Renjhime

Abarai Renji

Can't believe Ichigo and Rukia are finally together...

Abarai Renji

(I should be happy for them, but why does it hurt so much?)

Inoue Orihime

I know how you feel, Abarai-kun. It's... difficult.

Inoue Orihime

I made a special bento to cheer us up. Want to try some?

Abarai Renji

Sure, I guess. What's in it?

Abarai Renji

(Please don't let it be one of her weird combinations...)

Inoue Orihime

It's my new recipe! Chocolate-covered takoyaki with wasabi ice cream!

Inoue Orihime

I call it 'Heartbreak Helper Surprise'!

Abarai Renji

This is... actually not bad?!

Abarai Renji

(I can't believe I'm enjoying this. Orihime's pretty amazing...)

Inoue Orihime

Really? I'm so glad you like it, Abarai-kun!

Inoue Orihime

(Wow, Abarai-kun's smile is so warm... Why haven't I noticed before?)

Abarai Renji

Hey, Inoue... Wanna grab some coffee? You know, to wash down this... interesting combo.

Abarai Renji

(Am I really asking her out? This feels... right somehow.)

Inoue Orihime

I'd love to, Abarai-kun! Maybe we can brainstorm more recipes!

Inoue Orihime

(Is this the start of something new? My heart's beating so fast!)
