"So Grimmjow. How's Tokyo treating ya?" Grimmjow snorted as he shut the top of the car and whipped his greasy hands with a rag before sending old friend Yammy a cocky grin.
"Well let's see. Got a huge apartment that's on a discount. Yay. I'm far away from that bitch. That deserves a yippee. Get to work with grease all day in a well known shop. Whoop. Already have four numbers slipped into my pockets. Booyah! Ao's making actual friends. Whoopee. Oh and his caretaker's sex on legs. Boom chica bow wow. Seeing your ugly mug every day? Boo." He got a wrench thrown his way at the last part making him and his other co-workers laugh.
Urahara's Repairs. It was actually a rather large section of Urahara's real business which was a successful law firm he owned with other branches all over Japan. He had built the huge mechanics shop beside the main branch which was a large skyscraper and Grimmjow planned to never go inside the building with all those lawyers in suits. It was a large garage that could fit up to thirty huge monster trucks, though Grimmjow thought that was a bit of an exaggeration but it was close enough, with all kinds of equipment all over the place. Grimmjow had found out that Urahara had done some kind of engineering side course so he decided to make the auto shop. There was a waiting section for customers to wait if their repairs wouldn't take a long time and the shop had about twenty mechanics that rotated their shifts. All in all, Grimmjow loved his new job and he had only been working there for fours hours.
"Hey guys! Why don't we celebrate Grimmjow finally joining us in the city!" Grimmjow glared at the seven foot lanky man who had wrapped his arm around his broad shoulders and showed off his piano teeth with a smile.
"Yeah! Let's go to a bar!" Yammy, the forever drunk, bellowed with fists in the air.
"Fuck no! Who wants to carry your drunk ass all over the place? Strip club!" Yoruichi bellowed from under a BMW then muttered a curse word for hitting her head. Probably the most beautiful woman Grimmjow had ever met but he expected to meet more, him being him, plus she didn't seem interested if the way she kept staring at women with large bosoms was anything to go by. Grimmjow wondered where her logic was even coming from because as far as he knew strip clubs served alcohol.
"Strip club!" Nnoitra agreed, already sure of the perfect place he and Yoruichi had frequented. The purple haired woman and the giant sent each other a thumbs up.
"Guys. I have a kid. Can't exactly do the whole all nighters thing anymore." Grimmjow told them, making Nnoitra frown slightly but his grin came back again with full force.
"Just let Ichigo babysit. He lives in the same building as you do." Nnoitra said, remembering the times he would crash on Ichigo's couch as well as he remembered Grimmjow's address...being right across from him actually. It was starting to get interesting.
Grimmjow was surprised to hear this. "Seriously?...I don't really know the guy, how am I supposed to trust him with my kid?" Grimmjow asked with folded arms.
He was suddenly bombarded with his friends looking at him with bright and glinting eyes filled with awe and determination. "Itsygo-kun's an angel!~ Grimmy he's the sweetest guy on the planet." Nel bellowed, her sea foam green hair swaying behind her. She's Grimmjow's adopted sister, his father having adopted her when he was just five years and she was two. She was going through college in Tokyo so he was glad to be around her more because Nel had the tendency to get herself in trouble. He was surprised to hear her say that though because Nel had more issues with trusting than Grimmjow did, she barely even trusted Halibel and they had known each other for eight years. "Dude you wouldn't even be able to understand how nice of a guy he is. He's Ulquiorra's best friend. That's enough proof ain't it?" Grimmjow's eyes widened at what Nnoitra had said. Ulquiorra? Emotionless Ulquiorra that had something bad to say about everything and anything? The guy that calls all humans trash? Grimmjow's cousin Ulquiorra? Was there another Ulquiorra because it just didn't make sense.
"He makes the best pies too!" Yammy, you fucking gluten.
"He lets me sleep on his bed when Hal kicks me out." Stark...just what the fuck?
"He's my cute little baby! I was his sensei when I used to teach athletics." Yoruichi told Grimmjow with a motherly look on her face. He sighed loudly to make them shut up.
"I'll ask him. If he says he can't then I won't go." They cheered like high schoolers after that making Grimmjow smile slightly to himself.
I missed you guys.
"Hey. I'm here to pick up my son. Aokishi is his name." Grimmjow said to the receptionist in front of the daycare. He had remembered walking past the front desk when Ichigo had brought him in but he was sure he hadn't seen the boy in front of him. He only remembered two other workers and that was it.
The boy, his name tag reading Hanataro, smiled up at Grimmjow shyly. "Yes. He's the only child left and he's in the playroom with Ichigo-sama." The boy informed Grimmjow, pointing to an open door down the hall where Grimmjow could hear a musical laugh and his son's giggles.
He had gotten off work at 5:30 pm and he was supposed to expect the guys to pick him up at around seven. He hoped Ichigo would say no because he didn't really want to spend a night away from Ao. He could remember the last night he had actually gone out with some friends being the week before he knew about Aokishi's birth. He...wasn't used to not being there as Ao slept.
He nodded in thanks and walked towards the room. He was surprised to see Aokishi standing behind Ichigo who sat monk style on the play mats and was braiding his orange hair with a wide grin on his face. "You have amazing hair Ichigo-sama!~" Aokishi praised with a pinkish hue on his cheeks. Grimmjow rose an eyebrow at this. What's with the sama?
Ichigo let out a breath of a laugh that made Grimmjow feel some kind of warmth. He leaned against the doorpost, waiting for the two to notice his presence.
"Why thank you Aokishi-kun. Do you usually braid people's hair?" Ichigo asked with a small smile on his face. It was so cute and it made Grimmjow's lips twitch slightly but it turned into a frown when Ao blushed. His son could walk in on a couple fucking and just make fun of them, he didn't blush. He had no shame so...Well I'll be damned. My boy has a crush on his teacher.
"N-NO! I...I just like your hair." Aokishi mumbled as he finished the third braid and made to hide his face but Ichigo laughed and pulled him into a hug. Aokishi tried getting away so that he could hide his blush but Ichigo kept his hold strong.
"It's okay Aokishi-kun. I like your hair too." Ichigo told the boy with a kind smile that widened slightly when Aokishi looked up at him with a shy expression.
"I see you two are getting along." Grimmjow interrupted...whatever it was that was happening in front of his eyes.
Ichigo looked up at him with wide and surprised eyes that froze Grimmjow for a moment. Damn those amber eyes were really something else. Then the orange head dropped the soft look and gave him a small glare which surprised Grimmjow until he remembered the Berry comment making him smirk at the shorter man.
"Daddy!" Aokishi exclaimed as he ran out of Ichigo's arms, laughing loudly when Grimmjow lifted him up and pressed a kiss to both his chubby cheeks.
"Kami I missed your smart ass comments. How was your day?" Grimmjow asked the little piece of heaven in his arms. He can honestly say he would've worshiped that woman for giving him the little miracle if she wasn't a demon.
"Missed you too old man. Ichigo-sama's the coolest person after you! He took us all to this park and he let me have ice cream and then he was there to help this girl get her cat from the tree and Dad you wouldn't believe it!' Aokishi rambled on making Grimmjow smile at Ichigo who smiled back but with a small blush to his cheeks in embarrassment.
"What wouldn't I believe?" Grimmjow asked with a small chuckle as he moved out of the way to let Ichigo pass first, then they started leaving the room together as Aokishi praised Ichigo like was his god after Grimmjow had placed him back on his feet and held his small hand.
"He has a big brother and they look exactly the same and he's so cool too. Like scary cool. He's Mitsue's dad! He has these really cool eyes too! Like the white parts are black! Why aren't mine like that?! It'd be so amazing." Grimmjow seemed confused at hearing that someone's sclera was black which didn't seem to be natural. Ichigo gave him shy smile and explained, "He had them done that way when he went to America. Thought it would be cool to have his eyes tattooed." Grimmjow hummed in understanding.
"Daddy can I turn my eyes black too?!" Aokishi asked excitedly.
"Sure. When I'm good and dead." Grimmjow said with an overly large smile on his face and he laughed when Aokishi's face fell at the thought of his daddy dying.
Ichigo stopped by the receptionist desk to see Hanataro out and check over some files. Grimmjow and Aokishi patiently waited for the other which seemed to surprise him when he was done with his work.
"You didn't have to." Ichigo said with furrowed eyebrows as he locked up the building and walked beside Aokishi who was in between Grimmjow and him.
"No big deal. Besides, I wanted to ask you something." Grimmjow asked, a little too distracted with his son who kept trying to run ahead to notice that the man beside his son was looking very nervous and had a blush adorning his cheeks. It wasn't exactly his fault for thinking, even if it was only for a second, that Grimmjow was going to maybe ask him out. His statement was usually how everyone started their requests for him to go on a date with them.
"What is it?" Ichigo asked, jumping only a little when he felt his phone buzz in his trousers.
He brought it out, findings text while he listened to what Grimmjow was asking him.
"Nnoitra was all about asking you to watch over Ao for me while they took me out for some…welcoming party or what the fuck ever. So will you do it?" Please say no. Please say no. Can't back out if you say yes so for everything that is holy and beautiful in this world say No!
"I'm sorry but…I've got something to do. Another time maybe. Besides, you shouldn't just hand over your child to someone you just met unsupervised." Ichigo half-heartedly scolded with a scowl on his face. That text brought out a considerable amount of anger in him that he didn't want to show around Aokishi and Grimmjow.
Grimmjow would've started praising Buddha there and then if it wasn't for the troubled look on Ichigo's face and how the other was chewing on his right thumb furiously, like it was some kind of nervous habit.
"Something wrong Ichi-sama?" Ichigo blinked out of his thoughts, looked down to see Aokishi looking at him with worry in his eyes and the orange head couldn't help but to smile.
"Nothing. It's just someone calling from my other job. So Aokishi-kun guess what? We're living in the same building? Isn't that something?" Grimmjow's eyebrows nearly went past his hairline because his son, his own manly flesh and blood, giggled like an excited schoolgirl.
"That's awesome! I get more time with Ichi-sama than anyone!" Why? What's with the immense joy? Why is his boy acting so…adorable? What is Ichigo to these children?
Grimmow blinked when he saw Ichigo smiling at him and hoped with everything in him that his cheeks weren't displaying how hot they felt. He's a grown fucking man. He didn't...blush around people he found attractive. He charmed the fuck out of them until they're begging him to just take them away. This is different because Ichigo seemed differet. Also the guy's watching over his kid. It'd be really stupid to piss him off with a one night sand
"You have an amazing child. He's very smart and took over my class in a matter of minutes. Obviously a charismatic one though he was rather rough with a few of the boys at first." Ichigo informed Grimmjow, remembering that was what he did towards new parents after a day with their children.
They were at their apartment building, the group entering the elevator and carrying on with their conversation though it was just Ichigo talking about Aokishi, Ao blushing in embarrassment and Grimmjow not hearing a thing but was instead staring at Ichigo's full, warm and moving lips.
"Well this is me. Good night Mr. Jaegerjaquez. See you tomorrow Aokishi-kun." Grimmjow jumped a little. When had they gotten of the elevator? When had they gotten to Ichigo's apartment? It right beside mine.
"Night Ichi-sama! See you tomorrow!" Aokishi waved jovially even though Ichigo was just in front of him opening his apartment door with a chuckle before disappearing behind said door.
Both Jaegerjaquez men stood there for a few extra seconds who're turning around and entering their own home. They could barely contain their joy with te universe's choice for their next door neighbor.
"Oh my fucking gooooooood!" Grimmjow groaned before falling face first into their cloud like black couch, groaning for extra dramatic effect into the cushion. Then again, it could just be his son who had done the same as Grimmjow except he fell face first on his father's back. I know it's been long since I've so much as had someone else touch down there, four years to be exact, but honestly. Blushing? Ichigo must think I'm a fucking loser. How lame am I?!
"I'm gonna marry Ichi-sama someday." Grimmjow nearly choked on his spit and crapped himself at the same time. That was how shocked he was. Shocked enough to shit in his jeans.
"Whoa! ...Whoa." Grimmjow said getting off and placing his giggling son on his lap to stare at him.
"You do realize you're like a tiny person and Ichigo is a grown up. Grown ups don't marry tiny people like you and why the fuck are you thinking of marriage? Did I miss your teenage years by accident? Hmm? Are you that weird child that was born at ninety and aged backwards? Hmm?! You are my baby boy. No dating, holding hands or marriage for you. Ever. Especially not your caretaker who's a million years older than you. Nah uh. No way. What did he do to my lovely, tough and still slightly innocent boy?" Grimmjow was panicking and nervous at the same time which resulted in him rubbing his cheek against a laughing Aokishi while he blabbers about losing his precious baby to good looking teachers.
"Daddy!~ Ichi-sama said those words you use are bad. The F-word, B-words and S-words." Grimmjow could've fainted there and then. His son, the boy that had worshipped him, actually scolded him. He felt oddly betrayed and by his neighbor whom he found so very sexy and attractive and…going off course.
"Well 'Ichi-sama' could take his opinions and shove it up his…rectum. So my precious but rapidly changing blue fuzzball, what would it be for dinner?" Grimmjow asked and eight on cue his son started drooling with a dazed look in his eyes.
"Anything with beef." He drawled out, rubbing the loud and very annoying growling belly, making Grimmjow laugh as he headed for the kitchen.
"One order of ready-made microwaveable beef burgers, coming right up." He better not have thought Grimmjow was gonna cook from scratch. The last disaster was still so vivid in their minds.
Things may change and Aokishi may grow, Grimmjow dreading those damn teenage years, but he'd still be that meat loving son who was addicted to Cowboy Bebop.
Not even an orange headed hottie with a tight ass and gorgeous, painfully gorgeous smile, could change that.
The reminder of that ass made Grimmjow walk funny.
Hey.
Been a while.
I'm sorry. A lot has been going on on my end and not just school. I'm not fully over it but writing helps so I thought why not put up chapter two of this at least. I actually need to be beyond happy to even update BHS so give me a moment before I can do that. The only reason I was able to write this was hours of watching Gintama and laughing my ass off after weeks of crying. Again I'm really sorry.
Please review and tell me what you think.
Ciao from,
Grimmjowislife.
