you already know...right?

"I would like a cookies and cream please" Rukia asked politely as the woman gave her a cone filled with one huge spoonful full of cookies and cream.

"Thank you!"

"What is that?" Hitsugaya asked as he stared at the thing in Rukia's left hand

"Its a cookies and cream ice cream!" Rukia smiled brightly and did something that made the tenth division captain blush, Rukia stuck her pink tongue out and licked the ice cream.

Rukia had tried all the flavors in the shop at least once, it was Ichigo who had brought her here and introduced her to the great wonder that was ice cream.

"Want some?" Rukia asked when she saw Hitsugaya watch her

"No, its okay" he turned his head to the left and tried not think of the 'thoughts' he just had about the petit shinigami and her pink tongue.

"Here try some taichou! I know you'll love it!"

"No, I said its fine"

"And I said it's not!" Rukia back talked the young captain ignoring his shocked face.

"I brought you here so I could treat you for what you did for me, if you ignore my offer then I'm going to be very insulted!"

"Fine!" Hitsugaya said finally, no one had ever back talked him like Rukia just did, he was quite taken aback.

"Good! you'll like it taichou!"

"Yeah yeah" the boy blushed as he remembered Rukia had practically licked the whole thing, but he still was going to try it out, against his hot blush.

Hitsugaya stuck his pink tongue out and slowly licked the spot Rukia had tasted.

The young captain hated it! he hated the so called cookies and cream, it wasn't because Rukia had tasted it before him but the fact that it was too much. The white ice cream was a odd flavor and the pieces of black cookie only got in his way.

Hitsugaya had a half a mind to tell the petit shinigami that he hated it, but something in her eyes made him soften

"It's really good" he lied

"I knew you would like it taichou!" Rukia exclaimed with a wide grin on her face

"Let me go get one for yourself!"

"No, its okay really, Kuchiki" Hitsugaya REALLY didn't want another one

"No, no taichou it would be my pleasure" and Rukia left Hitsugaya to go buy him another of those THINGS.

"Here!" Rukia handed Hitsugaya the smaller of the two

"Is there a reason why you gave me the one we both licked from?" he couldn't help blush at the statement

"...Well...umm" Rukia flushed, she didn't want to say she gave him the smaller of the two because she wanted the bigger one for herself. She didn't want to sound greedy. The small captain smiled at the girl before him

"Don't worry Kuchiki, I don't care what amount I get" he saw Rukia smile the moment he said that and received the ice cream with a blush 'am I really going to eat this? this ice cream that Rukia and I both shared?' apparently he did, for in an instant the ice cream disappeared into the young captain's mouth.

Hitsugaya was never one to stare. In fact he was the one who hated it when people stared at him, however Hitsugaya was the one doing the staring this time and the person he was staring at was none other than Kuchiki Rukia, the raven haired shinigami who sat before him, as happy as a child with...ice cream. He had to admit there was something about Rukia that pulled people to her, Hitsugaya knew this to be very true, all because of Kurosaki Ichigo who tried to destroy soul society to prevent the small Kuchiki's execution, Abarai Renji who went against his own captain, and even Kuchiki Byakuya, himself, who went against the law, in which he honored so much. Hitsugaya knew in some time he was going to fall victim to her pull.

"Your really enjoying that aren't you, Kuchiki?"

"I am taichou! cookies and cream is my favorite!"

"Really?...I hadn't noticed" his voice full of sarcasm

"Ha ha very funny Hitsugaya-taichou" Rukia stopped her licking and raised a prefect eye brow.

"What can I say?" he smirked

"Whatever" Rukia answered and continued in her bliss.

Hitsugaya watched the action as a forming blush creped along his face, he saw how the ice cream melted down her hands, how it seemed to crawl all over her snow white skin, how her pink tongue would stick out for a long time or sometimes dart in and out her small mouth. The young captain shook his head and blushed 'stop thinking these thoughts! Kuchiki is a fellow shinigami, not some...eye toy! stop think these thoughts!' he commanded his brain but to no availed.

When Hitsugaya realized what it was he was thinking and told himself to stop Rukia had finished her ice cream.

"Ah now that was filling!"

"We can go now?"

"Sure but Hitsugaya-taichou are you not feeling well? your face is all red" Rukia stared at the furiously blushing captain.

"I'm...I'm fine Kuchiki lets get going" he turned his head trying to prevent Rukia from seeing his growing blush 'what the hell is wrong with me? why am I blushing so much!? and around Kuchiki too!'

"Just a moment" Rukia said abruptly as she began to wipe off any left over ice cream on her face. Hitsugaya saw her from the corner of his eye as she wiped her face,

"You missed a spot"

"Really? where?"

"There"

"Here?"

"No there!" Hitsugaya pointed to the spot on the raven haired girl's face that held onto the left over ice cream.

"Did I get it?" Rukia wiped her face, hoping she had got it all

"Let me get it" and in a moment Hitsugaya pushed his chair from under him and leaned over the table, closing in on the wide eyed Kuchiki.

Rukia really loved ice cream but what always really annoyed her was when it stuck to her face after she was done. When Hitsugaya-taichou kept telling her she had a piece on her face she began regretting eating the ice cream. However all her thoughts disappeared when the young captain began to move his face closer to her, Rukia's heart beat in its rib cage like a bird pleading to be freed, her heart was in her throat when his face stood only an inch away.

"Hi...Hitsugaya-taichou?" Rukia's face was as red as a tomato, sat in her seat in complete stiffness.

With a strong blush Hitsugaya stuck his pink tongue out and licked the left over ice cream off the red Rukia's top lip. And at that moment the tenth division captain realized he had fallen into Kuchiki Rukia's pull.

"Hitsugaya-taichou!"

"What? I told you, you had some left over" he smiled as his face was as red as the petit shinigami's, if not more. He saw her cute embarrassed face and couldn't help but think

'Hmm maybe cookies and cream isn't so bad after all.'

THE END
