I am not sure whether, or not, I will continue this with more chapters (*giggles* I have the what will happen in the next chapters ready in my head). But, that all depends on whether anyone asks me to, as I was thinking of adding lemon but we'll see.

Lastly, sorry if I have made any mistakes because it's my first time writing. So, yeah... read on and review please, thank you.

The warm, golden rays of sun shine down, illuminating the reflective puddles scattered around the cracked, cement pavement. A peaceful morning soon to be disrupted by a cacophonous siren wailing in the background of people's intense, enthusiastic screams and cheers.

People of all ages - from babies to teenagers to adults and, believe it or not, there was actually the odd elderly couple too - queuing for the rumoured "best rides in town". Herded along, while their parents held their hands with a strong, vice-like grip, toddlers with blue-stained mouths, eat new flavours of candy floss with one leg dragging behind them.

An assortment of distant, distinctive noises blared. Noises from brand-new rides clattering along the tracks for their test-rides to the vast, array of music coming from each ride, blending into one droning song with one back beat. The bass was vibrating through your body, almost in sync with your own pulsing heart.

Hearing his name called from behind, Ichigo slowly turned round with a slightly puzzled look on his face.

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.

Gasping in shock, Kurosaki Ichigo jerked himself up into a sitting position. His orange hair was as messy as ever. Turning to his alarm clock, which was currently beeping non-stop, instead of pressing the 'snooze' or 'stop alarm' button, he unplugged it... No more extremely rude interruptions from that now. He looked out of his window to see the sun force an intruding entry into the Kurosaki household. His eyes squinting, not yet prepared to the look towards the brightness head-on.

Ichigo let out a groan as he realised he had to get up because of what day it is; the day of the opening of Karakura's new Amusement park. He had been invited to visit the park at the opening, by his friends, as everything – other than the food and drink - was free for the first day.

Reluctant to remove himself from his warm, delightful and comfortable bed, he unsteadily rose. Swaying from side to side, looking like he was about to topple over, he gradually made his way to his cupboard which he stored his clothes. He grabbed his blue, torn denim jeans, a white, long-sleeved t-shirt with an artistic black cross on and his favourite grey hoodie. He got dressed, quickly combed though his hair and then went to his bathroom. Ichigo forcefully snatched his toothbrush and toothpaste, and with one movement, he squeezed the toothpaste tube, spreading a layer of thick toothpaste over the Brussels of the brush. He brushed his teeth, picked up his money then headed out.

Once Ichigo left his home, he was greeted by many people from the neighbourhood

"Hello Ichigo, are you doing okay today?" inquired a shopkeeper, who was just around the corner from Ichigo's home.

"Yeah," he walked away trying to keep his convocation short. He didn't like to socialise much.

~*~*~ AT THE AMUSEMENT PARK ~*~*~

The siren wailed signalling everyone to enter.

At the Amusement Park, his friends, whom had invited him, had already arrived...

But why didn't they tell me they had all brought dates? Now I will just be a third wheel. You know what they say: 'Two's company, Three's a crowd' (also, four's a double date and five is a gang bang ;P )

...Okay, if I sneak past them, without them noticing, I can just go in by myself. Wait! No! (Shakes head uncontrollably like his head's going to fall off \O.O/) I can't just do that! They'll think I've stood them up. I, at least, need to ACT polite and go to tell them I'll go and walk around on my own... I'm sure they'll understand. Even though, they most likely did it on purpose. In fact, I know they did.

Uncertain, whether he wanted to go and talk to them, Ichigo slowly walks over to his friends with a feeling of anxiousness.

"Hey, what's up?" Ichigo questioned with a kind of quaky voice... But he still had his smile composed across his face.

*laugh of mockery from group*

"Well, what d'ya know, he actually came..." One of his so-called friends declared.

Ichigo's inner feeling of anxiousness, which was covered by the outwards smile he always wore as a mask, had changed to shock. But his outwards appearance seemed as though he half expected it.

"I know! What an idiot!" another one of his ex-friends stated.

"Why, thank you," Ichigo said with what looked like a kind grin on his face. "So I take it I was unmistaken about you doing this on purpose and with ulterior motives, which would mean I am not this so-called 'idiot' I am hearing a lot about... Just an idea but maybe, just maybe... you have the wrong person? And just to clarify, I only came here today to inquire if my assumption was correct, which, in this case, it was. Also, before I fail to remember, if you think I am the idiot, I would suggest you try to figure out what I just said without picking up a dictionary because books don't look like they'd be your forte. So maybe I'll see you around, but hopefully I never have to see those foul and unattractive faces of yours ever again. Seriously, your faces gave me nightmares every time I saw them..." Ichigo began to walk away - realising almost all of the visitors at the amusement park were staring: intrigued - when he slowly rotated his upper body to face his ex-friends and, with disgust in his tone, he cursed, "Bastards." And with that, he made his way to a food stand to buy a Jumbo hotdog. Still with a grin plastered on his face, he sat on a bench nearby to continue eating his hotdog.

*Laughs* I always knew it would end up like this. It always does... They leave me; One by one. Everyone eventually leaves. You would think I would be used to it by now but it never gets TOO old. I just learn to hide my emotions from everyone and act happy every moment of every day. It helps me live without pain and regret. I like this way of living; I don't have to worry about anyone anymore, not even myself. It's the same process over and over:

You meet someone. You get close. It's all great for a while. Then someone stops trying or does something wrong. You talk less, leading to awkward conversations. Then you start drifting apart. No communication whatsoever. Memories start to fade. Then that person you know becomes the person you KNEW.

That's how it usually goes, right? Sad isn't it?

Everyone leaves sooner of later and to be honest I think it's better sooner than later so you can never have an attachment to anyone.

Out of the corner of his eye, Ichigo saw an extremely hot guy sit down beside him on the bench. He turned to meet his gaze with an eyebrow raised, questioning who he was and why he decided to sit there, next to him of all people. The guy sat there silently for a while before opening his mouth to speak.

"Errm, My name is Grimmjow, Grimmjow Jaggerjack" He said whilst he looked at him worried in case he didn't answer.

"Yeah, I'm Ichigo Kurosaki... So, what's up?" Ichigo questioned trying to carry on the convocation without being awkward.

"Well, I saw you sitting here and you looked kind of upset and depressed... So-" and before Grimmjow could carry on, he was interrupted by Ichigo.

"What are you talking about? I'm not upset OR depressed. Can you see this smile on my face?"

"Yeah..."

"That shows I'm hap-" This time, Ichigo was the one cut off.

"You shouldn't lie to yourself. I can tell that you aren't on cloud nine; no where near it."

Ichigo's eyes shot open as he tried to understand this situation and what had just happened.

What?! This is the first time anyone has ever been able to distinguish my emotions after I began to hide them. How did he know how I truly felt?! Who is he?!

As Ichigo stared at him in shock, a tear slowly rolled down his cheek and dropped down onto his lap and just when he'd realised that he had started to cry uncontrollably, he felt a warm surface embrace him. He looked up, only to find Grimmjow holding him in his arms. He lifted his hand to Ichigo's eyes to wipe his tears away.

Should I trust him? There is no problem if this leads to a relationship with him, right? After all, I already came out of the closet long ago...

Ichigo looked up, once again, then wrapped his arms around Grimmjow tight and gave a blissful smile.

"So, I know this is totally of topic but, why are you here by yourself?" Ichigo asked out of curiosity.

"Well, I came here with my friends because they thought it would be a good idea to try to cheer me up after my boyfriend dumped me.*Laughs* It was a while ago that he dumped me and they wouldn't believe that I was fine with out him. But, I still can't believe that they left me" Grimmjow admitted.

"What?!" Ichigo questioned in astonishment.

"Yeah, they left me... Can you believe it?"

"No. Not that. Back up a bit! What did you say before that?" Ichigo corrected himself.

"Oh! That my boyfriend dumped me?"

"Eh?! You're gay?" Ichigo enquired in disbelief.

"Yeah, why are you asking? Are you interested?" Grimmjow asked, hinting and almost insisting.

Ichigo felt his heart race ,as well as, heat rising to his face as he began to blush and, as a result to this, he instinctively turned his head to face the opposite direction trying to avoid the question.

What am I doing?! I need to get a hold of myself! I had promised myself I would never TRULY love again. How can I fall in love at a time like this? And especially with a guy I have just met!

Just as that train of thought had passed by, Ichigo felt Grimmjow's hand grab at his chin and turn him back around so they were facing each other; gazing into each others eyes. He leaned in towards Ichigo's ear and brushed his hair behind. His breathe on his ear; tingling and making an immense amount of heat travel down to Ichigo's bottom half.

"I know we have only just met but, I think I love you, Ichigo. Can we, please, try and start a relationship?" He whispered gently into Ichigo's ear, causing him to tense up and drop his arms at his sides just at the sound of it. "I'm sorry, if I crossed the line and you don't want to... I'll understand." He continued.

Without warning, Ichigo unconsciously wrapped his arms around Grimmjow. Tears streaming down his face and he whispered back:

"P-please... Please, just don't leave me." Ichigo stuttered as Grimmjow leaned down and gently kissed him on his forehead.
