Okay so I know it's been a while but I've been busy (and sick) and just a heads up, I won't be posting anything till Wednesday because I'm going on a family vacation. Plus, might as well let you all know, I'm a Muslim and this is the holy month of Ramazan where we fast so basically we don't eat all day hence why I've been so tired and lazy in posting chapters. After Wednesday it'll all be over and I try posting chappies regularly once more! There are only three chappies left I think...

Grimmjow quickly sat up in his bed when he heard a knock on his bedroom door. He quickly tried to scrub his face clean and wipe away any traces of the tears that had previously been streaming down his face in rivulets.

'C-Come in,' he called out thickly, frowning at how horrible he sounded. His heart did a weak backflip when he saw who walked in. His shoulders slumped. He'd been expected someone else. 'Hello, Onkel.'

'You weren't expecting me, were you?' Onkel Gin sighed and quietly shut the door before walking up to Grimmjow. The boy lowered his gaze and involuntarily gave a loud sniff.

'No.' His voice cracked that time.

Heaving another heavy sigh, Onkel Gin sank down onto the bed next to Grimmjow. He began to comb his fingers through the blue hair and hummed a merry tune.

'Your boyfriend isn't very nice,' he remarked patently. Grimmjow suddenly rounded on his Onkel with a fierce glare.

'You don't know Ichigo,' he hissed. Gin raised an eyebrow in mild surprise.

'Oh,' he mused. 'I see how it is. He's that kind of lover, is he?'

'What?'

Gin tilted his head as if in pity.

'The kind who demands a bit too much without any regard of your feelings,' he answered softly.

'NO!'

Grimmjow jumped to his feet in shock. How could his Onkel even think like that after everything Grimmjow had told him about Ichigo? Ichigo was kind. He was gentle, he was loving, he was nurturing, and he was…undeserving of the shit Grimmjow was putting him through.

'Onkel, I'm done,' he murmured, clenching his hands into fists and staring intensely at the polished brown shoes on Gin's feet. 'I…I don't want to do this anymore.'

'Do what, Grimmjow?' Why did his Onkel's voice suddenly sound so stressed?

'Us!' Grimmjow cried out in anguish, forcing himself to look at his emotionless Onkel. ' I'm…I'm sorry! If it looked like I used you I'm sorry! I never meant to! I just…God, I just love Ichigo to pieces and seeing him hurt today just made me realize how I hate to do that to him! He doesn't deserve it. He's a good person who has done so much to help me move on with my life! And you have to! But he's my boyfriend. And you're family. Thank you for always being there for me but…I don't love you like that. The only person who can take that place…is Ichigo.'

Grimmjow felt so sappy and vulnerable and stupid right now. But who ever said the truth made you feel warm and fuzzy? You had to do it sometimes. It was time to take the leap in the right direction. And, surprisingly enough, Grimmjow felt a huge weight lift off his chest after spilling everything out. It was actually a…relief.

'I see.'

Grimmjow was suddenly brought down from his euphoria of finally coming clean. He blinked in confusion as he gazed at his Onkel. Gin had yet to show any emotion or any reaction. He just leaned back on Grimmjow's bed with his elbows, gazing at the boy as he ranted his heart out. Once Grimmjow was done, he glanced at his nails and hopped to his feet, smoothing out any crease on his outfit. He looked up, his trademark smirk in place.

'Good for you, Grimmjow. You finally grew up,' he commented. The air felt tense and uncomfortable. Grimmjow resisted the urge to squirm in discomfort. 'I hope you have a happy life.'

But he didn't move towards the door to leave. Normally, a person would leave after a heartless sentence like that. Instead, Gin stalked closer, his smirk never wavering.

Grimmjow felt his body tremble, his heart painfully jumping into his throat. He couldn't say anything. Not even scream. And horrifyingly enough, he was fucking scared. Because this very situation was reminding him of those days when he had been Aizen's little pet.

'Onkel-!' he choked out before the silvery-haired man grabbed his face and smashed their lips together.

Grimmjow instantly jerked back, trying to escape. His eyes widened and his heartbeat escalated. He tried to scream but Gin swallowed that completely, pushing Grimmjow back until he was against a wall, utterly trapped and unable to escape.

He weakly shoved at the taller man's chest, his eyes pleading for his Onkel to stop what he was doing. This was insane. He didn't want this. He was being used again. He was being forced to do things that he shouldn't be doing. He was someone's fuck toy again.

That last thought caused panic to well up inside Grimmjow. His throat swelled, blocking his breathing. His skin felt clammy and his entire frame shook violently. Gin gripped his arms, pinning him to the wall. That's when he noticed how much the poor boy was shaking. He pulled away suddenly, lips parted as he breathed harshly, his face twisted to one of surprise and concern. Grimmjow whined pitifully, unable to control the tears spilling over.

'Grimmjow…' Gin murmured in shock, a hand reaching out to stroke a tear streaked cheek.

'Oh my God…' a voice gasped from the bedroom door. Both men turned to face it and their jaws fell.

Shit.

'Ichigo!'

Ichigo kept walking, feeling his anger burn and boil away inside him. He heard the thudding of footsteps behind him and someone panting hard to keep up with him. He hoped they would just give up. Because he didn't want them. He'd been expecting someone else.

'Ichigo!'

This one was closer and he felt a hand yank him back to face his pursuer. He scowled into Renji's flushed face as the poor redhead tried to catch his breath.

'What?' Ichigo snapped, literally controlling himself before he punched Renji in the face. It wasn't his fault but Ichigo was just pissed as hell.

'Don't what me!' Renji gasped. He stood up straight, still breathing hard as he spoke, scowling just as angrily as Ichigo. 'Did you know how fucking rude that was, walking out like that? At least I stayed back and apologized to Grimmjow's mom! And, dude, did you have to be that heartless to the poor guy? I mean, it was my fault for thinking that Shinji liked him-!'

'It's not your fault!' Ichigo shouted, throwing his hands in the air. Renji watched him, stunned. 'It's not Shinji's fault, it's not Grimmjow's fault, it's not his Onkel's fault, it's my fucking fault! Got it?'

'Ichi…'

'Renji, please!' Ichigo covered his eyes with both hands, breathing erratically. 'I just felt…so fucking embarrassed back there. I didn't know what to say or how to act. I felt like I had let Grimmjow down. I don't even know if I'll be able to face him again…'

'You can!' Renji said fiercely, forcing his best friend to look into his determined eyes. 'Dude, Grimmjow is crazy about you and he's not going to let some stupid fight get in the way! And you shouldn't either! All couples fight! It's not healthy but it happens! You just need to be strong enough to brave it through and smile! You can't do this alone and neither can Grimmjow!'

Taking a deep breath, Renji cracked a smile, hoping to change Ichigo's mind.

'So what do you say, huh, buddy?' he asked hopefully.

Ichigo looked at him mournfully, his eyes glazed with pain. He knew Renji was trying to help and he was doing a great job. He really felt like walking away but somehow, his body refused to move away. Instead, he took one glance at Grimmjow's house, which was just around the corner, and began to walk quickly towards it, his eyes never leaving the building. He heard Renji whisper a happy 'Yes!' behind him and he actually smiled. He was running to Grimmjow's house now. He couldn't wait to see his lover's face and kiss away any hurt he might have caused the bluenette.

'Ichi-?' Shinji said in surprise as Ichigo barged in, looking around frantically.

'Where's Grimmjow?' Ichigo demanded, still trying to find that shade of blue he fell in love with.

'He's…upstairs. But I don't think you should-'

'Thanks, Shinji.'

And he was off, his heart beating wildly in his ears. He couldn't hear Shinji shouting at him to come back. He couldn't hear the odd scuffling inside Grimmjow's room. And he couldn't hear the squawk of surprise that floated from the same room. But he could see. And what he saw made his eyes widen in horror, his throat to dry up and his heart to shatter.

'Oh my God…' he whispered in horror, unable to believe the sight before him. He didn't wait for the two people in the room to react to his unexpected presence. He just whirled around and began running down the stairs, his entire frame burning with hurt and rage.

Grimmjow was kissing Gin. Gin was kissing Grimmjow. Grimmjow was pressed up against a wall with Gin hovering over him. Gin had pressed Grimmjow up against a wall and was kissing him.

'Ichigo! Please! Wait up!' a voice pleaded.

Ichigo suddenly felt his rage rear up like an ugly monster within him. He stopped in the middle of the living room, hands clenched into tight fists. He ground his teeth in frustration. Why the fuck was he still talking to him?

'Ichigo! Will you…can you-?' Grimmjow begged, hand grazing Ichigo's shoulder. Ichigo jerked away, as if Grimmjow's touch was burning him like acid. He turned around, livid. Grimmjow looked shocked. He had probably never seen Ichigo this angry. Ichigo didn't even remember being this angry.

'What the fuck, Grimmjow?' Ichigo growled. Grimmjow looked away, guilt screaming from his body language. Ichigo felt like screaming for real. His voice rose in volume. 'What the bloody fuck, Grimmjow?'

'Calm down, Ichigo,' Grimmjow murmured in a low tone. Now Ichigo lost it. His eyes bulged.

'Calm down?' he repeated incredulously. Grimmjow flinched. Good. 'Calm down? How the fuck am I supposed to calm down after seeing another guy stick his fucking tongue down my boyfriend's throat? You tell me! Has it happened to you? Is there a set of instruction on how to calm the fuck down after you find out your boyfriend is cheating on you with his fucking uncle?'

'It's not like that!' Grimmjow argued indignantly, but his tone showed he didn't even believe himself. He was shaking, perhaps from anger as well. 'He was just…he's my Onkel, Ichigo!'

'Oh, and that just happens to make it all better?'

'No, it doesn't! I was not expecting him to do that! You have to believe me, Ichigo!'

'I'm done doing that, Grimmjow! I am sick and tired of expecting loyalty when clearly I never had privilege to it to begin with! Were you leading me on all this time you were in Germany?'

'No, I wasn't -!'

'Don't lie to me, Grimmjow!'

'ALRIGHT!' Grimmjow was yelling back too except he had tears in his eyes. 'Yes, I've been cheating on you! Yes, I've been doing it with my Onkel and yes, I do have feelings for him but not the way I have feelings for you, Ichigo! Fucking hell, I love you! I would never do anything to hurt you so badly! I promise you we never had sex because I just couldn't bring myself to do that to you! You gotta believe me when I say I always felt guilty and wanted to break it off but it was always so hard! Please, Ichigo, you gotta believe me! I wouldn't lie to you about something like this!'

Ichigo's mouth felt dry and he felt drained. He had nothing left to say. His mind was a blank and his heart felt empty. He was done arguing about this. This was all pointless. Perhaps it had been pointless to begin with.

'You did lie to me, Grimmjow,' Ichigo rasped, his eyes regarding the poor bluenette with pity and coldness. 'You lied every step of the way. I don't know what I should believe anymore. I don't think I want to try.'

He was suddenly aware of how quiet everything was in the room, despite Renji, Shinji and even Gin being present. Perhaps Grimmjow's mom and Nel were upstairs but they didn't dare come down after that emotional blast. Ichigo was actually glad. He wouldn't know how to face the darling woman. Pity she had a son like Grimmjow.

Ichigo looked coldly at Gin who looked back without even a hint of his smile.

'I hope you're happy,' Ichigo remarked curtly. 'I'm no longer in your hair and never will be.'

He now turned to Renji, who just gave him a sorry look. Ichigo just shrugged and walked out. As soon as he was a block away, he felt tears roll down his eyes. He hastily tried to wipe them away, hoping he could hide them all the way back to the hotel.

'Ichigo…'

Without even meaning to, Ichigo turned around to look at Renji. They didn't say a word. Renji's eyebrows slanted ruefully as he watched the fat tears sliding down his best friend's face. He quickly walked up to Ichigo to pull him into a tight but comforting hug. After a while, Ichigo returned it.

He didn't shudder or sob violently. He just cried silent tears till they soaked an entire patch on Renji's shoulder. And Renji let him. He didn't say anything either. Ichigo was glad.

Well...that escalated rather quickly...

I apologize if it seems rushed though :/
