Chapter Text
Grimmjow grunted when he heard his phone rang and kept on ringing. He felt around his bedside drawer for his phone, almost dropped it when he finally caught it.
Without bothering to look at the caller ID, he answered, "What?"
"Yo, Grimm! Where you at?" It was Yylfort.
"Home. The fuck you want?" He turned on his back, eyes still heavily closed.
He heard Yylfort hummed thoughtfully.
"Well~ If you get up now and maybe skip breakfast? You'll might just bare~ly made it for first period."
Grimmjow frowned as he digested what the hell the blondie just said before looking at his phone's clock.
It was Monday, and he only got 46 minutes before the first bell rang.
Grimmjow cursed loudly as he literally jumped from his bed and straight to the shower, Yylfort still connected and his laughs could be heard. Grimmjow cursed him through mouthful of toothpaste foam. It only made Yylfort laugh some more.
"See you at school, King. Good luck!" With that, Yylfort cut the call.
Grimmjow grunted annoyingly.
What a shit way to start school.
「グリウル」
Ulquiorra was sitting on his desk at the front in the middle row, ready for his first lesson. Back straight as he looked down as his notes; he already read the chapter for today's biology, he had some questions he would ask if the teacher didn't cover them yet.
The bell rang, and on time, the teacher entered the class. Just as the teacher stood behind his desk and right before the students bowed, all the people inside was surprised by the sound of the door crashed opened.
All eyes on the intruder, he had his head down as he panted harshly. But everyone knew who he was from the infamous shock blue hair.
Ulquiorra looked flatly at Grimmjow's tardiness. His expression changed when Grimmjow looked up and straighten.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaques was wearing a pair of glasses.
Ulquiorra didn't hear the teacher welcomed Grimmjow joyfully to the class and allowed him to take his seat. He couldn't take his eyes off of Grimmjow even as he walked past him to take his seat right beside him.
"... and looks like Ulquiorra here seems to agree too." The mentioning of his name awaken Ulquiorra from his (weird) daze. It was with great concentration and willpower that Ulquiorra only need few seconds to understand what the teacher was saying. Closing his eyes faced away from Grimmjow so he wouldn't get distracted by Grimmjow's new (intriguing) appearance, Ulquiorra replied, "Those who are late can't pick their own salvation."
Everyone was impressed and clapped at Ulquiorra's quote. Grimmjow could only grunted. With an annoyed voice, he led the class greeting, and flopped down when he sat down. Through the entire lesson, unknowingly to Grimmjow, Ulquiorra kept watch of him, to the point he forgot the questions he wished to ask.
「グリウル」
It was lunch break, Yylfort and Di Roy were already on the rooftop waiting for Grimmjow. They didn't have to wait longer when Grimmjow announced his arrival with a kick to the door.
"Oooo! Grimmjow, you made it- Eh?! Are those glasses?!" Di Roy immediately quipped at Grimmjow.
"Shut it." Grimmjow kicked Di Roy halfheartedly, Di Roy let out an exaggerated ow, and flopped down with his lunch. Yylfort whistled at Grimmjow's hoards.
"That's a lot, King. I don't mind helping you finish though." Grimmjow snarled at him.
"Touch any of my foods and I'll rip both your fucking arms off." Yylfort and Di Roy just chuckled at his threat.
"So what's up with the glasses? Oooh and it's tinted!" Di Roy stared at the slowly tinted glasses as he ate his bento.
"Don't have time to put on the lenses." Grimmjow explained curtly as he munched on his second yakisoba bread.
"Didn't know you got eye problem. You looked super different with them on. Looking very smart and wise."
"Or nerdy- OW!" That gave Di Roy another punch to his shoulder.
Grimmjow growled another threat if they kept talking shit about his glasses, Di Roy pouted, and Yylfort obeyed while laughed heartily. Then they shifted their conversation to things happening in their life until bell rang.

It was Japanese language and the teacher didn't come. But he gave an assignment to make a book report and put the assignment on his desk. The deadline is tomorrow morning before first period. Tardiness will not be forgiven. Signed Kuchiki Byakuya.
Grimmjow let out a groan. He had wished that at least one of his classes was free period. He was overjoyed when Ulquiorra wrote the first half of the announcement on the board, but unfortunately he celebrated a little too early when the rest of the announcement was written. He should have fucking known that Kuchiki wouldn't give his class just a free period.
He wanted to do the assignment later. He so wanted to procrastinate and just slept during the free period, but if he did so, a few hours of his project would have to be sacrificed. After letting out a long defeated sigh, Grimmjow lazily stood up and dragged his foot towards the library.
Grimmjow opened the library door and looked around. It was expectedly almost empty since it was still early in the afternoon, only the librarian and some students from his class were there. Grimmjow aimlessly walked around the bookshelves, skimming through the titles. After walking around with no books catching his interest, Grimmjow almost gave up when he read a title. Almost Transparent Blue. Ah! He heard of the book before. Grimmjow took the book of the shelves and read the synopsis. Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll. Grimmjow grinned. Perfect.
Grimmjow took the book and walked towards what he knew the most secluded corner of the library. When he arrived, his mood soured when he noticed someone sitting on his supposed spot. It was Ulquiorra. Grimmjow looked up at the ceiling and prayed for Ulquiorra to not comment on his glasses. He walked towards the table and sat down across Ulquiorra.
「グリウル」
Ulquiorra was immersed in the book he read. When he finished a chapter and lifted his head to wrote down the summary of the chapter and his thoughts that he finally notices he had a tablemate across him. With great self control, he didn't flinched, only widen his eyes in shock. His tablemate was Grimmjow. His initial shock only lasted for few seconds. Ulquiorra then studied Grimmjow.
With his head leaning on his fist and elbow on the table, his posture showed a bored person who just stared at the words instead of reading. But it was a lie, his brain supplied. The opened notebook on his side and the occasional noting - and amazed Ulquiorra that Grimmjow took notes without looking away from the book - what gave away his illusion of unenthusiastic student. Looking at Grimmjow's eyes from his perspective, Ulquiorra could see the way the blue eyes glide across the lines of words. Grimmjow Jaegerjaques was actually literally reading.
But what truly captured his attention the most was the glasses. That piece of accessory gave Grimmjow a new look that made his heart flutter. As he stared, he noticed that the glasses frames were navy blue with the nose bridge and the legs yellow almost gold in color. Ulquiorra for the life of him couldn't look away from the image in front of him. He kept staring dazedly as the ocean blue eyes moved across the page and then looked up and ahead.
...
Oh.
Grimmjow was looking at him with a raised eyebrow. Ulquiorra immediately looked down at his book, he denied the feeling of blood concentrated on his cheeks. Few seconds flew by in silence and Ulquiorra felt his cheeks getting hotter the longer Grimmjow stared at him. With his navy blue yellow glasses framed blue eyes. Ulquiorra hoped beyond hope that Grimmjow was oblivious of his flushing cheeks.
「グリウル」
Grimmjow was about to ask Ulquiorra what his problem was when Ulquiorra uncharacteristically avoided eye contact. The longer he stared, he noticed that Ulquiorra's cheeks slowly redden. With his pale complexion, it was quite obvious how red his cheeks slowly became. It was kinda interesting.
He stared silently - the blushing had come down to his neck - before suddenly Ulquiorra lifted his book, covering his face. Grimmjow grinned.
"Hey, what got you so shy like that, Ulquiorra?" Grimmjow leaned forward and tilted his head to get a look at Ulquiorra's red face.
"..." Ulquiorra only clutched his book tightly. Grimmjow chuckled.
"What? Were you enjoying the view? I won't mind being ogled at. I know I'm handsome."
"I wasn't -!" As Ulquiorra put down his book to denied his previous action, he stopped mid sentence when he noticed how close Grimmjow's face was. His face was on flame.
Grimmjow was startled when Ulquiorra stood up suddenly and hastily collect his stuffs before made a run. Unluckily for Ulquiorra, the only way out was to pass by Grimmjow and as he did that, Grimmjow warped an arm around his mid section and pulled him on his lap. When the world stopped moving, Grimmjow was grinning wolfishly down at him. Ulquiorra immediately thrashed trying in vain to remove Grimmjow's solid hold of him. Grimmjow cackled.
With a defeated groan, Ulquiorra covered his face with his hands. Grimmjow looked down lovingly at his rarely shy boyfriend.
"Gonna tell me what got you all red?" Ulquiorra shrunk into himself and mumbled an answer. "What? Can't hear you." Grimmjow asked.
"...asses."
"Asses? Well I got a fine ass." Ulquiorra shook his head in negative. "What then?"
"...glasses."
There was a few seconds of silence as Grimmjow processed the answer. Then the gears clicked in place. Grimmjow held down his laughter and opted for grinning widely.
"Well well, Ulquiorra. I didn't know you got a thing for glasses." With a low voice, Grimmjow continued, "Such naughty student." It was meant to be a jest, but Grimmjow astonishingly felt Ulquiorra shivered and hid his face on the side of his neck. Hands now clutching at Grimmjow's front uniform and the other on his hand holding Ulquorra's side.
Fuck, the reaction was very much a turn on. Grimmjow was so going to take advantage of this. Tonight. His project could wait another night.
