Chapter 9: Drunken Heart

Shunsui didn't particularly care for rain. That's why currently he was shunpoing as fast as he could, which was exponentially faster than other shunpo-users, in order so no raindrop would be able to touch him. And it was working.

Nanao was outside Sereitei, he could tell. She was upset enough to not be able to suppress her reiatsu completely.

And then he saw her lying at the edge of some woods, on the wet, wet grass letting the rain pour down on her. His breath hitched in the first moment because he thought something had happened to her to make her look like dead but her reiatsu was flaring as always. He stepped up to her until he stood at her head and leaned down over her and saw that she had her eyes closed.

As soon as the raindrops over her face stopped, Nanao opened her eyes.

"What are you doing here?! Can't you leave me alone? Just once?" She asked in a defeated voice.

"I fear I cannot, most beautiful Nanao-chan, you see, this concerns the both of us, not only you which means that we do this together."

"This is stupid; we should just forget everything and do as if nothing has happened." Nanao said in a small voice, not looking at him.

"How did I know you would say that?" Shunsui muttered and let himself fall onto the wet and soggy grass next to her.

"See Nanao, this is where it gets serious. You agreed to at least try a relationship with me and you can't just take that back at the first sign of trouble. I love you Nanao, I told you, and I care about what happens between us. Do not let something like this destroy what we could have." He said solemnly.

Her taicho solemn was rare. It just showed that Nanao still had a lot to learn about him. The thing was she wanted to be with him but she thought she shouldn't.

It was raining heavily but it was still quite warm in Soul Society for the time of year. It had been hot enough today that the rain hadn't been able to make it cold, yet.

But she knew that the rain would have a calming influence on her thoughts. She didn't want to deal with what had happened today, she didn't even want to think about the fact that Soul Society now knew about her relationship with her taicho. Everything was doomed.

Theoretically she had known that they couldn't keep it quiet for forever but she thought they could keep it a secret at least for a little while longer, until she was sure that she really wanted to try relationship with him and knew for a certainty that they really fit together and could overcome all troubles.

"I don't want to think about punishments and repercussions anymore. I just want everything to be …easy. I just want it to…be. Does that make sense?" Nanao asked, leaning her head in the direction of her taicho and looking at him with intense eyes.

Then they were both still and looked at the dark grey sky, letting the rain wet their clothing until it was soggy and stuck to their skins. Although the rain pelted onto the earth in nature's rhythm, it was quiet all around them

As if coming to a decision Nanao sat up determinedly and took off her glasses and hairclip and deposited them somewhere in the near vicinity. Her hair was heavy from the rain and even a bit muddy from the earth she had laid on.

Then she began to unfasten the obi around the middle of her uniform and Shunsui just now noticed Nanao's efforts.

"What are you doing?" He asked bewildered.

Nanao didn't answer until the obi was loose at her side and her uniform gaped invitingly.

"What does it look like?" She asked in a neutral voice.

"Well, from this angle it looks like you're taking off your clothes." Shunsui didn't know what to think. Couldn't think. Couldn't hope.

Nanao had just managed to pull the ends of the upper part of her uniform out from underneath her pants and left them to hang enticingly over her breasts.

"Oh, what gave you that idea?" Nanao asked saucily.

"Temptress." Shunsui moaned with a glitter in his eyes. He sat up, grabbed her hakama and pulled her leg over both of his until she straddled him. Now they were eye to eye and Nanao's breath hitched as she felt his muscled legs underneath hers. Shunsui lay back with his hands behind his head.

"So my lovely Nanao-chan, what are you going to do now?" He challenged.

Nanao didn't think, didn't want to and just let her body and her feelings guide her. Being so near to him or rather on top of him she felt her body heat, her blood racing through her veins and her heart pounding. The rain and the humid air didn't help matters. It felt entirely too good.

She ripped the straw-hat from his head, not bothering to be gentle and started to tear at his clothing. His two haori were easy enough to dispose of but since his uniform was heavy from the water and stuck to his skin it was very difficult to get him unclothed and the lazy bastard didn't even try to help her. Well, then she had to take matters into her own hands and suddenly her hands were glowing with kido and she simply dissolved his Shinigami uniform from his body.

"Careful with that." Shunsui stated heavily.

"I know how to use my kido." Nanao announced boldly.

"I didn't say you couldn't." Shunsui said innocently.

The top of his Shinigami uniform was gone by now and his pants were also in the course of dissolving seam by seam quickly.

"I seem to be at a disadvantage," he said looking at his state of undress. Nanao was still wearing all her pieces of clothing but not for very much longer, Shunsui swore. At the moment he couldn't ask if she was sure about this because he couldn't and wouldn't stop now.

Nanao just stared at his beautiful and manly body. He was so big and sculpted that she felt she had to memorize every inch. The rain made his skin slick and it poured in little rivulets over his muscles. He was tanned all over which told her that his skin colour was naturally darker than others. His chest was lightly furred and her fingers itched to bury themselves into it. His legs were powerfully formed and his cock was beautiful. Aroused it was thick and long.

But she didn't have time for a longer inspection of his body because with a swift and elegant movement he slid the top of her uniform off her and was undoing her pants with his clever fingers, not once glancing at what his fingers were doing. Nanao leaned down until her wet hair dribbled onto his face and she breathed in his extraordinary scent that was uniquely him.

Shunsui put his hand on her cheek and stroked back her hair to be better able to look deeply into her eyes. What he saw there reassured him and he lowered her head to his until her lips touched his.

The kiss got deep very quickly, both feeling the violence of the elements around them, igniting them. The rain hammering down upon their bodies, the wind urging them on and the earth beneath accommodating them.

With a swift movement he reversed their positions until he was on top of her. Both were completely naked by then except for the water of the rain that made their bodies slick, and the muddy earth already smeared on their bodies.

Nanao was struck once again by the fact of how big he actually was.

Just at that moment Shunsui was considering how small Nanao was without her clothes. How dainty and slender and… beautiful. It was astonishing to see her naked without anything to distract from her beauty.

She was so petite in comparison to him. Well, pretty much everybody was petite in comparison to him but her especially. He just always forgot because she had such a strong personality and such a fierce character. But now, feeling her underneath him was just so perfect.

He was thanking God that he wasn't drunk and could enjoy every single moment of this.

He leaned into her neck and inhaled deeply, "Ah, Nanao, you smell like a flower meadow."

"Well, it could be because we are in one."

Shunsui didn't respond to her breathy smart-aleck answer and pressed his hips heavily into hers and she could instantly feel all of him pressed heavily against her. And he was so aroused. By her. Somehow that still astonished her. Nanao wanted this. God how she had longed for this.

"Hmm, Nanao, you're heaven." Then he descended and planted his lips on hers.

Nanao couldn't think, couldn't breathe and couldn't move. The warm and muddy earth beneath her squished with every movement deliciously and the rain made everything even more slippery.

He had both of his hands stemmed against the earth next to her head and held himself above her but soon enough he lay his hands masterfully against her body.

Her naked hips were the first to experience his touch. Then he glided up her ribs and he deepened the kiss and touched her breasts simultaneously. Nanao was about ready to self-combust. His powerful hands massaged her breast and let his fingers tickle over her nipple. They stiffened unbearably and Nanao couldn't believe what such a small touch could do to her body.

Shunsui and Nanao were totally unaware of their surroundings and just concerned with each other.

Nanao put her hands around his head and arched herself against him. His hand slid under her back, over her ass and then down her smooth leg until he came to her knee.

"Put your legs around me." He whispered huskily into her ear.

And she followed his instructions. Both groaned at the contact of their naked bodies at their most intimate places.

He laid his other hand on her cheek and let it glide into her hair where he grabbed her hair a bit roughly to get a better angle for his kiss. She gasped huskily and he deepened their kiss instantly.

Nanao wasn't inactive either. She let her hands glide into his wet hair and opened his tail throwing his hair pin somewhere and let her hands sink into its wet yet silky length, then let her hands wander further down over his wet back and stimulated him with her nails.

They were in a frenzy to touch and kiss and nibble and bite. Somehow she managed to be on top and straddled him. He got hold of her hips which were quite muddy and let his muddy hands caress her body, drawing on her with the dark mud. Nanao leaned over to kiss and bite tenderly at his nipples then further down to his hip bones letting her tongue slip into his navel for only a second which elicited a harsh groan from him.

As soon as she was about to get even more daring in her nibbling he lost all reason and swiftly pinned her body underneath his and entered her. Nanao gasped for air because he was nearly too big to take in one thrust.

He grabbed one of her legs and put it again against his hip which enabled him to go even deeper inside her. An electric shock went through Nanao's body and she cried out. She clawed into his back and their lips did more biting than kissing while he moved forcefully into her. Always touching her, stroking her insides and giving her pleasure which she could never have imagined possible.

"Nanao." Shunsui said her name like a benediction. At last they were doing this right! Shunsui still couldn't comprehend that he was inside his Nanao. Finally.

He began to stimulate her with his fingers at the point where they were joined and Nanao felt little shocks zing through her body. The surroundings crackled with reiatsu emissions and Nanao could feel the enormous heat run over her body in shocking waves.

When they came, it was together.

They were both breathing heavily and now they were not only wet because of the rain but also because of their activities.

Shunsui rested his whole weight on one of his hands next to her head and she could see the tremor running through the limb. The other still gripped her leg tightly against his hip. She knew there would be bruises later.

Nanao was panting in bliss and wondered how she could have stayed away from her taicho for so long.

And Shunsui was only thinking that he loved the rain.

xxxoxxx

They stayed unmoving until they recovered and it was only then that they noticed the mud and grass all over their bodies and they laughed.

"By the gods, Nanao. Tell me again why we haven't done this before now?" He said smiling and got to his back next to her.

Nanao wrinkled her nose because as soon as he got off of her the rain started to pelt against her again.

"Well, actually we did that before. We just can't remember. What are we doing now?" Nanao asked in short order, "We look like mud monsters and are wet through and through." When Shunsui smiled devilishly at the word wet, she hit him in his ribs. "This isn't funny. How are we supposed to get back to the Division?"

"Well, we walk back, what else?" Shunsui couldn't be happier at the moment.

"How will we do that with our wet clothes and mud everywhere?"

"We'll just hold our heads high and don't care what everyone else thinks."

Nanao just sighed. This wouldn't be easy for her but if her taicho could do it then so could she. Just at that moment the rain stopped and both laughed again. Nanao leaned over him and settled her head onto his muddy chest. Shunsui put his hand onto her head and massaged her wet and muddy head tenderly.

"You know we should try this in a bed the next time." Nanao said softly with her eyes closed.

Shunsui just laughed.

Nanao shivered and realized that she was really getting cold.

Shunsui elevated his head and looked down at her, "Are you cold, Nanao-chan? Because I think the air is freezing." He said good-naturedly. It was still only spring and the cold hadn't abated fully, yet.

Nanao just nodded and both got up to look around for their clothing. Nanao found her soggy uniform swiftly but Shunsui had a harder time. He was able to find his two haori but he was only able to find shreds of his uniform. He looked at her pointedly and Nanao blushed.

"I'm sorry." She mumbled.

"I'm not." He answered happily and Nanao sighed exasperatedly.

He pulled his captain's haori tightly around his naked body and pulled his soggy flower haori negligently over it. Finished he looked a sight, Nanao thought. His hair and face muddy, his two haori wet and his naked legs were also full of mud and grass. He was holding his straw-hat in his hand for once, having stuck his little hairpin into the straw.

Nanao just couldn't stop laughing and pointing at him. Shunsui huffed good-naturedly and said, "Well, I want to see you laughing when you see yourself." That put a stop to her laughing, "Uh, If I look even half as sad as you, I'm a fright and don't even want to see myself until I'm showered." And then she began to pull her uniform on, grimacing at the cold and wet feel of it.

When they were both clothed and Nanao had found her glasses and hairclip they made their way back to the Division. It was only now that Nanao began to feel the aches in her body. But she didn't let that hinder her movements and she walked beside her taicho …happily, if she had to describe it. He had put one arm lazily around her shoulders and she was astonished that it felt good.

It felt so very comfortable. Not forced or anything, as if he had held her like this a thousand times before. They had matched their steps to each others, walking in perfect synchrony, in harmony. And her eyes started to burn at the perfect feel of this moment. Shunsui pressed her tighter against his body as if he knew what she was thinking and she smiled a tender smile at him which he returned wholeheartedly.

They didn't use shunpo to get back to their Squad Building. They walked at a leisurely pace. Both wet and muddy and not noticing, or at least not paying attention to all the looks they got on their way.

As soon as they arrived at the headquarter of their Division they passed countless Shinigami who had it seemed been alerted of their arrival and had huddled together at the gates to the 8th Division, not even pretending to be doing anything else. They gaped as soon as they saw their superiors wet, muddy, completely mussed and the taicho had his arm around the fukutaicho and she wasn't protesting but Shunsui and Nanao didn't say a word or even looked at them as they headed straight to Nanao's quarters and then they went into them together.

Quiet had descended upon the assembled Shinigami during the arrival of their taicho and fukutaicho but as soon as the two vanished into the fukutaicho's quarters all hell broke loose.

"Oh my God, I can't believe I just did that!" The words exploded from Nanao's mouth as soon as the door was closed behind them.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God!!" Nanao didn't seem to be able to stop.

Shunsui just laughed. And Nanao turned on him, "This is not funny! Ah, where is my book when I need it?" Nanao asked looking around her quarters for her ever trusty book and remembering that it was still in a drawer in her office desk.

Shunsui didn't seem too troubled. He just kissed her temple and let his arm fall from around her shoulder. Strangely enough, Nanao missed the weight instantly.

"Ah, Nanao-chan, you're too cute when riled. Come let's shower or we'll both be sick tomorrow. Hm, but then again it wouldn't matter if I didn't go into the office but my lovely Nanao-chan would be sorely missed by her loyal Squad and taicho."

Nanao blanched. Help her but she had forgotten that she would have to face the Shinigami tomorrow.

"Don't worry about it now," Shunsui whispered," We're going to shower now." And with that he pushed her into her bathroom but Nanao balked because she had a new problem now. She couldn't just go into the shower with her taicho, Shunsui, … argh,…him. It felt too strange.

"Ah,yes…I- my shower is too small for two especially if one is so large like you, Shunsui." She tried to get out, "I will boil us water for some tea, please use the shower first."

Shunsui just looked at her and then he smiled, "Oh, my precious Nanao-chan is shy." He sing-songed. "But I insist that you shower first then. I'd not be a gentleman if I let a young lady stand in wet and cold clothes while I had a hot shower."

Nanao just rolled her eyes put walked further into the bathroom nonetheless just to come out a moment later to press two big blue towels into his hands and without another word she vanished back into the bathroom.

Shunsui smiled and put one towel onto the wooden floor and then began to take off his wet clothes and piled them on top of the towel on the floor. Soon enough Shunsui was standing naked and looked down on himself. He really was a sight. Earth and grass chunks were sticking to his body in various places and he also found a little bite mark around his nipple. He touched it and felt a tingle go through his body. He smiled and wanted to shout joyously. At the moment he was deliriously happy and everything else could wait.

He went over to her little kitchen to wash at least his hands and got the worst of the stains and chunks from his body. The second towel was soon slung over his hips negligently.

Looking at the kitchen he thought that he could make himself useful and started to look for some pots.

xxxoxxx

Nanao came out of the bathroom with steam billowing behind her and the first thing she noticed was the amazing smell in the air. She closed her eyes and inhaled. Just to open her eyes a second later when soft lips touched hers tenderly. Nanao was so surprised that she jerked back and looked up at Shunsui. "Uh, you surprised me!"

"You looked so adorable, I couldn't resist." Shunsui answered with a gleam in his eyes.

"What smells so deliciously?" Nanao asked looking around his nearly naked body and saw the pots and pans on the stove, cooking away and emanating heavenly smells.

"Ah, I've been tinkering with some things. I'll just go and grab a shower. Everything is still simmering; you don't have to do a thing."

And with that he vanished into her bathroom.

Nanao was finally feeling like herself again. She was warm and smelled nice again. Her towel dry hair was let down to air dry in the warmth of her quarters and she was wearing her favourite blue silk haori as a bathing robe. She felt wonderful and it seemed that her hungry stomach would be fed soon. The man certainly knew what he was doing, she thought and sneaked over to her kitchenette and lifted some lids. Oh, he was a sorcerer, she thought with wide eyes. She knew exactly what she had had in her fridge and for him to conjure something like this up, wow, just wow.

And when she saw his wet and dirty haoris on the floor on a towel, she was a goner.

Sooner rather than later he stepped out from the bathroom and Nanao sighed at the sight he made. And he was all hers, at least for the time being or until he got bored with her. She shook her head at those thoughts and went to him.

"Here, I've got a haori for you. It's too big for me and I think it will be too small on you but it's dry."

Shunsui just left the towel to slide down his body and reached for the green haori in her hands. Nanao tried hard not to look away in shyness. It was one thing to see him naked when the mood was different but this was so intimate. She felt the haori leave her arms and then suddenly Shunsui grabbed her hips in between his hands and pulled her flush against him; Nanao could feel that he had the haori on but not tied closed.

Shunsui leaned his head on her shoulder and kissed her throat affectionately and sighed. His breath tickled her skin and she put her hands softly around his head while he slid his arms around her waist, just hugging each other and feeling warm.

"I can't believe that we're here like this, Nanao." Shunsui whispered against her skin. Nanao nearly laughed. Wasn't that her line?

"Come, my stomach demands to be fed!" Nanao laughed into his wet hair that smelled like her lilac shampoo.

"Everything for my Nanao-chan." And went to her kitchen. Nanao got out some plates, cutlery and glasses and Shunsui ladled the plates with food. When he put her plate in front of Nanao, she blinked anew. As soon as she tasted the food she moaned. It tasted even better than it looked. Who knew that you could make simple curried rice and some vegetables and have a taste bud-orgasm.

"Oh, you are in the wrong profession, Shunsui." Nanao stated.

Shunsui just laughed, "I've always enjoyed cooking but usually I only cook for myself."

"Why ever? Oh, I see, they would knock down your doors to get to your food. Understandable." She answered mock-seriously.

Shunsui just smiled and took a bite himself. "See now we're having our dinner date, anyway."

"Yes, it seems so." Nanao answered. She didn't want to talk, she wanted to eat!

They ate in companionable silence and once they had finished they put the dirty dishes into her small dishwasher.

As soon as everything was taken care of Shunsui put his arm around Nanao's waist from behind and pulled her back against him onto the couch where they cuddled into each other, not really talking, just absorbing each other, letting their hands caress over each bare body part they could find and mumbling little love words, mostly on Shunsui's side until he could feel her breath evening and her body slacken against his.

He kissed her head and then got them both into her bed where they slept entwined and in peace. Not knowing what the morning would bring, and not really caring.

Ahh, that was cute, wasn't it? Shunsui is just the perfect man, I'd so steal him from Nanao if he was, you know, real. lol
