This story is kinda an idea I've been playing with. It's based on something that happened to me and I thought it'd be fun to bring it to life by writing an ichi/grimm :-) Possibly some characters acting out of character. Umm swearing, fo sho some sexy grimmy ichi time later on. One shot? I'm thinking not, but let me know.
I do not own Bleach ( I wish)
Let me know what you think!
I can't tell you exactly when it happened. I just knew. The first time I saw him. The first time we kissed. I was without a doubt head over heals in love with Grimmjow Jeagerjaques. It all started that night at some place I didn't want to be, but if I hadn't come I wouldn't be able to say today that I was in love for the first time and that is something I could never forget.
The prom was something every girl in school was obsessing over. Talking about what they were going to wear, who they were going with. I didn't care either way. I thought it was a stupid event that people made seem so much important than it really was. That didn't seem to matter to my best friend, Rukia though, because she was currently begging me to be her date.
"Come on Ichi, you have to go and it only makes sense to go with me," She said, a grin plastered on her face.
"No way, find someone else," I said stubbornly, starting to back away, but she was too quick. She grabbed my hand and pulled me back, looking at me with those eyes. You know the look. I felt my defenses weaken. Fuck girls are a pain.
"Hal convinced her guy friend to go with her, so it's not like you'll be stuck with a bunch of girls. We can do our girly talk and you can do your manly talk with him. I don't know him very well, but you should get along. Please Ichigo?" Her puppy dogface never faltered. Fuck.
I sighed, which made her smile. She knew me to well. Damn her and her evil ways.
"If I say I'll go, will you spare me the girly details?" She was fully grinning by now her blue eyes sparkled.
"Ok! Don't worry about it, I'll take care of everything."
What have I gotten myself into?
Two weeks later I'm at Rukia's, standing in the living room in my rented tux and pink tie. A giggling Orihime let me, quickly telling me, "10 more minutes."
Orihime was going with Ishida. He was a lucky man Orihime was beautiful. She was a red head with some…nice assets. Most every guy in school was lusting for her, but she was happily with Ishida.
Rukia's best friend Halibel was almost as interesting. She had blonde hair and bright green eyes, with similar…assets. She was a pretty good friend of mine as well. It was unavoidable; Rukia dragged me along whenever she had the chance and 90% of the time she was with Halibel. They were 'sister's from another mister' or something. She was single, well kind of. She 'played the field'. Always looking for better options.
I've never fully understood girls. Not that I have to, not really. I've known for a long time that I was gay, but that doesn't mean I have to tell the world. I've tried dating a few guys, but nothings worked out yet. I'm still young though I got plenty of time. I wanted to focus on school anyways. We were seniors, less than a semester than we graduate. I swear everyone was already talking about summer. I was at least trying to focus on everything still. I've always been the good student though.
"Kurosaki-kun," Again with the giggling. I swear that girl was crazy.
Orihime stepped out of the bedroom in the black dress I had already seen, followed by a glowing Rukia. She wore a long pink dress. It was strapless and the bottom fluffed out. Her hair was tied up in an up do.
"You look beautiful Rukia," I said. She blushed.
"You too Ichigo," She said, smiling widely. She looked expectantly at the corsage in my hands. I laughed and put it on her wrist. It was the same shade of pink as her dress, by her request of course.
"Thank you, I know you didn't want to come, but I really appreciate this. You'll have fun I promise."
"You're my best friend, I had to do it."
"Okay guys Ishida and the others are waiting for us, lets head out," Orihime said, Rukia tore her eyes away and smiled at her. We ended up driving my car to the restaurant. We were meeting Halibel and her date and Ishida at Applebee's for an early dinner. The girls were busy gossiping on the way; I just shook my head and let my mind wonder.
When we arrived Orihime ran straight to Ishida. They were always so lovely dovey; it was cute, but kind of sickening. Halibel stood next to a man with the bluest hair I've ever seen and his eyes were just as blue. I stared for a moment, before quickly looking away.
"Rukia you're stunning! And Ichigo you really clean up," Halibel said, with a playful grin. I couldn't help but smile back.
"So do you, never thought I'd see you in a dress."
Well it wasn't much of a dress anyways. It came to right above her knees and she was in danger of popping out at any second. Whatever made her happy I guess.
"Oh I almost forgot! Ichigo, this is my friend Grimmjow. He goes to the private school on the other side of town," She offered, giving me the chance to look at him. He was wearing a black suite with a bright green tie, to match her dress. My eyes finally met his and he smiled.
"So you're the famous Ichigo, nice to finally meet you," He said, making my heart pound uncontrollably. Oh my god everything about him screamed sexy. I just might have a heart attack by the end of the night.
"You too," I managed to say, praying that I was acting natural.
"They have a table ready for us, we can talk inside," Ishida finally spoke. Everyone heading inside with their respectful partners. Rukia grabbed my hand and pulled me in. I couldn't help but stare as Halibel put her arm around Grimmjow, laughing at something he said.
I'm so fucked. I have a crush on someone I barely know. He's probably straight. Maybe him and Halibel have something between them. If that's true he's out of bounds. I should vanish him from my mind, think of something else…
Being the last people to arrive at the table, Rukia sat next to Orihime, talking animatedly, leaving only one free stop by Grimmjow. So much for not thinking about him. I didn't have a choice, but to sit there. Everyone seems to have their own conversation, I just watched and noticed Grimmjow doing the same.
"Hey Grimmjow, did Halibel force you to do this too?" I asked, trying to make small talk. It kept my mind from wondering to bad thoughts involving him.
"Nah, thought it could be fun. Plus she's always saying I should spend more time with her friends," He said, grinning. I mentally slapped myself so I wouldn't blush like an idiot. He was so…beautiful. Especially when he smiled.
"Nice, I'm not much for dances."
"Oh, well what do you like to do?" He asked, surprising me. He wanted to know me? I felt myself smiling.
"I, well I like to write actually, it's kind of stupid," I said, making myself sound even stupider.
"No it's not stupid. I'm an artist. I mostly draw cartoons. What do you write?" His eyes locked with mine, as if he was truly interested.
"Fiction. I don't know fantasy stuff, with magic and stuff."
"Very cool."
I don't know how much time passed, but the words came that easier after that. I couldn't get over the fact that this sexy man was talking to me. Rukia might call it male bonding.
After dinner we headed over to the grand match, which was extremely boring, than we went to the dance. The school had rented some fancy hall, they even had a DJ. Who knew the school had the money for that. Rukia demanded that I dance with her, which I happily obliged. The first song was a slow song of course. She wrapped her arms around me and rested her head on my shoulder.
"I told you you'd get along with Grimmjow," She said, hiding her smile. I just shook my head.
"What I saw you guys at the restaurant. You guys totally were bonding, it was adorable."
She is so predicable. I knew she'd say that.
"Um thanks, I think."
She lifted her head and quickly kissed me on the check, before returning to her original position. I couldn't help but smile. She was so cute sometimes.
After a while of dancing we took a seat on the side, quickly finding the rest of the group. Apparently they were discussing an alternative to this. I wasn't complaining. My heart sped up again when Grimmjow caught my eye. Oh god he was smiling again. I quickly took a seat next to him.
"Are you already all danced out?" I asked, smiling.
"Nah she only made me dance with her once. What about you? Rukia is relentless."
"I'm up for another right now. It's to loud in here anyways."
"Ok guys it's decided, the park it is. Ichi I'm gonna ride with Hal, could you give Grimmjow a ride?" Rukia said, almost smiling. Was she reading my mind again? Fuck if this is a set up…it's working.
"Yeah sure. Come on," I said to him. We walked out to my crappy car and made the short trip over to the park. It was only like a mile away, but I took the long way, prolonging this alone time. Not that I'd ever admit it out loud.
When we finally did arrive I got out and started to head to the park, but Grimmjow stopped me. I turned around surprised. He smiled.
"Come here, I don't want to go over there yet. I like talking to you," He said, causing me to blush. Thank god it was dark. We sat down on the curve, our knees brushed. Oh god I can feel another heart attack coming.
"Can I make a confession?" He asked quietly. I could only nod. He leaned forward, his lips brushed my ear. "I think you're cute," He practically purred.
"Wh…what?" I stuttered out.
"I said," He said pulling away, his hand brushing my cheek. My hand subconsciously leaned into his touch. " I think you're cute." My eyes widened as his face neared mine, his eyes holding mine. I could get lost in those eyes. God and those lips looked so soft…
Before I knew what was happening softness brushed my lips. My eyes fluttered shut as hands tangled up in my hair, deepening the kiss. All to soon it was gone. I could only stare at him wide eyed as he watched me amused.
"I…" I tried to make a sentence, but my mind wouldn't function. He laughed softly.
"I know," He said, standing up suddenly. He offered me his hand, which I gladly took.
"Come on they'll start to wonder where we are."
But I don't care. I'm on cloud nine right now. This is where I want to be. But to soon we were walking over to the park. I found Rukia on the swing, swaying back and forth, staring at the stars. To lost in thought she didn't even notice me, so I snuck up behind her and whispered into her ear, "Boo!" She jumped out of her skin, quickly turning around. She smacked me playfully.
"You must think you're funny Ichi. Where have you been anyways?" She asked. I quickly wracked my brain for an excuse.
"Oh Grimmjow was thirsty. We stopped at the gas station," I said, quickly formatting a believable reason. She looked relieved.
My eyes scanned the area. Orihime and Ishida were making out on the jungle gym, while Grimmjow was pushing Halibel on the tire swing. She was laughing so hard and he looked happy. I felt a faint stab of jealousy, but quickly turned my attention back to Rukia.
"So was coming here your idea?" I asked, already knowing the answer. She smiled.
"Of course, you know I love the park. Plus it's such a beautiful night. It's the perfect ending to a perfect day." Her eyes were penetrating me. God you'd have to be blind to not see it. She harbored some more than friends feelings for me, but I couldn't tell her she wasn't my type. She doesn't have a penis. The last thing I need to do is break her heart.
So all I did was smile and agree. My eyes looked up and caught electrifying blue ones watching me. Okay I'll admit it; I had it bad.
Orihime and Ishida made their escape to his car after about an hour, probably to go somewhere more private and well you know. After that Halibel claimed Rukia, telling me they needed their 'girl time' and that it'd be amazing if I could give Grimmjow a ride home. She didn't give me much of a choice, because they were gone not even a minute after. I stared dumb founded and Grimmjow gave me a lope-sided grin.
"Hey," He said. I dared look at him, instantly I was silly putty. "That girl is totally in love with you," He stated.
"Yeah, I know, but she's not my type. I mean, she's just my best friend."
"Oh and what is your type?" He said, his eyes laughing at me. He was suddenly right in front of me, in arms length.
You.
"We sh..should get you home, your parents are probably getting worried," I said, trying to get away, even though I just wanted to get closer.
"No, they don't care. Now tell me," He said, his hands were touching me again. I was on fire, at any moment I would turn to flames. "Do you really want me to go?"
I felt myself shaking my head.
"What's what I thought."
It was agonizingly slow. He leaned in close, his breathe hot on my skin. He lingered there, I stood paralyzed one of my hands braving, brushing his blue hair. It felt like silk in my hands. Oh god I needed him right now. My hands wrapped around his neck, pulling his lips to mine in a hot kiss. His lips ventured to my check, along my jawbone, to my neck, leaving soft kisses, leaving me breathless. He came back for one last kiss on my lips, moaning at the contact, giving him an opportunity to slip his tongue into my hot cavern. It was a slow dance, no one really fought to win, just living in the moment.
When the need for air was obvious we pulled away, resting my forehead against his. If he weren't holding me I would have fallen down along time ago. He was the first to speak.
"Ichi," He whispered. I could only mumble in response.
"Can I see you again?"
