[ ...Well that did it. Up until now, Ichigo had been doing well with keeping his thoughts, and reactions to himself. He didn't want anything he thought to influence Shiro's decision ( and when did they become two distinct entities, no one remembers ) so he did his level best not to let anything get through. But that, so lost sounding, and so fucking familiar coming out of someone with his face...well. Like a dam breaking, it's a big rush of empathy, relief, concern, fear, and above it all? Faith. Faith, and trust. Which is strange, considering their situation, but even OTHER PEOPLE had noticed how far Shiro has come. He's an immature, power-crazy, gluttonous brat at times to be sure...but sometimes he's the best, most loyal friend, too. The one that you are glad is on your side, because he's a fucking beast, with power in spades, and no qualms about using it.
Ichigo's hands tighten in the fabric under them, but he doesn't actually say anything. Because for better, or worse, he's more restrictive with himself than Shiro is. He doesn't know how to put any of it into words, and it all sounds stupid. But it's true. Sighing, he lets his head hang too, just so he can see Shiro's eyes in the reflection of the water.
You turned bitterest hatred into love, Shiro. If you can do that, being human is a piece of cake. ]
