"Depression?! I wasn't in a depression!" Grimmjow denies.
"Ignore your idiotic father boys. He was in a deep depression after you two had left and he wouldn't leave his room at all." Nnoitara laughs.
"Aww. Dad missed us so much!" Shiro snickers.
"We missed you too." Ichigo snuggles his face into the crook of Grimmjow's neck.
Grimmjow looked conflicted to whether or not he should feel angry with Shiro's teasing or melt at Ichigo's words.
He figured he should give shiro a light smack on the head and give Ichigo a small kiss on his forehead, that Ichigo didn't seem to mind. "I did miss you two a lot." He tells Ichigo.
Shiro whines in the background.
Grimmjow gives a playful sigh and kisses Shiro's forehead as well, making him beam in happiness.
"As much as I... Love this happy reunion... We need to figure out what to do with the Shinigami. They don't know that we have stopped our preparations for the now non-existent war." Szayel says.
"You just had to ruin the moment." Starrk pins him with a slight glare.
"Uncle Starrk!" The twins smile happily at their favorite uncle, only because Starrk gave them candy before without anyone knowing.
"Nice to have you two back. The halls of Las Noches was getting a bit too quiet." Starrk says, fighting back a yawn.
The twins snicker.
"That's not fair! You two are taller then me now!" Lilynette pouts.
"Well we were originally this tall." Shiro shrugs.
Lilynette huff's.
The twins attention the turns to Uliquiorra, who had been quiet the whole time.
"Uncle Orra. Do you still have those Shakespeare books? Can I borrow some?" Ichigo asks.
"Must you still call me by that nickname?" Uliquiorra asks first.
Ichigo chuckles while Shiro snickers again.
Uliquiorra refuses to sigh as he says "Very well. I will give you the books later.".
"So what was that I heard about stopping the war?" Shiro asks.
"Yes, well. I had decided that there was simply something much more important then the war and it seems as though everyone had agreed with my findings. So I have merely stopped every preparation for the war." Aizen says.
"What's more important?" Ichigo asks.
"The happiness of you two apparently." Grimmjow smiles as he answers for Aizen.
The twins gape openly.
"Any wider and the flies will make a home in there." Szayel says.
"Shut up Uncle Szayel! I still haven't forgiven you for not telling me anything!" Ichigo scowls. Szayel could tell it was half hearted though.
Szayel let's an amused smile creep into his face.
"Uncle Szayel you look like someone about to kidnap a child while thinking of ways to slowly torture them." Shiro says casually.
"Wha- I do not!" Szayel exclaims.
Grimmjow guaffaws.
Aizen looks amused and the rest of the Espada pale at the description.
"Must you make it sound so menacing?" Harribel asks.
"It's the first thing that popped in my head." Shiro shrugs.
"And it would have been the last if I wasn't holding Uncle Szayel back." Ichigo says, holding Szayel by the waist as Szayel looked like he was ready to murder someone.
Shiro chuckles.
"So. We'll tell the Shinigami that you have stopped the war... However..." Ichigo trails off.
"I'm guessing the Shinigami wouldn't take that so easily and would want to seal me?" Aizen finishes.
Ichigo slowly nods his head.
"Very well... I'll allow myself to be sealed." Aizen says with a slight frown.
"No! I'm not going to let that happen!" Ichigo glares.
"We're not going to let that happen." Shiro says, placing a hand on his brothers shoulder.
"What're you talking about? You're hollow." Ichigo says to his twin.
"I... I hate you, you know that?" Shiro deadpans.
"Not the first time you've said so." Ichigo waves a dismissive hand.
Shiro drops all jokes and looks down, guilty.
Ichigo turns around when he notices the sudden change in behavior.
"Shi-nii. That was ages ago. Besides, I hated you just as much back then." Ichigo says, knowing exactly what his brother was feeling.
"But... I'm older... I shouldn't have said those things... The older brother is born first... To protect the siblings that come after... Right?" Shiro grins.
"Did-... Did you just quote me?!" Ichigo exclaims with a look of embarrassment.
Shiro snickers more.
"What a great quote. I'll use that someday when I have my own kids." Grimmjow snickers along with shiro.
"Wait. You're going to have more kids?" Shiro stops and glares at Grimmjow.
"You can't!" Ichigo yells.
Grimmjow looks at them confused.
"Who did you hook up with?!"
"Why didn't you tell us?!"
"I don't want younger siblings!"
"Who'd want to hook up with you anyway?!"
"We refuse to allow this!"
Grimmjow blinks before bursting out in laughter.
The twins, to Grimmjow, were pouting.
The Espada have all stayed silent as they watch what Grimmjow was going to say.
"Are you boys...Perhaps... Jealous?" Grimmjow snickers.
"No we aren't!"
Grimmjow laughs harder at the denial.
"Aw. Well, you don't have to be. I'm not going to have anymore kids, that was just metaphorical. Hollows can't reproduce anyways." Grimmjow smirks as he hugs the two twins.
The twins melt in Grimmjow's arms before willingly hugging Grimmjow back.
"Hey wait. Didn't Ichigo say 'Who would want to hook up with me anyway'?" Grimmjow gives Ichigo a sweet smile.
"I-I was joking of course Dad!" Ichigo stammers.
"Oh I see." Grimmjow continues to smile.
Ichigo pales.
"Well, I'll deal with your punishment later." Grimmjow says as he lets the twins go.
"Why'd you have to say that anyways?" Shiro whispers to Ichigo.
"There wasn't anything else to say. Besides you would have eventually said it anyways." Ichigo grumbles.
"Touché..."
"So, you two will head into soul society and inform the Soutaichou about the circumstances. The war has ended... I wish I could come with you however, they will think that we have brainwashed you two." Aizen sighs, looking genuinely worried.
The meeting doors burst open and every captain and lieutenant enters.
"Would you mind repeating that, Aizen?" Unohana asks with her smile-that-could-get-even-the-great-soutaichou-to-obey.
"H-Hai." Aizen pales.
Of course it would effect Aizen too.
"U-Uncle Aizen is sweating." Ichigo and Shiro snicker loudly.
"What are you doing here Ichigo?!" Renji asks. "Scratch that! Did you just call him Uncle?!"
"I'll explain everything. Everyone sit." Ichigo says calmly.
The Shinigami all grip there Zanpakuto before sighing and reluctantly letting go.
"This is what happened-..."
