Mizuiro's POV~ Monday During Lunch
Apparently I missed a few things by not going to Ichigo's. No one's heard from Shinji since he ran out of Ichigo's house after Yuzu had given him first aid. Ichigo looked like absolute shit with bruises and scratches littered all over his body; I can't even fathom what Shinji must look like. I always thought that Shinji had feelings for Ichigo but I didn't think it was that deep. I feel his pain for never being accepted by the one you love because they don't share the same feelings. Ichigo sat with us in total despair. His brother Kon was doing his best to make the poor soul laugh without success.
On the other hand I was absolutely furious. The whole group besides Ichigo noticed the random and shocking change. Keigo was sitting with his new found friends. After we had left Grimmjow's house on Saturday we went to the mall and had an absolute blast. I didn't think it would be fun after that awkward occurrence but I had more fun that day then I have had for a long time. Unlike Keigo though, I knew when Monday came the fairy tale had to end and we would have to be enemies with them again. What was Keigo doing hanging out with them in the open like this?
I got up from where I sat since Ichigo wasn't going to do it and marched on to their table. "Keigo, what are you doing? Come sit over there with us." I said as I started to pull on his arm. Grimmjow grabbed my wrist hard. Bastard.
"No, Mizuiro-kun, what are you doing? I thought you liked us. Why don't you come over here and sit with us. We have plenty of room." I could hear a hint of victory in Grimmjow's voice since he knows I won't and that Keigo won't move from where he sat.
"Sigh, you know I can't do that. I admit that I probably had the most fun in a while hanging with you guys but that was a fairy tale. Keigo, you know you're going to get bullied for hanging out with them, right? I don't want to see that." I finished. I hope this is enough to get Keigo to come back with me.
"You know they won't accept me now anyways. I've already made the switch and I'm extremely happy here. I know I can't expect you to join us because you still consider them your friends but I still want you to hang out with us once in a while. We're still best friends, right?" Keigo asked with a shy smile.
I responded with a sad smile. "Sure, Keigo. We are defiantly best friends." I was so tempted to sit down but I didn't have the courage to do so. It's kind of ironic because Keigo's the one that was always the scaredy cat but maybe it's because he has nothing to lose now. Either one of my decisions will be a great cost to me. If I sit down with them then I will lose all of my friends but if I leave to go sit with my old friends then I risk Keigo falling in love with Grimmjow.
Once I made my decision I forced myself to move my feet and to sit down without a sound. I looked back at Keigo and his slightly disappointed look but with some understanding in it. I hate myself for my weakness and strive to be liked by people but maybe in the future I can be strong for Keigo. Maybe.
Keigo's POV~ After Lunch
As I walked through the halls after lunch I could see the hateful glares of the students from my school. It was written all over their faces that they thought I was a traitor. I was the first person to befriend someone from the other school and I was going to pay for it. Just as that thought crossed my mind I was body slammed into a locker. I looked up to see a glaring red head walking away in the opposite direction; Renji. I frowned as I continued to walk to my class. What an asshole.
With some struggle I eventually get to class. Almost every few feet I walked I was harassed by people from the same school. They would spout nasty words at me like traitor and scum. By the time I got to class I was about to break down in tears and cry my soul out. I thought I would be strong and I could take all the harassment but I can't. I quickly sat down in my seat and concentrated on the paper in front of me so I didn't have to look around me at the glares that I'm sure would be there. Suddenly a piece of paper landed on my desk. I looked up to be connected with Grimmjow's eyes and he smiled warmly at me.
I opened up the note and read.
- Are you okay?
I hurriedly replied and we went back and forth for a while.
- Yeah I'm fine.
- Liar. I can see your face, dumbass. What's wrong?
- It's Nothing. I can handle it on my own.
- Fine. Are you free today? We can go to my house if you want.
- Yeah I am. Actually though do you want to come to my house? I want you to meet my sister.
- I would love to meet your sister. BTW, you write so cutely.
- WTF, No I don't! I write completely normally.
- Whatever you say Keigo.
Before I could write back to this stupid conversation the bell rings signaling the end of class. I get up and walk over to Grimmjow's desk. "You ready to go?" He nods and we exit the class room. Right as we do though, a random kid from my school pushes me into the wall. My back connects with the wall and my arm connects with the door frame. In an instant my arm was in a lot of pain. I see a rush of blue as Grimmjow was by my side.
"Are you okay? What the fuck was that about?" I looked away from Grimmjow. How could I possibly tell him that it was because I was hanging out with him? He would defriend me to protect me but then I would be all alone. My old friends would never take me back and Mizu would probably be bullied to the point where he would hate me. I have to be fine or else everyone will leave me.
"I don't know. Maybe that guy was in a hurry or something." I offer and hope he will take the lame excuse. He nods and helps me up with my injured arm. The pain was so atrocious that it took my whole being not to show it on my face. Thank the heavens for Grimmjow didn't notice anything was wrong.
We exited the school now and I successfully left without another person hitting me. It was probably because I was with Grimmjow though. I'm surprised he didn't run after that kid who pushed me. "Hey guys! Where are you two love birds off too?" I heard a chirper voice. I looked in front of me to see Shinji by the gate. He didn't wear a school uniform though.
"Hahaha, you're funny Shinji. Were you not at school today and what the fuck happened to you?" I ask as I notice all the bruises on his face and probably all over his body.
"Ah, Ichigo and I had a fight over the weekend. I'm here to apologize but I don't think he will accept it. Have you seen him around?" Before I could answer him, Mizu walked over to us.
"He'll probably be out soon. He looked out of it all day. You know he still cares about you, Shinji." I heard Mizu tell Shinji. Why would Ichigo be mad at Shinji? Shinji is such a great person and Ichigo's best friend.
"Ha I don't know Mizuiro-Kun. I messed up pretty big this time. Anyhow, I'll see you guys later." Shinji stated in defeat as he walked towards the school. Mizu, Grimmjow and I walked towards the train station.
"Who was that? He seemed nice." Grimmjow asked. Hm? Is Grimmjow interested? They are both gay so maybe they can date!
"You guys should date. He's gay also. Oh, his name is Shinji." I answer his question.
"Eh, he's not my type." Grimmjow answered with distaste.
"What's your type then?" I shocked myself. I can't believe I just asked that.
"Uh, guys that is less masculine then me for the most part. I like to be dominant. I guess looks don't really matter to me." Grimmjow finishes with a blush at the weird question. I guess since Grimmjow is such a buff guy it would kind of be weird to be with a guy equally as masculine.
"What about you Mizuiro?" I ask my best friend. I might as well ask him the embarrassing question too.
"Uh I guess I would have to say the opposite of Grimmjow. More masculine than me." Mizu stated with a blush.
"Then you guys should date. Based off your responses you guys should be compatible right?" They both hit me from each side. Grimmjow hit my injured arm and it was hard to not grimace at the pain.
"Baka" They said in union. I looked at their faces and they would not look at the other. Then the pieces fell in place. Did they already like each other? I probably embarrassed them with my suggestion; Silly me. It sure would be weird if my two best friends started to date though. No! I have to support them! I can't come in between their blossoming love!
"What about you Keigo? If you were gay, what would you look for in a guy?" Grimmjow asked with a sly grin. I gasped at such an embarrassing question.
"Uh… I guess one who looked like a girl since I'm straight. Although you're really attractive Grimmjow." Just as I said it I wanted to take it back. I thought I was going to get a weird reaction out of Grimmjow but he just smiled.
"Thanks!" He took the complement.
"Anyway, where are you guys off to? It looks like you guys are going somewhere since Grimmjows house is in the opposite direction." Mizuiro observed.
"Oh we were going to my house. Do you want to join us?" I ask when Nnoitra slides in with us. "Oh, Nnoitra! You can meet my sister too. Do you want to join us?" I asked the taller man.
"I'm sorry mate. Mizuiro-kun and I have some studying to do at my house so we'll catch you guys later!" Nnoitra stated as he took Mizu's wrist and pulled him away from us. That was weird… When did those two get so chummy?
"What was that all about?" I asked my blue haired friend.
"Hm? Oh. If you haven't guessed, Nnoi isn't the best student and Mizuiro-kun is a more than decent one so Nnoi asked the fellow if he could help him in his studies. I think Nnoi is feeling the pressure to prepare for the entrance exams and he needs a whole year to catch up." Grimmjow explained.
"Doesn't that bother you that those two are getting closer?" I ask. If Grimmjow likes Mizuiro than wouldn't that be bad if they start to like each other?
"Hm? Nah Nnoitra and I will continue to be best friends." Grimmjow dismissed. Sigh, I guess I'll have to be a little more forward about the subject.
"What I mean is that don't you guys have feelings for each other?" I ask in anticipation. Grimmjow choked.
"What?! No. Where did that come from?"
"Well when I suggested you guys going out you guys were embarrassed so I thought you guys had feeling for each other. Was I wrong?"
"That was just an embarrassing suggestion. Imagine if I suggested you going out with Nnoitra. It's just an awkward statement." Grimmjow explains. I guess he has a point. It is kind of weird.
By then we had finally arrived at my house. As we entered my apartment I noticed a pair of girls shoes neatly places in the hall way. "Anaki?" I shouted from the front door.
"HELLO KEIGO!" She shouted from her bedroom up stairs. "WHAT'S FOR DINNER TONIGHT?"
"VEGTABLE STIR FRY, RICE, AND MISO SOUP! BY THE WAY WE HAVE A GUEST TONIGHT!" I shouted back at my sister. I give an apologetic glance towards Grimmjow for the loud voices but he just smiles.
I hear footsteps come towards us as my sister emerges around the corner. "Oh! Is this one of your new friends from the other school? Thank you for taking care of my little brother. He's a handful some times." She smiles at Grimmjow. Yeah good luck Anaki. He bat's for the other team.
"He's none of the sort. I'm sorry for the sudden intrusion. Thank you for having me over. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Asano. My name is Jaegerjaquez Grimmjow." Grimmjow introduces.
"Oh! Such a gentleman! He's a keeper Keigo!" Anaki exclaims. I flush a dull red at her embarrassing comment. I guess this is why Mizu and Grimmjow were embarrassed.
"Dinner will be done soon." I grit out at my sister. This is going to be a long dinner.
