*Ichigo's POV*

By the entrance, there was Toshiro and Chad. The height difference between the two was comical. Chad was wearing his usual shirt and jeans, his shoulders bulged and skin was dark. Messy brown hair covered his head, hiding his eyes. He bore no expression as always. Toshiro was in a baggy jacket, his big blue eyes looking around and silver hair moving in the slight breeze. I ran up to them and smiled wide, happy to see them after so long.
"Chad! Toshiro! How's it going?!" I extended my arms, asking.
"Well." Chad said blatantly, I expected nothing else from the big guy.
"I would say I'm pretty good." Toshiro said, grinning and crossing his arms.
"Hey, where's Uruyu?" I asked, looking around.
"He went with Ukitake, they're getting tickets." Toshiro pointed his thumb towards the queue.
"Ah..wait, who's Ukitake?" I asked, thinking.
"I hope you don't mind, I brought him, he's a...good friend." Toshiro shifted on his feet and looked at an older man with long silver hair.
"Yeah, that's fine, cause I brought someone too." I pointed to Grimmjow, whom was messing with his phone, slipping an earbud around his ear.
"Sup?" He waved and asked.
"Oh yeah, I know you! I'm the assistant to your editor." Toshiro said, glaring at Grimmjow.
"Hi." Chad said in his deep voice, hair over his eyes.
"I don't see you very often, but when I do.....let's just say it's memorable..." Toshiro mumbled as kicked a pebble.
"Heh, yeah, sorry bout that!" Grimmjow beamed and pat Toshiro on the head.
A large hand batted Grimmjow's away and fell softly on Toshiro's shoulders. The tall man that I presumed to be Ukitake stood over Toshiro protectively.
"I am Jushiro Ukitake, pleased to meet you." He nodded his head and introduced himself.
The man was tall and wore a long jacket, almost like one f a physician. His cheekbones were visible from his face and he soft eyes. He smiled down at Toshiro and patted the small head. Behind him, Uruyu held a handful of passes and pushed up his glasses. Uruyu looks the same as always, black hair with side bangs, slender figure, and glasses always shining in the light. He wore a white jacket and long black pants.
"Hey guys." He said, his glasses glinting.
"Hey Uruyu." I said, waving.
"Who's this?" Ukitake asked.
"Ah, this is my good friend-"
"I'm Grimmjow. I've known Ichigo forever." He cut me off.
"Pleased to meet you too. Toshiro had told me all about everyone but you, Grimmjow." Ukitake said.
"Hey Grimmjow, long time no see, eh? Still got that hair.." Uruyu remembered Grimmjow.
"Yeah." Grimmjow shrugged in his reply.
"Are you all ready?" Ukitake asked us.
"Hell yeah!" I exclaimed, pulling my arm back.
"Heh...you are WAY too into this stuff..." Grimmjow chuckled and leaned against my shoulder.
I slid away, not wanting to draw attention to ourselves. Finding an alternative, Grimmjow put his arm around my shoulder and brought me close. I tried to wriggle out of his grasp, but he was quite strong.
"How the hell does an author like you get so fit?" I growled under my breath.
"I could ask the same for you.I love to run, or just work out." He gripped me harder and whispered it into my ear.
I sighed and decided to make the best of it. His embrace was actually quite calming and soft when I accepted it. Toshiro looked over his shoulder at us. He grinned and winked. He then pointed at himself and then to Ukitake, switching back and forth rapidly. I choked on air and coughed, surprised by what I thought he was messaging.
Grimmjow looked at me, not having noticed Toshiro's gesture. He pat my back, looking at me worriedly.
"You alright?" He asked.
I felt myself blush and only nodded in response, holding back more coughs. I cleared my throat and continued walking. Ahead, I saw Toshiro hanging by Ukitake, leaning against the older man. Chad and Uruyu were ignoring the evident relationship and looking around.
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. We enjoyed ourself at the park, going on many attractions and seeing some of the shows. It was really fun. During the day, Grimmjow pulled a lot of tricks. It was really quite sweet, but I felt a bit uncomfortable in the public. I put up with most, actually enjoying the romantic expressions. Many were subtle and only I could notice, at least I think. He would do things like place his hands around my shoulders, lean into me, and place his chin on my head. On one of the dark rides, he even pecked me on the cheek. He couldn't see it in the dim lighting, but I had blushed a dark scarlet.
As the day continued, the sun rose over its peak and descended. The pink sky, clouded slightly, gave the park a warm atmosphere. I looked up at the beautiful sky and sighed happily. It was fun to be with all my friends. I had also gotten to know Ukitake better, he was really nice. Apparently he worked at a local art school. He knew me from my paintings and claimed he was lucky to meet me. Apparently he and Toshiro did have a good relationship. I hope that Grimmjow and I can have a relationship like that.
When we were eating dinner, Toshiro pulled me aside.
"What's up?" I asked, looking at Toshiro.
"So," he placed one hand on his hip, "what's the deal with you two? He's totally into you." Toshiro whispered, talking about Grimmjow and me.
"Er...well....I'm not sure....I mean I like him, but...." I replied, stumbling and turning red.
"But what?! If ya like, go all for it!" Toshiro barked at me.
I looked down at my feet, shifting uncomfortably. Toshiro sighed and grasped my shoulders.
"Look, if you really like him...please...tell him...you don't want to lose him again....I told Jushiro I liked him the instant I knew I really loved him and look...." Toshiro looked at me with his ice blue eyes, a little sadly.
"Ichigo....you know what you feel...I'm only trying to help. You will know if you guys click, and you obviously do. Take it further....make the next move. I'll show you an example later, and you can take what you want from it." He winked at me and pat. my shoulders, grinning kindly.
"Thanks Toshiro." I said quietly.
We returned to the dinner. I sat next to Grimmjow, whom asked me what Toshiro wanted.
"Oh, nothing." I replied.
Grimmjow frowned slightly, but then shrugged and returned to his sushi. Afterwards, we wandered around a bit. Toshiro and Ukitake looked in some of the shops, while Chad and Uruyu reported that they had to leave because they had appointments to make. I found it a bit odd, but paid it no attention.
The show finally started, and memories flooded into my mind. The last time I saw the show was with Grimmjow, back when we were high school friends. I had wanted to kiss him, but I couldn't muster up the courage to. Ukitake and Toshiro sat to my left, Grimmjow at my right.
At some point during the show, the lights dim as sound effects loud, I saw a shifting shape beside me. I glanced and saw Toshiro and Ukitake. Since we were at the back of the stadium, no one saw them but me. Grimmjow was too fixated on the huge animatronic to notice me looking at the two.
Toshiro was sitting on Ukitake's lap, his small arms wrapped around Jushiro's neck. His hands were entwined in the long silver hair, grasping it. Toshiro and Ukitake were making out pretty aggressively. I gawked, surprised. Toshiro glanced over at me, releasing his lips from Ukitake's.
"Go..show him." Toshiro panted out.
They then continued. I glanced at them, then at Grimmjow. I grabbed Grimmjow's arm and pulled him up.
"What?!" He blurted out.
I simply continued pulling, Grimmjow stumbling behind me. I dragged him out of the stadium and to the exit.
"We're leaving?" He asked looking at me for an answer.
Instead of speaking, I simply grabbed Grimmjow's jaw and brought it to my face. He looked at me for a second, but then I kissed him. His eyes shot open, surprised. Getting the message, he growled and began to pull me.
