It was a cold dark day in the soul society, and Ulquiorra was standing in front of Kuchiki Manor. It had been some time since he and Byakuya Kuchiki had met and talked, and he thought it wise to see how he was doing. However, as he approached the front door, he sensed something off. Rukia Kuchiki, Byakuya's adopted little sister from his deceased wife Hisana, was pacing in front of the door frantically. As Ulquiorra knocked on the door, he tensed. The door was pulled open with such force that it almost flew off the hinges. When she saw Ulquiorra standing there, she glared.
"What do YOU want Ulquiorra?" Rukia spat angrily. Her anger wasn't exactly directed at him, she was just stressed. "I came by to see how Byakuya was doing after that fight with Sosuke Aizen, Miss Rukia. But by the way your anger has risen, I will assume it is not good?" Ulquiorra asked in his usual monotone voice. Rukia sighed. "Listen Ulquiorra, I'm sorry that I yelled. He's been acting strange lately. He does keep asking for you though." she says softly.
Ulquiorra actually let a small show of happiness appear across his usually emotionless face at the fact that Byakuya was asking for him. "Oh, he has? Well could you let him know that his savior is here?" he says, his voice filled with unusual happiness. Rukia stared wide-eyed at the show of happiness from Ulquiorra, but complied heading to her brother's room.
Byakuya was pacing his room impatiently. It had been a few weeks since he and Ulquiorra had talked. He and Ulquiorra were taking the time to actually get to know each other. It wasn't normal for Byakuya Kuchiki, man of little emotion, to actually truly interact with people. So this was a shock to all of the servants in Kuchiki Manor. When he heard a knock at his door, he nearly jumped out of his skin. "Enter." He said loud enough for whoever it was to hear.
"Hello nii-san! Ulquiorra is here to see you." Rukia stated cheerily. She smiled at the look of happiness on his face before he darted out of the room.
Byakuya yelled his thanks back to his sister as he ran to the foyer. He finally realized that he truly missed Ulquiorra, HIS Ulquiorra. When he turned the corner and saw the albino standing there, he nearly squealed with joy. As Rukia had said, Ulquiorra was standing there, his eyes bright with happiness. Happiness, Byakuya realized, was all for him. He tripped and stumbled falling right into Ulquiorra's arms.
Ulquiorra was standing there when he saw Byakuya round the corner. His eyes lit up at seeing the happy expression upon his face. He smiled and gasped as Byakuya started to fall. He caught him and held him in a tight embrace. "Oh Byakuya, you must be more careful." He whispered in his ear. He then whispered something he wanted to tell him for a long time. "Byakuya Kuchiki, I love you with all my being.."
Byakuya smiled at his new boyfriend brightly. "I love you too, Ulquiorra Schiffer!"
