~Author's note~

Almost forgot to put this on here DOH!. This is my first fanfiction, its is a collaboration with my dear friend and my very own Nanao, mj0621. I have no beta, in fact I act as my friend's beta at the moment for her bleach fics. XD I hope you enjoy this as much as I have enjoyed writing it with my friend, all the late night giggling and fangirl filled IM sessions to get this chapter done.

~Disclaimer~

I don't own Bleach, if I did I would not be writing fanfiction.. or maybe I still would but still. I'm not the owner of these characters I just love to toy with them in my own little way, but no money is made off of these, sadly I'm still broke.

Chapter 1- Someone needs a few drinks

As usual papers littered the 10th division's office; the captain was away on some mission while the vice-captain was away in her own little world. A deep sigh escaped Rangiku Matsumoto's lips. Gin seemed more and more out of her reach. Their time together meant nothing to him and it was becoming clearer to her each day that there was nothing she could do about it. He was after all a captain. She needed a distraction. She needed a drink.

Rangiku got up from the couch and headed outside to find someone to drink with. She never enjoyed drinking alone, it made her lonelier. Passing through the square, she saw the eight's vice-captain and practically ran towards her.

"Nanao-san" Do you know where Kyoraku-taichou is?"

Ise Nanao was a sharp woman. She was a good observer, and at the moment something in her felt that she won't approve of this conversation or whatever Rangiku-san was planning.

"Yes, but can I ask why?"

Rangiku grinned at her friend and replied, "Well, I'm kind of in need of his assistance right now."

Nanao studied the blond in front of her. "He is reluctantly working at the moment. Soutaichou needs some of his reports today."

Rangiku grumbled at Nanao's iron clad work ethic, if she got her captain to do some work, it would take nothing short of a menos to get her to let him out of it.

Nanao bid her blond friend farewell for now, she probably would be picking her and her drunken captain up later wherever they decided to end up in their drunken escapades. Nanao was content with herself for the time being, her taichou was working, for once. It felt strange to think he was tucked away working hard in his office. Nanao continued on to the 1st division's office to file the paper work from the day before, they were finally caught up. She wanted to hurry back to her office to check to see if her taichou had sneaked out in her absence.

Rangiku Matsumoto looked more downcast since the last time Shuhei Hisagi laid eyes on the busty blond. He watched her walk across the yard away from the 8th division towards what he hoped wasn't another night of convenience with that dog she considered a friend. Hisagi thought he could make her happy, that he could distract her from that pathetic excuse for a friend.

Kyouraku Shunsui stared at the pile of papers that were sitting on his desk. He visited the office because wanted to take his Nanao-chan someplace where they can eat, but alas, his lovely vice-captain tricked him (and not to mention threatened) into doing his reports for old Yama. What made things worse for him was his Nanao-chan left him alone to go hand in the work she did earlier. The thoughts of escaping came into mind, but then again, he really wanted to spend time with his beloved Nanao-chan since it's been a while -that would mean he had to be a good captain and do his work until she came back, therefore adding plus points onto his name, so she won't be able to refuse his request. Ah, the things he do for his lovely Nanao-chan.

Shunsui sighed at the massive amounts of papers before him. It was late in the day he thought. Surely his Nanao-chan would be back in just a bit, she wouldn't keep her handsome captain waiting all alone for such an extended period of time. The door swigging open broke Shunsui's thoughts with hopes it would be his lovely Nanao-chan coming back to relive him of this tedious work. It wasn't who he hoped for.

As the door opened, Shunsui stood up, preparing to give his bespectacled vice a warm hug when a cough stopped him midway.

"Nanao-cha-... Ukitake! Shuuhei-san!", he stood in front of the duo, tilting his head in question.

Ukitake Jyuushiro smiled and nodded, "Sorry to disappoint Shun, but we aren't Ise-san."

Shunsui scowled and sighed whilst he returned back to his desk, continuing his work. "How much more disappointments a man can take?"

Jyuushiro chuckled at his lovesick friend. "Well old friend I think you'll like what we have planned."

"If it has to do with my one of my three favorite things then let me hear it, I need something to look forward to until my most favorite returns" Shunsui grinned up at the two in hopes that they were going to offer what he thought they were.

Jyuushiro chuckled to himself, his old friend always did have a one track mind.

Hisagi grinned at the two taichou "we're all getting together at the 10th division later for some drinks later, Rangiku felt like celebrating her taichou not being there, what do you say taichou?"

Shunsui's eyes grew large with excitement. He had been working so hard today, he deserved a bit of a break, and who knew when his Nanao would be back

"I think I will join you all for a drink or two if you're going over there now, it'll help dull the pain of sitting through all these reports." Shunsui winked at the two knowing it would not be just a drink or two.
