Nightmare
Grimmjow awoke in a cold sweat. He glanced around at the white walls of his room and sighed relieved. It had only been a dream. The fear that he felt in the dream still stuck with him. It was a foreign feeling for him considering that he was rarely afraid of anything. He decided that the only way he would be able to get back to sleep is if he went somewhere he felt safe.
Grimmjow left the spirit world and headed to the world of the living. He tried to keep his spirit pressure low so that it could not be detected by any troublesome Shinigami. He traveled towards an area that he had started to feel more comfortable and familiar with as of late. He blocked the images that he had seen in his nightmare and told himself that it was just a dream, but he knew that he would only be able to get some peace of mind if he saw for himself.
He climbed quietly through Ichigo Kurosaki's bedroom window. He heaved a sigh of relief at the sight of him sleeping soundly in bed. Grimmjow finished entering into the bedroom and walked quietly over to Ichigo's sleeping form. Grimmjow watched Ichigo's chest rise and fall with each breath that he took. His face was so peaceful.
He lifted up the covers and crawled into the bed next to Ichigo. He would only be able to get a few hours of sleep before the Shinigami realized his presence there and came after him. He cuddled up close to Ichigo and rested his head on his chest and wrapped his arm around Ichigo's waist.
Ichigo opened his eyes drearily and looked at Grimmjow puzzled, "Hwuh? Grimmjow…what are you doing here?"
"Shut up Kurosaki," Grimmjow yawned tiredly, "I had a bad nightmare and I couldn't go back to sleep."
Ichigo nodded and pulled Grimmjow closer. He knew that in a few hours the hollow would be gone from his bed. Gone as if it was all a dream.
