Ulquiorra Schiffer:

We have been living in the Urahara-san's house two months for now. The bookshop I work at is a very calm and quiet place, so I am able to enjoy myself there.

Everyday, when our work is finished I walk home with Grimmjow. Usually we do not talk much, but lately Grimmjow has been more talkative.

Some days ago we talked about homosexuality, Grimmjow told me that he had been asked if he was gay. He had had to admit to the asker that did not know what a gay actually is. I explained him what a homosexual is and he blushed scarlet red and started walking faster.

That was the first time I actually started to think about my own sexuality. Never in my life as an arrancar I had felt affected to a person. I didn't remember if I had experienced anything that could be considered as sexual in my human life either.

When we arrived home Grimmjow rushed up the stairs and went to our room, closed the door right in front of my face, and told me to leave him alone for a while. I did not understand the reason for his sudden strange behavior, but I let him be.

I went to take a bath, I had been sweating today at work while washing the windows from outside. It had been very sunny and hot today, too hot for my tastes.

After the bath I went to our room and found it empty. I took clean clothes for myself from a box I had bought last week. I chose a black t-shirt and black tight-fitting jeans. I decided not to wear socks, and went downstairs looking for Grimmjow. I didn't actually even know why I searched for him, maybe I just wanted an explanation for his behavior.

Grimmjow was not downstairs, so I went outside the house. Ururu-san was sweeping with Jinta-san.

'' Have you seen Grimmjow, children?''

Ururu-san nodded, and Jinta-san said '' He left some moments ago, mumbling to himself. It was a bit weird.''

I nodded. '' Do you have any I idea about where he might have gone?''

Jinta-san shrugged, Ururu-san just looked sad.

Tanned warm hand appeared to my shoulder. '' You had some business with me, Ulquiorra?''

Grimmjow. I turned around. '' Yes.''

Then I noticed the roses in his other hand, blood red and tall. His cheeks were blushed faintly. He shrugged and pushed the roses to me. '' For you. Thank you for telling me all that stuff, it sure helped me a lot.''

I could not help myself, I just stared at him, and then the roses.

'' I do not understand why you are giving me these…'' I said lifting my gaze to him.

''I told you already, didn't you hear?! You helped me, and this is my thanks to you!''

I closed my eyes to hide the emotions that suddenly rushed inside me. ''I see. Then I should thank you.''

I opened my eyes, only to see Grimmjow look away from me. I heard Jinta-san laugh at Grimmjow, Ururu-san tried to stop it.

I sighed, I was confused. I truly did not understand Grimmjow at all.

That evening just before I fell asleep I heard Grimmjow say quietly to me '' I think I'm gay.'' I did not react in any way to show him I had heard his words.

Authors Note: Thank you for reading, once again. The next chapter will be up soon. This is the shortest chapter so far, and it wasn't easy to write from Ulquiorra's point of view, he's so...calm.
