...But all that died in his throat when Shiro pinned him with the ghostly, but hurt looking black, and gold eyes. Ichigo opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. So he frowned hard, and just ran a hand through Shiro's hair. It felt nice. It did feel nice to have someone who knew him inside and out, someone he could always rely on, and someone who - just once in a while - saved him. ]
