Ulquiorra Schiffer:
First night sleeping in the same room as Grimmjow was…I don't know how to describe it. I was awake for the most of the night, because he purred while sleeping and made other annoying noises. So I just sat on my futon and watched him as he slumbered.
Once he rolled from his futon nearer to me. He mumbled in his sleep, but I found some parts understandable, but I didn't find the logic behind his words.
'' Ulquiorra…mmh…spank…mmrrh…me…''
Non-logical, that's what talking in your sleep often seems to be. I stood up and rolled him back to his futon with my feet. I do not know why I did that, now that I'm thinking about it, it seems very un-logical.
I thought that becoming a human has made me softer to the people around me.
Next morning we ate breakfast with only Urahara-san. Tessai, Jinta and Ururu had left to buy some groceries. Urahara-san was flipping through a newspaper humming quietly. Grimmjow ate so fast that I was sure that he'd have stomachache later.
'' So, how old are you two actually?'' Urahara-san suddenly asked.
I raised my eyebrows, I did not understand the reason for the question.
Grimmjow started to count something with his fingers. He got to eleven, when he asked '' How old? In human years before turning to a hollow? Or human life plus hollow life?''
''Whichever.''
I started to count in my mind, I didn't really need my fingers for that. I had become a hollow after committing suicide in the age of 21, and then I had been five years a hollow, and then three years an Espada. So that would make the total of 29 years.
Grimmjow was still counting when I told Urahara-san my total. Urahara-san grinned at me. '' You look much younger.''
Grimmjow quit his counting. '' I think I'm about 23 at the moment! Hahaha, I'm not an old geezer like Ulquiorra!''
Urahara-san turned his attention to Grimmjow. '' Oh, so young? I thought that you'd be older or same age as Ulquiorra.''
Grimmjow grinned. '' If I was older than that emo bastard, I wouldn't have been ranked the Sixth of Espada, I would've been number 4 instead of him. I'm strong enough for that, at least!''
I felt like punching Grimmjow, but did not do that. It would probably make Urahara-san think I'm rude, which I'm not.
''You're only six years younger than I am, Sixth.'' I mentioned with a cold tone.
Grimmjow just muttered under his breath ''bastard'', but I still could hear it.
I didn't say anything, just took another sip of my green tea.
Later that day Urahara-san told us, that he had gotten us jobs. He said, that he did not need any more helpers at his own shops, and so had asked jobs for us.
He had chosen a small book shop for me, and a clothing store for Grimmjow. I mentioned Urahara-san about our non-experience in customer service industry, but he just smiled and said that we would learn it fast enough. Grimmjow grinned and shrugged, I put my hands in my pockets and went to our room. I was interested in seeing what kind of books were on the bookcase in there, I had not had enough time for that yesterday.
The first book I picked to my hands was pornography. The second one was also pornography. The third one was a science-fiction novel, and the fourth was a collection of erotic short-stories. I did not feel any need to read those books, but Grimmjow might like them, but I wasn't actually sure if he was even able to read Japanese… That would be fitting for someone like him.
Urahara-san seemed even more perverted now, picking up those books for us.
I sighed and put the books back to the bookcase.
