Renji looked over at Ichigo and weakly grinned. "Hey," he greeted then looked at the ground, a 'mew' caught his attention and looked a little upwards to see that Ki followed Ichigo inside and reached over to pick the kitten up and held her close, her small head brushing against his chin. "Is that guy gone?" Obviously the sound of a loud crash reached his ears but it wasn't metal to skin, it was metal to floor, pretty easy to figure out. Letting out a small exhale of air he leaned against Ichigo and shut his eyes. So warm.
Ichigo sat on a box next to Renji. "No he isn't Though Grimm looks like he'll kick his ass if he doesn't leave soon." He sighed and looked down at the small cat that was now in the other's arms. "Cute cat." He reached over with his other hand to rub gently behind its ears.
Ki purred and moved to get her ears scratched more. Seeing this Renji laughed, "She likes ya. Surprising...usually she doesn't take a liking to someone so easily." He shifted his head to look up at Ichigo. "You had a cat before right? The way you scratched your face yesterday," The redhead looked back down on Ki, "...makes me think you did, or still do." A string of curse words fluttered past and so did the sound of footsteps, making Renji tense then un-tense once they went by.
"You noticed that huh?" Ichigo grinned and looked down at the small feline. "Yeah I had a cat. Hubert was his name. He was a huge cat." The sounds coming from outside the room weren't that promising but no one had burst in so it seemed that they were safe. For now. Looking down at Renji, Ichigo felt a pang at how vulnerable he looked. He wanted to know what had caused this and how that man was involved but he wouldn't pry. I'll let him go at his own pace.
Renji's eyes looked around the room, "For some reason that 'huge' part reminds me of that Garfield character." His lips curled back into a smile then it fell. "'bout that guy you saw in the front..." Ki wiggled out of Renji's arms and moved to lay beside him. "...he thinks...when I was in High School he wouldn't leave me alone..." Renji shifted a little closer to Ichigo. "Rukia asked Grimmjow to take care of it, and we thought he did...but I avoided him. He thinks I like him...I told him there was someone else I liked," Renji frowned, "and he just won't stop."
"Well he was pretty big," Ichigo agreed with a small chuckle but as the subject returned to the mysterious man, his voice took on a serious tone. Eyes flickered down as he watched the space between them shrink. "So he just doesn't know when to quit? No is no." If this guy was harassing Renji…then he would take care of it. Directly or indirectly. "Maybe…. Just maybe he doesn't really understand. I think you should sit down with him and talk about it." He watched the feline's whiskers twitch as it settled down. The hand that was on Renji's shoulder tightened as if to reassure his friend, though he wished for more.
One of Renji's hands grabbed at Ichigo's jacket and tugged lightly. "I did try...only to end up nearly raped," His face fell and looked to the side with half-lidded cherry-colored eyes, "I was pretty dumb that day to take him to a place where they had alcohol, luckily Grimm worked there and saved me." Ki's ears bent back and scooted closer to Renji, reaching a paw out and pawing at his thigh. "Got him fired though for giving Shuuei a bloody nose." His head leaned against Ichigo's shoulder. "...been avoiding him and drinks ever since I got outta High."
"Oh man..." Ichigo paused, his voice lowering, "I didn't know." Now I understand him more. Well some parts. His chocolate orbs gazed at Renji, his hand gripping his jacket as for dear life. "Do you want me to do something?" His free hand went under Renji's chin and lifted his face to look into his eyes. "Do you want me to help?" His gaze was strong and unwavering telling the other that he was there for him.
A gasp had passed Renji's lips once Ichigo grabbed at his chin and blinked, staring at the other before he blinked and looked away. "No...it'll only make things worse," Renji pulled away and Ki, noticing the change in the atmosphere, leapt off the container and out of the room by the small crack and pulled at the door with her orange left paw, surprisingly shutting the door completely. The redhead slowly scooted back with a blush and lifted his right hand to go through his hair. "Grimmjow should have him out of here by now...though I don't want to leave until either he or Rukia tells me." His hand stopped and looked away. "Sounds stupid...being afraid of someone and not really dealing with it."
Ichigo shook his head. "It's not stupid to be afraid." He leaned back on his elbows while sitting on the box and stared at the ceiling. "But I do think you need to deal with it because he'll keep coming back otherwise. He doesn't look like the sort to take no for an answer. Either that or he thinks no magically means yes." Then a lock of hair flopped on his forehead and he angrily stared at it causing him to go a little cross eyed. He blew it out of his face and returned his attention to Renji. A smile curved his lips as the other's hand went through his hair. "You run your fingers through your hair when you are nervous." His smile turned into a grin. "It's cute."
Renji blinked and fell silent, letting his right leg move to plant his foot on the ground, tattooed brows slanted. "You're the first one to notice that," he muttered, "but...I can't talk to him, I don't want too. I thought telling him there was someone else would get through to him but I guess not." He dropped his hand and scuffed his heel into the ground, hands holding onto the box and tightening their grasp. "I hate it," Renji frowned, "thinking I'd never fall for someone and just when I got to working here a bit before getting out of High it happens...not fair."
Blinking rapidly, he looked like an owl who'd just flown into a pair of headlights. "You have fallen for someone?" This was news to him. Another voice in his head argued, Well he did respond to your touches. Yeah but then he practically ran away! After Kon showed and he misunderstood. True... Gah so confusing. Ichigo's hands went to his temples where he rubbed the small bony bumps in little circles.
Renji turned his head to the opposite side so he didn't see Ichigo's reaction, a blush forming on his face. "Yeah," the man mumbled, "it's nothing big...I'm not worried about it anymore. I mean..." He kicked at the ground again and smiled, "he talks to me and he's..." Renji's cheeks flared, looking over at Ichigo for a second then away, hands placed on his knees and curled his fingers to hold onto the fabric tightly.
"Really?" Oh who could this person be?! Wait! He said 'he'! Then it was a guy! Had another been coming along and stealing away his potential lover?!?!?! As these thoughts raced in and around his mind, Ichigo didn't look up so he didn't noticed the looks and blushes sent his way. "And who would this guy be?" An what's his address so I can kick his ass.
Renji looked over at Ichigo and began to fiddle with his hair again. "He's...really nice, though there's some flaws, but we all have ours." A grin made its way to his face. "And...really...protective." Renji moved slowly to get up and his eyes fell halfway shut. "Makes me feel warm and safe for some reason."
"Sounds like a great guy," came a response. Ichigo pouted and sulked about how it wasn't him Renji liked. And I really felt a connection...ah well. "Guess you should probably tell him." Shrugging his shoulders as if it didn't matter to him, he glanced up and looked into Renji's eyes before looking down and sighing. "You look as if you sincerely mean what you say."
"I do mean them," Renji turned and hugged Ichigo, "'cause he's really special." His grasp tightened and moved so he was sitting next to the other man. "Though...I'm kinda scared 'cause he's a little older than me." The redhead looked to the side and blushed before moving and about to press a kiss to Ichigo's lips before the door opened and Rukia stood there panting heavily. "He's gone. Few broken bones, maybe, but he's gone." Her face had a smile and Renji let go of Ichigo to stand and walk over to her, patting her on the head with a grin. "Thanks...if he comes around again...I'll talk to him." "Good, because he was bitching throughout the whole thing until Grimm finally booted him in the ass and out the door."
Renji's reactions and words were even more confusing when he had been puzzling about how to get this other guy out of the picture but when Renji had leaned in closer, a light bulb clicked on in his mind. He must mean me! Doing his mental happy dance, he had to catch himself as he also leaned forward to meet the other's lips but there wasn't any lips to kiss. Eyes having closed, they went open and Ichigo caught himself just as he was about to fall off the box they had been sitting on. Blinking again, he looked over at the door to see Rukia telling his fiery haired friend that the man had left. "Finally."
Renji's eyes went over to Ichigo and then away with a heavy blush. "Okay, lets go and have fun...all this drama's beginning to make me feel like going back home and into bed." He patted her head once more and Rukia simply nodded while turning and leaving, shouting along the way, "Clean up the blood that got on my pan, you blasted kitty!" to receive curse words from a frustrated Grimmjow. The redhead turned to face Ichigo and motioned towards the front. "Ya like brownies right?" he asked with his eyes falling halfway shut and shoving his hands into his hoodie's pockets. "...if not I can make you that chocolate cherry chip frappocino you like."
"Love brownies. I used to bake sometimes and I can make a mean triple chocolate cake." Lips curved into a smile, he walked closer. "But I wouldn't say no to a drink. Or to you for that matter." Winking, Ichigo passed Renji to move into the public part of the Starbucks. Suddenly overcome with the urge to scratch his nose, his hand went up to rub the spot, much like that of a cat, and he wiggled his nose rather like that of a rabbit. "We could stop by my dorm and you could check out the painting. I want your opinion." He watched the scene Rukia and Grimmjow were making and shook his head, smiling. "There is a fine line between love and hate. These two perfectly demonstrate that," he said softly. "I'd like something like that. Only without so much violence."
Renji blushed and moved to follow Ichigo, only to laugh once the other man scratched at his nose again, bending down and reaching a hand out to Ki who had been sitting there with a lazy yawn, tail flicking and leaning her head forward to lick at one of the redhead's fingers. "I'd really like to see it," he spoke, eyes falling halfway shut, "but I dunno if I really trust Ki with those two." His other hand lifted and pointed at the bickering couple. "As you can already see why...they've been like that since Grimm stood up to her when she thought he hurt me when he took me to her place since it was the only place I could think of that was close enough. Ya should've been there...it was so funny." Renji chuckled and stood, Ki purring and turning, walking off like she owned the place, having the redhead laugh again with a nod. "True...violence in a relationship doesn't really sound good to me. Or drama. Settling down with just each other on the couch or somethin' just to talk about their day and whatnot..." The tattooed form's eyes became distant with a soft smile playing at his lips, hands moving out of the pockets to his hoodie and fell limp at his sides. Yeah...that sounded nice, sitting down without worry.
"Yeah," Ichigo smiled and looked at Renji, brown eyes warm. "That's sounds just about right." Maybe this would work out after all. They weren't at each other's throats like the before mentioned couple which was a good sign. He really enjoyed to spend time with him and it seemed those feelings were returned. Mentally sighing, he recalled the earlier episode of uncertainty he'd had and the having figured it out well... Life seemed good. Better, infact, than it had been for some time. As he watched the other reach down and pet the cute, furry animal a part of him was touched by the bound those two shared. Good thing that kitty likes me otherwise getting close to Renji would be hard.
Renji glanced over at the container that held the brownies and quirked a brow. It wasn't there... Oh...oh! That's what they were bickering about now? Must've been knocked over, oh well. Not like he couldn't whip up some good drinks for the day. "Head over there and try to stay away from them, one must've knocked the brownies over." he said, looking over at Ichigo and lifting his left hand to point at the empty spot. "I'll go make some drinks to make them stop thinkin' they upset me." Renji sighed and shook his head, heading towards the end to the left and lifting his hand up to grab at the zipper to his jacket and yank it down, grabbing the flaps and yanking them aside to slip the coat off and tie it around his waist, holding some of his hair and moving it to his left shoulder before getting to work on making the two drinks he knew Grimmjow and Rukia liked, eyes narrowing in concentration while making the other two, one for Ichigo and one for him. An itch on his cheek began to irritate him and swiped his thumb across it, blinking once he felt something soft brush up against his face before shrugging the thought off.
Ichigo watched each movement he made with appreciating eyes. Renji has this grace of sorts when he moved. Not girly by any means but it was like he...glided across the floor without actually touching it. If someone had seen his face they would see hoe enthralled he was. I'd bet he'd be a great dancer. An image of Renji in pink tights and a black leotard popped into his head making him snort with laughter. How utterly amusing! His shoulders began to shake as the hilarity of the picture fully affected him.
"You dumb ass!" Rukia shrieked after being picked up around the waist and kicked her legs while pounding her fists on Grimmjow's back, capturing Renji's attention and stopped moving to let out a frustrated sigh, picking up the finished drinks and heading over with a look of total focus, leaning forward to sip his drink out through a straw with a grin, chewing on the bendy as he set the cups down. "Oi! You two...calm down, here," Renji sighed, motioning towards the drinks as the two stopped bickering and the woman was set down, heading over and picking up their cups and drinking. Grimmjow swallowed and sighed contently, wrapping an arm around Renji's neck and tugging the redhead close. "If I wasn't with Rukia...I'd marry ya, Renji." Renji simply choked on his drink and coughed, beating on his chest and glaring at Grimmjow. "Like hell...if your personality was a little better I'd consider it." the redhead hissed, furrowing his tattooed brows as he took another sip out of his straw. "'sides...you're four years older than me and that'd be creepy if I even thought about it."
Ichigo walked over to the trio and draped an arm around Renji's waist on the side Grimmjow wasn't on. "Well since you are already taken Grimm guess I'd beat you to it." Trying to act innocent, he picked up his drink and sipped at it, his face turning to one of rapture. "You are make awesome drinks Ren." Slyly winking over at Rukia and Grimmjow he began to tickle Renji's side.
Renji blushed as Grimmjow moved with an amused look, "Ah...Ren's finally got his lil' sweetheart." "Shut up, Grimm!" Renji pouted, biting down on the straw and squirming a bit as Ichigo tickled him and moved a hand away from the warm liquid container to grab at Ichigo's hand, a small laugh passing his lips. "S-stop..." Rukia smiled at this and looked at Grimmjow, pointing at the mistletoe above the doorway. Nodding, he went and got it, heading back as Rukia had returned from the back with a...fishing pole for some reason, tied the holly on the end and climbed to stand on the counter, leaning the decoration over Renji and Ichigo's heads. "Mistletoe," the couple sang. Renji flushed and coughed. Come on! That was the third time so far! Evil...bastardous...friends. "Kissy, kissy," the blue haired man teased. "I'm gonna kill you..." Renji muttered, holding onto the cup tightly.
An eyebrow slightly raised with lips tugging as he tried to conceal a smile, Ichigo stopped tickling Renji. Withdrawing the straw from between his lips, he set it on the table. "Don't be mad at them." Amused brown depths twinkled as he turned to face the man who had revealed his crush on him. Slowly leaning forward, he whispered into his fiery vixen's ear. "Let's give them a show." He pulled back and cast a beseeching look at him, chocolate eyes warm.
Renji blushed and nibbled on his lower lip, "You're dirty," he whispered, leaning forth as the other two held their breath, Rukia sneaking a hand into the pocket of her polka-dotted skirt, slightly pulling out her phone while Grimmjow leaned back against the counter with a wide grin. This should be good, really good.
Eyes closing slightly, Ichigo smiled. "Gotta love that about me," he answered in a low tone. He leaned forward to meet Renji as he also leaned towards him. His free hand went to rest gently on Renji's cheek as he started to chastely, at first, kiss Renji.
Renji inwardly sighed at that, mentally rolling his eyes as he shut them, one of his hands moving and wrapping the arm around Ichigo's neck. Rukia almost squealed at how her red haired friend wasn't backing away for once and pulled her phone out automatically, flipping it open and rushing to the recording option. Oh, yes, she sooo won the bet with Hinamori and also with Renji. Ah, she'd get Renji in that outfit later. The blue haired man shifted to sit in a chair, sipping at his drink, eyes narrowing to Renji's hand looking like it wanted to release the cup and leaned forward, taking it then backing up quickly as that arm moved around Ichigo's neck as well. The man pouted though...Rukia had smashed his phone a few days earlier when they had a...'fight'.
One eyelid cracking open to view the other's expressions, he almost laughed when he saw Rukia recording this. Wonder what she's going to get out of it. He also saw the put out expression on Grimmjow's face. Poor guy... Rukia must have murdered his phone otherwise I bet he'd be recording this, too. Practically to give Rukia more material to tease Renji with later but also wanting to get back at his now spectacular boyfriend, Ichigo nibble don a pink lower lips before letting his tongue dart out to probe for entrance.
Renji parted his lips and moved closer, hands grabbing at Ichigo's jacket and feeling his cheeks steam. Right...under mistletoe being hung by a freaking fishing pole...his two friends probably watching with amused features. Ah, shit! Now he'd have to suffer Rukia's teasing and that...outfit he said he'd only wear if the raven found someone he really liked and put them under holly. Renji bit lightly at Ichigo's tongue as Rukia's eyes beamed, squirming in her seat as Grimmjow sighed, taking the fishing pole out of her hands so she could stop the shaking of her phone from joy.
A low groan was emitted from Ichigo's throat as his tongue was bitten if only lightly. Man Renji sure wasn't a newbie at this and if he was...he had great intution. The hand that was placed on Renji's cheek went to thread fingers through the free swaying locks. He teased the pink muscle, twisting his own around and trailed along teeth while tugging on the hair grasped in his ink stained fingers.
The redhead whined and moved his hands to the front of Ichigo's jacket, tugging at it with his tattooed brows slanted from bliss, easily forgetting the torture he'd receive from Rukia and teasing from Grimmjow. He tilted his head a bit and had his tongue move against Ichigo's slightly before pulling it away shyly, letting out a surprised gasp once his hair was tugged at.
Smirking into the kiss, Ichigo tugged at the fiery locks again. He used the opportunity to thoroughly explore and memorize the unique taste that was Renji. Hot like cinnamon but there was just a hint of something else... He could describe it in words alone. It was like nothing he had ever tastes before. Wanting to savor more of this sensuous taste, he not only explored but devoured him.
Renji's hands shook and pressed forth with his eyes opening slightly, hazed over and distant, moaning softly before Rukia saved the file and snapped her phone shut, shooing the holly away. "Before you two start making out, I'm borrowing Renji for a few minutes then you can go back to your kissing session!" she declared, hopping off the counter and grabbing hold of a protesting Renji and dragged him into the bathroom after grabbing the white bag Grimmjow had set on the table earlier. Grimmjow burst out laughing. "N-no, Rukia! Please!!" Renji protested, flailing his arms with a furious blush coming onto his face, and that was the last thing anyone saw before the door slammed shut and clicked, indicating Rukia had locked the doors and screams of horror flowing out.
Standing still, stunned by the sudden departure of his kissing partner and how cold it felt without Renji's body pressed against this. "What just happened?" Ichigo asked ash he turned, blinking in confusion, to a cackling Grimmjow. "Should I know something?" He was just starting to really get into it too! Why did Rukia have to yank him away at that moment?!
"Oh, I'm sure you'll like it," Grimmjow snickered, "Red...not so much." A few more shouted protests and screams came out before the door opened and revealed a rather pissed and embarrassed Abarai. His outfit had been changed, a red plaid dress, white apron-like thing wrapped around his waist like that of Alice in Wonderland, a red bow tie holding some braided hair, white stockings with equally white girly shoes like that of a doll's. Oh, yes...he so hated this season now. A triumphant Rukia waltzed out with the bag that previously held the dress was now holding Renji's clothes and plopped down in the seat next to Grimmjow, who was grinning a mile-a-minute. "They had this thing going on that if Renji kissed someone he liked under the mistletoe...he'd dress up for her. And obviously...he doesn't like looking like a doll, as you can tell." "'course I don't!" Renji huffed, crossing his bare arms, the sleeves down to his elbows but held tightly against his skin with a white band. "I hate you all...messed up."
Now Ichigo could only stare at the girly clothes Rukia had dressed Renji in. This was a bet? Gees. Renji obviously hadn't thought this through. He does look like a doll. But that braided hair… Too much. He looked better with it free and swaying around his shoulders. But as he fully soaked in the sight the implications of this new outfit dawned on him. No jeans…but a skirt! All the better for access. "I do love the skirt though it doesn't do you justice." A wicked grin flashed across his face as he drew closer to the annoyed red head. "But your hair," he said placing his fingers on Renji's cheek and trailing them upwards until they came to the bow, "looks much better when it's down." Swiftly untying the ribbon, he combed his fingers through twisted red locks until the braids were gone. "And even in a dress you still look my man. Though with better access," he added smirking over his shoulder at Grimmjow, sure he would understand the implied innuendo.
Renji's cheeks flared, "Shut up!" he hissed while Grimmjow snickered and Rukia beamed. She lifted her right hand and waved it in front of her face with a devilish grin, "Oh...the dress is kinda shorter in the back. You can thank me later." Her violet eyes sparkled and Renji tensed, eyes wide and turned to look and growled. Sure, the end reached his knees in the front but in the back...it was a little...how to say? ...short. Enough to cover his bottom sure, and he also cursed Rukia for forcing him to change out of boxers and into a different pair of undies. God, he wanted to kill her right now. Rapeable looking was not his thing. "How did ya get the right size anyway?!" Grimmjow simply chuckled, "You don't remember the day she surrounded you and measured like crazy?" Oh...yeah, he had forgotten about that. "I thought it was to get me a new shirt and some pants! I didn't think it was for this!" His hands grabbed at the front and back, pulling them down and backing away slightly from Ichigo.
"Oh I wouldn't worry about me ravishing you in front of your friend's," Ichigo said to try and calm Renji a bit. "They might get some ideas and I'm not sure I want to see that pan out." Chuckling, he moved so he could see the length of the dress in the back. Yes it was shorter. Barely covering his ass and...what was this? Panties?! Of all the wretchedly tempting things Rukia could do. Peeking over Renji's shoulder to caught Rukia eyes, his smile was a tad pained but not from any physical ailment. More from the want to screw his boyfriend senseless. "You really are trying to push me over the edge huh Rukia?"
"You don't know her very well," both Grimmjow and Renji spoke, Grimmjow suffering twice as much and having his hot drink spill on his lap and cry out in pain, swiftly getting off the chair and bolting to the bathroom as Rukia smiled sweetly. "I have no idea what you're talking about, Spiky-kun," "Rukia..." Renji whined, hands now at the back and pulling the end down, "Gimme back my clothes." "Nope , I won the bet so deal with it. Besides, Spiky-kun looks like he's ready to rape you." "Shut up, midget!!" he cried with a heavy blush on his features.
Leaving the safety of being behind Renji, well his own safety at least, Ichigo waggled a finger at Rukia. "First of all you can't rape the willing." Glancing at the bathroom door Grimmjow had disappeared behind, he chewed his lip. "Is Grimm going to be okay? Looks like it hurt..." The thought of having a molten liquid hot drink poured all over his nether regions was a real turn off. Ouch.
Renji looked over his shoulder to the bathroom and shrugged, lifting the skirt to his dismay, "Doubt it, no sex for them for about two weeks...that drink was pretty warm." Rukia giggled, "He'll be fine," Her eyes then fell halfway shut with a cat-like smile, "whoever said Renji was that willing? He may not look it but he'll fight to do someone in their ass." "Rukia!" the redhead shouted, eyes narrowing, "Don't make me sound like a sex-addict like your boyfriend!" Speaking of cats...Renji looked down once he heard a familiar, yet confused, mew and bent down to pick Ki up. "Don't worry, Ki...I'll get the midget back." "I'm not a midget!" she protested.
"Of course not Rukia. Just a little vertically challenged." Ichigo rubbed the back of his neck and frowned. "Poor guy..." Shaking his head and putting thoughts of how Grimm wouldn't have much of a life for the next few weeks he returned his attention to the challenge at hand. "I can be pretty persuasive when needed for you information Rukia. Take the way Renji responded to my kissing technique as an example. Which I believe you can now have for your viewing pleasure." He chuckled since this wasn't something Renji would forgive that easily. At least that was what he believed from what he had learned about him so far.
Renji huffed and moved over to the counter, setting Ki down and turning while crossing his arms. "Oh, very funny Ichi-tomato." he frowned, turning it into a pout easily, "And like you're one to talk...ya got all hard when we danced." Rukia's eyes widened at this and got her phone out, flipping it open and taking a picture with Renji in the dress with the pout, moving to text to her good friend Rangiku who was sadly somewhere in Germany with her girlfriend Orihime. Renji, seeing this, blinked and growled, "Rukia, don't send anyone anything!" "I'm not!" she lied, sending both the kissing video and the picture with Renji alone to the other woman, receiving a text back a little while later: "OMG! Renny's got some1 special! Wish them luck 4 us!" Her violet eyes glanced between Ichigo and Renji after she flipped the phone shut, "Rangiku and Orihime wish you luck on this relationship." Renji's eyes widened and blushed, "You said you didn't - argh! I knew not to trust you!"
"Well it was kinda hard to not respond to that body of your and the way your can twist it. Which is all too tempting," Ichigo managed to respond before Rneji and RUkia broke out into another fight. "I swear you guys fight like an old married couple." Sighing and rubbing his temples, the artist just wanted to get Renji to his place to show him the painting and then decide what to do from there. "Ah." Ichigo flipped open his phone,. "How about a copy of that video and picture Rukia?" He gave her his number. "And tell you friends we'll do just fine."
She grinned and opened the phone, texting back then sending Ichigo the files as Renji's face fell. "Oh, you two can leave if you want...a bloody battle will come around after kitty gets out of the bathroom." Renji's reddish-brown eyes sparkled, "That means I get my clothes back, right? I haven't worn that concert shirt in months, you know that." The raven shook her head, "Nope, you'll get them tomorrow." Renji gritted his teeth, hissing through them, "I. Hate. You. So. Much." "Ah, but I love you, though Ichigo seems to have a small problem with both things." Rukia hopped off the chair and headed into the back with a little tone in whistle form coming out of her mouth. "Rukia, it's cold outside!" "Don't care." flowed out in a sing-song voice.
Now he had an unhappy Renji on his hands unless he fixed it somehow. "How about you tie my jacket around your waist? It'll help keep your legs from getting cold and it will cover the um..., ahem, exposed area. Unless you just want me to tear the dress of you altogether?" Ichigo rather liked the last idea but he already knew it probably wouldn't happen soon. "I'll give you some of my clothes when we get to my place if you want."
Renji had puppy eyes once he looked at Ichigo, "You won't make me continue wearing this? I love you!" He leapt at Ichigo and wrapped his arms around the other's neck while Ki moved off the counter to travel over beside them, looking up with bright green eyes, cocking her head then shaking it. Her owner was so weird at times and had such weird friends.
"Or you want I could rip it off you so you wouldn't have to wear it again." That suggestion was one Ichigo would love to act on since it gave him the satisfaction of making Renji happy but he also got to see most of that gorgeously form body again. "So you love me huh? Already?" A smile came on his lips and his eyes sparkled.
