Renji and Iba bashing that I don't mean. ;P
Summary:
Shuuhei gets embarrassed in public a lot.
Dedication: Mel,
congrats on the job!
A/N: I don't want to do my English
homework.
"Have a nice night, pookie!"
"Ehehehehe yeah, g'night, sweetheart!"
Shuuhei was tempted to turn around and punch out Abarai and Iba's lights for their ridiculous comments, but he was late as it was and things would only get ugly if he postponed his return any more on account of those two idiots.
So he gritted his teeth, snarled a "go to hell" over his shoulder at them and headed back to his quarters without any of the desired fisticuffs.
Behind him, the other two vice-captains snickered shamelessly, catcalling until he was out of sight.
As he walked, the ninth division vice-captain resolved to kill them tomorrow morning, bright and early.
Though when he stopped to think about it, those two were morons really, and the only person really at fault for this whole pet-name fiasco was Ayasekawa, because whenever Shuuhei's lover was involved in anything, Yumichika would always be the one at fault for whatever distress Shuuhei had to face as a result of his actions.
Like, for instance, the pet-names.
The thing was, Yumichika had no qualms about happily calling Shuuhei all sorts of embarrassing monikers in the presence of anyone else, especially his (quote) "low-brow ruffian junior officer friends". Though all he did was give those ruffians a lot of ammo, really. Whenever they came across one another during the day it was, "Hi honey!" or "you look tired, sweetheart," or "did you eat your special love-packed bento yet, baby? Was it good?" and then he'd kiss Shuuhei on the cheek and be off to wherever it was he'd been going, completely oblivious to the fresh grief that he'd caused Hisagi, who was left behind with the others to deal with the "honey" and the "sweetheart" and the "baby" all by himself.
He was pretty damn sure Yumichika got some sort of sadistic glee out of messing with him like that. And he'd told the other man to stop a hundred times, at least while other people were around, but then Ayasekawa would blink at him and frown a little and ask if he hated it so much, and Shuuhei must've been getting soft because he was never able to tell him that he in fact, hated it.
But he did hate it, he really did.
And after today, he was resolved to tell Ayasekawa exactly that over dinner tonight, was just about to take a breath and let it out the second he saw the other man. Except…
"Welcome back, love!"
…the moment he stepped through the door, he completely forgot.
