By the time we woke up it was already past the time we were supposed to be on rounds. I poke him in the side. "Wake up."
"If I say no, what happen's to me?" he asks still not opening his eyes. We were laying on the ground. I sit on top of him.
"Wake up. I don't want to be bitched out by Zaraki for being late at getting home," I tell him my hands on his chest.
"The extremely handsome, wise, strong, and talented Soul Reaper needs something to wake him up," he says opening one eye. I laugh.
"Alright tell me when you find someone who fits that description," I say laughing. He sits up, so now I'm sitting on his lap.
"Not what I meant," he says. He pulls my hair back behind my hair and grabs the ribbon off my wrist. He ties it in my usual scruffy bun. "There, now you can see."
I smile and stand up. "Come on we have rounds," I tell him pulling him up.
Ten minutes til end of Rounds
"So there was this one time, Kaya stole this, uh, well I can't remember what exactly it was but, it was food. Well as she was stuffing it in her shirt the owner of the food stand came out and caught her. He was so pissed, it was hilarious. She went sprinting down the street, food falling out the bottom of her shirt. I saved her ass of course but, that was the last time she ever stole anything again," I tell Renji. We neared the fourth division quarters.
"Shh," Renji said as he pulled me against his chest and up against the wall. I poke my head around the corner and see Ukitake coming out of Captain Unohana's room, his face flushed. He gives the captain a light kiss then goes down the road towards his own quarters. I pull out of his arms and he follows me out of the alley way.
"Ukitake, you dog," I say.
"Was that really what I think it was?" he asks me still holding on to my hand.
"I think it was," I tell him as we follow Ukitake. "Should I?" I ask him.
"Do it," he tells me.
"Captain Ukitake! What are you doing out so late? Getting some 'air' I suppose?" I yell to him in a cheerful tone. He stands still and turns around.
"Akane? And lieutenant Abari? What a nice surprise," he says, his face red. Renji claps.
"Very nice, Captain. Very nice. I salute you," Renji says. I elbow him and grin sheepishly.
"You saw that?" Captain asks.
"Yes. I'll keep it a secret, I'm good at that. But I only speak for myself," I tell him. We look at Renji expectantly.
"Only if she goes to Kurosaki's wedding with me," he says looking at me.
"Good, so my secrets safe for now," Ukitake says heading the three divisions down to his building.
"I never said I'd go," I tell Renji.
"But you will," he tells me. He kisses me and heads back up in the direction of his division quarters.
"I hate you Renji Abari!"I yell towards him before going into the dojo. Ikkaku and Maizo are fighting the rest of the division watching. I find Yumichika and lay down, my head in his lap.
"Long day?" he asks brushing the hair out of my eyes as I watch the fight.
"You have no fucking clue," I tell him, my eyes closing and I fall asleep.
