Ichigo

Renji grunted as Zabimaru turned back to normal again after his third strike, which had, without a doubt, killed the opposing Hollow.

"Phew…" He said, not one bit out of breath, but wiped his forehead anyway for the effect. He glanced at his watch. "Ah. I need to go!"

Without another word, he sprinted back to Soul Society.

Renji sighed as he finally approached where he'd been heading. It'd gotten fairly dark out now, and he wanted nothing more to crawl into a hole and sleep for a few years.

Silently, he tried to open the door, but it creaked and he ended up shouting at it quietly before tripping over something and falling down at the door, which was still lying wide open. "Ugh… no way… only I could do that..." he cursed before shutting the door with his foot. He stood up slowly and tried to stay quiet, for all the good it would do him now.

He stepped closer to the sleeping figure on the chair at the desk. Apparently they'd fallen asleep on top of some kind of paper work. Next to them lay a bowl of half-eaten, melted ice cream. Renji smiled slightly at the sight before him. It was rare, this sort of thing, nowadays.

Renji cursed as the sleeping figure moved and his eyes fluttered open to gaze at him. "Sorry I'm late…" Renji said.

"Welcome back." Byakuya said softly, then yawned quietly. "I was waiting up… but…" Suddenly he looked confused.

"You must have fallen asleep." Renji laughed, breaking the atmosphere… as usual.

He was rewarded by a quick 'hm'. Byakuya stood up and walked around his desk to clear up the paperwork that had fell on the floor. But, not knowing how tired he was in his state, he tumbled and fell over onto his side. "Ouch… damnit…"

"You're too tired." Renji bent down and stopped Byakuya's hand that was about to pick up the papers again. "Stop."

Byakuya looked up at him. "But if I don't get this done, Yamamoto-sotaicho'll sure be ann-"

Renji shuddered at that. Even Yamamoto-sotaicho's name could scare the living crap out of him alone, never mind seeing him in person. "Well… let me help you here." He sat on his knees and bundled the paperwork together, then glanced at Byakuya, who had been staring at him the whole time and looked away when he'd been caught. Renji smirked. "What?"

"I-it's nothing…" Byakuya's cheeks went slightly pink. "Really."

Renji's eyes widened. "Woah. Are… are you actually blushing? Byakuya Kuchiki actually blushed ! Wow ! What a day !"

"Renji … shut up." He glared. "Now."

"Awww, now he's angry at me." Renji smirked and stood up. "Hey were you actually eating strawberry ice cream ?"

"Maybe I was." Byakuya stood up also. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Renji couldn't hold back anymore and went ahead and kissed his boyfriend, then pulled back, leaving Byakuya stunned for the moment. Renji smirked triumphantly.

Byakuya was definitely blushing this time. If he could, Renji would take a picture.

Renji took advantage of his star struck moment and kissed him again, but this time it was more gentle. Within a few moments, Byakuya was kissing him back slowly. For someone who could beat any other squad captain in a blink, Byakuya was very shy and slow when it came to relationships. It was always something Renji mused over and teased him about.

Renji trailed his tongue over Byakuya's lips and was surprised that he was given entrance this time. Byakuya's mouth opened hesitantly for him to enter.

They kissed for a while. Renji exploring Byakuya's mouth. Without knowing, they'd both sank to the floor and were kissing there now. A few minutes later they parted for breath and looked at one another before Renji began laughing.

"What's so funny?" Byakuya said softly.

"Nothing…" Renji smiled, and leaned in. "It's just… you taste like Ichigo."
