A/N: THANKS for the reviews guys! They're very much appreciated and don't worry, everything will be answered soon.

Warning: Uryū might be a bit out of character in the beginning.

Father and Son

Uryū was quietly thrashing with the bed sheets as he was sleeping on the left of the bed, and if Ichigo wasn't holding him from behind he would probably be on the floor by now. Uryū turned his head to a side and then to the other side, almost as if he was having a bad dream that he couldn't get out.

"Mmmm-hhahh," he softly began panting and his hands clenched the sheets as he felt something inside him. While he remained asleep Ichigo began waking up as he could feel the man beside him stir more than usual. But when Ichigo brought his body closer to his chest Uryū instantly stopped thrashing and let out a soft sigh, going back to a peaceful sleep.

Ichigo looked at the body he was holding in bewilderment. That was strange? Wasn't he right now thrashing around? Must have been dreaming. He closed his eyes back up and let his dreams take over.

Takeshi cracked another rock in his hand as he, Masaru, and Norio walked around in the forest. "Tch, when are we going to make it to the damn Seireitei? We've been walking around in a damn slow pace that even a damn monkey can make it before we ever will," said an irritated Takeshi.

Masaru looked behind him to see the irritation on Takeshi's face. "Be patient. We-"

"Patient!" screamed Takeshi as his patience was wearing thin.

A spark of ice particles was forming as he seemed to get angrier than usual and Masaru saw this. "Stop! Or you'll increase your reiatsu and make yourself and the rest of us noticeable!"

But Takeshi wasn't listening to him. "The hell with that! I've been waiting patiently long enough and-"

"You're right."

Both Takeshi and Masaru looked over to Norio who had his back turned to them. "Oh, and do you mean by that?" asked a confused Takeshi who now seemed to have forgotten about his anger to let his power go drastically down to nonexistent.

"We must hurry. So then, let us get there before sunset."

Takeshi smirked and then all three men disappeared from their location to reach the Seireitei.

Morning had arisen and Ichigo was already getting dressed as he let Uryū remain on the bed as he snuggled with the pillow. "Heh, I've never knew Ishida liked to snuggle," commented Ichigo as he was placing on his shoes. He then exited the room and saw that Rukia was still hogging the couch as she slept while Byakuya was sitting in a chair by the table; his arms crossed almost looking like he wanted something.

Ichigo walked over to the kitchen and began taking out some eggs. He then looked back over to Byakuya and saw that he was a bit irritated. "Um, are you hungry or something?"

Byakuya didn't even look at him and only responded with a grunt. Ichigo's eyebrow twitched and took this as a yes. "Well, I'm going to make eggs, then."

The whole time Ichigo was making breakfast, Uryū decided to grace them with his presence after coming out of the room all dressed up. He looked over to Ichigo and saw that he was making more eggs than the necessary for two people as he cracked another two into the frying pan.

"Good morning, Kuchiki-san," he said acknowledging Byakuya, who merely grunted back.

Uryū walked over to the cooking Ichigo and gave him a bewildered look. "What's up with him?" whispered Uryū, not wanting to let Byakuya listen in to what he was saying.

Ichigo whispered back, "I think he's hungry and doesn't know how to cook."

Uryū choked on his spit and tried to cover his mouth with his hand as he tried to control the abnormal chuckling coming out of his mouth. Ichigo looked over to the Quincy with a raised brow. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Uryū almost never laughs and he especially never chuckles.

Uryū tried to talk over his chuckling. "Ku-Kuchiki-san doesn't cook," he said while keeping it in a whispered voice with a bit of a high squeak.

Ichigo was definitely now starting to worry about the young Quincy. He let go of the frying pan and began to smack his back. "Hey, calm down will 'ya." It worked and Uryū began to cough to cover the fact that he was chuckling.

"Y-yes, sorry." Uryū then walked over to the fridge to get some orange juice out. Not baring the thought of displaying such embarrassing behavior in front of Ichigo. Let alone laughing at something as simple as Byakuya not knowing how to cook. What the hell was that?

Ichigo went back to finishing the eggs and watched Uryū from the edge of his eyes as he poured juice into four cups. What is up with Ishida? I guess I should ask him later. "Well, at least I'm done." Ichigo placed two eggs on four separate plates and then placed them on the table, going back to get chopsticks for everyone.

Byakuya took the chopsticks that Ichigo handed him and looked at the food placed before him, then looked over to the yellowish substance in the cup that was at the side of his plate. "What is that weird liquid in the cup, Kurosaki?"

Ichigo was over to where Rukia was laying and brought her a plate as well. "Its orange juice, good source of vitamin c." Ichigo then shook Rukia awake and she opened her eyes to see Ichigo handing her a mouthwatering dish. She sat up and took the plate as she began to eat on the couch with her legs crossed Indian style.

Ichigo walked over to the table and tried to look where to eat since they only had two chairs in the room and both were occupied by Byakuya and Uryū. Uryū saw this and made room for Ichigo to share his seat. The orange-head raised an eyebrow but took it seeing as he didn't want to eat standing up.

When Ichigo looked over to Byakuya, he saw that he was just looking at the dish in front of him like it wasn't really food. "Yo, it's just eggs. Don't tell me you never ate eggs before."

Byakuya glared at Ichigo and then looked back down to the weird white-yellowish thing on his plate. He took his chopsticks and pocked at it, the food in turn did a wiggled a bit and that didn't seem right to him, but before he could speak up, Rukia interrupted him.

"It's really good nii-sama. Give it a try."

Byakuya again brought his attention to eat and then took it in to his mouth. Once he swallowed it down, he said, "not bad," and continued eating the rest.

Ichigo stood up from his chair once he finished drinking his juice and eating his eggs. "So, where are you guys going to stay at?"

"Down the hall," answered Byakuya like if he was just asked what the weather was.

"Huh?" Ichigo was confused at what he meant by that.

"I rented out the room across the hall from here when I went down to take the matter up with the man who owns this place."

Rukia went over to the sink and looked at Byakuya with wide-eyes and a shine of admiration could be seen. "You're always ready for anything, nii-sama."

Ichigo rolled his eyes and took the plate that Uryū was handing him so he could begin to wash the dishes. While Ichigo was washing the dishes he felt a pair of arms go around his midsection and a puff of air was blown onto his ear. He paled and figured that it was Uryū who was doing this. "A-are you okay, Ishida?"

"Mmm-hmm, you just look really cute washing the dishes-"

Uryū's and Ichigo's eyes went wide and Uryū quickly pulled away from Ichigo like if he was the plague. Uryū looked behind him and was glad that both Rukia and Byakuya didn't seem to see anything that happened just a few moments ago. He walked over to a chair and took a seat on it, covering his face with one hand as he placed it on his forehead.

Byakuya and Rukia stood up after having a conversation and walked to the door. "Ichigo, we'll be down the hall if you need anything," and they exited the room, leaving Ichigo alone with a strange behaved Uryū.

"Guess we should go to Karakura Hospital since our classes don't start 'till later," said Ichigo as he scratched the back of his head, not liking the awkwardness of the room.

Uryū stood up and nodded. "That would be best, the faster we get things sorted out the faster we can understand what is going on with those two. Oh, and I think it would be best if we didn't tell them we were in a relationship."

"Tch, like I would just blur it out to those freaks." Ichigo walked over to the door and stopped when he looked at the couch. "Wait a minute, Rukia forgot her damn bunny!"

Uryū grabbed him by the arm so he didn't scare the poor thing. "Leave it. We have other matters to attend to." Uryū then began pulling Ichigo away from the curled up bunny in the couch. He struggled to get to the bunny, but then stopped as he remembered something else.

"Hey, you've been acting weird lately, everything okay with you?" he said as he looked over to Uryū with a worried face.

Uryū looked at him and shook his head. "Fine, I'm probably just coming down with something. Now let's go before we waste precious time here."

Ryūken walked into his office and was surprised that Isshin wasn't in there before he was. That's right, I told him I didn't want anything to do with him. Hmph, it's better this way anyway. How could someone like him truly lo-

Ryūken was cut off of his thoughts as he heard someone knocking on his door. He walked over to it and opened it up to reveal Isshin scratching the back of his head. As he was about to say something, Isshin beat him to it.

"I'm only here because I have a strange feeling that Ichigo and Ishida-kun will be coming by, so don't worry," he then pointed to the bed, "mind if I lay down?"

Ryūken was a bit shocked to hear that Isshin was asking permission to get on his bed, but it didn't show on his face. "Sure." And Isshin walked over to the bed and laid down on his side facing away from Ryūken.

Ryūken could already feel the awkwardness of the room since Isshin walked through the door but now it was simple overwhelming having Isshin just laid there and not say anything. It was almost like having a scolded child in his office but at least he could get more work done.

After about ten minutes of pure silence, Ryūken was beginning to feel a bit uneasy, but then Isshin spoke up.

"Why did you leave?"

That mere question made Ryūken stiffen than any other question he could be asked by the dark-haired man. "I told you, I don't want anything to do with you anymore."

"I know that, but you didn't explain your true reason for just getting up and walking away."

Ryūken took a seat on his chair and crossed his legs. "The only true reason I had is what I just told you. It is you who doesn't seem to get it through your thick head, Kurosaki."

"You're lying."

The doctor furrowed his eyebrows and was beginning to get annoyed with the other man. "And why would I lie about something like this?"

"Because you're scared."

That was it. Ryūken stood up and faced the man that was looking away from him. "Scared? Scared of what, Kurosaki?" a cold tone being used as he glared at the man who didn't even seem fazed by it.

"Because I lo-"

"That's a lie!"

Isshin took in what he just said and then sat up to stare at the other man who looked like he was ready to shoot him with a barrage of arrows. "And how would you know that?"

Ryūken kept his stance as he faced the other man. "Because no one loves me, not even my own son."

Isshin scowled at him. "That's because everyone you tried to get close to, you shut them out! If I say that I love you, then that's that! And if I say that I would go get you a full supplies of new ties then I would also do that!"

Ryūken walked over to the man and stared him down. "And if I say that I don't love you?"

Isshin glared right back with the same intensity. "Then I wouldn't believe you."

Both men were lightly breathing through their noses that, that was the only sound in the office that could be heard. But without a second thought, Ryūken latched his lips onto the other man who seemed more than happy to reciprocate. Isshin grabbed at his coat and brought him onto the bed. Ryūken followed and let himself be on top of the eager man. Who knew that their frustration could easily bring out such intensity on both their parts? But they enjoyed it more than when they had sex, because right now Isshin was pulling off his coat and biting at his lip. Ryūken pulled the wretched coat off and tossed it to the floor so that he could put the dark-haired man in his place by pushing him to the bed and begin biting at his neck. Isshin moved his neck to give him more room to work as he let himself indulge in the pleasures the doctor was giving him. But sadly, all good things must come to an end. And it all ended with a mere familiar voice.

"Ryūken?"

Ichigo and Uryū were walking down the road and when Uryū saw Ichigo's hand by his side, something in him wanted to reach out and take it. He shook his head. What is wrong with me? Why in the world do I even want to hold his hand in public? He then noticed a young blond girl looking at Ichigo from her phone and he scowled, feeling a possessive part in himself stir for no apparent reason.

"Hey, Ishida, what are you going to say to your dad?"

His scowl deepened. "First off, don't call him "dad" and I'll just say what I feel."

Ichigo smirked as he looked at Uryū. "So, a normal conversation then?"

Uryū pushed his glasses up as he closed his eyes. "For the most part, yes. But what about you? How do you feel about this?"

Ichigo looked back to the road with his usual scowl. "I-I really haven't given much thought to it. At first I would be confused at why he would want a relationship with someone other than mom, but seeing that it's with a man, and I'm-"

"I understand, you mean since you're trying to see from his perspective."

"Yeah, but I still don't understand."

Uryū just nodded and they both dropped the conversation as they saw that they were reaching the hospital. For some reason Uryū felt a bit uneasy as they reached got closer to the building, but at the same time he was a bit calm with Ichigo at his side.

Walking into the building, Ichigo saw that the receptionist were occupied and stopped walking. Uryū on the other hand gave him a look and wondered why Ichigo stopped. "Why did we stop?"

Ichigo pointed to the receptionist. "Aren't we supposed to announce we came here or something? Ishida-san could be doing something important."

"Well, then we'll go by his office and see if he's there," Uryū paused and could sense that Ryūken was in his office, "yeah, I just checked. He's in his office. So, let's get this over with." Uryū then began walking away with Ichigo in tow.

As they reached the office of Ryūken, Uryū paused before opening the door and decided to better knock. He knocked three times but the door didn't open. He thought this was weird since Ryūken either knows he's there and just tells him to go in but he didn't even respond. Uryū knocked a bit louder and still Ryūken didn't say anything. He looked over to Ichigo and then decided to just open the door and see why he wasn't responding to his presence outside. When Uryū opened the door, he and Ichigo both got the surprise of their life.

"Ryūken?"
