Grimmjow's POV:
As soon as Ichigo's breathing evened out and steadied with sleep I slowly got up and searched out Urahara. I found him in the living room writing down notes of some kind as Ururu brought in tea for the both of us.
"I was wondering when you would see me. I have been wondering what to tell Ichigo's family and friends."
"Thank you Ururu for the tea. As for your question Ichigo is finally on the road to recovery his inner hollow was severely hurt then again a hollow found his real body after that he says he doesn't remember. But he is still healing so heal the body the mind is sure to follow. But the only way I could calm Ichigo's hollow self was to calm him and mark him as my mate and I was made as his protector. Ichigo's hollow will look to me for protection when he is unable to protect himself and also teaching and guidance."
"Ok Grimmjow I'll tell Ichigo's family what I can and his friends I will tell them some but the rest I will leave up to you and Ichigo. Ururu!"
"Yes sir."
"Please bring food for both Ichigo and Grimmjow be mindful that Ichigo hasn't eaten in a few weeks as a whole being so light foods."
"Yes sir."
"Thank you again Urahara. I must be getting back to Ichigo he will be waking up soon."
"Of course give Ichigo my regards."
"I will."
I exited the room and walked back to my lovely mates' room. Mate…just the word sent a pleasurable zing throughout my body. I walked in seeing Ichigo still asleep I closed the door behind me a laid down beside him. Instinctually he curled up beside me and laid his head on my chest giving a sigh of content. About 20 minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"Come in Ururu."
"Here are both your dinners I will set the beside the bed when you're done just set everything out in the hall I will pick it up."
"Thank you again Ururu."
"No problem Grimmjow."
Ururu walked out closing the door as I began to wake my sleeping mate.
"Ichigo…come on Ichigo time to wake up."
"Hmmmm…"
"Come on love I have some food for you but you have to wake up."
Ichigo's eyes slowly opened and looked at me with love in them. My mate slowly sat up and I sat behind him to be his back rest. Watching him eat so slowly and lovingly made me never want to let him go from my arms. As Ichigo finished the last of his meal he relaxed into my arms even further.
"Grimmjow?"
"Yes Ichigo."
"What are we? I know where something but I want to hear it from you."
"…What would you say if I said that you were my mate?"
"I would say a little freaked out but not against it. To be honest Grimmjow I have been crushing on you from a far for months now…I just didn't know how you would feel about me, let alone a male lover…"
"Oh my beautiful mate you should have come to me sooner for I too have had feelings for you for a while."
"I am so glad. It makes me so happy to hear you say that."
"We can get to know each other better while you get better I will never leave you Ichigo, my mate."
NO POV: ~Time Leap 1 week~
