Chapter 1
Grimmjow heard a knock on his office door and didn't even bother to answer it. He knew who it was. It was Kenpachi, his boss, bring in his new 'partner'. This new guy from New York city or something. Grimmjow didn't care he still rather have Renji but he ran off on his honeymoon with his new husband and when he gets back he'll be his manager. Now Grimmjow has to meet some new guy he just knows he's going to hate. He doesn't even know what he looks like or what his personality type is but he doesn't care, he hates everything. That's just how he is.
"Grimmjow" Kenpachi said "This is Ichigo Kurosaki, he's your new coworker and you two will be sharing this office so be nice."
Grimmjow looked up at the door and looked at the new guy. He had bright orange hair, tan skin, and the most chocolately brown eyes Grimmjow had ever seen. He knew it he'd hate the kid. "I'd rather have, Red" Grimmjow growled
"Well you got me so suck it up" Ichigo snapped at him with a small smirk
Grimmjow looked at Kenpachi "Kenny, you said we can't have two cocky people in one office"
"Grimm" Kenny said "suck it up and play nice"
Kenpachi pushed Ichigo in the office and closed the door. Ichigo walked over to the empty desk and set the box in his hands down on top of hit. He began to take the things out of the box and set them up on the desk and then his phone rang.
"Hey, Red" Ichigo said when he answered his phone
Grimmjow's head popped up. How does he know Red?
"Yeah he's a douche, you were right…. I didn't bet you anything" he heard his phone beep "hold on Red, its Yorichi I'll three way you guys" he pulled the phone off his ear, tapped the screen, and put it back up to his ear "Is everyone here…. No Yorichi, I just got here. I've only met one person." He looked at Grimmjow for a while studying him and then turned his head "You could say so, he definitely has the douchebag hot guy qualities…. Yes they do when I first met Renji he had em….. yes you did even at 11 you were a dick… don't laugh its not funny I bet you don't act like that toward Byakuya"
Grimmjow growled loud enough for Ichigo to hear him, he was getting tired of him already.
"Let me get off this phone, blueberry's getting angry… yea it's like the gayest blue I've ever seen" Ichigo laughed "Ok, I'll see you later" he hung up the phone
"You have no right to talk about someone's hair, carrot top" Grimmjow said, annoyance clear in his voice
Ichigo continued unpacking his things and laughed "Why do you say that?" he said with looking up
"Cuz your hair color ain't so straight itself"
"I know you don't have to tell me"
Grimmjow rolled his eyes "How do you know Red?"
Ichigo finished unpacking his box and sat down in his leather chair. He spun around a little.
"Technically, he's my cousin. Actually, I gave him the name Red, well, me and my twin"
"You have a twin?" 'Oh god there can't be two of them' Grimmjow thought
"Yes, I have a twin" he took the picture of him, Shiro, and Renji at their high school graduation and walked over to Grimmjow "Shiro" he pointed to his copy with the gold eyes "he's the one with the gold eyes"
"Well duh" he grabbed the picture and they touched hands accidentally Grimmjow felt something but shook it off. "Is he an editor too?"
"Nope, oddly enough he's a lawyer, well he's in law school."
"Why is it odd?"
"Cuz I was the one focused on school and he was the party twin he drank, he smoked, he fucked, he partied all the time and the oddest thing is he's married."
"Married? I'm married"
"You're married? Eww why is everyone around me married? Renji, Shiro, you eww"
"What's wrong with marriage?"
"I'm 25 I still have a life to live. How old are you? Like 30?"
"I'm 27 and marriage is a good thing if its with the right person and you're in love with them"
"That's they said and I still don't understand. I mean why can't I be with someone I love and not marry them. And I've seen it myself when people get married they stop fucking."
"I don't know who you've been talking to but I still fuck daily and I know for a fact Red and Bya never stop having sex."
"That's just two"
"What about your twin?"
"His husband works all the time and Shiro's always working on school stuff. So no time for fuckin"
"Well that's just one couple. Kenny's married and he has a kid"
"I saw the pictures on the desk." He sighed and walked back to his desk with his picture in his hand "I'll have to think more on this marriage thing"
"Ok Strawberry"
"Strawberry" Ichigo parroted "That's new" he said sarcastically
Grimmjow drove home with thoughts of Ichigo. Why didn't that kid like marriage? Maybe his parents got divorced, but that's not enough, is it? Why do I care so much? Grimmjow shook his head What is wrong with me? He whispered to himself. He didn't even know why he was such an advocate for marriage his marriage was barely holding up. He might be getting a divorce, he and his wife have a lot to work out but he still believes if you love someone enough you can work it out and he's willing to try.
Grimmjow pulled into his driveway and sat there for a while. Why was he thinking about Ichigo so much? He shook his head again and got out of the car. He slowly walked to his door, found his house keys, and as soon as he opened the door his legs were quickly squeezed by a little girl with sea green hair and grey eyes.
"Daddy!" she squealed
"Hey, Nel" he said instantly happy. He bent over to pick her up. "How was your day?"
"Today I played with my best friend, Yachiru, and we played outside and she fell and hurt herself then she got a bandaid and then we learned our shapes and letters and numbers and.."
"Whoa, slow down" he said ending her never ending sentence "Where's mommy?"
"She's in the kitchen"
"Thanks, Nel" he set her down gently and walked to the kitchen "Ran" he called out. When he walked in the kitchen she was sitting at the kitchen table talking on the phone. "Did you go grocery shopping?" he asked already irritated
"No" she said quickly
"Why not" he growled
"Busy"
He sighed, he hated it when she gave him one word answers. "Doin what you don't work"
"I do work"
"When you need to but right now you're living off my pay check"
"So…"
"So I expect you to buy groceries with my money"
"What is your point?" she flicked her hair and Grimmjow noticed she got her nails done.
"Did you get your nails done today?" now a little angry
"Yeah, aren't they pretty" she held out her hand for him to see
"No, and imagine you got your hair done too, didn't you?"
"Well duh, you can't get one without the other plus my blonde was coming out"
Grimmjow sighed heavily and ran his hand through his hair, a sign he was about to start yelling but before he opened his mouth Nel called him.
"Daddy" she said quietly standing next to the door "Are you and mommy arguing, again?"
Grimmjow sighed again, he couldn't be angry around his baby girl. "No we're not arguing" he picked her up "we were just talking"
"But you were about to yell"
"No I wasn't"
"Un hun, you breaved really hard and you put your fingers in your hair"
Grimmjow laughed a little "Since when did you pay so much attention to me?"
"Always"
"Well how bout we get you some dinner. What did you want?"
"Candy" Grimmjow gave her the 'serious dad' look "Pizza?"
"Good job" he smiled "So pizza with pepperoni, bacon, and extra cheese"
"You're going to make her fat" Rangiku said flicking her strawberry blonde hair and standing up "My poor baby will blow up like a balloon" she walked past them into the living room.
"I wish you'd blow up like a balloon" he said under his breath
"Daddy" Nel said in a warning tone
"Sorry" he put her down "Lets go get your pizza"
"No" Rangiku said "She has to take a bath. She's been playing dirt all day"
"But mommy" Nel whined
Rangiku pointed to the stairs "Up stairs"
"Daddy" she whined to Grimmjow knowing he would fight for her freedom
"Ran" he tried
"Grimm, she's dirty she need a bath"
Grimmjow sighed, Nel played hard she probably did need a bath, he looked down at Nel "Sorry kiddo"
Nel pouted and marched up stairs. Grimmjow pulled out his phone and dialed the number to the pizza parlor he favored. "Hello…pick up…can I have a large pepperoni pizza with bacon and extra cheese….that is all…thank you" he hung up his phone "Ran, I'm leaving"
"Whatever" was her careless response
Grimmjow rolled his eyes, he knew the pizza wouldn't be ready when he got to the restaurant but he also didn't want to sit in his broken home. He walked to his car and quickly drove to the pizza parlor. He got out of his car and walked in, he looked for someone to sit and he surprisingly saw someone familiar.
"Strawberry?" he called out. Said man lifted his head and looked over at him. When Ichigo noticed it was Grimmjow he smiled and ushered him over.
"So what has you here?" Ichigo asked when Grimmjow sat down across from him.
"This is a pizza parlor, why else would be here?" he said sarcastically
"I mean how did you come to find this little parlor its not exactly popular?"
"Oh.. I was driving around one day and I decided to try it out. Love the pizza ever since. What brings you here?"
"My uncle slash dad's best friend owns it with his wife and kids. I come in to get free stuff plus they're the only people I know in California, well until Renji and Bya come back from their honeymoon."
"How long have they been there?"
"Two weeks"
"Why did you leave New York?"
"I wanted a new start"
"So you moved from one side of the country to the other?"
Ichigo laughed causing Grimmjow to smile "Yeah, plus this is the only place where I know people. Everyone else lives in New York"
"Well now you know me"
"I don't know if that's good or bad" Ichigo smiled
Grimmjow was about to say something 'asshole like' but he was interrupted"
"Ichigo, my third gay husband" A women with purple hair and gold cat like eyes walked from the kitchen and over to Ichigo. She hugged him and sat on his lap.
"Why am I third" he laughed
"Everyone knows Bya-boo is first cuz we love each other and then it's Shiro"
"Why is Shiro second?"
"Cuz he's like me and he doesn't ask me why I do things. You, however, are like Bya-boo always asking questions and shit sometimes I just need you to be 'Ok you do that'"
Ichigo rolled his eyes "Whatever"
Yorichi looked over to Grimmjow "I've seen you before" She snapped her fingers "The wedding"
"Really?!"
"You probably didn't see him cuz you passed out after the 'I do's'"
"That was you?" Grimmjow laughed
"Yup" Yorichi answered "He hates marriage so much he almost died from being in one"
"Shut up. I told you guys I was sick. I went to the doctor the day before and he said sleep and I said no cuz I have a wedding to go to. I swayed the whole time and as soon as they 'I do' it got dark"
"I think I remember that" Grimmjow said "They said 'I do' and then there was a loud thud" he laughed
"That was Ichigo dying" Yorichi laughed "Bya-boo was so mad. You know he's spoiled rotten and any attention not on him is attention wasted"
"I said I was sorry. I was really sick."
"Renij fucked him over it, he's fine now"
"Really?"
"Yup, I just talked to them they were having a sex break"
"They've been fucking for two weeks straight" Grimmjow said "Aren't they supposed to be coming back next week?"
"Yup" Yorichi answered
"If Byakuya was a woman he'd be super prego" Ichigo said
"Thank God he's not a woman"
"Yorichi!" they heard someone yell and Yorichi went still, only two people talked to her like that her husband, Kisuke, and Byakuya. And since Byakuya was away it was her husband.
"Yes, honey" she said sweetly
"I thought you were washing the dishes?" he walked out the kitchen with a serious look on his face.
"I was and then I realized I didn't want the paint on my nails to chip." She help out her hand "See they look like cat claws. Roar" she did a mock roar while pretending to scratch like a cat.
Kisuke walked up to her and pulled her off Ichigo's lap. Things got quiet quickly. They looked at each other, Kisuke looked away first rolling his eyes. He kissed her softly. "You're such a handful."
She grinned "You love my handfuls"
He grabbed her ass "That I do" they began kissing forgetting anyone was there, then Ichigo cleared his throat. They stopped and looked at him.
"Hey, Ichigo" Kisuke said
"Hello, dirty old man"
Kisuke pretended to be offended "Ouch" he grinned and pulled a chair up to the table. "So how was your first day on the job?" he pulled Yorichi on his lap
"It was okay, I met Grimm here" he pointed to said man
"Oh my favorite customer" Kisuke said turning to him "Your pizza should be ready soon" he turned back to Ichigo "You didn't call your father today"
Ichigo rolled his eyes "I still have time, it's like 8:00 over there I got time. What is he worried about?"
"He loves you Ichi, he's worried"
"Whatever, I'll call before I got to bed"
"Did you talk to Shiro today?"
"Nope, not yet" Ichigo's phone then rang and he pulled it out of his pocket. "Speak of the devil" he tapped the screen a little "You're on speaker. I'm Yorichi, Kisuke, and my new friend Grimm"
"I wouldn't say we were friends" Grimmjow said sarcastically
"Grimm from the wedding?" Shiro said
"Yup" Grimm answered
"How does everyone know you?"
"We all met at the reception while you were out dyin cuz someone got married" Shiro teased
"I wasn't cuz they were getting married" Ichigo snapped
"Well it wasn't because they were getting divorced"
Ichigo crossed his arms over his chest "whatever"
"Is he pouting" Shiro said in a baby voice "You want big bruda to come ova' there and kiss you"
"Two minutes hardly makes you older than me" he growled
"Two minutes or two hours, Ichigo I'm eldest" Shiro said "But on to other news, seems like Bya and Renji are coming back early"
"Really" Yorichi said "he didn't tell me that"
"Just happened. Apparently, they need Bya to write a new book immediately and he has to meet up with the book company about it. He's not too happy"
"Of course not" Yorichi said then her phone rang "Speak of the devil" she tapped the phone "Kisuke, Ichi, and Grimmy is here and Shiro's on the phone"
"Hey guys" Renji said
"Hey, Renji" they said in unison
"Maybe we should video chat" Ichigo said. Everyone agreed. Ichigo got his computer and a video chat was opened. Once everyone was seen the conversation started up "Bya, why's your hair all messy?" Shiro asked
"Did you two just fuck" Grimmjow asked
"He was sad I had to make him feel better" Renji grinned. Byakuya elbowed him with his arms crossed. "Ouch. What?"
"Why are you so happy? Our honeymoon is being cut short" he pouted
"We've been fucking for two weeks. How much dick do you need? OWW" Renji yelped "You're going to get enough of pinching my nips" he crossed his arms "Crazy old man" Everyone gasped. Byakuya's eyes widened and Renji realized what he said and began apologizing profusely. Byakuya huffed and got off the couch, Renji didn't follow knowing he'd get hurt if he did. "Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it" he yelled
"What the fuck, Red" Grimmjow said
"What are you? Slow?" Shiro said
"Do you have a death wish?" Ichigo said
Yorichi sat down next to Kisuke, she missed everything because she was thirsty. "What happen? Where's Bya-boo?"
"Renji called him old" Grimm, Ichigo, Shiro, and Kisuke said in unison
"Are you stupid?" she yelled at Renji "The one thing you don't call him is old. What is…"
"I'll show you old" they heard Byakuya say before Renji ducked to get out of the way of a cup aimed at his head
"Baby, I'm sorry" he held his hands up surrendering
"If I'm so old, how come you're the one who couldn't keep up?"
Renji's eyes got wide "Shut up about that. I was tired"
Byakuya walked back over to the couch and sat down "I'll bet you think about that next time you call me old"
"Renji, you whipped" Shiro said
"I am not whipped" Renji pouted "I just know when to pick my battles"
"Words from the book of a whipped man" Ichigo said laughing
"Whatever" Renji pouted "What!?" he said looking at Byakuya "Guys, I gotta go Bya's giving me that look. I'll see you in two days"
"Bye guys" everyone said
"Grimm" Kisuke said "Your pizza's ready"
"Sounds great" Grimmjow grinned and stood up "I'll see you at work Ichigo"
"Okay" Ichigo smiled, although, he didn't know why
"I'd hit that" Yorichi said when he husband and Grimmjow were out of earshot
"You'd hit anything" Ichigo rolled his eyes
"That's why you're third" Shiro said laughing
Tell me what you think.
