Ichigo's POV
It was pretty late now. Around 11:30 pm to be specific. The man that I met in the kitchen was nice enough to give me a room to stay in. Along with personal blankets, towels and all those other basic living things people have. I lied in my bed looking up at the ceiling.
I couldn't sleep.
My mind wouldn't stay quiet enough to let me do so. The words from the bluenette kept ringing in my head, over and over again.
"If you don't want to receive punishment..you'd better watch that mouth of yours."
Thinking about the statement only made me shake. It reminded me of the recent situation I had just gotten out of.
For now of course..
He was rude, brutal, and inconsiderate. He didn't care about the way I felt, and he sure as hell didn't care about what kind of scars he left. Physical...or mental.
I could feel my heart begin to pound hard up against my chest, and my hands begin to tremble.
"I hate this." I thought to myself as I ran my hand through my hair in an attempt to calm down. It worked a little bit. Enough to allow me to think of a distraction.
I was now tired of sitting around in bed. Despite it being late, I made my way downstairs to the kitchen again, making sure to skip every creaky step on the staircase. When I got to the bottom, I quietly and slowly walked to the kitchen. Getting a small snack at night along with a short walk around the house always calmed me down at times like this. But the thing was.
This wasn't my kitchen. So I can't go digging around in what isn't mine. And this wasn't my house either, so I couldn't go wondering around. I'd look suspicious.
Cursing under my breath, I made my way to the living and sat comfortably on the couch. Well, it was comfortable until I realized I sat on a person. Jumping up quickly, I looked down to see a shirtless bluenette sleeping soundly on the couch. He had a small sheet covering up his bottom half. But even so you could still tell he was wearing next to nothing underneath of it. His hands were rested under the pillow that he lied his head on, and his lips were parted slightly when he slept.
"He doesn't look like such a jack ass while asleep." I thought to myself. Obviously still a bit angry from this afternoons incident.
I didn't want to wake him up. I couldn't imagine how angry that would make him. So slowly and quietly, I backed away from the couch that the other male slept on. I got to the staircase, and when I did, I stepped onto the first stair. The stair made a loud, long creaking noise as the pressure of my entire body weighed down on the stair.
"Damnit!" I cursed softly as the sound slowly left the once quiet room. When the noise was completely gone, the bluenette let out a small groan.
"Nnoi..is that you?" Grimmjow asked softly as he raised his arms into the air to stretch.
I sat there in silence. Not moving, and hardly breathing. "What the hell do I say?" was my thought. But I'm not Nnoi, so therefore I say nothing. "Maybe I could quietly walk back upstairs." was my second one. But that would require me to move, and the step would make it impossible to move quietly. I ran out of ideas, so I decided to sit quietly and wait for the bluentte to fall asleep again.
He didn't end up falling asleep. Instead, the larger male stood up slowly from the couch. He looked around as he rubbed his eyes sleepily. I assumed he was looking for his friend..or brother. I thought they were brothers at least.
"Damnit Nnoi..if that's you, you'd better stop playing games with me before I kick your ass." He said in a low, angry tone.
I couldn't sit on these stairs any longer. So I made a run for it. The faster I got off the step, the less time it had to make a noise. Right?
Wrong.
The stair that I was now moved off of sent a loud creak throughout the bottom level of the house. Grimmjow turned quickly in my direction. He was pissed, and his hand was held up his side clenched into a tight fist. I was in the middle of the staircase now, out of his sight. But that didn't matter.
"Whoever the hell that is, bring your ass back down those stairs or I swear I'll follow you up there and mercilessly kick your ass!"
His voice boomed loudly throughout the house. "Not loud enough since no one else seems to be waking up.." I thought to myself as I slowly began walking back down the stairs. I felt my legs trembling underneath of me as I decend down each stair.
Finally, I was to the bottom.
The now pissed off male looked over in my direction. I had to admit, I didn't like the look I was given. His eyebrows furrowed, and his teeth were snarled as though he was some type of animal. But when our eyes met, surprisingly he calm down.
"Damn, you look like you seen a ghost or something kid." Grimmjow said as he sat back down on the couch again.
"Well." I spoke quietly. "You're pretty scary when you're mad.."
The bluenette let a small laughs escape past his lips as he ran his finger through his blue mess of hair.
"I don't like to be woken up, to put it simply."
I hestitanly sat down on the floor in front of the couch that the other male was sat on.
"Then..why don't you sleep in your room?"
"It's much comfortable down here in my opinion. And the kitchens right there of I feel like getting a snack in the middle of the night."
I couldn't help but smile when hearing that. To me it was kind of funny. I don't think I could explain why even if I wanted to. I just don't know.
Grimmjow looked over at me. Next thing you know, he had my arm in a tight grip. I felt my eyes grow wide and the pace of my heart slowly speeding up.
"Damn kid relax. You act like I'm gonna hit you or something. Just lifting you up onto the couch." He said as he hoisted me from the floor, and sat me gently onto the couch.
I twiddled with my fingers as I felt his eyes burning into my skin. He was staring at me. I don't know why he was, but I do know it made me extremely uncomfortable.
"Why the hell are you always freaking out? I make a playful comment and your skin gets all pale, I grab your arm and you look like you wanna puke. Any reason?"
I looked up at the bluenette. Only to find he was being to scowl again.
"It's not something I want to talk about.." I replied in a soft spoken tone.
"Eh, I figured that's what you'd say." Grimmjow said as he lied back down on the couch again. Using my legs as a rest for his.
His eyes were now closed again, and he was quickly sound asleep. I mean that's nice in all, but now I'm stuck on the couch for the night.
