More Romantic Bleach Drabbles

Disclaimer: Bleach belongs to Kubo Tite, not to me.

Author's Note: Happy Canadian Thanksgiving! Today is turkey day here in Canada! So I'm giving you a drabble! HaHa. I've been under a lot of stress from work and it's just killing my creativity. First we're on strike, then we're not. Everyone's at each other's throats. Really not a pleasant ordeal. On the plus side, going on strike would mean more time to write! Enough of that, though, and on with the fluff!

StarPrincess999 - I have your one shot all planned out, I just need to sit down and type it up! Sorry for making you wait so long!

Dedicated to capslock-nanao!

Many thanks to my readers and reviewers capslock-nanao, Sajintmm, Sweet and Deadly (60 degrees is warm here! HaHa!), rainy-lullaby, darklover, PunkRockHolly, ZareenBlack, mrsbieber, Nicky Eira, and StarPrincess999!


35. Morning

"Morning," Abarai Renji murmured as he came and sat down on the bed next to Kira Izuru.

The blond looked up with a tired grin as he welcomed Renji onto his bed. "Good morning." Izuru wrapped an arm around Renji and leaned into him. "I didn't expect you to stay," he admitted. Renji nodded, blushing sheepishly at his companion. "I'm glad you did, though."

"It would have been a lot more awkward if I had left," Renji said, still looking sheepish. He had gone to Izuru the previous night in a moment of drunken weakness, ranting about how he was all alone while his friends were off doing things as couples without him. Izuru had just listened quietly while Renji had gone on for almost a solid hour. When Izuru had tried to comfort Renji, the intoxicated red head had surprised him with a rather fierce kiss and one thing had led to another.

"It's only awkward if you make it awkward, Renji," Izuru said as he absently stroked Renji's hair.

"You don't feel awkward Kira?" Renji asked.

Izuru just shook his head. "I've known and liked you for a long time now, Renji. I'd rather be your drunken one night stand than the type of person who turns down a friend in need," Izuru said.

"Liked as in... like-liked...?" Renji asked. "I thought you were hot for Hinamori?"

"Really? I always thought it was obvious that I preferred you..." Izuru mused.

"I... no...?"

"Well, I prefer you Renji," Izuru told him.

"Thanks, Kira... ah... Izuru," Renji murmured.
