Disclaimer: I don't own Bleach, or the amazing characters, I just love playing around with them. :) Oh, and I know it pretty much sucks, I'm sorry. I wanted Renji to be portrayed as sensitive for once. Poor Renji gets a bad rap!
The sparkle in his eye always gives him away

I know to take two steps to the left when I see it

Otherwise I'd be charged and tackled to the ground

I knows that the twitch beneath his right eye means he's thinking of something unpleasant

And I know how to put up with his overzealous front

Because he can't stand bringing people down.

I know that when he flares his nostrils, he's mentally counting to ten and waiting for it to pass

"Anger's not good for the soul," he says

I know that the way he chews his lip means he's nervous

And that an arm around his shoulder calms him enough to make the biting stop

I know that when he rubs his earlobe he's far away in thought and there are no words to bring him back

So I wait for him

I know his cheeks only flush when he's embarrassed for someone else

So I try to keep the rouge from appearing on my behalf

But when I see the twitch in his lip, the one that always leads to his smile

The only thing I can do is sit back and let myself fall in love with him all over again
