The Sexta and the Strawberry

Chapter 2

Grimmjow's Pov

Its late at night, around 1:43am specifically. As I lay in my bed unable to sleep, I hear a noise. It sounds like small whimpers. As I sit up in my bed, I swing my legs over the edge of the bed and sit there. I started to rub my eyes, the whimpers start to get louder. I get up quickly and follow the noise. As I get closer, I noticed that I was from Ichigo's room. I paused for a couple seconds as the whimpers continued, I opened the door slowly and slid into the room. I looked over at the bed only to see the bright orange haired kid moving around as though he were in pain. My eyes widening with shock, I run quickly over to the bed and try to wake him. When I get over to the bed I sit down next to him. When I looked down at him, he opened his eyes.

"Ichigo are you okay?" I said as a looked at him with this panicked expression.

He looked up at me and smile a gentle but slightly broken smile.

"Yes...I'm fine G-Grimmjow", he said as he looked at me with his soft, and sleepy eyes.

I continued to look at him, while he continued to look back. As I was staring, I thought about how beautiful his chocalate brown eyes were, and how lucky I was to have him staying with me. Without thinking, I pulled up the covers and layed down next to him. I felt his body heat up as a furious blush rushed across his face. I just grinned, then turned to face him.

"Goodnight Ichigo", I said as I let my eyes close.

His body went from tense to relaxed. I felt his breathing finally slow down, and his eyes closed as well.

"Goodnight...Grimmjow", he said with a sleepy voice. Then drifted off to sleep.

Ichigo's Pov

I was kind of surprised when I woke up with the blue haired man lying next to me. Then again, I didnt really mind. I sat up on the bed and proceeded to stand up when a large hand wrapped around my waist. I blushed instantly then turned around. It was Grimmjow. His hair was kind of messy due to him just waking up, and his eyes were narrow. He looked at me and pulled me back down. I looked at him with my face a dark red.

"Where do you think you're going", he said as he looked me dead in my eyes.

"Well...umm I-I was j-just..." I tried to finish my sentence, but I couldn't find it in me to do so. He threw a glance at me, then he just smiled.

"By the way Ichi, we'll have some guest over a little later today. It's just a couple of my friends that I would like you to meet."

I looked at him and just nodded. When I thought about it, I was kinda excited to meet some of his friends. I dont really know why... But I was. The morning flew by pretty quickly. Grimmjow and I sat around and talked. We asked eachother questions like "what kind of stuff are you into?" or "what do you do for fun?" The question were kind of pointless, but I really didnt know what to talk to him about. After that, we both went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for the two of us. Finally afternoon hit and we were preparing for Grimmjows friends to show up. They showed up at around 1:20pm. Standing at the door was a tall man with a very slender figure. He had black long hair and wore mostly black. He wore black skinny jeans with a white button up shirt that was cuffed at the elbows. To top it of he had black dress like shoes on and a white cloth over his right eye. The man was around 6'3 and towered over the other people that stood with him. Next to him on his right, was a shorter guy who was around 5'8. His skin a very pale white with vibrant green eyes to top it off. He had black shoulder length hair and two thin lines went down the front of his face starting from underneath his eyes. He had a forest green knitted sweater on with black skinny jeans on. Dangling off of one side of the jeans was a silver chain. Lastly, a guy with a blonde bob hair cut. His teeth were piano like and he wore a white button up shirt with a tan leather jacket to go over it. He wore black tights along with some black combat boots. Everyone in the group was strange to me, accept for the blonde. That was my friend Shinji Hirako. I had no idea why he was with Grimmjow's friends.

"Hey you guys, come on in, I got someone for ya to meet", Grimmjow said with a grin motioning all of his friends into the house and onward to the livingroom.

"Ichigo." He called as I turned around and answered quickly.

"Y-Yes Grimmjow?"

He then looked at me and smiled.

"Why don't you introduce yourself, don't be so scared they shouldn't bite."

He laughed while he spoke so I thought I'd smile. I looked at the group of people and felt my hands start to shake.

"My name is I-Ichigo Kurosaki..."
