XXXXX

By the sound of slamming doors echoing down the hallway, Byakuya could tell his vice captain had finally come in for work. So it was no surprise to him when a furious Renji Abarai comes barging into his office.

After slamming the door shut the angry redhead storms up to Byakuya's desk, slamming a parcel on the papers the shinigami captain was reading. "What the hell is this supposed to be?!" Renji growls loudly.

Byakuya slowly and deliberately trails his eyes up from the desk top to look at his subordinate's enraged face. "You don't appreciate the gift?" he asks, adding a slightly hurt tone to his otherwise emotionless voice, despite his actual amusement. "I had it made with you especially in mind."

The answer takes Renji aback a bit, quelling some of the passionate man's anger. The younger man then protests, "But, then why is it pink? And with cherry blossom patterns?"

"You look good in pink," Byakuya states, then leans back in his chair as he continues, "I thought the cherry blossoms would be appropriate for you, since it was under the cherry trees that I deflowered you."

A blush covers Renji's entire face when he hears the explanation. He stares at the parcel, still sitting on the top of the desk, for a while. He then picks it up muttering, "You're such a pervert sometimes, y'know."

"Is that a problem for you?"

"…no. But if I wear this you better make it worth it."
