Chapter 13 - Missed

He kissed him again, loving the way Ichigo's hands felt on his aching body. He had missed that touch so much...

"No..." Ichigo muttered against Grimmjow's lips. "I'm...dreaming..."

Grimmjow pulled away, kissing Ichigo's neck as Ichigo buried his hands in his hair.

"I promise you, babe." Grimmjow licked at his pulse. "You aren't dreaming. Even you're imagination couldn't work up this much pleasure."

"Oh..." Ichigo's eyes rolled into the back of his head. "Grimmjow."

Grimmjow lifted his head and smiled at Ichigo. "Yeah?"

"I missed you!" Ichigo cried as he wrapped his arms around his lover and hugged him tightly.

"Oh...ow." Grimmjow laughed as Ichigo squeezed him tightly. "I missed you, too."

Ichigo scowered kisses all over Grimmjow's jaw and face. "I. Missed. You. So. Much."

Ichigo pulled away and slapped Grimmjow across the face.

"Ow! Damn it!" Grimmjow recoiled from him. "Talk about a change of heart."

"That was for leaving me alone for three days!" Ichigo yelled. "I told you to fucking follow me, Grimmjow! What the hell took you so long?"

Grimmjow stuck his tounge out at Ichigo. "Ulquiorra got in my way. I had to take care of him first, baka."

Ichigo raised an eyebrow. "Oh. Well, whatever. I'm just glad you're alive."

Ichigo pulled Grimmjow down into a kiss. Grimmjow pulled away and grabbed Ichigo's arm.

"You are in so much trouble." Grimmjow glared down at him. "What the hell is this?"

Grimmjow held up Ichigo's arm and Ichigo smiled innocently.

"It was an...accident?" Ichigo tried.

"Bull shit!" Grimmjow dug his fingers into Ichigo's arm.

"AHHH!!!!" Ichigo screamed.

"Shh." Grimmjow chuckled. "You'll wake up the whole neighborhood."

"Itai, itai, itttaaaaiiii..." Ichigo bit his lip. "That hurt."

"Hell yeah." Grimmjow said. "Hurts me just lookin' at it."

"Aw, Grimmy-"

"Don't you dare start calling me Grimmy." Grimmjow glared.

"Huh? Why not?" Ichigo pouted.

"Because. I don't want you to." Grimmjow snubbed.

Ichigo smirked. "Grimmy, Grimmy, Grimmy! I'm gonna call you Grimmy forever!"

"What the hell happened to you?" Grimmjow asked. "You are way too happy to be Ichigo."

"I'm happy to see you." Ichigo half-smiled, reaching up to touch Grimmjow's face. "I missed you."

Grimmjow sighed. He reached down and kissed Ichigo's neck again, this time making him moan.

"Mmm, and I missed that." Ichigo muttered. "We have to keep quiet tonight. My dad and sisters are here."

"Oh, no." Grimmjow shook his head as he rolled off of Ichigo. "You need to sleep."

"Screw sleep! I want you!" Ichigo reached over and grabbed Grimmjows arm.

"No, Ichigo." Grimmjow chuckled. "You look like a corpse. You need to sleep."

"I'm fine." Ichigo whined. "Please?"

Grimmjow shook his head. "No, I refuse."

"Well...will you at least kiss me for a little while?" Ichigo touched Grimmjow's chest, being careful of the bruises. "I miss your kisses..."

Grimmjow looked at Ichigo before reaching up and taking his hand. "If I kiss you, will you sleep?"

"No." Ichigo smirked. "Not until I get my way."

"Well, then no." Grimmjow looked up at the ceiling.

"Ugh. Fine." Ichigo groaned. "If you kiss me, I'll pretend to sleep. That's as good as it's getting."
Grimmjow rolled his eyes. "Alright."

He turned his head and grabbed the back of Ichigo's neck. He pulled him towards him, kissing him deeply. Ichigo rolled on top of him, pressing his hips against Grimmjow's, making him moan.

But he was smarter than that.

He pressed his finger to a certain spot on Ichigo's neck, feeling his lovers body go limp on top of him. He smiled to himself as he laid Ichigo's sleeping body down beside him.

"There, now you don't even have to pretend." Grimmjow kissed Ichigo's nose before laying back himself.

Four Months Later...

Ichigo wrapped his arms around Grimmjow's neck, putting his chin on Grimmjow's shoulder. Grimmjow leaned his head against Ichigo's as they stared off into the sunset.

It was quiet. More quiet than it had been in a long time. Because it was finally over. Aizen had lost, Hueco Mundo was empty, and there was no fighting.

"Ichigo..." Grimmjow muttered.

"Yeah?" Ichigo muttered.

"What am I going to do now?" He asked.

"You're going to stay with me." Ichigo told him. "Cause if you don't, I'll...do something very bad to you when I find you."

Grimmjow chuckled. "I have no doubt about that."

"Yep." Ichigo kissed his lovers cheek. "So you're going to stay with me. Forever. No matter what?"

"Yeah..." Grimmjow leaned his head against Ichigo's. "Forever."

Ichigo twisted around to be in Grimmjows lap. He leaned his head against the Arrancar's chest as the both looked up at the sky.

Ichigo sighed, realizing that he was wrong all long. Grimmjow's heart wasn't grey before this. No, it was most definatly black. And Ichigo's had been just white, plain and boring white. And when the two hearts came together...it was grey. Together, they were grey.

People think grey is boring, like old black and white movies, but that wasn't the case here. Grey was the way everything was meant to be in the end. Because good never truely reigned over evil, nor the other way around. Everything was always balanced, in the grey.

Ichigo looked up at Grimmjow's eyes, seeing the sky in them. He smiled as the teal shined in the limited sunlight. He reached up and touched his face, watched as Grimmjow looked down at him.

He touched his lips to his, and they kissed as they were surrounded by the warming sunlight of the dusk. And everything was...just fine.
