*Sigh* Another day in the life of me. Well things are busy to say the least and I meant this story to be a oneshot about Nanao-chan and Kyoraku-kun but apperently it was not to be.

Disclaimer:I don't own Bleach sadly :(


What's my name?

I looked up from the paperwork that I was just finishing up when I heard footsteps in the corridor outside my captain's office. Feeling the familiar reiatsu I relaxed and continued organizing the papers. The familiar pink flowered kimono rounded the corner and I glanced up to pay the proper respect by saying "Taicho" and returned to my work pushing up my glasses.

"Nanao-chan" he said in that lazy way of his that made me feel uncomfortable. He was leaning against the doorframe with an innocent smile on his careless face. I just knew he was going to do something mischievous.

"Not now Taicho, I'm trying to finish this mountain of paperwork, which I might add is all due to the fact that you have done nothing for the past three days except drink under that sakura tree." I say a bit more harshly then I intended. I look up at him and amended that statement with

"Sorry Taicho, but I've been under a lot of pressure lately." I clutched my customary book to my chest and was thinking of fleeing before he could do anything else to disrupt my day but was interrupted when he said;

"Now, now Nanao-chan, I wasn't going to do anything." He gazed at me with puppy-dog eyes and I nearly lost my serious façade, key word nearly. I sent him a look which I hoped could whither any more frivolous sentiment from his lips and came around the desk. He chuckled pulling his straw hat lower as if to shield himself from my no-nonsense glare.

I sniffed and looking down on him and his flamboyant ways. Thinking it was time to leave this situation, I made to move past him and out the door. He was in no hurry to get out of my way so I was stuck standing there inches away from him gazing up into his face.

My heart started to beat erratically for no reason, I told myself it was anger at being held up. I almost convinced myself, though I was slightly distracted by the sheer masculinity that was so carefully hidden under his laid-back manner. I noticed the square jaw, the slight shadow of hair on his chin, his warm laughing eyes, and that luscious chocolate hair.

I shook myself, Ise Nanao what are you doing, snap out of it this instance. "Taicho, if you could kindly move…" I ground out still feeling the effects of his closeness. He laughed again and shook his head. "What's my name?"

"Kyōraku-kun" I huffed out feeling that it was too familiar. It felt strange on my tongue, but at the same time it felt right. "Better, but not quite" He said still waiting till the day I would use his given name. He reached out slowly and I thought he was going to touch my cheek, my pulse started to hammer again and I almost closed my eyes…that is, until he quickly swiped the glasses off my nose. I stared at him indignantly and scolded him by saying sharply; "Taicho!"

"Back to that are we?" I waved my hands in front of me trying to 'see' and not fall over, I was practically blind without my glasses. I soon found that this was not the best idea when my hands collided with his shoulders. I sucked in my breath when I found that I could feel the rock hard muscles in his arms under my hands. I lost my grip due to that pink silk kimono and found my hands sliding down the front of his chest. I gasped and was about to pull away when he put one hand over both of mine effectively keeping them on his body. "T…Taicho…I…" His free hand cupped the side of my face stroking my hair away from my temple.


Wow, my Muse just deserted me...so you will have to live with this first chapter *evil laugh* I will continue it as soon as I can! Hope you enjoyed what little I have.
