*~*~*~*
Ichigo tilted his head to the side as he sipped his tea, eyes turning to the side before humming and putting his cup down. “Two more fights are done,” he musingly said, flicking his eyes to Phil. The older male raised an eyebrow before nodding his head with a hum.
“Indeed there is,” Phil replied, looking away from his cup and towards where the fights could be felt, feeling the reitsu being thrown around disappear. “I think that they are heading towards the Eleventh,” he continued, turning back to the amused looking Ichigo. “Most likely Thor by the lightening and Steve by the fact that Ikkaku didn’t pull out his lucky dance. He rarely does it for hand to hand.”
“So Rogers was hand to hand was he?” Ichigo hummed, getting a nod from the other male. “I had wondered. You can barely feel their souls, like tiny flickering flames amongst a sea of bonfires,” he said. Phil stared at him as the young male sipped his tea, smiling when brown eyes flicked upwards towards him. “What?”
Phil’s smile grew just a bit. “I’ve never heard that you were poetic,” he said, sitting back slightly on his pillow.
Ichigo blushed and shrugged one shoulder. “Yeah, well, things happen,” he said, hiding behind his cup once more. Phil just continued to smile, mind working over time about what was being said and what wasn’t. Ichigo just smiled softly at him. “As much as I care for those who are here, they are fighters and rarely look for the truth to a person unless it comes up,” he slowly told the other. “Rukia only knows about what I read and what I do because she lived in my closet for a while there.”
“She doesn’t sound as good of a friend as I was lead to believe,” Phil said, putting his tea cup down before pouring himself a fresh cup.
“They tend to see what they wish and she does not help with her stories,” Ichigo hummed softly, shrugging one shoulder before he sighed. “I don’t bother fighting against it. They will believe what they wish so it’s just not worth fighting it.”
“No, I don’t think that it would be worth it,” Phil mused, shaking his head with a frown on his lips. “So, tell me about yourself. I take it that my friends have told you about me, yes?” he asked.
Ichigo nodded, holding out his cup to the other, getting it refilled. “Yes, they talked about you. Especially Clint. He really does respect and love you. His every word is filled with it, dripping with it. It...makes me want something like that for myself. But I doubt that I will see it anytime soon,” he said. Leaning his elbow on the table, other hand tucked into the crook while his chin rested on his palm, he huffed lowly. “I don’t know what I’m going to do actually. I’m in college, my friends are pairing off, finding love and a happy path to follow. But I’m…”
“Floundering? Wondering where to go and how to get there?” Phil asked. Ichigo nodded, brown eyes sad as he played with his kosode. “If you had a chance to get away from here for a time, to do some of your college years overseas, with a job that allows you to do what you need to do, would you take it?” he asked, planning already.
“If I could, yes. There are more Shinigami patrolling Karakura, so I wouldn’t have to worry too much about that. If I could set up a gate that will get me back and forth quickly should something happen, it would be a welcomed reprieve,” Ichigo admitted, staring at Phil.
Phil put his tea cup once more and nodded his head. “I’m sure that Tony would enjoy having a nagging assistant once more if you don’t mind New York or following him around randomly,” he said. Ichigo blinked. “It would let Pepper worry less over him knowing that he had you to bug him into eating, get out of the lab, and make sure he’s ready for important things.”
“Is that what I would be doing?” Ichigo asked, sounding highly amused. Phil nodded. “So I would be his glorified babysitter? I take it that it will be well paid considering how I wanted to smack the man with a thick sheath of paper when I first met him?”
Phil chuckled and nodded his head. “Of course. When I died, Pepper was working on finding him a new assistant that he could stand or actually keep for a while,” he said.
Ichigo smiled slightly, the look softening his face and making his eyes sparkle with something that sent heat shooting through Phil. “I think I can do that. Just as long as they don’t expect me to be their nanny. I am not a superhero babysitter without a lot of pay and time off,” he teased, getting a low chuckle from the older male.
“I’m sure that they’ll be fine on their own, outside of Banner and Stark,” Phil assured him. “When everything is done, I’ll pull Stark aside and ask him to set you up. I’m sure he’ll happily give you an apartment in the same building, a job, and a recommendation to your choice of college,” he said.
“I’m sure. As for Banner, I think he loses himself in the science. All of the math and hows and whys. It keeps him balanced from what I’ve read and seen of him,” Ichigo mused, tapping his pointer finger against his lips. “I think it can be a good thing up until he forgets to eat or sleep. The same with Stark. He’s hiding from his demons, his history I’m guessing. People can only guess at his history and what happened behind closed doors, but there are still signs.”
“Let’s just say Tony’s life growing up hadn’t been a happy one,” Phil said, sighing softly and shaking his head. “Anyways, if you did do this, what would your friends say about you heading to New York to work and study?” he asked.
Ichigo hummed thoughtfully before finishing his tea. “My living friends would be happy for more and keep in contact with me no matter what. We’ve been through some life changing things in a short amount of time. We had to trust each other then and we trust each other now.” He paused in thought, nibbling at his bottom lip. “Friends from here, I don’t know for sure. Renji, Ikkaku, Yumichika, and a few others would keep in touch but others would probably feel like I’m running away.” He looked to Phil. “Running from my duties.”
“You are a substitute, nothing more, nothing less,” Phil stated, Ichigo nodding his head. “You’re to watch over the living world no matter where you are located. You’re not supposed to be fighting a war for them, much less anything else.”
“Yeah, well much like Rogers, I’m a war hero and they expect this some kind of martyr who is willing to give up everything for them. At least from certain fronts. The taichos and fukutaichos, some seated officers, know me well enough all things considered, and wouldn’t mind. As I said, Karakura is well covered and since I’ve learned how to rein in my power, I don’t draw as many hollows,” Ichigo sighed, rubbing through his hair with a hand. “I need to get away though.”
“Yes, you seem like you do,” Phil hummed, feeling something that he hadn’t felt for anyone but Clint unfurl in his heart. He wanted to protect the young male and wondered if his husband had felt the same thing when he had met him. “I’ll talk to Stark, explain things and have him start what needs to be done to get you over there legally,” he promised.
Ichigo smiled and nodded his head. “That sounds like a good plan. I’ll talk to Yamamoto about helping me to set up something there,” he said, Phil smiling as he waved at the waitress.
“How about we have some lunch and then head to the First? My treat,” Phil offered. “They have some wonderful dishes from around the world that you might like.”
“That sounds perfect,” Ichigo said, taking the offered menu with a smile, settling in to enjoy a nice lunch with someone he found himself attracted to.
