A/N: So I totally thought I was done with this story, and I am…..but I figured it would be more efficient that I simply put all my GrimmIchi and UlquiHime oneshots here right next to my longest one yet (And keep in mind, that means none of them have any connection with the others, they are all in different worlds unless I change it). So with that being said, this story has now expanded to be a oneshot collection of UlquiHime and GrimmIchi fics. Many will be based off songs and I will tell you what they are in the author's note but I will not mention them afterwards. I just want readers to know where all my inspiration came from. Also, I will leave the rating at M, but ratings will vary by story and I will also tell you the rating and warnings for a chapter in the author's note along with my inspiration, oh, and the main pairing of the story, UlquiHime, GrimmIchi, or sometimes both…and okay, I think that's all. I'll update at my leisure as fics pop into my head, but I've already got three or four lined up here and they'll be coming rapid fire, so keep your heads up! Now on with the next story!

Title: Pocketful of Sunshine

Pairing: UlquiHime

Rating/Warnings: T for bits of fluff and a kiss. High school AU.

Inspiration: Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield. And the anime Kannazuki no Miko…just a bit.

Pocketful of Sunshine

Orihime Inoue yawned loudly as the bell rang signaling it was now lunchtime.

Picking her bag up off the floor, she placed it on her shoulder and exited the room, a bounce in her step. Not only was it an absolutely beautiful day out, with the sun shining as bright as ever, but Orihime Inoue had a date…..okay, not a date date, but a lunch date with her boyfriend, Ulquiorra Schiffer.

"I wonder if he'll like what I made today." She pondered to herself, glancing down into her bag as it swung at her hip. Surely he'll like omelets with hot fudge sauce and wasabi!" She said merrily, making her way to his classroom where they met for lunch whenever it was possible.

As she hummed contentedly to herself, she saw several girls run by her, clearly in a rush.

"Did you hear? That new girl just asked the class emo out!" One of the girls said excitedly. "Oh yeah? What's her name again….Loly?" Another girl asked.

The first one nodded her head vigorously. "Apparently when she tried to throw herself at him, he pushed her down before she could even get close…what a jerk!" The first one muttered.

Orihime felt her heart fall at the girl's words, knowing full well that Ulquiorra was known as the class 'emo' that didn't like getting close to others, at all.

Sure he wore dark clothes…and was kinda pale…and tended to paint his nails black (Which Orihime admits she had helped him with a few times) and he spoke in a monotone….but Orihime didn't think that classified the boy as emo.

He didn't do self destructive things like cut himself and he didn't do any drugs of any kind. He rarely drank alcohol and believe it or not, the guy was still a virgin. He was the cleanest guys and one of the nicest you could ever meet, as long as you could stand him that was.

He did have a tendency to be rather dull when he spoke, his monotone only contributing to that issue, and one had to have patience when listening to him. He did have a tendency to get violent, but this was rare and only when he was really upset.

Aside from those small things, Orihime thought he was an excellent person, so the things these girls said confused the female red head a bit as she had never known Ulquiorra to be….so rude.

Quickening her pace, Orihime soon stood outside her boyfriend's classroom which had already attracted a small group of people, including the two girls Orihime had seen before.

Squeezing her way through the crowd, she eventually made her way into the classroom where she saw her pale boyfriend Ulquiorra standing at the front of the room, his usual emotionless mask on his face.

She heard a soft sniffing and turned to see it coming from girl about her age with her dark hair up in pigtails. Close to her was another girl with short blonde hair, she seemed to be trying to calm the other down.

"What happened here?" Orihime asked loudly commanding the attention of the three in front of her. The blonde girl looked up and glared at her and the dark haired one gave her a disdainful glance, wiping several tears away.

Ulquiorra turned his whole body to her and Orihime would have sworn she saw him smile a bit, something he would never do in front of anyone but her.

"Oh good, you're here woman, shall we go eat?" The pale man asked, walking forward and taking her bag. "Wait a minute Ulquiorra, just what happened here?" Orihime asked, placing a hand on his chest, stopping him. "Oh, you mean her? The girl just walked up to me after class, professing her love for me and then she tried to throw herself at me and I simply pushed her away since I already have a girlfriend, it's no big deal really." He said in his usual monotone.

Orihime gave him an angry look. "Yes, it is a big deal. You clearly upset her and while I appreciate the gesture, I wouldn't have terribly minded if you had just let her hug you and then turned her down gently afterward, but you just had to go and push her away, didn't you? " The red haired woman said loudly, waving her arms in the air.

The pale man stared at her, not knowing what to say at the prospect of possibly upsetting her further.

"I know you're not exactly the most social person in the world Ulquiorra, but what you did was just plain rude." Orihime said, giving him a harsh stare in return.

"So you apologize, and you be sincere….or no food for you. Lunch is off, capiche?" She asked. He stared at her and nodded once.

"Fine." He turned to the dark haired girl who was now standing upright, whispering quietly to her blonde friend, who was nodding. "I apologize for my actions, I was quite rude but it was my fault for not telling you I had a girlfriend. I'm sorry." He said loud enough for her and Orihime to hear. Orihime rolled her eyes at the all too apparent lack of emotion in his voice, but she figured it would do.

The dark haired girl glared but made one swift nodding motion with her head. "Fine…whatever, just don't talk to me again, ever." She said snappishly.

"Let's go Menoly." She murmured as she exited the classroom which was slowly emptying, her blonde friend in tow.

"See, now didn't it feel good to apologize?" Orihime asked Ulquiorra who had bent down ever so slightly to kiss her cheek, making her blush.

"Sure, whatever you say." He said in reply, taking her hand in his free one. "Food now?" He asked. She nodded. "Yup! To the usual place? No one ever finds us there." She suggested and he nodded quickly. "As you wish." The two made their way from the just about empty classroom into the hall.

As they walked along, Orihime couldn't help but feel quite pleased with herself. It was difficult to get Ulquiorra to say words like 'Sorry' or 'Thank You' or 'Please, and when she asked him to say them he would more than often refuse and she would more than often not pursue the subject cause if she did, it would take too long to make him say what she wanted to hear and by then it had lost all meaning.

But he had submitted so quickly in the classroom, which made her happy….although she was sure the prospect of food and the fact they had been surrounded by people may have had something to do it.

The two walked along in comfortable silence, enjoying each other's company and soon they had exited the school building and made a sharp left turn as they did so.

The two walked along, Orihime looking over her shoulder every once in awhile to make sure they were not being followed. Using his super sixth sense, Ulquiorra turned to her every time she did this and whispered to her. "Do not worry, there is no one following us." She had no idea how he could detect the presence of people so easily, but she did have to admit, it came in handy sometimes.

They soon reached their destination, both turning to a seemingly solid green mass of trees, overgrown grass and bushes, interwoven in a large black gate.

"Ladies first." Ulquiorra said quietly, motioning her to the green mass. She nodded, and released his hand, running full speed at the wall…but what seemed to be a wall was not a wall at all,

just a bunch of greenery obstructing the entrance to a small courtyard. As she burst through to the other side, Orihime felt herself smile a bit as she looked around. This courtyard was just as green and bright and unchanging as ever.

She heard Ulquiorra come up behind her and soon felt a hand running through her hair. "You have some sticks and leaves caught in your hair." He said quietly, picking out said greenery. She nodded and allowed him to finish his work before she turned to him, noticing he had the same issue. "Bend down just a bit, you have some stuff caught in your hair as well." She said smiling warmly.

He did so as she reached up to untangle a small stick from his shaggy black hair. Once she was finished, she ran her hands through his hair a few more times; loving how clean and soft it felt.

"Are you done yet?" He asked and she retracted hr hands immediately. "Yes sorry, I just like your hair today. It's soft and…..it smells nice." She said quietly, blushing ever so slightly.

She saw him smile for a brief second before his face regained its usual bored look. "I am glad you like it." He said, handing her bag. She took it with a smile on her face. Going to find a nice sunny, grassy spot, she grabbed a sheet of some kind out of her bag and laid it down on the ground.

As she took several containers out of said bag, Ulquiorra, not waiting for an invitation, sat and took to staring at her as she unloaded her bag.

Once she noticed him, she immediately started blushing again and she quickly sat, trying to cover her face with the food containers. "Why are you staring?" She asked shyly,slowly setting the containers down. "The way the sun hits your skin and hair makes you simply glow, it's a sight to behold." Ulquiorra said as warmly as he could muster, but it only came out as a very weak grin. He saw her blush darken.

"I see….well, umm….you look nice today too." She said happily, as she looked him over. He hardly looked different than he did on any other school day during the spring semester.

A white button down T-shirt with a tie, dark slacks, and dark leather shoes, this was his normal uniform alright. But there was something about him a bit more appealing today than usual.

Was it the way the sun hit him just right and made his incredibly pale skin glow like hers was? Was it that grin that he tried to pull off a few seconds ago? Was it the more than usual messiness of his dark black hair after running through the bushes? Or could it of been what happened earlier? The way he had pushed that girl away, not wanting any woman to touch him or get close to him….except for her.

Orihime thought some part of her was actually pleased at the actions he had taken earlier after class, happy that he was so dedicated to her he was willing to push away others so as not to betray her.

"You wanna eat or not?" His voice brought her back to reality and she nodded. "Yeah, let's, today's special is omelets with fudge sauce and wasabi." She said proudly, opening her containers to reveal on with 3 or 4 omelets in it, one with wasabi paste, and another with a dark chocolate sauce.

Ulquiorra shook his head.

"You really do cook the weirdest things you know." He said, taking the fork and plate she offered him. Picking out an omelet, he covered it with a bit of the chocolate and put a little wasabi on the side.

She did the same, except she took a bit more sauce and wasabi. Using his fork to cut through the egg, he placed the fluffy yellow substance in his mouth and chewed.

It really wasn't that bad, not as bad as some other things she had made, so he ate it with no complaint. They ate in blissful silence for a few minutes as Orihime downed her first omelet and already had another on her plate.

Finishing his own omelet, Ulquiorra took the water bottle she had handed to him a bit earlier and took a sip, waiting for her to finish.

"How was it? You ate it all…so I'm guessing you liked it….yeah?" She asked, setting her plate down and taking a sip from her own water bottle. He nodded. "It was….different…but good." He replied. She smiled. "I'm glad….well….." She looked down at her watch.

"We still have a half hour or so until class starts again…..wanna just stick around here for a bit?" She asked shyly, as Ulquiorra helped her repack her bag. "I would like that very much." He responded as Orihime set the bag off to the side.

Ulquiorra laid back on the sheet, putting his hands up behind his head. He felt the sun hit him with its full force, but it actually wasn't that hot, pretty moderate actually.

He felt the woman lay down next to him and soon she was snuggled up to him, intertwining her legs with his and placing her arms around his neck. He smiled to himself at her show of affection, and he moved his arms down so he could hold her waist and bring her closer to him.

He heard her breathe deeply, and then she spoke. "The sun really is nice today isn't it?" She asked, her eyes closed, a serene smile on her face. "It is." The dark haired man responded as she pressed herself even closer to him. They were quiet again as the birds chirped somewhere above them.

In the serenity of the moment, Orihime whispered one more thing that Ulquiorra was unable to catch. "You're my pocketful of sunshine….Ulquiorra." She said as quiet as a mouse. Glancing down when he heard his name, he saw the woman had opened her eyes and was looking up at him expectantly.

"Kiss me?" she asked, blushing as she did so. Ulquiorra nodded in compliance, moving down so that their faces were level.

"As you wish." He whispered, slowly closing the already small gap between their lips. Orihime felt her eyes flutter shut as his cool lips pressed upon hers.

They stayed that way for a minute until Ulquiorra leisurely allowed his tongue to sneak out of his mouth, lightly pressing it against her still closed lips.

As soon as she felt his tongue press against her mouth, she parted her lips ever so slightly, allowing him access and she giggled as she felt his tongue tickle the inside of her lips, running it along her lower gum line. From her quick submission, Ulquiorra knew he was at perfect liberty to take charge this time.

Gently whipping his tongue upward, he ran it along her upper gum line this time, making her shiver slightly from the pleasurable feeling.

You wouldn't know from the sight of him, but Ulquiorra really was a good kisser.

He ran his tongue a few more times along her gums and teeth making her shiver more than she thought she would and then, in his final act, he lightly pressed the tip of his tongue to hers, sending a shock of pleasure and desire through both person's bodies.

He heard her moan ever so quietly as she recoiled from the initial shock and he figured now was a good time to end it.

He broke away, closing his mouth as he did so and bringing his forearm up, he wiped away an extra bit of saliva that was dripping down his chin.

She closed her own mouth and opened her eyes, smiling warmly as he reached over and wiped her mouth for her. "Thanks." She said, as he gently wiped at her skin.

He nodded, bringing his arms down to her hips again, taking hold of them and bringing her close to him again.

"You're my pocketful of sunshine…..Ulquiorra." She whispered so he could hear this time. He grinned slightly, feeling his own face blush a bit. But only a little bit.

"And you are mine." He replied. She nodded into his neck.

All was quiet again… until Orihime spoke. "What would you say if I suggested we just skip classes for the rest of the day and stay here a while longer?" She asked, looking up at him hopefully. Not wanting this moment to end either, he nodded in approval. "As you wish."

I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine, I got a love and I know that it's all mine oh, oh oh oh.
