Bleach Fan Fiction ❯ Knowing ❯ an open window ( Chapter 2 )

[ A - All Readers ]

Waking up sometime between dawn and midnight was unsettling, especially when she saw the window was open. She was worried that the cold would go inside the room and give Ichigo and her some runny noses and coughs which could end up into much more especially knowing that Ichigo could be just as stubborn as a four year-old in taking his medicine.

A cold draft wafted in. She looked at the clear skies visible through the window and noticed that it has stopped raining. She sighed, it was Ichigo’s habit to open the window throughout the whole day, she was not averse to it, it was just that if no one was inside to mind the house, some burglars or worse, (maybe sumo wrestlers), might come in and invade their space. But that habit had lasted up until last year, although occasionally, he would leave the window open intentionally throughout the whole day if he was at home.

She always wondered why he insisted that it be kept open during rainy days, or rainy nights, she had asked him, but he gave her no clear answer, he was even a little confused about why he did it.

Pushing those thoughts aside, and the queasy feeling she got when she remembered about someone, she looked at her husband for five years. Seeing his familiar face, she really had nothing to worry about; after all, they were married.

He moved and his arm landed right over her flat tummy. She smiled when she felt him move her closer to him, a little bit possessively, she liked to think. She complied and closed her eyes, so what if he insisted that the window be open for the whole day tomorrow? He had promised to take the day off from his job as a doctor; tomorrow was their anniversary…their sixth year as a married couple. Her lips tilted to resemble a small, real smile.

She closed her eyes and sighed in contentment, Ichigo’s arm as her pillow, breathing the manly scent that was him.
