AN: I own nothing. Rangiku and Izuru have an awkward one-night stand. Awkward lemon? Is that a thing?

Chapter 2: Izuru

Rangiku sat at her desk staring at the tower of reports her captain had left her. She'd made it through a quarter of the stack, but she just couldn't focus. Days had gone by and Rangiku still hadn't heard from Izuru. She worried that maybe he had liked her by mistake. But he hadn't unmatched her so that was probably a good sign, right? Maybe he was just busy. Should she message him? Her thoughts were totally preoccupied with Tinder. Rangiku let out an audible sigh loud enough to make her captain looked up from his desk.

"What is it Motsumoto?" Toshiro ask, not trying to hide his annoyance.

"Oh! Umm, it's nothing. Well, actually, I've got this little problem, but I doubt you'd want to hear about it. It's a girl thing, actually, I should probably go talk to Nanao about it right now! Bye Captain! Thanks for your advice it's been a great talk."

Rangiku jumped up from her desk sending her paperwork flying and dashed out the door.

"Matsumoto! I didn't say you could . . . leave." Toshiro let is words trail off. It was no use, there was no stopping his lieutenant now.

Rangiku arrived at Nanao's office and flung open the door. Nanao was used to her friend barging in uninvited and calmly looked up from her desk.

"Lieutenant Matsumoto. What can I do for you?" Nanao said mockingly.

"Oh, cut the lieutenant crap! This is an emergency Nanao!"

"What happened? Are you alright?" Nanao's tone quickly changed to one of concern.

"No! I am not alright! Izuru and I matched on Tinder and he hasn't messaged me! What am I supposed to do?" Rangiku exclaimed.

Nanao sighed. "Well for starters we need to talk about your definition of an 'emergency.'"

"I know I'm sorry, I just haven't been able to think about anything else."

"So why don't you just message him?" Nanao's tone had turn back to one of annoyance.

"But what if he just liked me by mistake? I'd be the laughingstock of the whole Seireitei." Rangiku whined.

"Well then you're just going to have to take your chances."

"But-." Rangiku's protestations were cut short.

"Look, I already told you I think this whole Tinder thing is a bad idea, but I'm pretty sure Izuru didn't like you by mistake." Nanao said with a smile.

"Okay so what should I say?"

"I'm sure you'll think of something Rangiku and I'm sorry, but I really have to get back to work."

"Nanao, you're always working!" Rangiku said with an eyeroll.

"Yes, well someone around here has to." Nanao said as she got up from her desk and pushed Rangiku out of her office.

Rangiku pulled out her soul phone on her walk back to the office. She opened the still empty chat between her and Izuru. She typed out multiple introductions before finally settling on saying "Fancy seeing you here, Izuru!" Almost instantly she got a reply.

"Likewise."

Really? Was that all he was going to say? Suddenly a new text popped up on her screen.

"So, does this mean we should get drinks or something?"

"Of course!" She responded. "Pick me up at 7?"

"It's a date."

Rangiku let out a small giggle. She had been worried over nothing. Of course, he liked her! He was just shy! Gin's sudden departure really had done a number on her self-esteem. She was usually so confident and great at reading people, men in particular. But after he left, after he abandoned her, she just wasn't the same. Maybe her date with Izuru would change that. Maybe this is how she would get her confidence back.

Rangiku looked up from her phone just in time to stop herself from walking right into her captain.

"Oh Captain! Sorry it took a little longer than I thought it would to resolve my little issue."

"I don't want to hear it. Matsumoto, you will finish those reports today even I have to lock us in the office all night." Toshiro said with a snarl.

"Of course, Captain, umm there's just one problem."

"And what is that?"

"I have to be somewhere at 7. . ." Rangiku trailed off.

"Well then you better get to work." Toshiro said and slammed the office door behind them.

Rangiku finished her work just in time to go home and get ready for her date. She frantically raided her wardrobe looking for something cute to wear. Rangiku figured she should dress up a little bit, but not enough that it made it look like she was trying too hard. She settled on black high wasted jeans and a slinky black and gold top. She left her hair down and quickly touched up her makeup. She still had her toothbrush in her mouth when she heard a knock at the door.

"Coming!" She mumbled as she ran to let in her date. With her free hand she gestured for Izuru to come inside. She held up one finger and dashed off the bathroom before toothpaste spilled over her lips and ruined her outfit. "Ahh! Sorry about that." She said as she walked back to where Izuru was waiting. Izuru was wearing jeans and an unbuttoned blue flannel with a white tee underneath. "Great." She thought to herself, she was totally overdressed.

"You look. . ."

"Overdressed, I know." Rangiku offered.

"I was going to say great." Izuru replied with a smile.

Rangiku blushed and looked down at the floor. After a moment of awkward silence Izuru broke the tension by asking Rangiku if she was ready to head over to the bar.

"Where are we going?" Rangiku inquired.

"Well, that Rangiku, is a surprise."

"Haha okay, well I'm trusting you Izuru." Rangiku said playfully.

"I really don't think you'll be disappointed." Izuru said as they walked out the door.

Izuru had chosen a small yet trendy bar just outside the Seireitei. Rangiku had heard of this place and had been meaning to go, but just hadn't had the chance. She was surprised Izuru even knew this place existed. He was definitely more up to date than she gave him credit. They took two seats at the bar and Izuru ordered sake for both of them.

"You know me so well!" Rangiku chirped. This time Izuru was the one blushing.

"Ahh well I try." He responded.

At first, their date was a bit awkward, but after a few drinks, the conversation was flowing. They talked about everything including the new projects they'd been assigned at work, the TV shows they'd been watching, and of course juicy new office gossip. Izuru was charming and a good conversationalist, and at times, some of Izuru's mannerisms reminded Rangiku of Gin. Both men had an incredibly morbid sense of humor and they made a similar playful facial expression when they flirted. However, the subject of Gin, and more importantly, Gin's defection was absent from that night's conversation. "Gin" was arguably the main thing Rangiku and Izuru had in common, but Rangiku was certainly thankful Izuru never brought it up. She wasn't really ready to talk about Gin's departure with anyone other than Nanao just yet.

Before they knew it, it was last call and in a moment of impulsive bravery, Rangiku decided to invite Izuru back to her place. When they got back to her apartment, Rangiku promptly brought out her secret stash of sake and gestured to Izuru to take a seat on her couch. The two continued to drink and talk until Rangiku wondered if he was ever going to make a move. Then, when she had almost given up hope, he leaned in and kissed her. He was an undeniably good kisser. His lips were soft, and he used just the right amount of tongue. Rangiku ran her fingers through his hair and gently push his head back against her couch. She swung one of her legs over his lap and straddled him and began to grind her hips slowly and rhythmically against his. Rangiku could feel Izuru getting hard through his jeans and herself getting wet in response. Rangiku broke their kiss long enough to ask whether they should move to the bedroom and Izuru eagerly agreed. When they got to her bedroom Rangiku pulled off her top, revealing her ample breasts. She was wearing a black lace bra that was just transparent enough to show the outline of her nipples. Izuru didn't even try to hide his stare.

"Wow."

"Haha, so do they live up to the hype?" Rangiku said bashfully.

"Uh yes! And then some!"

Rangiku just giggled in response as Izuru rushed her and pushed her down on the bed. At almost lighting speed, Izuru took of his T-shirt and jeans revealing his skinny, yet defined body. He stood in front of Rangiku in nothing but his plaid green and blue boxers. Next, Izuru went for Rangiku's jeans. Taking off skinny jeans was always the most awkward part of any hook up. There was absolutely no way to make it sexy. However, the pair had a good laugh as Izuru struggled to free Rangiku's lanky legs. Eventually, both Izuru and Rangiku found themselves lying in her bed, giggling, and wearing nothing but their underwear. Izuru abruptly fell silent and stared into Rangiku eyes.

"What is it?" Rangiku asked.

"Nothing, I just like looking at you." He replied, before moving in for another kiss.

Izuru grabbed a chunk of Rangiku's hair, pulling her head back and exposing her neck which he promptly began to kiss. His kisses began to move down her body until he reached her legendary chest. With his free hand, Izuru reached under Rangiku's arched back to unclasp her bra. After a few moments of fidgeting with the clasps, Izuru successfully removed the garment. At last, Rangiku lay topless underneath him. He removed his hand from her hair and began caressing and kissing her breasts. He took a moment to suck on each nipple, letting his teeth graze her tender flesh. Next, his kisses began to travel down her stomach, then to her hips, and finally to her inner thighs. After teasing Rangiku for what felt like forever, Izuru finally pulled her matching black lace thong to the side of her pussy and began to eat her out. Izuru was purposeful and rhythmic and unlike most guys, he could actually locate Rangiku's clit. Rangiku let out a low moan as he sucked on her sensitive folds. Next, Izuru took two of his fingers and began to slide them inside her.

"God, you're so tight." Izuru groaned. "You must be like, the kegel queen."

"Hmm maybe." Rangiku replied, not really sure how to respond to his comment. At first, the pressure of Izuru's fingers felt lovely, but he began to slide his fingers in and out of Rangiku too fast too soon. She was not nearly warmed up or wet enough for that kind of a jackhammer motion. Rangiku had experienced a fair amount of painful sex. Gin had always been rather rough and for the most part Rangiku liked it. He would slap Rangiku's ass so hard he left behind red welts that would eventually turn into purple and yellow bruises. Gin also liked to push her head down on his cock when she was blowing him, and only let her up for air when he could see her watery eyes spill over and heard her gag like she was about to puke. On one occasion, Rangiku actually did puke. Gin was a little more careful after that. But tonight, Rangiku wasn't really in the mood for anything of this nature, so she tactfully propped herself up on her elbows and got Izuru's attention.

"You like that baby?" Izuru asked as he looked up from between her thighs.

"Mmhmm, but now it's my turn to make you feel good." She replied with a seductive smirk.

Izuru slid his fingers out of Rangiku's pussy as she pushed him down onto his back. Rangiku used the same maneuver of kissing down Izuru's torso until she got to the top of his boxers. He had a cute little treasure trail leading up to his navel. Rangiku pulled off his boxers revealing Izuru's erect member. Overall, Izuru had a good cock. It was a little smaller than Gin's, but not by much. It was long, probably about 6 ½ to 7 inches, but on the thinner side. However, the nice thing about a cock like Izuru's was that Rangiku could fit the entire thing in her mouth, which she promptly did. Izuru exhaled sharply as the tip of his cock slid down the back of Rangiku's throat. After all of Gin's rough face-fuckings, Rangiku had become a master of controlling her gag reflex. Rangiku's head bobbed up and down as she sucked and salivated all over Izuru's erect member. As Izuru's cock slide out back over Rangiku's tongue, she could taste little bursts of precum. Rangiku knew he wouldn't last much longer. However, before he erupted inside her mouth, Izuru stopped her and pulled Rangiku back onto his chest. Izuru kissed her as he rolled on top of her and reached down to remove her panties. He spread Rangiku's legs apart with his own knees and began to slide his cock inside her. Rangiku gasped as she felt the pressure building inside her. Izuru grabbed Rangiku's arms and pinned them above her head and then began to pump his cock in and out of her.

"Fuck. . . you feel so good Izuru." Rangiku moaned.

Izuru let out a stifled groan as he increased his pace and began to thrust into Rangiku with more force. Her moans turned into breathy gasps as he pounded into her. Rangiku began to clench her pussy around Izuru's cock as if to try and hold him in longer. This finally sent Izuru over the edge and he pulled out his cock and covered Rangiku's stomach and tits in his cum. He hovered over her panting for a few moments, then bent his head down for one more kiss before jumping up to get her a towel. Rangiku watched Izuru's cute butt as he walked out of her room. It was by no means the best sex of Rangiku's life. It wasn't bad, but it was like all one-night stands – kind of awkward and performative. She hadn't come, but she basically expected that. Izuru wasn't her soulmate. She still missed Gin. But, in that moment, it felt nice to be desired.
