Yumichika sighed deeply. He was BORED. Class was taking too long and he wasn't quite in the mood for the whole crying about our old problems kind of thing. Yumichika Ayasegawa was sixteen years old and before he came to Seritei High he had been abused. End of story. There was seriously no reason to whine and cry and bitch about it for an hour a day like these other sad creatures. It's not that he didn't feel their pain or anything but he just hated listening to it everyday. Seritei High was a special small school that was created almost specifically for the children who came from Las Noches, and he happened to be one of them.
Six years ago a rich man by the name of Souske Aizen had begun to be investigated by the authorities on money laundering charges, little did anyone know that he was actually hindering a much bigger secret. Souske Aizen was a merciless pimp who chose young children as his victims, afterall they did pay more and they were easier to beat into submission. The evil man bought orphans and tattooed numbers on them for greater measure and told them that they would never forget who they belonged to, and none of them ever did. Two years later they were all liberated by the beautiful angels and brought here, their names were Ukitate Jyuushiro and Urahara Kisuke. Yumichika looked over at his best friends Ulqi and Szayel .
He had first met Ulqi when Ulqi was brought to Las Noches, then Szayel after he had been brought there with his brother. They had all been together longer than he could imagine and Yumichika wouldn't have it any other way. The two boys gave him an exaggerated version of their bored faces before turning back to Izuru who seemed to always be crying about something. Especially in 'share time' class. Yumichika then turned to look at his newer best friend Shinji who responded to his stuck out tounge with a roll of the eyes and a smirk. Yumichika met Shinji when Shinji had to be taken from his home because of a 'bad' situation that was not properly being dealt with by social services. That is how everyone came to the Seritei, Jyuushiro showed up with a new beat up kid every week and it pained them all having to hear more gruesome stories about someone's living hell. There were two types of groups in the Seritei, Yumichika was in the 'sexually abused group' and the other was just the regular kind. Shinji was there because his uncle used to creep into his room in the night. It was sad to hear Shinji cry during a rare moment of sharing. Everyone in the group had all shared at least once, except Yumichika and Ulqi of course because they thought everyone else was 'trash'or 'unbeautiful' and didn't deserve to even hear their words. But Jyuushiro didn't press them, everyday he would just ask if they wanted to speak with his smiling face and they both just said no easily. The only people who really understood why would be all those who had come from Las Noches. The only ones in the whole school who knew what rank they were and why they had all been treated better. Still to this day if Yumichika or Ulqi told someone from Las Noches to do something they would, it was out of respect. Or maybe it was the fact that they felt bad about the treatment they were given because of their rank, higher ranked children got the most clients and spent the most time with Aizen afterall.
Yumichika smiled as the class bell rang and he got up to stretch with a yawn. He didn't notice that half the class was still listening and comforting the crying Izuru or that his friends were all giving him these sly grins that may have warned him not to say anything at all. But he didn't so he grabbed his bag off the floor. "Argh. So glad that's over. Borrrrrring!" Yumichika said and started to walk out of the room, ignoring the fact that the class, except 3 amused boys, was staring daggers at him. "Ta, Uke-san!" he smiled as he walked past the long haired teacher knelt beside the blond, who seemed to cry harder as he left the room. Two chorus' of laughter and a grinning boy followed him before the door slammed shut and Yumichika felt an arm loop around his own, a kiss planted on his cheek.
"Oh my gah Yumi..you are so mean, did you see the look on Izuru's face!" Shinji laughed loudly. Yumichika just shrugged.
"Ah! So glad this is over!" Szayel imitated in exasperation before falling into a fit of giggles, even Ulqi had cracked a smile.
"Well I don't know what Jyuushiro wants of me! I really don't care about Izzy's teacher stickin it up his bum. There are far worse things in this world-"
"Mhm Yumi, like your big fuckin mouth" Shinji shined and rubbed his knuckles on Yumichika's cheek which was swiped away with ease. "Wow, seriously, he was in the middle of saying how he didn't know how to make friends..I think I serously might die." Yumichika grinned and continued on outside to find their other comrades for lunch. The four diva's made their way to the bench in the middle of the campus under the big trees and were relieved to see that their friends were already lounging there. He smiled as he saw his former 'mentor' and squeeled as he landed in his lap.
"Nnoi!" he said as he wrapped his arms around the outrageously tall man. Nnoitra rolled his eyes yet rested his hands on Yumichika's hips and gave him a kiss on the forehead. "I'm so glad to see you before you go! When's Shunsei takin you? I swear you should be gone already"
"Doc was late, aint goin' till later" Nnoitra grumbled and shifted so he could eat his sandwich, he had to be careful not to get any crumbs on the boy on his lap because he really wasn't in the mood for a big long talk right now about the ettiquite of eating.
Yumichika smiled because that meant he could spend some more time with his friend, protector, and longest known ally. He had met Nnoitra when the big man had first been taken to Las Noches and he had been assigned to watch over him. Nnoitra was his mentor because he taught him how to fight, but of course none of that was allowed in Las Noches so he did it in secret. He shared a room with Nnoitra and was nearly always with him except when they were in class. Nnoitra was one of the lucky ones in Las Noches, he was there because some of the perverted customers liked to be the uke and he was there to bring pain. Or fuck one of the other boy's, for private 'shows' as Aizen used to call it. As were Grimmjow, Ichigo, and Ylfordt who had been sitting with him before they had arrived. Grimmjow had taken care of Ulqi forever which is why they had become lovers almost immediately after leaving Las Noches. Ylfordt and Szayel had been requested all the time for private shows together so the brothers constant sleeping together was no new thing, not even for the teachers suprisingly who were just happy that they were happy after the hell they had gone through in that place. To everyone outside of their circle Yumichika and Nnoitra being around eachother was so strange, the tall one eyed beast with the small delicate peacock. It was practically senseless blasphemy.
"Nnoi!" Shinji's voice sang as he plopped beside them and pulled Yumichika to sit in his lap, legs still sprawled in Nnoitra's lap. "Your little Yumi-kun here is such a bitch yanno" Nnoitra's eye snapped to Yumichika who looked up at him in utter ignorance.
"What'cha do Yui?"
"Noooothing" Yumichika and Szayel answered with duel squeals of laughter. "Yumi's insensitivity is not bitchy actually, cunning really" Szayel offered as he wrapped his arms around Ylfordt who rolled his eyes and hugged back.
"Yumichika mearly pointed out his utter need to leave the classroom." Ulquiorra said matter-of-factly. "It just happened to be in the middle of Izuru crying about that freak again. Really its becoming a problem, I'm beginning to think he needs help" The three effeminent men laughed.
"Aint that what your all supposed to be doing? Crying and shit?" Grimmjow offered and looked at Ichigo for support. The orange haired bastard just smirked and quickly snapped his eyes away from Yumichika before Nnoitra saw his stare. Grimmjow growled at him and sent a message that looked a lot like 'you have a death wish don't you?'.
"I don't cry and 'shit' silly boys" Yumichika smiled with the flick of his hair.
"I told ya Yui, if I gotta punch Hisagi in the mouth one for sayin shit to ya I'm gonna kill ya. You're way too much trouble then its worth yanno" Nnoitra grumbled and went back to paying attention to his meal which was quickly snatched out of his hands and legs that were once resting on him came up to 'accidently' roughly graze his crotch. "ARGH" he growled as he grabbed his cock.
"Well then Nnoitra if you feel that way don't eat my food!" Yumichika seethed and strattled a grinning Shinji. He buried his head in the blonds neck and began to sob, only two other boys at the table recognized the fakeness in his every movement.
"Aw baby, don't cry. He didn't mean it" Shinji soothed the best he could, rubbing his hands over Yumichika's hair, trying his best not to collapse back onto the grass behind them into a fit of laughter. Nnoitra felt a twinge of guilt pull his heart which he ignored and slowly raised his hand in an attempt to pull the food back to himself. This was met by a smack to his hand and Ulquiorra snatching the three sandwiches away from him. He decided to ignore the looks of amusement that his manly friends were giving him and with a defeated sigh he lowered his head and wrapped his arms around Yumichika who promptly gripped onto Shinji. With a few harsh tugs he pulled Yumichika into his lap once again and held him.
"Get off" Yumichika said with a fake amount of struggle. Bravo Bravo, academy award goes to-! Szayel thought with an everlasting grin as he looked at the two dark haired men sit together, his glasses slipped to the end of his nose.
"Yui, don't be upset. You're the most important, beautiful, magnificent, most interesting beauty in the world. I want my sandwich" Nnoitra stated and reached for his sandwich once again when the flamboyant boy looked up at him with a 1000 wat smile.
"Aw, no need to be so touchy Nnoi. Its only a sandwich." The table erupted into a fit of grand laughter as Nnoitra shoved Yumichika off of him and grumbled as he sulkly went back to eating his sandwiches. Only when he was done did he tell Yumichika that he had lied.
(**BL**)
Ulquiorra, Grimmjow, Szayel, and Ylfordt walked back to their dorms as Yumichika and Shinji gave Nnoitra his final goodbye gropping. Ulquiorra and Grimmjow walked silently beside the couple necking. Ulquiorra wasn't really the type for public displays of affection and his other half didn't really seemed to mind. Lately Ulquiorra was worried about his friends, the fact that Nnoitra's eyes were always fixated on Shinji and also Shinji's blushing. Now it wasn't like Shinji hadn't forced a blush onto his cheeks when flirting with people before but it was a specific moment of blushing that Ulquiorra was sure he wasn't supposed to see. Or more precise it was who he was blushing at, none other than Nnoitra. Which was bad, very bad considering he was the only thing his best friend had ever called family. While most of them could remember at least a little from their life before Las Noches Yumichika didn't, nothing. Nnoitra was Yumichika's only link to a real life beyond the Seritei which automatically should mean that any of them touching him was off limits. So why when their eyes connected as Yumichika flittered on to Ylfordt about his pretty hair did Shinji blush? Did Shinji not understand the damage he could do if the rest of the group found out? Now as much as Ulquiorra liked Shinji it didn't compare to the love he felt for Yumichika. Yumichika who had protected him from Aizen on so many occassions he couldn't count, that was how the flamboyant boy had always been.
When Ulquiorra had first arrived to Las Noches he had been so afraid. After his 'initiation' into the group Grimmjow carried him to the infirmiry and that is when he met Yumichika. He had a bright smile on his face as he helped clean the wounds, back then Yumichika was always smiling. Ulquiorra had never asked why, he just did. That night Aizen wanted seconds and Yumichika being Yumichika had come with Grimmjow to drop him off. As soon as Aizen opened his door Yumichika crushed his foot over the man's naked toe which enraged him enough to completely forget about Ulquiorra for days. After that moment he'd loved Yumichika forever, how could Shinji possibly think of doing something like this?
"You okay Ulqi?" Grimmjow answered as he put his keys into the door and opened it. Ulquiorra shrugged and walked into the dark room, switching the light on as he walked in.
"Grim..what if…I don't know, just what if say we werent together and I liked Ylfordt and he and Szayel weren't together. How would you deal with us getting together?" Ulquiorra asked as he looked at the taller man. Grimmjow's eyes practically bulged out of his sockets and he gasped.
"You're leaving me!" Grimmjow heaved before crossing the room to pick Ulquiorra into a tight bear hug. Ulquiorra rolled his eyes and shoved the blue haired man away in disgust.
"No you idiot. Ok, bad setup I see. Alright now think about this, think Ichigo having a crush on Yumichika. What would you do if you saw them wanting eachother?" he asked. He didn't think that Grimmjow's surprised expression could grow anymore crazy looking but he was wrong. Grimmjow was stuck frozen in place looking like a deer caught in headlights. Had Ichigo been that damn obvious? Shit, shit,Nnoitra's gonna freak if Ulquiorra says ANYTHING at all to Szayel. That bitch couldn't keep a secret if his life depended on it.
"I'm just asking trash! You asked what was wrong and I was wondering what would happen if something happened between anyone and Yumichika or Nnoitra okay." Grimmjow's body relaxed and he sat down on the bed as he rubbed his temples.
"Why?" Ulquiorra turned to the window and stuck his hands in his pockets as he began to wonder why he even cared what Nnoitra did.
"I don't know" Grimmjow moved to sit on the edge of the bed and reached out to pull his lover to straddle his lap. Uliquiorra looped his arms around the bluenette's neck and Grimmjow gave him a small peck on the lips.
"I wouldn't worry. Honestly I thought I was the only one who noticed, did Yumi say something?"
"No" Uliquiorra scowled and looked up into blue eyes. "He doesn't even know. I keep thinking that maybe I should say something-"
"No, no, no, no. Bad Idea. If Nnoitra got wind of it he'd be pissed, pure rampage mode. Something I'm not so sure I want to be receiving the brunt of. Plus it's not like they haven't known eachother for a while, their adults. The shit we all went through, I'm sure they know what they're doing" Ulquiorra nodded and sighed. Grimmjow was right, if Yumichika ever found out about Shinji and Nnoitra they would all be in trouble.
(**Break**)
"So pretty Yumichika..so pretty" The brunette man purred as he pressed the small child down onto the big mattress. Yumichika's eyes clenched shut and he breathed heavily as he was gathered into the big mans arms. "So tight..so beautiful..your growing to look just like your mother you know. I hope Gin wasn't too rough this time little mama" Yumichika felt the tears roll out onto his cheeks as his clothing was carefully removed.
"P-Please papa. I-I it hurts. I cant, my..please don't" he choked out with a cry. Gin did hurt him, Gin was his best customer after all and spent the most dirty money on him so he did what he pleased. It had only been a few hours that he had been out of the infirmiry when he was summoned to Aizens quarters. But Aizen, the bastard, didn't have a care in the world.
"Open your eyes mama" Aizen said as he kissed young boys neck softly. Yumichika slowly opened his eyes and looked up at Aizen, he couldn't disobey. If he did he would be put back into 'storage' and he just couldn't deal with that pain ever again. He remembered the last time he'd been put in storage, he and Nnoi had attempted an escape and nearly got away until Yammy found them like he always did. Yumichika had to watch as Nnoi's eye was pulled from its socket and was raped as the thing was shoved into his mouth. It was horrifying but he knew from that moment that he would never run again.
"Papa..papa please papa. Papa don't it hurts. Please!" he screamed as fingers began to touch inside of him. "No no no no" he repeated over and over again as he was violated. His screams grew loud as IT began to push inside of him..
Yumichika gasped awake and bolted up on his bed. He immediately looked over at the bed on the opposite side of the room and found it was empty. For what seemed like a lifetime Yumichika tried to force himself to stop crying, he reminded himself to breath and know that nothing was wrong. He was in the Seritei and nothing would hurt him. Aizen couldn't get to him for now, nothing was wrong. Nothing except for him, he suddenly wondered if Ulqi woke up like this every once in a while too. Wondered how it would feel to have Grimmjow comfort him to sleep, Grimmjow seemed to be so nice to Ulqi sometimes. So cautious and caring, not like Nnoitra. Nnoitra who didn't even rise when Yumichika woke in the middle of the night. Nnoitra would just raise his arm and motion him to come over, he would everytime. He would run over and bury himself under the tall man's covers as he was held and cried his eyes out for hours. There were no soft touches, no kisses, no kind words. Just a strong hold around him, a hand around his neck, and a voice telling him not to get too upset or he would have a panic attack. But it always comforted him somehow, he would always calm down and spend the night laying ontop of Nnoitra who didn't really seem to mind.
But Nnoitra was not there tonight, he was having surgury on his brain. Apperantly him being so tall wasn't normal and when Jyuushiro brought him to the hospital the first time they told him that he had something pressing on his brain that would make him keep growing until they removed it. When Yumichika first heard the news he had been relieved that someone agreed that Nnoitra's growing was not just late puberty. No one he had ever spoken to had ever admitted to knowing a six-foot-ten 17 year old, ever. It occurred to Yumichika that it was amazing how this rare dream would come over him at such an annoying time, figures the one person who could calm him was out getting his brain fiddled with.
Yumichika flinched as he heard a knock on his door. He tried to be quiet hoping the disruption would soon go away if he pretended no one was there but to no avail. The shaking running through his body hadn't ceased and he really wasn't in the mood to explain why. "Open up" Ichigo's voice floated into the room and Yumichika groaned to himself. Ichigo was the very last person who he would want in his room. Ichigo might as well be a complete stranger to him, he'd only been in Las Noches for a few months and he was always figgety. Yumichika wasn't clear on why Ichigo had even bothered to come knock on his door. It wasn't like he and Ichigo had ever even had a conversation after all. Ichigo was just one of Nnoitra's lackeys, the longest talk they'd had was a group talk on what they should get Nnoitra for his birthday. He and Ichigo had laughed as the orange haired man offered a new eye patch or maybe a child proofed sword so he couldn't poke the other one out.
Yumichika wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his kimono and hesitantly stood to walk to the door. He placed his hand on the doorknob and took a deep breath before opening it. Ichigo stood tall just leaning on the door frame with his head bent low just staring at his feet. Yumichika looked up and noticed that the orange haired man's eyes had been closed before opening slowly to look into Yumichika's midsection. "Yes, Ichigo?"
"Uhm.." he started, searching for the words. "I, well, I came over to..are you alright?" he finally asked then looked up into Yumichika's eyes. Yumichika couldn't help but look away from the intense auburn eyes that looked down at him. He shrugged and crossed his arms. The brunette couldn't help but feel that this was getting akward. For a few silent moments they just stood there, Yumichika noticed the way Ichigo's eyes moved over his body and he felt uncomfortable.
He reached up unconciously and wrapped his kimono tighter around his top half. Ichigo's eyes promptly squeezed shut and Yumichika became curious. Did Ichigo Kurosaki just check me out? He thought to himself then stepped into the taller mans personal space. Just like he thought, Ichigo didn't even move away. Yumichika gasped as he felt strong arms wrap around him and pull him into a hug. He really didn't know what to do, was this a friendly hug..romantic?..maybe out of kindness. He couldn't tell. Yumichika's hands came to rest on the red heads back and he put his head on his chest. This must have been how Ulqi felt when Grimmjow was there, this comfort..subtle understanding. It was an interesting form of solace that Yumichika really couldn't put his finger on, he had never felt so loved. Actually he had never felt love at all, he always heard Syazel asking Ulqi how much he loved Grimmjow but Ulqi never answered. A pink flush would always grace his cheeks and that was it. Yumichika wondered if this is how it felt.
"I just wanted to know if you were okay" Ichigo whispered before drawling back to look into Yumichika's eyes. "I heard you.." Ichigo's voice trailed as he lost himself in those violet eyes. Yumichika had always been so beautiful, when he was around the younger boy he always found himself at a loss for words. It's like Yumichika had the power to resort him to a pile of goo with one look, it had always been that way. Ichigo couldn't quite remember the moment he knew he was in love with the flamboyant queen but he knew it had been that way for a while. Now, here he stood with the gorgeous creature in his arms and he really couldn't stop himself.
Ichigo bent down and touched his lips to the smaller ones. Yumichika gasped as he felt the first touch, it was very rare that he'd ever gotten kissed on the lips in his life. Aizen had kissed him plenty of times as did other customers but it had never been so delicate. He pressed up onto his tippy toes to make the kiss deeper and felt the arms draw him closer. By the end of the kiss he was hardly standing on his own and he was saddened to feel himself being put down and Ichigo pull away. Ichigo's eyes were clenched shut and he had his hands on Yumichika's shoulders before detatching himself.
"So your ok?" he asked again, once more hiding his face in his hair as he bent his head down.
"Yeah" Yumichika answered and stare up at him. Ichigo nodded and made his move to turn and walk back to his room next door. Yumichika hastily grabbed the sleeve of Ichigo's night shirt and felt a shiver go through his body as their eyes met. "Uhm..I lied..I'm not okay." Yumichika grew desperate and he took a step toward him to pull Ichigo's arms back around himself. "Could you just..stay? For a little while. You could leave when I'm asleep if you want, just stay.." Ichigo momentarily looked down into the violet eyes before pulling Yumichika to his chest and walking into the dark room.
He knew the right side was Yumichika's because of the many times that he and his crew had all lounged around to smoke or drink. Ichigo could remember one night when he had first hit Nnoitra's extra large bong that he had stare up at all the pictures of the eight of them littering over the wall. He couldn't remember when they had all been taken but he remembered smiling at a picture of himself, Yumichika and Shinji were on either side of him in sexy poses as he sat with a wide grin and a blush spread across his cheeks. It was his birthday and they had all been very much under the influence. That was the night he had (ok, offered) to carry Yumichika home, the first time he'd ever been close enough to smell the brunette. Yumichika smelt like honey, he didn't know if it was the shampoo or the spray or what it was but Yumichika had always managed to smell like sweet honey. Even when he was drunk and smelt like weed Yumichika still smelled like the underlying smell of honey.
Yumichika settled himself on top of Ichigo and lay his head on the orange-heads chest. He melted into the strong arms around him and closed his eyes. Yumichika drifted to sleep listening to the soft breathing and the heartbeat beneath his ear.
