Uryu had had various boyfriends, so much that his friends would be surprised. After three weeks of tentative make-out sessions and rushed decisions, he had slept with his second boyfriend. That had been his first time.

Then the jerk had dumped him the next day. Ichigo and Chad had beaten him up and Orihime, Rukia and even Tatsuki had slapped him when they found out. Uryu didn't really see the point in being quite so uptight anymore and slept around for a bit. After finding out that he had gained a rather unpleasant reputation, he stopped.

A week later, he met Renji.

Renji was hot. He wasn't only hot, he was also confident and protective and sweet and a complete idiot. Uryu had fallen for him the same day he met him. After flirting back and forth, hidden jealousy, and dancing around each other, they had gotten together, with much support from their friends. Uryu hadn't slept with him that day. Or the next. Or the one after that. He wanted to do this one right.

A month later and it was Renji's birthday.

So what would Uryu's present be other that birthday sex?

Renji's birthday party was over and everyone had already left. Orihime and Rukia had giggled before leaving, Ichigo smirking and Chad looking amused when Tatsuki wished them good night with a twinkle in her eye Uryu decided he didn't really like.

As soon as he had closed the door, he had been slammed against it so hard he had been dizzy for a few seconds after. Ishida blushed as he came to with Renji kissing him hungrily.

"Ah, wait… wait, Renji… ah… stop it I need to tell you something…" Uryu breathed. He was pressed against his apartment door, Renji's mouth latched on his neck and his hands gripping his rear.

"What?" was said in a growl that made him shiver. Then Renji bit his earlobe. Hard.

"Ow, ah, shit I can't remember," Uryu cursed. Renji chuckled, slowly licking his earlobe in apology for the rather harsh bite earlier.

"Good," a bite to his neck, obviously leaving a mark Uryu was pretty sure was intentional,"you won't need to remember anything or even think for what I'm about to do to you."

Uryu couldn't help it. He laughed.

Renji looked at him in annoyance and bewilderment, then a little insulted and hurt. This only made him laugh harder till he had tears in the corner of his eyes.

"What's so funny?" Renji finally said when his laughing had reduced to chuckles.

"That line was so stupid." Uryu said, bursting into uncontrollable giggles again. "Is that the best you can do?"

Renji pouted adorably, making Uryu want to kiss him again.

"Well, I'm sorry if I was a little distracted," Renji crossed his arms and huffed. The movement shifted Renji, who was still leaning against him. It suddenly made Uryuu really aware of a really noticeable bulge in Renji's jeans.

"Oh, you're so excited already," Uryu teased, thrusting lightly against Renji's hips. He gasped, placing both hands besides Uryu's head.

"Yeah, well you're really exciting," Uryu blushed lightly at the compliment even though it was said like he couldn't believe he could be like this, "and it's been a while." Wow, he hadn't been expecting that.

"Since when?" Uryu had a fleeting thought that it was probably a really weird question to ask, but his curiosity got the best of him.

Renji looked at him with his intense maroon eyes shining with desire and a tenderness Uryu couldn't quite place.

"Since I met you."

Those four words struck Uryu in his chest. He had met Renji like two, no, three months ago now. He hadn't expected Renji to have had this depth of feelings for him. Uryu wished he could say the same thing for himself. Both concerning Renji's previous statement and his own previous thought.

Uryu did like Renji, hell, he liked him a lot. But now it was obvious Renji felt deeper for him. He knew Renji wasn't by any means a virgin, but he had waited for him. Uryu hadn't.

"Uryu? You there?" he was shaken from his thoughts by Renji's amused voice. Uryu looked up into Renji's eyes.

"It's ok, I know you were with your ex that time in the party," he said. Uryu chose not to say anything, not knowing if that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"It doesn't matter anymore, we weren't even together back then," Renji smiled, "it did bug me, but you were drunk and he was a freaking son of a…"

Uryu kissed him to shut him up.

"Forget it," he licked Renji's lips, "it didn't mean anything."

"I hope this means something," Renji breathed against his lips, looking into his eyes, filled with apprehension and concern. Uryu smiled and grabbed his hand.

"Believe me; this would have happened a lot sooner if it didn't. I want to do this one right, Renji. Now let's go to my bedroom so I can give you your birthday present. "

The End
