Title: First Time
Inspiration: Real life? Imagination? Song? I ain't saying...
Pairings/Characters: Urahara x Aizen
Warning: BL
A/N: An excerpt adapted from my other fic 'First Contact'. You'll realize I do a lot of self-promotion :)
Aizen pushed away, horrified.
Urahara sat up, his face more inscrutable than usual.
Aizen rubbed across the back of his mouth. The smell of expensive sake hung in the air; their indulgence had clearly knocked both of them out.
"I-I-I'm sorry," Aizen stammered. Somehow the dark-haired student managed to get to his feet. "I'm... I'm sorry."
When he reached the bathroom he vomited. After he washed the filth away and rinsed his mouth, he looked into the mirror and stiffened. "Kisuke."
"Sousuke," said the blond, his eyes still unreadable. Neither moved for a long beat.
Aizen was the first to break eye contact. "I'm sorry."
"You said that already," Urahara remarked, very unlike the swaggering valedictorian he usually portrayed.
"I still am."
Urahara stepped into the bathroom and placed his hands gently on the rigid shoulders of his roommate. "Why did you do that?"
"I don't know." His admission was touchingly confused."It felt right."
"We've never gotten along... I never understood why not, we're so very similar," Urahara whispered, his hands now daring to move to Aizen's lean waist, where they had ached to land years before this moment, "and it appears we're more similar than I had previously believed."
"What?" Aizen's gaze jerked to the mirror and was captured by Urahara's starving gaze.
As Urahara timidly turned Aizen about and even more timidly pressed his mouth to the other, he murmured, "I'm also sorry. I should have done this years ago."
"Years?" Aizen's voice was muffled as he returned the embrace. "Y'mean..."
"I'm not who I appear to be, Sou. I just wanted you to notice me."
Aizen was charmed. "So all that brash, cocky confidence was put on? For me?"
"You're a very confident person, Sou, and I was scared. If only I knew how to approach you..."
Urahara was cut off mid-speech; Aizen opened his mouth and they finally kissed properly for the very first time, in a darkened dormitory bathroom.
