Complicated
Summary: Grimmjow doesn't exactly get what he wants on Valentine's Day because Mai decided to set things straight with him, turning him down. They both said they were fine with it, but it's obvious they aren't. Grimmjow's trying to get over it and Mai doesn't know what to think. Would this end in a happily every after?
Disclaimer: I only own Mai Cifer and the plot type thingy. The rest of the Bleach characters and whatnot belongs to Tite Kubo.

Valentine's Day: The day where people confess their love for each other with gifts.
That is what Grimmjow Jaegerjaques was planning on doing. No, he was not asking anyone to marry him; he wasn't doing anything extreme like that. Nope, he was simply confessing. He didn't want to make it all sappy with roses and pink and red everywhere. He also didn't want to make it awkward, like say, if he laid there on a bed with rose petals all around him. It would be extremely awkward if she turned him down.
Grimmjow was planning to do it in a very simply, almost rude manner. He was planning to find her somewhere in the halls, ask her to be his valentine, and then toss her the rose.
Simply. Yet Grimmjow found himself just a bit nervous. He had gotten Szayel Aporro to make the rose blue, which made the scientist angry because he already had enough to do. Grimmjow didn't really care for the language of flowers. He never even heard of such things until Szayel Aporro had told him. The pink haired scientist had told him that in some cultures, blue roses meant something about love at first sight or attaining the impossible.
Coincidently, Grimmjow was doing just that. He was going to go and attain the impossible.
As he wandered around the halls, he kept glancing at the rose. Thanks to Szayel Aporro, it was blue. He had wanted it to be red, but the woman only found white roses when she was picking around in the garden. It wasn't surprising; Aizen seemed to be in love with the color white.
Grimmjow had suggested that he could just kill someone and use their blood to paint the rose red, but the woman said how it was mean and blood smelled yucky.
"If you keep gripping it like that, you might cero it by accidence," said Ulquiorra as he walked by. Grimmjow scowled at him.
"Shut up, I could've used your blood to paint it red!" Grimmjow called as Ulquiorra continued walking. When there was no response, he flipped him off. "Don't feel bad, Ulquiorra! Maybe Aizen will say yes next year!"
Grimmjow grinned; that made him feel much better.
Now only if he could find Mai before the day was over…
~G~
It was already three in the afternoon and Grimmjow still hadn't seen her anywhere. Mai was supposed to be at the special holiday lunch, but she wasn't there. If he didn't find her soon, he might not be able to 'confess'.
"Hey, Grimmjow!" A voice called down the hall from behind him. He turned around and saw exactly who he's been looking for. Once Mai caught up with him, she smiled. "Sorry I couldn't make it to the lunch."
Grimmjow looked down at Mai. She was still smiling up at him. "What's the blue rose for?"
Clearing his through, Grimmjow pulled off the most in character grin he could at the moment. "Mai, wanna be by Valentine?" He held out the rose and hoped that the stem wasn't crushed.
"Grimmjow…" Mai's smile dropped. She gently took the rose and carefully placed it in between her sleeve and the red ribbon she tied around it. "Thanks…but…"
Grimmjow was only half paying attention. The red ribbon was the first thing he gave her when they first met. It must be some sort of a good sign if she had kept it. Why else would she keep a red ribbon? Plus, she wears it everyday so it must mean SOMETHING good. Grimmjow was sure that she still remembered when they met. He sure did. The only bad thing about it was that Ulquiorra was there. If only he could kill that emo bastard and move up a rank ahead of Nnoitra.
"Grimmjow," a poke to the chest got his attention. "Did… you hear what I said…?" Mai looked up at him as he shook his head.
"Sorry, I, uh…must've got something in my ear," Grimmjow said lamely. "What were you saying?"
"Um…thanks, but no…" She toyed with her longer sleeve a bit, something she usually did when she was nervous or embarrassed. "I'm sorry… I just don't think we'd work out…"
Attaining the impossible: Impossible.
"I know that sounds really corny and all, but I don't think we'd work out," Mai forced a smile before walking on toward their room.
It was over. Grimmjow didn't know what to say. He didn't even know how he felt. At least she took the rose. It would've just reminded him how he failed if she didn't accept the rose.
"Che…" Grimmjow closed his eyes briefly before continuing to walk. He got it over with. Now…he'll just have to get on with his life… Love was complicated and he did not need anything complicated in his life. All of this doesn't have to be complicated. All he has to do is avoid Mai for a while.
I'm pretty sure she'll avoid me too. That'll just make it easier for me. Grimmjow tucked his hands into his pockets as he walked toward his room. All he had to do was avoid the sky blue haired girl for a while and thing'll be fine. Grimmjow stopped when a thought occurred to him.
They shared a bedroom together.
So much for uncomplicated…
