Batty Brunch

"Yes of course, please come in John."

With the affirmative given you enter the spacious library like room you had been in the day before, your mind still in awe and wonder at the sheer amount of books that are present in the room. Sure enough, the moment you walk into the room you find Ulquiorra is seated at the small table just like the previous day, and similar to the previous day she has a small cup of set before her alongside a plate of small cakes and finger sandwiches. However, unlike yesterday there are only two placements at the table, a spot for her and a spot for you right beside the pale skinned beauty, "A pleasure as always Ulqui-chan, how are you?"

Ulquiorra blushes deeply at your nickname, her chalk white skin darkening to a rose red hue as she speaks, "I am quite well, please take a seat." You chuckle inwardly at Ulquiorra's none too subtle motion towards the seat by her side, her face darkening a slight bit more as you gracefully take the chair beside her, "How are you this morning John?"

You offer a soft smile to Ulquiorra as she takes the initiative and pours you a small cup of tea, "Another day in paradise."

Ulquiorra's mouth twitches upwards into a slight smile as she giggles softly, "So I heard from Ms. Nel...she seems to be even more cheerful today than usual."

Blushing a bit you scratch the back of your head, your soft laughter joining Ulquiorra's own as you take a small sip of tea, "Well, I did promise to do whatever it takes to bring you all happiness." Ulquiorra raises her eyebrow and gives you an odd look, something that you return with a small smirk and a wink of your eye, "I wouldn't want to become a liar now would I?"

The implications send another blush through the pale girls face, her eyes turning away from yours shyly as she contemplates the cup of tea in her hands, "Ahem...well, in any case I would like to thank you for joining me for tea."

Your kind smile returns as you take another small sip of the fantastically aromatic tea, "Oh no, I should thank you...especially for the unique invitation. It was rather...well received shall we say?"

Ulquiorra now has an eyebrow quirked as she turns to you with a curious gaze, "What do you mean John?"

You offer up a playful smirk, your voice slightly melodic as you reply to her question, "Oh you'll see Ulqui-chan~"

Despite Ulquiorra's nagging curiosity the nickname and the cute way you used it seemed enough to silence her for the time being, the silence giving you the opportunity to look around the room once again. Just as with most of the other rooms the furnishings are Spartan at best, aside from the sheer mountains of books that are lined up on the shelves in the walls it almost seems barren. Yet, no matter what decoration or lack thereof there is it was still home, a fact that you still felt a bit odd around...

"John," Ulquiorra suddenly speaks up, your zoned out gaze shaking back to reality with her monotone voice and gentle shake of your arm, "Are you alright?"

"Hm? Oh yes, I apologize Ulqui-chan," scratching the back of your head sheepishly you present Ulquiorra with an apologetic smile, "Just a little zoning out is all...it's still a big change for me you know."

Ulquiorra nods sagely, her doe like emerald eyes looking up at you with hope and fear as she speaks, "I understand John...do you regret your choice?"

Shaking your head you hold up your cup of tea, one last sip emptying the dish as you reply to the fair maiden, "Of course not. Granted, it's odd and a little bit...well not just a little bit fucked up knowing what and where I am but that doesn’t matter because I'm here with you and the rest of the girls." Smiling softly you lean in and give Ulquiorra a chaste kiss on the lips, a brief little touch of lip against lip that sends a cheery red fire across her cheeks and down her throat, "I would withstand being turned into an Arrancar a thousand times just for that, I promise you."

"R-Really?" Ulquiorra asks nervously, her trembling fingers slowly guiding her half filled tea cup up to her lips, "Th-that is quite a promise...you do realize."

You chuckle a bit, pulling down the collar of your gi to reveal the number 6 tattooed right above your heart, "Hey Ulqui-chan, do you know why I chose to have my brand to be put here?" Ulquiorra just gives you a blank look, her version of encouraging to continue your thoughts which prompts you to continue, "It's because to me, this tattoo symbolizes all of you girls and I want each and every one of your as close to my heart as possible."

You barely have time to finish your sentence before Ulquiorra nearly lunges on you, her arms wrapped around her body and her lips pressed tightly against yours. The action is so sporadic and surprising you find yourself tackled clean out of your chair, an action that you would have attributed more to Grimjow and the quiet and reserved Ulquiorra.

After a bit of noisy tongue wrestling Ulquiorra pulls away, her wide emerald eyes dancing with lust as she gasps for air. It’s clear in her eyes that her actions are just as much a mystery to her as they are to you but you can also see that she certainly didn't mind the momentary act of aggression on her part, "John...I have another invitation for you."

Smirking a bit you reach up and draw your fingers softly against Ulquiorra's burning cheeks, "and what would that be Ulqui-chan~?"

Your lyrical rendition of her nickname sends another shiver through Ulquiorra's body and adds a level of intensity into her blush but that doesn’t stop her from speaking, "I formally request your presence in my chambers this evening...I want what you gave Nel last night."

Chuckling softly your bend up, your lips pressing briefly against Ulquiorra's as you huskily whisper back, "Then I'll give it to you and more...my lovely Ulqui-chan."
