‘Er, Yumichika?’ Ikkaku stood in the doorway, one hand rubbing his bald head nervously, shifting his weight from foot to foot. ‘D’you have a minute? Can I … ask you something?’
Yumichika looked at Ikkaku’s tense body language and expression with concern, and put his moisturiser down (he’d gotten shit from the other division members until they saw all the girls marvelling over his skin, and how soft and well-looked-after it was). ‘Sure come in,’ he said warmly. ‘What’s your problem?’
Ikkaku’s face turned red with embarrassment. ‘Well… um…’ he fluttered his other hand around, unsure where to put it. Two hands on the head would look stupid, one hand on the sword hilt could look threatening and he wasn’t into intimidating friends, so he jammed it into his pocket.
‘Spit it out, Ikkaku, I haven’t got all day. People to do, things to see.’
‘Well… the others wanna know… we drew straws…. Yachiru got the short one…’ he trailed off, grimacing, turning redder than before, ‘but we thought you’d take it better if someone else asked you - so they picked me. I’m. Sorry. I -we - gotta know… Yumichikareyougay?’
Having said what he was sent to say, Ikkaku continued blushing with embarrassment at having to ask his oldest, closest friend such a personal question. He was going to kill Zaraki and Yachiru - embarrassment would substitute rage, and they’d be dead - all Yumichika had to do was answer so he could get the fuck outta there…
‘No, I’m not gay.’ It was in a calm enough tone, so Ikkaku raised his eyes from his toes, blush fading. He’d had his suspicions, but had since decided it really didn’t matter - Yumi was Yumi not matter what his sexual orientation - and he was really just doing this because Zaraki and Yachiru had a bet, and if he hadn’t done it, Zaraki was going to give Yachiru free-rein on the head-chomping thing. Talk about blackmail.
Yumichika smiled, his face glowing.
‘I’m bi.’
When he woke up, he was in fourth, with Zaraki and Unohana discussing his reaction, and Yachiru stuffing her face with candy. She’d won.
