Disclaimer: - Maybe I do own Bleach, how would you know if I didn't! OK, so I don't, sue me…… Wait, please don't)
Notes: - Well here I am, in the middle of the night, deciding to take a leap and write a story I've wanted to write for a while. I know there are many, much better RenjixByakuya fics, but please be gentle with me, I'm a relative novice.
Renji ran his hand under the shower, checking the temperature before stepping under it. He tilted his head back, letting the hot water run through his long, bright hair. He sighed as the jet of water drummed into his neck and shoulders, easing the tension of a hard day's work.
Renji grinned, 'hard day's work.' He guiltily thought of his day wasted, staring at his captain. He couldn't help it, ever since his first day as Kuchiki Byakuya's vice-captain, he'd stared; he couldn't help it. Everything about him was sublime.
The way the proud noble sat so properly, his hand moving fluidly as he did his paperwork. The way his perfect ebony hair cascaded from him kenseikan to partially cover his face. That exquisite face and flawless cheekbones, with those ice-cold eyes that could kill with a look.
And his lips, his delicate, pouty lips. Renji ran his hand down his stomach, grinning slightly at the half erection his thoughts had caused. He sighed and wrapped his fingers around it, imagining his superior's soft lips in their place.
Renji groaned and hardened even more. He began to run his hand up and down, envisioning Byakuya's warm tongue sampling his head before running down the shaft. Renji closed his eyes; gripping harder he allowed himself to fantasize. The older man would tease him mercilessly with his tongue, licking and kissing him before taking his full length into his mouth.
Renji groaned again. Knowing it was only a fantasy but still allowing himself the indulgence. He could almost feel the noble's mouth sucking hard on him, dragging him closer and closer to the edge; before milking him dry as the vice-captain came violently in his mouth.
Renji washed his hands off under the jet of water, finished his shower and got out. It had been a long time since he'd pleasured himself while thinking of the captain. It left his feeling fulfilled yet empty. He still yearned for the real touch of his superior, for him to take him as he'd always dreamed he might.
"Just a dream," muttered Renji. "Nothing more."
Kuchiki Byakuya jerked awake, a film of cold sweat covered his pale body.
"Just a dream," he told himself. "Nothing more."
The nightmares were becoming far more frequent. He didn't like it, he hadn't had them this bad since Hisana died. Not so bad that he would awaken in the middle of the night sweating, afraid to go back to sleep in case those images returned to haunt him.
The young Kuchiki heir slid out of bed and padded off to his bathroom. He felt dreadful, he'd been like this for weeks now. Dark circles underlined his eyes and his usually porcelain skin felt tight and pastey.
Byakuya frowned, splashing water on his face. He knew everyone was looking at him differently, commenting behind his back about how ill he looked. It seemed the only person not to have noticed the change in Kuchiki Byakuya was the one who had caused it. Arbarai Renji, the greenest lieutenant in Seireitei and the object of his desires.
"No!" he told himself firmly. "You can't go down that path again."
After Hisana died, they said he had been left empty inside, that he was incapable of affection. That might not have been literally true, but Kuchiki Byakuya had made himself a promise to never fall in love again, it was just too painful.
That was why the past few weeks had been so difficult. Since the first moment the noble captain saw his new lieutenant, he was captivated. Not just by the young Shinigami's handsome chiseled features (although they were enough to make one stand and stare;) but by his attitude.
The way he swaggered into the office on the first day.
"Mornin Kuchiki Taicho."
It had all been so perfect, that first day. Byakuya had almost cracked a smile, but he saved that rare moment for when he was alone. When he thought about Renji, he couldn't do anything but smile, the younger man just made him happy, there was no other way to describe how he felt around Renji, just happy. That was until the nightmares.
Byakuya had never been a sound sleeper. And when Hisana first got ill he got even less sleep. That was the night of the first nightmare. He thought, after he lost her that they would stop forever. That he would never have to go through that pain again.
But his devastatingly attractive lieutenant had seen off that idea. The captain couldn't stop thinking about him. That hair, those tattoos, those bright consuming eyes. Byakuya shook his head again. It wasn't just the fact that he had banned himself from falling in love again, it was also the fact that he was captian of 6th squad.
"It would be irresponsible," he scolded himself. "I am Renji's captain and he would be disgusted at me if I abused my position in that way."
He nodded finally, and returned to bed to wait out the night until he could return to his lieutenant.
More notes: - I am so, so sorry for the awfulness of my writing. I like to do these sorts of pairings; full of angst. If you want me to keep writing, then post some of those dreaded reviews. Nasty or nice I don't really mind, but try not to make them pointless (because that would be pointless.)
If you don't review, I shall assume that I was right and this story shall be put away on the shelf and ignored whenever we have visitors around for tea.
