“Hey, Urahara.”

Urahara groaned and rolled over to face the boy, Ichigo had a bad habit of talking after sex when all he wanted to do was sleep. For some reason it was never just idle chitchat either, no it was always serious and most times a little depressing. He had a real knack for killing the afterglow. Urahara just hoped that tonight the talk wouldn’t last long, he was really very tired.

“You know what I just realized?”

Urahara stretched and yawned, popping his jaw loudly. “What’s that Kurosaki-san?”

Ichigo growled. “Well first could you at least drop the –san? I mean shit; we’ve been together for how long now? Like 5, 6 months?”

Urahara smiled. “Okay, then. What have you realized Kurosaki?” Urahara nuzzled the boy’s neck attempting to distract him to a more pleasant activity. Ichigo pushed him away with a frown.

“Stop messing around, this is serious.”

Sighing Urahara propped himself up on an elbow, it was best to just hear the boy out, answer any questions and then try to sleep again. “Go ahead.”

“Well, I was just thinking that when I die I’ll go to Soul Society and become a shinigami but when you die you’ll be reborn as a human.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Well, don’t you think that sucks?” When Urahara just stared at him Ichigo huffed and rolled over muttering a quiet ‘whatever’. Urahara chuckled and pulled the boy back around. “Perhaps you should explain the problem to me.”

Ichigo gaped at the man. He appeared to be quite shocked but for what reason Urahara didn’t know. Suddenly he was being punched in the arm.

Hard.

“We won’t be together then you asshole! Or do you just not give a shit?”

Frowning Urahara idly rubbed the spot where Ichigo had hit him as he contemplated what the boy had said. Well, yelled was more like it. This was obviously upsetting for him but Urahara couldn’t really see why. He had realized long ago that that’s how things would happen but he’d never given it much thought. He was going to live hundreds of years more so it doesn’t matter so much if Ichigo dies. Not that the event wouldn’t be sad for various other reasons but it wouldn’t mean the end of their relationship. There’s no question that the boy will be a shinigami and when he’s placed in a squadron, no doubt as captain, he’ll be able to visit. Hell, Urahara may even sneak into Soul Society to see him on occasion; Ichigo will be busy with his duties after all and might not be able to get away that often.

Urahara tells him that but it just makes Ichigo look sad.

“But what if things don’t work out that way? What if it’s you who dies first? You’ll be reborn and what if I can’t find you?”

Urahara hadn’t even considered that. In fact, he avoided thinking about it. He planned on living a very long time, but the boy had a point, one that Urahara couldn’t deny as valid and quite frankly a little scary. He sighed as he tried to think of a way to comfort Ichigo, to make things okay, but he just couldn’t come up with anything. He decided to just say what he thought and hope for the best. Running his fingers lightly through Ichigo’s hair he whispered, “Well then, I guess we should make the most out of the time we do have.”

Ichigo frowned and started to protest but stopped before saying anything. Long minutes stretched by as the boy lay there quietly, seemingly thinking it through. Eventually he sighed and nodded.

“Yeah, I guess you’re right. There’s not really anything we can do, but I swear if you die first I will hunt you down and make you regret it.” Ichigo glared at Urahara for a minute, then pulled his head down to kiss him hungrily.

As Ichigo proceeded to kiss him senseless, Urahara vowed to be more careful from then on. He’d hate to lose these moments with Ichigo. Besides, the thought of the boy hunting him down with murderous intent was almost as scary as losing him completely.
