Little Lizard

A new comfy place

 When Shirosaki opened his eyes the next day he immediately wanted to see after his little pet, but to his shock, he wasn't on his chest anymore! Full of panic he looked around himself. Maybe his little friend had fallen down. As he stood up there was suddenly a small thud and he saw Ichigo laying on his back, struggling to turn around again with his damaged leg.

Breathing a sigh of relive, the Espada picked him up again and pulled him close to his chest, only to have Ichigo climbing on his chest and vanishing under under his clothes as he slipped through his collar.

The Arrancar looked confused at his chest and lifted up his top slightly, only to have Ichigo cling to his skin and looking him straight in the eyes. The little tongue darting out for a second only to vanish in the little mouth again.

"What yer up ta little one? Did ya sleep there? I am sorry did I wake ya up, made yer fall down?" He didn't really expect an answer as he knew the little lizard couldn't do more than hiss. He was pretty sure he didn't understand him either, but it didn't matter to him, as long as he had a friend. Smiling softly at the little guy bathing in his body heat, he seemed much better than yesterday. Knowing that his little boy deserved to be treated like a little lizard king today he scratched him again under the fur.

As he did that there was suddenly a rather low hiss from the lizard, now that was a new noise. It seemed very pleased and happy, like a purring cat. Applying more pressure and scratching a little harder Shirosaki had to suppress a manly giggle as the little guy made himself as flat as possible on his chest, seemingly enjoy this a lot.

Grinning with a mischievous glint in his eyes he started to poke him. "Are ya ticklish buddy?" After a few pokes, all he got out of it was a little bite in his finger again. Not that he really minded, it was kinda cute to him and so he continued teasing Ichigo. But little Ichi wasn't stupid, so he decided to to escape the poking finger by slithering down Shirosaki's chest.

"O-oi, oi! This is not were ya supposed ta go Ichi!" But the little lizard king didn't care as he slithered down his owner's chest, along the middle, around the Hollow hole, on the way to the belly button. He was about to travel even more south as Shirosaki grabbed him the last second and hold him up to his face. "No-no Ichi. Ya can't go down there." Chucking darkly he snorted: "That's no place for little lizards like ya to go, that's for big Hollows."

Wiggling with his finger in front of his little friend like an angry mother he wasn't really surprised as his only response was a bite to his pointer finger once again. If the Arrancar had a heart, it would flutter right now. He loved this little thing so much. He couldn't really describe it, there was no valid reason why somebody as powerful as him should like something so weak, but he just did.

Nuzzling the patch of hair with his nose he nearly purred at the contact, it just made him all fuzzy and happy on the inside. He nearly died of happiness when the little guy licked the tip of his nose in return. Maybe he was just trying to get his Reiatsu, but for Shiro is was a declaration of love.

Popping his bones while stretching he carefully moved his lizard to his shoulder where Ichigo happily curled up at Shiro's neck and nuzzled the skin, enjoying the warmth the bigger male produced and the Reiatsu he seemed to ooze out all the time. This was literally heaven for him. Sure the bigger Hollow teased him quite a lot and the biting never really helped either but he was always protected – even from this giant blue haired Hollow he got rescued – and had a full stomach all the time.

The Espada was just about to stroll in the desert to take Ichigo on a walk, but then of course the message of doom echoed through the halls of the palace: Another conference, another 3 hours, another 3 hours of hell. Zero narrowed his eyes, this was probably because of yesterday. After he had punched Grimmjow and hopefully broke more than his hand and mask, he was sure Aizen moved the conference. He low-key hoped he hadn't but of course he had to, because then two people would be missing out on his amazing speeches, yeh...

Of course it was annoying, but the same time he was afraid. He didn't wanted to get Ichigo in danger, he was sure the little guy wouldn't survive another squeeze in an Espada's hand. He wasn't even sure if the little guy would survive the night yesterday, but the fact he was happily curling up at his neck was reason enough to know: He had to protect him this time. This time he wouldn't let anyone harm him!

Five minutes later he sat at the table, narrowing his eyes dangerously at everyone who even dared to look at his neck. The only time he looked sadistically happy was when he spotted Grimmjow. The blue haired male's hand was bandaged and many tape pieces covered his mask. Snorting angrily at Shirosaki and sitting down as far as he could Grimmjow sulked at the end of the table.

When Aizen approached and started his speech by gesturing wildly with his hands, the tea was served. You didn't really believe Aizen would have conferences without tea, did you? Taking a few sips at the tea he wondered if Ichigo was able to drink tea and enjoy it. Without thinking much about it, he dipped his finger in the boiling hot tea – his skin wasn't harmed by it at all – and hold it up to Ichigo who eyed the wet finger curiously.

Boobing Ichigo's nose with the finger the little guy licked at Shiro's finger only to chomp down lightly and getting more of the liquid, seemingly enjoying the tea a lot. The other bored Espada watched as Zero carefully lifted his little pet off his shoulder and put him at the edge of his tea cup. He carefully blew at it so the surface wouldn't be so hot and watched delighted as Ichigo quietly sipped some drops of the tea. He made sure to lightly press down his tail so the little guy wouldn't fall in the cup and burn himself by accident.

After little Ichi lifted his head to signal Shirosaki that he was done drinking the Espada couldn't resit flipping the lizard in his palm and rubbing the small now pretty warm belly. The others eyes nearly bulged out as they saw the lovely-doey behavior of Zero towards his little pet, considering he nearly smashed Grimmjow's head yesterday. It was just a sigh you never expected to see, how he rubbed the belly and scratched the little fur with all the love and care in the world.

Aizen's left eye twitched as he realized not one single person in the room was paying attention to him. And he couldn't have that now, could he? Clearing his throat rather loudly Aizen glared annoyed at his number one. "Shirosaki would you put that thing away and pay attention, this is important. You are distracting the others as well." Responding with a nasty glare the Espada replied: "This ain't a thing, that's Ichigo."

Pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance Aizen sighed loudly. "Would ya kindly put away >Ichigo< then? Get him out of my eyes, he is disturbing my speech."

Looking pissed it took Shirosaki two seconds to come up with a great idea. With a cocky grin he parted his robe, grabbed Ichigo and put him in his Hollow hole, out of Aizen's sight. After he did that Aizen just looked at him dumb folded. Did he just really do that?

"Shirosaki did you just use your Hollow hole as storage room and put a Hollow at your probably most vulnerable point of your body ?"

Shiro: ...
Aizen: ...
Everyone: ...

Aizen just face palmed. He couldn't believe it! Zero has always been insane, downright crazy. But this? This was just ridiculous! And then the bastard had the nerve to smirk at him and seemed very contend with himself.

While Aizen just continued with his speech, little Ichigo seemed very pleased with this outcome as well. It was warm, it was comfortable and the Reiatsu was especially dense at this core point. He might we well just found his favorite spot in the whole world. So he just curled up and decided to nap, because that was the best he could do anyways besides tonguing the air... and biting Shirosaki's finger.
