It's late. I think to myself as I look at the digital clock on the screen as I press a few buttons to order for the new table that sat down. We were supposed to be fucking closed in half an hour, done cleaning the place and counting the money earned today.
"excuse me." I hear a customer call for me.
I huff silently and walk up to her. I'm not gonna go home in a long while, I think with a huff. I take her order and walk away, dread filling my mind.
"Ichigo, you okay?" my boss asked me, looking at me with his concerned green eyes.
"I'm fine." I sigh out as I go to the bar to collect the table's drinks.
"listen, you've got to calm down, I know this is annoying and that you're tired but that table was complaining about you, they said you were impatient and rude." he talked quietly, trying not to catch the customers attention.
I bit my tongue and clench my jaw tight, I should keep my mouth shut if I want to keep this job. I went over to the table and smiled as I placed their ordered drinks, a girl called out to me.
"hey, can I get your number?" she slurred with a leer, clearly already drunk from before.
My eyes blinked as I was taken aback, first they complain about the service and now they want to get in my pants? Fuck no. But I put on an apologetic expression and turn her down gently. As I walked away I heared her call me uptight and I huffed again, rolling my eyes.
I noticed Kaien look at me and then at the table with a scowl, he got up and went over, I saw him talk with the customers, he looked friendly but his aura spoke of authority. My brow rose, why is he talking to them? Maybe they didn't want me to wait them, whatever... The girl that hit on me glared at him and cut him off by shouting "fuck this, let's get out of here." they threw some dollars on the check and stormed out.
"what did you say to them?" I mumbled as I was cleaning their dishes up, piling them on my tray. Kaien was helping me take them to the dishwasher and he huffed "Ichigo, listen, I know how it sucks to be a waiter, and you're a good one, you never cause trouble and you're attentive, I just couldn't let those pricks treat you like that."
My eyes widened when I heard him curse, he never did that, even when he was really angry.
I shrugged at him "you didn't have to do that."
We cleaned all the tables and he chuckled "no, I did, there's something about people being served that makes them feel superior. It just bugs me y'know?"
He rambled on and I kept shrugging, I didn't really know what I was supposed to say to that, I mean, yes, I feel that everyday but that's the job.
"Ichigo, if anything like that ever happened to you again, let me know, I'll take care of it." he smiled at me warmly.
My eyes looked at anything other than him, I didn't know where this kindness was coming from "that's not really necessary, I can handle myself."
His raven locks twisted as he shook his head determinedly "no way, that's not a way to treat a person, you have to tell me. I know you can handle yourself but I just can't let things like that slide. I'm always working the night shifts with you and you never seem to come to me for help, that's what I'm here for anyway." he chuckled.
I felt my lips pull, creeping them into a tiny smile at his bullheadedness, I've never really spoke to my coworkers seeing as they were all loud, I just never saw the benefit in making conversation with them, but Kaien always tried his best to make the atmosphere pleasant, which is admirable of him, but frankly? It dosen't mean much to me.
"oh! That's it! That's what I've been waiting for, a smile!" he laughed, making me scratch at the back of my head in embarrassment.
Come on, don't treat me like I'm some kid "yes, you got me, I'm a human too." I said while rolling my eyes.
That made him blink "what? Of course you are. I just wanted to see you have some fun for a change." he said seriously while we closed up, that last table didn't even leave a tip.
"I-I didn't mean it like that, it was a joke." I quickly calmed him down. It's like I'm in a new area and I don't know how to act, we don't really understand each other.
"oh, I-I'm sorry, I guess I got carried away." he chuckled nervously.
"it's fine, don't worry about it." I sighed as I streched, feeling my sore limbs protest.
He smiled warmly again, like he can't smile differently, only in that warm, welcoming way "okay, thanks for today Ichigo, have a good night."
I nodded before going away "night."
My head hurt and I was still tired and upset, this was one hellish shift and I feel really down, there's this uneasiness in my chest and it wouldn't go away. My hand ran over my hair and I pulled out my phone, looking for a name from my contact list. It's three o'clock in the morning but I bet he's still awake. I press dial and wait for the call to connect.
"hello?" I heared that gruff voice, he was in a very noisy area, how fitting of him, I snorted "hey Grimm."
He huffed a chuckle "hey, I've missed you. What the fuck're you doin' up?" he said through a smile.
I huffed "I just finished my shift."
"just now? It's... Like, really fuckn' late."
I chuckled sarcastically "I know, it sucks and I'm pissed."
"want me ta come over?" he suddenly leered.
I bit my lip and thought about it "yeah, yeah, I'd like that. Where are you now?"
"uh, I'm at Shiro's, he's having a welcome back party, but it'll be okay if I took an early leave." The mention of Shiro's name made me scowl, but it seems like Grimmjow is having fun, he even sounds a little bit intoxicated, and I cant make him leave everyone "no, don't do that. Stay and have fun." I chuckle to convince him.
"nu uh, it's okay. besides, I would really want to do some dirty things to you right now" his voice lowered a couple of tones, making it breathy.
I supressed a shudder "really? How intoxicated are you Grimmjow?" I scold teasingly.
"mmm pretty much blazed actually" he laughed "come over here, its on the way. I promise to be good." he husked.
I licked my lips, feeling my cheeks heat up slightly "okay, fine."
The way to Shiro's apartment wasn't long and I soon found myself knocking on his door. There was loud music coming from the inside so I hope someone hears me, I was about to call Grimmjow to meet me but the door suddenly opened. My eyes widened when I saw red flowing hair, it's Renji. What the fuck is he doing here? He and Grimmjow don't get along don't they? But they did say they had history, so Renji used to hang out with this croud before? Suddenly I noticed that I was gaping at him dumbly and collected myself.
"uh, hi." I muttered.
He looked me over and he didn't really look pleased to see me, is it because I didn't answer his apology? "yo, wanna come in?" he stepped away and led me inside.
I looked around after cautiously stepping in, trying to find my intoxicated companion but I saw nothing except other intoxicated people snorting drugs, making out or passing blunts, there were empty bottles everywhere, and a couple making grinding the sofa on the far end of the room. I huffed quietly because I know Renji wouldn't like to hear my request but I'm not going to walk around this mess without knowing where I'm going "hey, have you seen Grimmjow?"
He failed trying to roll his eyes without me seeing and I rolled mine in response, grow the fuck up Renji, he even fucking huffed before finally saying "I think I know where he is, follow me."
Well, at least he had the decency to take me to him, we passed the couple grinding on each other and went out to a balcony, I craned my neck when I went in and saw Grimmjow standing with his back to me, and in front of him I saw Shiro, looking at the ground with a tired frown, he looked upset.
"Grimm?" I called out to him, trying to get his attention so we could get out of here.
He lifted his head as he heared my voice and turned around to look at me with a grin, he stumbled a little bit but made his way towards me and murmured a "hey" before giving me a kiss.
I looked up to his hazy blood shot eyes and asked him "you okay?" he grinned brighter and nodded, holding my hand and lacing our fingers together.
Suddenly Shiro shifted and sighed "go on Grimm, I'll be fine." he shooed him, and I looked at Renji when Grimmjow went to say bye. His face was angry, he looked conflicted and hurt, he didn't look that way before, and he definitely didn't look like that when Grimmjow was mentioned.
But before I got to fully mull over it Grimmjow circled my waist and led me back inside, I almost stumbled over a beer bottle that was rolling on the floor but I regained my footing pretty quickly, before I knew it we were outside the apartment, the door shutting behind us. When we were in the hallway of the apartment complex Grimmjow pushed my body against the wall, trapping me and catching my lips with his. He was so eager, and harsh, I immideately did the same, his fingers tangled in my hair and mine grabbing his jacket, pulling his body to me.
We broke the kiss and looked at each other for a second, catching our breaths and I felt my lips pull into a grin when his did.
"I'm glad you came." he said and pressed another kiss to my lips.
I shruged "well, you did make me an offer I couldn't refuse." I reason and made him chuckle.
"come on." he pushed away and circled his hand around my waist, our body heat keeping us warm on the walk outside.
We got to my building, and went up the stairs leisurely, Grimmjow swaying a little with every step.
"are you sure you're okay?" I snort as he almost tripped over his own feet.
He grinned at me sheepishly "yeah, yeah I'm good."
I laced our fingers to help him get up as we got inside my apartment, after I closed the door his hands circled my waist and he bit my ear gently.
"let's go to the bedroom." he husked and nuzzled my cheek.
I chuckled and led the way, Grimmjows hands snaking under my shirt and pulling it up, exposing my chest. I lifted my arms to let him take it off completely and climbed on my bed, Grimmjow going after me. We kissed sloppily, all teeth and tongue and we threw our pants somewhere on the floor.
Grimmjow moaned into my mouth and I wrapped my legs around him, pressing us together.
"I wanna fuck you..."
He drawled, I grunted when he rolled his strong hips on mine. He was really out of it and it made me laugh. He bit my shoulder hard and gripped my thigh, grinding into me over and over again, I felt shudders roll up and down my spine and I held on to his back, feeling his muscles ripple with every thrust rubbing our hard ons together through our boxers.
"shit..ah!" I bit my lip, my eyes were closed shut.
But then Grimmjows pulled away, and took his underwear off, I heared our ragged breaths in my dim bedroom and he looked at me, like he was hungry. He dove back on me, kissing me stupid and a hand snaked into my boxer briefs, pulling them down. "Ichigo." he moaned out, licking the shell of my ear, groping my ass and spreading my cheeks "I want you so much, I want you right now." he muttered again and again, like some kind of prayer.
My heart clenched "Grimm, hold on..." I managed to breath out.
I felt him rubbing against me, pressing me harder against the bed, a finger going inside me, I flinched when he touched that bundle of nerves and chocked a moan.
"Ichigo, you're so beautiful." he husked, his voice sinfully low as he pumped his finger in and out of me.
My breath was so heavy, but I didn't feel right "Grimmjow please." I choked when he bit my lower lip.
It's as if he didn't even register what I said, he just went faster, rubbing on my prostate harder and harder I moaned but I felt suffocated. His whole body was on top of mine, trapping me under him "Grimmjow stop for a second." I bit out.
I started to panic when he growled in my ear, his breath fanning half of my face.
I put my hands quickly on his chest and wrenched him off of me "stop it!" I screamed.
Those blue eyes looked at me with horror, his hair a mess and his chest was rising and falling quickly, I pushed him so hard he fell back on his ass away from me and we just stared at each other. All I could hear was my heart beating frantically in my chest, trying to get away from my ribcage and I froze in my place.
Grimmjow swallowed and blinked "I-Ichigo I... I'm so sorry." he stuttered out, raising his hand towards me.
I couldn't bring myself to react, I just stared at him, I don't want to be touched I need some air.
"I didn't mean to-I'm..." he sat up, pleading, his expression nervous "fuck..." he held his face and sighed.
He got up from the bed and looked at me, biting his lip "I think I should go." he said heavily and got dressed.
I watched him quietly until he left, I heared the front door close with a soft click and then, finally when I was alone, I slid inside my blanket, hugging it to my chest and I cried silently.
I was just so scared, he was so high, I don't know what wouldve happened. I felt tension in my chest and my heart beating heavily.
I thought I was doing fine, what the fuck happened?
