I know, it's been AGES since i updated, i'm sorry i got the flu and since i had an operation in december the flu hit me like a ton of bricks and floored me completely.

So i hope you enjoy this chapter, think it's the biggest of the fic so far. Thanks to all the reviewers, and the ones i've been chatting to with PM, for some reason it's awesome to get to know someone who is into this kinda stuff, i don't have anyone in the real world to talk to about this and would probably get weird looks if i mentioned yaoi - weirder ones from those who know what that is mind you.

Love you all, the epic reviewers, the two liners and the silent stalkers, you know who you are, i can see my fic view counter but as long as some one is enjoying this nonsense i have no problems. though it turns out i don't react well to hints of flame, for a bit of a burn for a two shot i posted last week and it put me off writing for a couple of days. I'm sure when i'm not feeling like utter shit physically my back bone is a bit stronger.

Anyway, enjoy, let me know if you do, and if you don't please be kind!

Chapter 15

Sophia had given the ward nurse a hard time, berating her for daring to put a boy in with a rapist. The nurse had been unable to get a word in edgewise for a while before she had relented, finally agreeing with the woman. She had got the doctor down and although the man had tried to placate her, Sophia didn't relent, pushing and pushing until they had no option but to allow her to take the boy home. She was told he would need hourly checks to make sure he didn't suffer any complications from his head injury and she would have to sign off on the prescriptions for the pain killers. Parental responsibility got murky as kids approached their majority but Starrk's involvement meant he could claim rights over the family temporarily.

She was out at the pharmacy getting the tablets her son's boyfriend would need as the boy got dressed and Starrk re-entered the building, recognising his wife from the back. She was always dressed impeccably, today in a cream bodycon dress and tan heels, her hair up in a high pony tail that swung over her shoulder as she turned to him.

"Coyote, how could someone hurt a boy like that?" She only used his proper name when she was upset and he put his arm around her for support as soon as she'd uttered it.

He took a deep breath and let it out through his teeth. "He saw something he wanted and took it. Ichigo has been hiding things for so long that he couldn't ask for help, he probably doesn't know how. From the little I could gather the man saw him at the kid's work and when he appeared in class the guy couldn't help himself. I hope he'd strong enough to get past this."

"Grimmjow will help him; they seem to be really close."

Starrk chuckled at the concern on his wife's face. "Yeah, they are that close. And hopefully it will help. What's our plan then?"

"The boy is coming home with us and you are going to put a complaint into the hospital administrators. He'd just been set up for the night when they wheeled that monster in opposite him. I thought Grimmjow was going to pull the curtain off the rail at first but I don't blame him. I got the nurse to agree for us to take him home and take care of him for a couple of days. How could someone actually thing that was going to be a good idea, that it wasn't going to traumatise the boy even more?" Sophia was visibly worked up about it.

"Yeah that's not on. I'll have a word. I guess we'd better go and get the kids then eh?" He escorted his wife to Ichigo's bedside, the curtain still drawn round the boy's area and Starrk parted it briefly to let them through, seeing the dressed boy sitting on his bed and Grimmjow standing over him, fury to match his mother's written on his face.

"Do you see who they've put across from here?" Grimmjow was stroking a hand through the longer strands of hair on the back of Ichigo's head.

"Yes, your mother has got me up to speed. And don't worry; I will be speaking to the hospital about this. If it's happening tonight, it has happened before. You ready to go kid?" Ichigo turned and nodded, his face still very pale with the large bruise on his head looking darker as a result. The boy went to lift his bag but Starrk beat him to it, just raising an eyebrow before turning to leave the area. He held a hand up, signalling the boy to wait a moment before he walked across the small ward and pulled the curtain around Aizen's bed, not looking at the man in the bed but exchanging a nod with his guard. He returned to Ichigo's side and pulled the curtain back, seeing Ichigo's eyes immediately darting to the opposite side and the boy visibly relaxing as he saw he wasn't going to have to see his teacher.

Sophia insisted on taking the boys home, saying her car was more comfortable for the injured boy and no one argued, the girls all piling into Starrk's car and following the Mercedes home. Ichigo sat in the passenger's seat, his eyes heavy as he fought sleep and he lost the battle just as Sophia pulled into their street. They were first back and as she pulled the parking brake on, Grimmjow came round from behind her seat and opened the passenger door. Sophia unplugged the belt around the boy, gently allowing it to feed back before Grimmjow lifted the boy, Ichigo opening his eyes at the motion but then allowing them to drift as he saw who had him. He snuggled into his boyfriend's grip and seemed to go back to sleep. Grimmjow was glad of his developed upper body, the man in his arms wasn't a light weight but he made it up to the bedroom and his mother pulled his duvet down, allowing him to slide the man under the covers, covering him up with a kiss to the forehead before he left.

They were walking back downstairs when Sophia stopped her son, grabbing his upper arm in her small hand. "Grimmjow, I owe you an apology." Grimmjow turned, his eyebrows both up. "I judged him too quickly; he is a nice boy and didn't need me screaming at him. I'm sorry."

"I think it's him you owe the apology to then, it didn't really give him a good first impression."

"I know, and I will apologise. But you didn't deserve to have me judging your first real relationship like that. I only want you to be happy, I hope you know that."

"I do know that mum. And thank you for the apology; I know it must have been a bit of a shock to see me with a boyfriend. Thanks for letting me bring him home tonight as well; I couldn't have left him there alone." Grimmjow clutched his mum's jaw, stroking her face gently. It had been a long time since they had exchanged touch in tenderness, Grimmjow thinking he should hug his mum more often.

"I couldn't have left him there either. Do you want an airbed to sleep in the room with him as well?" Sophia's voice was a bit high, like she was hopeful that they weren't actually sleeping together, regardless of what Starrk had said earlier.

Grimmjow chuckled at his mother's naivety. "My bed is big enough for both of us, just like his is big enough when I sat over at his. I can promise that nothing is going to happen tonight alright?" He gave her a quick squeeze, smiling down at her as he finished the walk down the stairs, still chuckling at his mother.

Starrk and the girls were in the kitchen when he got down the stairs, each of them with a can of juice and snacks out for them to share. Grimmjow was glad Ichigo the health freak was sleeping as he grabbed his own drink and snagged a tortilla chip. Nothing was really said as they stood around and Starrk eventually sent the girls up stairs so he could talk to his step son about the events of the day.

"I need to phone his work, tell them he's not going to be in tonight." Grimmjow was leaning against the breakfast bar, his stepdad just to his side with a hand in his pocket and his ankles crossed.

"I'll need to phone his work and have a word about their recruitment process." He took a slug out of the drink. "When is he eighteen?"

"Next month. He's going to lose his job isn't he?"

"Nothing I can do about that. I'll need to prosecute the owner of the club so a few other people could be out of jobs as well. How the hell did he get into that kind of work? And from what I saw today he has been doing it for a while to have that kind of physique."

"One of the kids that used to be in his foster home trained him up; the man was five years older than Ichigo and was working for this club. His name was Zan and the club took dancers from 16 so I guess he started legal. He had to move back here just so he wouldn't have to pay rent and the only club nearby was an eighteen or over club so he had to smudge the details to get a job. I think the fact he had a recommendation from another club helped him."

"Well if he wants to go back after he is eighteen then that's fine. It's not like he'll be able to dance for a couple of weeks anyway. And maybe I'll just need to have a quiet word with the owner."

Grimmjow let out a big sigh. "And his sisters? Are you contacting child services about them?"

"Nope, got custody over them in absentia. Means I am responsible for their health, education and upbringing but they don't have to stay here. Promise me you won't break up with the kid before he can take over? It could get interesting if I have to deal with feuding exes, again."

Grimmjow gave the man a big grin, bumping shoulders with him as they stood side by side. They were about the same height, Starrk having a more willowy build but clearly he had a back bone of steel.

"And you? Have you heard back from any of the colleges or universities you applied to?"

Grimmjow nodded. "Yup, got three conditional offers, all for local places too. Not going to go too far.

"I wonder why?"

iiiiiii

Ichigo was kept off school for a week for his mental health as well as his physical recovery. His head had normalised after the weekend but was still hurting severely all the next week. The tongue had healed faster than he'd thought it would and he was speaking normally by the Monday, the stiches getting removed on the Friday with an order for no stress on the wound for another week.

All that had meant was that Ichigo could return any of the blowjobs Grimmjow had been bestowing on him that next weekend. He had Ichigo begging him to fuck him by the Saturday night but Grimmjow didn't want to rush the boy after an assault.

Aizen was taken into custody after being released the day after the attack and was pleading not guilty on the charges of assault, sexual assault, rape and coercion of a minor under his care. The STD panel had come back negative for Ichigo but the evidence collected from the boy had been quite weak, only a trace of fluid on the boy's backside that was possibly from the man. Thankfully the rest of the evidence was backing up the charges, the testimonies from the teachers, Starrk and Grimmjow as well as the two boys who had been witness to the attack the week before as well. Both boys were suspended from school for purposefully watching a crime as well as bullying and taunting the victim in between. Starrk was trying to drum up some sort of criminal charge to throw at them in his disgust at their actions. He had interviewed them separately; both boys shitting bricks as they sat opposite him in his office at the police station. Their parents were present due to their ages but they had been equally disgusted at their son's actions and the boys' immediate futures were looking bleak. They had squealed about watching the teacher attack their classmate, happening by the incident by accident during outdoor practice as they were running laps around the building. They had been witnesses at Aizen's trial but Starrk had assured them that it wasn't enough to get them off the hook. Ichigo had been reluctant to stand at the trial and was too old to give evidence via video camera in another room, so he had to stand in the witness dock and answer questions from both sides. Sophia had got him a black suit for the trial and he was wearing a black shirt and tie, his hair glowing brightly in comparison to the dark shade.

The trial had been three months after the attack giving him plenty of time to physically recover from the assault but he still cried himself to sleep in Grimmjow's arms that night after having to relive it all. It was mainly the shame of what he'd been made to do and he wanted nothing but for the larger boy to take his mind off it yet Grimmjow had refused, just holding him as he lost his temper then melted into tears.

Grimmjow's defence was that he wanted Ichigo to want to make love to him, not use him to forget about someone else.

They hadn't been celibate for three months however, both boys having turned eighteen by the time of the trial, Ichigo just after Christmas and Grimmjow at the end of February and both times they had indulged in each other but Grimmjow was still hesitant to start anything with his lover.

Ichigo had been demanding at his own birthday and giving at his lover's. They had been at Ichigo's house on his eighteenth, not wanting to make a big deal of it they had just had dinner with Grimmjow's family before going back to the clinic and taking advantage of the girls staying away.

Grimmjow hadn't been inside Ichigo since it had happened, and only twice before that so he was over keen but still sensitive to his lover's needs, sucking on him and tonguing his entrance until the boy screamed. Ichigo had been held gently as Grimmjow thrust inside the first time, the pair of them entwined as Grimmjow thrust deeply but slowly bringing them both to completion at that pace and they slipped over the edge with gasps being swallowed down the other's throat.

Ichigo had then jumped on top of Grimmjow kissing him harder and grinding his awakening erection against the other, feeling it slowly fill in response. He kissed and nipped down the broad neck, tweaking at the nipples hard and stroking hands around the cocks that were both at full attention quickly. His teasing increased until Grimmjow groaned out, flipping them over and settling in between the other's legs, slowing things down again. Ichigo wasn't allowing that though and raised his legs up, his entrance lining up with Grimmjow's dick.

"Are you wanting fucked into the bed?" Grimmjow only had so much self-control.

"Hell yes, I've wanted that for a month." Ichigo wiggled out of his lover's grip and turned onto his front, leaving his ass high in the air. "Fuck me harder than you have ever before. I don't want to walk tomorrow." Ichigo looked up from his prone position, his warm brown eyes full of want.

Grimmjow came up to his knees, rubbing his hand over his stiff member as he looked at the little entrance in front of him. His cum from the last round was still weeping out of the boy as the pucker twitched and he ran his fingers over it, sinking two in to feel the pressure. It was still tight and it was so moist he moaned out loud, lining up his dick as he smoothed a hand over the other's back. He went slowly, intending to control himself but the way Ichigo moved on him, ending each thrust with a jolt and the noises the smaller boy let out should be downright illegal leaving Grimmjow with no choice but to give him what he wanted, fucking him hard, red marks appearing on the boy's ass cheeks from the impact. Ichigo screamed out as his prostate was punished and he arched his back more. Grimmjow snuck a hand round, holding the erection bouncing under him as he ploughed into the man he loved, his rhythm eventually suffering as his orgasm approached. He angled his thrusts, fighting to not cum before the other boy and it was a close thing, Ichigo just cresting as Grimmjow went, the feeling of Ichigo's walls at their strongest being more than he could cope with and he collapsed on top of the boy disregarding the mess under them. Ichigo had turned, kissing him fiercely as they dozed lightly, Ichigo eventually dragging Grimmjow up to go and clean up before they slept for the rest of the night and only having one round the next morning.

Grimmjow birthday had been a bigger affair with Sophia throwing him a party at the house and inviting Grimmjow's friends from school and basketball as well as Ichigo and his sisters. Grimmjow's birth father had come for the meal earlier in the day but had left before the rowdy teens had started to party and Sophia had taken her husband out to a hotel that night as well to give the teens a free house on the threat that any damage was coming out of Grimmjow's hide.

The party had been great, ending with Grimmjow and his closest friends only, Nnoitra and Shinji having claimed a couch to dry hump on, the longer male lying on his back as his smaller lover danced over him. Nnoitra had his hands firmly attached to Shinji's hips and was grinding up into them as their tongues clashed, both boy's having had enough to drink that they weren't censoring their noises. Nel had sent the younger girls up to bed a while ago and Ichigo and Grimmjow were sitting together on the floor, Ichigo sitting between Grimmjow's legs and leaning against his chest as he necked his beer out the bottle. Grimmjow was holding his own beer in one hand and was resting his other on Ichigo's belt with his thumb caressing the skin above it. Grimmjow slipped that hand underneath Ichigo's waist band and the boy turned his head, smirking at his lover as Grimmjow pressed a firm kiss onto his lips, hand over his dick as it stroked it though the boxers. Ichigo snaked a hand behind him, palming Grimmjow's erection pressing into his back.

"Want a present?" Ichigo smirked at Grimmjow raising his eyebrow as he wondered what the other meant and nodded. Ichigo stood, pressing a kiss to the other's lips and swayed his hips slightly as he walked, not like a chick just moving his firm ass to make sure he had Grimmjow's full attention. The room was currently just them and Nnoitra and Shinji as the others were either in the kitchen at the snacks or in the living room where Grimmjow's PlayStation 4 was set up and Ichigo didn't mind the small audience they had. He went up to the laptop playing the music and clicked a song, coming to stand in front of his lover as he started to move to the beat, Will I. Am's voice coming out with the beat. Ichigo was wearing his usual tight jeans and was in a white t-shirt with a waist coat over the top. He kicked off his slippers and pulled his feet back to remove his socks, dropping them on the indoor footwear Sophia had got him before he dropped into wide splits, pulling himself out towards his lover across the floor. He rolled onto his back, looking up into his lover's eyes as he pulled his legs straight up, putting his hands over his shoulders and pushing up to hold himself in a handstand, Grimmjow's eyes roaming his body as it moved with grace. One foot was planted on the floor right at Ichigo's head and he put his weight onto it, pulling his arms around it. He pushed off his leg and spun, landing on his other leg in a crouch right over Grimmjow's extended legs. He dropped to his hands and pulled himself across the legs and up his lover's body, nuzzling his neck as he pressed their lower bodies together. 'Feelin Myself' was a good song to have picked as he thrust into the hard dick to the beat as he straddled Grimmjow's powerful legs. Grimmjow dragged him closer by threading an arm round his lower back but Ichigo just laid back over that arm, laying his back in between their legs, his covered entrance right above Grimmjow's dick. Grimmjow couldn't help the thrust up he did at the submissive sight in front of him, the exposed flesh at Ichigo's waist showing his defined body as well as the top of his underwear. Grimmjow clutched at Ichigo's thigh, his other arm trapped underneath Ichigo's back as it twisted impossibly back. Ichigo's arms were out behind him lying on the floor as he used muscles he could name to move his body over the one under him, stimulating him. He opened his eyes to see the boys on the couch watching him move, Nnoitra with one hand down the back of Shinji's beige trousers as he pressed his face to the boy's chest as he ground the smaller boy into him. Grimmjow bent down, trailing his tongue over the skin at Ichigo's waist, pushing up the t-shirt to get better access until he could pull the silver bar in Ichigo's nipple between his teeth. Ichigo's cry at his move made the others in the room moan and Ichigo raised his legs, wrapping them round Grimmjow and holding him tightly as Grimmjow continued to worship the body under him. Ichigo pulled his face up, devouring his mouth thoroughly as he rode on the man, their moves getting desperate.

"I'm going to fuck you right here if you don't stop," Grimmjow growled into Ichigo's mouth.

"If you don't mind the audience then neither do I, might want to lock the door though." Ichigo smirked at his lover at his surprise. "Seriously, I think they are about to start on each other anyway." He pressed another serious kiss onto Grimmjow's lips before standing, heading to the door to turn the key. "Well boys, last chance to get out. The birthday boy wants sex, up to you whether you watch or not."

Nnoitra's eyes were large as he faltered, clutching his smaller lover to him as he processed the request.

"Only watch? Or can we join in?" Shinji wasn't shy at coming forward with what he wanted.

Ichigo smirked and turned the key, leaving it in the lock as he pulled the curtains on the window afterwards. "Well that is an idea. What do you think Grimm? Shinji wants to play."

Nnoitra and Grimmjow exchanged a look as their boyfriends came together, Shinji getting off his lover with a wink as Ichigo held him firmly, kissing him and stroking his tongue with his bar, Shinji moaning at the sensations. Ichigo pushed the blonde's braces off his shoulders and yanked his tie loose without breaking the kiss, thumbing the buttons at his neck open to expose the flesh to his hot mouth. He explored while looking over the boy's shoulder at his lover, meeting his eyes.

Grimmjow came up behind Shinji, pulling Ichigo's head up and in to his, the sight of his hot boyfriend licking another getting to much for him. Nnoitra was standing behind Ichigo, one hand in his boyfriend's hair and the other running down Ichigo's side.

"No one but me is fucking Ichigo, I don't mind seeing him with Shinji some more though." Grimmjow was looking at his best friend as he spoke, knowing the blonde was a total submissive and wouldn't take Ichigo. Nnoitra smirked over the other two's heads.

"I don't mind who does what as long as I get to fuck someone. It's up to Shinji though; I won't make him do anything he doesn't want to. Well pet, what do you want?" Nnoitra pulled gently on Shinji's head, pulling it away from where he'd been kissing Ichigo again.

"I want you, always." Shinji looked at Ichigo who was currently being molested by his boyfriend, Grimmjow having pulled the t-shirt back up, exposing the tanned, inked skin as he devoured Ichigo's long neck. "But I can't say I don't want him as well." Ichigo winked at him, using one of his hands to pull the blonde's waist close, grinding his erection against the others. "So when you say no one is fucking Ichigo, does that count if he's fucking someone else?"

Grimmjow groaned at the thought, his hand snaking into Ichigo's jeans, growling as he fought with the tight material. He yanked his lover round and held him close as he ripped the jeans open, pushing them down and exposing his lover. He tossed Ichigo onto the couch following him as he peeled the rest of the trousers off and threw them to the side, the waist coat and t-shirt following soon after. Nnoitra got Shinji into a similar position next to Ichigo and the friends roamed their lovers' bodies, enjoying the noises escaping from the smaller men.

"So let me get this straight, Ichi's going to fuck Shin, you're getting to fuck Ichi, does that mean I get to fuck you?" Nnoitra wasn't serious but he didn't want to get left out. Grimmjow jerked his head up, not wanting to shoot his friend down nastily but there was no way in hell that was going to happen.

"Don't fret, I've got that covered." Ichigo pecked his lover on the nose and smiled saucily.

The final position was Nnoitra on the couch, legs spread as his boyfriend deep throated him, moving in time with the thrusts Ichigo was making into him. Ichigo was on his knees behind Shinji, head thrown back as he was double fucked, inside Shinji as Grimmjow gripped him from behind. Even though it was Grimmjow's birthday, Ichigo felt like it was birthday, Christmas and graduation all rolled into one as the silken walls around his cock tensed and released, his own entrance getting punished by the firm thrusts from his powerful lover. He was doing his best to not just fuck Shinji into oblivion like he wanted to but it was a near thing. It was a good job Nnoitra's arms were long enough to reach Shinji's dick as Ichigo was incapable of helping the blond reach completion due to his double stimulation. He lost his beat and came hard, clutching at the narrow hips in front of him, mirroring cries coming from the other three men involved. Ichigo pulled Shinji up, turning the boy as he started to kiss him, backing the blond up until he was straddling the black haired man behind him. Ichigo pressed him back, bringing his feel onto Nnoitra's long legs, Grimmjow pausing as Ichigo started rearranging and groaned quietly as Ichigo lined up Nnoitra's erection with Shinji's dripping entrance, the blond crying out as the longer cock sank into him. Ichigo lay over him wrapping a hand around both of their erections, his own coming back to hardness just from the situation and he looked over his shoulder, his lined eyes staring straight into Grimmjow's soul and the blue haired man was quick to re insert his dick and start really fucking his boyfriend. He'd been holding back due to the delicate arrangement but now that Ichigo wasn't inside anyone anymore he was able to really thrust, hilting into the man every time. Ichigo and Shinji moaned and mewled into each other's mouths as their seme's fucked them, the pair oragasming against each other. Grimmjow eventually lifted his lover, perching on the side of the couch next to Nnoitra and using his upper body strength to crash his lover onto him, Ichigo lying almost limp in his grasp. Nnoitra flipped his lover round and found his own completion from behind his boyfriend, Shinji in a similar state to Ichigo. The four collapsed onto the carpet, white stains on the beige fabric from the multitude of orgasms between them and all four panting as they calmed down.

"That was intense." Shinji's eyes were closed and he just curled up in his bigger lover's arms.

"It sure was, happy birthday to me." Grimmjow pressed a kiss into Ichigo's sweat soaked hair.

It had been an interesting clean up but finally the boring colour his mother insisted on came in handy, all stains had lifted. Nel had given them hell the next day knowing fine well what had been going on in the room she'd found locked, it wasn't exactly sound proof. Well she didn't know exactly what had gone on and the four had agreed to possibly a repeat in the future but having no regrets, Ichigo giving Shinji a good bye kiss the next day.

The night after Ichigo's appearance in the trial had been a long one, Ichigo waking up with a jolt a few times in the night until Grimmjow just put the light on and held him, both giving up on trying to get any sleep.

Grimmjow had heard the witness statements, knowing what the boy had gone through had only made him angrier at the teacher. Aizen had been suspended without pay until the result of the trial was released and Ichigo's physics class was without a teacher but thankfully the boy was smart enough to get through his course work with a little help from his friends, Shuuhei and Ulquiorra helping him tutor Nnoitra as well.

Ichigo hadn't been impressed that the preliminary exams were the same week as the trial and was having difficulty concentrating on his revision but since these were just practice exams he wasn't going to get himself majorly stressed about it. The physics one seemed to be the easiest of the five he had to sit, technically six if you counted both math papers and he was glad of the weekend in front of him. He had no work obviously, the boss of the club he'd been dancing in had asked him to resign after promising to pay him three months wages if he didn't go public about his underage dancing; Ichigo was pretty sure Starrk had something to do with the remuneration but he wasn't going to complain. Grimmjow was taking care of most of the bills he couldn't and they three of them were staying at his boyfriend's most of the time anyway, the two girls sharing the spare room Lilynette used to use. The little green haired woman didn't spend nights there anymore due to Starrk being forced to be awake during the day for the investigation and trial into Sousuke Aizen and Sophia seemed to mellow as her husband was around more. Ichigo had casually suggested to his boyfriend that maybe the reason she's calmed down was more due to the fact they were going to bed at the same time, rather than getting up together. Grimmjow had grimaced at the through of the parentals having sex but he guessed he couldn't complain too much.

The future was peeking out from behind the clouds, teasing Ichigo with its potential and he looked forward to seeing what he could make of it.

The plan is that this isn't the end. Going to take the boys off to college and see what happens there, Ichigo trying to live a normal life etc got a great idea for his new job too. Tell me what you think! (Or if you liked my insistence to guessing earlier in the fic, what is Ichi gonna do?)
