Chapter Text
The following morning Ichigo awoke to the sound of his brother blasting a radio in their shared dorm room to some American band he liked called “The Offspring” If Ichigo could remember right it was a song called “You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid” Don’t get him wrong, he enjoyed Shiro’s music taste a lot but when you are enjoying a dreamless sleep, you really don’t want to have to get up and try to get ready for school. After a minute or two and the song changed to “Scotty Doesn’t Know” Ichigo sat up and threw the pillow he got from Byakuya at his twin, hitting him hard in the head while he tried to pull up his white skinny jeans, causing him to fall forward which just caused his to laugh which ended in a yawn. “You are a jack ass. Couldn’t of woken me up first before blasting your music?” at this shiro turned around, buttoning up his black shift and gave the widest grin he could to his more colorful twin. “You were sleeping so hard, I figured that I’d let you keep moaning about your pissed off cat.” At this he winked leaving Ichigo speechless with his jaw slightly open.
It took him a couple of minutes to get his mind back together, Ichigo mumbling a few curses to his twin throughout the morning as they both got read. Without meaning to, he mirrored his twin, black skinny jeans with a white button up. Why did they constantly do this? Neither of them knew. But after the last few years, they just gave up on it. Hell, even when they weren’t together they somehow did the mirroring together.
As they both left the room to get head to class, Ichigo took out his phone, setting it on silent and opened his messages to send his brother’s crush a message.
Ichigo:
Hey Byakuya, I need you to do me a favor and message Shiro, telling him to not be so loud in the morning and let people sleep.
A few minutes passed before he got a reply
Byakuya:
Good morning. I do not see why I would need to message him about this. Did you not need to wake up to get ready for school?
With a loud groan that got Shiro’s attention, the albino twin turned around to grin at his brother. “You’re messaging his aren’t you?” Ichigo rolled his eyes and went back to texting before Shiro snatched the phone and started to read the messages. “Give that back, you jackass!” Ichigo yelled as Shiro began to run with his phone, eventually losing sight of his brother to turn around and bump into something large and hard, almost like running into a huge brick wall, in the end it ended with Ichigo in his ass, eyes shut and rubbing his eyes feeling his body becoming nothing but a giant dizzy spell. “What the…” After a couple seconds he looked up to see a large man, could be a bodybuilder with height of at least 6’10 glowering down at him. His face was scrunched with deep lines in his forehead, a scar across his jaw. “What is with everyone here being covered in scars?” He thought before the large man opened his mouth and in a raspy voice. “The fuck you think you are, punk?” Was all he heard before feeling himself being lifted into the air by the collar. “Woah! What the hell?!” Ichigo shouted before he noticed his brother coming back from around the corner, texting on Ichigo’s phone. “Shiro! Grab a teacher or something!” The orange haired teen shouted with a groan as he could feel his airway starting to tighten as the giant man started to squeeze the shirt collar tighter. The large man began to raise his arm back which only caused the orangette to shut his eyes preparing for the attack now thinking “This is how I die, huh? Couldn’t have done it quick? No, its going to be punched to death by this huge damn hippo…” Soon as he finished this thought he began to feel himself falling to the ground with a thud and the a loud crash infront of him. “Yami… you fucking bitch. You know better than to mess with whats mine.”
Feeling himself being dropped to the ground with a loud thud Ichigo looked up to see Grimmjow standing over him, almost like a protective wall, around him though the orangette could see the hippo standing in front of his hero holding his nose with a small amount of tears watering his eyes and what looked to be some blood trickling down his chin. “Grimmjow….” The larger growled which only caused a small amount of laughter before the smaller started to crack his neck and his knuckles. “Won’t be the first time I took your sorry ass down.” Suddenly with a thud Grimmjow jumped using a swift kick across the hippo’s head, only to cause him to stumble against a row of lockers, somehow not denting them with his mass and weight; Grimmjow landing on his feet and backflipping several feet away, leaning down like a panther, on for the hunt. “Strawberry… get back….” he said in almost a growl which only caused the orangette to pause for a moment while he stared between the two in confusion.
Ichigo began to feel a pull on his arm to only look up, seeing Shiro yanking his arm hard enough that he thought his arm would be pulled from the socket. “Get up, you fat ass!” Shiro yelled at him which suddenly brought him back to reality. “Not fat… jack ass…” he mumbled under his breath before stumbling up to follow his twin, as the two went a safe distance from the ensuing fight Ichigo was memorized to see Grimmjow’s movements even though he has already seen him in action on the field but this? This was something so much more feral than he ever expected from his… friend? Acquaintance? What were they exactly? Wait, did he just call Ichigo his?What the hell was going on with his life now? “Be safe..” was mumbled under his breath as he stared at his current savior .
Looking around Ichigo and Shiro both started to notice a small crowd starting to form. “Heh… Don’t worry, Berry… this big bitch won’t even get a scratch on me…” There was almost a delightful tone coming from Grimmjow as the larger male started to step towards him, the blood from his nose seeming to stop and his face scrunched in rage, looking almost like he never was hurt in the first place unless you included that red stain in his upper lip. “I’m. Going. To. Kill. You. PussyCat.” was said as he took deep breaths between each word as if his rage was stopping every other though.
In a flash of blue Grimmjow was in the air and his heel was slamming against Yammy’s head, the hippo began to stumble and he turned to throw a punch at the feline-like teen but only met a locker that got a giant dent in exchange. “Still way to slow.” and he had yet another heel to his face but this one came with what sounded like a loud crunch. Yammy stumbled into the lockers and started to blink in confusion. Grimmjow jumped once he landed and used Yammy as board to summersault back where he would be closer to Ichigo. “See Berry, he wasn’t going to touch me.” Ichigo could feel his cheeks burning as he looked at the biggest toothed grin he thought Grimmjow could muster. “Yeah yeah… show off.” He replied with a eyeroll.
“Will you idiots stop flirting so we can get out of here?!” Shiro kicked in, grabbing both their wrist and attempting to drag them back when he could hear someone yelling at everyone to disperse, probably a teacher trying to see what everyone was starting to gather for. “Come on, fat ass!” he shouted again which only got a smirk from Grimmjow and a blush with an eyebrow furrow from Ichigo. The three began to walk away with the crowds while Yammy slumped, drool and blood spotting his jacket and exposed chest.
“Have you two fought before? You seemed like you both had a grudge?” Ichigo asked.
“Yeah. We… spent time together…. Most of the people in this school has.” Grimmjow responded with a click of his tongue, almost like he started to speak without meaning to. Ichigo wasn’t sure but he thought that he might have crossed a line, forgetting that they were both being pulled by Shiro. Might as well ask the question that he asked himself earlier. “Is that why everyone seems to have a scar on their face? And why does Nnoitra have an eye patch?” At this the three suddenly stopped moving, Grimmjow snatching his hand from Shiro only to grab Ichigo’s face, chin in his palm and nailed digging into his cheeks, a look with what anyone else could name “Murderous intent” being shot to Ichigo. If his bladder was full, he would have pissed himself right there. “Don’t you ever bring that up in public unless you want to end up in a coffin, Berry. Everyone saw me save your ass so if you’re with me you will be safe but if you say that again when I’m not around…” and at that Grimmjow let his face go to look at Shiro. “The same thing goes for you, Albino.” He walked away leaving both of them to stand there and look at each other to both say in unison. “What the fuck was that?”
