Chapter 32: The Crazies.

"Two more days and we can finally say goodbye to this depressing place." Nnoitra said with a wide toothy grin on his face as he laid horizontally on the hospital room's couch, on the laps of Renji, Ikkaku and Yumichika but his legs going past the arm rest.

"Must you really place your greasy hair on my expensive jeans?" Yumichika tsked as he pulled on his brother's ear making Nnoitra whine quietly.

"Is it really greasy? Always thought it looked that way." Shuuhei added in his own two cents from the guest chair on Ichigo's right, a cheeky grin on his face. His comment got a laugh out of everyone except Nnoitra who seemed to be pouting.

"It ain't greasy and you know it." Nnoitra whined in annoyance making Ichigo chuckle into his hand, not being used to Nnoitra acting like a child.

It was a Saturday and they were all ganged up in his hospital room except for Grimmjow who left because he apparently needed to pick up something though Ichigo wondered why they didn't have better things to do than to stay with him every day. Grimmjow being the worst of them all because he had pretty much moved into Ichigo's hospital room, not even going to the Kurosaki house anymore. Ichigo frowned at that, wondering what he could do to get rid of this new fear his heroic actions had put upon Grimm.

"Your hair's growing back." Ichigo turned to the room's door to see Grimmjow closing it with his classic scowl on his face and...his hand at his back. He was hiding something but Ichigo quickly forgot about that when he noticed his boyfriend was wearing a sleeveless black jacket on top of a simple light blue shirt and black jeans.

"Grimmjow! It's winter! Dress well or you'll catch a cold you fucking moron." Ichigo chastised in a growl which turned into a glare when his boyfriend glared at him as well.

"It's not cold outside but you wouldn't know now would you?" Grimmjow growled, making even Shuuhei, Renji and Yumichika wince at how insensitive those words were.

Ichigo's glare got even more intense, to the point that Grimmjow gulped silently to himself but stood his ground, and was about to say something but his boyfriend chose that time to lean down and shut him up with a quick press of the lips and sweet words. "I missed you." Ichigo blushed brightly and turned to his side, where Shuuhei had been sitting before he moved away, giving Grimmjow the chance to plant another kiss on his cheek.

"It's too fucking weird. Just too fucking weird." Nnoitra muttered looking both amused and grossed out.

"What is?" Renji asked, his eyes too focused on his hand that Shuuhei had taken in his own when he moved to stand beside him.

"Grimmjow being whipped." The blue haired teenager decided to ignore the others who started laughing their asses off in the room, happy to pretend they never existed to begin with.

"Just got back from your place. I'm scarred for life." Grimmjow sighed as he finally brought out whatever it was he was hiding and handed it to Ichigo.

Ichigo blinked, surprised for a whole minute before his lips turned up into a beautiful warm smile that none of them were still quite used to.

He had gotten Ichigo his favorite book. Grimmjow had seen him read it thousands of times, even asking Ichigo to read it out loud for him because he wondered what was so good about the book that his Berry would read it time and time again. Ichigo had told him a week before the accident that he couldn't find it and no matter how hard he searched he couldn't find it anywhere. His Berry had told him that his mother used to read it to him all the time and it made him feel better whenever he was sick, sad or angry and Ichigo had woken up that morning from a nightmare so what did Grimmjow do? Left the room and went all over Karakura looking for the damn English classic. Seriously, some shops need to broaden their horizons. Then he had gone to check on Shiro because he hasn't come to see Ichigo yet and he was usually there before sunrise, only to have his mostly corrupt mind crawl in a corner and rock back and forth repeating 'it didn't happen. It didn't happen' over and over again.

Grimmjow sat on the bed, by Ichigo's right with his arms folded and his usual angry expression on his face as he looked at Ichigo's soft, warm and open expression of gratitude.

"Of Mice and Men? Uh what?" Ikkaku, always articulate, read the title of the book making Ichigo look at him like he was stupid.

"It's a classic you uncultured swine!" Ichigo, Yumichika and Shuuhei growled in annoyance, all being literature enthusiasts and neither even hinting at being surprised that they had said the same sentence word for word at the same time with the same tone.

Ikkaku looked between the three of them with a confused expression that was starting to look panicky from the intensity of the three men's eyes boring into his soul.

"What happened at the Kurosakis?" Nnoitra asked, saving his only friend that he thought had a 50% chance of going straight again. Ikkaku sent him a relieved grin as he wrapped his arm around a curious Yumichika then he sighed. Yeah. So not happening with feather-brow around.

"Ugh. It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen in my entire life." Grimmjow groaned as he leaned against the bedpost, his shoulders touching Ichigo's who was looking at him with curious yet impatient eyes. Grimmjow sighed and laid his head on Ichigo's shoulder, needing some kind of comfort for whatever it was he had walked into.

"Ulquiorra and Shiro were in the kitchen." Grimmjow said like yeah, that was the most terrifying thing history could ever come up with.

"Yeah and?" Shuuhei asked looking adorably confuse, as was everyone else except Nnoitra who really didn't care.

"Ulquiorra was wearing Shiro's shirt. Just Shiro's shirt. Almost every inch of his legs was covered with bite marks and that wasn't the scary part...He was smiling...and humming." Ichigo didn't get it, okay they had made love and Ulquiorra was happy. What was so bad? Apparently he and Shuuhei had missed something because the others looked like they had just walked in on big foot and the Queen of England having tea with the Mad Hatter.

"Oh that's not all. When Shiro came down, he was walking all bow legged, then...then my cousin fucking giggled like a schoolgirl and jumped into his arms. Then proceeded to tongue rape Shiro's mouth in front of my poor eyes. Shiro looked like his life force was being sucked right out of him but I'm going off topic here. Ulquiorra fucking giggled. Like Japanese schoolgirl anime giggle! I can't get it out of my head!" Grimmjow whined with an annoyed sigh leaving his lips.

"It's the apocalypse." Ikkaku stated with a firm nod of his head.

"I always thought we had a little more time. I still have things to do dammit." Renji whined with clenched fists.

"This isn't beautiful at all. Downright mortifying." Yumichika sighed, dread falling over his beautiful features.

"...Ulquiorra's the Devil. Always knew it too. Now he's bringing on our end." Even Nnoitra. Ichigo rolled his eyes while Shuuhei barked out laughing. How melodramatic can a group of guys actually be?

"You're all complete morons." Ichigo said with an irritated click of his tongue before he looked back at the new book with a fond smile on his face. It wasn't his old worn out one but it was a gift from Grimmjow which was just as precious.

"You can just read it whenever you're feeling like shit. Though I still think sex is better than a book you've read over a million times. C'mon, give it a try. I volunteer." Grimmjow mumbled as he snuggled into Ichigo's warm shoulder and trying to act like it was no big deal even though he kept leaning closer for some kind of reward.

"You're such a douche, even when you're trying to be nice." Ichigo said while he opened the book and started reading, his lips curving up slightly when Grimmjow huffed in annoyance and wrapped an arm around Ichigo's waist, snuggling into him. He went lower until he was lying down on his side with his head practically on Ichigo's lap and his arm still around his waist.

Neither of them really acknowledging the fact that their friends had left but instead being so comfortable with each other's presence. Ichigo used one hand to hold the book and another to run his hand through Grimmjow's lovely and soft blue hair, making Grimmjow doze off bit by bit.

"Shiro...said there's gonna be a...barbecue...for Christmas. That's like...so weird." Grimmjow said with his eyes closed, enjoying the feel of those long, calloused fingers on his scalp.

Ichigo let out a small laugh after hearing the news. "...Just like when we were kids. Our dad...he always randomly had barbecue parties. No matter the season, because in his opinion, barbecues bring friends and family closer." Ichigo said with a wistful look on his face. Grimmjow wanted to see that bright and genuine smile instead but was feeling too drowsy to even sit up.

"You know Berry? I wish I met your parents." Grimmjow said with a yawn but looked up when he felt Ichigo's body stiffen. The younger Kurosaki looked surprised. That was truly unexpected.

"W-Why?" Ichigo asked. He noticed how Grimmjow smiled in a sleepy way then purred, yes purred, when Ichigo ran his fingers through a particular spot on his head.

"You love them so much. Means they're important. I'd just want to meet them to see if they'd like me y'know?" He answered as he leaned into Ichigo's touch like a happy cat. Ichigo chuckled, at both his actions and words.

"I can honestly tell you that dad would've loved you. He's okay with any guy that knows how to defend himself. My mum would probably adopt you. Cute things always did get to her." Ichigo teased making Grimmjow open his eyes to glare at Ichigo.

"Who you calling cute Kurosaki?" He growled but had no idea that he was pouting. Ichigo did and decided not to even comment. He may be the manliest man to ever man but he's still too fucking cute when he was around Ichigo at least.

"Tsk. I'm a man, men aren't cute so no." Grimmjow grumbled after Ichigo didn't say anything and turned back to his book with that infuriating smile of his.

"Hmm. Whatever you say watarashi." Ichigo said not looking up from his book but the tensing up of Grimmjow let him know that he seriously did not like his nickname.

"I hate you sometimes." Grimm muttered against Ichigo's lap with his eyes closed. Ichigo nearly laughed but reigned it in. Instead he kissed his forefinger and placed it on Grimmjow's lips making the other blush and bury his head deeper into Ichigo's lap to avoid being seen.

"I love you always." Ichigo sang and barked out laughing when Grimmjow practically squeaked out the same.

How the hell did we get like this Grimmjow? I had no idea I could even love a person like this. Thanks for letting me know.

"((She's coming Grimmjow.))" Chlodwig hissed into the phone and could practically feel his son freeze up.

Grimmjow had woken up about two hours after his boyfriend had traded him till he couldn't be teased anymore to his phone ringing angrily. He was surprised that he had gotten at least forty missed calls in the last thirty minutes alone and called him back, Ichigo watching him with a questioning look in his eyes.

Ichigo could easily tell something bad was about to happen when he saw Grimmjow freeze up. His free hand started shaking and for a split agonizing second, his features turned into one of absolute, horror stricken terror. It was only for a split second for it was gone almost as soon as it had appeared and Ichigo had seen it. What's going on?

"((Why? Why is she here? What does she even want with me?!))" Grimmjow yelled into the phone in German, his anger and resentment flowing through each word. He was shaking badly, so badly that Ichigo had to get out of his bed. He had been free of his cast for a week and went for physical therapy that week almost immediately and he could walk. His last fourth week in the hospital was just clearance to see how he was doing so Ichigo was pretty much okay but Grimmjow wouldn't agree until they left the hospital.

"Grimmjow. Grimm. You need to calm down." Ichigo said softly as he took Grimmjow's shaking hand into his own. He slowly entwined their fingers, careful not to make his touch seem threatening at all because in moments like that Grimmjow tended to lash out.

"((That's Ichigo right? He shouldn't meet her.))" Chlodwig spoke again sounding like he had just fought in an underground boxing match. That fucking woman causes him so many problems.

"((I do not plan on them meeting. When did she leave our place?))" Grimmjow asked, calmer and more in control. He squeezed Ichigo's hand gently, using his Berry as an anchor to keep himself from completely losing it and he let out a relieved sigh when Ichigo squeezed back.

"((She left the house around thirty minutes ago. She guessed you'd be at the hospital considering Ichigo's crash was all over the news and left to get you. Her brat's with me and I won't accidentally lock her outside considering you actually care about the shit. I would've told you sooner but I needed to break something after she had stopped filling the air with her poison...Don't let her get to you. You get that kid?!))" Grimmjow actually grinned at that. One reason being he always did love his baby sister and the other being his dad was such a softy.

"Got it old man. Don't break your back trying to walk." Grimmjow said before cutting the call to avoid wincing at his dad yelling all kinds of swear words in his ears.

He turned to see Ichigo giving him a worried look and then realized Ichigo was out of bed. "Get back to bed." Grimmjow ordered, not really giving Ichigo time to argue and carried him to bed. He even went as far as pulling up his covers. Ichigo would've teased him about how motherly he was acting at that moment but something told him that Grimmjow was stalling and there was the fact that Grimmjow was speaking in German during the call, meaning he was hiding something.

"What's going on?" Ichigo asked, noticing Grimmjow was going to leave the room.

He stopped and looked so very tense. "...I-"

"Don't you fucking dare lie to me Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez." Ichigo ground out through clenched teeth as he slammed his fist against the wall beside his bed, a noticeable crack left there. If there was one thing he hated it would be liars.

Grimmjow shivered. Full name and he knew I was going to lie. Why the fuck is he so freaking scary?! Every time he gets angry it's like everyone in the room is suffocating.

He took a deep breath and turned back to face Ichigo, wincing when he saw a rather dark look on his boyfriend's face which eased up when he noticed the wince like a show of weakness made him less angry.

"Someone I don't like is coming here to see me." Well...he wasn't lying.

Ichigo hummed as he looked to the side, thinking it through. "Who is it?" Ichigo asked the question Grimmjow was hoping he wouldn't ask. Grimmjow didn't like lying to Ichigo but he also didn't want them to meet. He wasn't sure how that would go down, all he knew that it would probably be insanely intense and Grimmjow was...more than a little embarrassed and scared. Around her he...he became considerably weak and wasn't sure how to breath. Ichigo had already seen some of the effects of her...upbringing, he didn't want to look anymore pathetic than he probably already does in front of the one person he desperately wants to respect him.

He would never say it out loud but the Kurosakis are the strongest people Grimmjow had ever met, save Ulquiorra, and he admired them immensely for it. They had suffered. Way more than he ever had, but they're still still able to care, smile and live normally. Sure they had their own issues but they dealt with it way better than most people would and it was just so amazing. It was something he admired at the same time envied because he wasn't that strong, mentally anyways. That woman had left a scar on him that hadn't fully healed during the many years they had been apart and it affected Grimmjow greatly. He would act like it was no big deal when in his mind, all he'd want to do was hide in his closet whenever her name was so much as mentioned.

"You can tell me Grimmjow." Ichigo said softly, the pained expression on his boyfriend's face making him tone down his anger because if anything else he was worried about him. It was almost like Grimmjow was...afraid of this person.

Grimmjow would've told him. His mouth had opened to tell Ichigo, but then the door opened and Grimmjow felt all the blood in his body drain as he felt her presence mere steps behind him. When he heard her giggle he had to bite his bottom lip hard to keep himself from whimpering pathetically.

Ichigo looked past his boyfriend and was surprised to see a woman in an expensive looking lime green dress paired with a black coat and her long lime green hair styled in a wavy way with a few grey hairs and there was a long strand highlighted into a bright blue color. She had a gentle smile on her lips and to many people she looked like a beautiful though slightly old model with a kind smile but Ichigo knew better, having met people worse than the woman in front of him. Her eyes. She has the eyes of a crazy person. One that has lost her grasp with reality on multiple occasions. Who is she?

"We told you already! You cannot just barge into a patient's room without clearance. I do not give a sh-a hoot who you are or how fuc-freaking important you think you are! You are not immediate family or given clearance so...screw it. Get out of my hospital you snooty bitch." Ryuuken looked so completely done as he yelled at the expensive woman standing in front of the open room door.

"Who are you?" Ichigo asked curiously, ignoring Grimmjow's warning look and Ryuuken's rather profound glare.

The woman merely smiled, not bothering to answer Ichigo's question. In fact it was like she brushed off everyone around her except Grimmjow who seemed to desperately not want to turn around.

"Grimmjow.~" She sang his name slowly, Ichigo's polite expression turning into a glare of barely concealed rage when Grimmjow quietly yelped when she said his name.

Ryuuken clicked his tongue in annoyance and left the vicinity of the room, dragging the gawking nurses, doctors and patients away, satisfied at least that Grimmjow seemed to know the woman though his reaction meant it wasn't exactly a positive relationship. Not his problem besides the kid could take care of himself. Great. More drama. The sooner that kid leaves the sooner I only have to deal with my son's attitude. Seriously. Where the hell did he get it from?

After the doctor had left, the woman closed the door and locked it. Ichigo placed a hand on the bed's metal railings, ready to rip it off in case the woman dared to test him.

Grimmjow was shaking with his fists clenched, his head was bowed and he was looking at the ground with wide eyes that seemed to seeing something no one else was seeing.

"Grimm." Ichigo called out his name with authority yet at the same time there was warmth there.

The other blinked and slowly looked back up at his boyfriend. Ichigo wasn't surprised to see a shameful look in Grimmjow's eyes because he knew what the other felt about looking weak but they'd talk about that later.

"Who is she?" Ichigo asked, his angry look letting Grimmjow know that he better answer.

Grimmjow opened his mouth to answer but the woman spoke up making Grimmjow quickly move till he was standing beside Ichigo.

"Grimmy. Won't you greet and introduce your dear mother?"

That word alone, 'mother', seemed to have been some trigger for Grimmjow because he whimpered like a pathetic puppy and nearly fell on top of Ichigo.

Ichigo simply analyzed the woman and noted that she enjoyed watching her...son break from simply being around her.

"Grimmjow. Go take a walk. A long walk." Ichigo said gently as he took his boyfriend's hand in his took help him stay calm. Grimmjow looked down at him like he was all levels of crazy but Ichigo had his reasons. Grimmjow hates seeming weak especially in front of him so he wanted Grimmjow to leave before the woman made him crumble anymore.

He got out of the bed and pulled Grimmjow towards the door, making sure he had zero contact with the woman that was giving Ichigo a rather dirty look. He unlocked the door and that was when Grimmjow grasped his wrist and gave him a questioning look that had some fear mixed with it. "I can't leave you with her. She will try to hurt you." Grimmjow said, not caring that she was hearing him. His worry for Ichigo just added to his fear.

Ichigo glanced at the woman who had made herself comfortable on the waiting chair beside Ichigo's bed and looked back at Grimmjow with an evil smile on his face and a mad glint in his eyes. "You sure it's me you should be worried about? I'll be fine. You just go clear your head. I wanna know why she's here and if she's here to hurt you in anyway. If she is I might throw her out the window." Ichigo told him like it was something he did everyday, throwing evil mothers out windows.

Grimmjow was about to argue with him again but Ichigo shut him up with a pointed look that told him not to argue. Grimmjow was conflicted. He wanted to just leave the room and get away from the woman so that he could calm down and think straight but he really shouldn't leave her with Ichigo.

"I'll be fine. Besides, I need you to tell the receptionist that I'll be leaving tomorrow." Ichigo said with a pondering look, like he was coming up with some idea.

Grimmjow frowned at that. Two more days before he was fully cleared so Ichigo shouldn't leave the hospital. "You're not cleared yet and you're not even supposed to be out of bed dammit. Why're you so fucking stubborn?" Grimmjow growled, making Ichigo smile adorably.

"Would you have me any other way?" Ichigo asked cheekily. Grimmjow sighed at that. No, not really.

"...Your brother would kill me."

Ichigo's smile turned into a grin full of mischievous intent. "I won't let him. Scout's honor. Now go." Ichigo ordered before placing a small kiss against Grimmjow's soft lips.

"Bossy bitch." Grimmjow muttered with a pink hue present on both cheeks before he put his still shaky hands in his pockets and left the room.

"Hmm..." Ichigo turned to face the humming woman wearing clothes more expensive than his entire closet as he was simply in a pair of sweats and a large hoodie.

"So...what is it you want to talk about?" Ichigo asked as he walked back towards his bed, not to lie on it but to pick up the novella Grimmjow had gotten from him. He sat on the other guest chair directly in front of the woman with the bed in between them and opened up the page he was on. He folded his legs, placed his elbow on the arm rest and rested his cheek on his knuckles as he went back to the interesting adventures of George and Lennie as he left his ears open.

Cassandra looked at the young man calmly though on the inside she was throwing a tantrum worthy of a clinically insane person. How could a simple peasant, this absolute filth in front of me, obtain the love of my...child?! A human being above him thanks to my genes as well as Chlod's. Why does he look so poised?! So calm and elegant?! Yet powerful and unattainable?! He's a simple teenager! How dare he act like we're equals?!

"What makes you think I have anything to say to you? The person I came all the way to visit has left the room." She said calmly, folding her legs as well and letting the boy know that she was above him with the way she tilted her nose up, as if looking down on him.

"No. You have something to say to me." Ichigo stated simply as he turned the page of the book. He could feel her anger towards him but could hardly care less.

"Oh really? Tell me boy. What gave you that impression?" She asked, saying the word 'boy' with a hint of malice.

"The timing of your visit. Grimmjow had told me that he had avoided you like the plague ever since your divorce which I checked into myself because your actions should've ended with you in jail but you're not. His father seemed to not want his son to be embarrassed so all that happened was that you were divorced and a fake contract was made that Grimmjow would stay with you during holidays which he never did and you were never truly bothered about because you had the girl you always wanted with another man. You are now here because your son has been all over the news and magazines for the last three years, his publicity going through the roof after a car accident that involved how boyfriend. Which was when you decided that you needed to be involved with Grimmjow's life so you could profit from it because the man that you had married, that had given you your daughter, is bankrupt and would be completely broke by the next two and a half years tops. Oh and there's also the fact that he would be inheriting his father's business and with Ulquiorra by his side the amount of wealth they currently have would triple." Ichigo listed off his research to the stunned and horrified woman like it wasn't a huge deal a teenager had easily guessed her motives and uncovered her well hidden past like it was an easy task he found boring if nothing else.

"Where did you get such information and outrageous ideas? Honestly, is it that wrong for a mother to worry about her chi-" She had tried to play dumb, even going as far as to laugh at his 'outrageous' accusations but a chuckle from Ichigo's lips cut her off.

"I have met a lot of people. Thieves, murderers, rapists and psychopaths. All sick in their own right and way but I can honestly tell you that you are probably the worst living being I have ever had the displeasure of meeting." Ichigo's words made her spine tingle. He...he...HOW DARE HE?!

Ichigo did not give her time to lose her mind around him for he kept on talking, his amused smile turning into one of absolute disgust. "Those people may have been selfish, they may have killed, they may have done things that many would call them demons for but the real monsters are the ones that made them that way. Their mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers...people that they trusted that ultimately destroyed them. Grimmjow's lucky. He has his father whom adores him, a brother that's worried about him, friends that would forever be loyal to him...and a boyfriend who loves him with everything in him. None of us would let him suffer alone that wound you placed on him that would never heal. Tell me whatever it is you want to tell me but let me ask you something before you do so. What kind of mother hates her own child?" Ichigo's question seemed to have made the woman snap for her eyes finally showed the madness that lurked beneath and she snarled like a rabid dog.

"...I do not hate Grimmjow. He's my little princess after all." She said with a crazy grin on her face. Ichigo frowned, wondering why Grimmjow had to subjected to having such a woman as his mother.

He sighed, the sound making Cassandra flinch for it sounded almost like he pitied her.

"You're most definitely going to die alone." Ichigo said like he genuinely sounded sad but he was just feeling like the woman truly is a waste of human life. Countless people deserved the life she was wasting away and it just didn't seem fair in his eyes.

"I am not going to waste my time with the ramblings of an orphaned peasant." She said with a smirk on her lips, her composure back and looking smug. He's not the only one that did some research.

She frowned when Ichigo simply stared at her, waiting for her to continue.

"I am here to ask how much it would take for you to leave m-"

"And I'm going to stop you right there. If you finished that sentence I would truly throw you out my window but not until I had broken your skull. Don't look scared. You should've guessed that someone like Grimmjow wouldn't ever seriously date a weak link so you should've expected I would be someone you do not mess with." Ichigo said as he closed the book, the ending making him as sad as always. He spoke like he wasn't the least bit offended by her almost offer.

She was scared. Most definitely scared because even a man as powerful and opposing as Chlodwig had never been able to keep his composure and would start yelling at her, Grimmjow simply crumbled whenever she walked into the room. Strong willed men have not been able to surprise or stun her in years yet here was a simple teenager who looked at her like she was nothing but gum under his shoes. The boy wore grey sweatpants while she had on a tailored dress from Paris yet he looked like he was above her. She hated men like that. Men that tried to suppress her because they knew she was better than them.

"You can't honestly tell me you love that child? Yes he's handsome and has wealth but what else is there but a talentless brat who can't get anything right? I am offering you easy money and a chance to leave his unbearable presence. If you are interested, I could even throw in a night in an extravagant hotel, with me as your company." She still spoke up, unzipping her jacket to reveal a cleavage that would have any man ready to jump her at the get go, trying to finally grave out those parts of most humans that she knew she could appeal to. Greed and lust.

She felt like she had finally caught him when his eyes looked down at her chest but then Ichigo closed his eyes and got off his seat, the book falling from his lap to the ground.

"You're one pathetic woman. I feel bad for that little girl under your care. So what I understand from your visit is that you want me to leave your son. Probably to get more control on him because I wouldn't be there to help him through his trauma or you want to pair him with someone that would do your bidding. I am warning you right now because I cannot just do anything considering you're still a mother of a young child whom I believe you haven't tried to destroy considering she's the little girl you always wanted but you must know that if you try to cause any problems with with Grimmjow I might end up killing you. Might because I tend to lose control on occasion when the people I love are threatened. You have no power and at this moment you seem like a desperate girl whoring herself around for cheap change. Truly pathetic. Now get out of my room before I call security." Ichigo told her simply, him standing up with his arms folded and a bored expression on his handsome face made him seem even more menacing. That ugly scar she had mentioned before just added to his terrifying aura and for the first time a long while, since Chlod had caught her punishing Grimmjow, she had no idea what to do.

"I love him. I love him more than I thought it was possible. From his whining to his douchebag comments, from his glares to his trying to assert his manliness, from his cute smiles to his weird cat like habits. I love every single thing about him. The thought of him makes me so fucking giddy I can't stand it. I hate that it was you but I am grateful that you had brought him into this world. That probably being the only good thing you had done in your entire existence. Thank you for that at least. You're not really even needed anyways. Since you can't give him any love like you're supposed to, I'll just love him more. I'll love him so much that he wouldn't be able to remember a time he wasn't ever loved. So your work is done." Ichigo told her with a genuinely thankful smile. He moved towards the door and opened it, not even the least bit surprised that Grimmjow was standing right there but he did chuckle to see that the brute was giving him one of those cute smiles.

She couldn't handle anymore embarrassment and left the two teenagers that seemed to have even forgotten about her as soon s the door had been closed.

"...You heard? All of it?" Ichigo asked as he pulled his boyfriend in for a hug. He guessed as much that Grimmjow wouldn't just take a walk like he had asked him to. Nobody could really tell Grimmjow to do whatever he didn't want to do.

Grimmjow nodded, his nose on the crook of Ichigo's neck as he took deep breaths but he was smiling. It sucked. Nobody wanted to hear their own mother call you worthless, or try and bribe the one you love to leave you or the fact that you're famous and wealthy being the only reason she'd want to even acknowledge your existence. It really...really sucked that she couldn't ever love him and he wanted to just act like a scared little kid again and cry about it but he was more happy than sad because Ichigo loved him. Ichigo was willing to go as far as to threaten a person's life just because she had said such horrible things about him. Ichigo had even thanked her just because she had been involved with his creation despite how horrible she is, despite how clear it was Ichigo hated her. He even said Grimmjow made him giddy. Ichigo's words really got to him.

His childhood sucked. His mother sucks. His sanity would forever suck but he was still happy because his life would never really suck.

His dad, Ulquiorra, Renji, Nnoitra, Yumichika, Ikkaku, Shuuhei...

"Don't ever let her get to you. She's nothing but a pathetic creature with nothing to really live for. I'm sorry she couldn't love you though that's her loss. I do not understand how anyone couldn't love an adorable dumbass like you." Ichigo teased, using his fingers to play with the hairs on the nape of Grimmjow's neck, happy he had gotten a small laugh out of his tense boyfriend and feeling happy himself when Grimmjow tightened his arms.

...Ichigo. He had Ichigo.

"I still sometimes can't believe you're mine. How the hell did that happen?" Grimmjow said, his voice full of disbelief. Ichigo pecked his cheek, not really liking Grimmjow's words.

"I am not an angel Grimmjow. Sometimes...sometimes I wonder the same thing about you. Ever since that kiss on your secret base, you've treated me like I'm worth something, like I'm so very important. Not like the scarred delinquent everyone else had seen. I'm not some angel. I just love you so much that it seems almost too much. I don't care what your opinion of it is but I will never let that witch hurt you Grimmjow. Not again, and you can say some bullshit about you not being a damsel in distress, I could care less. Deal the fuck with it." Grimmjow snickered. Ichigo could be quite the romantic.

"Do whatever the fuck you want Kurosaki." Grimmjow said with a click of his tongue, though his smile had only grown.

Yeah. My life can never suck. Take that my whore of a mother.

"Another thing. I'm pretty sure I asked you to tell them I'm leaving tomorrow. You didn't did you?" Grimmjow tensed from the tip of his hair to the top of his toes.

Well...my not so suckish life might not last that long. Why am I always around the crazies?

Hey there!

So...that update am I right?

I am extremely tired and we are experiencing some freaky heatwave in Ireland so excuse the poorly written content. I'd probably edit this later but right now I'm dying in a puddle of sweat so excuse me.

Please review anyways. Again sorry about this poorly written update. I apologize times infinity.

That's all folks!

Ciao from,
