Chapter 3-

September 2011

"So Ichi, what's for dinner?" As to why Ichigo's making lunch for Grimmjow, let's back pedal to last night.

-Flash Back—

After Grimmjow's little talk with Karin, the teal haired teen joined the other for dinner.
The table was already set and Ichigo was seated at the end of the table. Nel sat to his left and Yuzu to his right with Karin next to her. Grimmjow took the empty seat next to Nel saying, "Itadakimasu!" Looking around the table, Grimmjow had to stop himself from drooling. The food looked amazing! There was meat curry with white rice and fresh tuna and fried fish set out. It's almost like Ichigo knew Grimmjow was coming. Curry was his absolute favorite.

After everyone made a plate, Grimmjow took a bite and almost melted. He had never tasted curry this good before.

Grimmjow was too into his meal to notice the small conversation jumping around the table.

"Ichi-nii, how's the project coming?" The strawberry hadn't been told much about the project and was a little curious.

"Oh, fine. He's going to take some more work. By the way, Grimmjow . . ." He looked up at the sound of his name.

"I have to work tomorrow and I get off at five-thirty. Do you wanna come over around that time?"

"Sure, just call me when your shift ends and I'll head over."

-Flash Back Over-

Ichigo had just returned from his shift at the diner. The little diner had so much business today and he was very exhausted. Recently the number of teenage girls had increased and Ichigo was left running back and forth all day. Someone had gotten sick so Ichigo left school to take over her shifts as well. Although he didn't mind the extra money it brought in, his body took the price. On top of the diner and the morning paper route, his boss at the moving company called saying they needed an extra hand tonight.

"I'm home."

"Welcome back, Berry." Ichigo walked into the living room to see Grimmjow sitting on the couch with Nel. Nel was absorbed in the colorful show displaying lively animals and Grimmjow was turned with a luxurious smile on his mouth.

"I didn't realize you were here already."

"I was bored and I thought I'd come give the brat some company." His big hand rubbed the top of her head. Ichi had felt a little jealous that it wasn't his head. Mentally shaking off the odd feeling and made his way to the kitchen.

After dinner Ichigo and Grimmjow retreated upstairs to the bedroom. Ichigo was pondering asking Grimmjow to spend the night throughout dinner but wasn't sure how to voice his thoughts. Finally releasing sigh, the orangette spoke up.

"Hey Grimm?" said blunette, finishing writing down some notes before he looked over to orange haired letting him know he was listening.

"Do you want to spend the night?" Being completely thrown off by the question, Grimmjow stared blankly before his lip curved.

"Sure, I don't mind." His grin grew bigger as the words passed his mouth.

"Great," his full, pink lips curved into a warm smile. "Let's get to work."

They had been working together peacefully when Ichigo's phone started vibrating. Quickly making his way over to the device, the orangette flipped it open and sighed. Suddenly, he was up and cleaning up his work space.

"What are you doing?" The teal haired teen inquired.

"I have to go to work," he said glancing at his wrist watch. "I'll be back in a couple of hours. If you need anything, just call.

Ichigo checked to make sure he had everything before turning to Grimm sitting at his desk. "Oh, and can you do me a favor and make sure Nel gets to bed at a reasonable time. She seems to like you. Umm-"

Ichigo was stopped by Grimmjow snapping out of his trance. "What do you mean you have to go to work? It's like eight o'clock and I thought you worked this afternoon."

"I did," Ichigo said as he made his way down the stairs, Grimmjow hot on his heels. "That was my other job. I have to go." Ichigo checked his watch and jogged out the door with a quick, "See ya later!"

Grimmjow was sitting in his prey's house . . . alone at one o'clock in the morning. His berry had left hours ago in a hurry to work. The teal haired teen was brought out of thoughts when the front door closed with a quiet click.

"Ichi, what the hell!" he ran to the door to see a slightly damp Ichigo lazily staring back at him. "Umm— Ichi, are you okay?"

A slightly dazed Ichigo nodded his head as he made his way into the house. As he was walking past Grimmjow, he quickly became dizzy and his knees buckled under him. The taller teen's reflexes quickly kicked in and he grabbed the orange haired boy before he could connect with the floor.

"What the—"Grimmjow's hand made its way to the strawberry's forehead. "Shit, he's burning up."

The teal-haired teen scooped up the panting teen with ease, so he was now held bridal style in his large arms.

He's not even heavy! Knowing this guy, he probably doesn't take very good care of himself. How long has he had a fever?

Grimmjow eased his way through the door to Ichigo's bedroom and then proceeded to lay the teen on his bed. The blue eyed teen stepped back and looked over the still unconscious teen. His clothes and hair were slightly wet, dark circle formed under his shut eyelids. His cheeks were flushed and his sun-kissed skin seemed slightly paler. Hurrying to the bathroom, the blue haired teen searched through the cabinets for some medicine. Once he found what he needed, he got a wet wash cloth and headed back to the berry's room.

Although he was still unconscious, Ichigo was panting hard and his features were drawn up into a scowl. Grimmjow set the medicine on the bedside table and pulled over his desk chair. Retrieving the wet wash cloth from the supplies brought from the bathroom, Grimm laid it across the berry's forehead.

While the teal-haired teen was pulling the covers up over Ichigo, said berry began to stir. Glazed chocolate brown eyes looked up into worried teal ones. The taller teen ran his fingers through orange locks causing an unexpected moan to escape the berry's soft, pink lips. Although the teal-haired teen was completely aroused by this vulnerable berry, his better reasoning told him it wasn't right to attack a sick person.

"Ichi, what the hell? How long have you been sick and it's almost two in the morning!" Grimmjow's better judgment was clouding the arousal with rage at the berry for not taking better care of himself.

"I'm fine, really." The vibrant orange-haired teen gave a warm smile, trying to sit up. Grimmjow immediately pushed Ichigo back into the mattress.

"You're not fine, you would have passed out on the floor if I wasn't here." He informed the carrot top.

"But-"

"No 'buts,' you're sick with a very high fever. You will stay in bed until you're completely healed.

The teal-haired teen gave the smaller teen and warning glare as if daring him to try to get up again or argue. Ichigo was stubborn but in this situation, he was too tired and knew Grimmjow was right. "Okay," the berry said with a heartwarming smile that had Grimmjow's heart doing a double take. Although it felt kind of good, it still freaked the hell out of the teal- haired teen. This feeling was foreign to him and he didn't quite understand what was going on.

"Good," the teal-haired teen gave a smile of his own. This caused the berry to blush. "Take these; they'll make you feel better." Grimmjow passed some pills and a glass of water to his berry. When he accepted it, Grimmjow said, "I'm gonna crash on the couch. G'night."

The teal-haired teen went to leave the room when "Grimm," he turned to look at the berry.

"Thank you."
