A/N:
This is just like a small filler chapter. Ha! It's short, I noticed that, but I figured you needed an update. Here you go!
Library: A place in which literary and artistic materials, such as books, periodicals, newspapers, pamphlets, prints, records, and tapes, are kept for reading, reference, or lending.
Three Days Later
Ichigo found himself walking the hallways, like he normally did after eating dinner these days. The teenager had become bored of the plain white rooms he was so accustomed to, and had taken a liking to walking to the Las Noches library and reading some of the thousands of books concealed there. Oftentimes, Ichigo would lose himself in a rather interesting novel, and look up to see that he had lost the whole night reading.
Ichigo continued along the route he had overly familiarized in his three days at Las Noches. Although the hallways had looked exactly the same as any other hallway, this one was easily recognizable by the teen. Following the same path he did every day, Ichigo took a right turn and noticed the elegant white door that led to the library he was so fond of. The hallways was silent, so Ichigo found himself not wanting to disrupt it as he gently opened the heavy door and closed it behind himself.
Books were everywhere. Thousands of pages of words that contained the knowledge that fueled our brains. Ichigo entered the empty room, and waltzed over to the romance-mystery section. He picked out a book written entirely in French, and at times like these, Ichigo was glad he had taken so many foreign language classes in high school.
Ichigo let his eyes wander across the page at a slower rate than normal, since French wasn't his native language, and the teenager was not perfect with reading French yet. He had only just reached the second page when he heard the quiet library door open and close quickly. He looked up and teal filled his vision.
"Grimmjow? What the hell are you doing here? Can you even read?" He inquired.
Grimmjow snarled and bared his teeth in an animal-like way at the man who was looking up at the intruder with scrutinizing eyes.
"Little fucker! Of course I can read. I came here to see what you were doing."
"Stalker?" Ichigo cocked his head to the side mockingly.
"Fuck you! You just keep coming here, and I wanted to know what you found so special about this dusty old place!" He yelled, his rage-filled voice breaking the innocent silence.
Ichigo laughed, which caused Grimmjow's eyes to widen in shock.
"D-Did you just laugh?"
"Yes I did." Ichigo stated proudly. His laugh was a rare thing indeed, Ichigo knew it was a shock to hear it. Grimmjow sure was lucky, first his smile, and now his laugh? This man was something else. It was like he brought out a whole other side to Ichigo, a less violent and more caring side.
Grimmjow swallowed. Ichigo's laugh was like a shock, it pulsed through his body slowly and intimidated the older boy greatly. It was like lightning striking him head on, he felt like falling to the ground suddenly. Ichigo's gaze drifted back to his book for a moment before it quickly flicked back to the other teenager in the room again. His eyes were questioning.
The orangette stared at the teen for a second before pursing his lips. "Are you just going to stand there?"
Grimmjow cleared his throat, and silently sat in the seat across from Ichigo. He didn't want to stay, but for some reason he sat down anyways. "What book are you reading anyways?"
"Un Brillant Avenir. It's in French."
Grimmjow game him a funny look. "Are you serious? You can read French?" Ichigo nodded.
"I always have." Grimmjow hummed, and watching his hands tap impatiently on the table. Now that they had ran out of things to talk about, the air around Ichigo and Grimmjow had become tense. Ichigo scratch the back of his head and scowled lightly.
Grimmjow hated the smell of books, the musky old paper smell. It had always made him sick to his stomach for some reason. He tried not to let it show, but he was feeling disgusted with the strong smell coming at him from all sides. Grimmjow let his head fall onto the table, as he let Ichigo continue reading the strange book quietly. The teal-haired man was bored, and sitting here in the smelly library with a boring teenager was making it much worse.
"Yo, berry-head. I'm leaving. You're way too boring to hang out with." The older teenager stood up slowly and watched as Ichigo's brown eyes lifted from his book to lock with his. Ichigo didn't say anything, he just watched the other man stand up and leave. Footsteps go softer and softer and it wasn't until Grimmjow had almost reached the exit when Ichigo spoke up.
"Thanks for talking with me, Grimmjow." Said man didn't say anything back, and when the door closed behind him, Grimmjow took off into a run. He couldn't wait to be back in his room, and safely away from the strange people like Ichigo. He didn't like things he wasn't used to.
…
Urahara walked down the halls, silently looking for something to entertain himself with. Unlike in the city, the underground hideout he was currently in did not contain anything relatively fun to do. In the restless city, Urahara could just walk on out of his base and into the street, and make his way down to the nearest casino or strip club. They were open at all times, everything was in the city that never sleeps. Those were his favorite things to do, since he was currently lacking a significant other to do other things with.
The blond man gasped as he saw a young man run down the hallway, and zoom right past him without even pausing for a moment or even sparing the older man a glance. Urahara recognized the boy from the other day, Grimmjow was it? The teenager that worked under Sousuke. He would remember that bright blue hair any day, it was almost a vibrant as Ichigo's orange locks. Ah youth and their wonders, Urahara thought as he continued walking down the hallways with a sly smirk adorning his fan-covered face. This was promising to be a very eventful trip indeed.
