A Rukon Dog's Dream…or was it?
A little two-chapter Shuuhei birthday ficlet for SesshomaruFreak by Spunky0ne. It was inspired by Sesshomaru's story, Healing the Moon. There will be one more chapter after this and it will be even more fun than this first one! This is yaoi, no mpreg, just some Renji/Shuuhei, then Byakuya/Renji/Shuuhei.

It was well past midnight when a hell butterfly flitted into the quiet study in the heart of Kuchiki Manor. A pair of dark grey eyes left the book the stoic Kuchiki leader held in his hands, and he made a little sigh of annoyance as the insect approached and hovered in front of him. Brushing a few satin black strands of hair away from his face, he nodded briefly at the unwelcome intruder.
"Captain Kuchiki," Head Captain Kyoraku's friendly voice said apologetically, "Sorry to disturb you so late at night, but Captain Zaraki's group is leaving in a few hours and needs whatever information you have on area 52-413 Hueco Mundo."
Byakuya sighed.
Kenpachi knows damned well he should have asked for the information at the meeting earlier tonight and I would have had time to locate what he needed. I would send Renji or another officer to retrieve it, but they will not know exactly what needs to be gathered and it would take less time for me to go to the office and gather it myself, than to explain it to anyone.
Graceful hands set the book down on his desk, and Byakuya rose and stretched. Immediately, his attendant appeared at the chamber door.
"Sir, is there something you need?" he asked quietly.
"Yes, Torio. I will need to dress for a night excursion to my division."
"Of course, sir."
He followed the attendant to the bedroom, where he took his place in the dressing area. Torio's experienced hands swiftly set the elements of his uniform in place, then Byakuya flash stepped out the garden doors and to the courtyard gates, where the evening watch stood at their posts.
"Good evening, Lord Byakuya," the head watchman greeted him.
"Good evening, Tsutomu, Nobu" the noble replied as he passed.
He headed down the street, grateful for the fact that it was nighttime, and he could at least enjoy the lovely view of bright stars and an enchanting full moon as he made his way along the empty roads that led to the sixth division headquarters. He touched his fingertips to the door, emitting a flicker of his reiatsu, which identified him to the locking mechanism, making it click as it opened, allowing him to enter. He stepped into the office and turned on the lights, sighing wearily at the simple, but tedious work that laid ahead of him.
Soft male laughter leaked out from the nearby barracks hallway, and he frowned as he recognized the voice.
Ah, Renji has brought a friend back to his quarters. It had better at least be another member of the military. I have already scolded him for bringing in a civilian after hours before.
He glanced at his desk, but was almost immediately seduced away from it by the continued sounds of talking and laughter coming from Renji's bedroom.
I will never get anything done with that noise going on. I should…
His thoughts paused as he heard Renji say his name with an oddly casual and intimate inflection. Curious, he left his work behind and crept to the door of Renji's quarters, careful as he did to suppress his reiatsu so as not to be sensed. He paused in the hallway, just outside, breathing silently and listening intently.

Within Renji's quarters, the redhead reclined on his bed, his black yukata left carelessly open as he laid next to his similarly dressed friend, both men gazing up at the ceiling.
"So, are you ever going to actually make a move on Captain Kuchiki, or are you just gonna sit here practicing with me forever?" Hisagi teased him playfully.
"I thought you said that the role playing was a big turn on, cause you like him too," Renji snickered, "I wouldn't wanna get together with him and leave you dreaming all by yourself. That wouldn't be fair at all. Besides, you know if I ever did make a move on Byakuya Kuchiki, I'd be lying in a pool of blood and flesh ribbons in like a second. I'm not stupid, Shuu. I know the rules. He's a prince and I'm a mongrel. I've got about as much chance of going to bed with my captain as we both have of being invited to join the Kuchiki clan!"
"Eh, I don't think I have room for another rod in my ass," Shuuhei giggled, grabbing his glass of sake from the nightstand and taking a swallow, "Where would you put yours while we're making love then?"
Renji stole the glass from his hand and took a finishing swallow, then reached across his smiling lover and plunked the glass down on the nightstand.
"Speaking of making love," the redhead said seductively, cozying up to Hisagi's side and curving a hand around his cheek, "I think I'm ready for some fun."
Hisagi kept smiling, but his eye moved to look at the door.
"You sure it's okay to do it here?" he asked, "We usually go to one of our places to have sex."
"Captain Kuchiki left hours ago. He won't be back until morning."
"Are you sure?" Hisagi pressed anxiously, "I don't really want to be punished by him. I've heard he can be vicious. Does he really use Senbonzakura on officers who get him angry?"
"No!" Renji snapped, giving him an offended look, "I don't know where people get that shit. Captain's strict with the rules, but he wouldn't ever abuse any of us. Never has and never will. People just make that shit up. Don't believe it."
"But you said that if…"
"Well, that wouldn't just be making a mistake. It would be an assault on his honor. It's different. Enough about that. C'mon, let's…"
Renji paused, his smile widening and his eyes narrowing mischievously. Hisagi gave him a wary look.
"What? What are you thinking, Red?"
The redhead gave a wicked chuckle and leaned over to whisper in Hisagi's ear.
"Wanna see his quarters?" he asked in a suggestive tone.
"What?" Shuuhei gasped, "No! He'd kill us if he ever knew we were in there! We can't do that!"
Renji let out a dismissive breath.
"He isn't coming back all night. Byakuya is a creature of habit. He wouldn't come back unless we had a full on attack break out, and then, I'm pretty sure you and I would have bigger problems than being caught in his quarters. It's fine. Other squad members go in there to bring him stuff or to clean up and make the bed. He'll just assume any reiatsu we miss when we leave is just from that. It's fine," he said, grabbing Shuuhei's hand and climbing out of the bed, "C'mon!"
His heart in his throat, Shuuhei moved along with Renji to the bedroom door. The redhead opened it just as the hidden captain on the other side of the door ducked back into the office. Byakuya waited until the two had paused to look up and down the hallway, then crept to the door of his quarters. Renji turned the handle and opened the door slowly, then shock lit his features and he gasped in surprise.
"Oh my god!"
"What?" Hisagi yelped, jumping back, "What is it? Is he in there?"
"No!" Renji laughed, "I was kidding, you goof. C'mon, there's no one here but us."
The two stepped into the room and Renji closed the door behind him, but failed to notice Byakuya's fingertips catching it and holding it very slightly open. His eyes sparking with a mixture of anger, arousal and a good measure of confusion, he watched as Renji led his lover around the room, pointing out the many comforts.
"He's got a fucking hot tub in his quarters?" Hisagi mused, "No wonder he doesn't come to the hot baths with everyone else."
"Wanna try it out?" Renji offered, "We're supposed to run it a little every day and I haven't done it yet."
"But we won't hear him if he comes in…" Shuuhei argued.
"He won't be hiding his reiatsu if he's coming in. He'd want me to know. Come on. It's okay. Get in."
"Renji!" his flustered lover complained as his yukata was yanked off and tossed aside.
He stared as Renji's yukata dropped to the floor, revealing the full beauty of the redhead's tall, lanky, and very muscular tattooed body.
Outside the door, Byakuya took a steadying breath, staring at the stunning display of tattoos he had never seen before and had always secretly wondered about.
I wonder if…
Renji turned and Byakuya felt a heavy twinge in his belly and loins as the very inappropriate question he had dared to think was resoundingly answered.
That too, is tattooed.
He watched as Renji's arm curved around his friend and he coaxed Hisagi down into the bubbling water.
They look quite attractive together.
…very attractive…
"See," Renji sighed, "it's great, isn't it?"
"Yeah," Shuuhei confessed, sinking in up to his neck and leaning against Renji, "Feels amazing!"
The redhead turned and sank into his mouth for several kisses that felt as scathingly hot as the water and left Shuuhei's head as hazy as the steamy air around them.
"Wanna play a little?" Renji suggested, "We're in his room. It'll be easier to pretend, right?"
Shuuhei bit his lips anxiously, his loins aching for the offered enjoyment, but his mind still distracted with thoughts of the real Byakuya Kuchiki arriving and catching them in the act.
"I don't know, Renji," he said uncertainly.
"All right," the redhead relented, smirking, "we can just talk about it, then."
"Talk about it?"
"Yeah. How would you do it…if he ever gave you the time of day? If he ever noticed you and looked like he wanted you."
"You mean, in our stupid dreams?" Shuuhei said a little sadly, "I don't know what I'd do. I mean…if a guy as beautiful as Byakuya Kuchiki ever seemed interested in me, all I'd wanna do is whatever it would take to make him never go away again."
Renji's eyes softened and took on a dreamy, glazed look.
"Do it, Shuu. Pretend I'm him. Pretend that I'm Byakuya Kuchiki and I just looked into your eyes and told you…"
Renji paused and took his friend's hands, gazing intently into his eyes and summoning his best "Byakuya" voice.
"Shuuhei Hisagi, I have…been distracted by you."
Shuuhei's eyes widened and stared back at Renji reflecting surprise.
"I've been…d-distracting you? I'm sorry, sir. I'll just…go."
He started to climb out of the hot tub, a very little smile creeping onto his lips as Renji's hand wrapped around his wrist.
"Where do you think you are going?" he asked in a commanding tone, "I did not dismiss you."
"Oh, sorry, sir," Shuuhei apologized, dropping down into the water again, "Oh, sorry, I splashed you. Let me get that."
He moved closer to Renji, reaching around him to pick up a towel.
"With your permission, sir," he said respectfully.
The false "Byakuya" nodded primly, watching closely as Shuuhei touched the towel to his face and throat, then slowed and dragged it more sensuously across an exposed breast, exciting the sensitive nipple. He stared, spellbound as the false "Byakuya sucked in a flustered breath and below the water, his awakening member began to react.
"Shuuhei Hisagi…"
The two men stared at each other, each feeling the heady impact of the moment. Then, Renji surged forward, bringing Shuuhei down beneath the surface for a barrage of hungry kisses. They surfaced several moments later, still kissing and unaware that Byakuya was watching them closely, a pale hand over his pounding heart.
"I don't think it would ever be that easy!" Shuuhei laughed, splashing water at Renji as the redhead dragged him onto his lap, "Captain Kuchiki isn't like us, Renji. He's so beautiful and rich. He can have anyone he wants. What would he want with a couple of Rukon dogs like us?"
"Right," Renji sighed, sobering, "I know you're right, but it isn't wrong to think about What if? Even if it never happens, it's fun to think about. And even if neither of us ever has a chance with him, we've got each other."
"Yeah," Shuuhei sighed, shifting his body slightly as Renji's fingers began to prepare him, "I love you, Renji."
"Love you too, Shuu," Renji said affectionately.
Shuuhei's breath caught and he moved his hips enthusiastically as Renji's fingers continued their purposeful invasion.
Outside the door, Byakuya started to back away, but then Hisagi loosed a panting moan of arousal that froze him in place and refused to let him move.
"Oh god, that feels so good!"
He smiled and looked down into Renji's burning cinnamon eyes.
"Your turn," he panted, "Make love to me…and while you're making love to me, tell me how you would be with him."
Renji grinned widely.
"It wouldn't just be me and him. You'd be there too. Maybe we'd come back from a mission together and we all needed a good soak…and somehow, maybe it was the nearest place or all the other baths in the Seireitei stopped working. I dunno how it would happen, but somehow, we'd end up in here, bathing together. And you know how crappy I am at holding back my reiatsu. I'd be freaking out inside and he'd sense it. So, by some miracle he does and he calls me on it."
Shuuhei straightened on the redhead's lap and glared down into his eyes.
"Lieutenant Abarai," he said, frowning, "what is wrong with you? Or need I ask? It is clear to me that you are extremely aroused. Should I leave you and your friend to your amusements?"
"Yeah, like that," Renji laughed, grabbing Shuuhei's hips and moving him into position, "I'd be scared outta my mind and I'd be sure he was gonna kill me, but he'd be already naked, right and the reiatsu would be riled all around us. Maybe it would grab him and he'd be pulled into the moment. He'd look down at me and move closer. He'd give me the slightest touch of his lips, but it would feel like we were struck by lightning!"
Renji reeled for a moment as Shuuhei's lips brushed against his.
"I'd ask him why he did it and he'd be a little unsure. But he knows he wants us and he has us right there, so he tells us to make love in front of him."
"Ohmygodthat'sfuckinghot!" Hisagi panted, sinking down and joining their bodies.
The two men's hips ground hard under the hot water as Renji continued between their biting kisses.
"W-we start out like this," Renji moaned, "and he'd be watching from behind you, and while he was watching us, he'd want to see the tattoos on my back, so he'd ask us to switch places."
Hisagi broke away from him, turning and stealing Renji's place on the bench as the redhead rose up between his widespread thighs, entering him again.
"He'd see the way my tattoos move while I'm loving you and he'd wanna touch them, so he'd slip in behind me and while I was pumping my hips like this. His fingers would trace'em slow-like and then his hands would slide down my sides. He'd grab my ass with both hands and squeeze, taking over control and moving them for me while kissing the back of my neck."
"Th-then what?" Hisagi prompted him.
"Oh!" the redhead gasped, clenching Shuuhei's thighs and intensifying his movements, "He'd take me slow from behind…p-pushing into me, pushin' me into you…ah…like that. He looks kinda delicate, but he's so fucking strong. We'd crack the damned tub and the water'd drain away, but we'd just keep on like we didn't notice a thing until we all went off together and just collapsed."
Renji's head bowed and Byakuya was treated to the lovely, vibrant shivers that gripped the redhead's body as his body was overcome and he loosed himself into his lover and collapsed into Hisagi's waiting arms.
"What then?" Shuuhei asked, grinning and panting in recovery.
"We'd climb into his bed and we'd all give each other some love bites so we'd remember. So, even if he couldn't be with us, at least he'd be with us this once. And he'd know that even though he had to leave us, we'd want it to last forever with him. He'd have to have his on the back of his neck, so that he could hide them, but we'd know they were there, and that it meant that he'd never forget us."
"That's kinda sad," Shuuhei mused, "Renji, do you think he's lonely?"
"Captain?" Renji said, tilting his head, "Yeah, I think he is. He lost the person he loved and he hasn't ever gotten over it. He's been in pain for over fifty years, mourning her."
Hisagi sighed regretfully.
"You know, I hope he finds someone. And you know, if it's you and he doesn't want an extra hanging around…"
Renji gave him a reproving look.
"I'm not leaving you, ever," he said, kissing the "69" tattoo on Shuuhei's face, "Byakuya…no Byakuya, you and I have shared a lot of things. We've gotten each other through a lot. I really hope that someday Captain Kuchiki can have someone to love him. I wish to heck it could be us, but if it can't be, I'd want it to be someone who appreciates him…not one of those girls they shove at him and try to arrange in a marriage for him. Someone he could really connect with. I want him to be as happy as we are."
"Me too," Shuuhei agreed, sitting up slowly and looking around as Byakuya stepped back and closed the door softly.
Byakuya left the hallway and slipped back into the office, where he swiftly found the information he needed, then escaped into the quiet, moonlit streets. He headed for the first division, his mind whirling at what he has witnessed.
At first, I was angry. I meant to open the door and stop their shenanigans at once. How dare they invade my room and have sex in my hot tub, while speaking about me, a superior officer, in such a way! I tried to move, but when I saw them begin to make love, they looked so beautiful, playing in the water and talking so openly about what they desired. It did not sound so disgraceful. It did not sound wrong. I know it is not something my family would approve of, but…Renji was right when he said I feel lonely. I have mourned Hisana for many years, but the truth is, I've known for some time that I should make myself open to another person.
An unintended smile touched his lips as he reached his destination and started inside.
I think that I shall have to answer their actions with a response of some kind.
But what?
What should I do?
