GrimmIchiShiro: Please read and review! Angel doesn't own Bleach or its characters!
Shiro dashed to the Ichigo's side, placing a pale hand to the red head's cheek and said, "Ichi…ya came back ta me." The berry let out a soft laugh, leaning in to the albino's touch and whispered, "Yeah Shiro…I came back."
Tears made their way down snow white cheeks, as the albino embraced the berry, sobbing out, "Ichi…I'd thought I'd lost ya…I'm so glad yer back…" Ichigo could feel tears of his own falling freely as he said into the albino's neck, "Baka, there's no way I'd leave you…I…I love you Shiro…" He could feel Shirosaki stiffen, before putting a small amount of space between them and said with wide, watery eyes, "W-wha did ya say?" Ichigo took in a calming breath before saying, "I said, 'I love you Shirosaki,' I love you and nothing's ever going to change that…you have helped me so much-in so many ways, that I don't know how I would ever have repaid you…until I knew that you were the one for me…you, Shirosaki Ogichi, are my savior, my best friend, my soul mate and hopefully…my lover. You are my world and my heart, Shiro…I just wanted you to know that, because…without you, my world would be nothing, and I probably wouldn't be alive if I had never met you…thanks, Shiro. I love you."
The albino could have sworn he died right then and there. Ichi just said all that…fer me…the pale one thought, trying to process everything he just heard. Ichigo shifted under the intense gaze he was getting from the albino, only to have a pair of lips crash upon his, the kiss full of love and compassion. Instead of fighting back, the berry gave in to it, giving his boyfriend-lover entrance to his cavern. Shiro's tongue thoroughly mapped out the berry's mouth, loving the moans he got in return from said red head. When the need for air became apparent, the two broke apart, gasping and panting for breath. The albino glanced at his lover, loving the flushed look Ichigo wore: his face wearing a bright pink tint, his eyes misty and full of love and want.
"Shiro," the berry whimpered, shifting in his bed sheets, arching his back when his erection brushed against them. The albino grinned lecherously and said huskily, "Yes, my love? What is it?" "Shiro…I need…ahh!" Ichi moaned, arching his back when the albino removed the sheets and wrapped a hand around the berry's throbbing manhood, pumping it slowly. "As much as I'd love ta do more to ya Ichi, I don't wanna risk havin' ya pass out on me and fallin' into a coma again." Shiro said, quickening his pace and enjoying having his berry writhing under him. "Shiro!" the red head screamed, eyes rolling back, "I-I'm gonna…I'm gonna…" The albino leaned forward, right next to the quivering red head's ear, licking the shell of it and whispered one word sentence, "Cum fer me, Ichi." And come Ichi did, ribbons of the white liquid shooting from his straining erection, a small, "I love you," coming from his kiss swollen lips.
After cleaning up the red head, Shiro looked down at his lover and smiled, Ichigo returning it sleepily, "I love you," the berry repeated. The albino merely chuckled and said, "I love you too, Ichi." Just as Ichigo fell asleep, Shiro felt a pang of fear strike him, don't let him slip back into a coma… 'He won't,' a female voice answered humorously, 'he's sleeping…you just tired him out with your little…play time.' The albino looked around, wondering where the voice had come from…finding no one, he decided that it was lack of sleep, and that he was imagining things. Must be more tired than I thought, he guessed, running a hand through snow white locks. 'No, silly,' the voice said again, 'turn around!' Shiro turned to see a woman that looked very much like Ichigo, in his opinion, with warm, chocolate colored eyes and strawberry blonde hair. 'Close, but I think it's the other way around, Ichi looks like me,' she said, smiling, 'I'm Masaki, Ichigo's mother.' H-how can that be…? I thought Grimm said that she… the albino thought, wide eyed and shocked.
'Yes, I am dead Shirosaki,' the woman said calmly, confirming the albino's suspicions. Holy shi-, the albino was thinking, only to be cut off, 'Please do not use such foul language around me, Shiro. I don't like it very much. Anyway, you're probably wondering about why I'm here and how come I'm talking to you?' she interrupted, scrunching her nose in disgust at the words the albino was about to use. Shiro only nodded in response to her questions. 'Well, since I'm on a tight schedule, I'll make it quick. I'm here to let you know that I've become my lil' Ichi-berry's Guardian Angel, so I'll be keeping an eye on you two for a while,' she smiled at that, 'he really does care about you Shiro, as if what he told you didn't get through…I'm also here to tell you that I want you to take care of my baby, while he may be an adult now, he's still my son, and I want to see him happy…please take care of him Shirosaki, I can tell that you're a good person at heart, no matter how bad your mouth may be.' He smirked at that, thinking, I will take care of him, ma'am…I love him, and I'll do anythin' ta make 'em happy and have 'em smiling. He's the light to my darkness, my everythin'…he's the most important thing in my entire life, and I will do whatever it takes to make him happy…you can count on me. Masaki smiled at the albino's words for her son, and turned to leave, golden wings protruding from her back, one final sentence said as she left, 'You really are his soul mate…'
Once Ichigo had re-awakened, Shiro called the doctor in to check up on his berry. Given the okay, the albino called his friends and told them the good news, only to have Grimmjow arrive five minutes after the phone was put down. "Ichi! Glad to see you're awake!" the blunette said smirking. The berry smiled at his friend's comment and said, "Yeah…glad to see you're still louder than a demolition derby." Grimm laughed at the comment and sat at the edge of the red head's bed, chatting with Ichigo until Rukia showed up, then the four were able to talk and allow the red head to catch up with the rest of the world. "So what day is it?" Ichigo asked, curious. "It's December 21, 2012," Grimmjow said nonchalantly. The red head stared at him wide eyed, "There's no way I've been out for two years!" he exclaimed, knowing full well that he was out for four and a half months. The blunette smirked before laughing, "Na, I'm just joking Ichi! It's not the 21 of 2012, but it is December 21 of 2010."
Shiro smacked the taller male on the side of the head. "Ouch! What the fuck, man?" Grimmjow growled, rubbing the side of his head, muttering, "That fucking hurt." "Tha's fer scaring Ichi, dumbass!" the albino hissed, walking over to his berry and placing a gentle shoulder over the red head's, "But he was right about the date the second time Ichi. It is December 21, 2010." Ichigo stared at his lover in shock; wow…I've been out for a long time… "It's okay Ichi," Shiro said, sensing the berry's discomfort and bringing him (Ichi) into his pale chest, "all tha matters is tha yer back, and tha I love you."
Rukia's and Grimmjow's eyes widened as they heard the last part of the albino's sentence. Grimm, being the first to recover, smirked and said, "So, you two finally said the 'L' word, huh?" Shiro looked back at his friend and smirked, nodding and enjoying the blush that covered the berry's cheeks. The three men jumped when they heard a loud scream, Ichigo rolled his eyes after realizing it was Rukia. "Crap," he muttered, causing the two remaining males to look at him questioningly, to which he answered, "She's a rabid yaoi fangirl." Shiro's eyes widened, while Grimmjow simply muttered, "Shit…you guys are screwed!" "I know," the couple responded in sync, causing Ichigo to blush and the albino to smirk, allowing the raven haired female to squeal at how adorable the sight was.
"You guys are just so cute~!" she sang, smiling the whole time. Grimmjow rolled his eyes, wondering, why do I know this chick? Shiro could practically read the blunette's thoughts and said, "I know Grimm, she's a pain." Rukia glared at the albino, pouting and shouted, "I am NOT a pain!" Ichigo laughed as the trio started arguing with each other, thinking, I've got such caring friends…they really are goofy, but I love them anyway… The berry hadn't realized they had stopped arguing when he was laughing, and they were now watching him, small smiles on their faces. Ichigo could feel his face heat up under their gazes as he stuttered, "Wh-what…? Do I have something on my face?" Shiro walked over to him and embraced him, saying, "No…we're just happy ta hear ya laugh and see ya smiling is all…we're all really happy ta have ya awake now Ichi." The two remaining people walked over to the couple and joined in the hug, tears of joy falling down their faces-even Grimmjow!
Ichigo was glad to know that he had such caring friends…that he had Shiro.
The berry checked out of the hospital two days later, happy that Shiro was able to take him home. On the way back, Shiro said, "Ichi…I wanna ask ya somethin'…" Ichigo looked at the elder male curiously and said, "Sure thing Shiro, what is it?" The albino glanced at him before looking back to the road and said, "How…how would ya feel about stayin' wit me in my apartment? Living at my place?" The red head's eyes lit up at the thought as he said, "I'd love to!" The smile Shiro wore threatened to split his face in half before he said, "I'm glad ya said tha Ichi…welcome home." When Ichigo stepped into the albino's-their apartment, hanging in the hallway was a huge banner that read, "Welcome Home Ichigo". The berry could feel his eyes stinging with tears as he turned to his boyfriend, "You planned this all along, didn't you?" he giggled, hugging the paler man, "I love it…thank you Shiro…so much…" The albino smirked and said, "Yeah, I did…and I'm glad ya like it…I love ya Ichi." "I love you too, Shiro," the berry breathed, smiling at his love, the ivory male returning it brightly.
Shiro leaned forward and kissed his lover, thanking god that someone as beautiful as Ichigo would fall in love with someone like him, Shirosaki.
