Shopping with Papa
There's nothing quite like the fear a parent feels when they can't find their child in a public place. Grimmjow was finding this out the hard way as he was currently and frantically searching for Sorin in a crowd of people. Of course, being him, his fear was translated into anger and he sent many patrons of the strip mall fleeing from the sight of his fierce face.
"Sorin!" he called out, Taichi on one hip and Tomoe on his other. Taichi was crying but Tomoe was gleefully eating the ice cream cone Grimmjow had bought for her resulting in Sorin's disappearance.
Grimmjow stopped when he heard a squeal of familiar laughter followed by a few shocked gasps and he turned in the direction of the noises, blue eyes searching the feet of the passers by. A streak of blue caught his eye and he was off chasing after it, jostling Taichi and Tomoe so much that Taichi cried harder and Tomoe lost her ice cream causing her to join in as well. Grimmjow silently promised to kill Ichigo for thinking it would be a good idea for Grimmjow to take all three kids out that day. By himself.
"Sorin!"
"Oh my God. Did you see that child?" a woman to Grimmjow's right said behind a hand and Grimmjow slowed his steps. "Where on earth are his parents?"
"Shit," Grimmjow muttered and Tomoe put a hand over his mouth.
"Bad word!" she said loudly and Grimmjow rolled his eyes.
"Shut up." he mumbled and looked back around for Sorin.
He wasn't sure how long he looked but it was a small crowd that finally drew him across a small open area between buildings. Hushed murmurs greeted him and he grit his teeth at what he heard.
"… running around all by himself…."
"… where his parents are…."
"… and without any clothes on!"
Grimmjow's eyes widened and he finally pushed his way through the small crowd to see Sorin sitting on a bench with a woman's cardigan wrapped around him apparently entertaining everyone.
"Sorin!" Grimmjow snapped and everyone's head turned in Grimmjow's direction.
"Papa!" Sorin cried out and jumped off the bench, letting the cardigan fall as he ran to his father stark naked.
"Eww!" Tomoe said loudly, hiding her face in Grimmjow's neck and Sorin stopped, frowning at his sister before placing two tiny fists on his hips and laughing like a maniac.
"Oh my God." Grimmjow whispered under his breath not sure if he should beat the little shit or laugh at the show his son was putting on.
"Where are yer clothes?" he decided was the best thing to say and Sorin shrugged.
"Clothes are stupid." the small boy said before his face broke out in a wide smile. "Naked if fun!"
"Not in public!"
Grimmjow could feel the stares on him, the judging eyes that called him a bad father, and he sneered down at Sorin, shifting Taichi on his hip and reaching out and grabbing Sorin's arm and yanking him up off the ground.
"Papa." Sorin whined as Grimmjow stomped out of the crowded strip mall to the car. "My clothes."
"You have more at home." Grimmjow growled and tried to ignore the look that Sorin was giving him; the pouty lip, the watery eyes.
When Sorin began to wail Grimmjow grit his teeth. When Taichi joined in, Grimmjow could feel the headache coming on. When Tomoe decided she wanted in on that as well Grimmjow lost his battle with what little patience he already had left and barked out a loud, "SHUT UP!", starling all three children into silence. Unfortunately it was a brief one as all three of them suddenly erupted in a loud chorus of cries. Grimmjow felt the back of his neck grow hot with disapproving stares and he almost cried out with joy when the car came into sight.
Tossing all three of his children inside, buckling a naked and struggling Sorin into his seat last, Grimmjow threw himself into the driver's seat and drove as quickly though safely as he could home.
Never again. Never again was he taking the three of them out by himself.
A/N Ah, randomness. I was frustrated with my own daughter this morning, though not for any reason like this, and I kinda took it out on poor Grimm apparently. So let's say the triplets are around three here, okay? Sorin doesn't like clothes ;p I feel bad for his daddy's. Anyway, enjoy~
Oh, I almost forgot. I drew the triplets! Go check them out at the fanclub if you haven't already, link is on my profile page :D
