Ichigo thought that the emotional whirlpool he went through when Grimmjow left was punishment enough. He never thought that Grimmjow would have a punishment of his own in store for him. Part 2 of "Mirror Mirror".
I'm Sorry
They went home when the storm broke the next morning. Ichigo sat on the bed shirtless. He arched a brow when Grimmjow pulled a short rope from the closet, "Grimmjow, what're you doing?"
Then it clicked when Grimmjow frowned at him as he removed his belt from his jeans. Ichigo swallowed nervously. He remembered how it was the last time Grimmjow had punished him.
"What does it look like I'm doing, Kurosaki?" Grimmjow towered over the bed.
"I thought you said that you forgive me," Ichigo saw anger in Grimmjow's eyes.
"I did," Grimmjow climbed on the edge of the bed, "But you still need to be taught a lesson." He put the belt down and took hold of the rope.
Ichigo looked at him like a deer in headlights, "But..."
"You didn't think I would let you get away with it that easily, did you?" Grimmjow wondered.
Ichigo shuddered at the look in his boyfriend's eyes. "Grimmjow...I..." Ichigo said softly.
"You want to do this the easy way or the hard way?" Grimmjow asked him.
Ichigo whimpered but he obediently rolled over onto his hands and knees and let Grimmjow tie his arms behind his back. Grimmjow stripped him of his jeans and boxers.
"Grimmjow, please," Ichigo watched Grimmjow get the belt ready, "I'm sorry."
"Stop your whining," Grimmjow snapped at Ichigo, making him jump. "You're getting what you deserve," Grimmjow whispered lowly against Ichigo's ear.
Ichigo shivered. He looked over his shoulder at Grimmjow with a pleading look as tears rolled down his cheeks. Ichigo clamped his eyes shut when Grimmjow raised the belt.
Grimmjow saw that begging look on Ichigo's face and noticed the way he was shaking. He just stared at the submissive male for a minute. He sighed quietly. He put the belt down.
Ichigo flinched when Grimmjow laid his calloused hands on his ass cheeks. Grimmjow softly kissed Ichigo on his wet cheek as another tear fell. "Why the hell can't I stay mad at you?" Grimmjow asked rhetorically. Ichigo looked at him with tears still in his eyes. "You won't do it again. Will you?" Grimmjow asked him.
"No," Ichigo answered. He sniffled as he watched Grimmjow untie him. Ichigo rolled over onto his back. He held out his arms to Grimmjow.
Grimmjow laid flat against him and kissed him deeply. Making Ichigo scared of him was never his intention. He hugged Ichigo to him. Ichigo hugged him back. "I'm sorry," The words slipped out of Grimmjow's mouth before he could stop them.
"For what?" Ichigo wondered.
Grimmjow pulled back and looked Ichigo in the eye, "You're afraid of me..."
"...Only when you do stuff like that," Ichigo admitted. Grimmjow looked away. Ichigo made him look at him. "But I still love you," Ichigo told him.
"I love you too," Grimmjow leaned into Ichigo's touch as he caressed his cheek. Grimmjow laid against Ichigo with his head against Ichigo's chest. He purred deeply as his boyfriend massaged his scalp.
Ichigo pulled a blanket over them and they slowly fell asleep. To think that this whole thing happened because Ichigo had gotten jealous and angry about the guy at the coffee shop flirting with Grimmjow.
FIN
I made Ichigo more soft-hearted than I originally meant to, but whatever, it works XD.
