[May 30] [Bleach] Funny face

[grassangel]

Title: Funny face (or why Orihime slapped Ulquiorra)

Day/Theme: May 30, 'there is a crack in everything (that's how the light gets in)'
Series: Bleach
Characters/Pairing: Orihime, Ulquiorra. (Not supposed to be a pairing)
Rating: PG
Genre: General?

Note: Not supposed to be UlquiHime at all, though... Orihime is weird like that though, so... yeah. I just thought this was a neat idea. 

 

It's funny, Ulquiorra-san is an arrancar, which means his hollow mask has been removed. But he's actually got another one as well and it's not the lobster one on his head. That one is ugly and oh-so-very obvious and that one is the removed hollow mask, which makes me wonder what kind of hollow he was to have a lobster for a head. That one isn't the mask I'm talking about though.
You can't see it, except may when he goes all cold and emotionless and his face goes all dead and then maybe you can see it, but only then, while his face is dead.

It's kind of like how Kurosaki-kun keeps frowning because he doesn't want people to know he cares for them, which is exactly what Tatsuki does sometimes too. Or it's like how Ishida-kun will pretend to be all cool and aloof while he's actually fantasizing about sewing silken gowns for plushies.

I bet he's trying to hide something, like all the others are. Maybe he's like a hybrid mix of Kurosaki and Ishida and doesn't want people to know he actually cares about them and clams up like an oyster to protect that!
Only... I think it's a bit more serious than that. Or at least it would be if it were true.
I can't tell if it is or isn't. That second mask isn't cracked.

He's never smiled once, not once after all the times I've smiled at him, tried to make him laugh with my funny stories. There aren't any cracks to look through in that mask of his but I want to see if he is like Kurosaki or Ishida and only hiding and then maybe, maybe, we might be friends.

And maybe, if I could find a crack, or maybe even make one, that'd be the first step.
