the orange haired youth smiled brilliantly as his honey brown eye's watched the cloud free sky while he walked to school Thursday morning. the weather was unbelievably perfect that day since it had been raining nonstop for the past four days. he closed his eyes and hum to the feel of warm rays from the sun. when he opened them again he caught sight of something, or someone. the teen turned his head to the side to catch a certain male classmate setting on a nearby bench reading a book. with some more piled up next to him. the said classmate had caught sight of ichigo as well but immediately buried his face on the book he was reading. smacking his face clumsily with it and elbowing his books on the side making them fall off the bench. ichigo sigh at the sight. the other male was never a sociable person. and was always such a clots.

as Grimmjow hurriedly tried to gather his books on the ground when he notice a pair of hands grab the books and held them towards him. he glance up to see a stunning face greet him. smiling pleasantly at him. " here ya go Grimm..." the orange haired teen continued to smile as the other one tried to get on his feet. brushing off a couple of dirt on his slacks. when he finally stood up ichigo was staring up at him now. the other youth had strikingly beautiful blue hair and stood about six feet and five inches, with a well built body to match the height. ichigo stared into the other's glasses, behind them he had brilliantly blue eyes that went well with his hair. ichigo leaned closer to the blue haired teen, studying him. unknowing that his actions were making the taller teen very uncomfortable. " uhh...t-thanks..."Grimmjow stuttered. as he grabbed his books from ichigo's hands. ichigo shook his head and backed himself up a little giving the other his space. he had always thought Grimmjow was a bit cute no matter how much of a nerd the blue haired male was. you'd think with all his physical qualities he'd be a hit with the ladies or be the most popular guy in school. but by the way he carried himself around the campus and wore all his clothes you'd bet to differ. Grimmjow had awful taste in fashion wearing jumpsuits and striped shirts and sweaters. everything about him screamed loser. and he always had his nerdy square glasses on. which covered his wonderful blue eyes. not to mention his inhaler that he couldn't live without. girls just found him pathetic and guys like to make fun of him. it was weird cause he had a senior sister that was one of the hottest girls in campus. not to mention Grimmjow's father was a well known famous boxer who traveled the world along with his mom. ichigo sigh well you cant choose family and family cant choose you. ichigo turned and waved the other goodbye when a large hand suddenly stopped him. "w-wait" Ichigo turned and stared at the hand before focus his attention back to Grimmjow. "yes?"

"yo-you...know...m-my name?" Grimmjow blush.

ichigo's eyes widen as he stared at his classmate. "wha... of course i do.. we've been classmates for two years now" ichigo tried to smile. Grimmjow just stood there as he stared at the other teen. a faint blush on his face. "right...s-sorry...it's just that nobody's ever called me by my name before..."Grimmjow blushed wider. "what?" ichigo questioned as he stepped closer to him. "its either they call me blue h-haired geek or other funny names." Grimmjow scratch the back of his head. "what about your friends?" ichigo asked with a frown, his brows furrowed. Grimmjow turned his head to the side as he put a finger to his glasses steadying them.

"i...i dont have any...e-except for Nell...but she's my sister so..."Grimmjow trailed off as he began to turn "n-never mi-mine!" "wait!" ichigo grabbed his hand which made the taller teen snap his head back to the him. "if you want? I'll be your friend?" ichigo smiled, his honey brown eyes warm. Grimmjow stared at him. "..u-us?...friends?? y-you mean it?" Grimmjow stuttered. the smaller teen nodded "yeah! i dont mind being your friend...do you?" ichigo stepped closer making Grimmjow's heart beat faster. "NO!" ichigo frown, "what?" ''i mean NO I DONT MIND!!! Y-YES!!! i w-want to be friends with you" Grimmjow was practically banging his chest at the thought that he'd finally have a friend at school! and a cute one!"cool! wanna walk to school together then?" ichigo began to turn. Grimmjow grin which startled Ichigo a bit, wow! those are some really shiny braces! Ichigo thought as they both headed on to school, walking side by side as friends do. Grimmjow glance at ichigo tripping on his own feet when ichigo glanced right back at him.

"Ichigo!...and err...Grimmkow right?" a red haired classmate greeted as ichigo walked into the hallway. his friends had been waiting for him on the school hallway near their lockers. "it's Grimmjow" the tall male said as he fixed his glasses. "he's gonna be hanging with us now." ichigo's smile never fading. the rest just stared at the two before a short raven haired girl stepped closer and offered her hand "hey Grimm! nice to finally hang out with you!" she smiled which made Grimmjow blush shaking her hand as he hunch. "Grimmjow you know already Renji, Orihime,Ishida,Hitsugaya and Rukia right?" ichigo pointed at each of his friends. Grimmjow nodded. after introductions they walked as a group to their lockers Grimmjow walking behind them. after just a few minutes Grimmjow had unbelievably trip on his own feet again leading him to bump a few students knocking his books off along with them. "WATCH IT YOU BIG CLOTS!!!" the girl screamed as she fell on the floor. "s-sorry" Grimmjow tried to help her up but she slapped the hand away and shoved him off. "he is such a loser! can't believe he almost touched you." her friend said as she helped the other up. "HEY! HE SAID HE WAS SORRY! NO NEED TO BE A BITCH ABOUT IT!" ichigo spat as he glared at the two girls who were stun to hear him defend the blue haired geek. "oh my god ichi, your hanging out with a loser now? thats a total shame" the friend of the girl Grimm had bump laugh as the other one glared back at ichigo. "so what if im friends with him. i dont see anything wrong with that..." ichigo trailed off as he eyed the glaring girl. "but that top with those shoe's...uhh...now that's just wrong" Orihime and Rukia giggled as the girl went a brilliant shade of red, her friend laughing a bit as well making her snap her head to her, barking loudly

"WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT STUPID?!"

"HEY! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU CALLING STUPID? STUPID!!"

before they knew it the two girls were shouting at eachother before breaking into a fight leading them to wrestle on the floor. Ichigo shook his head and grabbed Grimmjows hand, leading them to their classroom as the rest followed. "you don't ever have to take shit like that Grimmjow..your so much better than those losers." ichigo said as he gave Grimmjow a side glance. Grimmjow felt his face heat up at how ichigo was holding him. "wanna set next to me?" ichigo offered as he sat down his chair. Grimmjow grabbing the one next to him. not leaving his eyes on the orange haired teen.

after school had ended ichigo had invited the other to his house.

ichigo led them to his room, Grimmjow looked around. the room was just the right size for a teens room. but it was way smaller compared to his own. the room was very neat and clean with a few posters on the wall. all of a sudden Ichigo took off his shirt revealing his well tan body. Grimmjow's glasses fog up as he gasp frantically searching his inhaler, once found he placed it on his mouth and inhaled deep and long. ichigo turned around at the noise his slender body finally free from the clothes he had now thrown off the bed. "is something wrong Grimm?" ichigo frown as he stepped closer to the bigger teen. Grimmjow choked backing up a bit " no..no... everything's good...just that I've never seen another body aside from my sister and father before...well...i mean this c-c-c..." Grimmjow inhaled in his inhaler again before finishing "this close before" ichigo gave Grimmjow a small smile before placing his hand on the back of Grimmjows head. Grimmjow could feel his face heat up at the smaller males action. before he knew it ichigo pressed their heads together. the orange haired teen staring directly at him. "don't worry Grimm... I'll show you everything friendship has to offer... you'll never be alone again" Grimmjow swore his heart had stop beating. a sudden want in him rised up as he stared into warm honey brown eyes. a few seconds and ichigo pulled away in favor of searching for a new shirt. Grimmjow inwardly frown at the sudden absence of the others hand. Ichigo was so beautiful, and so naive. i mean why the fuck is he walking around his room half naked with a person he had just become Friends with?! but the trust...Grimmjow gulped. ichigo was giving him so much. so so much with out even thinking it over. he place a hand on his chest. no one had ever invited him to their house before. no one had stood up for him when he was being made fun of aside from his dad and sister...and no one was fucking taking their FUCKING PANTS OFF WHILE HE WAS FUCKING WATCHING!!! Grimmjow's whole face went bright red as ichigo was only wearing his pink coloured underwear and a white tee now. Ichigo's eyes widen when he turned to see a past out Grimmjow, face covered in blood. "GRIMMJOW!! SHIT!!!" ichigo jumped on top of the blooded face teen. taking off his glasses ichigo quickly wiped his face with some tissue. blue eyes blinked up at him. Ichigo blushed as he stared at the other's face. with out the glasses. he could see clearly Grimmjows perfectly blue eyes. he studied the teens face once more, the guy was absolutely gorgeous. Ichigo thought. then he opened his mouth and sparkling metal braces were shining in them...err...well..maybe he could close his mouth more.

Grimmjow's eyes snapped open as he realized the position they were in. ichigo was leaning on top of him wearing only a white tee and his pink underwear. holy Shit! he didnt know friendship would be this awkward. the other had place his hands on Grimmjow's face as he ask him if everything was alright with him. Grimmjow inwardly smirked as he thought that this type of awkward friendship might be what he had been waiting for.

TWO MONTHS LATER...

ichigo laughed as Rukia finished kissing a blushing renji giving him a light pat on his cheek as she went back into her chair. they were playing truth or dare and Orihime had dared rukia to kiss the red head. knowing full well how renji felt about rukia. "you owe me big time" the busty girl whispered between giggles. it was lunch time and they all gathered into a table at the cafeteria, Ichigo setting next to Grimmjow his hand lightly brushing the others as they played and ate their lunch. Grimmjow had grown accustomed to ichigo being touchy feely. and he admittedly liked it. inhaling his inhaler and steadying himself when ichigo leaned in on him taking off his glasses to wear them. making the others burst into laughter at the sight. "ohh...i guess your eyesight isnt so bad" ichigo tease as he placed them back on his face. "they were a gift" Grimmjow politely replied as he let his friend put them back. the two had grown very comfortable with each other. ichigo not minding how people made fun of him for hanging out with the school loser. Grimmjow really appreciated this and took advantage of ichigo's kindness. after successfully placing the glasses on Grimmjow's face ichigo held his head "your braces should be out next week right?" ichigo said to a blushing Grimmjow. "aahh...y-yeah"

"ichigo! its your turn" rukia giggled as Orihime finished giving Ishida a back massage.

"okay... truth for me then" ichigo smiled as he held Grimmjow's hand. rukia beam as she took a sip of her juice. "okay! who would you ever take to the dance next month?" rukia giggled " and would you make out with them?" Renji chipped in. Grimmjow froze as he looked down on his friend. ichigo was scanning the room searching while tapping his hand. Grimmjow also felt like tapping his hand. he had wanted to go with ichigo to the school dance next month. he was already planning on asking him next week after his braces were out. "Byakuya is pretty hot" ichigo mused which made Grimmjow stiffen on his side. "you bastard!!! not my older brother!!!" Rukia threw her empty juice box at him. " just missing with ya" Ichigo laughed as he felt Grimmjow ease up on his side. he had thought of asking Grimmjow since he knew it would be Grimmjow's first time going to a dance, but a blonde friend of his named Shinji had asked him to take his cousin who had just transfered last week, to the dance. "she doesnt know anybody yet here...and even threaten not to go to the dance! and no way im letting my cousin sulk all alone in our house, so please ichigo? would you be a dear?" Shinji pleaded. ichigo sigh and smiled at his friend "sure Shinji...no problem" ichigo was the kind of person who hated knowing someone was unhappy. i guess i can always just bring Grimm along.

just as he was about to say something. "hey Ichigo you got a date for the dance next month? a handsome fox face student with silver hair leaned into him, putting his elbow on ichigo's shoulder. Grimmjow glared through his glasses at the guy. "sorry Gin...but im going with..." before Ichigo could finish his sentence the school bell rang making everyone stand up on their tables and clear out their trays. Grimmjow watch as ichigo leaned into Gin saying something through the loud noise.

with the game forgotten along with the question. the day went by and Grimmjow had invited ichigo over to his house. the orange haired teen had only been in the other's house two times. it being on the upper side of town along with the other rich and well known houses. Grimmjow's house was a huge mansion. along with a big huge back yard with two large pools on the center. "Grimm baby can i borrow six hundred bucks? me and my friends are going partying tonight" Nell asked as she hugged her younger brother. Didn't mom and dad give you two thousand dollars last week? Grimmjow grown. "yeah...but im all out now...please baby bro" she had began kissing him on the cheek now. which ichigo found sweet and pleasant. Grimmjow sigh and grabbed his wallet pulling out a thousand bucks and giving it to his sister. the older sibling beamed and kiss him a couple more times before skipping out of his room. "a thousand bucks?" ichigo questioned with furrowed brows. "dont worry... I've been saving my allowance for years now. im not a big spender like her. plus six hundred is never enough for her" Grimmjow smirked showing off his shiny braces. ichigo suppressed a light laugh at the adorable sight. "so...ahh...wanna sleep over here tonight? it's friday night and there's no school tomorrow" ichigo nodded while he texted his dad that he'd be staying over at Grimm's. he liked it that Grimmjow didn't stutter anymore...well..only when they were alone. this made him feel somewhat proud of himself. he had manage to get the teen comfortable with him.

the two played video games on Grimmjow's wide flat screen tv in his bedroom and ate pizza and some chicken wings while talking about school and family's.

" Oh hawaiian is the best" ichigo munch as Grimmjow swallowed his chicken wings. "i dont like Hawaiian that much...pineapple was never meant to be with pizza" Grimmjow said while taking a bite of his chicken again. the two had ordered two types of pizza since ichigo wanted Hawaiian and Grimmjow rather have the meat lovers pizza. " your like a carnivore with all the meat you eat all the time." ichigo commented as he took another bite of his slice, but knew Grimmjow needed a lot of meat since he was sparring all the time with his trainers. the other students didnt know it but Grimmjow was a pretty good fighter. he had been taught at a young age boxing and some martial arts along with capoera and other fighting methods. Grimmjow had even jokingly ask him if he wanted to wrestle. ichigo laughed it off and Grimmjow laughed awkwardly while blushing.

ichigo bit his lip at how sexy Grimmjow could be. he had such a well built body from all his training. he had just been hiding it underneath all his dorky and baggy clothes. Grimmjow said that when he was still a small kid he was very weak and frail. his father had gotten so upset one day when Grimmjow was sent to the hospital all bruised up and face swollen. after he had recovered his father entered him in training programs and even trained him to do boxing himself. telling Grimmjow that he could never let other people hurt him like that again. Grimmjow wasn't like his father though, no matter how much his father had trained him to be a fighter he would rather not use violence as he saw it as being barbaric and primitive. and he never wanted to enter the ring with his father, instead wanting to be arocket scientist or even a chemist. those were the two things Grimmjow dreamed about. although once he had developed a well built body, people never physically bullied him anymore yet the mocking and name callings never faded. ichigo inhaled at how much of a beast Grimmjow could look like yet be so gentle. Grimmjow may be a nerd but he was a hot nerd. he gulp as he couldn't believe nobody saw that.

Grimmjow was bright red as he notice ichigo had been staring at him for the past few minutes. "ichi--Off!!"

ichigo had tackled him to the floor. his blush becoming much brighter as the slender male hovered on top of him. blue eyes trailed down ichigo's beautiful body up to his warm handsome face.

wait a minute is that pizza hanging from his mouth? ichigo grin as he saw Grimmjow had left his mouth wide open and suddenly push the small slice of Hawaiian pizza into his gaping mouth. their lips brushing ever so lightly. Grimmjow unconsciously held ichigo's waist as he notice the orange haired teen was about to get off of him. ichigo stared into Grimmjows deep blue eyes and before he knew it the larger male below him was chocking. "oh my gosh!!! Grimmjow!!! im sorry!!! im sorry!!!" ichigo shouted as he tried to get Grimmjow off the floor and slapped his back. with a painful gulp Grimmjow threw his glasses away and opened a can of soda gulping it down as ichigo patted his back apologizing for his crazy antic. after Grimmjow had felt better he turn to a flustered ichigo and awkwardly grin saying it wasn't his fault.

after they had settled back down on Grimmjow's bean bags. the blue haired student cleared his throat nervously making ichigo turn his attention to him. "uhh...ichi..i..uhh.. wanted to ask you something.." ichigo blinked and and stared at him. "yeah? what about?" "umm...about the dance next month i ...i w-was thinking...maybe... you and i could...you..you know go together" Ichigo stared at him more not blinking. "ahhh!!! i mean if you wanted to..but you know...if..if you dont want t-" "im going with Shinji's cousin..." Ichigo said gently. "ah!...r-right!!!" Grimmjow felt his heart sank and his hopes lost. a twisted feeling in his chest as he tried to remain calm at his friend's rejection. "but only because he asked me to cause she's new at school...and you know i dont like anyone being left out..." "ahh..haha yeah..yeah i get it ichi" Grimmjow tried to hide his embarrassment as he tried to stand up. ichigo grabbed his hand and made him look down at him. "but if you had ask me first i would of said yes! since i was planning on asking you too." blue eyes widen at his friends words.

"r-really?"

"yes!"

ichigo smiled as he gently pulled Grimmjow back down. Grimmjow's heart beating rapidly as the other places his hands on Grimmjow's face. "your my bestfriend and i wouldn't wanna go to the dance with anyone else but you"

BESTFRIEND~~FRIEND~~FRIEND

the words echoed in Grimmjow's mind as ichigo smiled innocently at him. all the sudden emotions rushed through the larger teens face and body and with out a sudden thought he grabbed ichigo's slim frame and crashed it into his. with an umph..Grimmjow had trapped ichigo into a tight embrace. nuzzling his nose on the orange locks that smelled like strawberries. loving the contact of warm soft skin against his. Ichigo moved his head and looked up to stare at deep blue eyes filled with emotions. "Grimmjow?"

"im just happy you wanted to go to the dance with me ichi..." Grimmjow breath into his ear which made the smaller teen shiver. Grimmjow was being so... different...he had never seen this side of Grimm before. " were bestfriends right?" Grimmjow whispered. and Ichigo nodded. "that means im special to you..." ichigo nodded again. " and we get to do stuff that only best friends can do right?" ichigo blinked and stared at Grimmjow "yeah sure" Grimmjow smirked. if they were going to be bestfriends then he'd better well make the most of it. Ichigo was going to be his. and his alone. just you wait.
