A Word Unspoken, A Night Unforgettable

Ichigo sat on his bed waiting for a response from Grimmjow. After about ten minutes, he decided to just go see him in room 321.

"Hey Shuhei, I'm going to see Grimmjow. I'll be back in a while."

"Okay." the boy responded from the bathroom.

Ichigo walked out into the hallway and closed the door behind him. He immediately noticed a crowd a few doors down.

Wonder what that's about…

"Ichigo!" Senna called from the other end of the crowd when she saw him approach.

"Senna? What's going on?"

"I'm not sure All I do know-wait…" Senna got down on all fours and crawled through the crowd of legs in front of her, "Okay. All I know is there's been some shouting and a lot of movement coming from that room."

Ichigo stood on his toes to see over the crowd and saw the room number 321 sitting expectedly on the door.

"That's Grimmjow's room. Who could he be fighting with…?"

"Let's find out!" Senna grinned, pulling his arm and forcing herself through the crowd.

"Hey! Watch it!" a girl called.

"It's not even that serious." Somebody shouted after falling.

When they reached the door, they could heard shouting behind it. Ichigo turned the handle and abruptly opened it.

He was quite shocked to find Renji stomach down on the floor while Grimmjow sat on top of him. The most shocking part of the scene before him was the sock Grimmjow had shoved into Renji's mouth and held it in place with one hand. Renji would have been able to do something if his arms weren't being restricted by Grimmjow's other hand.

"What's going on here?"

"Is this some sort of masochist-sadist thing?" Senna gleamed eagerly. Every pair of eyes from the hallway and inside the room that could see her were now looking directly at her. "I-is nobody into that kind of thing…?"

"Grimm, get off of Renji." Ichigo commanded, turning his attention away from Senna.

When Grimmjow shifted his weight to stand, Renji jumped to his feet and knocked the bluenette backwards. Grimmjow fell to the floor with a thud and cursed audibly.

Renji ripped the sock from his mouth and threw it directly in Grimmjow's face. "You asshole! He stuck his dirty sock in my mouth!"

Ichigo and Senna snickered, causing Renji's face to become almost as red as his hair. He hurried over to them, grabbed their wrists and then dragged them to the doorway. "Scram!" he yelled to what remained of the crowd in the hallway.

Ichigo pulled his arm out of Renji's grasp and walked over to Grimmjow. He gave him a quick hug and whispered in his ear, "I'll see you later, after I hang out with Renji and calm him down."

Grimmjow remained silent and watched his boyfriend walk out the door with that idiot redhead and annoying orange-eyed girl.

After the door closed, he flopped down on his bed and got out his phone. He had two new messages, one from Kurosaki and the other from Nnoitora. He opened Kurosaki's:

"I got Shuhei as a roommate. Wbu?"

He closed it and then opened Nnoitora's:

"Get ur ass up to room 511 right now. We're having room service and movies. Everybodys prolly gonna go out tomorrow."

Grimmjow grinned and put away his phone. He hadn't spent time with his own group of friends for quite a while. This was just what he needed. Well, besides some ass.


"Hmm! This silence is going to drive me crazy!" Senna said as they waited for the elevator to arrive.

"I think you already took that drive and made crazy your home." Renji commented.

"Ugh! It's you who's going to drive me there a hundred miles over the speed limit! You're such a pest!" she countered after harshly stomping her foot on the floor.

"What do you wanna do?" Renji asked Ichigo.

"Anything but this. I'll ask Rukia what she's up to." He responded, pulling out his phone.

Senna turned to Renji and smirked. "Jealous that he has Rukia's number?"

"You wish."

"Rukia, hey…What are you up to...Yea…No we're on the fourth floor…Who was that...Inoue…I thought so…Okay…I'll bring Senna and Renji…"

"What'd she say?" Renji asked.

"She wants us to get together in her room. Inoue is her roommate. Chad and Ishida got there a few minutes ago. Let's head on up."

As they made their way to room 612, Ichigo glanced at Renji wondering if he had still been upset about his confusion about his sexuality. To be honest, it was nothing to be afraid of. He should actually be excited to explore what satisfies his sexual appetite. There was no doubt in his mind that Renji was attracted to girls. His concern was about whether or not the guy was attracted to guys or just craving for attention.

Then again, he did pretty much cry when he told me so I don't think he's lying. Damn you Renji. Why couldn't you have felt this way before I met Grimmjow.

"Something wrong Ichigo?" Senna asked.

"Oh, no. I'm fine. Sorry I just spaced out for a second."

"612 right?" Renji asked as they walked out of the elevator.

"Yea."

Senna ran ahead and jumped in front of the door before knocking.

Inoue opened the door and smiled. "Hi Senna. How are you?"

"Just peachy. Thanks for having us over." She said before walking in.

"Hi Kurosaki-kun and Abarai-kun."

"Hey Inoue." Ichigo said.

"Hey" Renji uttered.

As soon as he saw Rukia on her bed, he ran and jumped on it right beside her.

"Renji, do you enjoy being abused?" Ishida asked.

"He must." Rukia commented, kicking him with her foot.

Ichigo took a seat on the floor and pulled out his phone again. He was hoping that maybe Grimmjow had texted him, but he didn't have any new messages.

I hope he's not still in that room…

"Before you all get too comfortable, do you want to go out and do something? I'd really like to go to some stores around here."

"Oh good idea! I love shopping!" Senna bounced.

"That sounds fun Kuchiki-san." Inoue smiled.

The three girls looked down to the guys and waited for a response.

"Why not?" Ishida said.

"Okay." Chad commented. He was never really one to argue, especially when it came to women.

When Ichigo gave his okay, Renji groaned.

"Seriously? Everybody wants to go?"

"You can stay if you like." Rukia offered.

"I'll go."

With that, everyone stood and headed for the door. Inoue and Rukia got their wallets and were the last ones to exit the room.

"Oh, the Snow Festival starts tomorrow. We should get some stuff for that too." Ishida commented.

"Good idea!" Inoue smiled.

It was too cold outside to walk. That became apparent the moment the door in the lobby opened. Rukia pulled out her phone and dialed the number for a taxi. Without hesitation, she paid and had them driven to the shopping centers in the city. She truly went overboard when it came to shopping.

After walking around the shopping centers for a while, Ichigo looked to Renji again and noticed he wasn't all over Rukia like he normally was. He actually hadn't been for quite a while since their talk. He pulled him slightly behind the group when they entered the next building so they could have a private chat.

"Renji, how've you been holding up?" he asked.

"I'm good as always. What's with the sudden need to get me alone? You gonna break up with Jaegerjaques and get with me?" he chuckled.

"No. I'm just wondering how you're doing. Have you had the chance to…you know…?"

"Oh nah. I can't think of anybody besides Yumichika who would actually be into that kind of thing."

"Why don't you want to get with him?"

"I don't know. He's just…not my type I guess."

"So you don't want the flamboyant guys huh?"

"Yea. I mean, I'm just getting into the whole idea of it. I don't wanna go throwing rainbow flags or cross-dressing. Maybe that's the reason so many straight guys are so afraid to even entertain the thought of being with another guy."

"They think they're automatically degraded or something. But who really cares? Most people have some sort of sexual contact with other people of the same sex at some point. The ones who are afraid to admit they liked it are the weak ones. It really takes strength to be gay. I actually admire Yumichika to be honest."

"You don't let it define you."

"Because it doesn't. Just because you're gay, or bisexual, doesn't mean you have to be overly feminine or like wear makeup. It is a part of you, but it isn't everything that you are. You really can't even tell with some people." Ichigo spoke more quietly to Renji to keep his secret, "Renji, I don't know what else to say but for you to do what makes you happy. If that's having sex with girls, or guys, then do it. I'll always be here to support you, and so will they." He motioned to their group of friends just ahead of them.

"Thanks Ichigo. Why can't more people be like you?"

"Don't say that. I hate that fucking question." he laughed, causing Renji to smile.

Even after all this time and all the confusion they've been through, they were still best friends. Something Ichigo appreciated more than he would admit.


"Do you love me?" the woman on the screen asked her lover.

"Of course I do baby." The man replied.

"Then kiss me." She pleaded.

At that, the couple pulled the covers over their forms and the camera panned to the curtains.

Grimmjow hated film noir. There weren't enough sex scenes in modern day films to satisfy him so all this implied shit had him bored out of his mind. Ulquiorra's choice of course. Go figure.

When the scene changed to morning, the screen lit up and Grimmjow's blue eyes glanced around the room. Halibel was lying on the opposite end of the bed. Nnoitora was slumped in the center in between them, making unnecessary commentary as the movie progressed. Ulquiorra sat in a recliner, fully seated up. Stark sat at the foot of the bed on the floor. Aaroniero was asleep on the floor not far from him. Yammy was stretched out on the couch trying to stay awake. Szayel wasn't even watching the movie; he sat at the computer desk on his laptop.

Social pariah.

"Do you love me?" Nnoitora joked, scooting closer to Grimmjow.

"Get away from me you asswipe."

"Is that what Kurosaki asked you when you first pounded his ass? Did he cry because you split him open so far no shit would ever need to be forced out again?" he laughed hysterically.

"Fuck you. Piano toothed, horse-faced cunt."

Despite his approach, Nnoitora did have a point. What would Kurosaki say when the time came? Would he be concerned about feelings? When Grimmjow lost his virginity, it was simply for pleasure. He never wanted strings attached. That just meant dead weight you had to carry around and occasionally fuck. Nothing freaky like necrophilia though.

He and Kurosaki were different.

Love to him was just another word. He knew he had good looks and his astonishing body. That was all he needed. He just wasn't interested in being with anyone for emotional ties. All he thought he needed was to get off and move on.

"I'm surprised I don't have some sort of STD." he inwardly laughed.

He was thirteen when he lost his virginity. It was a spur of the moment with some guy who had been sucking him off since they were eleven. Now he didn't even remember the guy's name. Ever since then, he'd just been having sex anytime he felt the want or need to. As of late, however, he had committed himself to Kurosaki only. He hadn't seen another dick besides his or his own and that was hard to get used to at first.

But if he was honest with himself, he liked the stability of a relationship. He liked knowing that there was always someone there for him. Most of all, he liked the idea that someone was his and only his before and after the sparks flew in the bedroom.

Someone to laugh with, or at most of the time. Someone to sleep with and let your drool cover an entire side of their face. Someone to hold for however long you want to. Someone who makes your heart beat ten times as fast not simply because they're taking your dick into their mouth, pussy, or ass. Someone like Kurosaki.

"Maybe…maybe that's not the only reason it's beating so fast…" Kurosaki had said.

I don't want Kurosaki to look back and regret losing his virginity too. Damn him, what has he turned me into?

"Okay I'm picking the next movie and I pick Kill Bill" Nnoitora exclaimed as the credits played on the screen.

"You would." Ulquiorra shook his head, "It's obvious you have the lack of proper refinement even an infant could display."

"Here's the number of shits I give about what just left your lips: zero."

Before Ulquiorra could counter, Nnoitra slowly slid off the bed and walked into the bathroom as collectedly as he could.

"Apparently you're wrong." Ulquiorra commented.

"I hope you have explosive diarrhea!" Yammy called, laughing to no end.

"Fuck all of you!" Nnoitora called from behind the closed door.


On the way back into the hotel, Renji pulled Ichigo aside to ask him a private question.

"Hey, I wanna ask you this and you have to promise you won't freak out okay?"

"Okay…" Ichigo responded, sure he was about to have to punch Renji in the gut.

"What does Grimmjow's dick taste like?"

"Wh-what? WHY?"

"I'm just curious."

"I'm assuming you want to know simply because you're 'curious' about what it will be like when you give your first blowjob."

"O-okay. That's good. Let's go with that."

Ichigo stopped in place and looked outside to the darkening sky. How could he describe the taste of Grimmjow's penis?

"I can't really think of much to say about the taste of like…the head and shaft. It's not bad is all I can really say… Salty and warm…? Anyway, what I can say tastes good to me is his cum. I swallow almost every time I blow him."

"That stuff tastes good?"

"Well yea. I mean, it's really tangy, but when I remember that it's from Grimm, I just…I dunno…down it…? It's special because one, it's something I can do that pleases him and two, I know it is him in essence. It's his taste and his only."

"It pleases him?"

"Yea. He uh…he likes to taste it in my mouth when we kiss. It's a dominant male ownership thing I guess…" Ichigo whispered.

"What a freak."

"Say what you want, but it's our thing. Not everybody does the same thing as everybody else anyway."

"Hey! Hurry up slow pokes!" Senna called from ahead.

"Don't tell us what to do!" Renji exclaimed, stomping over to her.

Ichigo shook his head and slowly caught up to the rest of the group.

"Hey Kuchiki-san, let's make some hot chocolate for everyone when we get back into our room!" Inoue bounced.

"Oh good idea! I bought some marshmallows back at the airport too so it will be complete!" she smiled.

Everyone seemed to be getting along quite well these days. Rukia and Inoue were so close they had been having slumber parties every week. Chad and Ishida generally held a conversation or two even. Then there was Senna and Renji. Those two were always at each other's necks. But Ichigo couldn't think of any other way they could be together. They were too much alike to be friendly with each other.

He looked to the two while they made their way up to Rukia and Inoue's room.

"Oh just put a sock in it Renji!" he watched Senna hold her sides while she laughed her way into the elevator.

"Your mouth is half the size of your head you know that!" Renji retorted angrily.

They argue more than Rukia and Renji do.

"Oh Kuchiki-san, I hope it would be okay if I invite Tatsuki-chan and the others to our room?" Inoue asked.

"That sounds fine to me. Will Keigo and Mizuiro join too?"

"Most likely. I think Mizuiro has a crush on Michiru."

At that, both girls giggled.

"They would make the cutest couple!" Senna joined.

"I thought we were the only ones who thought that!" Rukia smiled.

Girls could be so goofy sometimes. These three in particular were fairly bubbly in their own way when they were apart, but now it was like a foam party or something.

When the elevator reached the seventh floor, everyone exited and made their way down the hallway to the girls' room.

"There you are Orihime!" Chizuru gleamed.

"Hi Chizuru! Hi everyone!" Inoue waved as she ran over to the door and unlocked it with her keycard. "Sorry to make you all wait!"

"It's no problem at all." Tatsuki assured.

"What movie are we going to watch?" Keigo asked as he made his way in.

"I was thinking a comedy." Rukia commented as she took a seat on her bed and picked up the remote.

Ichigo smiled. It had been a long time since everyone hung out outside of school. Even Senna seemed to be fitting perfectly into their little group.

"So does anybody else like the new song Harukaze by Scandal?" Rukia asked.

"Me!" Inoue sang.

"I don't think it's so bad. I still kind of like Shoujo S. They're a really good band if I'm honest." Tatsuki commented.

After much more small talk, Ichigo looked at his phone and noticed it was a little bit past ten now and they still hadn't decided on anything to watch.

I hope Grimmjow is still up…

"I know exactly what to watch!" Chizuru got the remote from Rukia and started Netflix.

All the girls in the room squealed when she searched "Sailor Moon" and let it play.

"Seriously?" Keigo asked.

"Hey, let's play Phantasy Star." Mizuiro pulled out his PSP, Keigo imitating his action.

"Did you ever beat Wayfarer in White and unlock Vivienne's partner card?" he asked.

"Like ages ago. I got Magashi's card last night. I also bought some DLC missions and started beating those." Mizuiro confidently remarked.

Video game talk. It wasn't so bad when Ichigo knew what was being discussed. However, he had never played the
Phantasy Star series before so he tuned them out for the time being. No matter what they did, as long as they did it together, that was all that really mattered.


Grimmjow flipped onto his side under his sheets. He had been tossing and turning ever since he got back from watching movies with everyone and he hated it. Tonight was so boring. There wasn't much going on downstairs in the lobby or in the atrium so he had made his way to his room to maybe get some sleep. Unfortunately, the night was still young.

He glanced over at Renji's bed. That fool was still out which meant Kurosaki was probably still out too. The thought vanished when he heard footsteps walking down the hallway. Damnit he wasn't about to just lie around and do nothing. He threw the sheets to the side and got out of bed. Seeing as there was nothing else to do, he put on a jacket, slipped on the fuzzy slippers Kurosaki had bought him, and walked out onto the balcony.

The air was cold. He hated the cold. Luckily February would be March in about two to three weeks. The weather had been flocculating all month. First it was cool. Then it got rainy. Next it got cold. Then it got snowy. Those times he'd spent outside in September with Kurosaki seemed so long ago. They had been together for about six months now. So much had transpired in that time. They met in late September and got together in early October. Things had been pretty steady for them up until the end of January when Aizen decided to stick his fucking nose back into his life.

Now things were so complicated. It wasn't like he could leave Kurosaki to spare him from Aizen's wrath. And they couldn't run because of all the people the bastard would go after. Even Renji didn't deserve to get involved with the twisted snake, and he couldn't stand Renji.

Grimmjow sighed heavily, watching his breath flow out like smoke. He hadn't smoked anything in so long. Nobody ever told him how proud they were of him for that except Kurosaki. When his breath faded away, he brought his attention back the city in front of him. All those people had no idea what was going on in his life. No idea the trouble he was in. No idea the boy he was with. Ever since that party he had been looking at the stars all the time. Tonight though, there was nothing but dark gray clouds traveling above. He looked out to the mountains, then the ski resorts, then back to the city.

When the room door opened, he turned his head. It was Renji and Kurosaki. After a few minutes he heard Kurosaki's voice.

"Hey Renji can I spend some time with Grimm in here? I promised him I'd see him after I hung out with you guys."

"Okay. Where am I gonna go though?"

"You could hang out with Shuhei in my room."

"All right. Who knows, maybe I'll get lucky."

"What the hell?" Grimmjow thought.

"Here's my keycard."

Grimmjow waited a few minutes after he heard the door close to go back inside, closing the door behind him.

"Grimmjow! What are you doing in here?" Ichigo nearly jumped out of his skin.

"This is my room remember?" he noticed Ichigo's position and smirked, "Why are you sprawled out on my bed?"

"Oh, I was waiting for you. I wanted to see you tonight."

Grimmjow took a seat and stared down into his brown eyes. "I wanted to see you too."

Ichigo slid his hand on top of Grimmjow's and rubbed it softly. Grimmjow bent over and placed a kiss on those pink lips he couldn't do without.

"Thanks for...you know, being there all the time Kurosaki."

Ichigo blushed and smiled. "You don't need to thank me you idiot. That's what I'm here for."

"You mean so fucking much to me." Grimmjow thought, wishing he could say it. If he said something like that this early in their relationship, it could just make things feel rushed. He slid up further on his bed and pulled Kurosaki up with him.

Ichigo scooted up and sat between Grimmjow's legs. He rested his chin on Grimmjow's shoulder. His skin grew hot when he felt the other's warm mouth begin sucking his neck.

Grimmjow kissed and bit and sucked Ichigo's skin while working his way out of his own jacket and shirt. After a glance into the other's eyes, he pulled the jacket and t-shirt over his orange-haired head. Without hesitation, he began trailing kisses over Ichigo's torso.

Ichigo moaned eagerly when he remembered the talk he had with Renji earlier. Why did he like blowing Grimmjow? It really just came naturally to him. And right now, that was all he wanted to do.

He moved closer to the man in front of him and began mimicking his actions from a few seconds ago. He kissed his toned chest and made sure to lick both nipples. For the few seconds they remained wet, Ichigo could see the lightest of blue hairs surrounding them. His skin grew hotter when he made the decision to kiss his way downward, following the path the happy trail of hair left for him. Before he could even reach the belly button, Grimmjow had lowered his sweat pants and boxers, revealing his hardened member.

Ichigo felt his eyes becoming heavily hazed with lust. He kissed lower and lower until he reached his goal. Before engulfing it, he trailed kisses down one side of the length and up the other. He looked up and saw blue eyes watching him intently. This caused him to blush a deep crimson. But this was Grimmjow.

He probably wants this more than I do.

Grimmjow threw his head back when Ichigo took in as much of him as he could. When he looked back down and saw that orange head bobbing up and down, he knew this wasn't all he wanted to do tonight.

"Kurosaki…ugh…Are you ready to…go all the way?" he managed.

Ichigo stopped and pulled his mouth away from Grimmjow's member. Was he ready to take that step? He looked into Grimmjow's eyes and realized he was completely serious. After all they had been through, and all they were destined to go through, he decided he would be glad to give it up to the man before him.

"I…I think I am."

Grimmjow leaned forward and kissed him softly. "Get out of your pants."

Ichigo did as he was told. His heart was racing a thousand miles a second, but he wasn't about to go back on his word now.

When they were both completely naked, Grimmjow pulled out a condom and put it on slowly. He looked up at Ichigo and spoke, "Oh, I need to prepare you first."

"Huh?"

"I need to stretch you so you won't be in so much pain."

At that, Ichigo became more nervous than before. "Pain?"

"Yea. But if I prepare you the right way, it will be less painful and more pleasurable."

"Oh…"

Grimmjow noticed he wasn't making Ichigo feel any better so he leaned forward again and whispered in his ear. "Do you trust me Kurosaki?"

Ichigo nodded in response.

"I won't hurt you okay. It'll feel weird at first, but I'm gonna make it feel really good for ya."

With Ichigo's consent, Grimmjow lubed his fingers and laid the boy onto his back. He rubbed Ichigo's entrance gently, and then inserted a finger. Ichigo squirmed at the intrusion, but quickly adjusted to the feeling. Grimmjow poked and prodded for a few seconds, then added a second finger.

"Does that feel good?"

"Y-yea…it's not bad."

"Okay, here's the third."

Ichigo moaned and closed his eyes when all three fingers slid in and out of him. Grimmjow continued his ministrations for a few minutes, and when Ichigo calmed down and got used to the feeling, he pulled his fingers out.

"Okay, this one's a little bigger."

Ichigo opened his eyes and looked straight into Grimmjow's. He was more nervous than he had ever been in his life.

"I…I-"

"I promise it'll feel good after just a few minutes."

"…Okay…"

Grimmjow positioned himself and looked back into Ichigo's eyes. Kurosaki was so beautiful. Everything about him made him realize what he had been missing out on all these years. He was glad this was not just a quick fuck with someone whose name he didn't even know.

"I fucking love you Kurosaki." He thought as he pushed past the boy's entrance.

Ichigo closed his eyes tight. Grimmjow's penis was a lot bigger than his fingers. As it slid further and further into him, he couldn't help but let a tear escape. To his surprise, Grimmjow leaned forward and kissed him in an attempt to calm him down.

"He cares at least. I wanted this, and now there's nothing to do but try to enjoy it." He thought.

He opened his eyes, he felt Grimmjow go as deep as he could and stop.

"I love you Grimmjow. Don't ever leave me."

He rocked his hips to let him know it was okay to move. Grimmjow got the message and began a slow rhythm, moving in and out.

Ichigo moaned uncontrollably when the other quickened his movements. Suddenly, he felt a wave of pleasure come over him when Grimmjow hit a certain spot.

"Do that…again…" he pleaded.

Grimmjow angled himself so he could hit that same spot every time. He knew Ichigo was starting to get more pleasure out of it because he was moving in rhythm with his own.

"Call my name Kurosaki."

"Grimmjow."

"Louder."

"Grimmjow!" Ichigo moaned. He grabbed his forgotten member and began stroking it in tune with Grimmjow's pounding.

Grimmjow leaned forward and violently kissed Ichigo. This boy was his now. The more moans and groans he gave, the more the bluenette felt himself getting closer to climaxing. He couldn't keep up his slowed pace, so he pounded Ichigo harder and faster.

Ichigo was nearing his end. Grimmjow kept hitting that one spot over and over and the speed was too much for him to take. His climax felt better than it ever had before. He shot all over his hand and stomach with a loud moan. When Grimmjow saw this, he grabbed his arm, brought his hand to his mouth, and licked it clean.

"Kurosaki, I-I'm gonna-"

Ichigo felt Grimmjow stop moving and felt strong pulsations from his member inside him. He knew he had reached his climax.

Grimmjow pulled out, leaving Ichigo feeling empty, and removed the condom. He noticed the cum all over Kurosaki's stomach and bent down to lick it off.

Ichigo moaned again at the feeling of that magical tongue. When the mess was cleared Grimmjow fell on top of him, head on his chest, breathing heavily.

"I can't remember the last time I had sex that good." He huffed.

Ichigo wrapped his arms around Grimmjow's form and brought his hands up to tangle his fingers in his blue locks of hair. The two stayed in their position for quite some time basking in the afterglow of sex.

When their breathing regulated, Grimmjow rose and kissed Ichigo before he moved up behind him and pulled the sheets over them. He wrapped his arms around the boy's smaller form and kissed the back of his neck.

"Grimmjow, that was amazing."

"Told ya. Now get some sleep cuz I'm tired." He yawned.

Ichigo lay in silence for a while, but when he heard Grimmjow's faint snore he closed his eyes.

"I don't regret it. I actually really enjoyed it. It's all thanks to you that I feel this way. Thank you." He looked over his shoulder and smiled at the lack of a scowl on the other's face, "I love you Grimmjow."

The last thing Ichigo could remember about that night before he fell asleep was Grimmjow's barely conscious words:

"By the way, you're gonna be walking funny tomorrow."

Just fyi, Bleach has started airing the episodes from the latest season. I didn't feel like reading the latest manga chapters lol, but this couldn't have come at a better time. I'll start my analysis of characters from that season to keep them in character for you all :)
