A/N This's my first fanfiction, so don't hate me, but some tips would be nice(:

Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach in any way, otherwise IchigoxRenji would soo be in there.

"C'mon Renji, you can just stay with me," Ichigo finally said, after Renji suggested staying with Urahara.

"What about Rukia? I thought she was staying with you," he counteracted, even though he secretly wanted to stay with the other boy, for reasons he himself didn't quite understand.

"She can just stay with Orihime. Besides, that'd be much more appropriate than her sleeping in my closet.

Renji stood there for a moment, biting his lip and weighing his options. He soon came to the conclusion that rooming with Ichigo was better than rooming with Urahara, sighing, he said, "Fine, I guess I'll stay with you then."

A cheeky grin spread across Ichigo's face, a sense of victory washing over him. He wasn't sure why exactly, but he felt a strange warmth in his chest as he thought about Renji sharing his room with him, and for some reason, he liked it. "Good. Now c'mon, if we don't get to class soon, the teacher's gonna be pissed."

"Ugh, I still don't know why I have to go to your school. I'm a soul reaper, not a high school student," Renji complained as he followed Ichigo down the now deserted hallway.

"Wait. What are we gonna tell you dad?" Renji asked as the two boys stood outside the doors of Kurosaki Clinic.

"Don't worry, I've got a plan," Ichigo said with confidence as he opened the door and stepped inside, Renji following close behind.

"HOW WAS SCHOOL, ICHIGO?!" Isshin yelled, "WHO'S YOUR FRIEND?!"

"Renji," Ichigo said, annoyed, "Can he stay with us for a couple of weeks while his parents are out of town?"

"Why can't he just stay at his house?" Karin said in a bored voice.

"Because," Ichigo started, "I know him well enough to know that he can't stay alone in a house for even two days without setting something on fire."

Isshin looked over to Renji, who was grinning sheepishly, "Of course he can stay, as long as you two don't get up to any trouble."

"Really, dad? You're just gonna let him stay? Just like that?" Karin butted in.

"Yeah! I could care less if Ichigo has one of his friends over for a while."

And with that, Ichigo walked up the stairs and to his room, Renji right behind him. "Well that went better than I expected," Renji sounded impressed.

"Yeah, he'll say 'yes' to anything I ask, so I knew it would work," Ichigo plopped down on his bed, and Renji sat down next to him, leaning his back against the wall and drawing one leg up to his chest.

"So, I'm just gonna sleep on the floor, right?" he questioned, trying to dull the awkward silence that was beginning to form.

"Yeah, that'll work," Ichigo said, looking at his window. "How long do you think all of you are going to be staying here?" he sounded curious.

"I can't say for sure, but hopefully no more than a few weeks."

Later that night, after dinner, Ichigo was digging out extra blankets and a pillow from his closet for Renji. Once he found three big, puffy blankets and a super comfy pillow, he put them down on his bed.

"Will this be enough? You are going to be sleeping on the floor after all."

"That's more than enough, thanks," Renji relied as he scooped the bedding up and lay it down on the floor and started to make his bed. Once he finished, Ichigo switched off the light and they both climbed into their beds for the night.

Both boys slept peacefully, each others soft breathing as their lullabies.
