Chapter 4
Grimmjow looked up to see Shiro's thin frame sitting on the roof of the school during lunch, hands holding a pencil and sketchbook. What's he doing? He wondered. He also made a small note of the fact Shiro had no lunch on him. He looked around and smirked. His friends weren't there yet so he walked over. "Yo." Shiro jumped and looked at him with wide golden eyes and he sucked in a breath. Those eyes...shit they do stuff...
"Umm hey." Shiro mumbled. "What are...uhh...you doing?" He stammered as Grimmjow sat next to him. Grimmjow chuckled and Shiro felt his face turn a soft pink. Shit...he's so close...!
"I wanna know what you're doing." He smirked as he snatched the sketchbook.
"Give it back!" Shiro said, trying to reach for it. Grimmjow grinned but the grin faltered when Shiro began to sniff, golden eyes tearing up.
Is he...gonna cry?! Such a baby... he thought and then flinched. Damn that isn't fair... "Ok here...sorry." Shiro took the sketchbook back and sniffed.
"No I'm sorry...it's just..." He sighed. "I never knew my Mom...not really. One year ago, this shows up on my doorstep with a letter to me." He pulled it out and stared at it. "I thought it was like a time capsule thing ya know? It wasn't supposed ta find me until I turned eighteen..." He cleared his throat. "It says 'Dear Shiro. I know...Mama made a huge mistake. But someday I will make it up to you. I hope you like the sketchbook and know that I will never stop until I find you, and hold you like I should have since the moment you were born. I was scared, and I gave in to my fear and abandoned you. It makes me a horrid mother, like my own...but I will find you sweetheart...know that your Mama has never forgotten you and hasn't forgiven herself for letting you go.' " Shiro's golden eyes were shining with unshed tears. "But I thought she was dead...and now she really is dead."
"..." Grimmjow remained quiet as he watched Shiro hold the sketchbook. "I'm sorry man..."
"No...it's ok." He shook his head and rubbed his face on his sleeve. "I've gotten over it. It's just-"
"Oi Grimm! Get ur cotton candy ass over here!" Grimmjow and Shiro looked up to see his football friends waving him over.
"Sorry, I gotta go..." He turned and saw Shiro's eyes. They looked sad and...scared? Scared? Why would he be scared?
"N-nah. Go on ahead. I don't wanna waste all yer time ok?" Shiro then smiled and Grimmjow felt his face warm up a bit. "See ya..." Grimmjow walked away from the albino student, and once Shiro's back turned he felt his stomach churn.
What the hell? "Sorry guys, I was just-"
"Talking ta that freak?" Nnoitora elbowed him. "Please. Tell me ya were taking his lunch or somethin'."
"Wh-what?!" Grimmjow gasped. "Why the hell would I do that?!" Grimmjow glared.
"J-just a joke Grimm!" Nnoitora patted his back. He then glared over his shoulder and Grimmjow turned in time to see Shiro turn around abruptly. "C'mon let's eat ya?"
"Sure..." He followed his friend, but he couldn't help but remember Shiro's scared eyes. Are they...no. They're stupid, but not that bad...
Shiro stood outside the boxing school with Ichigo beside him. "What are we doing here Shiwo?"
"We're coming here for some brother to brother time."
"How stupid." Ichigo pouted. He was wearing a small grey zip up hoodie with grey shorts and sneakers. Shiro chuckled and ruffled his orange hair. "Hey stop it!"
"Not until you quit being a party pooper. Ok, let's go." He walked with Ichigo inside to be greeted by the owner. "Hello, I'm here for the boxing tutor position."
"Oh? Well I'm glad someone showed some interest." The owner sighed. "My name is Shinji Hirako. I'm the owner here. Do you have knowledge of boxing?"
"A bit, but mostly freestyle fighting. I'm a fast learner though." He said. The owner gave him a thoughtful look.
"I need a bit more than 'a little'-"
"Please sir! I...I need this." He looked at Shiro with shocked eyes. "I need the money...for me and my brother..."
"I'm sorry young man, but-"
"How about we split the job up?" Shiro turned and his eyes widened when Grimmjow walked in. "I know some to. Why not we share the job?"
"I don't know-"
"Why not? Two heads are better than one, we go to the same school so we can study together and come in together." He turned to Shiro. "I know some offensive, you?"
"A bit of both...but mostly defensive." Shiro said, staring at Grimmjow in shock.
"See? We can learn from each other as well. So how 'bout it hmm?" The owner sighed and shrugged.
"Very well. I'll pay you both 6.00 an hour, ok?" Both boys nodded and as the owner walked away Shiro stopped him.
"Can...can my brother train here? Can he take classes? You see..." He explained quietly and the owner sighed.
"For six months yes." He nodded. "That's all I'll give."
"Thank you so much sir!" Shiro bowed. Ichigo copied his brother and Grimmjow just nodded. Ichigo turned to look at Grimmjow.
"What is it squirt?"
"My name's not squirt! It's Kurosaki Ichigo!" Ichigo pouted and walked over. "You were they guy Shiwo was all red over." Shiro stiffened and Grimmjow smirked. Ichigo then pulled the blue haired teen to his level. "Psst, Shiwo's vulgar!"
"Vulgar hmm?" Grimmjow chuckled. "How so?"
"He has a shirt with a bad word on it! It says 'ass'." He whispered and Grimmjow laughed. Shiro's face turned pink.
"O-ok enough Ichigo." Shiro stammered.
"But you were getting all blu-mmph!" Shiro covered his mouth and Ichigo had a scowl on his face. "Anyways...I guess today we have jobs together huh?"
"Yep, seems so." Grimmjow smirked and patted his back. Shiro swallowed and looked at him, pink dusting his cheeks. He looks...kinda cute this way...wait what?! No Grimmjow, you like girls and shit...not guys. Not that he doesn't have any bad points...but...no stop!
"Umm...yeah I suppose." Shiro mumbled as Ichigo looked back and forth between them. "Umm...good luck Grimmjow." Shiro held his hand out and flinched when Grimmjow actually took it. He has bigger hands than me...
His hands are thin...but delicate almost. Grimmjow nodded and they shook. "Yeah, good luck to you too. Well...shall we go eat?"
"Umm I don't have much money..."
"I gotcha covered. C'mon let's all go eat. There's a McDonalds nearby." Ichigo's brown eyes lit up and he jumped up and down.
"I want a Kid's Meal! A cheeseburger!" He said happily.
"Well I guess it's been decided." Grimmjow laughed out loud. He grabbed Shiro's thin hand and yanked him along, Ichigo cheering happily. Grimmjow didn't see the soft smile on Shiro's face as he was taken away.
Maybe...things are finally looking up... He thought.
"Mmmm I love cheeseburgers!" Ichigo ate happily as Shiro and Grimmjow chuckled. "And I can't wait to play with my Hot Wheels."
"Finish first, then you can." Shiro said and turned to Grimmjow. "Thanks. I can uhh, pay you back when-"
"Don't you even dare." Grimmjow laughed. "This is a treat...a thanks for telling me about the job in the first place." Shiro stared at him before nodding and smiling. Again Grimmjow felt his insides churn a bit. Why do I keep feeling this?
"But I still wanna pay you back...umm...how about I buy you dinner sometime?" Shiro asked. "You can come over and I'll order pizza."
"It's a date." Grimmjow teased and smirked. Shiro's face turned lightly pink and he looked away, a scowl on his face.
"Don't tease me..." His voice was serious and Grimmjow blinked, slightly stunned. "It's not funny."
"No I didn't mean...sorry." He said, confused. Shiro shook his head.
"Nah, sorry for being so abrupt." He said gently and Ichigo just watched them.
"Kiss him already Shiwo." Both teens turned to Ichigo, the boy running his toy car all over the table.
"Ex-excuse me?!"
"What the hell?!" Both boys said at the same time, both of them flustered.
"O-Ok Ichigo we're heading home now!" Shiro grabbed Ichigo and bowed. "Th-thanks and uhh...see you at work!" Shiro rushed out of the fast food place with Ichigo. Grimmjow leaned on his hand and smirked.
Shirosaki Ogichi...interesting guy indeed...he thought with a smile.
