Chapter 9: Positions-Far too Many

Ulquiorra was still cradling Orihime in his arms. His arm rested on the pillow and her head rested on his arm. She was laying on her back as Ulquiorra laid next to her with his other arm going beneath her legs in a cradle position.

"W-What do you mean?" she mumbled.

"Look at what we're wearing." Ulquiorra pointed out

She looked down and saw she was wearing her arrancar uniform which made her gasp and then quickly looked up at Ulquiorra with widened eyes to see him wearing his arrancar uniform along with his hollow mask and he had his hollow hole.

Ulquiorra stared deeply into her eyes, which caused her to shiver, but then she looked down to see her hands in the worst condition ever. She saw one of her hands were latched onto his uniform zipper which seemed to have zipped down at least a foot because his chest was revealed while her other hand was placed on his chest.

After about a minute of examining what her hands unintentionally did, she snatched them away. She rested her hands on her stomach and bit her lower lip. She began to sweat and started blushing until she had a feeling. So she sat up, still Ulquiorra's eyes following her, skooched herself off the bed and walked out.

Ulquiorra allowed her to be free from his clutches since she answered his question but still jumped off the bed and followed after her. When she was only 5 feet from her bedroom door, Ulquiorra snatched her hand and asked, "Where are you going?"

She turned around with an annoyed expression, "I haven't eaten all day because of you with your little act, and I'm starving." She exclaimed whiling pulling her hand away. He only smiled at her reaction.

Ulquiorra sat down at her small circular dining table and watched as she rustled through the kitchen.

"You want anything?" Orihime asked. In response Ulquiorra waved his hand off and said, "I'm good."

Orihime brought her bowl of mashed potatoes with cottage cheese to the table. Ulquiorra glanced at it with a raised eyebrow and watched as Orihime took her first bite with a huge smile splashed on her face.

She continued to eat until she realized something. "You know, I've never seen you eat anything." She said as she gazed across the table to Ulquiorra.

"Why would it matter?" stated Ulquiorra as his elbow leaned on the table with his cheek in his hand.

"I want to see how you eat!" Orihime pouted. "I'll get you a bowl too." Like that she jumped from her seat and prepared another bowl for Ulquiorra.

She set the hot plate of mashed potatoes with cold cottage cheese on top on the table and handed him the spoon, then hurried back to her seat to watch him eat for the first time ever.

Ulquiorra stared at the food for about a minute, until he slowly plopped the spoon in the bowl. He then brought it to his mouth, eyes closed, and placed the spoon in his mouth. Ulquiorra slowly chewed trying to distinguish the tastes. When he swallowed, he opened his eyes to find an Orihime across from him all gitty staring at him.

"What?" he asked.

"You look so cute when you eat!" she exclaimed trying to control herself.

He only raised an eyebrow.

"You don't have to eat it, not many people like my tastes, so I'm not forcing you."

"That's ok, it's quite delicious." Ulquiorra stated while taking another bite.

----------

"Where the hell are we going?!" grumbled Grimmjow.

"No one forced you to come!" replied Ichigo.

Grimmjow was walking alongside Ichigo wearing dark jeans, blue T Shirt and white jacket with his hands in his pockets. Ichigo was wearing dark jeans that were a bit tighter and a white T Shirt with Japanese writing.

"There's nothing else to do."

Ichigo laughed again.

"What's so god dam funny?!" yelled Grimmjow.

Ichigo didn't bother to answer. "Fine, where are we going?" asked Grimmjow. Ichigo still didn't answer. Instead, the two walked in silence.

After their odd meal, Orihime and Ulquiorra were plopped on the couch watching a movie still in their arrancar uniform, Ulquiorra sat in the middle with his feet on the couch and legs separated. In between his legs sat Orihime, who was cuddled by him as his hands wrapped around her beneath her breasts and she laying on his chest.

Every now and than, he would squeeze her tighter and bring her closer. After about 20 minutes of this cycle, Ulquiorra grabbed the remote and shut off the TV.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Orihime asked in a whiny voice but was responded with Ulquiorra's head digging into her hair and back. The sudden contact made her gasp.

"W-What are you doing?" she asked.

"I can't hold it in anymore." he stated

"Huh?"

"Holding in my emotions that I am still trying to get used to is hurting me. So I am not going to hold them in anymore." said Ulquiorra, who then took in the scent of her hair.

Orihime rested her hands on his hands that were still wrapped around her and said, "What are you talking about?"

Then in the blink of an eye they were in totally different positions. Orihime was laying on her back. She looked up to see Ulquiorra, his legs were on both sides of her body, his arms were leaning beside both sides of her chest, and the rest of his cape was on her legs.

Ulquiorra stared deeply into her eyes and said with his usual emotionless expression, "I love you, Orihime."

Orihime's eyes widened and her body stiffened, "w-wh-what?" she whispered.

Ulquiorra didn't say anything, instead he slowly leaned his face towards hers. Orihime thought she knew what was coming and shut her eyes tight. After about a minute of having her eyes closed, nothing happened. So she opened her eyes and gasped. They were once again in a different position.

Ulquiorra was now on the bottom, and she was laying on top of him. Her head on his chest and hands besides her head, his legs were separated, which caused Orihime's legs to go in between his.

She turned her head over to see Ulquiorra who was staring right back at her. He then placed his arms around Orihime, which caused her to widen her eyes.

"Why are you so scared? I'm not going to hurt you." Stated Ulquiorra

She felt it coming, all her emotions were coming out. Orihime clasped onto his uniform and started sobbing.
"I-I'm not scared of you!" she muttered through her tears.

This scene felt all too familiar to her, like the day when Ulquiorra gave up his life so she can be free."

They continued cuddling and hugging each other all through out the day until-
