Hello everyone! Here is my second written fanfic. It was inspired by and RP made by me Grimmjow page and an awesome Ichigo page.
The link to my Grimmjow page is in my Bio. Give it a like and happy reading!
It was another normal day in Karakura with the people heading back to their homes, some exhausted while the others excited to go back to their families.
Among them was Ichigo Kurosaki who just finished his work with the annoying and always yelling woman called Ikumi Unagiya, delivering a weird shaped package to a shady person. His job was to deliver the package and leave without asking any questions which he did exactly.
He walked casually down the streets until a familiar shade of blue caught his eye. Ichigo turned and looked at the other side of the street confirming what he saw "Grimmjow! What are you doing here?" He asked in a defensive tone assuming the blue head came to make a ruckus in his town which he wouldn't stand for and had his hand ready at his badge ready to fight.
Grimmjow had his signature grin looking at Ichigo as he walked up to him. He pushed off the wall he was leaning on and stood in front of the ginger with his hands in his pockets "Kurosaki. Long time no see. What are your plans for tonight?" He looked casual and cocky like he always did with ego rolling off his body.
Ichigo looked at him in disbelief and blinked twice then opened his mouth to answer but nothing came out making Grimmjow grin more "Panther got your tongue Kurosaki?"
The later blinked again "Why are you asking what am I doing tonight? More importantly why are you here? What murderous plans do you have this time?" His voice was untrusting and filled with anger to how cool the other acted.
Grimmjow ran his hand through his hair flexing his bicep "I'm here to take you out on a date" His grin stayed in place looking at the ginger waiting for an answer
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He growled. "You're probably gonna take me in the middle of nowhere!" His anger showed through his words after his mind caught up to what the blue head asked.
"Actually I was thinking about a nice restaurant but I like your idea better coz that's what you really want isn't it?" He teased with a playful smirk
His jaw had dropped as he eyed him blankly. "You?! Restaurant?!" His face showed nothing but disbelief but that soon turned into his usual grumpy face. "Yeah? Then what? Slaughter me when no one's looking?"
Grimmjow rolled his eyes at him "No just have some fun and spend time together. You know nothing about me Kurosaki" He stepped closer to him looking him straight in the eye.
Ichigo looked him up and down observing his body language trying to spot a tell if he was lying to him which made him observe the muscular form of the blue head as well "Hoho~ Are you Grimmjow or an impostor or something?" He sneered. He didn't budge at the growing closeness. "Stop playing around~ what do you want from me?"
He stepped too close to him their chests almost touching and whispered in his ear with that grin of his in place "All of you".
Ichigo's playfulness had diminished in an instant, his eyes had widened as he stared into the distance to his words. His cheeks had flushed and quickly stepped away with an anger mark popping over his temple. "What the hell is wrong with you?! What do you even mean by that?"
He shrugged his shoulders and backed up a little "Exactly what I told you. I may be a lot of things Kurosaki but I'm not a lair. If you don't believe me just try at least. You and I both know you're strong enough to stop me from killing you so what do you have to lose?" He challenged with the same grin fixated on his face.
He raised his hand as to gesture a pause and shook his head a little, getting back to his blank expression. "So you wanna say that you have no grudge against me for beating up your ass in Hueco Mundo? And now you wanna take me out on a date..?" He tilted his head seeming to not understand his reasons. "Why though?"
"What's in the past is in the past. Aizen is gone and the war is over. We know how we battle so how about we get to know each other on a deeper level" he replied with an earnest look that promised only the truth of what he said.
Ichigo looked thoughtful; his expression had changed to a stern one as he eyed him. Seeming satisfied he sighed, a nod had followed. He shrugged. "You haven't been in the Human World much, huh? I'll be tour guide then?" He shrugged while rubbing the back of his neck.
The grin that followed wasn't the usual one but one of pure happiness. "Where should we go first?" He asked as his shoulders relaxed and went to stand next to the ginger
He smiled only a little before shrugging, "Walk by the beach? You wanted to go there?"
"Yeah I'd like that" he replied with a small smile on his lips "shall we?"
"Sure." He nodded with a smile, stepping ahead as he had lead the way. He had waited until the Espada had caught up to him.
They walked side by side in silence at first. It wasn't awkward or anything but the whole point of Grimmjow coming to the world of the living was to get to know the ginger walking next to him so he decided to break the silence "So, tell me about yourself. What do you usually do in the human world?"
Ichigo looked over to the side to him before he looked ahead of them. "Not much actually. I am usually stuck up with Unagi. There isn't much to do when everyone is busy with life~" He chuckled a little. "What about you? How are things in Hueco Mundo?" Ichigo had finally started a small talk with him.
"Now that Aizen is gone it's actually boring" he shrugged "hollows are back to their usual routines. You know killing each other and craving for power. That's why I came here to meet you. I was bored and thought picking on you would be fun" he teased with a playful grin.
Ichigo's eyebrows twitched in annoyance as he looked over to the side of the taller man. "Must be fun?" He rolled his eyes sarcastically. "Ah! We're here~" Ichigo pointed to the shore ahead, he had brought him to nearest beach.
Grimmjow was so taken by the view of the sea and how calm and beautiful it looked. The sand was so clean and soft so Grimmjow took off his shoes. Before he could say to Ichigo to do the same he looked at the young man and fell silent at how peaceful he seemed staring at the sea with his hair glowing because of the moon so he stood there and kept looking at him with soft eyes and an intent smile.
Ichigo seemed dazed as soon as he stopped in their tracks. His eyes fixated on the calm waves that glistened silver with the moonlight. It was peaceful~ with a content sigh and a relaxed smile he turned his neck to meet those blue eyes that had been watching him. His eyes trailed down to his bare feet. "Oh.. I should too.." He raised his leg a little to reach for the shoe lace, while doing so he barely could keep his balance on one foot that he had been stumbling to his side making him fall on top of the blue head. Before he could realize it Grimmjow was on the soft sand as Ichigo fell on top of him after stumbling on one foot. When he opened his eyes he was looking straight into Ichigo's deep brown eyes who was frowning at him. "The sand would have been a better land than your body!" He complained but that was soon cut short with the unfamiliar touch on his lips.
Grimmjow's body moved too fast for him to realize what's happening or having the ability to stop himself, his lips crashed into Ichigo's and his hands found their way to the back of the gingers head and lower back.
It took him a good second to realize what happened, the realization only made his eyes widen. Ichigo laid on top frozen like a statue, his pupils acted like a sponge when it soaked the image of him just below him, his eyes shut. Finally getting over the initial shock, the Shinigami flailed over him, forcing their lips to part. In a hectic way he had scooted away from him. His face had burned to red as his eyes glistened with the moon light. "What the fuck was that for?!" He yelled, there he was a meter away, sitting on the soft sand.
After waking from the daze he was in and his mind catching up to what happened he looked up at the mad expression on the ginger and smirked "You're the one who threw yourself at me obviously that's what you wanted". Before the Shinigami could react he stood up and started walking. After a few steps he looked back at Ichigo "You coming or what?"
"It was a goddamn accident!" He growled at him while wiping his lips with the back of his palm. He had eyed his back until he had looked over. With click of his teeth he looked over to the undone shoe laces. Tying his shoe laces he stood up and followed him closely behind with hands in his pocket and head shook to the sea side.
'Way to go' Grimmjow said to himself. Now it's awkward between them after things were getting really friendly. Damn his urges. But he was determined to bring this night back on tracks. "So how are your family and your friends doing? You're still friends with that woman?" He asked hopping to calm the Shinigami down a little
His drifting mind was brought back with his question. But he didn't move his eyes from the white horizon as they walked. "Good." He spoke with his usual grumpy tone. "Orihime. Yes, I am." He still seemed bothered which annoyed Grimmjow as he gave him the cold shoulder. He was feeling bad for not controlling himself but he will be damned if he was going to apologize! And then an idea sparked in his mind. Having Ichigo distracted and looking at the sea was perfect! And with no warning he picked up the ginger and sprang towards the sea and jumped in with Ichigo on his shoulder when the water was deep enough.
Being swept off his feet he blinked until his body rested on his broad shoulder. "Uwaah~~ Put me down right now!" Ichigo growled in protest as he did struggle. He had pushed the Espada's head, hit the Espada. "Put me d-" He was cut off by water splashing all over. As soon as he got a loose end under the water he swam his way out of his reach and made his way above the surface to gasp for air. "You idiot!" He growled just after barely catching his breath.
"Oh come on Kurosaki lets have some fun!" He said as he splashed some water at the angry Shinigami. "Loosen up a little and lose that fixated scowl on your face" he teased then took a deep breath and went under the water again.
"This is NOT fun! How the hell is this fun?" He used his arm to block the water from hitting him. His eyebrows twitched more at the comment. "It's not beach hours that we can use the sea now! I am not taking responsibility if you fall sick or whate-" He blinked when the male had disappeared. "Oi! Are you even listening?!" He splashed the water in annoyance as he looked around, waiting for the male to reappear.
The darkness helped hide Grimmjow under the surface so it was easy to go around Ichigo without him noticing. He was still acting like his grumpy self but he needed to get the childish part of him out so they can have some fun time. So when he was behind Ichigo he started tickling the bottom of his feet making the ginger blink when he felt the tingling under his feet. In no time he was forced to laugh out, "Cut it out~" He protested as he moved his legs. With Grimmjow not stopping Ichigo frowned within the laugh. "I said stop it!" Taking a deep breath Ichigo ducked in under the water. Opening his eyes he faced the male, wasting not a second he swam towards him. Seeing the ginger coming at him he gestured with his hands to bring it and swam backwards while sticking his tongue out to intrigue him more.
The corner of his lips curved upwards into a playful smirk as he sped up. In no time he had grabbed him by his torso pushing him further into the deep. He watched him sink down with a victorious smirk that soon became a surprised face as his ankle was grabbed by Grimmjow pulling him down with him.
Ichigo was just about to reach for the surface for air when the sudden pull made him sink down, his vicinity turning dark as he moved away from the light. He struggled to get loose; he frowned as he glanced over his shoulder. He could barely see his face in the dark that he didn't know what move to make.
They have been under the water for a long time so Grimmjow was running out of breath and for sure so was Ichigo. So before swimming for the surface Grimmjow started tickling Ichigo's torso. The tickle only made him open his mouth to laugh causing air bubbles to make their way out. Knowing he was completely out of breath he quickly covered his mouth forcing his mouth shut.
After a few seconds of the Shinigami laughing Grimmjow held his hand and started swimming to the surface. "Now that's more like it Kurosaki" Grimmjow said with a laugh after he caught his breath.
With a loud gasp he finally took in a long deep breath of air as soon as their heads were above soft rustling waves. "Shut it!" With a rather evident smile he splashed water at his face to the laugh. It did seem he had fun ~
The way he laughed after all the tickling made him look more beautiful than ever in Grimmjow's eyes. "You know you look beautiful when you smile! Why do you keep scowling all the time?" The Arrancar asked keeping his eyes straight on Ichigo's. His comment only caused Ichigo's smile to drop and a blush became evident on his cheeks. "I'm no lady that you're gonna keep complimenting.." He had looked over to his side avoiding eye contact.
"What's wrong with compliments?" Grimmjow asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Or is it that you never got them so you're not used to it and that's why you're blushing?" He asked with a teasing smirk.
"It's not that!" He growled but soon gave up knowing he was right. With a click of his teeth he moved forward, crossing him. "I don't get it. What's wrong with you tonight? You are acting different." He lowly asked out what was bothering him.
"I'm not acting different. You only met me in battle. This is me when I'm not fighting." He replied and started swimming back to the beach
"From a bad guy to a good guy just in a second. That's a personality disorder." He scoffed sarcastically, rolling his eyes as he finally made his way to the shore.
"Oh really? And what defines a good guy or a bad guy? Is it fighting better than the rest? Or fighting for a purpose? Is me fighting for a purpose that's against yours makes me a bad person?" He asked and passed his hand through his hair trying to get the water out of it
"Fighting for no reason." He stole a glimpse of him over his shoulder. "You didn't have a well defined reason to fight. You fought for fun. That's not it. I am just concerned with this sudden change in you." He turned over while using his hand to back flip his hair to move his wet bangs away. "What changed you?"
"I didn't fight for nothing. I fought for pride and to prove I'm the strongest. Don't forget you and your friends killed my entire pack." He replied then looked at Ichigo. "And..Nothing changed me this is who I really am." He replied though his voice faltered to his dislike.
Ichigo eyed him for awhile, observing him. He shrugged brushing the entire thing away. "Then..you wanna stay here more or would wanna leave?" He looked down to his dripping wet clothes. "You can stay the night at my place." He offered with only a little friendly gesture.
Grimmjow considered the offer and then nodded in agreement. "I think I'm gonna need a change of clothes too" he replied scratching the back of his neck grinning at Ichigo.
He shot a small smile at him before turning away and led the way. "I doubt my clothes would even fit that large body of yours.." He teased.
"Pants will do fine. And you can keep enjoying my six pack." Grimmjow teased with his usual grin back in place and gesturing at his body since the water made all his clothes stick to it and all his muscles defined and clear beneath them
"Not interested~" He looked away after rolling his eyes, sarcastically.
"Keep telling yourself that!" He replied with a snicker. "How long is it gonna take to get there? And do you have an extra bed or something?" He asked looking at him for a brief moment.
"It's hard to walk with wet shoes, you twit!" He growled as he walked with longer heavy strides. "You. On the floor." He snickered
"I'm gonna sleep on the floor! That's how you treat your guests? I would have expected more of you Shinigami" he teased while walking closely behind the ginger.
"Hmm~?" He hummed playfully. "A stray cat wants to be treated like a 'guest'? You really are vivid~" He cooed before he broke to a soft chuckle.
Soon they had reached his front gate. While turning the knob he glanced over the blue head, "Listen here, shit head. I don't want you to make a single sound." He hoped that neither of his family members, certainly not his father, would see him here.
"Say whatever you want you know you like having me around!" He teased "I'll be as quite as a kitten" Grimmjow replied with a wide grin
He narrowed his eyes at him before he sighed, opening the door he walked in., looking around only a little he silently led him to the stairs. He pointed up the stairs. "I'll be there in a minute."
"Don't take too long" he said before climbing the stairs. He found Ichigo's room from his scent and went in. After closing the door he tookoff his clothes making them pile in the corner of the room.
Ichigo took rather too long to return. He had barged in, not caring to knock, carrying a cup of hot coffee that gave a light aroma and stacked clean towels. "I got you t.." He had trailed off to see the almost naked male before him. His eyebrows twitched as his face turned completely blank.
"What's that smell? Is it what you're drinking?" He asked not caring about not having clothes on, only caring about the lovely smell of the beverage
Averting his gaze from him he put down the cup on the desk calmly before he threw the towels at his face. "A minute was too long?!" He growled before sighing. He took out a clean pair of comfort clothes. "I got the bath ready for you. You can use it." He held the clothes for him to take.
"Thanks! Can I take that drink with me? I like it's aroma" He asked as he grabbed the clothes from Ichigo's hand and their skin barely touched to which Grimmjow felt a shock of electricity go through him.
"Coffee. I got it for you so go ahead." He turned to hand him the cup, "It's hot. Careful."
He smiled inwardly to the ginger's kindness "Umm….Thanks" He said awkwardly, took the cup and headed to the bathroom. Reaching there, he dipped himself in the water and enjoyed the warmth unlike the sea water which was quite cold.
Laying in the hot water and drinking the coffee was very relaxing. He enjoyed the bitter taste of the coffee and the sweet aroma it gave. He was very relaxed that at some point he was dozing off.
Ichigo on the other hand had dried himself and had changed into dry clothes. He also took care of the other male's wet clothes. He had been waiting until he ran out of patience that he made his way downstairs to the bathroom. He feared his sisters would come by any time. He knocked on the door loud enough for him to hear, "Oi. Are you still there?" Annoyance evident in his voice.
"I dozed off I'll be out in a minute" He yelled back and climbed out of the tub taking the towel Ichigo gave him before and dried off himself then wrapped it around his waist. He then grabbed the other clothes and headed to the door planning to continue dressing in Ichigo's room.
Ichigo stepped away from the door once he heard him. "Dozed off?" He raised an eyebrow at the word. He waited for him to get out giving him space to walk out.
"Yeah the water was relaxing!" He replied with a raised eyebrow to Ichigo's question. "I'm heading upstairs to get dressed unless you have a problem with that?" He asked with an irritated expression. All the questioning and doubting was getting on his nerves.
Ichigo didn't say anything to him at all after his answer. Instead he shook his head before stepping away from his path to the stairs.
As Grimmjow climbed the stairs for the second time that night he felt fire coming out of his ears. Why was ginger this doubtful of him?
It's true that they fought several times and almost killed each other but he did tell him that he is showing him his real self and he might not be a lot of things but he is a man of his word.
After he reached the room he closed the door gently so he won't wake up anyone and started getting dressed. When he was done he headed to the farthest point from the bed and laid on the floor trying to calm himself down.
Ichigo watched him leave. He could feel the irritated aura around him but he couldn't blame him. Ichigo still was in doubt since he was being treated way too nicely and he just couldn't let their 'kiss' slide away, just like that.
On the other hand Ichigo had cleaned his own room as neatly as he could to make Grimmjow feel comfortable in it. He even had a plate of Yuzu's food all warmed up set on the table of his room for the male. As much as Ichigo tried being ignorant of someone he did really care.
It had been rather too long that Ichigo didn't return. He was in the living room, lying on the couch with his phone. He had no intentions of bothering the new male anymore.
Grimmjow woke up after some time alone in the room. He wondered why Ichigo didn't come back to the room and was thirsty so might as well check it out. Though before leaving he noticed the plate filled with food which made him smile to himself. He admired the thoughtful act but after all that happened he lost his appetite.
When he went down stairs he found Ichigo sleeping on the couch and snoozing away. He didn't understand why he would sleep on the couch and thought that leaving would be the best thing to do.
Ichigo opened his eyes pryly when he felt the new presence nearby. Knowing it meant no harm he shifted in the small space lifting his head to turn to meet those blue eyes. "Hey.." He greeted with a husky voice as he sat up on the couch lazily. "What's up? Can't sleep?"
"Oh, hey. You're awake. Didn't mean to wake you but I'm leaving" Grimmjow said while looking at Ichigo thinking how cute he looked with his sleepy expression and messed up hair.
He shook his head with a smile to his apology. "It's fine. Needed something?" He asked not hearing him clearly as sleep was still taking over his senses
"Ah no. Thanks for the hospitality but I'm leaving" he said with a low voice to not wake the others in the house "see ya around Kurosaki" he finished and started walking towards the door
"Where to?" Confused, he asked while standing up.
"Back to Heuco Mondo. I dont want to annoy you anymore and clearly you are far from trusting me. So might as well call it a night"
"Annoy me.." He trailed off once he understood what he meant. He shook his head. "You were not annoying me but if that's what you want then alright." He didn't deny his words on trust. It would take much more than this to gain trust. He only shot a smile before hopping back onto the couch.
"See ya around Shinigami" he said and turned his back to him and started walking towards the door.
He simply waved him a goodbye as he watched him head to the door. For some reason he didn't like the fact that he was leaving. Until he finds it out he wasn't going to stop him. But it did seem from Ichigo's face that he was bothered.
Grimmjow walked in the darkness of the night looking at the stars. It was way more beautiful than the one in Hueco mondo. That one looked fake compared to the sky in the world of the living.
He wandered a little till he reached a small play ground. He choose to sit on the swing for a while letting his mind wander to a certain ginger and how the night didn't go to his liking even though he was sincere and nice to him. So he sat there irritated looking at the stars and moving the swing ever so weakly.
Back at the Kurosaki residence Ichigo sighed heavily once the male left. He made his way to his room without a second thought and hopped onto his bed. Shifting until he got himself into a comfortable position, he lay still on the bed, staring at the dark ceiling silently. Usually he would never bother to whatever happened the entire day with his friends or anyone but tonight was different. He couldn't get rid of him, that particular blue haired male. The male who had been nice to him unlike before and had actually shown his softer side. Who knows for how long he had been replaying tonight's scenes over and over again. Everything would go slow every time he would reach to one goddamn part of the night. The kiss. He used his index finger to trace his bottom lip. It apparently was the first kiss that he couldn't get out of his mind. Even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn't help but cherish that moment. He had a tingling feeling in him but only God knew what this unfamiliar thing was.
Oh, what was he even thinking! He shook his head frantically before turning on his chest and burying his face into the pillow to calm his fast beating heart. He'd rather be damned.
Grimmjow wasn't sure how long he stayed on that swing staring at the sky. It was soothing for the ache he felt in his chest.
Even though he was true and sincere through the evening, the ginger Shinigami doubted and questioned everything he did which felt like a punch to the guts.
He said he was going back to Heuco Mondo but didn't feel like going back to that gloomy place. So instead he laid down on a bench near the playground and decided to sleep on everything happened and have a plan on what to do next morning.
The morning following, Ichigo woke up from a not so well slumber, thanks to his cell phone blowing up early that morning. His boss. That woman..He grumbled while picking, instantly removing the speaker from his ears at the loud yell. That woman was at it again. She had demanded him to come in right then. Even though he did his work the day before he couldn't say no since he needed the job.
Being the kind of person who hides away all his emotions and able to wear a mask, he was able to hide away his growing eagerness to meet that male, taste those lips again, feel him.. Ichigo quickly shook his head to get rid of that thought. That was unexpected. Reaching he got so into work he had forgotten everything until he had nothing to do but let his mind wander.
Not only his mind but his body too. He wandered about the streets since it was still early. He reached the park and decided to have a walk on his own until he saw that familiar face. "Grimmjow?" He whispered to himself before he unknowingly dashed to him. He stood there by the bench blocking the sunlight that apparently was hitting his face. Once again he felt that tingle but now he didn't seem bothered. He smiled to himself in seeing how peaceful the Oh-So-Dangerous guy looked.
When Grimmjow opened his eyes Ichigo wasn't what he expected to see. "What are you doing here?" Was the first thing he said because of his surprise and sat himself up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
"What are YOU doing here?" He had wiped away his own smile to his scowl. He wasn't going to show his soft side. "Hueco Mundo was it?" He sat down next to him. He eyed him for awhile before placing his palm over his hand then over his neck. "You're cold, idiot. Slept the entire night here?" He did look a bit annoyed by his childish act.
"I didn't feel like going back! Remember what I told you about it? It's all hollows fighting." He replied and felt the hand on his neck like electricity hitting him.
"I'm fine you don't have to worry. Oh right you won't" he said bitterly than he intended. "I'm leaving now anyway."
His words made him quickly move his hand away. It surprisingly hurt him which was pretty evident on his face. He shook it off. "Back to hollow fighting?" With an obvious fake smile he stood up and stepped away. " Then, good luck. Sorry you had to see my face again~" Ichigo did point out what Grimmjow was trying to do. He figured he didn't want to see him again. Without any other word he turned around with his hands in his pocket and began to approach the exit.
Before Ichigo could step far Grimmjow grabbed him by his elbow and pulled him but it was too hard that Ichigo bumped into him and sent them falling making Grimmjow take the fall again
"How do we keep getting back here?" Grimmjow asked with a light chuckle after he recovered from the fall finding Ichigo on top of him again.
The sudden pull did surprise him. He wasn't expecting that at all and had fallen on top of him. This time, unlike before Ichigo stayed silent, wondering if it would be the same like before.
He got a deep look into Ichigo's eyes but stopped himself from doing the same mistake and helped the ginger up before standing himself. "Look, I was a little harsh and I didn't mean to. Of course I want to see your face again what do you think brought me here in the first place?"
He only shook his head with a face of disappointment that soon changed to a confused one. He shrugged to his question. "Nah, it's alright. Why would you wanna see me that too again?" He questioned eagerly hoping Grimmjow would speak out what's really in his mind, 'cause Ichigo was in no luck arranging his thoughts.
Grimmjow held his mouth before said his true reason. "What if I tell you and you go on doubting me again?" The blue head said with hurt evident on his face.
This time Ichigo shook his head with a small smile. "I need answers to my own questions. I won't push you away.."
"I came coz I missed you alright! Ever since our fight it's like you left an imprint on me and I couldn't stop thinking about you. And after waiting all this time I thought fuck it and came over here just to see you." He finished the last words looking away from the gingers eyes. He wasn't one to show emotions, and on the rare occasions that he did he wasn't that good dealing with them.
Ichigo was awestruck to his words. A faint line of blush appeared on his cheeks. He stayed silent for awhile processing each of his words, calming himself down first. "And now you're running away from me?" He asked with a hint of tease. He wasn't doubting him or anything, but so far that's how it worked between them, teasing the hell out of each other.
"I couldn't handle all the doubting and rejection! I have fought hundreds of battles and the pain I felt yesterday was worse than any other wound. Then when I left you didn't even care or tried to stop me so I thought that obviously you didn't want me around."
He said keeping his eyes anywhere but on Ichigo's but the pain was evident in them.
A pair of arms had wrapped around the blue head before the ginger pressed his body on him only a little. "I'm sorry about last night." He spoke in almost a whisper. Guilt was pretty obvious in his voice but he did his best to lower his voice to a soft one. "I didn't know how to react to everything that had been happening.." He pulled away, creating a small distance between them as he shot his dazzling smile at him, "Let's try one more time?"
The hug took Grimmjow by surprise! Even though it didn't last long but he felt himself turn into a puddle of mush! "Yeah" was all he could reply after the ginger pulled away. "What do you have in mind?"
Since he had ruined last night he would make up for it. "I'll guide you around the human world~" He chuckled before turning around, taking steps ahead. He glanced over his shoulder to him with a smile, "Aren't you coming?"
"You know it" he said with his famous grin and walked Next to the Shinigami. He didn't know what to expect but anything would be better than this thing ending before it even started.
But as luck would have it the tour would have to be cut short. After walking a few steps with the ginger, Grimmjow stood in place turning his head as if trying to feel something. He then turned to Ichigo "I have to go back!" He stated out of nowhere.
Ichigo had a confused expression hearing him "What do you mean? You just said that you're staying" He was hurt even though he hid it well, thinking Grimmjow pranked him by agreeing to try again the going back on his words.
"I know. I want to stay but something is wrong in Hueco Mondo I have to go back" He stepped closer to Ichigo and lifted his chin with one finger so their eyes would meet "I will be back I promise" He smiled warmly at him, giving a lingering look to his lips before letting go of his chin. He turned and opened a garganta that he instantly hopped into leaving a dazzled and confused ginger behind. He left too quick that Ichigo whispered a weak "Ok…" to where he was standing.
