First message

It all started with a sudden ambush, against a stronger opponent than expected. Grimmjow found himself in a deadly situation: surrounded, wounded, and exhausted. He would have fought to the end, dying in battle was in his nature. But you intervened. Abruptly, without warning, shielding him and taking him out of harm's way. You were seriously wounded. He was furious - not at you, but at himself. For not having acted in time, for letting you get hurt. For not realizing sooner how much you cared. When you finally escaped the enemy, he carried you in his arms in silence, his teeth clenched, blood dripping from his chin, but he kept going. He didn't give you a second to close your eyes. In the shelter, as he himself somehow bandaged your wounds, his hands shook. He was silent - for too long. Then, without looking you in the eye, he finally said:

- "Don't do this again. I don't want to lose you. Not as an ally. Not as..."

He hesitated, his lips twitched nervously, and then - more quietly, more roughly, almost as if giving in:

- "... Not as the one I love. That's all."

You remai an silent. He looks up. And there is no bravado, no challenge in him. Only a sincere fear of losing.
