Ulquiorra spent another long moment looking up at him, seeming unsure of what to do in the situation, before carefully resting a hand on Grimmjow's warm side.

Grimmjow smiled as he felt a hand on his side. He relaxed further and let his eyes close completely, his lips releasing a pleased sound.

When Grimmjow woke up, he found Ulquiorra curled up close to his chest, having snugged closer subconsciously in his sleep. His lips were pared slightly, dark hair sticking to his forehead with sweat from the night before.

Another small smile played at his lips as he examined the man curled up to him. His arms were tightly holding the small waist and their legs seemed to be a bit intertwined. He chuckled lightly and untangled them, making sure he didn't wake the sleeping man.

Satisfied that he did in fact manage to untangle himself without waking his partner, he watched the pale man. His fingers brushed through the dark locks, and he instinctively kissed the mans forehead.

Realizing what he had just done, he quickly stood again and rushed into the bathroom. Not only id he need to clean himself, but he needed some time to think, as strange as the idea really was.

The sound of the shower running woke Ulquiorra, and he immediately sat up, the fast motion making him dizzy. He scratched his head, cringing as he felt the bite mark on his shoulder twinge. He flushed slightly as he realized his backside hurt even more.

Standing and crossing the room to his dresser, he pulled out a black pair of sweatpants and thermal shirt, returning to sit on the bed after he was dressed. He drew his knees to his chest, staring fixedly at the bathroom door.

Realizing that he had completely forgotten to bring his clothes into the bathroom with him, Grimmjow sighed and wrapped a towel around his hips. Making sure it was secure, he opened the door, only to find the previously sleeping man awake and staring intently at him.

"What?" He asked, a small blush appearing on his cheeks. All the thinking that he had done in the shower seemed to confuse the blue haired man even more, and now being stared at simply brought back the jumble of something back up, making him feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Who said you could use my shower?" he asked, voice disappointingly back to the deadpan it was usually at.

Chuckling, Grimmjow rolled his eyes and looked around the room, trying to find where the hell his pants ended up. He was going to miss the emotional Ulquiorra, but then again, if he played his cards right, he might be able to do being him back on a regular basis.

"I dunno 'bout you. but I dun like smelling like shit." He deadpanned right back, sparing a glance at the pale man before finding his pants. Used to changing in front of others, the blue haired man took off his towel and put on his pants.

Ulquiorra's eyes raked up Grimmjow's legs, lingered on his backside, and swept up his back as the fabric of his pants covered it.

"Do you intend to shower and leave?" he asked pointedly.

Somewhat awkwardly, Grimmjow straightened and looked back at Ulquiorra.

"I, errr..."The blue haired man began, "Not really. I mean..." He scratched the back of his head, "I can if you want me to..."he finished lamely, looking at the ground.

"I would rather you didn't." Ulquiorra looked away. "It just seems the standard."

Grimmjow let out a breath of relief that he wasn't aware he was holding, as he heard the words leave the pale lips. It was good to know that they were somewhat on the same page. He let a small smile grace his features, he seemed to be doing that a lot lately, and he laid back down on the bed.

He thought he could see the ghost of a smile on Ulquiorra's face, but it disappeared before it could truly be determined as a smile.

"You said we would talk today."

Grimmjow grunted and looked at the pale man.

"Whada 'ya talk about?" He asked.

"Why we did that." Ulquiorra stood, crossing to the window and opening the blinds. The street was bare for a Saturday morning; no children, no cars, no pedestrians. It seemed fitting. "What we're going to do now."

"I did that 'cuz I wanted ta'." He replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Blue eyes followed the pale man as he moved around his room.

"If only it were that simple." Ulquiorra refused to look at Grimmjow, knowing he would lose at least some resolve if he did.

Grimmjow wearily sat up and carefully watched Ulquiorra.

"What?"

"...I refuse to let you continue to use me for your sexual satisfaction," Ulquiorra said slowly, still pointedly staring out onto the empty street. He knew where this was going. It had been a stupid idea to let himself get a taste of Grimmjow when he knew nothing would ever come of it.

"What?" Grimmjow asked, his voice rising an octave. His jaw slackened and he simply gaped at the man. Did he really think that all of that was because..... because he wanted the sex?

The blue haired man stood up and walked over to the shorter man, grabbing his face rather forcefully. He would be damned if he let Ulquiorra think that was all he was doing. He might have been that way before but this, this was different. he had decided that in the shower. It wasn't just a random fuck. While the thought scared him shitless, he wouldn't deny it to himself.

"'s that really what ya' think?" He asked, his voice low as he tried to hide the twinge of hurt.

"You've yet to prove otherwise," Ulquiorra said flatly, staring up at Grimmjow.

"I have no idea what you want." He replied, a bit exasperated.

"...I don't, either." Ulquiorra admitted. "...I'm... not sure what my feelings mean."

"Then figure out what you want before demanding things from me." He replied, his voice returning back to normal. He knew he cared for the man, he could remember the feeling in his gut every time others bullied Ulquiorra and how he always found a way to stop it. He could remember the sick satisfaction when he got a second look from the bright emeralds, or any look at all quite frankly.

The blue haired man sighed deeply and stared at his companion. He wasn't planing on telling anyone that (let alone Ulquiorra), for if anyone found out... If Ulquiorra found out and didn't feel the same... that could cause problems.

"I think... I am figuring it out," Ulquiorra said slowly, his eyes not leaving Grimmjow's as if he was having an epiphany at that very moment. He brought Grimmjow's face down to kiss him.
