Tia casually strolls up the side stairs that lead to her three-bedroom apartment, removes her keys, enters her walkway once she unlocks and locks it back behind her. She then reached down to tug off her outside shoes and slipped into her house slippers.
Her aqua eyes eventually took notice that there was only one pair of shoes, which was just hers, present at the entrance.
'I guess I'm the only one here.' Tia was inwardly presuming before recalling that fiasco of a trainwreck between her girlfriends at her job.
The blonde teen was so done and embarrassed with the lot that she crashed at a friend's house until those three hellions cooled their anger.
Her eyes repeatedly checked the entryway for a note but there was none so she opted to plop down on her living room couch to catch some z's.
'I hope Grimm's love life is going better than mine.' The teen silently wishes for her friend before a wave of exhaustion finally crashes over her body.

Grimmjow checks her side mirrors when she signals to carefully merge in with traffic while slightly twists the gas handle towards her body.
'So he's not scared…' The bluenette inwardly thinks since it was natural for those that did not ride often to hold some type of fear towards a motorcycle.
Not this one, his grip and posture showed he was relaxed, calm and mindful of being a passenger on the back of the two-wheeled vehicle.
'And I thought he would've copped a feel by now or at least bitch about being in the back,' The bluenette inwardly presumes as this was a reason why she did not allow male passengers.
She speedily exits off a ramp, catches the lights and follows the highway signs that read, "108 Serpentine's Valley MERGE LEFT" along with an arrow that points to the left.
The bluenette was following the twists and turns of the road until slowly motoring to park as close to the rail as she could before announcing, "We're here."
Ulquiorra took that as a sign that it was okay to hop off the bike so she could do the same thing right before his green eyes soon beheld the skyline of Karakura Town in blank awe.
"We would race each other on this hill…" She broke her silence once she stood slightly off to the side so she would not block his view.
"I thought you were more of a gangster on legs not on wheels." The raven-haired male genuinely expresses while he withdraws his medium sketchbook and a black pencil case from inside of his backpack.
"A biker gang was only the beginning, I want to conquer all of Karakura Town in the palm of my hand," Grimmjow admitted as she purposely cupped her hand to make it appear as if the town was in her palm.
"I'm not surprised at that ambitious dream of yours." Ulquiorra was remarking while lightly drafting the landscape across the piece of parchment.
"Every move you've tried to make backfires because your pride makes you too eager thus you wear your heart on your sleeve."
"Besides a dream, that ambitious isn't going to hide behind pretty words," He knowingly adds, which prompts the teen to briefly close her eyes.
A "hm" along with the retort, "Somewhere deep down in that empty shell of yours is a romantic,"
"And inadequacy is deep down in that prideful shell of yours." The raven-haired male easily counters while he darkens the edges of some of his broad lines.
"Yep, a sadistic romantic," Grimmjow deliberately tacked on from her previous comment as she took in the sights around her while she waited for him to finish his picture.
A few minutes pass when Ulquiorra finally breaks the comfortable silence between the two with "So what's next?"
The teen was unsure what he was asking so she was taking a minute for her to respond, "An engagement party to officially announce we're getting married."
He simply shook his head 'no' before he clarifies his previous question, "So what's next on the tour?"
She blushed out of embarrassment before she confessed, "I've been failing World History so I'll be stuck at home for a while,"
"Well next time, it'll be my treat." The male made known once he filled his back with his supplies and casually slung it over his shoulder.
A look of shock unexpectedly ghosts over her face as she startlingly proclaims, "So you're not surprised, I'm failing and should do better!"
"It just means you're human." Ulquiorra merely responds as she stands as still as a statue.
"You're really…whatever," She could even find the right word to describe his personality at this moment other than whatever.
"Besides, I'll be busy with work and art projects." He chimed in as he approached the motorcycle then turned toward her once she drew closer to him.
Grimmjow suddenly pouts when a hand gently pats the crowd of her head and encourages, "You got this."
Her cheeks were as red as a tomato at the comment while she preps them for their ride back into town.
"You sly bastard." She honestly surmised before she cranked the engine up and speed off up the curb on the Sepertine's Valley.

Nnoitora heard a knock at the door, which earned his curiosity since none of the servants immediately greeted their guests.
Were these guests of his parents or for him? Either way, it goes it violates the Gilga household polices and the violator shall be punished accordingly.
A blonde male soon appeared in front of him with a parcel in his possession. It was a white envelope with the Jaegaerjaques emblem embossed on the red circle of wax that bound the edges together.
"Young master," The brunette eyed the envelope before he ordered "Open and read it,"
The male servant instantly nods his head and carefully uses a sharp edge of the crescent dagger to cut a hole on the side and slide its contents out.
"You are cordially invited to the Pantera Azul for the engagement party of Jaegerjaques Grimmjow this Friday at 8:00 pm sharp." He reads verbatim before he directs his sights on to his master.
"So the crazy blue-haired bitch is getting married? Interesting." The tall slender male genuinely opines about the invitation for an engagement party.

Nelliel audibly heaved a heavy sigh once she finally entered her parents' two-storied home and barely left her shoes at the entryway.
"I'm home!" She loudly announces with the hope that someone would respond to her. Footsteps were heard in the kitchen along with a "Welcome home!" from her adoptive brothers.
A wide smile visibly graces her face before she feels something warm bubbles in her chest at the greeting from family members.
The green-haired teen maneuvered closer and gently presses a kiss to their cheeks as she greets them when she notices a solid black snake slithers from within Dondachakka's shirt.
"Hey there Bawabawa," She adds while she tenderly pets the pet snake's, with a pink and white birthmark around its nose, head.
"You have some mail on the table," Dondachakka informed his sister once Bawabawa leisurely slithered back inside his shirt for body heat.
Her eyes cut over to the mail, which was already sorted, and spotted a white envelope with her name written in eloquent handwriting on it.
Nelliel gently flipped it over, noted the family's embossed seal, and blankly stared at it for a while.
"Donda…who dropped this off?" She instantly questions while she gently shakes the parcel up and down by her ear to see if there was anything inside of it.
He was physically shrugging his shoulders before revealing, "It was already on the table when we got here."
Her eyes slightly widen at the statement when she abruptly made known, "I'll take my bath before I eat."
An "eh" piercingly shrills from Pesche who angrily shouts, "…but dinner's almost ready!"
Yet, it fell on deaf ears as the green-haired female quickly disappears from their sights.
"Pesche…should we be worried?" The googly-eyed male nervously needles at the sudden change in their sister's tone and behavior.
"Maybe it's none of our business…" He offhandedly commented after he completely coated a prawn in panko bread crumbs while Dondachakka peered back at the staircase.

Grimmjow gently kicks her kickstand and carefully props it on the metallic spike once she arrives at a townhouse with Cifer engrave on the nameplate.
Ulquiorra bounds off the bike, remove his helmet and hands it over to its rightful owner. The teenage girl amusingly chuckled at his wild helmet hair once she securely attached it to peg on the side.
"I'll see you in a few days." She mentions, which earns a nod from the raven-haired male.
The blunette lifts the stance with the heel of her foot, twists the accelerator and motors off towards her home.
"The least you could've done was kiss the girl." He was suddenly overhearing his mother's voice before noticing that she was in her work clothes unlocking their front gate.
"We really need to teach you how to read women's cues." She bluntly tossed in once she entered their yard and left the gate open for her son.
An "as if" slips from his lips while he locks the gate behind him and retires for the night.
