The Hand in Mine

This is for my calendar challenge, that no one has participated in. :( Just a short ficlet based on the January/February picture.Title: The Hand in MinePairing: Kurosaki Ichigo/Ishida UryuuRating: PGSummary: He walks him home every day; (AU)The temperature was dropping as the snow gradually thickened. Ichigo noticed his hot breath make visible steam as it left his lungs, like little puffs of smoke. The snow had begun sticking to the ground, and Ichigos toes, covered only in his tabi socks, had gone numb during their walk. Fortunately, it wasnt too much farther till they reached Ishidas home; maybe, if he was lucky, he would be invited in for tea before having to go back to the dojo. Maybe, if he was really lucky, the snow would build up so much in that short time, hed have no choice but to spend the night.A couple local farmers passed them by on the road, throwing them derisive looks. Ichigo ignored the fire that stirred in his blood and kept his eyes focused in front of him, tempered by the droning voice of the man walking next to him. As usual, Uryuu did not notice the derisive looks; he was too busy going on about something intellectual, something hed undoubtedly learned about in university that day. Ichigo pretended to listen, but generally couldnt understand a whit of it; he wasnt a scholar, after all. Uryuus place was in the university; his was in the dojo. That was simply the way life ran. Ichigo was content enough to hear his voice.Yet even though they lived in different worlds, Ichigo still made the time each and every day to walk with Uryuu to and from university. In their busy lives, it was the only time they were able to spend together anymore. It had all been so easy, once. Their fathers had been longtime friends, and the two of them met as children, innocent and lonely. At thirteen, Ichigo thought Uryuu was prettier than any of the girls; he kissed him on the lips for the first time hiding from their fathers in a broom closet, and Ichigo knew then that there was something inside himself that made him different from everyone else.But tides change, and nothing good lasts forever, or so that was what everyone told them. Ten years later and theyd both been hurt by the realities of life, but Ichigo had sacrificed much to be where he was right now; by Uryuus side, holding his cold, bony hand that was hidden beneath the extra length of his warm winter robe. Even if it wasnt visible, however, it was still somewhat obvious; hence, the glares from various locals. Every time one of them looked as if they were about to say something, however, Ichigo gave them his hardest, deadliest scowl until they looked away. So far, it had worked every time.Reforms are clearly needed, dont you agree? Uryuus voice cut into his thoughts as they approached his home.Ichigo gave a sound and accompanying nod of agreement. They paused at the gate, and Ichigo shivered for good measure.Uryuu let go his hand to hold it to Ichigos forehead, eyes squinting at him through his square-rimmed glasses. Why dont you come in and warm up? Ill make us some tea.Ichigo smiled in thanks, but hesitated. Is your father . . .?Hes still in Edo, of course. Probably wont return until spring.Ichigo followed him inside, grateful.Would you like to stay the night? Uryuu asked him some time later, voice as soft as the thick snowflakes that were falling steadily outside. Ichigo, warm and content, was dozing with his head rested in Uryuus lap. The hand running through his hair was absolute bliss.Are you sure thats okay? Ichigo looked up at him, serious. He and Uryuu had both learned long ago that what they had was never going to be acceptable in anyone elses eyes, even if it was perfect in their own. They had also learned that even in ones own home, walls could grow eyes and ears of their own.Id like you to. If you want to, of course.Ichigo raised his hand and brushed the back of his fingers across Uryuus lips.I always want to be with you.-------FIN
