Getting home, Grimmjow had his steak while everyone else had something else. So it wasn't just you who thought that steak was more for dinner, then for breakfast and lunch.

After lunch, you and Tessai cleaned up, and were in charge of baby sitting Yachiru. There was times when Yachiru would get stuffy, and wanted to go out. It just so happened, today was one of those days.

"Mimi- chan, can we go to that pink store that Ichi took us?" Yachiru asked as she held your hand.
"Yeah sure." You answered with a smile. "You still with us Grimmjow!?" You called back behind you.

There was Grimmjow, following both you and Yacihru from a good distance. He was annoyed that he had to accompany you and Yachiru outside. But then again, it was his fault for waking you up early in the morning to cook a steak ...

"Yeah yeah! I'm still here." Grimmjow answered back with a scowl. "Damn woman." Grimmjow cursed under his breath. It wasn't fair to him that you used your kisses as a bribe against him.

It was a surprise that you were able to find the small store again. You weren't the greatest with directions.

"What the fuck is this?" Grimmjow cursed as he looked up at the white and pink building, the essense of 'girl' screaming off of it.
"It's a store for little girls. Yachiru wanted to come here." You explained with a smile.
"C'mon Mimi- chan!" Yachiru yelled excitedly as she ran into the store.
"You can stay outside if you want." You mentioned as you followed Yachiru in.

Grimmjow would have agreed to that offer, if he wasn't getting looks that suggested he was some pervert for standing outside a little girl's store.

"Fuck..." Grimmjow groaned as he went inside, screaming for you and Yachiru.

The lady at the cashier recognized you and Yachiru, who could forget a little girl with pink hair?

"Welcome." The lady said with a smile, as Yachiru ran right in. You smiled at the lady as you followed Yachiru, Grimmjow right behind you, holding your hand.

The lady at the cashier couldn't help but stare wide eyed. Why was it that you were surrounded by... unique beings? A girl with pink hair. A man with unatural feathers around his eyes. A boy with orange hair. A bald guy... . A gigantic man with spiked hair. And now, a young man with unnatural blue hair and eyebrows.

"Why the fuck is everything pink?" Grimmjow cussed in annoyance.
"Yachiru likes pink." You answered. "And I like pink too."
"We better not have a fuckin' kid that likes pink." Grimmjow cussed once more under his breath.

At that statement, you stopped mid- step, your eyes widened in surprise. Slowly you turned your head to face Grimmjow, the surprised expression still on your face.

"What?" Grimmjow answered, noticing your expression.
"Did you just mention 'us' having kids?" You asked rather slowly, hoping the topic would reach Grimmjow's ears without him giving you a stupid reaction.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He replied. Great... a stupid reaction.
"You said 'We better not have a kid that likes pink'." You restated.
"Yeah, we better not."
"So you're insisting that we have a kid?"
"No, I'm insisting that our kid better not like pink."
"That's besides the point!" You answered back in frustration. "You want us to have a kid?"
"I want a kid that doesn't like pink!"
"What if she likes pink!?"
"Then she takes after you!"
"What's wrong with pink?!"
"Reminds me of that fuckin' gay bait scientist." Grimmjow gritted.
"... That's it!?"
"Yeah!"

And the argument went on a little longer after...

Relief washed over Grimmjow after you had finally left the pink store. It felt like he was suffocating in flowers. Yes it was true that the espadas were all killed, and Aizen imprisoned. But in the end, Grimmjow was still an espada born of destruction. And pink was the complete opposite of destruction!

"Where the hell are we going now woman?" Grimmjow asked in annoyance. "I'm fuckin' hungry."
"Yachiru wants to see Jiro." You answered casually.
"What the fuck!? Why!?" Grimmjow yelled in annoyance.
"Why are you so mad?" You questioned back. "If you don't want to come, you can always go back to the shop."
"Fuck no." Grimmjow answered. There was no way in hell Grimmjow was going to allow you to go to his work, not without him.

"Roro- chan!" The loud yelling of a child's voice filled the store, causing Jiro to jump out of surprise. That was a name he hadn't heard for quite some time.
"Yachiru?" Jiro asked out of surprise as he looked towards the door. An even bigger surprise that he remembered Yachiru's name after not seeing her after the first time they met.

Yachiru ran right up to the counter, and sadly couldn't see over it, causing Jiro have to lean over and look at her.

"Look look! I brought Mimi- chan and Jowjow- chan!" Yachiru said happily as she pointed towards the door where you and Grimmjow had walked in.
"Jowjow- chan?" Jiro questioned as he looked up at Grimmjow, a small smile indicating a laugh rising to his face. Which Grimmjow instantly noticed, and growled, almost like he was about to pounce.

You peeked at Grimmjow through the corner of your eye, a small smile arising to your lips. And he says he's not a 'cat'.

"So uh, what are you guys doing here?" Jiro asked. "And I thought it was your day off Grimmjow."
"It is." Grimmjow mumbled. "Fuckin' brat wanted to come see you."
"Brat?" Jiro questioned, his eyes slowly moving towards you.
"I'm not the one he calls 'brat'." You answered as you pointed towards the ground, where Jiro's eyes followed, looking down at Yachiru.

"Oh, so you wanted to come see me?" Jiro asked with a smile. "That's really sweet of you."
"Yup!" Yachiru answered happily. "Mimi- chan said if I was good, then we can come and visit you."
"So I guess that means you were being a good girl then." Jiro answered, keeping the small child entertained.
"Yeah, I'm always a good girl!" Yachiru answered excitedly.

At that statement, you and Grimmjow simply looked at each other and sighed.

Time had passed by of just talking, hardly any customers came in, so it was alright. Yachiru and you waited at the front of the store, while Grimmjow had gone to the back to supposedly 'get something'.

"Grimmjow?" Daichi asked surprised as he and Kiyoshi had been working at the back the entire time. "I thought I gave you the week off."
"It is my fuckin' day off." Grimmjow answered tiredly, slightly aggravated. "Just needed to know something." He finished slightly calmly, as if he was unsure.
"Uhh, what is it?" Daichi asked, surprised once more of Grimmjow's calmness.

Silence followed for a moment as Grimmjow began to think things over, he was unsure if he wanted to ask these people for help for his situation. But they were the only ones that Grimmjow could trust with such a question, for help.

"What's..." Grimmjow said slowly, still unsure. "What's commitment?"
"Commitment?" Jiro asked confused. "As in, with someone?"
"Yeah."
"It's to stay with someone through the ups and downs in life." Jiro answered.
"What? What the fuck are you talking about?" Grimmjow asked annoyed. "What ups and downs!?"
"I think Jiro means that you stay together with someone even when you're fighting or argueing." Daichi explained. Which is a surprise since Daichi isn't really one to know much about relationships.
"Am I commited to that woman?" Grimmjow continued to ask.
"Uhh, you mean Kagami- san?" Daichi asked confused.
"Who the fuck you think I was thinking about?" Grimmjow growled in frustration
"I don't know!" Daichi answered confused. "It's hard to keep track of who you're dating when you call them all 'woman'!"

"Yes!"

Just as Grimmjow was about to retaliate back with a answer, the sound of someone saying 'Yes' filled the room, and everyone became quiet. The 3 men in the room all turned their heads to Kiyoshi, a small smile on his shy face.

"Yes?" Grimmjow asked confused. "What the fuck?"
"Yes." Kiyoshi said once more.
"I think he's answering your question Grimmjow." Jiro mentioned. "I think he's saying that you are commited to Kagami- chan."

Silence followed again as Grimmjow thought of the right words to say. But in reality, there really was none. The question was simple and blunt, and he needed an answer.

"How do I..." Grimmjow started, his eyebrows furrowing together in annoyance. "How do I ask Kagami to marry me?"

"WHAT!?"

Was all you and Yachiru had heard from the back room as the 2 of you sorted through games.

"Oh my, they're getting pretty loud back there." Michio said with a sigh as he managed the cash register.
"Why aren't you back there?" Kagami casually asked.
"Someone has to watch the store." Michio shrugged.
"Grimmjow said he's probably going to fire you when he comes back from his week off." Katsumi then suddenly said.
"What?!" Michio yelled back in surprise, he couldn't believe what he just heard.
"I'm kidding." You yen said playfully as you casually flailed a hand at him to dismiss the previous comment. But by then... Michio was already tearing up.
"... I said I was joking."

"Would you fuckin' idiots shut the hell up!?" Grimmjow yelled in annoyance. He didn't want anyone outside to hear, namely you.
"Are you asking us how to propose to Kagami- san!?" Daichi blurted out still in shock.
"No, I'm asking how to ask her to marry me!" Grimmjow answered, still frustrated as ever.
"That's what 'propose' is Grimmjow..." Jiro explained.
"Whatever! Just tell me how to do it!"
"Well, did you get a ring?"
"What ring?" Grimmjow asked highly confused now.
"Usually males propose to their significant halves with a ring." Jiro explained. "And if she says yes, the ring means that that person is with someone."
"Then I'll go get a ring." Grimmjow said as he got up from the chair to leave.
"Grimmjow, it can't be just any ring!" Jiro continued.
"What? Why not?"
"Proposal is something special, it can't be just any ring." Jiro continued to explain. "You have to give it sentimental value."
"So getting a ring from the 99 cents store doesn't count." Daichi finished.
"Why the fuck not?" Grimmjow asked aggravated.
"Do you want Kagami- chan to marry you or not?" Jiro sighed.
"Fuck yes!" Grimmjow answered.
"Then get her a nice ring!" Jiro and Daichi explained once more, causing Grimmjow to growl in more frustration and walk out of the room.

"Finally." You said under your breath as you heard footsteps heading towards you.
"Let's go." Grimmjow said as he shoved his hands in his pockets, heading towards the door in a crappy mood.
"Wait, did you get what you were looking for?" You asked as you grabbed Yachiru and headed towards the door as well.
"Yeah."
"Oh, ok." You answered as you turned back around. "Hey Michio, tell the others we say 'bye'. And lighten up, I was joking." You said with a smile, and left, dragging Yachiru behind you.

Heading home, Grimmjow was grumpy the entire time. A scowl dominated his face, and there was a reason for such. It wasn't about the ring, or the fact that he had to ask others for help. What bothered him was the fact when he goes to sleep tonight, he would only have 2 days left with you.

End.
