A/N: A short challenge I was given to help rekindle my muse. This was actually the challenge that ripped open my ByaRen obsession. Challenge: Put a music device (in this case an ipod) on shuffle. Write a drabble inspired by the song that pops up. The time limit is the length of the song. When the next song starts, stop writing and go to town on the next drabble. I went to five songs. I encourage others to try this as well. It's actually really fun! Feel free to review!
Disclaimer: I don't own anything from bleach. Tite Kubo does. I just toy with the characters a bit. I also don't own the songs. Those belong to their respective artists.
Song: Magnet By: Len/Kaito of Vocaloid
He could try to forget. Really he has tried. But soon he was dreaming about it: the feel of Renjis lips pressed against his own. Byakuya Kuchiki knew it wasn't right, but honestly, he was starting not to care. He was drawn to him like a magnet.
"Hey," Renji had said casually. "Stay back and wait a bit, will ya?" Byakuya was confused but had no troubles with complying. He could feel Renji squirm under his condescending gaze, staring at the ground with no confidence whatsoever. It wasn't like him. Usually the bastard was overconfident.
"What is it?" Byakuya had said.
That was when it happened. One moment Renji was before him, the next he had covered his captains mouth with his own.
He knew it wasn't right. He knew people would stare, but he couldn't help himself. He pulled him closer.
He kind of liked the way his dreams replayed it every night.
Song: Not an Addict By: K's Choice
Byakuya was a drug. A drug he couldn't have. Renji would stare at the corner of his vision. Try to take in as much of his cold captain as he could, but he would never let him know. Never.
The nights were cruel. The red-haired Lieutenant couldn't control his own thoughts. It made him want to cry loud and hard, but that just wasn't him. He wasn't a pansy ass who sobbed alone in the dark. No, he needed something stronger than tears.
The knife started looking dirty after a few nights. Stained red with his blood. Every single push of the blade against his skin freed him from the sadness, the desire, the need.
He wanted to bury his face into Byakuyas skin, breathe in his scent. He imagined it smelling like sakura petals. Who wouldn't?
Deeper, he told himself. Push it deeper.
He was addicted.
Song: Monster Remix By: Meg & Dia
He knew that he was there. Lying in wait, trying to find any logic in what he was about to do. He smiled a bit, but only a bit. Renji wasn't hard to sense. Especially when he was frustrated. His reiatsu thrummed madly with every breath he took to steady his nerves. Byakuya had been seeing his frustration every time he came close.
He teased his lieutenant constantly, leaning a little too close when pointing out simple errors in Renji's paperwork. The blush that worked its way up his neck was the same color as his hair. Byakuya liked that about him. Thought it was cute.
Now, walking through the halls in their office in Seireitei, he could feel Renji waiting around the corner for Byakuya to appear. He chuckled to himself and slowed his pace. Why not tease him a bit more?
Song: What Have You Done By: Within Temptation
An anguished cry escaped Renji's lips as he watched his captain fall. His mind grew blank and rage flickered through his body like lightening. The blade of his zanpakuto whipped around, striking every hollow in sight with one swing. His eyes were blinded with blood, but he could sense everything around him.
He sent blow after blow upon his attackers, dropping them all like flies before racing to Byakuya's side. The steady-faced captain looked up into his lieutenant's face and smiled. Renji's rage floated away and was replaced with worry.
"Idiot," Byakuya sighed, closing his eyes.
"I know," Renji smiled, drawing him closer.
Song: Hello Again By: Lostprphets
Renji couldn't help but pace the room. It was all he could do to hold back the anticipation. He was gone for so long that the energetic lieutenant felt he was going to burst.
Finally, he could hear the footsteps in the hall. Quickly, he looked around, trying to find something to do to make it look as if his absence hadn't affected him so much. He threw himself into a chair and picked up a book. Tossing it aside, he realized that nothing was more suspicious than him reading a book.
The door slid open, and Renji smiled at the sight of his captain.
"Hello, Abarai Fukutaicho," Byakuya said dismissively, stepping into the room.
Before he could say anything else, Renji was on him, pushing his lips against his and wrapping his arms around his waist.
"I missed you, too," Byakuya whispered against his lover's skin.
