But no one is going to call Ichigo out for calling queso 'queso cheese'? To be honest, she probably won't correct him either. Good luck Ishida.

...yup, all the Kurosaki's are very stubborn in their own cute way. Better to watch how everything works out from the sidelines. Offers some bread cause this looks to be entertaining for a while.

Not even if you pay me.

I bet Ichigo and Orihime are the sweetest, most soft-spoken couple you will ever see, with gentle touches and blushing all throughout their dates.

By contrast, Renji and Rukia are probably disgustingly affectionate with each other after getting married. He’ll bend down and Rukia will wolf whistle at him, or while Rukia receive an appreciative pat on the butt whenever Renji passes her in the hallway.

"...."

This would make things difficult wouldn't it? Orihime opens her mouth to further protest, but stops herself short. She knows Ulquiorria to not be someone insensible. Of course being on the Espada team with Grimmjow and Nel to help fend of the Quincy's, he could easily help them turn the tide then, but for him to join initially...

"...why do you want to join me?"

She did not miss his insistence to be with her, not her and Sado. Was there something important to them that he needed to join? She felt a need to know this before accepting that he will join her.

However, knowing Kisuke, he will have noted something like this beforehand.

Teetering on the precipice of death before she had miraculously dragged him off its perilous ledge, reviving him in more ways than one, facing the mortality he never expected to meet has in no way instilled a sense of fear of it in the former Cuarta.

Though now, he understands -- somewhat better at least -- why humans, Soul Reapers and his kind alike clung to the vestiges of their existence. Understands that everyone, even a morose, empty creature like him could source meaning from living. Before, it had been to serve Lord Aizen.

Now…

Now, he dwells in the shadow of the woman who’d taught him more in the transcient blink of an eye than anything else had in his hundreds, thousands of years prior.

“I don’t fear being injured.” Ulquiorra makes abundantly clear, mood soured by her perception.

“And I don’t care who arranged the teams, I will be joining the same one as you.”

[foraltruism]

@kisumshi asked: i thought you'd choose me. Ulqui to Hime c:

Orihime's smile is soft, meeting the voided look of Ulquiorria's green eyes. While the rest of the group gathered together to go over their plans again, Orihime takes the former fourth espada to the side to speak with him just out of earshot of the others.

"Kisuke-san was the one who arranged the teams, not me. And you're strong, Ulquiorria-san."

Orihime stares at him with resolution, no longer fearing the despair he carries, because she is hope. No longer does she feel like drowning when she looks at Ulquiorria, knowing her hope is just as strong, as she is no longer someone who sees herself as weak.

After all she has a very important duty ahead of her, and cannot afford to look down on herself.

"But believe me, if you're injured after everything is over, I will come and heal you."
