Buzzing the Tower

Summary:

Ichigo does something stupid. Of course.

Notes:

The prompt was "Air Traffic Control, This is Love." I didn't realize it was a band and a song, so I took it literally. Enjoy!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Soul Society ATC:  “Flight AHM 04 cleared for take off.”

 

AHM 04 pilot: “Flight AHM 04 taking off now, have a good morning.”

 

Grimmjow takes a sip of his piping hot coffee, from his “Air Traffic Controller Multitask Best,” mug.  He listens to the cross chatter from the other controllers in the Soul Society Air Traffic Control tower, enjoying the music it makes.

 

He knows, out there, at this very airport is one mop-headed Berry getting ready to fly off into the morning sunrise.  They got lucky last night, their shifts finally lining up to actually spend time together.   He can still feel every touch on his skin and every kiss across his body.  He smiles to himself and tries not to daydream on the job. 

 

Soul Society ATC: “Flight WoL 2005, hold for LN 0-niner to clear the Bravo taxi and then you are go.”

 

He watches all the little blips he’s in charge of, moving around the field.  Constantly on alert for anyone or things out of order.  He likes the challenge, the control, the order. 

 

?? Pilot: “Good morning ladies and gentlemen…”

 

“Oh no!” a familiar voice comes over the air waves.  Grimmjow starts spamming his call button, but the pilot is not paying any attention.

 

?? Pilot: “We should be clearing the gate at any moment now and it shouldn’t take long to get out of here today. 

 

“Berry! Shut up!”

 

?? Pilot: “Beautiful skies and great weather will mean an easy one hour and thirty minute flight.  Should get you there just in time for lunch.  So sit back, relax, and we at Karakura Air, thank you for flying with us.

 

Grimmjow sighs.  There’s only one thing he can do now.  

 

Soul Society ATC: “Alright guys, let him have it!”

 

KA pilot 2: “Whoa! Just in time for lunch? What’s the wife making?”

 

AHM pilot: “Speed demon! An hour thirty!?”

 

LN pilot: “Your voice KA, it’s so dreamy.”

 

Berry: “Aw shit.  Sorry, that’s a first for me.”

 

Soul Society ATC:  “That’s why I love you, Babe.  Have a good flight.

 

Berry: “Fuck you Control.”

 

“This is love.”
