Summary: Renji wonders if he should dare to get closer.

XXXXX

Just two centimeters away is a line I'm not sure I should cross. But if I just bend my head a little lower I could be starting something wonderful, if he'd let me. For it'll be the first time I initiated the contact between us.

He's always been the one to start these things before, usually by trailing his long fingers across my cheek. Then he replaces his fingers with soft warm lips, grazing across that same skin. More often than naught, that leads to our lips meeting, as I'm finally invited to join in. Of course that normally leads into much more, yet he is always in the lead, leaving me to only follow.

But now there's this. Right now I finally have the chance to change that, and it's all just two centimeters away. I look into his blue eyes that are staring into mine. I'm not exactly sure what I'm trying to see in them but I keep searching. For a moment I think I see a challenge in those clear blue eyes, to prove I'm worthy enough to make the move. I'm not one to back down from a challenge and my resolve is set. It's time to close that distance, to meet what's waiting for me two centimeters away.
