Heart-Wound
"So you think Yukina is your real name?" Grimmjow wondered as they walked into his room.
"I don't know what else it could be," Aiko said as she sat down on her side of the bed.
Grimmjow just watched her sit there. When they first met he was angry about something that had nothing to do with her. As a result he used her as an outlet. Afterwards he felt so guilty that he never touched her again.
Instead he began talking to her. Once he started doing that he started to see a dwindling spark in Aiko...He began to...He began to care about her. He sighed and sat down on the bed. "Aiko," He said which made her look at him in shock. He reached his hand out to her. She looked at his hand then at him nervously. "It's ok," He told her, "I'm not gonna hurt you."
Aiko took his hand and let him gently lead her over to him so she was straddling his lap. He looked up into her solid brown eyes to see her crying. He pulled her into a hug. Aiko hugged him tightly as she could. "Grimmjow-sama..." She shuddered against him.
"C'mon, talk to me," He whispered into her ear.
Aiko pulled back and looked at him with the saddest eyes Grimmjow had ever seen. "I wish I could be an Arrancar too," She told him.
"Why would you wish something so stupid like that?" Grimmjow arched a brow at her.
More tears began to flow down her cheeks. "So you would have a reason to love me," She looked Grimmjow in the eye. A hot blush of embarrassment covered her face when he just looked at her shocked. Aiko bowed her head.
Grimmjow made her look at him. "First," He said softly, "I don't want to see you cry anymore," He gently wiped away her tears, "You understand me?"
Aiko nodded with a sniffle, "Yes sir."
"Secondly, don't wish something like that," He told her, "You don't want to be a monster." Aiko looked at him. "Thirdly," He tenderly caressed her cheek and smirked at her, "I rather see you smile." Aiko smiled softly at him. Grimmjow smirked approvingly at her, "That's my girl." She giggled lightly as he kissed her forehead. He gently laid down with her and held her to him, "Go to sleep."
Aiko wrapped her arms around him as she leaned into his chest, "Please, stay with me."
"I will," Grimmjow petted her hair. "Lastly," He said. Aiko looked at him. "You don't have to be afraid of me," He told her as he gently pressed his lips against hers. Aiko kissed him back then slowly fell asleep.
