Opposites Attract
Chapter 4
The High School Years
Part 1 of 6
Grimm: Ugh, high school, really Jay?
Desire: Yeah, and did you just call me Jay?
Alexia: I think he did. Are you going to go all fanboy on him now?
Desire: No, I'm not that bad.
Alexia: You have a Toshiro plushie doll...
Desire: My friend got me that as a joke! And so what, at least I don't have an unhealthy obsession with Ulquiorra. How's that body sized sketch of him coming along by the way Alexia? Do you sleep with it at night?
Alexia:...
Ulqui: Really?
Alexia: N-no!
Ulqui: I find that to be slightly disturbing...
Desire: Oh my god, if you think that's bad I have tons...of...dirt...(Falls asleep)
Alexia: I'm a ninja. o. o
Grimm: OH! Like that time she was eating a pixie stick and...she...(Falls asleep next to Desire)
Alexia: Just how many people has he told about this?!
Tetsuya & Tesra: Or the time that she...(falls into the pile)
Alexia: You know what fuck this, just start the freaking fanfiction!
A frail nasally voice could be heard coming from the front of a large classroom with a semi-depressing atmosphere. Tetsuya was drooling on his desk and dreaming that he was chasing a giant slice of New York style cheesecake while his studious brother Tesra was diligently taking notes on everything his teacher was saying. Grimmjow wasn't paying any attention to the teacher, he was to busy hitting on Alexia in the back of the classroom, but she ignored him completely in favor of staring into the 'dreamy' eyes of Ulquiorra who was paying no attention to her.
"Tesra-kun would you be so kind and explain what life was like during the Sui families rule of China from 589 c.e to 618 c.e" Tesra gave the teacher's question some thought for about two seconds before he answered.
"The Sui Dynasty was one of the shortest dynasties to ever rule China. They only had two emperor's and they're rule only lasted for approximately 39 years before they were kicked out of the dynastic cycle due to the mandate of heaven. They made many geographic contributions to China including: The construction of the Grand Canal which helped improve the nations economic status and they also began to rebuild parts of the great wall of China." Tetsuya began to grumble in his sleep while his brother answered his teacher's question, much to the dismay of Tesra.
"Tetsuya-kun do you have anything to add?" The teacher asked.
"Mmmmm, cheesecake..." Tetsuya mumbled sleepily. Tesra became to panic, if his brother was seen as a complete idiot then Tesra would be given death by relation.
"What was that Tetsuya-kun?" The teacher asked again, becoming slightly frustrated.
"NO, MY CHEESECAKE!" Tetsuya screamed, as he woke up from his dreamy wonderland of gumdrops, flying cups of Ramen and edible cheesecake flavored animals. The class roared in laughter while Tetsuya face turned beet red, while Tesra just began to slam his face on his desk repeated in order to wake himself up for the embarrasing nightmare that was, being Tetsuya's twin brother. They may be twins but they're personalities are anything but similar. For starters, Tesra was always quiet and took his academic studies quite seriously, he also always looked a lot neater than Tetsuya did, his white uniform shirt always looked freshly pressed, as did his pants and his hair was always neatly styled. His posture was perfect and his black school issues jacket always looked just as neat as his white shirt and black pants. Tetsuya was loud, outgoing, and he was really popular with the ladies. He was always late to class, he always left a few buttons of his white shirt unbuttoned and he rarely ever wore his uniform jacket let alone the tie, and he had an attitude to boot."Tetsuya-" The teacher began to say with a serious tone.
Ring! Ring!
If anyone ever says the term 'saved by the bell' is meaningless, they obviously weren't taking any classes with Tetsuya. Tetsuya quickly grabbed his backpack and notebook and rushed out of the classroom.
"Oi! Tetsuya wait up!" Grimmjow called. Tetsuya stopped for a sec to let Grimmjow catch up with him. "Dude, what you just did made my day." Tetsuya glanced at Grimmjow with a sideways look on his face.
"Grimmy, you seriously have a messed up since of humor." Tetsuya retorted.
"Yeah well when a history teacher asked a student a question and that student's reply is "MY CHEESECAKE." it's usually worth a chuckle or two." Tetsuya rolled his eyes while Grimmjow continued to snicker.
"By the way, Grimmjow, I saw you flirting with Alexia. What's up with that?" Grimmjow scoffed.
"I'm surprised you heard anything, since you were snoring loud enough to wake the dead." Tetsuya laughed.
"Oh yeah, what period is this?"
Lunch Time
When Tetsuya and Grimmjow finally made they're way to the roof for lunch they were greeted by Yami Llargo, Di-roy Rinker, Ggio Vega and Kouki Cifer.
"Heh, I heard what happened to you in history class, Tetsuya." Kouki began, with a devilish smirk.
"Oh ya, everyone's talking about it, man." Di-roy chimed in.
Munch Munch Munch Slurp Crunch Crunch!
"Oi, fat ass! Chew with your mouth closed!" Grimmjow yelled to Yami.
"Shut up! I'm hungry!" He retorted with a mouth full of food.
"That's attractive." Ggio and Kouki both said, sarcastically.
"Seriously, man what are you eating anyway?" Yami took a minute to stop his loud chewing to look down at his bento.
"I dunno I took it from that wimp, Ulquiorra." Kouki's glared at Yami.
"Wimp? Haha, that's funny coming from the guy who got his ass whooped by, Luppi." Kouki sneered.
"That wasn't even a real fight! He cheated!" Yami bellowed.
"Heh, sure, if you called knocking someone out with one punch cheating then yeah, he cheated." Grimmjow, Tetsuya and Di-roy all stopped talking amongst themselves to see what Yami would say next.
"Oh, so the sissy boy's taking up for his big brother?" Yami taunted.
"Sissy boy? Okay Yami, since you obviously hit your head on the way back from your daily raiding of the Mcdonald's drive-thru line lemme clear up a couple of things for you. Firstly i'm pretty sure I've had more pussy then you'll get in at least a decade. Secondly Ulquiorra's more of a man then you'll ever be. And finally, just because you order a diet coke after you've ordered two double cheeseburgers, five orders of large fries and eaten two tubs of ice cream doesn't make you any less of a fat, lazy, slob than you already are so I recommend that you shut the hell up and go visit Dr. Kurosaki's clinic and go get some liposuction done because you look like someone got a plastic bag, filled it with lard, painted the face of some random thirty year old pedophile on the front of it and put it in a school uniform." Everyone on the roof sat there in shock of what happened. Kouki had just single handily put Yami in his place. Yami didn't say anything for a minute, he waited for Kouki to sit back down and then he sucker punched him, knocking Kouki to the ground where he hit his head on a misplaced rock. Kouki tried to get up but he was dazed and his head was hurting but his hesitation gave Yami the opportunity to punch him in the stomach which completely knocked the wind out of the poor boy. Yami had Kouki against the fence at the edge of the roof and he wouldn't stop pummeling Kouki, he just kept punching and punching and punching until Kouki felt like he was going to throw up. Kouki's vision became faint before he blacked out completely. No one intervened until it looked like he was about ready to throw him over the fence.
"Yami, stop that's enough! He's bleeding!" Grimmjow yelled, pulling his large body off of Kouki and slugging him a couple of times himself. "What the hell's wrong with you?" Grimmjow shouted.
"He had it coming!" Yami said defensively.
"No, he didn't! You were instigating, and your twice his size! It wasn't even a fair fight you freakin' sucker punched him! I outta kick your ass myself!" Yami got up and brushed himself off.
"Whatever, Grimmjow." He mumbled.
"No, that really was a bitch move, Yami." Ggio said, as he slung Kouki over his shoulder's. "I'm almost positive he has a concussion, you went to far, man." Ggio scolded as he carried Kouki down the stairs and to the nurse.
"Yami, get the hell outta my sight." Grimmjow spat, he sounded utterly disgusted. Yami didn't say a word either. He just silently walked down stairs.
"Ulqui-kun, your needed in the nurse's office." Ulquiorra raised his eyebrow questioningly.
"Yes, sensei." On his way down to the nurses office Ulquiorra sighed when he saw Alexia headed down the opposite way.
"Ulqui-kun?" Ulquiorra frowned at the suffix, this girl was in the same grade as him, plus everyone calls him that since apparently 'Ulquiorra's to troublesome to say without shortening it in some way.
"Yes, Alexia-san?"
"Are you headed to the nurse?" Ulquiorra nodded. "Oh are you alright?"
"Yes, why?" Ulquiorra asked, with a complete lack of interest.
"Well I heard what happened to your brother, Yami's such an asshole." Alexia piqued Ulquiorra's interest.
"What do you mean?"
"You didn't hear? Yami pretty much went pycho and beat Kouki, I heard it was pretty bad." Ulquiorra frowned.
"Do you have a car, Alexia-san?" She nodded.
"Yes but I thought you had one of your own."
"I do, just not with me. I want you to come with me to the nurse, he'll probably need to be taken home." Alexia nodded and noticed that the dark look that usually adorned Ulquiorra's face seemed slightly darker and if possible, a lot more ominous. When Alexia and Ulquiorra finally got to the nurses office, they saw Kouki, his head was wrapped with a medical bandaid and his arm was up in a sling.
"Ah there you are, Ulqui-kun." Ulquiorra mentally groaned. "I called your mother and father but neither of them answered." Ulquiorra nodded. "His injuries aren't to bad, but they aren't very good either. He has a concussion a broken arm and a black eye but other than that he seems to be fine. But I recommend that you take him home for the day and later on pay a visit to a doctor's Office." Ulquiorra once again nodded.
"Arigato. Is it okay for me to take him home?" The nurse nodded.
"Yes."
"Alexia will you take us?" she wiped a lock of blonde hair from her face.
"No problem, I'll take you." Ulquiorra thanked her and walked to Kouki's bedside. He was sleeping peacefully, so peacefully that Ulquiorra didn't even want to wake him up.
"Kouki-kun, wake up." He whispered gently, using a tone Alexia wasn't even aware he was capable of. Kouki began to stir.
"My head hurts." He said after a couple of minutes.
"You can tell me all about what happened once we get in the car." Kouki nodded and stumbled out of bed. With the support of Ulquiorra and Alexia they were both able to get him in the back seat of her car, where he immediately fell back asleep.
"I never knew you and your brother were so close." Alexia said, attempting to end the awkward silence between them.
"Yes, we are." Alexia chuckled nervously.
"So, um where do you live?"
"Right around the corner." Ulquiorra replied with his usual monotone voice.
"Oh, okay." She said as she drove through the gates that lead to Ulquiorra and Kouki's large home.
"You live in a nice place." She said, trying once more to start a conversation.
"I'm grateful to you for bringing us here." Alexia, sighed.
"No problem." Ulquiorra nodded before he got out of her car and carried Kouki inside his home bridal style. Alexia honked the horn of her car before she left out of her drive way. Ulquiorra used his left arm to unlock the large glass door of his house. He never really approved of it due to a lack of privacy but his parents love glass stuff. Glass doors, glass tables, glass nightstands, you name it and if its glass his parents will buy it. The color scheme to the house was mostly made up of cold colors like blue and purple but a majority of the house was balck with white furniture. Ulquiorra didn't take Kouki to his room, but he did sit him onto the couch in the living room since he knew his brother would want to want some television. He then went into the kitchen and brought him a tub of ice cream (ironic, huh?) and set it on the glass table in front of him since Ulquiorra assumed Kouki's jaw was sore. He then got a blanket and a pillow for Kouki. By the time Ulquiorra was done making his brother comfortable Kouki was wide awake.
"So, are you willing to tell me what happened?" Ulquiorra asked.
"Yami was making fun of you so I told him off." Kouki said simply. Ulquiorra frowned.
"You know I don't care about what other people think of me." Kouki returned Ulquiorra's frown.
"Well I do care, Ulquiorra. He shouldn't have been talking shit. It wasn't even a fair fight! He sucker punched me!" Ulquiorra's frown grew deeper.
"I wish you wouldn't be so reckless all the time." Kouki smirked.
"Well someone in this family has to be."
"Mom's gonna freak when she see's you." Kouki grimaced.
"I know, but she won't be getting home until late so I'd rather enjoy my last few moments of peace before she starts suing Yami's ass off." Ulquiorra nodded.
"Well, get some sleep, otouto." Kouki nodded and let himself drift back into unconsciousness.
The next day at school Ulquiorra was surprised to be greeted by Alexia, and Grimmjow.
"Um, I just wanted to say sorry about what happened yesterday, Yami's a douche." Alexia rolled her eyes at Grimmjow.
"You all act like savages, to bad Kouki-kun had to get dragged into it this time." Grimmjow wanted to retort but the look on Alexia's face made him reconsider.
"It's fine, he brought it upon himself." Ulquiorra said with finality, he began to walk away but Grimmjow stopped him.
"Woah there, he's your brother. Shouldn't you go kick Yami's ass or something." Ulquiorra's stone cold demeanor didn't falter.
"No, unlike you and your friends I don't solve every little problem that comes my way with violence." Grimmjow glared daggers at Ulquiorra.
"Grimmjow, calm down Ulquiorra's right not everything has to be solved with meaningless violence." Grimmjow smirked.
"Oh, sure stick up for your boyfriend, Alexia." Alexia's face turned crimson.
"Grimmjow, shut the hell up." Ulquiorra's patience had worn completely thin.
"I don't have time to listen to your childish squabbles, I don't want to be late for class, Goodbye." After dismissing both of them Ulquiorra continued on his way to class.
"Way to go Grimmjow. Just when I was beginning to start a conversation with him." Alexia complained.
"I don't see what you see in that guy. I'm a way better catch." Alexia just glanced at him.
"You wish Grimmjow." She said, dismissively as she walked away.
"Oh, you'll see Alexia." Grimmjow grumbled under his breath. After that little dispute Griimjow joined Tetsuya and Tesra on they're way to first period AP calculus. Despite Tetsuya and Grimmjow's laziness they were both smart and made excellent grades. No where near Tesra's grade point average but they're GPA's were pretty impressive. The only problem with this class was the fact that Grimmjow and Tetsuya despised it. Not because of the teacher, but because of a single student. Nnoitora...
"Grimmjow, I can hear him all the way out here." Tetsuya complained.
"I know, he usually skips this class." Grimmjow observed as he took a seat on the opposite side of Tetsuya.
"Yeah, well I'm not really in the mood to deal with him today." Tetsuya groaned.
"Me either, as long as he keeps his mouth shut we should be fin-"
"Well if it isn't Grimmjow and Tetsuya." Grimmjow spoke to soon.
"What do you want, Nnoitora?" Tetsuya asked with a tone that all but screamed 'Leave me the hell alone'
"Heh, is that anyway to greet a friend?" Nnoitora said dramatically.
"Nnoitora, no one likes you so do us a favor and go jump off a cliff, or better yet, throw yourself in a furnace so no one will find any remains." Grimmjow growled irritably.
"Watch it, Jaegerjaquez!" Nnoitora warned him.
"Everyone get to your seats! The bell has rung." The calculus teacher ordered.
"We'll finish this later, Grimmjow." Grimmjow chuckled mockingly.
"Kouki-kun, I don't understand why your being so difficult about this." His mother said, sounding confused.
"It's my fault this happened, so why should someone else be punished?"
"Because all you did was stand up for your brother. You look like you were hit by a bus, Yami Llargo is dangerous and he needs to get suspended. Actually he needs to get expelled." She said with finality.
"Okaa-san..."
"Don't 'Okaa-san' me. That boy needs to learn that he just can't go around insulting people and beating them up when that person retaliates." Kouki sighed, he was too tired to fight with his mother anymore and his head was still throbbing even after he took the pain pills his doctor prescribed.
"Okay. But can we do this tomorrow? I'm tired." She shook her head.
"No, your father and I took the day off from work and scheduled a meeting with the administrator of your school, your friend Grimmjow's mother will be there as well." Kouki's eyes widened.
"Are you sure about that? Did you actually, um, talk to her?" Kouki's mother nodded.
"Why do you seem worried." Kouki sighed.
"Um, it's not really my place to explain. All I can say is Grimmjow's parent's are really messed up. Especially his father." Kouki's mother gestured for Kouki to continue speaking but Kouki's lips were sealed.
"I respect your loyalty to your friends, I guess I'll just find out later on today. Get some rest Kouki-kun, I don't think I want you back at school until this whole thing is settled." Kouki nodded. "Your brother will be home soon. Are you okay being alone for a little while?" Kouki's nodded. "Okay then, I'll see you later."
Next Chapter: Grimmjow is still lusting after Alexia and we get to meet his family. Also, Ulquiorra does something no one knew he was even capable of doing. Tetsuya and Tesra get into some major trouble and Kouki's got his eye on someone.
Desire: That was a lot shorter than I originally planned for it to be...
Alexia: Your so lazy.
Desire: And your desperate. Staring across the classroom at Ulquiorra like some lost unwanted puppy? Really Alexia, could you be anymore cliché and desperate.
Alexia: You wrote it, not me.
Kouki: I enjoyed putting Yami in his place. Although I didn't like the fact that you let him kick my ass!
Desire: I don't write anything in these stories that isn't necessary to help keep the plot from falling apart.
Grimm: Eh, he's got a point, all the events that have happened so far are connected.
Tetsuya: Okay so here's a random question for you. Why the hell did you feel the need to put that little history lesson in here?
Desire: Because I wanted you to dream of cheesecake.
Tetsuya: Why?
Desire: Because I'm currently eating a slice of cheesecake.
Alexia: I thought you were on a diet.
Desire: Don't judge me.
