Waking up with a powerful ache in my heart I could feel my heart as it constricted. It was Sunday so thankfully I could do nothing today if I wished. After a few breaths the pain went away. That powerful pain in my heart. Standing up I noticed I was in my bed. I guess sometime during the night Shinji had moved me. I felt regret for having sex with Shinji especially while I was drunk. Rolling over I groaned and got up. I wasn't even the uke last night and I was sore. Stupid Grimmjow. Scowling ot myself I walked to my bathroom and turned on the water. The image's of Grimmjow flooded my head hurt me like daggers. The tear treading on my eyes begging to fall. Stepping in the shower I sat down as the water pelted me and began to cry. Tears slipping out one by one like and endless waterfall. I tried to hold some back while I washed myself but they kept coming. I felt ashamed of myself to since I was crying over a guy.
Fuck I'm such a pussy I thought to myself.
What else could go wrong honestly. The water began to run cold and I sat there for a few seconds before standing up and turning it off. The cold water felt good though because it wasn't freezing. Getting out of the room I dried off and placed the towel around my hips and went to my room placing on my black skinny jeans and a green shirt. Sighing I threw the towel in the towel in the laundry hamper and laid on my bed looking at the ceiling.
"I'm so fucked," I whispered to myself.
Turning to my side I laid there and wondered if I should mark some papers but I didn't in the end. On Friday I knew I would call in for a personal day since it was going to be the anniversary of my mothers death.
"You've gone soft," I told myself.
Standing up I walked into the hallway and moved towards my living room and sat on my couch. Tilting my head back into the cushion. I began to relax slowly drifting in an off again on again sleep until my door was noisily swung open and a pair of arms were wrapped around my neck and a body on me.
"I'm so sorry,"Shinji wailed.
His grip was strong and made me groan from the pressure.
"Ow Shin!" I complained.
Shinji barely loosened his grip.
"I'm so sorry," Shinji repeated.
"Sorry for what?" I asked.
"For last nights sex!" he yelled," I didn't mean to. I was already intoxicated when I arrived. I had some drinks at Nnoi's and I changed before top it all off me and Nnoi are together and shit"
"Shin calm down," I said," it's okay. Nnoi can't get that mad."
"But he will," he whined.
"Tell him it was my fault," I said," if he comes after me so be it. I just don't want to ruin your happiness."
"I love you Ichi," he said and hugged me tighter.
I should have felt better knowing Shinji was happy but I wasn't. Missing a certain blue haired man who didn't give two shits about me.
"So when does Nnoi come back?" I asked
"Tuesday," said Shinji.
"Okay well can you get off me?" I asked.
"Oops," he said,"sorry."
"It's okay," I said," so you coming with the family on Friday?"
"Of course," he said," your mom was like a mom for me. She was awesome."
"Yeah," I said," she was."
Shinji and I sat in remote silence for a long time. The house felt so empty and peaceful. I needed a pet. Something that gave you unconditional love.
"Hey Shin?" I said.
"Yeah?" asked Shinji.
"I want a pet," I said.
"ooo ooo ooo can I help?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said," gotta make sure it's a girl though. What should I get?"
"A rock!" he yelled with a giant grin.
"A rock," I said," wait no. A real pet."
"A boulder," he said.
"That is not a pet," I said.
"Okay how about a cannon ball," he said," BOOM! Throw it at people you hate."
"Nnoi being the first," I said," now be serious or you'll be the second."
"Goldfish," he said.
"Too boring," I said,"what about a dog or a bird?"
"Puppy, puppy, puppy," he chanted like a child.
"Chocolate Labrador?" I asked
"Yeah," he squealed," oh Ichi hurry up. Lets go to the pet store."
"Don't get to excited," I said.
Shinji pulled me off the couch and dragged me to my front door.
"Hurry up," Shinji said.
"I'm being as quick as I can," I said.
Shinji already had his shoes on and was jumping up and down like a child. He didn't even wait to see if I had my shoes tied. He ran to the car shoving me in the drivers seat.
"Lets go!" Shinji yelled.
"Uh Shin," I said.
"Yeah?" he asked.
"We forgot the keys," I said.
"Oh," he said.
I laughed," Go get 'em."
"Roger that," he said and saluted.
Shinji pushed open his door and ran into the house having him return in under ten seconds.
"You're really stoked," I said.
"Because Isshin never let us have a pet," said Shinji," and I forgot to get one. Oooo lets stop by my bank. I wanna get one. So our dogs can mate. I'll get something like a black Labrador."
"Okay," I said.
Shinji threw the keys at me and I started the car. Shinji's bank was the first stop and when we arrived he didn't even wait for the car to stop before he jumped out. Shinji entered the doors and used the banking machine instead of going to a teller and then came back.
"How much you get?" I asked.
"Over a thousand yen," said Shinji.
"Can't believe you're paying in cash," I said," I'm just going to use my bank card."
"damn. I never thought of that," he said," oh well.'
Driving the the nearby pet shop that was a few minutes away I would look at Shinji from the corner of my eye and he was smiling with excitement. Once arriving I parked the car and Shinji zoomed past me and ran into the pet store and there was indeed puppies because I heard Shinji squeal. A employee came along with me as she smiled at how excited Shinji was. There were many breeds. Chihuahuas, Shiba Inu's , beagles, boxers, great Danes, huskies, golden retrievers, poodles, German Shepards, and the Labradors. Golden Labradors, Chocolate Labradors and the black ones.
"Awwww cute," said Shinji," can I have the black lab?"
"That one?" the women asked and pointed at one.
"Is it a boy?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said after lifting the pup.
"Can I have a girl chocolate lab?" I asked.
"Yes you may," she said," just let me get to kennels for you two."
"Okay," I said," have they gotten shots already? and are they potty trained?"
"Yes and yes," she said.
"Okay thank you," I said.
Shinji moved towards his soon to be puppy and scratched it behind the ears.
"I'm going to call you Eiji," said Shinji," do you like that?"
The puppy barked.
"I'll take that as a yes," said Shinji," what are you naming your puppy?"
"Kyoko," I said.
"That's pretty," he said.
"Yeah," I said.
The women came back and picked up each puppy having them yelp at the movement and placed them in the kennel.
"Do you need help with items used for your new pets?" she asked.
"Can we have a list?" I asked.
"water and food dish," she said," food of course,a leash collar but start out with a harness if you wish, dog tag, shampoo for when you bath them, a bed if you don't wish for them to sleep on your bed, comb or brush and nail clippers."
"Wow," said Shinji," You carry the pups I'll get the stuff."
Shinji ran off probably looking for shopping cart because after ten minutes he came zooming back.
The woman laughed at him
"Are we all set?" she asked.
"Yup," I said.
"Okay," she said," I'll carry the pups and we can go to the check in."
The puppies didn't cost as much as I thought they would so when we finished paying for them I carried the puppies and Shinji had the numerous bags of supplies. I placed the dogs in the little spot behind the last set of seats and the supplies in the last row. Shinji and I got in our seats and began to drive home.
"Too bad htey didn't have a dalmation," said Shinji.
"Yeah good thing they didn't," I said," you would of got a girl and we would be on the next 101 dalmatians film."
"Would not," he said.
"Oh well," I said," I can't wait to have Kyoko see her new home. I hope she likes me."
"She's a puppy. Treat he well and she'll love you to bits. She'll miss you though while your at school for half the day."
"Probably," I said," I'm going to tell Karin and Yuzu about Kyoko. Yuzu adores animals so she'll love to see Kyoko."
"And Eiji," he said.
"Yes and Eiji," I said and laughed.
When we got home I went and got the pups making Shinji carry the stuff in. I opened the kennels when Shinji entered the house and the dogs jumped and barked.
"Excited ne?" I asked them.
Kyoko and Eiji barked in response and I laughed. The two pups then began to play with each other. Eiji chasing Kyoko and then Kyoko playfully bit Eiji's ear tugging and pulling at it.
Sorry about all the dialogue. So here's the newest chapter. originally it was suppose to be some sad emo chapter but then I got the idea of giving Ichi and Shin pets whe ni was at school. Enjoy the chapter. Unnntil next time.
