Hi Guys! ^_^

Well.. I just noticed that, I had a lot of *he smiled* last chapter.. I hope you guys don't mind.

I super wanted you to see or picture or imagine how much emotion they had because of their reunion and so without even knowing it, I typed he smiled, he smiled, he smiled for so many fucking time. I apologize.

Now, do not be afraid to critic my story please. Another reason why I'm doing this is because I wanted to learn how to effectively write a story. I will not improve if you guys will just keep those nasty things to yourselves! *laughs*

Thanks for reviewing. Really, it keeps me excited and going. *bows*

To the unknown!

Grimmjow dragged Ichigo to one of those rooms at the back of the stage as soon as the program ended earning them a few gazes from the crowd. But he don't care. He then technically threw Ichigo in then followed inside and locked the door behind them.

He sighed, still facing the door. He doesn't know what to do.

Hell, he doesn't even know if anything that's happening right now is real!

He's been very nervous the moment he saw Ichigo. He even forgot the speech that Gin prepared for him to say during the program. And as a result, he just gave thanks to the people who attended his exhibit, and told them to enjoy it.

He's been itching to be alone with Ichigo. His mind is flooded by scenarios, and words that we wanted to say to him, words that he's been practicing for six years. But now that the moment is here, everything suddenly just collapsed. He doesn't know which word to say, which act he should do first, or if he should say anything at all. Because seriously, Ichigo might be just on a vacation and decided to see how he's doing.

Damn, he could be married now, for crying out loud!

That thought made him angry.

He inhaled sharply, only to blew the air out of his lungs in as much force as he could.

Either way, he had to face him now.

Let's just hope for the best.

...

!~oOo~!

Ichigo was surprised when Grimmjow suddenly grabbed his arm right after Kisuke told them that they are now free to do whatever they wanted an hour after the program. And he tried his best to keep up with him as they fled the floor to hide somewhere behind the stage.

He's nervous. And he can feel pain from the part of his arm where Grimmjow is grabbing him. Like he's something that could disappear easily. That made him smile.

Grimmjow opened one of the doors and threw him in, good thing he was able to brace himself, avoiding himself to fall. He frowned as he massaged his wrist that's now free from Grimmjow's grasp.

He was about to say something when he saw Grimmjow locked the door and leaned his head on it as if he was asking the door to help him.

He gulped.

This is it huh?

But instead of a confrontation, Grimmjow just remained standing like that, like he was now fighting his own battle inside his head. And this is the first time that Ichigo saw him like that. As far as he can remember, it's always been action before brains. Act now, think later. And that made Ichigo wonder what other changes does Grimmjow had. And if it was his fault.

...

!~oOo~!

A few more minutes and it's getting really hard to breath for Ichigo. The tension is building up. He needed to do something about this. He cleared his throat and opened his mouth.

"Uhh, G-Grimm?"

Grimmjow stiffened upon hearing his voice. He still can't believe that Ichigo is now standing a few feet behind him. They're finally together . After 6 six years.

Yeah.. He left him for six goddamned years. Memories came flashing back.

The morning after, the days that followed that then became years of hollowness. Like there's something missing inside him, that's eating the other parts of him. He can't stand the pain, that's why he started painting.

"Grimm, are you angry-"

"OF COURSE I'M ANGRY!"

Ichigo unwillingly stepped back, away from Grimmjow. He was surprised. He was not expecting Grimmjow to shout like that. He's really angry. He's scared.

"You said you loved me! You fucking confessed to me! Then what?! You. Left. Me. Alone!"

Tears started to flow down Ichigo's cheeks. He clenched his hand really tight.

Grimmjow's right.

He left him alone. It was his fault from the start. And he can't help but just look down as he absorbed Grimmjow's words.

He broke him. He fucking broke him.

"Six years. Six fucking years Ichigo! I've waited for you."

Ichigo sniffed, but tried his best to not make a sound.

"I know you heard me when I said that I love you too, I know you do. But you didn't even stopped. You just ran away."

Ichigo gasped after hearing that. He have to protect himself.

"B-Because I was heart broken Grimm-"

"And what do you think I'm supposed to do?!"

Ichigo closed his eyes firmly as if everything would stop by doing so. This is too much. Sure, he came back knowing that this is not going to be easy. That he would be facing Grimmjow's wrath, but actually hearing those words have this different kind of intensity.

"I-I-I... I-I'm s-sorry..."

He exhaled, not being able to stop a few sobs as he breathe.

Grimmjow bit his lip after he heard those sound, his heart is now being eaten by this very huge emotion, and he have to release it.

He punched the door. Hard.

He then turned and faced Ichigo only to see him looking at his own feet. He can feel him shivering, obviously trying to suppress his sobs like a child. Suddenly, all of his anger disappeared, like it was never been there to begin with. Seriously, how can he remain angry to the boy that he's been waiting for so long to come back?

He sighed, a light frown occupying his lips.

He's still a cry baby..

Grimmjow bit his lower lip once more as he slowly walked towards Ichigo's direction. He stopped in front of him and gently touched Ichigo's cheeks.

"Don't cry Ichi, please..."

He said.

Ichigo sniffed as he raised his face to look at Grimmjow. He's scowling. But it was obvious that he's happy.

Is he happy to see me?

Grimmjow wiped his tears and brushed the loose strands of his hair that are now covering his eyes.

"I love you Ichi.."

Ichigo doesn't have to know what he needs to do. He closed his eyes as Grimmjow leaned down to kiss him.

It was soft at first. Just a peck. But it was not enough for Ichigo, so he raised his arms and clung them around Grimmjow's neck to pull him closer as Grimmjow wound his arms around Ichigo's hips.

Ichigo opened his mouth for him. Grimmjow moaned as he pushed his tongue inside Ichigo's waiting lips. Discovering every nook, every cranny, every corner of Ichigo's mouth.

It was Ichigo's turn to moan as he submissively played with Grimmjow's tongue. He tightened his embrace. Trying to pull him much closer, because really, he can't seem to get enough of it. He's been waiting for this.

And he wanted more.

Grimmjow earned another moan from Ichigo as his hands started moving all over him. Exploring like tiny soldiers around his back and sides.

And Ichigo can't help but shiver as his hands slid down to Grimmjow's shoulders, fisting on his shirt. Because he can't breath.

Fucking lungs.

Grimmjow then shallowed his kisses and eventually ended it with light kisses before allowing a short distance between them. Enough for him to see Ichigo's face as he cupped his cheeks and try to catch his own breath.

They looked at each other's eyes for a long time. Blue cerulean against honey.

And for a few minutes, no one dared to speak and ruined this perfect silence.

"G-Grimm..."

Ichigo whispered, eyes trying to look at both of those round blue spheres at the same time.

He placed his hand over Grimmjow's that are still cupping his cheeks as he closed his eyes. Trying to catch the feeling his calloused hand. Those skillful hands that created those wonderful paintings.

"I.. I thought that, I'll never see you again Ichi.."

He heard him sighed.

Ichigo opened his eyes, only to see Grimmjow with a very pained expression.

"...I thought..."

Ichigo dropped his hands and hugged Grimmjow tight.

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry Grimm.. I'm sorry.."

He doesn't want to see Grimmjow like this. He doesn't want to see him suffer like this.

"Don't be..."

He felt Grimmjow's arms wound around him again forming a tight embrace.

He nodded. Feeling his tears fall once more on his cheeks, Those tears that somehow managed to escape his eyes.

"I missed you Grimm.."

Grimmjow smirked as he inhaled the scent of Ichigo's hair.

"Not as much as I missed you dummy.."

He sniffed as a soft smile formed on his lips making him hug Grimmjow more.

"Asshole.."

Grimmjow laughed as Ichigo loosen his hug and let go of him to wipe his own face.

"This, is not a dream right? Ichi?"

Grimmjow cupped his face again earning Ichigo's questioning gaze.

"You're not going to leave me again, right?"

Ichigo chuckled as he looked at Grimmjow straight to his eyes.

"No. Never."

It was now Grimmjow's turn to smile as they both held each other's hand staring at each other in wonder.

"I love you Grimm.."

"I love you more."

Ichigo grinned.

"I love you most."

BANG BANG

A loud knock on the door made them both jump and looked at the door almost at the same time.

"Uhh, 'ey Grimmey, I 'ope yer not screwin' Ichi jus' yet cu'z Hat's lookin' fer' ya.. ."

Ichigo saw Grimmjow frowned, and he can't help but laugh.

"Of course I'm not! Get out of here!"

Grimmjow called back, then tightened his hug on Ichigo, making the smaller one hold his breath.

"Aww Grimm! That hurts.."

Then suddenly, Grimmjow heard Kisuke's voice from a-far that drained almost all of the colors on Grimmjow's face.

"Is he there?"

"Holy shhhh..."

"?"

The door opened with a loud bang, making the two flinch.

"Oh, so Ichigo's here too! Good! I need to introduce you guys to some curator!"

Both let out s sigh as they walked out towards Kisuke. It's unavoidable for now. But they will surely make it up with each other after this whole event was over.

!~oOo~!

"I wish I could come with you Hally, but you know that I got so much work to do here."

Hallibel smiled as her older sister helped her with her luggage just as a huge plane took off somewhere nearby, flooding the whole place with so much noise. Her sister can be really worrisome sometimes, but she's already old, and bitchy, and she knows that she could take care of herself.

"Don't talk to some wierdos you got that? Always ask the police. And be reserved. I heard Japanese people are not very showy. "

Hallibel sighed as she gathered her bags and faced her sister.

"Nel, don't worry, I can speak Japanese, Ichigo taught me. I'll call you as soon as the plane landed okay?"

Nel's face was field with worry once more, and she can't help but frown.

"Alright, well then, enjoy, I'll see you in a month okay?"

Hallibel nodded, then she turned and started walking towards the entrance of the airport.

Just wait for me Ichigo. I'm coming.
