You awoke with a small headache. Pressing a hand against your forehead, you slowly got up. You had struggled a bit to stand, but somehow made your way to the other room, only to find it empty. It must be late, and Grimmjow gone, good. You grabbed some clothes and went off to shower, annoyed with the smell of alcohol on you.

When you had finished and went downstairs, it looked like everyone had gone and started doing their own thing.

"It's almost lunch time." You said with annoyance, knowing fully well that you had clearly passed out last night, causing Zaraki to take care of you. The guy must be tired, good. He won't see your outfit of the day: A simple black frilled layered skirt, along with a white halter top.

A note was left by Tessai on the kitchen table, he had asked you to prepare lunch since he was busy with managing the shop today along with Urahara. With Hisagi and Kira here, Urahara and Tessai had to help with the explanation of their gigais and gikon, and Jinta and Ururu were on their usual duty of cleaning the store. So you were stuck with the task of cooking lunch for everyone.

"P.S. Pack lunch for Grimmjow and deliver. - Tessai." The note finished.

"You're joking." You answered tiredly, your head still hurting. But you figured since you were staying there for free, might as well help around. Even if Urahara claimed you as his guest.

With Yumichika's help, you were close to finishing lunch. So quickly, you packed a bento box lunch for Grimmjow, and left. You could careless if the bento was cold by the time Grimmjow got it, he deserved it. But you did want to be back by the time Yumichika served lunch.

So quickly, you made your way to the game shop. Now if only you could remember how you got there...

It was a rather busy day today, with a new game just been released, the shop was slowing filling up. Daichi and Kiyoshi were managing the cashier, while Jiro was getting more stock of the new game at the back. Grimmjow was in the office, as usual, trying to finish his paper work from yesterday, but was currently distracted with the same girl he had left last night.

"It sounds busy out there." The girl said as she looked at the door in worry.
"They can fuckin' handle it." Grimmjow replied, annoyed her attention was no longer on him.
"Well I better get going, I distracted you from your work long enough." The girl exclaimed, getting up from Grimmjow's lap. "Oh, and I made you lunch." The girl said as she reached into her bag and pulled out a bento box for him.
"Thanks Hana." Grimmjow answered, taking the bento from the girl. Success! He remembered her name. Well, more like snooped in her bag for her ID when she had gone to the bathroom. But whatever, she didn't need to know that.

You slowly entered the store to be surprised by the amount of people that was inside. It wasn't a lot... but it was more then yesterday. Yesterday there was zero people.

Looking around, you found the so called 'Roro- chan' placing two boxes near the front, where his other two companions were standing. You never did get their names.

Quickly, you made your way to Jiro, only for him to notice you.
"Oh, it's you." Jiro said with a smile. "You're Yachiru's friend. What can I do for you?" Jiro asked with a smile.
"Well I was asked to deliver this to Grimmjow." You answered as you handed Jiro a box that was wrapped with a pink hankerchief.
"Oh, well you can give it to him if you want." Jiro said, taking the box you had forced on him. "He's just in the office."
"No it's alright. He's busy." You said with a smile once more.
"Oh, alright then."
"Thank you very much." You said with a smile, and quickly left the store to get home for lunch.

Grimmjow escorted Hana out of his office with a smile, happy he had once again gotten food.

"Tonight again?" Hana asked with an innocent smile.
"Tonight again babe." Grimmjow replied with a smirk, placing his lips against Hana's.

As Grimmjow released the girl's lips, he saw a familiar figure run out the door, waving at his co- workers as she did. Grimmjow growled. You come to the place where he works, but neglect to even go and visit him? Rude! Guess you weren't joking when you said you were going to come back to visit Jiro. But Grimmjow swore Jiro was gay or something...

"Bye Grimmjow." Hana said with a smile, then weaved her way through the crowd of kids, and left as well.

"Oh, Grimmjow. Your so called 'woman' delivered this for you." Jiro said as he handed Grimmjow the box wrapped in a pink handkerchief. Pink, Grimmjow hated pink. His favourite colour is blue, why didn't anyone grasp the fact that his favourite colour is BLUE!?

"What the fuck is it?" Grimmjow asked annoyed at the pink handkerchief.
"Probably a bento." Jiro answered as he took a stack of games out of the boxes.
"And who the hell is it from?" Grimmjow asked, apparently not listening the first time.
"Your 'woman' as you called her."
"Kagami?" Grimmjow asked surprised.
"Uhh, if this Kagami chick is the same girl who answers to the name 'Mimi- chan', then yeah." Jiro answered, realizing he never really did get your name. He noted that he should probably introduce himself to you next time.

Grimmjow stared at the bento box for a moment, before going into his office, and returning with a completely different box.

"Here." Grimmjow said as he placed the bento box on the cashier table. "You guys can have it."
"Grimmjow!" Jiro scolded. "Is that the bento that Kagami gave you?"
"No!" Grimmjow answered annoyed. "This is the other girl's bento. There's no way you shit heads are getting the one from Kagami."
"Grimmjow you can't jus-" Jiro began to say, trying to explain to Grimmjow that you can't just give gifts away like so. But Grimmjow ignored Jiro and went back into his office. He stared at the bento for awhile, before removing the handkerchief. It smelled like you. Opening the bento boxes, there was one box filled with rice, and another filled with everything else.

Having his lunch earlier then expected, Grimmjow finished the bento fairly quickly. Grimmjow hadn't enjoyed such a great meal in a long time, he obviously missed your cooking. Your cooking wasn't as great as Tessai's, but Grimmjow thought it was. It was this small sign of affection, making someone a home made lunch and even taking the time to deliver it, that got Grimmjow's hopes up. Grimmjow had come to learn that people that brought other people bentos, used it as a sign of affection.

Grimmjow had thought of going home for lunch to eat more, he wanted to taste more of your cooking. A small bento box wasn't enough, even if there was two. Then again, he still had a lot of paper work to do, the store was busy, and Daichi is still the boss, even if it seems like Grimmjow is.

Frustrated with his thoughts, Grimmjow decided to go back to his paper work. Cause if he doesn't get his work done, the store could possibly fail to sell anything. If that happens, then Grimmjow won't get payed. If he doesn't get payed, then he's screwed. After all, he's still paying rent at the Urahara store, even if he doesn't stay there much. On top of all that, he still enjoyed his late night outings.

But ever since you had come back, he had been thinking about of somehow repaying you back all of a sudden, especially for the bento and the incident today. Grimmjow wanted to buy you something, something that would claim you as his and off limits to all other males... and females. Grimmjow wanted everyone to know that you were his, but what could he possibly give you to show that you were with someone already?

"Yo Jiro." Grimmjow called. With Grimmjow being frustrated and all, he didn't seem to notice that so much time has passed, and that the crowd of kids had died down dramatically.

"Yes?" Jiro asked, straightening things up while Kiyoshi sweeped, and Daichi counted today's profits as well as stock.
"I got a question for you." Grimmjow said harshly, meaning business. Jiro should be able to help right?
"Uhh, ok. What is it?" Jiro answered, stopping what he was doing immediately to pay attention.
"I want to get my woman something." Grimmjow explained. "Something that will claim her as mine and mine alone."
"Grimmjow..." Jiro said slowly. "She's not a dog, you can't claim ownership of her."
"Unless you're married." Daichi piped in.
"Married?" Grimmjow asked, he never thought of asking you to marry him. Indeed it was true that by him asking you to marry him would mean that you were his and his alone. But that also meant he couldn't have his nights of fun as well.

"Marriage requires commitment..." Jiro answered. "And Grimmjow doesn't seem to have any of that." Jiro finished off mumbling.
"What the fuck did you say?" Grimmjow asked pissed off, actually hearing what Jiro said.
"Ehh... What I mean is... Well it's just that... I mean you have Kagami... Then there's the other..." Jiro stuttered out, not a single one of his sentences being completed.
"What the fuck is this 'commitment' shit about anyways?" Grimmjow asked annoyed.
"Commitment is..." Jiro said, trying to figure out a way to explain the word in the situation he was in.
"Well it's... umm..." Daichi tried to help.
"To be dedicated to one thing, or person." Kiyoshi answered, which is a surprise since he barely says a word.
"Yeah, that's it." Jiro agreed. "If Kagami is indeed your woman, to be committed to her, you shouldn't cheat on her."
"I'm not cheating on her." Grimmjow answered plainly.
"Then what are you doing with that other girl?" Daichi asked confused now.
"I'm fucking her, what else?" Grimmjow answered once more.

All three employees had hanged their in head in defeat, explaining what 'commitment' is to Grimmjow, was going to be hard.

"That's considered cheating Grimmjow." Jiro explained with a sigh. "If you're with 'Mimi- chan', you can't just go and have sex with other women. That would mean you're cheating on her."

Grimmjow growled at this explanation.

"So you're saying I can't have sex with any other women, but Kagami?!" Grimmjow asked annoyed now, especially since you were always getting mad when he DID try to have sex with you.
"Umm... basically..." Jiro answered nervously, not wanting to be the target of Grimmjow's rage.
"So what the hell do I get her then?" Grimmjow asked, tired of the whole 'commitment' lecture.
"Well, you can get her chocolate and flowers." Jiro suggested. "Girls usually like that."
"Tch. Fine then." Grimmjow answered and walked back into his office.

"Here." Grimmjow said annoyed as he placed several folders on the cashier table for Daichi to see. "I'm done, so I'm going now." Grimmjow announced as he headed towards the door.
"Where you going Grimmjow? Your shift isn't over yet!" Daichi called out.
"I'm buying my fuckin' woman chocolate and flowers!" Grimmjow yelled back as he left the store with a scowl.
"Aww, he's taking your advice Jiro." Daichi said with an pleasant smile.
"Yeah. Now he has to learn to start calling her by name." Jiro said with a sigh as he looked at the clock. Grimmjow had left 4 hours earlier today, and it was his turn to close up the shop. Oh well, he was going to be forgiven anyways. Him taking their advice, was technically the first time he was actually friendly to them.

End.
