Annoyingly Smitten

By .x

HEY HEY PEEPS! I'm back with a short story that popped into my head during my lessons today when I did nothing but work (ahem... play tunes). Hope you likes it, ByaRen pairing, Yaoi which is boyxboy so don't like it then don't read it, ne? It is also OOC and I added in some shit that we all know ain't true so yeah.

Disclaimer: I do not own Bleach (T_T) nor any of the characters.

Two : Flashback

It was at the end of the Rukia execution fiasco, I had sighed in relief as I had found out that my taichou would be fine. As much as I disliked the man I needed him alive, it was so I could surpass him one day, my vow to myself would be fulfilled then and I'd be happy.

A breeze wafted by carrying on it the delicate scent of Sakura. I froze as I then felt the familiar wave of reiatsu wash over mine as it swept into the clearing. My taichou, damnit! I looked like shit at the moment, well most likely anyways.

Turning around to face the man I could feel my heart speed up at the sight of him, the way it had with my last boyfriend, the one who I'd had to act as if it had never happened with. Nobody knew of the scandal; me and Tousen, it was like it never existed. That's how it had always been and it hurt like fuck, but why was my heart doing the same thing for Kuchiki-taichou. Why did my heart feel like he could heal it, why?

"Taichou?" I asked politely, keeping my voice low. After all it was nearly midnight, I must have been out here for hours, he probably needed paperwork with my signature. Sighing I resigned myself to my fate and my strange heart. "I'll go do the work you need taichou. Gomen"

"No. wait."

"What? Taichou?"

"Were you romantically involved with one of the three traitors Abari?"

My heart and body froze. How the fuck did he know! "NO! I'm not gay. Good night taichou" my voice was laced with venom, he needed never to know about me. However, when I glanced at him, the hurt was evident and poorly concealed. "Gomen" I said as I walked past.

In my quarters I fell face-first onto my bed and as I admitted defeat and let sleep take me, the image of my taichou came to mind. "I think I love you Byakuya-dono" I muttered. That night all I dreamed of was him and so it carried on like that for many nights, I obviously refused to believe it at all.

It took me two years to finally believe it. Even then I was cautious, I acted like I always did and was just me but in the end I was only human. I slipped up sometimes, I'd done that today and it hurt.
