Chapter 8

Nel's eyes fluttered open and suddenly she was overwhelmed the mass of skin that was Nnoitra embracing her tightly, squeezing the air from her. As she wrapped her arms wround his torso she began to sob, burying her head into his hard chest and allowing him to hold her and comfort her, he stroked her long green hair soothingly as he whispered soothing noises into her ear, after a while she had managed to clam her sobbing down to silent tears which Nnoitra wiped away with his thumb, cupping her face upwards so she was looking dierctly into his beautiful, slanted, icy eyes she loved so much. "What's wrong Nel" he asked softly, moving his hands to circle her waist, pulling her body closer to his, she looked up at him and sniffled before she answered "I thought I'd left you again" she said gently. Nnoitra's heart seemed to be fluttering as she spoke and a small, chaste smile graced his thin lips, he cupped her face again, stroking her cheek rhythmically, "so did I" he said to her before pulling on her waist untill their noses were touching, Nel gasped softly before her lips were cut off as Nnoitra leant down slowly and claimd her lips in a desperate and passionate kiss that made the both of them lightheaded and craving more. Nel was shicked at first but after a few seconds she responded, moving her lips in sync with his like a perfect melody, after a while Nnoitra's long tongue grazed her bottom lip and she happily granted him entrance. Nel wound ehr hands tightly into Nnoitra's hair, his hands were still wrapped tighly wound round her waist, rubbing up her spine and making her shiver from the pleasure of his cool hands upon her body. After a while they both pulled back, out of breath and flusged, their hands remained in the same place as Nnoitra leant his forehead against Nel's smiling a wild, happy smile. Nel smiled back and pushed a few strands of loose hair from his face "I love you Nnoitra" she whispered against his lips as this time she claimed his lips with a fierce hunger and passion that drove Nnoitra wild, after they had broken again- even more flushed and out of breath Nnoitraleant down to whisper in her ear "I love you". And with that they sahred another kiss, embracing in the sand, for they had all the time in the world and that time they would spend togther.

Epilogue

It's been exactly 17 months since Aizen was defeated and the last of the remaining Espada had all gone their separate ways, all except Nel and Nnoitra, they stood on the gates of the Las Noches lloking out into the vast desert of hueco mundo with pity- Aizen had built this place up for greatnness and it had all collapsed when he needed it most, most of his espada were dead and the rest had left him, his palace and his dreams had been smashed and now he was left on his own to die, his so called 'children' couldn't care less what happened to him. "Oh, Nnoitra where are we going to go now?" she asked sadly, turning round to look him in the face, a look of hopelessness in her brilliant hazel orbs, Nnoitra stepped towards her and gathered her into a tight and comforting embrace, turning them both back round to stare at the empty desert again, his chin resting on the top of her head as his hands snaked around her waist. "I don't know" he said exasperatedly, trying to think of places where they would be welcome- but coming up short. Nel squirmed in is hold, turning round to face him again, "Nnoitra, promise me something" she asked nervously, pulling her hair in front of her face, only to have it swept back again by Nnoitra "what" he asked softly, she looked up at him with those big, beautiful eyes, her hand moved to her stomach as she spoke "you'll stay with me" she looked down at her stomach again and instantly Nnoitra understood. His heart flutetred and soared in his chest, his body began shaking with shock and joy and he too put his hands on Nel's stomach, he looked up into her eyes "always" he said before pullingher into one of the best kisses of her life. They had the rest of eternity togther and to them- that sounded like pure heaven.
