Bleach: Ichigo/Grimmjow, Themeset Gamma
[01] Ring
When Grimmjow slides the ring onto Ichigo’s finger, joining them for life, his kiss is surprisingly gentle, and a flushed Ichigo finds himself reluctantly forgiving the arrancar for making him wear the fluffy white bridal gown (that is, until, a smutty smirk crosses Grimmjow’s face and, wrapping his arms around Ichigo’s waist, he proceeds bend poor Ichigo backwards and brutally ravish his lips in front of Ichigo’s stunned family and friends).
[02] Hero
Grimmjow is the only person in Ichigo’s life who is strong enough to protect him, able to sweep him off his feet and carry him out of danger, and for the first time in his life Ichigo finds that he doesn’t have to play the hero.
[03] Memory
When Ichigo wakes up on his bed, where he had fainted the night before, Grimmjow is gone, and last night is just a blur of gleaming sapphire eyes, overwhelming pleasure, muffled sobs and cries of ecstasy, but Ichigo can remember one thing clearly: Grimmjow, thrusting hard into his shaking body, teeth gritted as though in pain, suddenly hissing quietly in Ichigo’s ear, in a choked, almost inaudible voice, “I love you.”
[04] Box
Ichigo can feel panic rising in his throat as he shoves frantically at the locked closet door; no, it wasn’t claustrophobia, just the sudden realization that he was trapped in a small space with a horny arrancar.
[05] Run
Grimmjow, snarling at Orihime’s timid footsteps, tucks the frightened girl under his arm and runs, because he knows that Ichigo’s broken body is bleeding to death somewhere in the vast palace of Hueco Mundo, and he has to find him before it’s too late.
[06] Hurricane
Surprisingly enough, Grimmjow was never the jealous type; sadistic and spiteful, maybe, but never jealous, and so everyone was surprised when one day he was swept away in a massive storm of possessive envy and actually ended up firing a grand rey cero at a certain orange-haired woman who had been looking at Ichigo for too long.
(This was during episode 166 xD all his attacks seemed to be randomly aimed at her, ne?)
[07] Wings
The two of them are walking through square just littered with flocks of pigeons when a car backfires and all the birds suddenly take flight; for a moment, the noisy flapping of wings drown out all sound and the numerous gray bodies of the pigeons obscure everything, but despite the chaos, Grimmjow never steps back or lets go of Ichigo’s hand, and when the birds are finally all gone, Ichigo turns his head and sees the arrancar still standing next to him, looking quite unruffled, and he knows that this is the way it’ll always be.
(it's a parallel! is it confusing?)
[08] Cold
It’s snowing heavily as Ichigo waits at the bus stop, so cold that his breath is visible every time he exales, but when the lean arrancar standing next to him gives him a naughty sidelong glance and gives his hand a gentle squeeze, Ichigo finds that he isn’t really cold at all.
[09] Red
Ulquiorra’s normally blank emerald eyes hold a spark of triumph as he swings his blade towards the unarmed shinigami, but just before the blade can pierce Ichigo’s heart, Grimmjow steps in front of Ichigo and blood splashes the floor; Grimmjow doesn’t make a sound, but Ichigo’s cry of horror echoes off the walls of the palace.
[10] Drink
Grimmjow leaps up with fright, spilling his drink as Ichigo plasters himself to the arrancar, declaring, “I wuuuuve you Grimmjow,” and Renji, howling with laugher, finally pulls himself together enough to explain to Grimmjow that Ichigo’s a happy drunk (Renji’s amusement is short lived, however, because a moment later he is tackled and molested on the dance floor by his captain, who happens to be a horny drunk).
[11] Midnight
Grimmjow always visited Ichigo at midnight, appearing out of nowhere and looking for all the world like a naughty angel, but Ichigo had once read that midnight was the hour when demons, ghosts, and devils of all sorts appeared, and was therefore not fooled.
[12] Temptation
Ichigo bit his lip hard, and vowed with all his might that no matter how deliciously tempting Grimmjow might look, (sitting at the table absently munching on a piece of toast, his blue eyes still lazy with sleep and his hair still wet and messy from their shower together) that he was not going to jump him, and they were not going to have sex on the dinner table, because that was where his family ate, and that was just dirty.
[13] View
Ichigo’s face is burning with embarrassment, and he curses Grimmjow and his stupid kinky ideas as he pants breathlessly, his fingers delving and stroking as he works himself to completion, conscious of the arrancar’s heated eyes boring into him as he writhes and gasps on the bed.
[14] Music
Ishida gloats about being able to play the piano and Ulquiorra once revealed his affinity for the violin, but Ichigo and Grimmjow both know that the whisper of a sword through the air is the only melody they’ll ever need.
[15] Silk
Ichigo’s wrists strain against the silk that ties him to the bed post, and he arches helplessly as the smirking Grimmjow does unspeakably dirty things to him, panting helplessly as he yanks fruitlessly at the unyielding material.
[16] Cover
Ichigo bolts up in bed, panting, and a moment later, is thrashing around in a bone-melting climax; when he’s done, he yanks away his covers angrily, revealing a grinning Grimmjow.
[17] Promise
“G-grimmjow…y-you bastard, you’ve got be kidding me…no…Grimmjow…just open your eyes, you bastard, open your eyes…you promised you’d always stay with me!”
[18] Dream
Ichigo dreams of tumbling babies, with strawberry blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, and is crestfallen for a moment when he awakes, until he remembers Urahara’s sly wink and the former scientist’s promise of help.
[19] Candle
All Grimmjow can remember since he entered Hueco Mundo is darkness, but that was before he met Ichigo; from the start, the scowling orange-haired teen became his sole source of light, his only source of warmth, and he knew from the start that though it might burn him, he would never be able to pull himself away.
[20] Talent
In all fairness, all Grimmjow did was lick his lips absentmindedly, but one look at Grimmow’s tongue brings back all the memories of the previous night and all the things that tongue could do, and so Rukia looks on in confusion as Ichigo suddenly leaps towards Grimmjow and starts beating the surprised arrancar around the head.
[21] Silence
The male species prides itself on a lack of excessive sentiment, and once upon a time, Ichigo decided that the reason that why he scarcely exchanged tender words with Grimmjow was that it would’ve embarrassed them both; however, in the end, Ichigo realized that it wasn’t pride that kept him silent, but the fact that despite hours of thought and many sleepless nights, he still has not found any words that sufficiently describe the depth of his feelings for the Arrancar.
[22] Journey
“I’m going to Hueco Mundo to rescue Orihime,” says Ichigo, but in his subconscious he knew that he was undertaking the journey in hopes of seeing Grimmjow again.
[23] Fire
Although he still bore the scars of their previous fights, Grimmjow challenged Ichigo again and again, not because he liked fighting, as he had claimed, but because those battles were the only times that the fire in Ichigo’s eyes burned for him and him alone.
[24] Strength
Grimmjow watches as Ichigo attempts to shoulder the burdens of others, even as he is already bent double with the weight of his own, and reflects that as strong as the boy is, Ichigo might just break if he keeps this up.
[25] Mask
Grimmjow thinks he’s dreaming, wishes that he’s hallucinating, when he looks at the shinigami and can’t find a trace of that determined face, those fierce brown eyes under the hollow mask, and he wonders if he pushed the boy too far.
[26] Ice
Ichigo’s heart freezes over in a coat of ice when Yamamoto declares that all arrancar who survived the fall of Aizen will be executed; he leaps to his feet, ignoring Grimmjow’s surprised glance and Yamamoto’s furious glare, and shouts at the old man, “I will fight you in this.”
[27] Fall
Grimmjow was meant to be his enemy, but Ichigo lost the fight to convince himself of that the moment he looked into Grimmjow’s eyes; they were lovely, unlike any shade of blue he had ever seen, and no matter how Ichigo struggled, he only fell deeper and deeper into those eyes with every glance.
[28] Forgotten
After training with the Vizards for a month, Ichigo, determined and confident, searched the skies for Grimmjow; he had forgotten, however, how one look from those proud blue eyes could make his heartbeat quicken, how just one smirk could reduce his legs to putty, and his faulty memory almost got him killed.
[29] Dance
Steel clashed on steel as the two blades collided, and the two figures streaked through the nighttime sky, locked in a deadly dance; this was their courtship, where sentiment was replaced by an adrenaline rush, where the steps were not learned but created.
[30] Body
Sometimes, after he sees Ichigo fight a particularly bloody, painful battle, Grimmjow decides that he needs to show the teen how to treat his body better, and so he’ll tie Ichigo to the bed and wickedly, meticulously, soothes and caresses every part of the boy’s body with his hands and then his tongue, and he never penetrates but he never stops before Ichigo climaxes at least twice, no matter how hard the shinigami begs.
[31] Sacred
Ichigo works his way down Grimmjow’s body, tenderly, sweetly, and for once, Grimmjow, propped up on his elbows, is unsure of how to react; no one’s ever treated him like this before.
[32] Farewells
Grimmjow pauses at the window and says, with a half smirk, “Until next time, shinigami,” and Ichigo props himself up on the bed and retorts, “Next time, don’t open the fucking gargunta in my room,” but this casual goodbye cannot hide the uncharacteristic longing in both of their eyes, and Ichigo knows that they’re both waiting for the day when they don’t have to say farewell.
[33] World
“I’ll give you the world,” Grimmjow says seriously, and Ichigo only snorts amusedly and shoves his lover, but as he opens his Christmas present from the arrancar the next day, his breath catches in his throat, because Grimmjow has given him a small globe, marked all over with red dots to signify the all the places they’ll visit together (he didn’t know Grimmjow could be this romantic).
[34] Formal
Isshin’s bulging eyes take in Grimmjow’s tattoos, his expression of bored contempt, his undeniably tall, lithe, male form, and Ichigo has to plug up his ears as his father’s anguished shriek rolls across the room.
[35] Fever
Ichigo sits on his bed, amused but gentle, running his fingers through Grimmjow’s damp hair as the arrancar, looking pitiful and diminished in his feverish state, curls up on his lap.
[36] Laugh
Grimmjow, Ichigo reflects, always seems amused in some way - he cackles like a maniac when he’s fighting, snickers meanly when he’s teasing, and roars when he’s genuinely entertained; however, Ichigo’s personal favorite is hearing Grimmjow laugh when they’re curled up together talking, because he’s never more content than when he can just lie with his back against Grimmjow’s chest, feeling the arrancar’s amusement roll through both of them like waves.
[37] Lies
Grimmjow snapped, “I don’t love you,” and Ichigo had to laugh, because Grimmjow’s ears always turned red when he lied.
[38] Forever
Standing together in front of Aizen, side by side, they look at each other, and without a word, promise each other an eternity; that they might fight together, live together, share every cut, every moment of pain and pleasure, sorrow and joy, now and forever, and that one day, no matter how soon it might be, whether it be just ten minutes away or seven decades, that they might die together, comforted by the fact that they would never have to live a second without the other one there, and so they charge at Aizen, together, without a single shred of hesitation or a wasted word.
[39] Overwhelmed
Ichigo struggles to fend off Grimmjow’s hands, his body still trembling from his climax, but the arrancar ignores him, and, skillfully pinning Ichigo’s hands above his head, continues to molest the teen’s shaking body.
[40] Whisper
In response to Ichigo’s frantic, whispered protests, Grimmjow hissed, with a few sadistic, hard, and well-placed thrusts, that he didn’t care if Ichigo’s sisters were in the house and that his family was asleep, and if Ichigo didn’t want to wake them then he would have to be more quiet.
[41] Wait
Unclenching his hands from the bedsheets, Ichigo frantically pushes himself up from the bed, panting and gripping at Grimmjow’s forearms, “I’m fine, I’m fine, just don’t move ye-AHHH!”
[42] Talk
Grimmjow seldom looks at Ichigo when Ichigo’s talking, whether they’re in a park or sitting facing each other in a café, but that’s just how Grimmjow is; Ichigo knows that he’s listening.
[43] Search
Unohana stands helplessly by the bed, watching Ichigo, as the shinigami grasps Grimmjow’s lifeless hand, brown eyes desperately searching the comatose arrancar’s face for any sign of life, and Unohana, who has been in this hospital for thousands of years, has seen patients die and learned to feel pity but not sorrow, can’t help but feel her eyes well up as tears drip down Ichigo’s face and he whispers, “Don’t leave me, idiot.”
[44] Hope (cont.)
One day, months later, Ichigo falls asleep next to Grimmjow’s bed during one of his frequent visits, and when he wakes up, Grimmjow’s staring at him with those beautiful eyes that Ichigo thought he’d never see open again, and Ichigo has never cried so hard in his life.
[45] Eclipse
The heavy ache from his gaping wounds, however painful, was completely eclipsed by the tearing agony that consumed him as he saw the Ichigo take Inoue’s hand; Grimmjow didn’t believe in giving up, but he hadn’t realized he could hurt like this, and so, digging his claws deep into the gashes on his chest, he closed his eyes and willed himself to die.
[46] Gravity
Ichigo was sure that there was no natural attraction between himself and Grimmjow; he’d be in trouble if he had naturally fallen in love with a blue-haired, arrogant, (tremendously supersexyhot) hollow…
[47] Highway
Eyes squeezed shut and arms wound tightly around Grimmjow’s waist, Ichigo reflects that he really should have known that Grimmjow in his human form would choose a motorcycle over a car, and speed on it too.
[48] Unknown
Ichigo was always under the impression that his body wasn’t particularly sensitive, but somehow, from the start, Grimmjow seemed to know every pleasure point on Ichigo’s body (areas Ichigo hadn’t even known existed), and Grimmjow always exploited them until the teen was trembling and helpless in his arms.
[49] Lock
Grimmjow has the most gorgeous fingers Ichigo had ever seen, long, slender, and strong; his fingers always look elegant, whether they’re wrapped around Pantera’s hilt or entwined and locked together with Ichigo’s fingers.
(He totally does - check ep. 166 when he’s releasing Pantera)
[50] Breathe
Grimmjow devours Ichigo with hot, hungry kisses, and Ichigo melts helplessly into his arms, but when Grimmjow kisses Ichigo gently, long fingers tangled in Ichigo’s bright hair, sucking softly on his lower lip, it’s only then that Ichigo is truly left breathless.
