Chapter 3: Don't deny it
After a long day of sightseeing, swimming, and time in the sun, Byakuya was ready to call it a day. That much social interaction was never part of his day never mind spending it with two loud characters like Rukia and Renji. He was truly regretting coming along, why did he give his sister her way all the time?
"What shall we do tonight you guys" Rukia asked looking at the two men, they were on their way back to their hotel from Havana which was a long drive.
"You two can do whatever you would like, but I have had enough for one day" Byakuya said coolly as he rubbed his temples. They had fun and Byakuya would admit that some of the sights they saw were very beautiful but he was not ready for more, and if he knew Rukia and Renji as well as he thought, they were going to suggest a club for the night's activity. He had enough of crowds for one day.
"Oh no you didn't" Rukia looked ready to strangle her brother "There is still a lot of time left, and you are going to enjoy it" she huffed folding her arms over her chest.
"Maybe we should take it easy tonight Ruki? We have a lot of time to do everything you want!" Renji found himself agreeing with Byakuya, not ready for an argument between the two siblings. "Its our first day here" he tried to sway her.
"I came here for us to have fun!" she pointed a finger at her mate and brother "And that is what we are going to do!"
And that is how the three found themselves at a very popular night club, it was well known by locals and tourists. Many people traveled to Cuba with the club as the high light of their trip. It was not too far away from their hotel which Byakuya was glad for. He knew how the other two got when they drank, and he was not ready for yet another long car ride with a drunk Renji and Rukia.
The club had a nice vibe, it looked like an old Cuban house had been reverted into a business property, the main property that was the nightclub stood three stories high, each level had a different themed bar and dance floor that related to different part and traditions of Cuba. The beach bar stood a way in front of the club on the beachfront, it was like the "backyard" of the actual club. The beach bar had a large deck with dark wooden tables and comfortable chairs all decorated with bright sitting pillows. The deck merged with sand to make an easy slope to walk up and down between the bar and the beach. The place had a very simplistic theme, the perfect mix between traditional Cuban and Modern.
Rukia was bouncing up and down in excitement, her eyes darting around to take in every detail of the place.
"Oh it's sooo cute!" she spoke over the music.
"Its not bad, well I will go grab us a table and you two can get the first round!" Renji said with a grin seeming far more excited than he appeared before.
"Great! Come one Byakuya, lets go to the bar!" she yelled grabbing her brother by the elbow and pulled him with her in die direction of the beach bar.
"Well, let's make the best of an unwanted situation I suppose" he sighed only loud enough for himself to hear. What else could he do?
Byakuya and Rukia headed to the bar to get their first round of drinks, while Renji headed onto the beach to grab a table on the deck nearest to the beach where the dancing and excitement was. The setting was very fun, the bar was decorated in a local theme with the bar and stools all painted in a bright theme of colors that were typical of Havana and carried out through most of Cuba.
The staff of the club, including the staff at the beach bar, were all wearing white with bright, traditional-looking Cuban accessories to decorate their outfits.
Byakuya noted that the sea-foam haired beta girl was wearing a long white dress with a bright red headscarf tied in a bow at front of her head, she had bright flowers pinned all over her hair almost covering her high messy bun.
His eyes scanned over them all while they waited to be tended to. There was a blond alpha woman dressed in a white skirt and crop blouse that frilled out at the bottom. She was wearing bright jeweler made of large wooden beads along with large gold hooped earrings to complete her ensemble. Other staff members were bustling around on the beach as well, serving people their drinks on large wooden trays.
"Wow, this place is amazing" Rukia spoke over the loud music "Are you having fun yet" she nudged Byakuya with her elbow smiling brightly.
"I would rather be in the Hotel" Byakuya informed her matter of factly "This place is too loud and sweaty," he said looking out over the sea of people dancing, swimming, and having a great time.
Rukia frowned "You need to loosen up, otherwise you will never have fun here!" She scolded him "Nii-Sama?" She questioned looking at her older companion with large eyes.
"Yes?" The man in question inquired lifting his neat brows slightly.
"Please try? For me?" Rukia sounded very genuine in tone "I want you to have a good time" she patted his leg smiling at him. Byakuya simply sighed and nodded his approval.
"Hi, have you two been helped yet" came a chirpy voice from across the bar, Byakuya turned in the direction if it and saw it belonged to the green-haired girl.
"Not yet!" Rukia replied quickly.
"Sorry, it's a madhouse here tonight!" The girl laughed "My names Nel, what can I get you guys?" She smiled warmly at them.
Rukia proceeded to order their drinks and chatting with her in a casual exchange. "Would you bring the drinks over to our table? We have someone waiting for us" Rukia asked smiling at the girl.
"Sure! I will send Ichigo over with them" she chirped as the two got up to leave "Ichigo!" The girl they came to know as Nel yelled over the music waiving someone over.
And that is where it happened, Byakuya smelled him before he saw him, the scent of coconut, shea butter, and the ocean breeze hit Byakuya like a bullet between the eyes. The ripe smell of an Omega approaching their heat.
"Coming!" Byakuya heard from behind the bar as the person approached "Takes theses drinks t-" Byakuya cut off the girl's voice as he focused on the sight in front of him. If the smell did not indicate 'omega' then his looks sure did.
Byakuya felt his heart make the strangest aching pull. A feeling he has not felt in years.
The boy was maybe 19? Or 20? He had large hazel brown eyes with specks of honey scattered around in them. His hair was a fiery strawberry blond. Byakuya noticed light freckles littered over his cute nose and cheeks, probably from spending days in the sun. He had full soft-looking, peach-coloured lips, and a bright smile. Byakuya watched as the boy took a tray full of orders and walked around the bar, making his inner Alpha scream in want at the sight. The young Omega's entire body was kissed by the sun. He was wearing skin-tight white swimming trunks that fit tight to his bubble bottom and contrasted with his full, caramel thighs along with a white chiffon beach wrap that hung loosely from his hips...he was beautiful. Byakuya watched as the boy took the drinks to all the tables, swaying his hips to the bass boosted local tune playing over the speakers.
"Nii-sama...Nii-Sama!" He heard but did not react or even register "Byakuya!" Came the voice again and he snapped his head down towards it looking a bit startled and flustered.
"W-what?" He asked cursing himself for stuttering, a man like him did not stutter!
"Byakuya, are you okay? You zoned out and you look all flustered?" Rukia asked very concernedly, this behaviour was very out of character for her usually calm brother.
Byakuya nodded collecting himself "I am fine, just lost in thought" he stated and briskly walked off to their table where Renji waited.
"Okay..." Rukia muttered eyeing her brother, something was up, and she was going to get behind it.
"Yo! what took you guys so long?" Renji asked looking annoyed.
"Sorry, the bar is a madhouse tonight, our drinks should be here any time!" Rukia smiled trying to keep their spirits up.
"Great! I'm drying up over here!" Renji mocked and slung an arm over his mate's petite shoulders.
"Hey, what's up with him?" Renji asked jabbing a thumb in Byakuya's direction, seeing that the man was far away in his thoughts.
"I have no idea, he was like this at the bar as well, he even blushed and stuttered!" Rukia exclaimed and Renji's eyes went wide mouth opening to retort when Byakuya spoke first.
"Knock it off you two" Byakuya warned them in his stern tone, not taking his eyes off the young Omega on the beach once. He watched as Alphas touched and flirted with the boy, feeling a low growl bubble up from his throat.
"Byakuya?" he heard Renji ask and cleared his throat realizing what he was doing.
"I am fine" he assured them
"Brother if you are not feeling well you can go back to the hotel" Rukia said sounding serious
"It's nothing serious" he reassured her giving a small smile.
"Here you guys go! Sorry for the wait" They all looked up to see the young orange-haired boy starting to place their drinks down on the table. Byakuya felt his breath hitch as the boy gave a shy smile, he did not even notice him approaching. "Just call if you need anything else!" he beamed before taking off to the bar sounding very friendly for someone serving people all night.
After that, the three fell into conversation whit Rukia and Renji doing most of the talking and joking, and Byakuya trying to figure out why he was acting like a love-struck teenager.
"Hey Nel, I'm heading inside for a bit of a break!" Ichigo said to Nel as soon as he got back to the beach bar.
"Sure Ichi! hey, who is that handsome Alpha?" she asked extremely curious.
"Which one?" Ichigo joked there were always handsome people on the beach but he had a feeling he knew which one she was referring to.
"That one with the long black hair" Nel pointed towards the table he just served "He has been watching you all night so far!" she giggled nudging him "Maybe he will ask you to dance!" she spoke in a flirty way making Ichigo blush.
"Nel, judging by his clothes he is a rich guy, why would he be watching me?" Ichigo shook his head "He is handsome alright, and he smelled really nice, but let's face it, I always get the douche bags" he laughed walking inside the building to take his break leaving Nel to her thoughts. She loved Ichigo and was always trying to get him the happy ending he deserved. The poor kid had a rough life so far, but she was not new to the game, she saw the sneaky looks the two gave each other.
Once inside Ichigo let out a long sigh, he knew that Alpha was watching him, he was no idiot. The moment he stepped out to do his rounds he felt those eyes on him, those gorgeous, deep, slate grey eyes. Ichigo had to snap himself back to reality, he meant what he said, he really did get all the douche bags…so why was he feeling so pulled towards the alpha? He sure as hell was not ready to get his heart broken again, but then again, he knew what it meant when an Alpha smelled THAT good to an omega.
"Oh god…" Ichigo sighed out as he sat down against the wall and dropped his face into his hands. "This can't be happening" he said into his hands. He sat recalling the scent of the alpha, it was strong and comforting. It had a deep oak scent along with smoke and rain with just a hint of a cherry blossom fragrance.
"Ichigo?" the boy looked up to see Nel looking at him from the door "Are you okay?" she asked putting a gentle hand on his shoulder as she crouched down next to him.
"Yeah" he smiled doing his best not to show all his emotions "Just my heat coming, I'm starting to feel it" he decided to blame all his emotions on his upcoming heat.
"Oh, well why don't I cover for you? You can go home and rest" she smiled; she really was a great friend to him.
"Nah! I can do it; this place is crazy tonight! I can handle it" he laughed as he got up from his place on the floor "Come on, let's get this shift over with" he exclaimed.
"That's my Ichi" Nel gave him a gentle punch on the shoulder glad that he was feeling a little bit better. Ichigo could hide a lot, but he was never good at hiding his emotions. Nel knew what was going on, and it was not the heat's fault! But she knew better than to push the ever hot-tempered Ichigo to talk about is feelings.
