• tab I sat staring out the window again as I had been doing so much lately. I found myself daydreaming more and more about him by the day.
    tab What atracted me to him so? He was cold, something I couldn't seem to stop liking fiercely. He was monotone, only intriguing me further. He worshiped Aizen. I understood only that about him.
    tab I could feel my hands tighten in to fists beside my face and around me. It was too frustrating to think about so I just sighed and tried to think about something else.
    tab Every time... every time I tried to change my thoughts, he just popped right back in.
    tab I growled and the agitation, I'm sure, was shown on my face. I really didn't care though, I just wanted to find out what it was. I was even barely aware of my reitsu growing around me in an angry, hazy cloud.
    tab "Scarlet." said a calm and cool voice behind me I immediately identified. Ulquiorra Schiffer, the man I couldn't pry my thoughts from.
    tab "Y-yes?" I gasped, jumping at the sudden bust of sound and getting up out of my seat.
    tab "Calm yourself, woman." He said, taking a step closer. My thoughts phased back to what I had thought of earlier and I could feel my cheeks grow red and hot at it.
    tab He stepped closer to me in response.
    tab I blushed more and he cupped my face in his cold hands and I asked, "W-what are you doing?"
    tab "Trying to see why your face has turned red." He answered simply, leaning in close.
    tab "I-I can tell you why." I stammered, reacing up and gently moved his hands away. "See, I have this feeling for you... I don't have thisfeeling around anyone else and it makes me act different,it is what the Orihime girl calls love."
    tab He nodded and slowly replied "Then... if I were to do something like this..." he brushed his lips against my forehead then slowly drew back, "it would make you feel different?"
    tab I drew in a sharp breath and nodded.
    tab "U-Ulquiorra-sama...?" I stammered, lookingup at him "do you feel the same way....?"
    tab "Yes, I do." he said, his expression seemingly softening as he moved closer and our faces were just inches apart, our breaths mingling in the air.
    tab My eyes fluttered shut and I slowly leaned in as he did the same and our lips gently pressed together. His hands snaked around my waist, pulling me to him as my hands also found their way to his body, wrapping around his strong shoulders.
    tab Seconds.. maybe minutes... it felt like an hour when we finally puled away, just gasping for breath.
    tab I looked in his eyes and I could see it. Love.
    tab I could never undestand it, this emotion, nor any others, but now I understood one. I knew that we would be able to teach each other about all of them and come to understand them together.
