Byakuya looked down on Renjis sleeping form

Byakuya looked down on Renjis sleeping form.

If the idiot just hadn't decided to betray the 13 squads to save Rukia, he would not be in this situation…

Neither of them would…

He brushed a hand over Renjis hair and bent down, breathing in Renjis familiar scent, wich was mixed with the sweet scent of blood.

"Tai-cho?"

Byakuya glanced at the redhead. Renjis eyes were wide, and he stared at his captain in shock.

Byakuya ignored Renjis questioning stare and gazed towards the blocks of wood around Rejnis wrists.

Renji felt Byakuyas hands tangle into his hair, and he locked eyes with the older shinigami.

Did he look… sad…?

"Taicho… What is it?"

Byakuya balled his hands into fists, still holding onto Renjis red locks. He saw Byakuyas lips move. "What?"

"Idiot…" Byakuya murmured. "Idiot, idiot, idiot…" He repeated the word like a mantra, burying his face in the others clothes.

Renji looked up towards the ceiling. "Why'm I an idiot, all o' a sudden?"

Byakuya glared at Renji. Did he not get it? Was he such an idiot?

Sure, Byakusa had negelected his feelings towards Renji for so long. He couldn't hold it in any more.

A lonely tear silently fell from the stoic mans eye.

Renji tried to move a hand, but thanks to the handcuffs, he couldn't do anything.

Byakuya slipped a hand into Renjis, much to the redheads surprise. The head of the Kuchiki-family was acting odd, to say the least.

"Tai-" Renji fell filent. After all, it's pretty hard to speak when someone is pressing his lips against yours. Specially when the person in question is kissing you with such a heat and passion.

"Shut up. You'll tell none about my visit. Understood?"

Renji nodded. "Y-yea…"

Byakuya stood once more and exited the cell, walking back to the 6th squad and his office.

Damn it!
