"How do you think he does it?" Ichigo suddenly asked, out of the blue. Orihime turned around in her seat, looking to Ichigo with a confused look.

"Who does what, Kurosaki-kun?" Ichigo stood from his desk and pointed at Hirako discreetly, who was talking to Mizuiro, bored out of his skull. It had been a week since Ichigo had turned him down on his first offer. But Hirako was persistent; like a gnat on a hot day. He wouldn't leave Ichigo alone for a minute without asking if he was ready to 'take him up on his exclusive offer' yet.

"How does Hirako keep smiling so much, and how come his teeth are so… "

"Shiny?" Orihime finished. They stared at Hirako for a really long time (five minutes) before Inoue whispered: "I don't know, Kurosaki-kun. Maybe his lips are broken?" Ichigo snorted into his hand at Orihime's idea.

Suddenly, Hirako turned and yelled across the room at the two.

"I's not like that, darlin', my lips aren' broken at all!" He grinned like the conjectural Cheshire cat and pointed at his shiny teeth.

"Toothpaste and Vaseline, kiddies. Lots of toothpaste and Vaseline."
