A groan left his lips; Nnoitra glanced at him with a look of pity as he offered up his other hand to the children, the pair now using pink nail polish.
"Nnoitra yer kids gonna end up taking it up the a-"
"Grimmjow Jaegerjaques you finish that sentence and I will beat you senseless with a fucking brick," Neliel growled, slamming down another jug of beer between them. The pair watched her reenter the house, sighing in relief when the door was closed, making it safe to talk freely again.
"He's pretty weak and jus' follows what he's told, Tes ain't got much personality yet but I guess that's better then what Nel or I were like as kids. But he smiles around Ushio so that's fuckin' better then nothing and the sparkles in the pink really suit ya Grimm brings out the blue in yer eyes," Nnoitra muttered, finally getting up to turn the sausages and burgers over, everything now burnt on one side. Grimmjow just flipped him off with his free hand.
"That's bad Papa." He smirked ruffling Ushio's hair, she was such a good kid.
"Can you paint my nails? I want mine to match yours Papa." He'd never painted anyones nails before in his life.
"Sure precious of course, come sit on my lap. It won't look as pretty as mine, yer a nail artist Ushio, I might end up painting most of yer fingers in the end cause yer papa's never done this before, that okay with ya?" Ushio beamed up at him nodding, launching herself into his lap.
"Yo Tesla come help me cook ya know I'm a shitty chef," Nnoitra muttered, gesturing for his son to join him so he wasn't just standing there. The kid was probably a robot in disguise.
"Nnoi yer kid ever speak?"Grimm asked, realising he had never heard the boy cry as a babe let alone say a word to anyone.
"Nah, doc says there ain't anything wrong with him, he'll speak when he's ready." Grimmjow sighed wishing that that were the only problem he had with life. All he'd been doing recently was hiding out in Nnoitra's house playing dolls and crap with the kids. Ichigo was doing all the real work and all along too, she couldn't even see Ushio anymore until this was all over.
"When's Shiro and Gin arriving? I cannot wait to see her daughter, she must be so cute!" Nel said bouncing in excitement as she brought out the actual meet for the BBQ they were hosting. Nnoitra just cooking lunch for Grimm and him till the others arrived.
"'M not to sure love but Hal just texted me and they're on their way over now and yes Starrk is in the car already," he replied kissed her. Grimm groaned, it was killing him to not be with Ichigo, to be able to kiss and touch her. It was worse then that soon enough Shiro would be here and he would be completely riddled with guilt that he woudn't be able to talk to her let alone look at her. She had suffered so much with Ichigo's death, worse then he had and Grimmjow couldn't even tell her that her twin was still alive. It made him miserable. Shiro was constantly angry with him because she thought he was ignoring her. Maybe he should just tell her that Shiro reminded him too much of ichigo and with everything that had just happened he was hurting over his memories of her. Hell Shiro might even believe it with how horrible he currently looked. Nnoitra looked over at him with concern, his best friend looked so miserable, the beard he had started growing didn't help either.
"Yo Grimm maybe ya should shave, ya starting ta look a bit like a hobo." Grimmjow looked up at Nnoitra glaring at him, what the hell was he even thinking saying he looked like a hobo.
"I do not look like a fucking hobo Nnoi, ya do!" he growled, slamming a fist into the table, wanting to punch the man.
"Watch ya language and no fighting," Neliel hissed, slapping him across the back of the head.
"But he is right you are beginning to look a little shady Grimmjow." He scowled at her running a hand across the stubble only to be surprised when his fingers came into contact with a fully blown beard. Sure it wasn't that long but he figured he had about an inch of hair covering his face. Okay he would except defeat on that one. He never looked good with a beard.
"Can ya grow facial hair Nnoitra?" he hollered.
"No, hell I can't even grow fucking stubble. Yer stuck with it a Grimmjow," he replied, howling with laughter at the mans face. His annoyed face was ten times less threatening with the beard covering up his infamous scowl.
"Woah Grimmy yer sporting a crazy beard there! Midlife crisis or homeless?" scowling deepening he leaned back to glare at Gin. Then sighed.
"Little bit of A. little bit of B. actually I am currently homeless since I refuse to live with that bastard and I haven't found a new place since my last one was shot up by deranged gun men," he muttered, offering the man a beer as he sat down. Gin nodded sagely, downing the beer in less then ten seconds adding the bottle to Grimmjows tower.
"Shiro still not letting ya drink?"
"Yeah. Can't drink, smoke or steal around the baby. Nor swear and plot murders, the other thing I can't do is watch porn. Something I stopped doing long before a met Koi," he grumbled grabbing another beer, watching the door with his eyes open, a rare sight indeed.
"Please tell me ya stopped watching porn cause yer wife is hot," Nnoitra said, offering Gin a selection of burnt meat.
"That a sausage?"
"I think so, cover it in sauce and bread and ya won't even be able ta tell the difference between anything else on the plate." Grimm nodded at his words of wisdom having had to do it several times today already.
"I'll trust yer words then and fer fucks sake Nnoi a course I gave up porn. What I can't believe is that koi caught on ter mah stealing habits," he grumbled, slumping in the chair. The pair laughed at his words. Of all the things to be worried about! Arms wrapped around his shoulders tightly, white hair spilling over his shoulder.
"Shiro." He placed his hands on top of hers, gripping tightly. A small smile was on her face as she greeted him with a kiss to the cheek.
"Oh Grimmjow, I'm sorry about Sunako."
