He slowly shifted in the bed, his eyes fluttering open. That was when the events of last night truly hit him. He had sex with Aizen last night and this was his bed, he was home and his family most likely heard everything last night. "Morning" Aizen got out, he shifted wincing a little bit at the pain that hit him.
Ichigo could still smell the lingering of blood in the air, he remembered biting Aizen "Morning" Ichigo got out as he rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.
Ichigo pressed his lips to Aizen gently. Ichigo cuddled a little closer to Aizen, he didn't want to leave this bed. Part of it being because he enjoyed this contact with Aizen and the other part was somewhat mortified to see the damage their little nightly activity had caused.
Aizen hand was going through his hair, there was some pain in the motion. His hair was in tangles from both the sex and from sleep. "I think that was the best night I ever had, it is well worth it." Ichigo then realized that Aizen must be hinting at the pain he was in. "Never thought you would be that rough" he got out. He had removed his hand from Ichigo's hair and that was the only movement he did.
"Never thought you would be that demanding, but I don't regret anything" he said.
Aizen smirked at that comment then it quickly faded. "We have to get up."
Ichigo frowned at the comment. He gave a little pout that mimicked the one Aizen was giving him last night. Aizen chuckled, it was a rich sounded and Ichigo now loved the noise. It was rare and he enjoyed the noise when he heard it. Aizen was shifting, trying not to show the pain that the movement caused, but he had gotten into a sitting position.
Ichigo sighed, that meant he couldn't convince Aizen to just stay in the bed. Plus now that he thought about it he really did need a shower. Ichigo sat up kissing Aizen once more before sliding out of the bed to retrieve his boxers, shirt and sweats. It would be easier if he had his own shower, but he sadly didn't. He tossed Aizen his boxers and some sweats that he had pulled from a drawer. "Those may or may not work." Aizen had slowly slide out of bed, Ichigo took the time to truly appreciate the man's body. The marks he had left were of course still very noticeable. Aizen was his, he was truly his that thought made him very happy.
Aizen slide on his boxers, he could tell the discomfort in the task. Aizen was not exactly good at hiding his emotions at the moment, Ichigo did not mention that fact. Aizen pulled on the sweats, they of course were not long enough due to their height difference but beside that they fit the man well.
Aizen looked up at him as he caught him staring. "What is that look for" he got out quietly.
"Just thinking and appreciating. I am so glad that you are only mine, I would hate having to share you." He hadn't truly expected to say the last part, and by the small gasp that left Aizen he hadn't expected that either. Ichigo wondered when he became so possessive over the older man, he half wondered if Katsu had a hand in his behavior, after all they were one in the same.
"I wouldn't dream of being with anyone but you" Aizen got out. His voice was low, and Ichigo wondered how the man was capable of making him feel like he did now. Ichigo kissed the man. He wondered when he had become the one in control, he wondered when Aizen had become submissive. When he thought of the man he thought he would be the dominant one, but the man had been very submissive last night and he wasn't even attempting to do anything about it, the submissive role seemed to hang in the air around him. Ichigo would have never imagined that was even possible.
"Come on" Ichigo got out as he grabbed Aizen's hand. He opened the door to his room, and quickly led the way to the bathroom, which to his relief was empty. He pulled Aizen into the room and quickly closed the door. He had a feeling his family was either all downstairs or asleep, the later of the two were highly unlikely. Ichigo stripped out of his clothes, Aizen moved to circle his arms around him. He softly bit his neck, Ichigo let out a small moan at the contact. Aizen had stripped the sweats and the boxers and once again was standing before him naked. He truly did have a perfect body, Aizen was extremely hot and all his. The last part was almost as if it was whispered inside his mind. Aizen was truly his.
Ichigo's tongued darted out and ran over Aizen's neck, before biting him. The bit was a tad rougher than Aizen's had been. A gasp left Aizen's lips that quickly had turned into a moan. Ichigo went towards the shower half having to pull Aizen with him. Aizen seemed to somewhat enjoy it, he would never say it out loud but his eyes betrayed him. He had a feeling Aizen somewhat enjoyed being treated like this, he never would have thought that the man would so easily become submissive. He started the water and stepped in, he wondered just what Aizen would do. So the thought secretly crossed his mind, he wouldn't exactly make Aizen do anything he didn't want to. He doubted he could, he wasn't Katsu at least not in this life.
Ichigo allowed the water to roll down his body, Aizen seemed to relax a little bit after he had stepped into the water. Ichigo decided to bite the man again, this time a little lower on his neck. Aizen's neck arched up to allow him better access to his neck, Ichigo left a sweet and soft kiss on the bite mark. He somehow made it through his shower with Aizen without going for a round of shower sex. He had wanted it though, but he had to stop himself. He was still in his own house, his family was most likely downstairs, and could most likely hear them over the water. Aizen could get loud.
He turned the water down, the water was slowly rolling down Aizen well sculpted body. His eyes still looked almost black, he could only imagine what Aizen was thinking about. Aizen kissed him, which he quickly returned. Ichigo dried off, he could get very use to taking showers with the man, and maybe they could try shower sex one day.
Aizen was slowly drying himself, he was looking over Ichigo. "What are you thinking about?"
Ichigo smiled. "I'm sure you could guess that one by now. Your eyes are so beautiful" Ichigo saw Aizen shift a little bit under his gaze. Ichigo kissed him, before going to pull on his boxers when he deemed he was dry enough. So he may not have planned this that well. He pulled on his sweats and his shirt, it would at least get him to his room until he could put on his Shinigami uniform. Which did not have a haori, now that he thought about neither of them had the captain haori despite being captains. Aizen had pulled on his boxers and the borrowed sweats and the two started to Ichigo's room again.
Ichigo closed the door and quickly stripped out of the relaxing clothes. If he wore those, he may feel the need to be lazy. Ichigo could feel Aizen's eyes roaming as he undressed and then dressed again. After they were both dressed Ichigo then felt the dread hit him. What would his family say to him?
"You worry too much, they had a feeling it would happen. Hoped it wouldn't, but he had a feeling it would" Aizen said as he attempted to fix his hair which somehow ended up falling in place despite still being wet.
"I suppose, but it doesn't make it any different. " He wondered if his father and Yuzu and taken back the position outside the door, he knew about their little habit of listening in on him. He hoped that they hadn't. Ichigo moved across the room and opened the door. He hadn't picked up either of his zanpakutō, he would come back up here after he ate. Man was he hungry.
Ichigo left the room, he didn't say anything to Aizen because he knew the man would end up following him. "Morning" Ichigo got out as he saw his family and Toshiro at the table eating breakfast. So Toshiro had stayed the night, he wondered if the other captain had slept with Karin. That thought set him a little on edge.
"Morning Ichigo" Yuzu said in her normal cheerful voice. Karin simply shook her head at the two of them. Toshiro looked at him with all too knowing eyes. His mother offered him a smile and that was when he noticed that his father was missing from the table.
"Where's dad" Ichigo got out just the man had kicked him in the back. "You're getting sloppy Ichigo" his father said. Ichigo got off the ground and kicked his father.
"Now boys, will you behave" Masaki said.
Aizen was softly chuckling at the two of them. "So I am guessing this is normal behavior."
"Yes" Ichigo uttered out as he took a seat at the table.
"Brother, you look happier than normal" Yuzu said innocently.
"It is because he spent the night with his boyfriend" Karin said.
Ichigo looked at Toshiro. "So Toshiro, where did you end up sleeping? I am guessing you stayed the night."
Toshiro nodded and let out a small sigh. Yuzu answered for him. "Karin and I shared a room and Toshiro took my room. I didn't mind of course" she said offering him a smile.
"Are you mad at me now, Ichigo?"
Ichigo shook his head "I think it would take a lot to make me mad right now. Don't try pushing your luck though, my good mood may fade very quickly then."
Aizen entwined his fingers with Ichigo. "How did you tame that man, Ichigo? Not to mention what the hell have you done to my son" Isshin asked out. Earning him a hit from Masaki.
"I am capable of being happy, you do realize that. I'm happy when I'm with Sōsuke" he said before taking a bite of the piece of toast on his plate.
"I'm so happy your back to normal, Ichi. Please tell me you're staying" Yuzu said looking at him with hopeful eyes.
"I would love to, but I probably shouldn't stay that long. I will make more trips to visit you guys though."
He had a feeling that he actually lived in the Soul Society now, it would feel a little odd being at home again after all of this. Plus he didn't know if he could handle it for more than a few days.
"So what are your plans, Ichigo" his mother asked.
"Probably going to hang out with my friends a little, catch up with them. " He looked at Aizen to see if he was really okay with that, and he slowly nodded.
The rest of breakfast considered of idle chit chat, Ichigo was reply every so often but it was more out of autopilot. He was thinking about his friends, how different were they? Was Orihime's brother alive in this life? How would he find his friends, he would have to just hope he found them, since high school was out of the question this time around. After breakfast was done he uttered his goodbyes after going to fetch the zanpakutōs in his room. After they were ready Aizen and he went in search of his friends.
"I'm currently waiting for the dropping point of this reality, it is going too good not to have something bad happen soon" Ichigo got out when they were away from his house enough.
"Why do you expect the worst out of this reality?"
"Um because the imposter is still out there somewhere, and for some reasons wants to kill me. "
"This reality is because Katsu used the Hōgyoku to edit our lives so they weren't as bad."
"Well how do you explain the old man finding something about me? That I'm pretty sure didn't even exist, remember I was the Soul Society's only hope against you before, if there was some information no one acted any differently around me. I was told I had Captain level strength, but was never made a Captain. I don't think the thought ever crossed anyone's mind. Also how do you explain me getting you pardoned?"
Aizen shrugged. "You're reading too much into this. Anyways where are we heading?"
"Kisuke's, it seems like that is the best place to check first."
The two fell into step and soon came to Kisuke's shop. He opened the sliding door that lead into the shop, and Yoruichi stuck her head out of the backroom. "Kisuke isn't back yet" she said.
"Are my_" Ichigo started before Orihime seemed to slip past Yoruichi and offered him a smile.
"It is so nice to see you again, Ichigo" she said. He half expected the girl to run into his arms like she had before, but she kept her distance.
"So the Soul Society actually allowed both of you out into the world of the living. I thought they would have at least sent someone else along with you" Yoruichi said.
"Okay what do you know, Yoruichi, You're not saying something."
Uryu came out into the main room to see what was going on. His friends didn't look much different, sure their hair was a little different, but beside that they looked the same as he remembered.
"Hey, Uryu" Ichigo got out waving at the Quincy.
"So is Aizen going to be around with you all the time?"
"Yeah, I'm dating him so yeah."
Aizen was smiling beside him.
Uryu made a face at how Ichigo so easily admitted to his relationship with Aizen. Orihime had sadness in her eyes, but she offered him a smile.
"It is still hard to believe you are gay, I mean I guess it makes sense, but still it is hard to believe" Uryu said pushing up his glasses up.
"Didn't you tell Keigo you weren't" Chad got out.
Ichigo remembered that conversation and slightly nodded. "To be fair I didn't know what I was then."
"I still can't believe you ended up dating Sōsuke Aizen of all people. My money would have been on Renji or Byakuya, but never Aizen" Yoruichi said.
The two very familiar names hit home for him. What the hell did Yoruichi know? Aizen gave him an all knowing smirk when he looked at him. Ichigo hit in him in his shoulder "you proved your point" he said. Aizen rubbed where he hit him "I think I prefer the biting "he said.
His friends were looking at them. "Excuse me, you bit him" Yoruichi finally broke the silence.
"Why" Ichigo got out as he looked over Aizen.
"Because I can get away with it."
Orihime once again kept her distance. "Okay anyone want to tell me why you're acting weird." Ichigo glanced at each one of his friends. "Is this about what the head captain found about me?"
"I don't believe it" Orihime got out, her voice was shaking just a little bit.
"He did jump at the chance to tell everyone about his relationship with Aizen" Uryu said some disgust showing when he spoke Aizen's name.
"Are you serious, you don't really remember" Yoruichi said.
"You're sort of a big deal in the Soul Society. Your father as you know was a Shinigami, tenth squad captain and a Shiba. The Shiba's were once a noble family, Isshin brought disgrace among the name. That makes you somewhat of noble status Ichigo, though your mother was a Quincy. That isn't what makes you such a big deal though, it was the information that was found about you. Who you were."
"Who was that" he got out trying to stay calm. What did Katsu do?
"The head captain decided to look into who you was. You looked too much like your cousin not to. He found out why you are capable of carrying two zanpakutō. It was that fact that lead him to finding someone who we believed to have been dead for some time, that someone is your Ichigo. Or should I say Katsu."
There was the bomb dropping. "What do you know about that" Aizen was the one asking.
"We can't find much about Katsu, and I shouldn't even be telling you this. Your power is nothing compared to what it could be Ichigo. Think of yourself as a big deal, the status and the power. That is why I am surprised that they allowed you to come back here."
Ichigo looked at Yoruichi. The status and the power, what had he not known about Katsu. He thought he was from Rukon just like Aizen had been. What was the unspoken truth there? "Status and power, what do you mean Yoruichi?"
"Katsu was the runaway prince."
Ichigo's head spun, prince. There was no way he was a prince. Then he recalled what the imposter had stated, he had called him my lord. It was like he was serving him, what had Katsu done? His knees gave out from under him, Aizen caught him before he could hit the floor.
Ichigo could feel a senkaimon opening and before he knew it the door to the shop opened. Gin, Byakuya, Renji, Rukia and Kisuke stepped into the shop. "Ichigo, come on" Kisuke said pushing him into the backroom and towards the entrance to the unground training ground.
"What the hell, want to tell me what is happening?"
"Don't fight, Ichigo. We are trying to protect you, it is a good thing that you had come to Karakura town when you did" Kisuke said. Yes this was the real Kisuke, it was like he could feel it.
"Was there an attack?"
"We need to get him to safety rather than just talking out in the open" Byakuya said.
"No, I refuse to let other people fight for me. What the fuck happened?"
"The Seireitei was attacked" Rukia got out.
"By who" Ichigo got out.
"Just know that we won't allow you to fight them" Byakuya got out.
"What about my family?" If someone was after him, wouldn't his family be targeted?
"They are safe" Kisuke said. "Please Ichigo, we don't have much time" Kisuke said.
"I am going to fight. I will not just step back and hide from a battle. I will fight, that is just how I am" he got out before he felt an impact to his head and he was falling surrounded in darkness.
