I love this pairing so much. Especially after re-watching the TBP Arc in Bleach :3

My heart booms at the speed of light
But the exit signs always on my mind, always in my sight.
I can say that I really want to stay,
But the devil inside always wins the fight, always gets his way.~Disgusting: Ke$ha

Hiyori swung up and slammed her fist into Kisuke's nose. A small whimper exited his mouth as he fell back onto his butt.

"I said I don't need your help, Dumbass!" She exclaimed.

"You're fever's in the hundreds, Hiyori." Kisuke whined as he held onto his now bleeding nose. "Besides, the angrier you get, the worse your fever will be!"

"Oh, shut up! I don't need your input! I can do things on my own! I don't need you standing around like a helpless-." She was interrupted by a barrage of coughs; they were so strong, they caused her to hunch over in pain. She covered her mouth and wrapped her arm around her stomach.

"I'm worried, Hiyori. I understand that you don't like being helpless. But could you, for once, let your guard down and let people help you?" Kisuke pleaded with his large deep brown puppy eyes.

She narrowed her own hazel ones. "You don't need to worry about me!" She sounded congested. "I'm fine. It's just a little co-." She sneezed.

"Bless you." Kisuke plucked a tissue from the box beside him and handed it out to Hiyori.

She snatched it away from him, only to sneeze again.

He chuckled and pulled the tissue from Hiyori's hand; holding it to her nose. "Blow."

Hiyori yanked her face away from Kisuke. "Get your filthy hand away from me!"

"Stop being so stubborn." He ordered with a smile. "Just listen let me help you!" He shoved his tissue covered hand onto her nose and squeezed gently. "Now blow."

She crossed her arms with a huff and blew into the tissue. Kisuke wiggled his fingers; catching all the mucus and pulled it away from her nose. He smiled. "See? Now that wasn't so bad, was it?"

A pink sprinkle of blush scattered across her cheekbones as she pouted and turned her head away from his gaze. "Whatever."

He smiled his signature dopey smile and disposed of the tissue. "Now come on, let's rest." He reached out to grab her arm.

A vain popped from Hiyori's forehead as she slapped his hand away. "Don't grab me!"

"Hiyori, you need your rest."

"I can do it without you grabbing me and pulling me like I'm a baby! I don't need to be babied!"

"Why not?" Kisuke cocked a brow. "I think it's pretty important to be at least pampered once in a while. Especially when you're sick. I mean, don't you deserve it?"

She did. But not from him. Especially with his dorky, idiotic face that was sometimes cute when clueless…She didn't just think that…nope, no she didn't. Not at all.

"Besides, I want my Lieutenant in tip top shape quickly so she can be able to work again. Don't you want that, too? The faster you let me help you, the faster this'll be over with and you'll be back to kicking butt in no time." Again with the dopey smile. "Huh? What do ya say?"

She huffed and crossed her arms once more. "Fine. But I don't want anybody knowing about this! You got it!?"

"Of course." His smile widened. He then reached out and grabbed her hand. "Now let's go to bed."

He guided her to his quarters and onto his bed. She sniffed the air through her stuffed nose and sighed. It smelled like him: his room smelled of different components from his many potions and chemicals, giving the room an indescribable smell. It was slightly filthy with all his lab equipment tossed around haphazardly along with most of his clothes. His bed, though, was miraculously neat.

"Come here." He gently pushed her onto his bed and pulled his covers over her petite frame. He then tucked her in and fluffed the pillow a bit before she actually put her head down on it. "How's that?"

"Fine, I guess." She blushed slightly and pulled her eyes away from his.

"Oh, hold on, I forgot something." He popped up from the ground and scuttled out the door for a minute, only to come back with a small rag. He placed it gently on her forehead and smiled. "How about that?"

"Better."

"You want some tea? I'm sure I can make some." He assured. Then he tipped his head to the side and glanced to the ceiling. "Or maybe I could get Captain Ukitake to get some of his Special Tea?"

"I don't want tea. I'm tired now." She stated sternly.

Kisuke nodded. "Okay, I'll be back in a little bit." He waved and sauntered out the door.

~! #$%^&*()

Hiyori woke with a groan. Her body had felt slightly better, the rag brought down her fever and she had been able to sit up on her own. She then felt something rustle next to her. She turned to see Kisuke sleeping beside her.

"What the hell?" She screamed as she slammed her fist into the back of his head.

He jumped awake and latched his hands to the back of his head. "OW! Why'd ya do that?"

"Why the hell are you sleeping next to me!?"

"Why not? This is my room?"

"I knew it! You just wanted me to sleep in here so you can, too and then cop a feel, you pervert!" She snapped.

Kisuke actually frowned. "Hiyori, you know I know better than that. I'm not Captain Hirako. I'm not going to violate you like that."

Hiyori calmed down for a minute. True, Kisuke knew better. But that didn't give him the right to just sneak in and sleep next to her.

"Look, if you want me to leave, then I'll leave. I'll nap someplace else." He motioned to get up.

Guilt punched Hiyori in the gut and she abruptly grabbed the back of his Haori before she even realized it. "No...Just…lay back down. But don't think that means you can grab up on me, you got it!?"

"I'm not gonna touch you, Hiyori." He assured with his dopey smile returning again.

She turned around in her bed with a huff and covered herself up.

But seeing that smile again, caused a small one to appear on hers as well.
