change. But what he didn't know, is that Ichigo leaned her back against the door, hiding her face with her bangs. But, if she looked up, and you saw her face. Her cheeks were completely red.

Couple Minutes later...

Ichigo was sitting on the floor, facing the white bathroom door. Her body felt weak and wobbly, unable to move because of tiredness. She soon tucked her legs to her chest, and layed her head on her knee. Closing her eyes to rest; rest, not sleep. Soon, she was startled by the bathroom door opening. She saw Hiro exit out of the bathroom, with her old father's PJ's. "Arigato again, Ichgo-chan." He said. "Ino, I'm the one who got you wet. "Those clothes fit you really well." Ichigo noticed, the PJ's being the perfect fit and size. Hiro just smiled. "Souka?' Ichigo nodded. "Let me show you where your sleeping." She soon led Hiro to the guest room.

She yawned. "Tired?" Ichigo nodded. "Well, it was a long day of cleaning." "Well if you need anything, just knock on my door. Oyasumi." Ichigo waved goodnight to Hiro. Before leaving to change into her PJ's and hitting the sack. Hiro soon went under the blankets, and fell asleep.

Few Hours Later...

Hiro's eyes shot open quickly, as he continued to feel someone shaking him. "Hm...?" He questioned, as his eyes sight appeared blurry, only seeing a blob. But his vision soon fixed and he suddenly saw a sight that made his heart beat. Ichigo was frantically trying to wake Hiro, with tears in her eyes. With the look of hoping that Hiro would wake up. "Hiro~ Hiro~" She whispered over and over again. "Ichigo-chan." Ichigo smiled, hope and relief in her eyes. Hiro quickly sat up, starrind at the blond straddling his waist. Ichigo was wearing a pink t-shirt with a strawberry on it. Long purple PJ pants with stars on it. Her hear was down, and she didn't have her signature bow. "HIRO~!" She said, before hugging him out of know where. Pink tinted his cheeks, so lucky it was pretty dark. "What's wrong?" He asked, looking at the clock, which read 3:49 A.M. "There was... there was..." Ichigo didn't finish her sentence and left it. Hiro looked confused. "Ichigo?" Ichigo let go of Hiro, and looked at him. Hiro's heart was pounding, his cheeks flush. Ichigo looked so cute, but she was terrified like a bunny. "Cockroach."

 Ichigo's Room...

"Don't worry, I got rid of it." A sigh soon followed. 'This is why she woke me up.' He looked at the girl, and she still looked as scared as a bunny. "Ichigo... will it help if you slept near me?" Hiro asked quite boldly; which indeed got Ichigo's attention. "Eh?" She said. She soon blushed out of embarrassment. "Is it really okay?" She needed his approval, cause she didn't want to cause trouble for him, or at least not more trouble. He nodded. Soon the two were together in the gust room, sleeping next to each other; back facing back, both wide awake with curiosity, embarrassment and many other feelings stuck in their heart. Then the two thought at the same time, 'Maybe just a peek.' The two slowly started to move, the ruffling of blankets and sheets heard with the slightest of movement. The two soon found that they were both looking at each other.

Their eyes widen, Ichigo's crimson red, and Hiro's teal colored eyes. They didn't really expect this, but... they didn't mind. They smiled at each other, Ichigo held Hiro's hand. Hiro was shocked to feel this sudden warmth. "Good Night, Hiro." Than Ichigo closed her eyes and went to sleep, her grip never loosened around Hiro's hand. Hiro nodded, and he started to replay the events up to this day. Those times he met Ichigo, and how she saved are band. He took one more look at Ichigo, before closing his eyes.

"Night, Ichigo."
