The Only Exception
Chapter 2
Grimmjow sat at the kitchen table, his arms splayed out across the table, his head resting on his arms. He hadn't moved since Ichigo had walked out this morning. It was long past midnight now and his teen had yet to come home. He was starting to worry about him, even though he knew the berry could look after himself.
"I'm a freakin' idiot," he sighed, banging his head against the table, "I shouldn' have let Nnoitra and Ulquiorra get me so drunk and set me up." He got up from the table, sighing, making his way the bedroom to get some much-needed sleep. He slipped out of his jeans and got into bed, in just his boxers. As he was drifting off, he heard the front door open and shut quietly. 'So he finally decided to come home,' Grimmjow thought as he heard Ichigo flop onto the couch. Grimmjow dragged himself out of bed walking across the room to the door. He propped himself up against the frame as he watched his lover. Ichigo sat with his head resting on the back of the couch, his eyes closed and a look of deep thought on his face.
Grimmjow contemplated on what he should do. In all truthfulness, he wanted to walk over and wrap his arms around his berry, and pull him into a deep hug. He wanted to kiss away all the pain and confusion he had caused the teen, that was so evident in the teens body language. He wanted to say he loved him, over and over again, not stopping until Ichigo was blushing like the little berry he was. But if he did that Ichigo would probably get angrier, than he already was, at him. Not to mention his own pride would be severely wounded.
"I'm sorry."
Ichigo jumped at the voice, glancing over at the bedroom door, "Shit Grimm, you scared me half to death. I thought you were asl. . . " The teen trailed off as he saw the expression on the older mans face. His stomach dropped and his heart clenched. The teal-haired man looked truly remorseful.
Ichigo knew that, for whatever reason Grimmjow had cheated on him, he had never meant to hurt him. Though the teen knew he should walk away and never look back, he could never bring himself to do that to Grimmjow, no matter the reason. Ichigo sighed, taking a deep breathe. He wasn't angry at the teal-haired; it was more hurt than anything else. Ichigo loved Grimmjow, through thick and thin, no matter what got in their way.
"I'm so, so sorry Ichi," The teal-haired continued, guilt and regret thick in his voice. Ichigo was surprised, Grimmjow rarely showed so much emotion, around anyone, unless he was fighting. The older man walked over and sat next to Ichigo, taking his lovers hands in his own. He kissed Ichigo's palms gently, not looking the teen in the eye.
"I'm sorry, I really am. I went out with Nnoittra and Ulquiorra and they got me real piss faced and they set me up with some random. I barely remember half the night. I never meant to hurt ya, Ichi. You know that."
Ichigo just starred, bewildered at how pained Grimmjow looked. His chest tightened as he reached out and tenderly lifted the older mans chin up, looking him straight in his deep teal eyes. A small smile graced his face as he leaned in and pressed his lips to Grimmjows softly. Grimmjow was stunned at first but quickly returned the kiss, deepening it slowly. Ichigo hooked his arms around the teal-haired's neck, laying back, pulling Grimmjow down so he was straddling the teens waist. Grimmjow broke the kiss and gazed deep into Ichigo's eyes. He smirked down at his lover.
"So I guess that means ya forgive me,"
"I forgive you," Ichigo said smoothly, nodding, his vermillion eyes unwavering, "but do it again and I will kick your ass."
Grimmjow chuckled as he swooped down for a chaste kiss, and then proceeded to kiss every part of Ichigo's neck, shoulder and chest, he had access to.
"Got it," He replied, smiling, his hands roaming his berry's body, "I love ya Ichi. You, and only you."
"Love you too, Grimm," Ichigo responded as he gently nudged Grimm off him. He got up and stood infront of his teal-haired lover, "Oh, and no sex for a week."
"WHAT?" Grimmjow yelled as Ichigo fled to the bedroom, laughing loudly.
