Mistletoe (Grimmjow x Reader)

Smutmas Day 10 My cat goat My works: enjoy Bye now - Mars ♡

Grimmjow's eyes stalked you throughout the night. His blue eyes glued to your form as you moved from one place to another. 

It was a Christmas dinner, everyone was laughing and mingling. Family games of all sorts being played. 

The blue haired man's eyes stayed glued onto you the entire night. Tracking your movements from when you first came to now. 

He watched you hand out the gifts you brought then sample all the desserts and catch up with your friends. 

Now as you excused yourself for a smoke break, he snatched a mistletoe from the Christmas tree and followed you out. 

You were no stranger to Grimmjow and his weird catlike tendencies of affections. Or appearance. You thought he found you interesting at best. 

The espada has seen his rival do this stupid ritual and was rewarded with a kiss, he later found out it was called. Holding this mistletoe over his head and getting a kiss.

A kiss. An odd phenomenon but he was curious. He was… interested. 

He saw you leaning against the porch, cigarette in hand as you took a drag and blew out the smoke into the air.  "You" he smirked, walking over to you. Despite the cold weather he refuses to conform to human standards of buttoning his shirt. 

"Grim, enjoyin' the party?" You subtly checked him out, but his eyes caught it. 

"No" he holds up the mistletoe over your head, staring down at you, waiting, wanting. 

"Um?" 

He licks his lower lip, holding your gaze with his own intense one, "My reward human" he says it like it's obvious and you're the weird one for not instantly knowing what he meant. 

Grimmjow shakes the mistletoe expectantly 

You smile, leaning closer and cupping his face. 

He looks alert, eyes zeroing onto your eyes, trying to see into your very soul.

You thought why not. It was Christmas, you were feeling merry and a little kiss could be fun, fuck it!

With that, you captured his lips with yours, tasting him. The kiss is experimental, too much teeth and no rhythm at all.  

You pull away, looking at him, "Normally you close your eyes when you kiss someone"

"I can't close my eyes" he grumbles

"But you can though" you muse, hands still cupping his cheeks

"I refuse"

"Then I guess you don't want another kiss" you pout

He stills, staring down at you. Then he hesitantly closed his eyes, waiting. 

You smile and kiss him again. His hands find your waist, pulling you up against his chest

He seems to get the hang of it, taking initiative to kiss down your neck, letting his teeth graze your sensitive skin. His big ears tickle your neck. 

He pushes you into the garage, caging you against the wall. "I need you" he groans, "I hate that I do but I do" he pulls away, looking at you. Brows furrowed in confusion. 

"I didn't know you felt that way" you breathe, kissing him again, "Take me" 

And he does. Wasting no time in ravishing you. Like a starved beast. Grimmjow drops to his knees, stuffing his face into your pussy, his movements are needy and desperate. Bullying his face between your thighs with a needy urgency, as if he can't get enough of your taste. 

Tongue stuffing into your hole and poking at your sweet spot over and over again. His nose bumps against your clit making you moan out his name in sweet delight. 

You cum when he covers your clit with his mouth, sucking hard, fingers slipping into your pussy and pumping nonstop. 

You tug at his pants, stroking his cock. It's thicker than you expected. He groans at your touch, bucking his hips forward.

Grimmjow lifts you up, pinning you against the wall. His blue eyes are darker now, chest rising and falling as he stares at you, mesmerized. 

"Put it in" he whispers against your lips, tugging on your bottom lip. 

You grab his cock and guide it into your pussy. The stretch has you arching into him, toes curling as he’s stuffed all the way into you, buried to the hilt. 

"Fucckk!!" You grasp, holding onto him as he starts pounding into you, chasing that high he only once gotten in battles. 

It felt absolutely divine to be buried deep in your cunt. It felt like winning. The same high he got when he won a battle.

He cums deep inside of you, moaning out your name with a deep feral groan. His catlike ears twitching as he grunts and groans, emptying himself into you. 

He drops his head against your breasts, panting, he gently sets you down.

"I didn't come yet" you lean against him, "Wait...was that your first time?" you pause, looking at him

"I don't have time for this" he grunts, hands gliding over the curve of your ass, squeezing the fat there. 

"You will make time to make me cum after dumping your load in me" you grip his face

He smiles, eyes gleaming with affection? Love? You couldn't place it in the moment. 

He makes no move, letting you do as you please. 

You trace down his abs, reaching the hole in his tummy. You touch the inside of it and his shivers. Full body, back straightening, eyes closing and nostrils flaring.

"Fuck" he glares at you, "Let me make you come" he grunts, dropping to his knees.

Substitute Shinigami "M" The Miracle Ichigo Kurosaki

Yhwach commented that Ichigo's birth was truly miraculous which it was.

Masaki was Hollowfied which is a technology never meant to be used on Quincy and normally impossible since Quincy can't Hollowfy do to lacking antibodies against Hollows.

Her hollowifcation was caused by White who according to Tosen was the first Hollow the created using a Shinigami's soul.

Isshin was turned into a Shinigami-human hybrid using a Gigai made from a humans soul. I think their identities of these souls are important.

I think they will all tie back to Soken. There is a cool theory that Guenael Lee was based on Soken.

Which is possible since Soken was a member of the Wandenreich.

I think Soken was tasked with retrieving Gremmy's brain.

I believe it came from the human soul used to create Isshin's Gigai. I think he was a Fullbringer and relative of Yukio they do look similar.

I think Isshin shaved his soul like how Aizen had Rangiku's soul.

Aside from looking similar Yukio has similar reality warping powers with Gremmy he can even create people in a sense.

I think the Kutsuzawa Family hinted that Fullbring can be passed down in a family.

Quincy policy is to show up after the Shinigami dies when exterminating Hollows. I think Soken was in this situation when he went to retrieve Gremmy's brain he found him being attacked by a Hollow and a Shinigami attempting to save him.

I think Shaz Domino was based on the Shinigami who died trying to protect Gremmy's original body and Soken did not intervene.

Aizen further revealed that White was created with the soul of a dead Shinigami I think Shaz Domino was that Shinigami.

I think it was hinted at by Soken's statement saying it pained him to see the sad faces of humans and Shinigami. I think it hints he regretfully watched White and Gremmy die and did nothing.

I think the powers of Shaz Domino and Guenael Lee will be symbolic. Although it was not revealed in the manga his power was regeneration. He gave Shaz Domino the ability to

Gremmy gave Guenael Lee the ability to erase his existence I think symbolizing how Soken vanished from his life.

It was hinted that Soken was absent a lot so I think it was a personality of trait of his in the past.

Soken advocated for the Quincy and Shinigami to work together. If my theory is true then Soken's actions inadvertently led to the births of Uryu and Ichigo who symbolize that wish.

Soken was at odds with the Wandenriech he thought Quincy were in the wrong when it came to their dispute with the Shinigami. In the anime he believed it was the job of the Quincy of Living World to stop Yhwach which Uryu and Ichigo did together.

It was never stated why in the manga he was banished but from the anime it seems like Soken was against the Wandenreich trying to recreate the original world and I wonder if the purging of the Gemischte Quincy also played a role. So adding more meaning in Uryu and Ichigo Gemischte Quincy defeating Yhwach.

It was revealed that Soken died because the Shinigami failed to show up to help him fight Hollows.

Later it was revealed that Mayuri delayed his rescue. Which in hindsight is ironic but I think it was really karma and Kubo will reveal that in the anime.

Gigais are really just soul condoms if you think about it.

gigai!  (.❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Man, I love gigai. They’re so weird. They seem like the hardest, most complicated way to accomplish something but I’m also 1000% willing to believe technologically/magically it really is their best possible present solution. I’ve posted before about the buck-wild gikon lore we got from Rukia, and the potential that the way we see gigai and gikon used most often in-series is not the way they have been historically used by Soul Society--that the current usage is a newer development, and is possibly even further popularized by Influencer/Cultural Icon Rukia.

I also hc that the “potential of drawing Hollows by your presence” that sitting around in gigai ameliorates, according to the Advance Team arc, is more of a context-specific concern because 1) Arrancar are afoot, 2) they are focused on things other than routine Hollow extermination (if you ARE there to exterminate Hollows, being a beacon for them would be rather convenient!), and 3) the average shinigami on one of these patrols doesn’t light up the area like a county fair in the way that a pile of Captain/VCs does. 

But anyway, I’m actually here to talk about Episode 128, my latest installment of “I think about this way more often than it’s genuinely worth, but NPR gave me 5 minutes of airtime so I’m going to talk about it anyway.”

Nothing happens in Episode 128. Ichigo does 2 seconds of Vizard training and then the Advance Team Minus Renji stand around in a park at different times of day. But I love it anyway! Because I think so much about what the cultural norms around gigai/gikon are in this episode.

Step 1. When to Use Your Gikon

After standing around in a park in the afternoon, Matsumoto goes shopping. But when she gets an alert for a Hollow in her area, she realizes she has to go back to that park and stand around in it at dusk. Even though she is in full view of a human and is in fact interacting directly with this human, she stops what she’s doing and immediately bounces from her gigai, leaving her gikon in her place. I’m sure the assumption here is that any human in the vicinity shouldn’t be able to tell the difference, and that this is better than living a limp body in an alleyway. (Sidebar: The fact that there are multiple gikon types, and that the gikon dispenser has been redesigned for the Aesthetic, but NONE OF THE TYPES are good at blending, and most of them are actively bad at it, is absolutely god-tier. Love it. Perfection. Especially when you consider that Rukia says they’ve historically been used to bounce souls out of corpses lololol. Award-winning tech straight from the 12th!)

Step 2. How to Reclaim your Gigai

Anyway, Matsumoto et al do their standing in the park at dusk, and then they all go retrieve their gigai. For some reason, even though Matsumoto was closest to the park, everyone else has already retrieved theirs when they then all accompany her to get hers:

I guess it would make sense to retrieve the furthest first, since it’s faster to travel as a shinigami rather than having to walk around town in gigai. Why this needed to be a group project and they all needed to be here for Matsumoto’s retrieval? I have no idea. But anyway, the part about this I love is that Matsumoto does not seem to care one iota that her gikon is causing an absolute scene, and also was in the middle of assaulting this poor man:

Like, degree to which Matsumoto (or anyone else in this scene) is caring about the nature of this gikon/human interaction: 0. There’s basically no sense that this would be inappropriate or undesirable, or that it would create a disturbance better avoided. They just DO NOT REACT, which gives the impression that inasmuch that humans are to be protected and human buildings should not be subject to destruction-by-shinigami-battle, from the shinigami POV humans are essentially NPCs and it doesn’t much matter how you interact with them. (I also think that “caring about humans” is actually secondary to caring about their souls. Sure, it’s definitely better for humans to not die horribly by supernatural means, because that’s sad and it would make their families sad. That’s parseable. But whether their soul is in a body or not is still probably not as big a concern as whether their soul is headed for Hollowfication or Soul Society.)

There’s just this beautiful disconnect in that they don’t seem to have entirely mastered the art of existing within a living realm materially, rather than existing in its shadows. But even more than not having mastered the art, they also do not care that much about the art. Their priorities are elsewhere and it doesn’t entirely register as a consideration. That’s what I love.

Especially since this scene honestly makes it seem like the more jaw-dropping part of this is not gikon shenanigans but the number of shopping bags Matsumoto has. Like, Hitsugaya is not making that face about the gikon. This is about Matsumoto’s comment about her bags, LOL:

It’s not even just Matsumoto being deeply unselfconscious. If there were established gigai/gikon protocols for how to limit your impression on the living realm, I feel like at least Hitsugaya would care about them. Hitsugaya does not care. He barely cares when the Muppets Take Karakura High and he does not care about which of Orihime’s neighbors see them when they’re bringing in the Worm TV, LOL. Maybe he just immediately relinquishes that hope and is picking his battles here. Still, I feel like the main reason blending was even part of the conversation was because Rukia, as Soul Society’s current foremost expert, brought it up. But it’s on page 392 under the heading “Recommended but not Required” in the Advance Team “Before You Go!” pamphlet and these guys just cannot be bothered.

Though now that I think about it, I’m actually not sure why they’re not in gigai here:

It’s not like they’d just come from battle and simply hadn’t gotten back into their gigai. They just spent all night going to retrieve them and walk to the house in them! And I mean, sure, take off your outside clothes (and your little ghost sandals asfajkfjlja), and I’m sure it’s more comfortable to not be in gigai, but unless Orihime’s house is a faraday cage (who’s to say it isn’t, though), isn’t this just attracting Hollows unnecessarily, AKA one of the primary reasons gigai feature so prominently for this mission? Especially since they are in gigai to talk to Yamamoto on the Worm TV, and also(?) to attempt jinzen later, which seems--well, that seems like Challenge Mode.

It really seems like they’re still trying to work out how they’re supposed to be using these things and it’s like, oh no, why am I still wearing this apron? Why AREN’T I wearing an apron? What are aprons for??
