RENJI'S POV
I finally got up out of bed about 2 hours after Ichigo had left. I had called P!nk's agent to make sure that she knew where to go and when they needed her. I rushed about getting everything planned perfectly. I loved to show off, so he always made sure his presents were over the top. I wanted to make sure that Ichigo always felt loved, no matter what he was going through. It was basically my way of thanking Ichigo for what he had done. I used to be a cold-hearted bastard as I liked to call myself. I didn't show any emotion or feel anything until I met Ichigo. But ever since the day when Ichigo asked me out, I started slowly opening up to everyone. I was grateful to Ichigo for that, and I always tried to show it. I smiled as he thought of the last 4 years that we had spent together.
SATURDAY EVENING
I was relaxing on my couch, checking Facebook on my phone. It was the usual nonsense people posted. I started to wonder why I even used it anymore. I was about to turn off my phone when a message came through from Ichigo. "hey ren. Wanna go see a movie?" I smiled and replied "yeah sure. What movie did you have in mind?" a few minutes passed before another message came through. "I'll let you pick this time. Meet u at ur place in a few minutes" I smiled once again as I went to put some clean clothes on. I had just finished getting dressed when I heard someone at the door. I couldn't see a face, as it was blocked by a bunch of flowers in front of it. But when I saw a bunch of flaming orange hair, I knew exactly who it was. "Happy Anniversary Renji." Ichigo said in an excited tone. I was confused by what Ichigo said. "Ichi, our anniversary isn't for another 3 days." Ichigo laughed at me. "I know silly, I just thought I'd give it to you early. I didn't think I'd be able to find flowers like these again." Ichigo said in a loving tone. I looked down at the flowers and blushed. The flowers were the exact same shade of red that my hair was. I looked into Ichigo's eyes and kissed him softly on the lips. "Thank you Ichigo" I whispered in a loving way.
ICHIGO'S POV
5 MINUTES AGO
As I walked round to renji's house, I started to think about their upcoming anniversary. I was worried that Renji would be upset if I only gave him a painting. Even though I had worked hard to create it without Renji knowing, I still felt that Renji would feel sad that I didn't get him a ring or something. I thought back to when I first thought of the idea to paint a picture of me and Renji.
5 MONTHS AGO: THE SCHOOL ART ROOM
I walked down to the art room, which was a small building that was separate from the main school building. It was after school hours so I thought that no one would still be in the art room. He walked up to the door and knocked. "Come in" I heard Shihouin-San call. "Ah, Ichigo. What brings you to my classroom after school. Most students would be rushing to get out of here as soon as the bell rings." I chuckled lightly at that comment. "Yeah, I know that Shihouin-San. But…" "Please, call me Yoruichi. Most of the other students do." Yoruichi interrupted. "um. Ok?" I said a bit awkwardly. "Yoruichi you know Renji, right?" "well of course I do. It's kind of hard not to notice him with that bright red hair of his." I couldn't help but laugh at that. "Yeah I know. But that's one of the reasons I love him." I said, scratching the back of my neck. "Wait, wait. You guys… are a couple?!" My face turned a bright shade of red. "yeah. The whole school knows. How didn't you know?" I said with a hint of confusion in his voice. "I don't listen to school gossip. So anyway, what did you come here for?" Yoruichi asked. "well, in 5 months it will be our 5 year anniversary. And I wanted to do something special for him." I said. Yoruichi looked confused and asked, "And what does this have to do with me?" "Well I wanted to paint a portrait of him and me, kissing under a sunset. So I was wondering if I was able to have 30 minutes after school, once a week, to paint this portrait for him." The room was silent for a while. After an awkward silence, Yoruichi got up out of her seat, walked over to me and placed a hand on his shoulder. "That is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard." Yoruichi said caringly. "of course you can. But it will have to be supervised." "Thanks Shihouin-San. It means a lot to me" I said. "No problem. Now hurry home. I have a lot of work to do." Yoruichi said.
PRESENT DAY
I was getting close to renji's house. I saw a bunch of flaming red flowers in a garden on the side of the path, matching the colour of Renji's hair. I walked over and picked them from the ground and gathered them in a bunch. I smiled at the flowers and continued to renji's house, wondering what movie Renji had picked.
RENJI'S POV
Once Ichigo had arrived at my house, we headed to the movie theatre. I had picked a horror movie for us to go see, as I knew Ichigo got scared while watching them. I was hoping that Ichigo would cuddle up to me if he got scared. During the movie I looked over at Ichigo. He was shaking slightly. I reached out and grabbed Ichigo's hand. "Are you ok Ichigo?" I asked, assuring him that everything was ok. "y.. yeah. I'm f... fine thanks Renji." Ichigo said pulling a fake smile, trying to show me that he wasn't scared. I could tell he was faking because Ichigo was shaking a little more than he was before. We turned back to watch the movie. A few minutes passed and my plan had worked. Ichigo had moved as close as possible to me. I put his arm around Ichigo, held him tight and said "we can leave if you want to. I don't mind." "Thanks Renji." Ichigo said with a slight shake in his voice. I still had my arm wrapped around Ichigo as we left the movie theatre. "You're so cute when you're scared, you know that?" I said as he planted a kiss on Ichigo's lips. "S… shut up r… Renji…" Ichigo said grumpily. I grabbed Ichigo's hand, kissed him on the cheek and walked him back to my house. Ichigo had decided to stay at my house again. As we walked through the front door Ichigo started to walk upstairs. "I'm going to take a shower Ren." he called. I felt a devilish grin come over my face as I thought of a way to give Ichigo a nice surprise. I waited downstairs, listening out for the sound of the shower being switched on. My grin turned wilder as I headed upstairs into the bathroom. I opened the door as quietly as I could, then took my clothes off. I heard Ichigo humming as he washed his hair. It turned me on a little bit. I entered the shower and came up behind ichigo. I realised that I had accidentily scared Ichigo when I received a hard punch to my face from Ichigo. Within seconds I was out cold.
ICHIGO'S POV: 2 minutes ago
"I'm going to take a shower Ren." I called out. I walked upstairs to the bathroom. I turned on the water before taking my clothes off. I hissed as I first entered the shower because of the hot water, but soon got used to it. As I washed my hair, I started to hum one of my favourite songs. I had my eyes closed while I was washing my hair, so I couldn't see someone coming up behind me. As soon as I felt a pair of hands on my waist, I freaked out. I spun around and punched the unknown person in the face. I rubbed and opened my eyes to see an unconscious Renji lying on the floor. "Oh my god, Renji!" I yelled. I jumped out of the shower to see if Renji was ok. "Renji, wake up! Please Renji, wake up! Wake up!" I checked where he had been hit. He seemed ok, although a bruise was already appearing on his face. I dragged Renji's naked body to his bedroom, and put him under the covers.
25 MINUTES LATER
As Renji woke up I ran over to him from the other side of the room. "Oh my god! Renji I'm so sorry! Are you ok?" I yelled straight into Renji's face. "It's ok Ichi. I'm fine." Renji said assuringly. I brought my voice down to a seductive tone. "What were you dreaming about?" I asked as I pointed to a bulge poking up from the blanket. "I hope it was me" I winked at Renji, who was blushing violently. "Might have been." Renji said in a tone that matched my own. Renji called me over to the bed. "Come on" I said while yawning. "Lets go to sleep" I hopped under the covers, cuddled up next to Renji and started to fall asleep. Renji planted a kiss on my shoulder. "Love you Ichi." He said. "Love you too Renji" I replied.
