( no, he is not going to get off the bed. this is his bed right now.

usually, ichigo doesn't put up much of a fight when grimmjow wants to take over his bed. he just relinquishes and finds somewhere else in the room to rest, so imagine his fucking surprise when he feels the mattress sink and the weight of someone's arm draped across his chest.

his eyes immediately opens wide as he turns his head to stare at the boy. )

What're you doing? ( this isn't how it's supposed to go??? )

[zangetsu]

Sleeping.

（ comes the affirmative grunt. sleeping, or trying to.

notably, he does not move. ）

[arrancar]

( he narrows his eyes at him. )

I can see that, but why're you sleeping here?

[zangetsu]

Because it's my bed. Don't be an asshole.

（ sure, normally he throws his hands up in exasperation and just leaves to go find something else. there's a bean-bag in the corner that's served him well enough and he only wakes a little stiff in the mornings.

but right now? it's nice. even the nearness feels nice, and even though he can rationally understand it's probably those fucking nuts, he's so... drifty-dreamy about it he can't bring himself to care. ）

( IT'S THOSE NUTS, ISN'T IT?

they finally got to the boy. he knew it would happen. (he didn't.) lifting a hand to pinch at the bridge of his nose for a long moment, a frown creases his brows as he considers his next course of action. he could just kick him off of the bed, but—

who knew what a clingy kurosaki could do?

plus, grimmjow... admittedly isn't as bothered by the additional warmth at his side as he thought he would be. it's still foreign and weird, but not awful. )

Fine. You can sleep here. ( don't ever call him ungenerous. ) Just don't go overboard.

[zangetsu]

Thanks for your permission, Six.

（ there's no derision to the title the way there might be with someone who saw it as a putdown. ichigo doesn't. grimmjow's always been proud of it, and no matter how strong he's gotten he hasn't forgotten the role the arrancar played in that, either.

after a moment: ）

Why don't you ever go back to your weirdass room, anyway? What is it, Hueco Mundo?
