Heaven

"Ulquiorra." a gentle call from a pile of bed sheets. He ignored it to keep dressing. "I was thinking...." the plea for attention was quiet but there. He turned for the briefest moment in acknowledgment, then continued to button up his jacket. "Heaven. Do you believe in it?"

He stilled, silent, before turning to look at blue eyes that stared at him, begging for assurance. Of what, he didn't know, but he wasn't about to sugar coat anything.

"There is no such thing." Blue eyes looked away, darkening, disappointed. He stepped closer to the bed, leaning over the pile of bed sheets. "But this. This right now is hell." he leaned over, kissed the sixth's forehead. "And it's also heaven."
