Chosen
- The submissive chose the dominant, that's just how it was in the Neko world. Unfortunately for Ichigo, the person he'd chosen happened to be the unachievable, Grimmjow Jaeggerjaques.

Warnings: Yaoi (boy x boy), swearing, OOCness, m-preg
A/N: Hi everyone, another new story uploaded. I've decided to do more than one at once, flipping between them helps with the writing so I'm just going with that for a while, see where it takes me.
Also, I haven't decided to whether or not to make this an m-preg or not, still deciding on that so there's a warning for you, it could happen.
So here's my latest addition, hope you enjoy!
Chapter 1:
Ichigo sighed, his eyes following the progress of his crush across the room, ignoring his friend sniggering in response. Although, he knew it was more than just a crush. Every fibre of his body yearned to be with him, to be touched by him, to be noticed. But when he turned, Ichigo lowered his eyes, focusing on Rukia and scowled at her when he saw her grin.
"What?"
"You and Grimmjow, why don't you just offer yourself to him and get it over with already?" Rukia asked and Ichigo blushed.
"So I can be rejected? No thanks." He rested his cheek on his palm and frowned. "Besides, you know what he's like."
Grimmjow was one of the most popular people in the school, which wasn't an exaggeration. He got offers every week, guaranteed. Though these couldn't be classed as real offers, it was impossible for half the school to fall for Grimmjow, they couldn't all be real. But without fail, every time he declined. No-one knew why but the rumour was he'd chosen his submissive. Not that he could in the sense of offering himself; it wasn't how it was done. But he could wait until they offered themselves to him and Ichigo was sure as hell certain it wasn't him.
Ichigo knew what he felt wasn't a passing attraction, he'd felt it when they first met, back in preschool he knew who Grimmjow was to him. For over ten years he'd been dealing with the feelings and he wasn't about to stop on the off chance Grimmjow said yes to him.
Ichigo looked at Rukia and smirked. "I don't see you offering yourself to Renji either." Their red headed friend wasn't in the vicinity thankfully; otherwise Rukia would've killed him.
It was common knowledge Ichigo was a submissive male, something that didn't happen often and he was thankful dominants couldn't offer themselves otherwise he'd have a problem. He knew it was only because of what he was, not who so he was insanely grateful and he had the added bonus that no females tried to offer themselves to him either, it was entirely his choice.
Their friend Renji had been friends with them since preschool and it had always been the three of them. Rumours obviously circulated the school, who Renji would choose, Rukia or Ichigo but Ichigo knew without a doubt, he was waiting for Rukia. Not that he minded since he wasn't attracted to Renji in the first place, it had always been Grimmjow.
Rukia blushed and scowled at him, kicking him harshly under the table. "Idiot be quiet! Someone could hear you!"
Ichigo rolled his eyes and rubbed the bruised spot. "So? Just do it already."
"Only when you do it to Grimmjow."
Ichigo snorted, this argument happened on a weekly basis now an always ended the same way. "No thanks."
"Then it's settled, neither of us will." The bell rang and she sighed, standing and looked at him expectantly. "Come on, let's go find Renji, he'll have finished practice now so we can go to his."
Ichigo groaned and banged his head on the table, ignoring the attention it attracted but felt his body heat up and he knew Grimmjow was looking. He stiffened at stood up, slinging his bag over his shoulder. He couldn't resist a quick glance and blushed when he saw Grimmjow was indeed looking and whirled around, marching from the room quickly and Rukia followed laughing.
"Damn you are so obvious."
Ichigo blushed in embarrassment. "Shut up!" He sighed and slowed down to a normal pace as they left the building and headed towards the field where Renji would be waiting for them. "I can't believe I forgot about this party, Renji hasn't stopped talking about it for weeks."
Rukia grinned and nudged his shoulder. "Idiot. Anyway, guess what I heard today?"
"What?"
"Rangiku's planning to offer herself to Grimmjow, tonight."
Ichigo stopped abruptly, his heart dropping into his stomach at the words. "Then we both know I don't stand a chance." He whispered, looking down dejectedly and his ears flatted against his head, his tail curling around one of his legs. "I can't compete with her."
Rangiku was Grimmjow's friend, just like him, Rukia and Renji. It made perfect sense that Grimmjow was waiting for her to offer herself. He sighed and clenched his hands, shaking his head.
"What does it matter anyway? I was never going to do it; this doesn't change the outcome of anything." He marched ahead towards the field and Rukia followed with shake of her head.
Unlike Ichigo, she wasn't so sure about this. She'd seen Grimmjow looking at Ichigo far too many time to be casual glances and his eyes always held some depth of an unreadable emotion. A part of her believed Grimmjow would genuinely say yes of Ichigo actually did offer himself. But factor in Rangiku and she wasn't so sure of the outcome, after all the two were friends so it made sense.
Because Rukia was so deep in thought and Ichigo hell bent on getting away from the school, he reached Renji a good five minutes before her. He grinned at the red head who noticed him and waved him over. "Hey Ichigo!"
Ichigo joined him and his track mates, ignoring the lecherous looks he received, being used to it by now. "Hey, you ready to go?"
"Sure thing." Grabbing his bag, they left his friends as started walking back to Rukia. "So did she agree to do it yet?" Ichigo was Renji's inside man on Rukia, he knew exactly how Rukia felt and was desperate for her to offer herself.
"No."
"Aww c'mon Ichigo, how hard is it to persuade her?"
Ichigo snorted and shook his head. "She won't do it unless I offer myself to Grimmjow. Which isn't happening."
"Why not?"
He hesitated and looked down. "Rangiku's apparently offering herself to him tonight. So I can't do anything about it now."
Renji shook his head at Ichigo's stupidity; he had no-one to blame but himself having wasting several good times to try. "Well tonight just forget about it. We're going to enjoy ourselves, ok?"
Ichigo nodded and grinned. "Definitely." They found Rukia and Ichigo didn't see how she just couldn't see how Renji felt when he grinned and pulled her into a hug.
"Hey Rukia, what took you so long?"
She blushed and pulled away from him to scowl fiercely. "Get off idiot, Ichigo practically ran for it and I didn't want to follow. I knew you two would come back eventually."
"See you know us so well."
Ichigo rolled his eyes and kneed Renji in the back. "C'mon idiot, we've still gotta set up the party remember? Let's get going." He started walking and Rukia and Renji soon caught up. He watched as the two walked ahead of him, their shoulders brushing occasionally and sighed mentally, at least it was guaranteed they would be together.
He knew his chance with Grimmjow was slim to none, but he'd always held onto that hope that Grimmjow wasn't mated and now that was about to go, he had nothing. Ichigo didn't know what he would do now the only person he'd ever loved was out of his reach completely. He knew he would never feel that way about anyone again, and it sucked, royally.
When they got to Renji's, Ichigo set about taking all the valuables and hiding them upstairs, safely out of reach of any drunken idiots, specifically Renji himself. One time he smashed his mother's priceless ornament, Ichigo had never seen him look so scared and even the mention of the incidence made his face pale.
Once Ichigo was sure he'd stored away everything valuable, he joined Rukia and Renji downstairs in time to see they'd finished setting up. With a groan he fell onto the sofa and waved his hand at Renji who snorted and threw him a beer.
"Thanks."
Renji sighed and made Ichigo move his legs so he could sit next to him and waited a moment as Rukia left before leaning towards him. "C'mon Ichigo, you gotta talk to her, I can't wait around like this, it's killing me."
"Idiot, be thankful you know your feelings are mutual." Ichigo opened his drink and took a deep mouthful. "All you have to do is wait, hold onto that. I'm trying my best but it just aint working."
"You, are so depressive."
"Heh, I wonder why that is?" Ichigo finished the beer and put the empty bottle on the table, shaking his head to focus again. "At least you're guaranteed Rukia."
Renji sighed at his downcast face; he knew how much it was killing Ichigo to be around Grimmjow. "You're an idiot, should've tried when you had the chance."
"Yeah, I know, I still wouldn't though." He grinned when Rukia walked back in and elbowed him in the ribs. "Why don't you try and persuade her? After all, you know how she feels."
Renji nodded and finished his own beer before getting up. "You're right, wish me luck."
"Good luck dumbass." Ichigo shook his head as he went over to Rukia, sighing when the doorbell rang and got up to let the first of the Renji's invites in. After a few hours, the party was in full swing and Ichigo was curled up on the sofa after finishing his umpteenth drink and smiled lopsidedly when Rukia sat down next to him. "Hey."
She rolled her eyes at him, knowing he was completely out of it and grinned. "Say, wanna make a bet?"
Ichigo frowned, leaning forward to hear her better. "What is it?"
"If Grimmjow says no to Rangiku, you've gotta offer yourself to him." Rukia watched as Ichigo processed the words slowly and grinned, nodding vigorously. "Deal, but if he says yes, you gotta offer yourself to Renji."
Rukia's face paled at the thought before she sighed and nodded. "Fine, we got a deal?"
Ichigo stuck out his hand and grinned as Rukia shook it. He knew Grimmjow would never say no to Rangiku and this was a win-win situation. One, he didn't have to offer himself, and two, Rukia finally did to Renji, what could go wrong?
"Deal."
