Snow Covered Strawberries

His heart felt as if it were beating out of his chest at the sight of the man he had longed for for far too long. Images ran through his teal head of what he was going to say.



Would his boy run away screaming? Would he pounce on Grimmjow the second he saw him the way Grimmjow so desperately wanted to pounce on him? Would he kick the shit outta Grimmjow for disappearing and not letting the teen know that he was alive? Or would he simply walk away without saying a word? These questions tormented the former Espada. But there was no way of knowing until he made his move.



Grimmjow thought that Ichigo\'s reiatsu sensing were just as bad as ever as he approached him. The strawberry never showed a sign that he noticed the large man approaching him. But even through the white haze Grimmjow knew he had to have noticed him. How could he not?



Snow danced in swirls around Ichigo making him seem even more painfully beautiful than he already was. Ichigo was gazing off into the distance and in that moment Grimmjow could see the change in the younger man that Urahara described. He looked sad, and lines were already beginning to form on the young mans face due to the stress he should never have had to go through. The teal haired man felt a pain in his chest at the sight of his beautiful strawberry looking so sad. And even though Ichigo was still tan he seemed much more pale than Grimmjow remembered. Regardless, he was still amazingly stunning in the former Espada\'s eyes.



Grimmjow had to stop himself from jumping on Ichigo right then and there, but he figured that Ichigo would not appreciate being stripped and forcefully taken in zero degree weather on the roof of his old school, so the teal haired man held himself back and forced himself to just be content with just sitting next to Ichigo.



The Espada slowly walked to Ichigo, slightly shaking in nervousness. He sat in the cold wet snow next the orange haired man without saying a word. Ichigo didn\'t look at Grimmjow, he kept his eyes at his feet, his arms wrapped around his legs, almost protectively.



They sat this way for some time and as the minutes went by Grimmjow became less nervous. If Ichigo was going to try and beat the life out of him or want nothing to do with him and walk away, he would have done so by now.



“I\'m-” started the larger man.



“Don\'t. You don\'t need to say it. I understand.” interrupted Ichigo.



“....” Grimmjow didn\'t now what to say. He had planned on an apology but was interrupted and the words out of Ichigo\'s mouth shocked him a little.



“I didn\'t think you were dead.... not really. But even so, it still drove me crazy to not know.”



“I should have come sooner.”



“Yeah, you should have.” chuckled Ichigo.



He turned and looked Grimmjow in the eyes and smiled. At that moment the former Espada could have died happy. The world seemed to stop. He had never seen the strawberry smile and his chocolate colored eyes were hypnotizing, the former Espada couldn\'t bring himself to look away. If Grimmjow would have been standing, Ichigo\'s smile would have brought him to his knees, it was amazing and beautiful just like the man it came from. A shot of heat went straight to the teal haired man\'s groin. \'Not yet\' thought Grimmjow \'you\'ve waited too long to fuck this up, what if he\'s not ready?\'



“What\'s wrong?” questioned Ichigo.



“Nothin\'”



“Your lying, we\'re too much alike. I can tell there is something going through your mind.”



“It\'s just....” Grimmjow hesitated.



“Yes?”



“I\'ve been thinking about this moment for so long and now I don\'t know what to do or say to you... it\'s just confusing, that\'s all.” \'well... there are quite a few things I can think of to do to you...\' Grimmjow thought with a chuckle.



“I see. If you have something you want to say or do just do it. Don\'t think.”



The older man laughed as Ichigo scowled at him. In reality, Grimmjow had laughed more out of nervousness than anything. There was a mental dam holding back the river of words that threatened to flood out of his mouth. He didn\'t want to say the wrong thing but he didn\'t know what the right thing to say would be. \'Fuck it, I\'ll wing it, and if he doesn\'t like what I have say I\'ll pretend I was joking\' he thought.



“What the fuck is your problem?” the strawberry snapped. Ichigo was pissed. \'Why does he have to torment me like this?!\'



“If I did I want to do to you without thinking, you\'d be naked, face down in about three inches of snow. Now, is that what you want? You\'ll get frostbite on your ass.” Grimmjow asked with a raised brow. \'pleeeease let him say yes! I don\'t know how much longer I can hold back!\' he inwardly thought.



A red flush came across Ichigo\'s face. This is not what he had expected to come from the other mans mouth, but it was what he wanted from him (aside from the frostbite on his backside) which is why he was blushing so madly now. He had thought and (wet)dreamed about the older man since the last time they were face to face. The redhead had imagined what it would be like to be caressed by Grimmjow, to kiss him, feeling his tongue explore that sexy mouth and feel Grimmjows explore his, hot and wet. He had imagined what it would be like to be filled by him in every sense of the word. To have Grimmjow take him would be a dream come true. And most of all he wanted to know what it would be like to be loved by him.



Without thinking a second longer, Ichigo didn\'t even hesitate. “Yes, that\'s what I want.” he said in a low voice.



Ichigo\'s lust filled voice sent another shot of heat straight to Grimmjow\'s groin. The older man almost groaned hearing it. It was damn sexy.



The former Espada reached out his hand to caress his strawberry\'s face. His fingers slowly grazed around his Ichigo\'s jaw line finally reaching his chin, which he held in his forefinger as he let his thumb brush against the younger mans lower lip. He swore he heard a deep throated moan escape the younger man. Ichigo\'s lips were so soft, never in a million lifetimes would Grimmjow have thought that they would be this soft. It was like silk under his calloused fingers. Under his fingers he also felt a slight shudder from the strawberry. Grimmjow had forgotten where they were and exactly how cold it was.



\'Ichigo must be freezing\' thought the espada. Grimmjow hardly felt cold at all, perhaps from all the adrenaline going crazy in his system or maybe because he just didn\'t get cold like normal humans. Even though may have looked human, and lost most of his powers, he still was not completely human.



Finally without thinking, Grimmjow leaned in and placed his lips on Ichigo\'s. The instant they touched Grimmjow felt his head spin, this simple kiss was the single most amazing experience of Grimmjow\'s life.
