Resurrection: Chapter 11

Ichigo’s POV

“Congratulations, Nnoitra Jiruga and Ichigo Kurosaki, for passing with the highest scores in a century!” The speaker beamed at the both of us, who were now in normal Shinigami shihakusho and bored to death. Nnoitra yawned while I examined my nails with interest, not even paying attention. Stupid ceremony. I just wanted to be done with the fucking academy and start my role as a Shinigami. Tomorrow I would be meeting with my new squad as well as getting tested to see what seat I would be in.

As soon as the ceremony was over the graduating Shinigami let out a cheer, and in general just made a huge uproar. Nnoitra snatched me by the arm and started to drag me out of the assembly hall, but was stopped by Rukia and Renji who came to congratulate me.

“I knew you could do it Ichigo!” Rukia said and gave me a big hug. I patted her awkwardly on the head and ignored Nnoitra whose eyes were flashing and was beginning to growl.

“As if there was any doubt.” Renji scoffed and gave me a manly pat on the back.

“And, uh, congratulations to you, too.” Rukia said uncomfortably to Nnoitra who looked like he was about to kill Renji. She elbowed the red head who was glaring at Nnoitra disdainfully.

“Yeah, congratulations. Anyways, come on Ichigo, let’s go celebrate!” Renji grabbed me by the elbow and started to yank me away from Nnoitra, who was quick to grab my other arm.

“I don’t think so. Ichigo is going to be celebrating with me…privately.” Rukia frowned in confusion but Renji was quick to pick up on the innuendo, his eyes widening and his jaw dropping in disbelief.

“No way. He’s coming with us.” Renji tightened his grip on my arm, and I swiftly boxed him on the ear.

“This isn’t tug-of-war.” I said crankily. “And I’m sorry Renji, Rukia, but I already made plans with Nnoitra.”

Nnoitra smirked at Renji victoriously and I gave him a sharp jab in the arm that made him frown at me. “And you, there will be no private celebrating with that attitude.” I marched off, Nnoitra close on my heels, while Rukia still looked confused, and Renji pissed. I made sure we were clear of any people before I whipped around to glower at Nnoitra.

“I assumed you didn’t want anybody to know you were in a relationship with me.” I said through gritted teeth.

“Tch. What the fuck do I care about them? I just don’t want that red-head pussy to try anything on ya.” Nnoitra growled possessively.

“I can look after myself.” I said, a little miffed.

“Hah! Like I’d doubt that. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to let the idiot drool all over ya. No one gets to do that.”

“I’m not a thing.”

“Stop bitching, Ichi. Yur just making problems now, I don’t fuck things, I fuck you.”

I snorted at that and relaxed my stance. “Not yet you don’t.”

“Like you can resist me.” He stepped beside me and we continued to walk.

“I have so far.”

“So far.” His eyes curved mischievously as he grinned broadly. “But you’ll be spreading your legs after you see what I have in store for you tonight.” Nnoitra had no subtlety.

“If you say it like that your chances decrease.” I informed him, although the snort that came with the statement destroyed any chastising tone I had developed.

“What would ya rather I say? I’m going to fuck you so hard you won’t be able to move. I’m going to screw you into the mattress. I’m going to make love to you until you beg me to stop. Which would you prefer?”

“…”

“What?”

“Let’s just stick with innuendos. And I told you that I’m not going to jump right into bed with you. If you’re going to keep pushing me we can just forget about it.” He stopped mid-step so I turned to look at him. “What-“

His lips covered mine uncharacteristically gently and he cupped my cheeks. I returned it with a smile, not caring if anyone came along to see us like this. He pulled away slowly, giving one last lick to my lips. “You’re being stupid and it irritates me.”

Of course he would have to go and ruin any semblance of a romantic moment. “Asshole.”

“Tch. Come on, lets go make out.”

We ended up just staying in to eat, neither of us desiring the large crowds that would be at any of the restaurants. After tonight we would be in separate quarters, which would be weird. It would be nice to have more space, but I had gotten so used to Nnoitra’s presence that it would probably feel empty.

I sighed and shifted. I was sitting across from Nnoitra on the bed, we were seated so our legs were in between each others and were relaxing on the pillows. “I got a surprise for you.” Nnoitra said, his foot nudging my hip as he reached under his bed. “I figured ya would take chocolate-covered strawberries as a joke, but I know how much ya like sweets.” I glanced at his hand and was surprised to see a box of chocolate-covered cherries. My eyes lit up and I tried to snatch them from his hands, but he held them away. “Nu-uh.” I glowered at him darkly, promising pain and retribution if he dared keep them from me. “I get ta feed them to ya.”

I glanced from the delicious chocolates in his hand to his face. “’Kay.”

His eyes lit up in a way that had me very suspicious. He moved closer so he was sitting in between my legs, his knees bent on either side of my hips. We were only a foot apart, but still comfortable. He opened the packaged and picked one out. “Open up, Ichigo.” I did so immediately. My brow furrowed as he put the cherry in between his teeth and then leaned forward and pressed our lips together. I moaned into the kiss and darted my tongue out to get the chocolate, pulling away to take it into my mouth and crush it, enjoying the dance of flavors across my tongue.

“Good?” He said, our faces mere inches apart. I nodded and opened my mouth again, pointing at it. “Greedy.”

I moved forward this time, kissing him again without the chocolate in between us. When we parted I smirked. “That’s what I wanted.”

“I’m happy to oblige.” With that he scooted our bodies back so I was lying down with him on top of me. He raised another chocolate to my lips, but this time crushed it in between his fingers, the white cream oozing out and dripping onto my lips. I grabbed a hold of his hand and licked his fingers slowly, humming as I sucked the digits into my mouth. He pulled them back and licked the edges of my mouth where some cream was smeared. “You’re so messy.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

I flipped us over so he was on his back, careful not to hold him down. He was very touchy about being in anything that could be seen as a ‘submissive’ position and I respected that. I moved my mouth to his neck and sucked there lightly. I plucked one of the sweets from the box and broke it in half, allowing the cream to smear on his neck. I popped the rest of the broken shards in my mouth and moved up to suck at his neck again, nibbling lightly at his flesh. He gripped my hair and hissed my name, his hips coming up to rub enticingly against my ass.

“Ichi…”

“Hmm?” I didn’t stop my attack on his neck.

“Is it good?”

I pulled away to smile at him. “Yes, thank you.”

“Anything for my Shinigami.”

I snorted and rolled my eyes. “Does that make you my Shinigami?” I asked.

“If ya want.” He turned us back over. “I’m definitely not anyone else’s.”

“You better not be.”

“Course not. I couldn’t put up with anybody else.”

“Oh, so you just ‘put up’ with me?” I asked with a smirk.

“Tch. Yeah.” He lowered his mouth to my neck. “Not that I’m complaining.”

“Damn right.” I mumbled, finding it difficult to think when he found that spot on my neck that made me shiver.

“Nothing better change between us now that we’re not sleeping in the same room.” His voice coiled with a hint of warning and his hands at my waist nearly hurt. “You’re my only one, and I will be the only one for you. Got it?”

Possessive bastard. I would probably kill anybody else that said that to me. But since it was Nnoitra I filtered out his words and understood what he meant. “I’m not going to shack up with anybody.” I said back. “I’m not smart enough to juggle two lovers at once.”

“That better not be the only reason.” He growled out, but his body relaxed slightly. “And we’re not ‘lovers’ yet. I still haven’t fucked ya.”

“Idiot. What would you call us then?”

“You’re my mate.” He said, his grin wide as though this was obvious.

“Mate?” I asked with a raised eyebrow. “You mean like soul mates?” I doubted it- that would be way too romantic a proclamation for him.

“Eh?” His frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what I meant. “Well we are spirits…and mates. So I guess so.”

I snorted at his obliviously ‘romantic’ remark. “We’re boyfriends.” I said. “But we didn’t really talk about this before…Do you mind if I tell people?”

“Course not. Means less of ‘em hitting on ya.”

“Of course.” I said sarcastically. “Now give me more chocolate.”

“Hah! So pushy.” He leaned closer to me as he grabbed another one. “But I like that.” We shared it in between our mouths, the sweetness almost too much now.

“Nnoitra?” I said as we parted once more.

“What?”

“You don’t mind if we wait, do you?” I asked, cursing the slight timidity in my voice.

“Ya mean for sex?” He asked with a furrowed brow, his long hair tickling my face slightly.

“Yeah.”

“I’ll manage. You know I want ya, but I can wait a while.” He nuzzled my hair and his hands traced my torso lightly.

“How long is a while?”

“It’s a while. Don’t worry about it. When I can’t stand it anymore, you’ll know.”

“Will I?”

“It will be pretty damn obvious when I’m throwing you on the bed and ripping your clothes off.”

“Tch.” I turned my head to give him better access as he nibbled on my ear. “Whatever. Don’t rape me.”

He hummed some sort of agreement and rubbed my nipples through my kimono. “I’m ready whenever you are. I could go right now.”

“Not yet.” He didn’t say anything in response to that, just kissed my neck slowly and rolled us so we were both on our sides with me cuddled against his chest.

“A while is a while off. Stop being so angsty.”

“Whatever.”
