Today wasn’t as bad as it could’ve been for him. Grimmjow was in his room thinking he was grounded or whatever, he just kept laughing. Szayel and Nnioritorra still, were throwing butter knives at each other. Aarionero and Leroux got smacked by a pillow and thrown thru a wall again by him. Stark was still at the table asleep. Ulquiorra……expressionless still. Halibel just went with her fracciones outside. Barragon just went back to his room and Yammy joined Ulquiorra and attempted to annoy him. The subject in all conversation though, was him and his stuffed best friend. So what!?! He had a prized teddy bear. Who doesn’t? He thought it was perfectly normal. No. He knew it was perfectly normal. He would surely show them. He went to Gin and instructed him to do something very important. Gin Just smiled and after he left laughed. It was amusing to Gin what he had to do but, whatever, he would do it, just for the thrill.
He was awake early to see what Gin did. It was glorious. Everyone’s spot had something that wasn’t tea. Yes. They were going to see just how normal it was to have one. The moment of truth. They entered the room. They sat down. There reactions. Different. Grimmjow picked his up and squeezed the life out of it while staring it down. Szayel pulled something out from his outfit and stuck the item with it. Weird. Nnioritorra poked his out of curiosity. Stark put it down and laid his head on it like a pillow so he could sleep. Halibel picked it up, examined it, and put it back down. Barragon stared at him instead of the thing in front of him. Aarionero….who knows. Ulquiorra stared at it, but couldn’t find any useful logic to it. Leroux patted it saying he was giving it amour. Even weirder, and Yammy laughed at it. Issues. He turned around and watched Gin throwing his up and catching it, repeating this for a while. Still no Kaname. After the meeting, he went to his room. His plan didn’t work. At least everyone took there things with them. He went to bed, his little bear in his arms.
A knock.
“Who is it?” Says half asleep.
“…………”
He got up to see who it was that wasn’t answering.
“Hello……………” He looked around.
Nobody there.
“Grimmjow….It’s probably him.”
There was a tug at his pants. So he looked down and saw what it was.
“What the hell!?!” Freaked out.
It looked at him with really creepy eyes.
“Why is it moving!?!”
It hugged his leg now. It kept looking up at him, sometimes tugging at his pants.
“Get off me!” Now annoyed as much as he was freaked out.
It didn’t let go no matter what he did.
“Why wont you come off!?!”
It blinked and something started spilling from its eyes. Right then and there, he knew.
“Szayellaparro Grantz!!! Get your fucked up toy away from me!!!”
It wouldn’t come off and eventually, it bit his leg. (Too much blood to describe here.) Censored………………………………............................................
Aizen sat up from his bed. His breathing was quick as was his heart beat. He looked at his door. No one knocked. His palms were sweaty and his arms were lightly shaking. Was that a dream he had? Gin entered his room just now. He was carrying a tray that had juice, a huge breakfast and…pills? Aizen looked at the little plate with the pills on it. Gin looked at them too and then place a hand on his forehead. He then put the tray on his lap, grabbed a chair and sat next to him. Aizen looked at Gin funny. What was going on?
“Aizen are you okay? You’re fever has gone down a lot.” He says worried.
“Um…Gin?” Confused
“Yeah. Is something wrong?” Really worried.
“What’s with the pills?” Still confused.
“You’re sick remember…Are you okay, really, I could get you some water instead-” Was cut off.
“No that’s okay…”Still a bit confused.
“Oh.” Noticed something.
“What is it?” Curious.
“You dropped Mr. Hugs.” Picks up Aizen’s teddy bear.
“…….Did I him lose at anytime Gin?” Very curious.
“…No, you never bring him out.” Confused but more worried.
“Okay………………was I dreaming?”
“Are the pills too strong for you, I could have Szayel lower the dosage.” Looks at the pills.
“No…….that’s okay.” Just staring at his bear.
“well alright…” Gets up and leaves the room.
Aizen stared at his bear for a while. He notice himself get hungry so he ate, took his pills and drank the juice. Everything tasted good. All the while, his bear was in his lap. Gin came in every once in a while checking up on him. From what he knew, he was sick, and was taking heavy antibiotics. Yup, definitely from Szayel. He stared at his bed again till there was knock on his door. He looked at it.
“Who’s there?” Said in a simple manner.
“………..”
He got up and checked, but there was no one there. As he was about to close the door, he felt a tug on his pants. Right away, his eyes widened and he froze. He looked down slowly and saw IT. Right at that moment, Szayel walked in front of him.
“Ah, lord Aizen. I see you’ve met my new spy.” Says excitedly.
“Tell it to let go…” Kind of scared.
“Oh, alright. Off Sza Sza. By the way, that’s his way of saying hi.” Very happy.
“Not with me, got it!?!” Sounds a little hesitant but mad.
“Okay. You here that Sza Sza, lord Aizen doesn’t like that. He’s also very intelligent.” Very proud.
“I don’t care. Go already Szayel.” Snaps out of it.
“Alrighty then! I’ll be back to check on you sir.” Leaves, his spy bear close behind him.
The whole rest of the day was awkward whenever Szayel came. That creepy thing always accompanied him. Aizen requested it wait outside so long as he was still breathing. So it did. He couldn’t wait for them to leave. They were just weird. Very weird.
After that, Aizen was able to sleep. His teddy bear safe in his arms. He looked at before going to sleep earlier and smiled. It was like a best friend that never died. It also wasn’t a wack job bear like Szayel’s. His bear was brown. It wore overall with a blue shirt under it. His name was Mr. Hugs. Why? Cause he always gave good hugs. Truly, the best gift he could ever get.
“You can be immortal with me Mr. Hugs……..You‘re the only exception my old friend. Snuggles up in his bed.
“Good night.”
And with that. He slept soundly, never having a bad dream again.
