Ch2
Nel set the kittens on the kitchen island and searched through her fridge for food. She found left over ham covered in plastic wrap. "Do you guys like ham?" Nel asked pulling out a plate and setting it on the counter. "I'll cut it up for you guys." After she cut up the meat, she heats it up and put the meat in two bowls. She smiled as she watched them eat. "I'll be right back, okay?" She skipped into the living room leaving the kittens to eat their chopped up meat. After they finished their food, they pushed their bowls to the edge of the sink.
Midnight walked over to the stopper by the faucet and pushed it in. He hopped into the sink and pushed the stopper into the hole. With Berry's help, he climbed out of the sink. Midnight sat by the cold handle and Berry sat by the hot handle. They pushed the handles and turned on the water. The kittens hop over to the soap and knock it over. While Berry held on to the end, Midnight hopped on top the soap and pushed open the top. Midnight meowed when the green liquid created bubbles as soon as it hit the water.
Midnight hopped off and Berry pushed the bottle of soap away from the sink. Both pushed their bowls into the sink, but Midnight slipped and fell in. Berry snickered at the other kitten's clumsiness. Midnight climbed into one of the bowls and hit the water with his paw. He splashed the orange kitten with the soapy water and he hissed. Berry tackled Midnight off the bowl and both fell into the water. "My, my, what a mess." A hand picked up Midnight and laid him on his towel covered arm. The hand then picked up Berry and laid him next to Midnight.
The hands started rubbing the kitten's fur dry. "Who do you two belong to?" Berry just meowed while Midnight rubbed his head against the hand. "Can't leave you two by yourselves. You might get hurt." Both kittens meow in response, but snuggle into the towel. Midnight looks up at the owner's face. He had silver hair, a wide smirk and closed eyes. "Those eyes remind me of my boss's missing nephew." That's when the man made realization. "You are him." The black kitten tilted his head and looked at the man in confusion. "I'll let the others figure it out later."
"Midnight, Berry, it's time for you to go to your homes."

Nel stops in the doorway to see Gin holding the kittens in a towel. "Awe, so cute. But, why are they all wet?" Gin turned his body so she could see the sink. "I caught them trying to wash dishes, but I doubt you'll believe me." She looked from the man to the sink full of water, soap, and the bowls floated atop. "You said they did this?" Gin nodded and moved closer to whisper in her ear. "I think the black one is the boss's nephew, but I'd rather wait for them to notice it." She nodded.
Gin hands her the towel wrapped kittens and turns to leave. He stopped in the doorway. "I really think they'll be good for them both, so don't ruin it so early. See ya later." Nel finished drying the kittens off and head back into the living room. Only Grimmjow and Ulquiorra remained in the living room. "Everyone left already?"
"Prior engagements." Ulquiorra answered not looking up from his book. "Well it's time to take the little kitties to the store for food and toys." Nel said excitedly. "Let's take Ulqui's car." The raven looked up from his book with a raised eyebrow. Nel turns to him with puppy dog eyes. "Come on, Ulqui. Grimmy walked here and my license is suspended til next week." Nel whined and hopped over to him. "Come on Ulqui. You're the only one with transportation." Nel held the kittens to his face. "Come on. They need stuff to live." Ulqui sighed. "Fine." He checked his watch. "Let's go now. The stores should be opening soon." Nel smiled. "I'll go get my coat and we leave." Nel handed over the half dry kittens to Ulquiorra and ran off.
"Nice house she's living in. Who's her boyfriend now?" Grimmjow asked since Nel never tells him about her love life. "Nicholas Frieya. He prefers to be called Nikki Owns the franchise Childish delights and Midnight desires as well as several clubs around the world." Ulquiorra answered while drying off the kittens. "Wait. The one that owns that children's candy and toy stores and the adult theme novelty and candy?"
"Yes."
"You're shitting me." Ulquiorra shook his head no. "They've been dating for three years. She thought about telling you, but she hasn't figured out how."
"Simple. Fucking say something." Grimmjow pouted while folding his arms. "I want to meet him. Won't be happy til I fucking do."
"So, you're Grimmjow." Both heads turn to the door. He was 6'3". He had long dirty blonde hair that stopped at his waist and tan skin. His fringes had three blue beads on each side and his hair was tied in a ponytail. He wore a white button down with the first three buttons undone and black pants. "Nel has told me so much about you. I've been trying to meet you forever, but Nel just kept saying no." Nikki explained as he walked closer to the duo. He sat on the sofa next to Ulquiorra.
"Nice to see you again, Ulquiorra." Grimmjow raised an eyebrow. "You two met?"
"He's my financial advisor. We meet every week. Harribel's my personal assistant. Yammy's in charge of security. Gin's in charge of human resources." Nikki explained. "You fucking kidding me?" Grimmjow glared at the pale man. "Needed the money." Ulquiorra said shrugging. "We all did. You should be happy that you had your trust fund." Ulquiorra rubbing the head. "Cute kittens." Nikki picked up Midnight and scratched behind his ear making him purr loudly. "If you need a job, I can give you one. Just tell me your interests and abilities. I also own a modeling agency if we can't find anything for you." Grimmjow soon found himself grinning madly. "Better than sitting in the house not doing anything."
"Nikki." Nel hops over to the three men with a pout. "I didn't want you to meet him yet." She whined. "It's been two years, Nel. How long were you going to make them wait?" Ulquiorra asked. "When he finds a steady lover. That way I can rub it in without feeling guilty." Nel jumped in Nikki's lap and hugs him tightly without squishing Midnight. "The fuck?! You're an asshole, Nel. Two fucking years? If I didn't have one then, why would I have one now?"
"Well, if you can find someone, maybe they can help you lo-" Before she could finish, Grimmjow's hand reached her mouth. "Don't fucking tell anyone that." He removed his hand to let her speak. "Why not, Grimmy? You shouldn't be embarrassed. It doesn't define you." He scowled at the woman. "I'll never live it down if they found out."
"But-"
"You should leave it alone, Nel. You won't understand a man's pride. There are just certain things to be left alone." She sighs, but gives in. "Okay." Nikki couldn't help but laugh at the siblings' bickering. "Grimmjow, I have something for you. Come with me." Nikki tapped Nel's leg. She reluctantly moved next to Ulquiorra. Nikki motioned for the younger brother to follow.
