The Three Brothers

Hands all over that's all could be said to describe the sensation he was feeling at the moment. He knew that Gin didn't have eight arms with eight wonderfully tantalizing hands attached to them but to him with the blind fold over his eyes and the plugs in his ears heightening all his other senses it felt like Gin had at least eight hands. And as those delightful slender fingers snaked up and down his torso, Toshiro's body gave a violent jerk as the tip of Gin's tongue began tracing a trail down his torso leaving a trail of fire, in the wake of his hands.

He felt Gin circle his navel with his tongue before dipping the wet appendage inside and Toshiro bit down on his bottom lip as his lover snaked those sinful hands around his body locating his unprepared entrance and his leaking erection all at the same time. And all sensations stopped when Gin paused in his ministrations and Toshiro would swear to you later that he could feel Gin smile against his belly.

Toshiro spoke something along the lines of "Stop fucking with me!" But the only thing that could be heard by his lover was a muffling sound. Because not only was he blindfolded and ear plugged but he had also been gagged and tied to the wooden bed post by his hands and feet. Totally exposed to Gin and if he admitted it to himself he would have to say he loved every minute of it. But of course he would never say as much out loud this was King Toshiro we were talking about.

He felt Gin's breath at the head of his hardened member before he blew on him and stuck his tongue out to lick away the pre-cum that had settled there and then ever so slowly he pulled away a chill from the absence of his lover's warmth went surging through Toshiro's body and the young King's wants and needs took over his very pride pushing it deep down in his being while telling it to 'shut the fuck up.'

Toshiro felt his body arch up off the bed and he heard himself growl out his body jerking. Why was Gin being so cruel? He felt the weight of the ex Commander's body on his and in the moment Toshiro wanted the use of his legs and arms so that he could wrap them around Gin and lock their bodies in place forever never letting him go. Gin started from the corner of his mouth licking, nibbling, biting and sucking his way down Toshiro's body.

And as he felt his lover engulfed his member humming as he did so. Toshiro felt a metaphorical weight lift from him, his mind racing a million miles an hour as he bucked his hips into the enticing wet heat of Gin's mouth. And as he closed in towards that pleasure peak he felt, a penetrating digit slick by his lovers own spit push into him. What a sneaky bastard Gin was to think that his King wouldn't notice something so painfully delightful. He may not have had use of his senses but he had enough to push against the invading finger. He mumbled some other unintelligible words but Gin knew what Toshiro was asking for, as the young white haired King released his orgasm into Gin's awaiting mouth, he obliged his young lover by adding another digit scissoring his fingers the moment the second digit was added, and as Toshiro rode his high out he pulled at his restraints, practically begging Gin through his gag to release him.

Gin swallowed appreciatively what was offered to him humming as he did so. He felt slightly terrible for making Toshiro beg, but he needed to punish his little Toshi for leaving him alone for so many days. Yes Gin knew that the young King had matters that had needed his immediate attention but did he not know that Gin's libido was one of those matters that also need his immediate attention all the years they had spent together should have told the young King as much.

And as Gin entered Toshiro excruciatingly slow he bent down and pulled an ear plug from Toshiro's ear he purred in the ear that perked up from his warm breath.

"My...my Toshi ya shoulda known betta than ta leave me alone as long as ya did." Gin heard Toshiro whimper as he pulled out slowly and slammed back into his body, Toshiro groaned and growled all at the same time and he begin to speak his words muffled swears. "Dis hurts me just as much as it hurts ya." Okay maybe that was a lie, what a sick sadistic little man you are Gin ex Commander of the Guard.

And as Toshiro's muffled cries of pain/passion carried out the door, they were drowned out by those of Ichigo who wasn't gagged at the moment.

"So the little bitch tried to replace me barely cold in my grave." Grimmjow bit down on the top part of Ichigo's ear as he squeezed the hand of his lover that was raised above their heads. Ichigo was faced away from him the young King pressed between the wall and the rock hard chiseled body of his lover.

When Ichigo had turned up to his family cottage where both Gin and Grimmjow were hiding out, the blue haired ex Commander didn't know what he wanted to do first. Fuck Ichigo's brains out or should he be a good boyfriend and ask Ichigo about his worries such as how he was coping with his decision of not killing Toshiro, signing the new treaty and how he was going to rebuild the friendship between his old friends. So being the multi-tasker that he was he decided to do both.

So there they were in the first bedroom they reached before Grimmjow could effectively rip Ichigo's clothes from his body and any normal day Ichigo would have chastised the ex Commander for such an act but seeing how Ichigo was the first to begin the ripping off of clothes he couldn't very well yell at Grimmjow about it now could he?

Ichigo had just finishing telling Grimmjow about the conversation that he had had with Orihime the night before when his boyfriend had hit his pleasure center dead on sending the proud King in a fit of passionate cries.

"Doh-don't be so hard on her Grimm-OOH FFUCK!." Ichigo gasped out as Grimmjow raised his leg while angling his hips to thrust deeply and hit his lover prostrate dead on with every single thrust.

"Well she's a selfish bitch, my funeral was that morning. Like you could have moved on from me that fast. Fuck so tight Ichi." Grimmjow growled as he felt Ichigo's tight heat squeeze him his lover getting closer to his peak. The soldier reached around to his lover's neglected erection and began pumping Ichigo in sync with his relentless thrusts.

"Sshh-shit." Ichigo squinted his eyes closed as he pushed back meeting Grimmjow's harsh thrusts, the slapping sound of their bare flesh, wonderful music to the lovers ears "You're not fucking dead you dick!" Ichigo spat out right before Grimmjow slammed into his pleasure center again "OH GAH SHIT!"' Grimmjow felt Ichigo's sticky release in his hand, his orange haired lover came into his awaiting hand and on the wall before him.

And as Grimmjow continued his assault on Ichigo's body biting down on the nape of his lover's neck, his once rhythmic thrusts became more and more erratic, he released Ichigo's now softened member and he placed the hand to Ichigo's mouth and with his remaining strength the King licked his lover's fingers clean tasting himself while moaning in delight. Ichigo lost most of the strength in his body and he was just barely holding his own weight up against the wall making it too easy for his strong lover to pound him literally into the defenseless wall. Ichigo heard his name spill out of that sinful mouth as he was filled with his lover's seed.

Grimmjow flipped Ichigo around leaning on the wall with an arm above the orange haired King's head he rested his other hand on the slender waist of his King. He was still trying to catch his breath as he stared down into those chocolate brown eyes that he had grown to love so much over the years. And as Ichigo flashed him a wide smile practically showing all his teeth, Grimmjow realized that until the day he actually died he would be a slave to the man standing in front of him.

"I love you so much Ichi." Ichigo cocked his head to the side before capturing Grimmjow's lips in a tender kiss, the salty taste of the King still lingering in his mouth enticing Grimmjow and mesmerizing the man, and the ex Commander devoured the King's mouth sucking and licking wanting more of the deliciousness before it was gone. And after near suffocation the two parted ways once again trying to catch their breaths.

"I love you too Grimmjow, and don't you ever change not for anybody and that's including me, promise me that." Ichigo stated bumping heads with his lover, when he pulled back he noticed Grimmjow giving him his trademark shit eating grin.

"Didn't plan on it your spoil ass Majesty."

Coyote was the last to arrive at the cottage, in fact he had no idea why Ichigo had asked him to come there. He had no one there waiting for him not like Ichigo and Toshiro did. Coyote was asked by Ichigo to come alone, he imagined because his friend didn't want anymore people to know that Grimmjow and Gin were still alive. And so he honored his friend's request stopping right outside the cottage that was hidden deep in the forest of Karakura far out of sight nothing but the wildlife and the quiet stream to keep them company.

"Yup I give them six months top before they try to kill each other." Coyote said out loud to no one in regards to Grimmjow and Gin living at the cottage alone. The young King dismounted his horse slowly walking up to the entrance to the small cottage and stopping short of entering when he heard both Toshiro's and Ichigo's passionate cries. "Well this is awkward." Coyote said rolling his eyes. "I wonder if this is how Toshiro felt all those years ago walking in on Ichi and I?" Coyote shrugged his shoulders and walked away deciding to take a walk out by the lake and give his friends a few more minutes of alone time with their lovers slightly envious of them.

The blue gray eyed King with the heavy heart walked in silence along the riverbank listening to the silent flow of water as it ran over the rocks. He walked with his head bowed and his hands behind his back. With all that had happen Coyote hadn't really had a peaceful moment alone to really process well...everything.

As he thought about Chad's and even Cirruchi's deaths he felt at peace with himself. He felt a slight grievance for the lost of his wife not for himself but for his daughter. Because even though Cirruchi was a terrible wife, daughter in law and Queen she wasn't a half bad mother. She never let Lilynette see the evil that resided in her soul and for that he could say that he was grateful to her. His mind then took him back to the previous day where his mother and her lover practically told him that they were responsible for the sudden demise of the Queen Cirruchi and the traitor ex Advisor Kaname. Officially among the Kingdom the story was that the two had run off together to escape persecution for their traitorous deeds and surprisingly the people of Hueco Mundo took the news rather well, King Coyote suspected it was because of the recent war that was still fresh on the minds of his people.

Coyote stop walking and turned towards the water staring out into the distance. The sun sat high in the bright blue sky, nice fluffy clouds floating by it was rather warm that day and immediately he thought about Chad and the many silent walks they often took together on days just like this one and just like the slowly running water of the river before him, his tears began to fall and he let them, grateful for the fact that he was alone.

"Your Majesty?" Coyote's bright blue gray eyes widened in shock at the voice that was coming from his immediate left. Who the hell was it? He had thought the only other people on this land were currently engaged in sexual activities inside the cottage. How could he have missed the presence of another had he been that deep in thought? Not wise Coyote...not wise at all.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you...your Grace." The voice belong to Shinji and when Coyote turned to glare at the young man that was standing a few feet away, the anger that had risen up into his being quickly melted away when he saw the worried expression on the Advisor's face. The blonde haired man reached a hand out towards him. "Are you alright my lord? Shall I go for my King Ichigo?"

The worry in Shinji's brown eyes told Coyote that he cared not because he was a King but because he was a man in pain and in need of a friend and for that simple act of care and kindness Coyote was grateful.

"No that won't be necessary Advisor." Coyote finally answered Shinji turning away from the blonde to wipe away his tears. "What are you doing here?" The question came out a little more harsher than the King had meant and he hoped that Shinji didn't take it the wrong way.

"Oh...oh my apologies your Majesty I will leave you alone." Shinji bowed and then turned to leave.

"Wait!" Coyote's mouth spoke before his brain or heart could stop it. Why had he stopped Shinji? Didn't he want to be alone? "You don't have to go." Coyote finally said to Shinji's back and after a moment of consideration the Advisor turned to him bowing his head.

In his mind Coyote looked him over the tall and slender man was nothing like Chad. He was wearing the royal blue form fitting jacket of Karakura Kingdom military just like the one Chad wore before he changed allegiance. But of course Shinji didn't fill the uniform out like Chad did, his lover wore it better in Coyote's opinion. Shinji's unnaturally long hair that reached the small of his back was tied back in a low pony tail his nicely chopped bangs that stopped just below his eyebrows hid his brown eyes as he bowed to Coyote. And the King vaguely registered the man thanking him for allowing him to stay. And why had he?

"I only meant to ask why you were here at the cottage at this time?" Coyote restated his question in hopes that it didn't sound as nasty as it did before, no such luck his words were still laced with venom and distrust. Honestly what had Shinji done to him to warrant this treatment.

"Uhm well your Grace. King Ichigo said that he needed my assistance and expert advisory knowledge on a very personal matter and that it was imperative that I accompanied him today." Shinji finished his sentence looking up at the sky with his eyes, and then at the water and at the trees anywhere but at Coyote.

"I bet he did." Coyote finally said with a roll of his eyes turning his attention back to the quiet stream of water.

"Your Majesty?" Shinji questioned his eyes now on the King who was turned towards the water and not him, he wasn't exactly sure what Coyote was getting at but then he knew the King had no idea why Ichigo had asked for him to meet him at the cottage because at the moment only three people knew the reason and he was one of them.

"He's hoping that I would take a liking to you." Coyote clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Like I would ever replace Chad."

"No one would expect you too-" Shinji nearly bit his tongue when Coyote whipped his head in his direction and the blonde haired Advisor swallowed the lump that sat in his throat as he tried to steer himself out of the dangerous waters he had just ventured into. "It-It's just that his grace Commander Chad wouldn't want you to be this unhappy." Shinji didn't miss the fact that Coyote was now grinding his teeth and their was a low growl emanating from his chest. Shinji had never been shy or afraid of anything in fact he was rather outspoken comical at times but around Coyote he became someone else a rather reserved form of himself and it slightly scared him this new person he was becoming and he wasn't sure he'd liked it but he was a closet masochist and this King that stood before him was absolutely beautiful.

"I am not going to lie to you King Coyote." Shinji found his courage buried deep behind his chicken shitness and he fixed his brown eyes on the King. "You are fascinating to me and I want you but I am aware of what you have lost recently and I would never try to replace that-"

"Like you could." Coyote interrupted the Advisor, why was he being so mean? "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." Coyote apologized shaking his head at himself. "You've done nothing to warrant such distaste from me."

"You feel your love with Chad threatened by me and you are trying to protect it. I understand that." Shinji finished his sentence and there was a peaceful silence between them as Coyote processed the young Advisor's words. Was that what it was? Was he protecting Chad's memory, Chad's place in his heart from Shinji?

"Maybe I should go?" Shinji finally said after a few minutes of silence.

"No I don't want you to go….Shinji." Coyote turned his head and not his body to Shinji and the advisor nodded his head.

"Alright your Maj-"

"Coyote….while we are here by this lake alone with our thoughts and unspoken words I'm just Coyote."

"Alright then Coyote." Shinji offered the King a soft smile before the brunette turned his attention back to the peaceful running water. The blonde turned towards the water with his hands behind his back watching the water along with the King and every now and again he would catch the King looking at him from the corner of his eye.

Coyote didn't know how long he stood there in the company of Shinji by the river when both Ichigo and Toshiro emerged from the cottage trailed by Grimmjow and Gin.

"Hey there Coyo….see ya found Shinji." Ichigo wiggled his eyebrows at Coyote who in turned rolled his blue gray eyes.

"Nothing happened if that's what you're wondering." Coyote said to Ichigo who had turned to Shinji and winked an eye.

"Didn't think it would." Ichigo said looking back at his friend. "I've been with Grimmjow just as long as you were with Chad, that type of love doesn't go away overnight."

"Tell your wife that." Grimmjow said folding his arms across his chest. Gin turned to look at Grimmjow with a questioning look. "Not even cold in my grave and she's already making moves on what's mine." Gin clicked his tongue.

"My my she is a sly one. Momo would never do that ta my memory." Gin said grinning from ear to ear.

"She didn't even know you were fucking her husband. Doesn't count."

"Ah ah he told her, and after she flipped out and threw a rock at my Toshi."

"What! I bet you turned in your grave." Grimmjow chuckled while shaking his head from side to side at Momo's ridiculousness.

"I did and I'm still turning. But after she calmed down she decided ta give him time ta grieve at least that's why she thinks he's ere. But I-"

"Hey you two!" Ichigo snapped at Grimmjow and Gin, Toshiro was standing next to him with his hand covering his eyes shaking his head. "First of all you're not dead. And secondly neither of you can be cold in your grave or rolling in it for that matter because you were burned." Ichigo made the gesture for quotations with his fingers when he said the word burned rolling his eyes. "Now if you two don't mind I have something I need to share with Toshiro and Coyote."

"I mean you can be a little bit broken up over my death Ichi." Grimmjow said flashing his lover his trademark shit eating grin when the young King glared at him for his comment.

"I'm sorry about that Coyo they shouldn't have been joking about that." Ichigo gave his friend a warm smile.

"It's okay. Honestly it didn't bother me, if anything I wished Chad could be here joking about it with them. I mean they did give up everything and besides a select few, no one knows they are alive so in a way they are dead." Coyote looked over at Grimmjow and Gin and smiled at them to let them know he wasn't upset over their antics.

"So what did you want to talk to us about Ichigo?" Toshiro asked.

Ichigo reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the white parchment he had found the night before.

"Before I read you this, you should know that I've already talked to Rangiku about this and she confirmed it, and Shinji can attest to that fact." Ichigo unfolded the parchment, his hands noticeably shaking. "It's a letter written by my dad the night that he died."

"Ichi….I don't think I have the right-" Toshiro's eyes had widened at the mention of Isshin.

"No it's okay Toshi this letter is for…." Ichigo bit down on his bottom lip and tears filled his eyes. "If it wasn't for my anger towards you, we would have never-" Ichigo was at a lost for words and he wasn't sure he could read the letter his father had written. And just when he felt his resolve waining he felt Grimmjow walk up behind him and hold him around his waist.

"I'll read it Ichi. If you want me to." Grimmjow offered resting his chin on the King's shoulder.

"No I got it Grimm. Just stay right where you are please." Ichigo asked and in response Grimmjow brought him closer to his body as Ichigo began to read the letter left by his father.

My sons….

I have made a lot of terrible decisions in my lifetime and with them I have a lot of regrets but the one thing I can say I am truly proud of is all of you. Although I have had to watch two of you grow up from afar I can say that I am proud of the young men you have all become. At one point in my life I have loved all three of your mothers when their love was needed the most.

First Coyote, I had one final night with Rangiku under the moon and stars before she was taken from me to marry your father and from that we got you. I know it is hard to have Sosuke as your father and with recent turn of events he has tried to pit you against your brothers and I must say I am very proud of the way you have handled yourself. And if I may suggest one thing, although it is alright to indulge in a nap or two I would tell you to always keep one eye open because I have a sneaky suspicion we haven't heard the last of Sosuke yet.

Ichigo I haven't always been the type of father you have needed or always been there when you needed and I know by forcing you to marry I have put more stress on you than you should have to endure. I want you to be happy my son and if it was in my power and if I was blessed with another son that was able take my thrown, I want you to know that I would willingly give you to the soldier that you have loved for so long and so deeply. Yes son I know and I have known for a long time now. You are rather loud on the nights he visits.

And finally to my youngest Toshiro, with recent secrets revealed I shouldn't have to tell you that your mother and I are...were in love. After your eldest brother died your mother was crushed and when Ichigo's mother died so was I and selfishly we seek solace in each other. Your father was unable to have children we all knew this and I thought when he found out about you he would kill your mother but instead he chose to ignore it. I know I should have ended things with Retsu then but I loved her so much, needed her so much and besides you kids we were alone. Please understand son how sorry I am for my part in the lost of your mother. The pain I feel in my soul the emptiness I feel I hope to never have my sons feel this, the sorrow and the weight of having the one you love lost because of your own arrogance and foolishness. And if Toshiro you can never forgive me for the hole I have placed in your heart I want you to know that I understand.

So in closing I want you all to know that I write this letter as a bearing of my soul for you to know that your friendship runs deeper than you could have ever imagined and in the coming days if I shall have to go to war with your fathers I want you three to never lose sight of or forget the bond you share because you are more than three friends, more than three princes you are…

Three brothers.

A/N:I want you all to know how weird it is to write lemons while sitting in Starbucks next to an elderly couple, I just pray they were as visually challenged as they looked, if I not I do believe I just ruined their Starbucks experience for good. I know I left you with a cliffhanger ending but I think you should imagine for yourself how the three are going to take the news. But anywho thanx again-Hydekll
