So this is the last chapter people! I decided that happy endings are possible (though I don't believe in them, sorry) so this is going to be a happy ending for everyone! Ok, ok, ok! Its Valentine's Day and do not be surprised with the couplings here and there! Alright, enjoy! I had fun writing this for you guys! Oh! And the last chapter is form Toshiro's point of view^^
As the sun rises just over the horizon, its rays spread in all directions and one happens to sneak through my open window and bathe my face in it. I scrunch my eyebrows at the light disturbing my sleep and cover my face with my blanket. I'm about to roll over when something hard smacks me on my forehead. Whatever it was, it causes me to open my eyes and stumble out of bed, falling hard. Muttering curses under my breath, I rub my sore side and crawl back across my bed to squint out my window for the rude interrupter of my slumber. I'm greeted with another pebble (which I guess was what was flung at me before) but this time I duck and after avoiding a concussion, I look back out to glare at my attacker. Momo is grinning up at me, hands on her hips and Izuru besides her grinning just as widely.
'What the fuck was that for?' I yell at her in anger, gripping my windowsill tightly to stop myself from falling out.
'Don't you know what day it is today, Toshiro?' Momo yells back. I maintain my annoyed expression as I rack my brain to figure out what Momo is getting at. I sneak a glance at my calendar and gasp.
'Shit! It's Valentine's Day! I promised Gin I'd meet him before my first class!' I panic and disappear from the window to dress myself for school. I can hear Izuru chuckle. In two minutes, I'm sprinting down the street to school with Momo and Izuru tailing behind me. I reach the school gates and wait for my two slowpokes for friends. Wheezing and gasping, Momo clutches the door handle and stops to catch her breath.
'Jeez, Toshiro! Now I know why you're in the school's track team,' she pants.
'He wouldn't have considered if Gin hadn't told him to,' Izuru teases and nudges me. I kick him and look left and right to make sure nobody had heard him.
True, Gin and I are together but we're going to take our time in telling everyone. Grimmjow and Ichigo were still taking their time in telling everyone but at least Ichigo's group knows that he's dating Grimmjow. They don't like him but they grudgingly accepted their leader's lover. But then again, it's not like Ichigo is going out with his teacher.
I look at my watch impatiently.
'He's late,' I say disappointedly. Students are starting to mill into school but they barely show any interest in the trio waiting outside the school doors. Except for…
'Momo!' Rukia squeals and launches herself at her lover. Momo cries out in surprise but then laughs and kisses Rukia swiftly on the lips. I smile weakly at her as Rukia produces a red rose for Momo who giggles and accepts it.
I guess it came as a surprise when Rukia asked Momo out in the beginning of January not only for Momo but for the rest of us too. We always thought Rukia hated Momo but it turned out it was just her way of trying to get Momo's attention. When Rukia had asked Momo out, Izuru and I thought she would reject her without hesitation. Rukia had asked Momo out right in front of us, for God's sake! Instead of laughing and saying no or maybe even insulting her, Momo had given a shy smile and accepted! She fucking accepted to go out with her rival of two years! Only later did she explain that she always liked Rukia which is why she always fought with her. Orihime had told her that Rukia liked her too so she was going to ask Momo out soon. She had just been waiting for her to do it! Well, how did you expect us to react? I just stared at her with my mouth open while Izuru had hugged and congratulated her on finding someone. Can't say I like Rukia but since it's for Momo, I made an effort to be nice to her. I'm still getting used to it and Rukia isn't as bad as I thought she was. But I still don't like her. Hard to forgive a person who shoved her ice cream on your head because she thought it would give you height. I'm just glad I got back at her with the rubber snake. Don't ask. That's another story.
'Momo!' Rukia coos and slips her arm through Momo's. 'Let's go and sit together before class starts, pleaaasssee? It's Valentine's Day and I want to spend as much time with you as possible! We can plan our day and how's we're going to celebrate it!'
'Weeellll…' Momo looks at me skeptically as if she thought I needed her to stay but her eyes are pleading me that she really wants to go with Rukia. I roll my eyes.
'Go ahead, Momo,' I grin and toss my head in the direction of the doors. They both squeal so piercingly I'm surprised the dogs haven't come bounding towards the school yet. As they scurry away, I sigh and lean again the door. Izuru does the same as he hitches his bag higher up his shoulder.
'Do you remember when school started, Izuru?' I murmur as I look at the sky. The sun is dancing merrily behind clouds shaped like fluffy animals and oddly twisted flowers. 'Can you imagine we'd be where we are now?'
'Don't know for sure, Tosh,' he whistles. 'But then again, everything happens for a reason and you know what, I wouldn't have wished it any other way.' He grins at me. 'We would never have found the people we love.' He glances sideways and I follow his gaze to grin broadly.
Grimmjow and Ichigo are having a full make-out scene in a hidden corner of the school and are literally crawling on top of each other. I swear, if I wasn't with Gin, I would have thought that those two were the most physical couple I have ever seen. Every chance they get, they go snogging in a corner and one time, I heard from Uryu that they had had sex in a bathroom stall. I'm no hypocrite. After all, Gin and I have done it in his office countless times. Who knew the couch is such a comfortable place to have sex! I have to stop thinking about it afterwards otherwise I want to go for another round. Trust me, Gin is amazing. I never knew my body could ever do things like that!
'Cue Ichigo's gang,' Izuru mutters and sure enough, his posse comes around the corner looking for their leader. 'And the two lovers break their session…' Ichigo and Grimmjow break apart and start rearranging their clothes back to normal. Ichigo smoothes his hair back. '…the prince joins his group and Grimmjow goes off in another direction.' I shake my head.
'You sure know people, Izuru,' I grin at him. He grins back but then looks in the direction of Ichigo's gang. At the same time, Uryu looks in their direction and raises a hand, a smile playing on his lips. I glance suspiciously at Izuru, who has a goofy grin on his own face and he waves his hand at Uryu. Uryu looks at them a bit before turning around to scramble after his group which is moving out of sight. Izuru sighs and his face is glowing. He turns to look at me and the light suddenly dims as he notes the sly grin I have.
'What?' he complains and starts blushing furiously.
'Nothing, nothing,' I smirk and glance at Uryu's retreating figure. 'I didn't know you had a thing for a certain someone.'
'If you must know,' Izuru says loudly. 'We just enjoy each other's company and there is nothing going on between us!'
'So how'd it happen?'
'We bumped into each other in the library and found out that we're both die-hard fans of Oscar Wilde and Elizabeth Browning!" Izuru gushes. 'Also, he likes chocolate, especially truffles, and he adores 'Will and Grace' but Karen is a bit too cynical though Jack is gorgeous and Will is-What? Why are you looking at me like that?'
I'm laughing hard now and clutch the door to stop myself from falling.
'Izuru! I'm not making fun of you!' I say heartily and clamp him on the back. 'I'm actually happy for you! I always knew you would find somebody.'
Izuru smiles at me strangely and then, without warning, he pulls me into a tight embrace. I cry out in surprise at first but then I relax and hug him back. Izuru is my best friend. He's always been there for me and I couldn't be happier for him right now. He's the only one I know who will back me up in anything even if he thinks I'm wrong though Momo has said that is a bad thing. Still, it never stops him from taking my side. He actually makes me think logically when I just want to walk in and beat the shit out of people who piss me off. I'd do anything for him and all he'd have to do is ask.
'Tosh?' he murmurs into my ear.
'Hm?' I acknowledge.
'Thanks,' he says and pulls away to smile at me again. I cock my head to the side.
'I should be thanking you, Izuru,' I say, perplexed at the thanks. 'If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have gone for you-know-who.' He shakes his head.
'No, Tosh,' he says simply. 'You know it's because of you I made an effort to move on. I still love you. But like my brother now. If it weren't for you, I would still be pining for you. Toshiro, you sometimes think you aren't so special. You think that you wouldn't be able to survive without us but you're wrong. Without you, I don't think I'd be able to survive. You're beyond special. And you should know how much Gin loves you, Tosh. Words can't even describe it!'
'I know, Izuru,' I say quietly and my eyes slide sideways to catch a glimpse of something that causes my heart to flutter. 'He doesn't have to say it. I see it in his face every time I look at him. And he sees it in mine.'
I glance back at Izuru and start fiddling with my fingers. Confused, Izuru looks where I had just been staring and then looks back at me with a smug look. Gin is standing in front of the school with a bouquet of flowers and smartly dressed in his usual attire of a suit except no tie. He's carelessly unbuttoned the top to give a down to earth look and to be honest, it gives him a sex appeal that is irresistible. However, at that very moment, Hisagi cuts in between Izuru and me.
'Hey, Toshiro! Listen, I didn't finish the physics homework so I was hoping I can borrow your work and -!' he starts but Izuru grabs his arm and starts pulling him away.
'Hisagi! Renji has been looking all over for you!' Izuru cuts in and drags him away from a grateful old me. Hisagi turns a dark shade of red.
'He has?' he glows and lets Izuru pull him along.
'Of course! What? You expect your boyfriend to forget you on Valentine's Day?'
'That's today? Oh my God, I didn't get him anything!'
'Don't worry! Luckily, I know a place we can go to before lessons start so you can get him something from there!'
'Thank you,' I mouth to Izuru who gives me a thumbs-up before disappearing around the corner with a love struck Hisagi. Gin and I are alone now but not completely. We both shift uncomfortably in our places due to the many eyes of people around us as they enter school. Gin approaches me casually and leans down to whisper in my ear. His breath tickles me and it smells like peppermint and chocolate. I lick my lips in anticipation.
'How about we go to my office,' he says softly and I shiver. That tone of his always sends goose bumps coursing up my body. It's always so soothing and yet so seductive I'm drawn to him like a magnet. He didn't even have to tell me where to go. I'd follow him to the ends of the earth and beyond without a care of where we are as long as I am with him. I feel like I'm walking on air as I follow him to his office. I'm so mesmerized by his presence I don't even apologize to Sentaro for stepping on his girlfriend Kiyone's foot. Nothing else seems visible to me right now but this man before me. Once the door to his office is securely locked, he turns around to face me and sighs deeply.
'Happy Valentine's Day, my little neko,' he murmurs and presents me with the bouquet of red, red roses. I accept and inhale their gorgeous scent. My eyes glaze over at the power the smell has over me. I'm a sucker for red roses.
'Happy Valentine's Day to you too, Gin,' I say softly and hand him a small box wrapped in blue paper. When he opens it, he gasps in surprise as he pulls out a thin silver bracelet with a miniature kitten dangling from it. He chuckles softly as he makes to tie it around his wrist.
'So my little neko isn't so far away, eh?' he pouts and frowns when he can't get the clasp to close. It's my turn to laugh as I take his slender hand in my small ones.
I carefully close the clasp and start playing with his shirt sleeve when he then encloses both my hands in his and then pulls me closer. He then closes the distance between our lips and lovingly caresses my hands as he kisses me. I don't know when he stopped holding my hands and moved his own down my torso to my hips. I gasp into the kiss as he digs his nails into my jean clad hips. My body arches forward to his as if craving him. His eyes open a bit and I get a glimpse of those beautiful ruby red eyes that mesmerize me every time I see them. He then eyes his couch, which is now worn out by our constant use of it.
'It's early in the morning,' I grumble but willingly follow like a lamb to a shepherd as he carries me to it and lays me down on my back.
'That's the best time,' Gin smirks as he kisses me tenderly again, running his fingers under my shirt. The feel of his long, delicate fingers against my sensitive skin feels like heaven. I moan as he presses his body against mine and we both know that our bodies have already made up their minds on what they want.
'Valentine's Day sex is the best,' Gin coaxes but he already has me convinced as I let him unzip my pants. I smirk at him as I slowly undo his shirt.
'Make it quick; I got class in ten minutes,' I say firmly though deep down I wish there was more time to prolong this pleasure. Gin laughs softly.
'I'll make every minute worth it,' he whispers seductively and begins planting kisses all over my face, neck and chest.
'Don't you always?' Gin kisses me deeply and passionately. He actually tastes like chocolate and peppermint.
'I love you, Gin.'
'I love you too, Toshiro.'
