Pillow Talk
(You can tell a lot about a couple by the way they are when they're alone)
Probably not canon. But I can dream. Would take place sometime after chapter 1.
He likes it when her horns chafe at his neck.
They spoon frequently and she settles under his chin.
His arms circle the soft skin of her waist. She keeps his arms there.
"Let's give each other silly pet names!" She twitches excitedly and butts her head into his jaw.
He winces. They told him the Inoue woman was the weird one.
"Fine."
She poked him.
"You start."
"Honeyhooves."
She playfully kicked him in response.
"Roughlick."
Grimmjow licked her neck slowly. She sighed happily.
"Stripeface."
Nel cuddled closer.
"Jawbone."
He stroked his chin thoughtfully.
They started laughing.
"Nel, those weren't silly at all."
"I guess it's hard for me to make fun of you."
"Good."
He squeezed her waist tighter.
She twisted around.
"How come it didn't take you long to come up with 'Honeyhooves'?"
"Well-"
He coughed softly.
"You've been thinking of me as that for some time?"
"You came up with 'Roughlick' right away, is that your name for me in your head?"
"Your tongue is like a cat's."
"You like it."
"I do."
She smiled slyly, idly tracing her finger on his chest.
He obliged her.
