AN/: How do you guys want this to end? Do you want a happy ending or a sad one? Next chapter will come after I´ve gotten my answers. Thank you.

Ichigo´s mind was racing as he ran the snowy streets of Karakura.

He wants me back… Does that mean that he still cares about me… or is he angry? Am I doing a mistake. It cant´s be, he sounded broken. It´s not like him at all. He wants me there, with him. Maybe we still got some hope, maybe we´ll be able to sort this all out or maybe this will be the end. Damn it! I need to go there. I have to run faster!

Ichigo´s mind was racing a mile a minute. Deep down the red head was doubting whether doing this was such a good idea after all but Grimmjow´s reaction to his absence had taken him by surprise, after all It was so out of character for the bluenet to display any weakness, especially to him and Ichigo wanted to sort out their problems and this might be the last chance to do so…

Grimmjow ran his fingers through his sweat damp hair and sighed. He´d just sent the most embarrassing text message in his life and why? To have Ichigo back his mind kindly reminded him.

Would the red head come? Grimmjow didn´t know if Ichigo had even read the message since there hadn´t been a reply. The bluenet lifted his face and eyed the damage he had made to the apartment, pretty much everything was either knocked down or broken to pieces. Great, he knew where his next paycheck would be going. Without anything there to motivate him to move he just sat still, waiting and thinking…

Why had Ichigo left in the first place? The bluenet started to ponder. Well, you haven´t exactly been nice to him lately, you asshole! Grimmjow shook his head to get rid of that strain of thought. His consciousness had been butting into his life too much to the bluenet´s liking lately.

Grimmjow had always gotten what he wanted and he had gotten it when he wanted and how he had wanted. Why would the red head be an exception?

It hadn´t occurred to the bluenet before but he was still stark naked. Lazily he got up from the floor and headed back upstairs to at least put on his jeans. What would he do after that? He had no idea. What he wanted to do was to go and find the red head and drag him back by force if necessary and never let him set foot out of the house again but that would be too desperate and his already scarred ego didn´t approve of the idea, so that option was out of limits.

He would be better off by himself, probably, maybe. Ichigo would come back, hopefully.

Ichigo made a sharp turn and rounded the corner to a small side alley but for his bad luck a car had been driving the alley and it came straight towards him. Ichigo´s eyes widened and all he was able to register were the bright headlights of the car before there was a loud crash and sharp pain as the car hit Ichigo. He flew several meters, hitting his head while landing and passing out from the impact of hitting the ground.

Grimmjow had fallen asleep on the couch and he was woken by his phone ringing. The bluenet cursed loudly as he saw who the caller was.

"The fuck do you want!" Grimmjow growled to the phone, his voice thick with venom. The line stayed silent for a while before the person on the other end spoke.

"Yer berry has been in da car crash."

The color left the bluenet´s face and his mouth became suddenly so very dry.

"Where is he?" Grimmjow´s voice was even and he might have sounded calm and collected however every muscle in his body had tensed and he was ready to move as soon as he was told where the berry was, his berry.

"He´s being treated at the Ishida hospital…" Before the caller was even finished with his sentence Grimmjow was moving towards the door. Without putting on a shirt he snatched his jacket and shoved his feet to his boots and made a quick run to the car.

The hospital was few blocks away from their apartment so Grimmjow got there fairly quickly. He immediately went to the reception lady and asked where Kurosaki Ichigo had been taken. Unfortunately the lady made a wrong choice and decided to be difficult by asking whether Grimmjow was family or not. Only family members were allowed and if not for the thick bullet proof glass separating them the bluenet would probably had lifted the lady up and threatened to break her pretty white neck if he would not be told right this instant where his lover was. But the glass was there and that was a fact, so he had to manage with the second best alternative.

"He´s my boyfriend, is that family enough for you?" Grimmjow snarled, biting back a litany of insults he had just made up in the go. If he lost it here he would be just thrown out. Even he knew that. The reception lady blushed and started to flip through her papers.

"Kurosaki Ichigo, car crash. He had his operation and they are currently keeping him in surveillance. Section B. Ask there again and they´ll take you to his room." The bluenet didn´t bother thanking the receptionist. As soon as he had gotten the information he had started to run towards the B-section. The only thing going through his mind was "Please be okay!"

Grimmjow arrived to the B-section of the hospital. He didn´t need to ask directions to find Ichigo. He could tell where his boyfriend was being kept from the sheer amount of people gathered near a certain door. Ichigo sure was loved…

It didn´t take long from the colorful bunch of people to notice his presence. A girl with short black hair took few steps towards the bluenet.

"What are youdoing here?" Her eyes were narrowed and she spit the words out like venom. Grimmjow´s temper flared.

"What am I doing here?" Grimmjow answered, his voice equally rich with poison. "You can hate me with all your spirit bitch but he´ll still be my boyfriend and there´s nothing you can do to change that so fuck off."

"Tatsuki-chan, please stop. We are in a hospital. You shouldn´t fight here. What would Kurosaki-kun say if he knew you two are fighting again?" An orange haired girl had stepped beside the girl called Tatsuki and was trying to calm her down. Grimmjow knew the girl. Her name was Orihime Inoue. She was Ichigo´s friend and she had been to their apartment many times. She was the only girl out of Ichigo´s friends that he was able to put up with.

"Let go Inoue!" Tatsuki pulled her hand free from the other girls grab and pointed her finger towards the bluenet as her voice rose to almost a shriek. "This is your fault! If you wouldn´t be here this would have never happened! You don´t deserve Ichigo!" Without any warning Tatsuki launched herself towards Grimmjow, ready to punch him.

However, before she reached him, she was yanked backwards.

"That´s enough Tatsuki." The one holding the raven-haired girls wrist in his iron grip was none other than Ichigo´s best friend, Chad. After seeing the look in the gentle giant's eyes Tatsuki seized moving. She looked away from Chad, biting her bottom lip, pain obvious on her face. Chad released his hold. Tatsuki turned her back to them, biting back sobs.

"Go see him." Chad said his only visible eye locked to the bluenet.

"I thought I didn´t deserve him." Grimmjow replied, his voice seeping sarcasm. The girl's words had really gotten into him, not that he would ever admit it.

"He loves you. Shiro told us that he was on his way from his place back to home while the car hit him." Chad was looking him into the eyes the whole time he spoke. The raven haired girl behind Chad´s back was slightly shaking was it from holding back tears or from anger that the bluenet couldn´t tell.

He nodded to Chad and opened the door to step inside.

Grimmjow closed the door behind him. The sickening sterile stench got more powerful once he was inside the room. Everything was white, save the few bouquets of flowers on the nightstand. The bluenet moved his eyes to the still form lying on the bed. In his opinion it looked like the red head was sleeping. The illusion would have been perfect if the machines hooked up to him weren´t there. The loudest sound was the humming made by the machine that kept Ichigo breathing.

The older man walked slowly closer, taking in every little detail. His mind was a mess. He´d never allowed anyone near him like he had allowed Ichigo and although he had started to distance himself from the orange haired youth he couldn´t deny his feeling of loss now. There was also fear, fear of losing the berry. That he would never again open his eyes and look at him with his chocolate brown orbs.

For the first time in his life, Grimmjow was truly scared.

He ran his fingers through Ichigo´s hair as he inspected the damage done to his lover.

"My fault, I guess so. If I´d treated you better we´d probably still be in bed, together." Grimmjow bent to place a kiss to the red head´s forehead. The bluenet sat down on the chair beside the bed and took a hold of Ichigo´s hand.

"Yo, Ichi. Remember the school ball we went together? Things were good to us then." Grimmjow´s voice sounded tired and defeated as he spoke.

"I´m not so sure about this Grimm, people will stare." Ichigo was fidgeting as Grimmjow led him to the gymnasium where the ball was to take a place. Grimmjow stopped and placed both of his hands to the red head´s shoulders.

"It´ll be fine. Besides weren´t you the one who said that you´d want to go now that your school finally agreed to let students to bring dates outside of the school?" Grimmjow said as he fixed Ichigo´s bowtie.

"I know, I´m just…nervous okay." Ichigo´s voice got a little fight back into it. He didn´t want to seem weak.

"That´s the spirit." Grimmjow grinned and pulled Ichigo closer taking a hold of his suit jacket and when their bodies were pressed together he slid his arms to hold Ichigo´s waist. The older man crashed their lips together into a passionate kiss. Ichigo was taken by surprise by this action so before he knew it the bluenet had his tongue in his mouth, coaxing him to play and play they did until air started to become a serious issue and Grimmjow broke the kiss. The bluenet licked his lips as a smug grin formed.

They held hands and stepped to the hall. It was decorated and many couples were dancing on the floor.

"May I?" Grimmjow asked and bowed to his lover, knowing full well that they were being stared and that this was thoroughly turning his berry to a nice shade of pink. Ichigo pulled his lover up and whispered to him to stop, that it was embarrassing. In a swift movement Grimmjow had moved them to the dance floor and taken the proper stance. He then raised an eyebrow and his grin grew to whole other proportions.

And what happened then? They danced you silly. First it was awkward. Ichigo kept thinking about all the people around him but soon he was concentrating on keeping up with Grimmjow´s pace. Quite a many people were probably still staring at them but even if they were Ichigo or Grimmjow for the matter weren´t aware of it. They were solely concentrating on each other.

Grimmjow finished telling the memory. He looked for signs to tell him that Ichigo heard him, some reaction but he didn´t get any. Ichigo was in a coma and there seemed to be nothing he could do to help.

He hated feeling this helpless and scared.

"Ichi, wake up, please."
