Chapter 2

So, when stuck with what to wear to a themed club night who could you turn to? Options were: his father who had lived through the eighties and still dressed like they were the present, no; his sweet little sister who would love to help but might struggle with the idea of eighties sexy but not stupid, no; her evil spawn twin who'd definitely bring out the neon hair spray, no; last option a best friend with a slight dress up compulsion but at least is gay and a guy and understands the look going for. Well, Ichigo knew he could dress himself. Not that he had the option.

Why did he tell Ikkaku about the date again?

Yumichika and his long suffering boyfriend turned up at Ichigo's doorstep on the Saturday morning complete with bags in each hand. And Karin let them in.

Ichigo flopped back on his bed as the pair entered his bedroom, trying to ignore the grins on their faces. "I did not ask for your help."

"That's the beauty of friendship Ichi; it's never having to ask."

Ichigo was quickly pulled off the bed and thrown against the wall with a scowl on his face. Yumi just ignored him though and started pulling items out of the bags to toss onto the bed into outfits. Ichigo just got to scowl at the amount neon appearing.

iiiii

Grimmjow was surveying his domain, his usual stance of hanging over the balcony railing not quite as relaxed as it usually was and his gaze was a little more focused as he tried to pick his angel out of the crowd. It wouldn't be as easy this time; everyone writhing on the dance floor below was decked out in a riot of colours. He had decided to keep it simple in a white suit, jacket sleeves rolled up and a white t-shirt with neon stripes. With his blue hair standing out he knew he looked good. And he'd look even better when the black light came on after eleven.

A hand at his elbow pulled him away from his search, his best friend Nnoitra standing just behind him. He inclined his head in greeting before turning back to the main floor.

"You're new little toy has arrived. Yammy recognised him by the stupid dye job." Nnoitra grinned at the scowl aimed his way from his friend.

"Don't be jealous Nnoi; he might have a nice young friend for you." Grimmjow smirked up at his taller friend.

"Heh, not all of us like them young and stupid."

"Ha, shows what you know, this one's training to be a doctor."

Grimmjow hadn't noticed the man climbing the stairs, Ichigo pausing as he spotted the one he came to see. The white suit made Grimmjow stand out in the dim lighting and the blue hair that Ichigo has suspected was false was still there. Either the dye was more permanent than Ichigo would have used or it was as real as his own. Ichigo felt a little uncomfortable in the clothes Yumi has forced on him but it was the best out of all the outfits the pair had brought him. The shirt was sleeveless and loose on him and the old school Letterman jacket that Yumi had found somewhere was huge on him and made him feel like he'd borrowed his father's coat. Teamed with a pair of baggy jeans that gave him so much more room than anything he'd ever worn made his very understated outfit but he wasn't exactly trying hard.

The man at the velvet rope recognised him and bowed slightly at the waist as he lifted the hook which made Ichigo blush and thank him quietly. He kept his eyes fixed on the Grimmjow's back but did catch the eye of the man's friend Nnoitra who was grinning widely over Grimmjow's shoulder.

He approached them and heard a little of their conversation.

"So, playing doctor and nurses then? Going to get him to take your temperature?

"Only if he'll let me return the favour." Grimmjow was grinning widely as his friend laughed, finally noticing that Nnoitra was looking past him. Grimmjow turned slightly and felt his smile widen at the sight of Ichigo behind him. His bright hair was swept back at the sides in an attempt at an eighties style but Grimmjow knew from having his fingers buried in that hair that it was the type to not keep to style. Not that it mattered as Grimmjow would be messing it up later. The rest of him looked fit to eat, the letterman jacket making him look a bit younger than he had the previous week and a bit more delicate. Grimmjow wasn't sure he liked that, he appreciated the slightly tougher look the other had sported as an angel.

"Hello there, don't you look good enough to eat."

Ichigo blushed and ducked his head a little but came back up with a little smirk on his face. "Hey, hope this is ok. Don't really know eighties style so a friend helped me out."

Grimmjow reached out and pulled the younger man to him by the oversized jacket, bringing him close enough for a light peck on the lips. "Well I like it but," Grimmjow peeled the jacket off and hung it on his arm. "I hope you don't mind but that makes you look like you're still in high school and I don't want to get arrested for child abuse."

Ichigo paled slightly but the dim lights covered for him. That reminded him of the dangerous line he was playing on. This guy not only was the owner of a bar that would get in trouble for serving a seventeen year old, but the man himself could get in a lot of trouble for being involved with someone who wasn't legal yet.

Ikkaku had brought that up after Yumi's birthday party, reminding Ichigo to be careful. Ichigo was over sixteen so it wasn't illegal for him to sleep with someone but too large an age gap could still get the older in trouble. Ichigo didn't know how to work out Grimmjow's age without having to reveal his own and he didn't want to start spinning huge lies that would only start tripping him up. Grimmjow pointing it out just put a time limit on his fun. He did like the guy too much to get him in trouble.

"You know, if we were in high school I'd have let you wear my jacket. I was on the athletics team. You do any sports apart from Karate?"

Ichigo was impressed he'd remembered. "I do cross country, 100m alternate as well."

Grimmjow nodded, impressed. "Your legs would give you an advantage I imagine. I couldn't believe how long they were when they were wrapped around me last week."

Ichigo flushed again, smiling a bit in his embarrassment. "Yeah well, you try finding jeans for them. Most shops don't make them long enough but still fit my middle."

Grimmjow smirked. "I'd have no problem you walking around in nothing if you lived with me. You know, just to save your good trousers. Anyway, how about a drink, and maybe a dance this week?"

Ichigo agreed to both, accepting another honey whiskey and savouring the flavour right away. Grimmjow clinked his glass against Ichigo's before he took his fist sip and he laid his arm around Ichigo's shoulders to hold him close as they stood.

"So, I'm assuming you still live with your folks? Any siblings?"

Ichigo's eyebrow raised as the very obvious question reached him. "Erm, yeah. I live with my dad and my twin sisters. They're younger than me though."

"And your mum?"

Ichigo hesitated, taking a large swallow of the drink to distract the heavy feeling in his chest at the question. "She died, when I was nine. We got mugged."

Grimmjow's blue eyes widened, turning and looking down at the suddenly hunched and saddened man under his arm. "We?"

Ichigo shrugged, pressing himself in firmer and laying his head on Grimmjow's collar bone.

"I'm sorry; I should have thought and not asked when you said you just lived with your dad." Grimmjow wrapped his other arm around Ichigo, holding him properly and close. Ichigo's shampoo was slightly minty and the smell drifted up Grimmjow's nose but it was very pleasant.

Ichigo pulled away slightly with a sad smile on his face. "It's alright; it was a long time ago. I guess I just struggle to talk about it still. We were on the way back from my karate lesson; I don't really want to go into it, if that's alright."

Grimmjow leaned his cheek on Ichigo's head. "No, it's more than alright. And I am sorry I pushed."

Ichigo sniffed, blinking back nothing before trying to change the subject. "What about you? Where do you live?"

"I've got an apartment near my office in town. My other office I mean. I do have a day job to pay for all this."

"It must be a good one." Ichigo spoke under his breath as he looked around again.

"Not as good as yours will be when you're a surgeon, but then I guess you'll be in school a while longer before you start to earn. That's alright, when we move in together I'll support you." Grimmjow smirked as he spoke, winking at the other at his shocked look. "God I'm kidding, well not really but you never know what will happen in a couple of years."

"Glad you are so sure of things." Ichigo's eyes were a little wide and his voice was a little breathless at the casual comment about their future. He like the other, found him attractive and charming but it was such an early thing.

"Come on; let's go dominate that dance floor."

iiiiiiii

Their night ended in Grimmjow's office again, this time the older man locking the door before lifting Ichigo onto the desk. He gently spread Ichigo's jean clad legs before standing between them and laying Ichigo back gently. His feet were on the floor but the desk was the perfect height for him to lay his groin right over Ichigo's. Ichigo didn't need any convincing to wrap his long legs around the other, lying submissively underneath him. Grimmjow wasn't really happy about that, he wanted the fiery, passionate man he'd had pressed against him last week.

"Something wrong Babe?"

Ichigo shook his head, pupils blown wide.

"Was just wondering why you weren't touching me. All I want to do is put my big hands all over your slim body, to feel your skin under my palms but you aren't really acting like you want me to." Grimmjow's hands were staying above the clothes but holding Ichigo's torso firmly.

"No, nothings wrong honestly. And I really really want you to touch you more. I just, I don't really know what to do."

Grimmjow frowned and Ichigo's blush intensified. It took him a minute but Grimmjow realised eventually what the problem was. "You've not done this before have you? Just with a guy or at all?"

Ichigo dropped his gaze for a second but Grimmjow didn't allow it, pulling his chin up and making eye contact again. "At all? I've not done anything before; you're the first person I've kissed properly." The last was said very quietly but Grimmjow had exceptional hearing. He plunged in for a searing kiss, taking Ichigo's breath away.

"And you asked for it. You impress me at every turn my Angel. At least I was right to stop things last week eh? I'll take this nice and slow but if you ever feel like you don't want to do something or don't want to reciprocate then don't. And don't feel embarrassed to tell me these things, or ask me. I am a very patient teacher." Grimmjow pinned him to the desk again, finding his hands and lacing their fingers. "I want you to touch me. I want to feel your hands on my skin and I have no problems with what you touch." Grimmjow ran the back of Ichigo's hand down his front. He turned Ichigo's hand and pushed the fingers under his own t-shirt. He closed his eyes at the feel of the cool skin touching his burning abdomen. Ichigo didn't need much more prompting, running his hand down the toned front. Grimmjow hummed approvingly and bent his head to nuzzle at Ichigo's neck, running his lips gently over the skin.

Ichigo's other hand lifted and slid under the white shirt at the back. Grimmjow's mouth opened and a hot, wet kiss landed just underneath Ichigo's ear which made Ichigo's hands clench on Grimmjow's skin. They proceeded to tease and touch each other, Grimmjow's hands making their way underneath Ichigo's loose top. Ichigo's breath caught when Grimmjow squeezed his sides and he moaned into the older man's mouth.

"God, you're like a drug. You should be illegal. I just want to eat you alive, to devour all of you. I don't know if I'll even let you leave this room." Grimmjow didn't let Ichigo respond, covering his mouth with his own and tangling their tongues. "If you weren't so damn innocent you'd be naked already and wrapped around me. I want you to just turn to mush in my hands. I can't believe I'm the first person to make you moan." Grimmjow ran his hands down; wrapping them around Ichigo's round bottom and pulled him against his groin.

"Shit, my head is spinning so much." Ichigo wrapped his arms around Grimmjow's neck, closing his eyes and letting his head lean against the desk.

"In a good way?" Grimmjow was smirking when Ichigo glanced at him, the younger man chuckling at the look on his face.

"Hell yes, I just didn't know it would be like this."

"Oh Babe, you've not felt anything yet. Want to calm it down for a minute though?" Grimmjow leaned up on his elbows, still smirking down at the other who was looking a little wrecked on the desk.

"I'm about to pass out. So yeah, maybe."

Grimmjow snorted as he leaned off Ichigo, turning and perching his ass on the desk. Ichigo stayed laid out for a moment, breathing heavily and hands on his chest. Grimmjow just folded his and looked down at the smaller man, his smile turning softer as he appreciated the other's looks, his body and face worthy of a little adoration.

Ichigo propped himself onto his elbows, making eye contact with the other. "It's rude to stare, especially since I'm still struggling to get my heart rate down."

"Yeah, but it's your own fault. You're too damn gorgeous."

Ichigo flushed, sitting up and leaning next to Grimmjow. "I don't know about that. I'm just me. I'm a bit scrawny compared to you."

Grimmjow shrugged. "You mean all this? I put on muscle easy; you don't have the frame for it. Besides, I don't actually find it all that attractive. I prefer a narrow waist and tight ass to big shoulders and arms. Besides, if I didn't find you hot as fuck I wouldn't be sporting some fairly painful wood right now."

Ichigo flushed, glancing down to Grimmjow's groin and seeing the outline of his substantial man parts. "Yeah, I know what you mean."

"Look, it's nearly closing time and I gotta go cash up the tills. You are welcome to stay but it'll take an hour or so. Why don't we meet for a drink, even a coffee or something this week? I'm not working next Saturday night so we could even go out on a date if you fancy?"

"This is you working?" Ichigo smiled as he said it, his bottom lip disappearing in-between his teeth as he spoke.

"Cheeky shit. I'll have you know I've been here since two this afternoon and it's just gone three in the morning. This is after I've worked a five day week and a Friday night here. Yeah I get to relax during the open hours unless something happens, gives me time to pick up sexy angels."

"Well since you work so hard I guess you deserve a day off, and I'd like to get a coffee with you."

"Sorted, coffee next Saturday, then maybe dinner. Then maybe dessert."

iiiiiiiiii

Ichigo was so glad when he could just put on his normal clothes and go out to meet Grimmjow. Yumi had inquired to that week's theme but Ichigo was so happy to get to tell him to take the night off playing dress up.

A simple polo shirt and jeans with his coat slung over it was comfortable and made him feel more confident. He didn't hurry to the café they'd decided on but may have trotted a little on the last block or so. He was the first to arrive and found a quiet table at the window to be able get some daylight viewing of the other's face and to people spot until he arrived.

He was seriously falling for the club owner. Grimmjow was domineering enough to take his breath but he was so conscientious about rushing them or making Ichigo feel uncomfortable. And he was so gorgeous and cool. Just thinking about his lazy half smile made Ichigo smile in response. The memory of being held close by the big arms was enough to raise goose bumps on Ichigo's skin and he ran his hand up his exposed upper arms to sooth them.

"I hope it's me you're thinking about with that look on your face or I'm about to get very jealous."

Ichigo jumped at the voice in his ear, making Grimmjow put a hand on his shoulder. Ichigo chuckled and shook his head at the other's silliness. "Of course it is, I'm still spinning a bit from last Saturday to be honest."

Grimmjow snorted a little before bending and giving Ichigo a sweet, closed mouth kiss hello. "I'm glad I can leave a good impression. What would you like to drink? Are you hungry for some lunch?"

Ichigo shrugged, arms still around himself. "Tea please? And I could eat but I'm not starved."

"Excellent, I'll go and get some hot drinks and a couple of menus then. Be right back." Grimmjow pecked him on the cheek before leaving, the little intimacy making Ichigo smile and sigh softly.

The larger man didn't take long to come back with two mugs and a folded paper menu, pulling his seat from across from Ichigo to next to him. He placed the tea in front if Ichigo before sitting, laying his hand onto Ichigo's own and squeezing. "You cold? I mean we can move seat back if you want a bit?"

Ichigo shook his head. "Honestly? You're giving me goose bumps."

Grimmjow smiled that half smile Ichigo was starting to love so much. "Well, then I apologise. I will endeavour to be a little less overwhelming."

Ichigo took a sip of his tea, frowning a little as it burned his lip a little. "So, how was work this week?"

Grimmjow laughed his smile widening until it made his eyes crinkle. "Fine dear, how was yours?" He continued to laugh as Ichigo shook his head. "Nah, seriously it was alright. Couple of internal problems but I'm getting to the bottom of it."

"Are you the boss?" Ichigo was genuinely interested though he knew he should avoid any serious sharing with the other.

"Yep, here anyway. My father owns the company, since my grandfather stepped down. He's in corporate HQ in America. I'm just vice CEO here. In charge but not really. I'm more the monkey wrangler. Right now some of the monkeys are misbehaving."

"I'm sure you'll figure it out. You don't seem to be someone that gets ruffled easily."

"What about you? How was class this week?"

Ichigo hesitated for a moment, not wanting to really talk about the fact he was still in high school. Grimmjow clearly assumed he was in college or university but Ichigo's knowledge of his the worked came from movies and TV shows he'd seen. "Alright, got a serious biology test coming up soon and math is giving me a serious headache."

"Ooooo, bio. I guess that is pretty important for a future doctor so I wish you luck with that. Math I liked at school but if you seriously need help my accountant could be available for tutoring, you know as a favour."

Ichigo snorted. "Like I can afford a corporate tutor."

"Like I'd ask you to pay for it." Grimmjow raised his eyebrow and held Ichigo's gaze for a moment. "Look Babe, I know I just met you three weeks ago and this is our first proper date but I have seriously fallen for you and if I knew I wouldn't get a punch for it I'd probably get down on one knee right now."

Ichigo blinked at him before smiling wryly. "You really think I'd punch you for that? You'd get thrown through the window."

Grimmjow laughed loudly again, drawing a little attention for it but he ignored it. "That's my black belt angel. And yeah, it's too soon but please know I want more for us. I want you to be just mine, my boyfriend if you don't mind the title."

"Who else's would I be? And the title doesn't bother me as long as it's mutual."

"I'm your boyfriend." Grimmjow said it in a sing song voice, smiling the whole time before laying his arm across Ichigo's shoulders. "Give your boyfriend a kiss." They were both smiling as their lips met, little pecks and slightly open mouthed touches making them both grin stupidly. "Right, I'm not used to having time so I've not eaten yet today and I'm starving."

They both looked over the menu, deciding on burgers and fries each and Grimmjow got up to pay, refusing to even look at the note Ichigo held out to pay for his own. "You're my boyfriend, I asked you on a date and we both know fine well I'm not short of cash. Let me buy you lunch."

Grimmjow ordered at the bar before returning to a quieter Ichigo, not quite looking Grimmjow in the eye. Grimmjow sat his elbow on the table and leaned his chin on his hand. "Are you mad at me? Right after I proposed?"

Ichigo finally met his eyes, an incredulous look on his face. Grimmjow just smiled smugly since he'd made the other look. "No I'm not mad at you. And thank you for paying for lunch."

"Please don't think I'm just going to flash cash to get in your pants. It just seems a bit stupid for you to worry about rent or food for the next week over a burger and fries. You haven't mentioned a part time job yet so I assume you're living off a student loan or your Dad."

Ichigo shrugged, taking a mouthful of his much cooler tea. "No, I don't have a job. I don't have time with karate and school. I'm at meets most weekends and train twice a week. Plus I've got to hit the pool as often as I can for cardio. My pop doesn't like me running in the street."

Grimmjow made a noise of agreement. "Yeah, I can understand that after you lost your mum. I'll go for a run with you if you like? My place is near a park and it's really nice, no trouble in it plus they're would be two of us. No one would mess with us."

Ichigo nodded. "That would be cool." Their food arrived and they thanked the waitress before starting. Ichigo chewed thoughtfully before speaking again. "You haven't told me much about your family, other than that you work for your dad."

"Well, my dad is the head of the company, my mum works there as well. She's kind of his assistant I guess but I don't think he'd manage without her. She pretty much does everything. I've got a sister, Nel. She's in America too but she doesn't work for the company. She went into modelling though she's more getting into production as she's getting older. She's three years older than me. We get along alright but apparently I was the golden child growing up, could do no wrong and she can occasionally get the idea that I'm our parent's favourite. Don't know where she gets that idea from. Oh apparent from the fact that I say it all the time."

Ichigo chuckled along with him, enjoying his food as well as the company. "I've got two sisters."

"Twins right? But they're younger than you I'm sure you said. I bet that is easier than a bossy older one."

Ichigo rolled his eyes. "Yeah but they come with their own problems. Yuzu is the older twin, but is the quieter and sweeter one. She's kind of like the housewife of the family, takes care of us all. Karin is twenty minutes younger and is more of a tom boy. She likes to try and pick on me but she's not very good at it yet. And she kind of needs me. Our father is, a little different. I had to do the puberty stuff for the girls, he would have been useless."

Grimmjow winced in sympathy. "Tampons and bras? Eech, you are a brave man, and I bet you were pretty young at the time as well."

"Well I've joked with my friend Ikkaku that it was enough to make me gay so I don't know how brave I was."

Grimmjow polished off his plate before Ichigo and was just enjoying his coffee as they spoke and ate. "So, if you knew from quite young that you liked guys, and you have some gay friends, why haven't you had a boyfriend? I mean don't get me wrong, I find it sexy as hell that you're so damn innocent but you are a hottie, seriously cute and I bet in high school there was plenty of guys who would have been interested, and there would be more now."

Ichigo shrugged. "I don't know, I've never looked at someone and thought, 'God I want in their pants'. Well up until three weeks ago anyway. And my two best gay friends are together that doesn't help. One of them finds it very amusing that I'm a damn virgin, dressing me up like an angel because, apparently, you need to have sinned to go to hell."

"If you hadn't been all decked out in white I probably wouldn't have seen you from up there. You'll have to introduce me so I can thank him. And, Babe, I can help you with that pesky virginity at any time, just give me the word."

Ichigo snorted, giving his tea a swirl to see how much was left. He downed the rest, only leaving dregs to avoid the leaves. "When I introduce you to Yumi and Ikkaku one will be giving you advice for the best way for you to do just that while the other one threatens you if you try."

Grimmjow just laughed as he finished his coffee. "Fancy a walk? We can just wander for a while?"

Ichigo agreed, wiping his mouth and hands with his serviette before standing. He slung his grey coat on before heading out in front of Grimmjow. Grimmjow held the door slightly, being courteous but not overly cheesy which Ichigo appreciated but he did not expect Grimmjow to take his hand and want to be so connected with him in public.

"Don't look so shocked, I am your boyfriend am I not?"

Chapter 2 and they're boyfriends, isn't this all going nicely... hehehe
