Blue and Orange

Author note : This is kind of an AU. Ichigo is a normal kid and everyone else is as well...thought I would point that out.
------------------------------------

Ichigo walked through the hallways half tired from studying for exams and the other half are just stresses of being a young adult now. He was 17 and life was getting pretty busy. Not to mention he was now a junior in high school. He stayed late at the school's library this one beautiful night. A little to late, he noticed the time when the lights started being turned off around him. He got up and felt eyes on him, he couldn't put his finger on who it was but he definitely felt a pair on him.

He walked through the empty hallways and heard footsteps behind him. He glanced back and couldn't tell who it was but could definitely tell it was a man and he was tall. Not to be paranoid he hurried up his movements through the halls. When he noticed he was still being trailed. The orange haired boy bit his lower lip and hurried to his locker when he felt the mans presence get closer when finally the man pressed up against the locker next to his.

"Oi is there a reason you are running from me?" He asked with laughter in his voice.

"What the fuck dude, you scared the shit out of me. Didn't know if you were some creepy janitor." Ichigo laughed looking up to the man next to him. His mahogany eyes widened to the man next to him. It was the transfer student from America. He had hardly any manners from what he had heard from rumors and had a strange deformity on his right cheek. It almost looked like a pair of teeth. Ichigo looked away quickly and bit his lower lip again.

The transfer student's eyes narrowed a bit in hurt " Well...here thought you would like this. You left it in the library." He spoke with his raspy voice. The man held out a folder. It was all of the reviews Ichigo had been working on for the past week.

Ichigo took them and looked up to say something but the foreigner turned on his heel and was about to leave. " Wait!" Ichigo shouted.

The newcomer looked back with one eye " What?" He sighed in anger.

" I just wanted to thank you. I have been working on these all week...guess I need to start sleeping." He laughed.

"..."

"Uhh...so where are you from?" Ichigo asked scratching his orange hair.

The man raised an eyebrow in curiosity " Look you don't have to be fucking nice to me just because I am new...or because I have some god damn bone on my face." he spat.

"I wasn't sympathizing if that is what you are getting at. I just wanted to thank you." He retorted crossing his arms. "Plus its not everyday you see someone with just as bright as hair as I have...naturally.

The man turned around in surprise, no one had actually yelled back at him at this school or any school for that matter. He had transferred to at least 6 other schools in Japan and 3 others in America before he moved with his brother here. Above all the orange haired kid was right...his teal hair was natural.

Ichigo turned back to his locker and grabbed his black jacket with red stripes down the arms. He put one arm in and the other in as well in its rightful sleeve. He popped the hood and collar and zipped it half way up.

"My name is Grimmjow Jeagerjaques" he spoke with a grin he hadn't given anyone in a long while.

"Oh yeah?" Ichigo smiled putting his big bulky head phones " My name is Ichigo Kurosaki." He made eye contact with Grimmjow.

" What the fuck kind of name is strawberry?" He spat.

" Its my name got it? Plus its not like yours is much better. Grimmjow." He pointed out.

"At least I am not a fruit." He cackled.

Ichigo grinned a bit and laughed " Guess your right. You busy tonight?" He asked adjusting his binders in his messanger bag.

"Why you asking? Fruit." He grinned.

"Ahhh, just wondering if you wanted to go out and get a drink at the new cafe down the road." He laughed

"Well." He paused looking at the watch on his wrist. " I have some time." He smiled adjusting his oval shaped glasses that shielded his azure eyes.

Ichigo moved through the doorways and noticed how comfortable around this man he really was. He rarely ever felt fully comfortable around anyone. Considering he has gotten in many fights because of stupid shit. For instance a week ago he was pinned down and got the shit beat out of him...for what reason you may be wondering? Well it was his hair color...

Ichigo moved through the streets and noticed it was around 7pm. So he still had some time before the cafe closed. He lead the way to the place and was happily on his way when 6 guys appeared from the alley. Ichigo rolled his eyes and took off his headphones.

"Well, well, well look at what we have here. Two freak shows for us to be entertained by." one laughed.

The others joined in, one in the back spoke up " Yeah looks like fruit is an actual fruit cake."

"Look at his boyfriend."

"Wonder whose the girl?" Another added.

Grimmjow stepped forth " I am guessing these are the guys that kicked your ass a week ago?"

Ichigo's eyes widened he looked back at him in surprise memories went through his mind. It was raining a week ago, he was dragged into the alley and got the shit beat out of him. He was left to bleed on the ground...alone and cold...until someone came up to him. His voice was that of a foreigner but spoke perfect Japanese. He reached down and pulled him up and carried him back to a hospital. Could that have been Grimmjow?!

Ichigo was about to ask how he knew of such when one of the guys launched themselves at him. Ichigo dodged it and saw how quick Grimmjow was when his knee was placed in the guys face. The guy fell and coughed up some blood in pain.

Grimmjow stepped forth " Whose next?"

"Son of a bitch!"One pulled out a small knife and dashed towards him. Ichigo jumped in front of him and got low and chopped sideways at his knee. Making his leg buckle and him yelp in pain. He dropped his weapon which Grimmjow caught in the air before it could get close to Ichigo.

" Haha, lookie what I have, its about the size of your cock." Grimmjow yelled slamming his foot onto the mans back.

Ichigo chuckled and rose to his feet cracking his knuckles. " So, when you guys going to stop coming around bothering me?"

The other four charged at them and Ichigo sighed and cracked his neck, he brought his body down low and uppercut one of the guys charging him. Grimmjow threw one over his shoulder and grabbed the other by his neck and slammed him down to the ground. The last one charged at Ichigo and threw a shitty punch at his shoulder which Ichigo caught and pushed down.Grimmjow put his foot on his neck " Say your sorry fuck head."

"I, I'm sorry."

"Like you mean it." Grimmjow growled.

"I'M SORRY!" The man cried under his foot.

Grimmjow grinned big " It's a little late you fuck head. But if you come around this kid again I swear your brains will be on this side walk." He roared lifting his foot. The man below him stood up in fear and sprinted away. The other 5 on the ground were out cold. Ichigo laughed and picked up his bag.

" Your pretty good." He laughed.

"Yeah, well your not bad your self." Grimmjow winked.Ichigo smiled warmly and continued to the cafe, which the two both were actually excited for.

When the two arrived Ichigo ordered his drink and waited for Grimmjow to order his. Grimmjow was well dressed, he had a fur hooded jacket which was also black. He wore tight black gloves with pin stripe pants. His shoes were pretty cool as well. Grimmjow was actually a pretty good looking guy.When all was said and the two had their drinks in hand, the two were on their way. Grimmjow sipped at his and finally broke the silence.

" so where did you learn to fight like that?"

"My mom got me into karate, so I just kept going." He nodded.

"Ahh, she probably didn't expect you to kick some ass with that skill did she?" Grimmjow laughed.

" Yeah...she probably didn't expect me to be doing that." He laughed again. " Say Grimmjow, why did you move here?" He asked.

"Well...I guess in good ol' America my mom and dad didn't really want me to much." He said almost pained.

"..."

"I mean sure they had me and all and didn't abort me then and there...but...just my dad beat the living shit outta me so I hit him back...guess I hit to hard. Courts called it self defense. So now...I am here with my brother." He bit his lower lip and began to drink once more.

"Well I guess don't look back now. It's to late to look back now. Just keep your eyes forward on the future. Hell you have been given the chance to start new in a new country. That's pretty cool." He smiled sipping at his coffee.

Grimmjow looked over at him and couldn't believe it but...he was right. Grimmjow smiled and leaned forward " Your kind of a girl aren't 'cha?" He poked fun.

" What the fuck is that supposed to mean!" He growled.

Grimmjow laughed " Nothing. So Aren't you going to ask?" He looked over at him again.

"About what?"

"My face, why I have it?" Grimmjow was waiting.

"No. I wasn't going to, I know you probably get it all the time. No point in asking."

Grimmjow raised and eyebrow and fell back to his chair, he raised his arm to rest on the backing of the tall bar stool. " I don't get you. Why don't you have any friends again?" Grimmjow asked.

"I have friends you loser, I just was out late studying." Ichigo spat.

"Ohh," He nodded putting his hand to his face " That's why your a nerd!" He exclaimed pointing his finger.

"No, I just can't fail on my junior year." He laughed.

"Oh. Is that all you are? I thought you were a senior or somethin'." He chuckled taking a sip of his drink once more.

" Naw, I am a senior next year. Ok fine you want me to ask?" He questioned.

"There we go!" Grimmjow laughed loudly.

"Why do you have it?"

"I was making it for a Halloween costume. It's just clay, baked and it has a ceramic finish. I was so excited, it was going to be a wicked bone mask. My dad came in all drunk in shit...he said that will make me look like a freak even more, with my blue hair in all." He paused." So what did he do...he took the mask and shoved it into my right cheek. I had some nails on the back to hold it up. so when he shoved it in my face...he didn't know it had those on the back..."

"Holy shit dude...why can't you remove it?"

"If I remove it, I could lose all feeling in my jaw. The nail went through to the maze in my head filled with nerves in such. I guess if they remove I could become "lame"." He did the finger quotations." But its ok, I just look kind of creepy now all the time."

"I actually think its kind of cool looking." Ichigo added.

Grimmjow felt the red go to his cheeks. No one has ever, ever commented nicely on this matter. Grimmjow felt the blood rushing to his cheeks and felt the total urge to kiss him. Right then and there. Ichigo sipped at his coffee slowly and looked up " What? You ok?" He asked

"Yeah, I am fine." Grimmjow added " You doing anything this weekend?" He asked.

"Well...let me think." He opened his phone " No, no I am not. Why?" Ichigo looked up.

"Want to go out again?" Grimmjow asked with a devilish grin.

Ichigo felt his heart pounding ' Say yes, he is extremely attractive...wait what the fuck am I gay?I don't care if I am gay...this guy is' He thought finally spitting out an answer " Yes sure, where were you thinking of going?" He asked sitting up.

"I don't know anything about Japan. I just moved here." He chuckled.

"Guess I can take you out to some REAL sushi restaurants." He winked.

Grimmjow laughed standing up " Yeah I betcha the American equivalence for sushi is just throwing some fish in seaweed."

"You don't know Japan until you know its food." Ichigo added standing up as well. " you ready to get going?"

"Yuppers" He nodded.

Ichigo and him talked on their way home for a while until finally they both had to split ways. It was darker now and rain started to fall from the sky. Ichigo put his hand on his hip and talked quieter " Well...uh have a good night. Thanks again for bringing these to me."

Grimmjow pushed him up against the wall behind him. " Tell me now so I know. What do you think of me?" He asked inches away from Ichigo's mouth.

Ichigo could feel his hot breath against his lips, it was so...tempting. He was about to open his mouth to answer when his lips were covered by Grimmjow's. Ichigo's eyes widened and he felt his pulse race through his body. Grimmjow pressed himself up against the wall and kissed him deeply. Ichigo moaned and let Grimmjow continue...he didn't fight, he didn't freak. He just returned the kiss as if he were under a spell. Grimmjow pulled back and was panting heavily.

"Fuck...well...I guess that answers that one." He commented through heavy breathing.

"...Yeah...uh...well...maybe I should be going" Ichigo said moving under Grimmjow arms that were pinning him against the wall.

Grimmjow grabbed his wrist " Wait, this weekend still right?"

"..." Ichigo felt his heart pounding " Yeah." He smiled feeling the blood rush to his cheeks.

"You liked it right? The kiss?" Grimmjow added.

Ichigo couldn't answer, he couldn't bring himself to actually answer. Before the words slipped through his lips, Grimmjow pulled him back to where he was and kissed him once more frantically. Ichigo moaned and closed his eyes kissing him once more. Ichigo pushed his tongue into Grimmjow's mouth and returned the kiss. Grimmjow took this as an invitation and took control of the situation.His teeth found Ichigo's lower lip and tugged gently.Ichigo let out a moan that made Grimmjow's member harden instantly. He pushed teasingly at Ichigo's lower half, pushing his hardened member at him. Ichigo's expression changed to surprise. Grimmjow glanced at his face and saw the expression. He grinned and let his lips go, he laughed letting go of Ichigo's wrist. He gently swept across Ichigo's fingers, teasing him a bit. Grimmjow then moved to his chin and traced the outline of his chin to his neck to his chest.

"I will see you later then, here" Grimmjow spoke low and warmly. Grimmjow handed Ichigo a piece of paper and folded it into a rectangle. He pushed it into the messanger bag on Ichigo's shoulder and closed it back up. "Later, fruit." He laughed turning around and heading home.

Ichigo watched Grimmjow walk away and when he turned the corner, he brought his fingers to his lips. " What the hell...is up with me."
