Because I Can
I'm not very sure about some of my grammar so sorry if it's a bit weird to read, I also got a bit comma happy, so lots of commas. Yeah! commas. Anyway (random comma love over) I'm not really sure if this can be called romance but I didn't know what else to put it under.

Because I Can
A full moon hung in the pitch black sky devoid of stars, a few lonely clouds scudded across the surface of the brightly glowing orb and underneath the watchful gaze of the moon a single Shinigami dashed across the rooftops of Seireitei. As he leapt from one roof to another his silhouette would be briefly shown against the luminescent backdrop of the moon. The Shinigami's name was Hitsugaya Toshiro and where he was rushing off to, well not even he was sure of that, but he did know that at that moment he looked quite impressive. The glow from the moon caught his snow white hair and made it shine brighter than ever, a beacon in the darkness. His white haori streamed out behind him and fluttered in his wake. Yes he definitely looked most impressive, then, suddenly, where his foot should have met roof it felt only air and he just had time for the thought "Oh shit!" to pass through his head before he was falling. Toshiro hit the ground hard with aloud thump and even though he was quite dazed and confused he was sure he heard the sound of someone sniggering quietly. He looked up and around, rubbing the back oh his head as he did so, that fall had really hurt. Toshiro groaned inwardly as the mysterious person was revealed, of all the people who could have seen this mortifying incident it just had to be this man.
"How's it goin' Shiro-chan, tha' was quite a tumble ya took there. Ya sho yer okay?"
Oh how Toshiro loathed that ever present smirk and those hidden eyes, how could the man even see with his eyes closed like that. A vein bulged visibly on the little captain's head,
"It's Hitsugaya-taichou!", he yelled, and in a somewhat quieter voice he added, "I'm fine"
"If ya say so, Shiro-chan" Ichimaru said slowly and deliberately with that grin still plastered across his face.
Toshiro let out a low growl but let it pass, the idiot got pleasure out of annoying him so he was not going to give him the satisfaction of seeing just what a good job he was doing. Turning on his heel he started to stalk away only to hear Gin's light footsteps following him.
"Hey wait up Shiro-chan. I don' think ya should be walkin' home yoself after hittin' ya head so hard.
"Honestly I'm fine"
"Na, na, I can't let ya walk all tha way back yoself now, can I? Nope I'll jus' hafta walk with you. There's no way I could call mysel' a responsible adult if'n I let a little kid like yoself walk home in the dark 'specially if he jus' banged his head."
"I am not a little kid, I can take care of myself and I don't need or want any assistance from you!" Having shouted this at the top of his voice Toshiro was now, quite understandably, out of breath and therefore couldn't respond to what Gin said next.
"Aw, Shiro-chan don' be like tha'. I wanna help, honest"
Being too out of breath to reply Toshiro couldn't say that he couldn't care less whether Gin wanted to help or not because Gin was the last person on earth he would ever ask for help and even then he might just not bother and let whatever was going to happen that would make him even contemplate asking for Gin's help just happen.
"Oh, good, Shiro-chan ya didn't get mad, that means I can call ya that from now on. Right?"
Toshiro ground his teeth together but didn't bother dignifying him with a response. Unfortunately for him Gin seemed to take that as a yes and proceeded to skip around the young captain singing,
"Toshiro, Toshiro, Shiro, Shiro, Shiro-chan." at the top of his voice.
Said Toshiro clenched his hands into fights with his nails digging into his palm so fiercely that he drew blood, clenched his jaw, ground his teeth and growled but it seemed Gin still didn't get the message and just kept singing. Finally Toshiro snapped, they were almost at the tenth division barracks anyway, he had a killer headache from his fall and Gin's out of tune singing was only making it worse.
"Shut the fuck up!" he screamed at Gin.
Gin stopped singing and cocked his head to look at Toshiro, he would almost have looked confused if it wasn't for that grin plastered across his face.
"Hm, wassa matter Shiro-chan" Gin asked, the mock bemusement clearly evident in his voice.
"Stop singing and leave me alone!" Then making an attempt to get his temper under control he added in a quieter voice, "Besides we're almost back, I can see the entrance to the barracks from here, so it's fine or you to leave me now."
"All right Histugaya-taichou, I'll leave you alone now."
Toshiro's mouth dropped open, Gin was going to leave him alone, just like that, no, he couldn't believe that, there had to be a reason. What was he plotting in that foul little mind of his? There had to be an ulterior motive to this, he just had to figure out what it was.
Meanwhile Gin was enjoying the effect that his words had had on the young captain and taking advantage of both his open mouth and wandering attention, swept down and gently pressed his lips to Toshiro's. His ever present grin grew wider as he felt Toshiro start with surprise and reflexively closed his mouth or tried to. However, he was already to late as Gin's tongue was at that very moment exploring the boy's mouth. Toshiro didn't know what to do, he had never been kissed before and he certainly hadn't expected his first kiss to be from this man, hell he hadn't expected it to be from any man. He was straight after all, well as far as he knew anyway, he had never really thought about it before and know probably wasn't the right time to be getting distracted by thoughts like this. He snapped out of his reverie and concentrated on the man before him again, he was still kissing him, and Toshiro found that he still didn't know what to do and that as time went on he was actually beginning to enjoy the kiss. He loved the taste of the other man's tongue when I brushed against his own, the sweeping motions he made against the roof of his mouth and the way that tongue delved into all the deepest recesses of his tongue. Then a thought interrupted his pleasure, didn't Gin need air to breathe, after all the kiss had been going on for a while now, wait didn't he, Toshiro, also need to breathe in order to survive. With that thought in mind he finally started struggling to free himself from the other man's lips. When Gin finally broke the kiss he laughed as Toshiro immediately doubled over, hands on knees, gasping for oxygen. Gin of course had remembered to breathe through his nose and at the present time he was feeling quite smug about that. Yoshiro finally manages to gather enough air to wheeze out one single word.
"Why?"
Gin just looked at him,
"Why? Because I can."
And with that Gin disappeared into the night leaving a shaky and rather confused captain Histugaya to make his way back to the tenth squad barracks and his bed, where he fell into a deep sleep as soon as his head touched the pillow. His last thought before he fell asleep was that he would never be able to look at the third squad captain again without blushing.
