Chapter 6 (candles and kisses):
Both of their hearts were pounding, and a blush was falling over their faces. Ashamed of what their friends had discovered, they quickly moved away from each other and started to make excuses for their 'behaviour'.
"It's nothing, we were just…I was …it's not…what you think…." Ichigo rambled, and looked at Renji, hoping to get some help from him.
"Yeah, it's nothing…" Renji quickly said, gazing down to the ground, afraid to see any reactions on the faces of his friends.
But there was only surprise and no disgust. Ichigo sighed and stood up. He quickly walked past the group and went to the hall, followed by the eyes of his friends.
Renji coughed to draw their attention away from Ichigo, and tried to sit up. An ache in his stomach made him fall down on his back again and he coughed up some blood.
There were no reactions; they were too astonished about what they just had seen between Renji and Ichigo that they totally forgot about Renji's wounds.
All eyes were focused on the orange head who was walking away from the room.
"Ugh…" Renji sighed, and tried to draw attention back to him. Finally Hanatarou noticed and quickly rushed to Renji to help him.
"Ow, sorry… I was…" Hanatarou excused himself, and gave Renji a glass of water.
----------------------------
Urahara sneaked away from the group and walked to Ichigo who was sitting crouched against a wall in the hall.
"Kurosaki-san?..." He began, and kneeled down in front of Ichigo.
"I'm not in the mood right now, okay?..." Ichigo reacted, and he stood up to walk back to Renji and the group.
"But it's obvious…" Kisuke said, walking next to Ichigo. "I mean…its not that it's not okay…"
Ichigo didn't react on that, he turned his back to Urahara and walked back inside the room.
Renji was sitting straight up and Hanatarou was busy healing him. He used his spirit power to take away the pain in Renji's body.
"Renji… come on, we're going home." Ichigo said, and walked to the redhead.
"Huh?..." Renji questioned, and looked into Ichigo's eyes. He noticed Ichigo wasn't feeling right about these circumstances. "Right.."
Ichigo pulled Renji's arm around his neck and helped him stand up.
A gasp of pain came out of Renji's mouth but the orange head ignored it. He wanted to get out right now, he had had enough of all this.
The both of them stumbled slowly out of the room, followed by objections from the group.
"You can't! He's not stable yet!" Hanatrou yelled, but he was too late; Renji had been carried away by Ichigo. They were at the door (which had been smashed out of its doorpost) already and moved on to step outside.
Ichigo was surprised that no-one tried to hold him up. He looked at his companion and noticed Renji's grin.
"What's so funny?" Ichigo asked as he walked on the pavement, back to his house.
"Nothing, but I'm okay Ichigo, I can walk on my own, thank you." He winked at the other and made Ichigo blush.
"You sure?.." The other asked his companion, and looked worried at Renji's chest.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Renji replied, and grabbed to his chest. "You're really worried 'bout me, ain't ye?" He continued, and smirked at Ichigo.
"Yeah, I really am…" Ichigo sarcastically said, and he gave Renji a gentle push on his back.
Renji coughed, and lost his balance on the curve of the pavement. He tripped and had fallen down if Ichigo hadn't caught him.
They looked in each others eyes and felt like they were supposed to be with each other like salt and pepper, like the sea and the beach1.
Just when their lips were close enough to touch each other, a dark cloud moved in front of the sun and made everything covered in shadow. A loud thunder and flash of lightning shocked the boys and made them separate their lips.
Small drops of rain fell from the sky, wetting the orangehead and the redhead.
"Let's hurry." Renji said, and he pulled Ichigo on his arm.
They ran to Ichigo's house trying to avoid the big storm which was coming up, quickly picked up Renji's 'dumped' Gigai and continued running. Dark clouds had gathered and the raindrops multiplied and became bigger and bigger.
When they were just inside Ichigo's house it poured down and they were lucky to be inside.
"We're back!" Ichigo yelled, to inform his family that they were back at home.
But there came no answer.
"Hello?!" Ichigo questioned, and he walked to the kitchen.
"I guess they're out…" Renji noticed, and he followed the other to the kitchen. "What's this?" he noticed, and took a small note from the dining table.
"What?..." Ichigo asked confused, he turned around and saw the small note in Renji's hands. "Give me that!" He continued, and quickly snapped it out of the redhead's fingers.
"Ey, take it easy…" The other objected, and read along over Ichigo's shoulder. "Hmm…" Renji sighed, and turned around to the refrigerator. "Got anything to drink?" He asked, and opened the door.
"Yeah…take whatever you like. Give me some coke please (2)." Ichigo answered, and walked back to the living room. He pulled out his wet jacket and hung it up next to the door.
"So, you're all alone this week?" Renji questioned, and turned around to gaze at Ichigo.
"Yeah…probably…" Ichigo said annoying. "They're off for the week. Btw. How long are you staying here?"
"Err… I don't know, as long as you don't kick me out I guess." Renji replied, and opened one of the cupboards.
"Are you plundering my kitchen?" Ichigo asked curious, and took a peek in the kitchen. The kitchen counter was full of food and drinks.
"Renji…I think that's enough for both of us." Ichigo mentioned, and walked to Renji to take some of the food with him back to the living room.
"I know, but I'm hungry. And you just said, and I quote: "Take whatever you like." The other replied, and took the rest of the food to the other room.
Ichigo ignored Renji, plopped down on the couch and made himself comfortable.
The redhead put the stuff down on the small table in front of the television and plopped down next to the other.
"Aren't you still in pain?" Ichigo questioned, and gazed at the other's chest wondering if Renji was just playing 'cool-guy'.
"Nah…Hanatarou is a fine doctor. He healed me pretty good. Probably because he had practise on me, with all the losing I did." Renji explained grinning at Ichigo. His concern about him was kind of cute.
Ichigo gazed at the other, wondering what Renji was thinking about. That grin on his face made him feel weird. He decided to leave it and just watch some TV. Ichigo searched for the remote control and found it between the bags of chips and Renji's glass with coke (3).
"Are we gonna watch some TV? Cool, that's been a while…" The redhead said happily, leaning against the back of the couch.
"Yeah, I bet you're right." Ichigo laughed, and turned the television on.
He zapped from one channel to the other; there was nothing really interesting on it. And with every other channel Ichigo came on, Renji made him stop and wanted to watch the shows.
They finally found a dumb movie they both liked and started to eat and drink some of the food Renji had sorted out.
Suddenly Ichigo stood up and walked to the window.
"It's dark already, time flies by so quickly." He randomly said, closed the curtains and put on some lights.
"Oew…cosy" Renji said, and watched Ichigo sitting down on the couch.
The orange haired boy crawled into the corner of the couch, heaved up his legs and rested them next to him on a pillow.
"Do ye have some candles, Ichi?" Renji questioned and stood up to search in some cupboards next to the television.
"Yeah, in that trunk over there." Ichigo explained, and pointed a finger at a big old trunk with fake locks at the front.
"Where's the key?" The other asked, frowning at Ichigo.
"There's no need for keys, the lock's fake. Just open it." Ichigo annoyingly said as he watched the redhead fumble with the lid of the trunk. "Careful! It's very precious to my dad."
Renji was finally able to open it and immediately found the candles and matchboxes.
He put one on a small table next to Ichigo's spot on the couch, and one on the strewn little table in front of them.
Renji sat down and watched some TV, only to be diverted by Ichigo. And then, he finally saw it!
He looked at Ichigo and his breath stocked as the candlelight beautifully shone on Ichigo's face, his brown eyes beautifully lit up and his lips shone in the pale light So inviting; was the only thought that crossed Renji's mind.
Time passed by and Renji slowly moved closer to Ichigo bit by bit, hoping that the other wouldn't notice it.
Renji's little plan had worked, the orange head hadn't noticed one bit. Renji suddenly got a nice idea; he poked Ichigo, getting the reaction he had hoped for.
Ichigo squirmed under the touch and jumped up, glancing at Renji in a shocked manner.
"What did you do that for?!" He questioned seriously, as he crawled back in the corner of the comfy couch.
Renji didn't reply, an evil smirk playing on his lips as his fingers subconsciously started to tickle Ichigo's body.
Ichigo squirmed again, pushing Renji's hands away.
"Stop it! Stop!...Renji,… cut it out!" Ichigo yelped, and now used his feet to stop Renji of tickling him.
"What? You don't like it?" Renji questioned evilly, and sat down on Ichigo's waist, using his legs to stop Ichigo from struggling. He continued tickling and enjoyed the ticklish orange-head's reactions.
"RENJI! Stop!" Ichigo giggled, still trying to stop Renji.
"But you like it…" Renji replied chuckling, and tickled Ichigo under his armpits.
"No I don't…now stop it!" The other objected, pushing Renji's hands away.
"Then why are you giggling?" The red-head asked, and he stopped tickling, gazing at the other's face.
"Thanks, now get off of me." The orange-head demanded, and struggled with his legs to move Renji away from him.
"You wish." The other said meanly, and he started tickling again.
Suddenly Ichigo remembered the wound on Renji's chest. He used his knuckles and pounced hard but still gently, because he didn't want Renji to suffer on it, against Renji's chest.
Renji groaned, and let go of Ichigo falling back on the couch.
"Ouch, that hurts, dammit." Renji cursed.
Ichigo used this movements and now sat down on Renji, using his legs to stop Renji from struggling.
"Ey, what's the meaning of this?" the other asked, actually enjoying it.
Ichigo grinned and started to tickle Renji.
"Haha, that won't work on me." Renji laughed, and grabbed Ichigo's hands. The other was surprised but cooperated with the red-head. Renji moved their hands and rested them next to his head. He moved his head closer to the other and gazed into the hazel-brown eyes of the orange-head.
Ichigo gazed back and sealed the gap between the two of them making it into a kiss.
They fumbled with each other's tongues and touched each others bodies.
Suddenly the telephone rang.
Ichigo broke the kiss to pick up the phone. The red-head watched Ichigo, and grinned at his face when the other watched him. Ichigo smiled back and listened to the phone.
"Ichigo! I'm sorry, we left without telling, but we're fine over here…we'll be back in a few days. Is everything ok there?" a voice at the other and of the phone said.
"Yeah, everything's fine here. We're just watching some TV." Ichigo replied to the voice.
"Okay, that's good. Who's we?" the other asked.
"Renji and I." Ichigo answered, and glanced at Renji who was playing with the fire of a candle.
"Aha, okay I must go now, bye bye."
"Bye."
"Who was that?" Renji curiously asked, still playing with the fire.
"My father, they'll be back in a few days, he said." The orange-head replied. "Stop playing with that! That's dangerous. If you don't watch out my house will burn down." he continued annoyed.
"Okay, I get the point. Chill out…" The other said, and stopped playing with it.
"Thanks…" Ichigo said annoyed.
Renji said back on the couch and set the TV louder.
They watched some dumb show, ate some chips and drank cokes.
Suddenly Ichigo felt drowsy and fell asleep against Renji's shoulder. The other grinned and stroked over Ichigo's head.
