Theme #29: Fun

For c. cristina

Happy Birthday!


Rangiku sighed.

Today was a rather dull and gloomy day. The sky was grey, rain pattered against the window pane, there was absolutely nothing to do, and save for the occasional burst of laughter coming from the living room, silence ran through the very veins of the house. Dull, dull, dull.

Rangiku was dying to go out and have some fun, and she would have done just that if not for her husband, Hyourinmaru. Hyourinmaru, being the worry wart that he was, would not let her go out and drive in the rain to meet her friends at the mall because he worried that she might meet with an accident.

"Really now," she said to herself as she stared out of the window and into the rain. "It's nothing more than a drizzle."

As soon as those words stumbled out of her mouth, the rain grew so thick that it was difficult to see.

"I'd still be able to drive in that."

Lightning struck, followed with a roll of thunder.

She pouted. At least her children, Nelliel and Grimmjow, had their friend, Ulquiorra, over. She had not seen her own friends in ages. Annoyed, she began preparing some drinks, already devising a plan to maybe sneak out later tonight to meet her friends, when she felt a small tug on the hem of her skirt.

"Hm?" She looked down and saw her daughter, Nelliel, gazing up at her with expectant eyes. "Yes, Nel?"

"Mama, have you seen ma white dress?"

"Your dress?" Rangiku said as she raised an eyebrow. "What do you need it for?" She hoped that Nelliel was not thinking of dressing up the family cat again. Poor Nelliel had cried her eyes out after being scratched by the cat for doing that.

"For wedding!" Nelliel said, clapping her hands together in excitement. "For wedding! Big bwother is getting married!"

... But then again, if it was Grimmjow, this might be amusing.

Having to postpone her outing with the girls did not seem so bad now.

"A wedding, huh?" she said, a smile tugging at the edges of her lips. Nelliel nodded in confirmation, her eyes shining. "I think I know where I put that dress of yours..."

After locating the dress and handing it over to Nelliel, Rangiku went to the living room, where the "wedding" would be held, and waited there with Hyourinmaru, and surprisingly, her six year old son, Grimmjow. She furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. She had expected Grimmjow to be dragged upstairs by Nelliel to get dressed, and yet, here he was, sitting on the carpet looking rather anxious. She did not question it, though, thinking that perhaps Nelliel had gone to look for some accessories for Grimmjow to wear. It would not be too farfetched to think that since the girl had even put a trail of toilet paper from the top of the stairs to the living room, claiming that it would be the aisle for the bride to walk on.

A few minutes later, Nelliel appeared at the top of the stairs, and exclaimed importantly;

"Attenshun, everyone! The bride is here! Here comes the bride, here comes the bride!"

What Rangiku saw at the top of the stairs nearly made her fall off the couch with laughter.

There, right next to Nelliel, was Momo Hinamori's four year old son, Ulquiorra Cifer. He was wearing Nelliel's dress, his hair tied in pigtails, and a bouquet of... dandelions in his hands. The fact that he was wearing a dress did not seem to bother him in the least, though. He just walked down the toilet paper aisle calmly and gracefully until he reached Grimmjow's side.

He kicked Grimmjow's foot lightly. "Get up."

Grimmjow scowled at that, something that looked suspiciously like a blush adorning his cheeks. He had been staring at Ulquiorra the moment the boy had appeared at the top of the stairs with Nelliel.

Well, Rangiku had to admit; for a boy, Ulquiorra did look rather adorable in that dress.

Goodness, where was the camera? She would have to take a picture of the "newlyweds" later.

"Che, whatever. I can't believe I agreed to something this lame." Grimmjow got up and stuck his hands into his pockets, his lower lip stuck out in a pout. Rangiku noted that though Grimmjow did not bother to change into something nice, the boy did take care in looking tidy, and had even washed his hands and knees, which were usually covered in dirt. "Hurry up and get on with it, Nel," Grimmjow grumbled. "I wanna go play video games after all of this is done."

"'Kay!" Nelliel scrambled to get in front of the soon to be "newlyweds", grabbed a random book and opened it. She cleared her throat, her expression now serious. "Do you, Ulqui- Ulqui- Ulqui-" She had difficulty in pronouncing his name.

"Ulquiorra," Ulquiorra said.

"Ulqui-oh-wha Cifer take my big bwother, Grimmyjow Jaegerjaquez, to be your husband?"

Rangiku had to try her best not to giggle. This was just too cute for words.

What made the scene even cuter was the way Grimmjow kept stealing glances at Ulquiorra, and how the blush on his face deepened when Ulquiorra said "I do."

The boy was absolutely smitten. Adorable!

Seeing the disapproving look on Hyourinmaru's face, Rangiku nudged him in the elbow and said, "Relax. It's all in good fun. He'll probably freak out later when he finds out Ulqui's a boy too."

Hyourinmaru relaxed visibly at that, though the look of disapproval was still apparent on his face. "I suppose..."


Twenty years later, Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez and Ulquiorra Cifer stood next to each other in front of a priest at a church, the both of them smartly dressed in black suits.

"... Through sickness and in health, for richer for poorer, till death do you part?"

When the priest finally reached the end of it all, Ulquiorra said the same words he had said twenty years ago;

"I do."

Grimmjow grinned at that. He barely heard the priest say, "You may kiss the groom" when he pulled Ulquiorra toward him.

"C'mere, you," he said playfully before crushing his lips against pale ones. Then, unable to help it, he broke the kiss and whispered into Ulquiorra's ear, "You look sexy as fuck in that suit, but I can't say that I don't miss that dress." For that, he earned a soft punch in the arm.

"Idiot," Ulquiorra scolded, blushing.

Grimmjow just laughed, and kissed Ulquiorra once more.

Somewhere in the crowd that had come to Grimmjow and Ulquiorra's wedding, Hyourinmaru leaned toward Rangiku, and muttered to her, "I'm still waiting for him to freak out. Is that going to happen anytime soon?"

"Oh, shush."


DIOR: Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Kitty, happy birthday to you XD Lalala, is this fic fluffy and cute enough for you, Kitty? Seriously, my brain is not made for fluff at the moment. You better like this or I shall smite you B| Oh, and I hope you had an awesome birthday 8D *multiple personality, wut*

Oh, and Hyourinmaru is Grimmy and Nel's dad here! Usually, I like Gin and Rangiku as Grimm's parents, but I kinda like Hyourinmaru as his dad too (just that I don't really have anyone to pair him up with, but I think Ran works fine c:) because he reminds me of Grimmjow. :P
