I do not own Bleach, the characters, or any of the settings.

Hey, I'm back with chapter 5. I know I said I was only going to make 5 chapters, but I changed my mind. I am now going to have 6 chapters. Why? Because I wanted to…sue me (not really!)

Anyway, here it is…as always tell me what I did wrong if you have a critique and enjoy. Also, I know I have a bit of trouble with past and present tense agreement. I tried really hard to keep it consistent this time, but if I screwed up just pretend like you didn't see it.

After what felt like only minutes of being asleep, Renji finds himself being lightly shaken awake. He opens his eyes to see Byakuya looking down at him and for a moment he forgets where he is, "What's going on?"

Byakuya strokes Renji's crimson hair for a moment before pushing a strand behind the Lieutenant's ear, "You are in my bedroom where you spent the night. I am waking you up because Rukia will be here in an hour."

The redhead groans and rubs the sleep from his eyes, "What if she doesn't approve and I screw up both our relationships with her?"

"You worry too much, Renji." The nobleman stands up still completely nude from their nights activities and extends a hand out to his new boyfriend, "Come now, Renji. We need to shower before she arrives. We will save time if we shower together."

The tattooed man gives Byakuya a smirk, "Is that the only reason to shower together…to save time?" He takes his lover's pale hand and is hoisted from the futon just as bare as his Captain.

"Only if that is what you want, but I was thinking of more interesting activities to go along with the shower." He gives Renji a very uncharacteristic wink as he leads the redhead to the very large bathroom.

The two shinigami enter the bathroom where Byakuya promptly opens the shower door and shoves his Lieutenant inside. The dark haired Captain follows the redhead into the shower and closes the glass door behind him. The Kuchiki heir reaches a pale hand out and turns the water on making he and Renji shiver from the chill of the sudden blast of cold water spraying on their naked bodies, but the water doesn't take long to warm up. Byakuya pins Renji's arms above his head against the shower wall and brings their lips together in a hard kiss forcing his tongue into the redhead's mouth, but said redhead doesn't mind at all as he deepens the kiss by twisting his tongue around his lover's skillful tongue.

The kiss is sloppy, but neither man cares as their lips clash together hungrily. When the kiss ends, Renji lets out a disappointed whimper at the loss of those soft lips pressing against his, but the nobleman just gives the redhead a look of amusement, "If you moved in then we could partake in activities of this nature every morning."

The second seat doesn't get a chance to respond as he feels his Captain's erection grind forcefully into his own. Renji lets out a moan of satisfaction as the noble continues grinding against him and brings those soft lips down to his tattooed neck and nibbles his way down to his subordinate's shoulder where he bites the shoulder playfully. The redhead's brown eyes close as he takes in all the glorious feelings Byakuya is bestowing on his wet, naked body, "Mmm, B-Byakuya…(groan) n-no more…teasing. I need (moan)…I need you!"

Byakuya releases Renji's hands and places his own hands on the Vice-Captain's shoulders spinning him to face the shower wall, "It is just as well, Renji. Teasing will take up too much of our time." The sixth Captain grabs a bottle of expensive body wash from one of the large shelves inside the enormous shower, "Place your hands on the wall and spread your legs like a good boy."

Renji does as he's told making Byakuya smile as he pours some of the body wash into his open palm and lathers the content between his hands. He then takes his soapy finger and traces his Lieutenant's spine up and down very slowly causing goose bumps to appear on the redhead's tattooed flesh even though the cascading shower water is very warm. The sixth Captain slides his slender finger along Renji's spine a few more times before letting it slip between the cleft in the redhead's firm ass cheeks where he lightly circles Renji's trembling hole with his calloused fingertip, "Ah! I thought…(groan) I thought you said…n-no more …(sigh) teasing!"

The nobleman continues to caress Renji's most intimate place as he smirks, "I did say that, didn't I?" Byakuya then pushes his fingertip into the squeezing heat of the crimson haired Soul Reaper.

Renji lets out a pleased gasp at feeling his Captain's index finger enter him, "Mmm…I want…(sigh) more!" Before Byakuya can grant the redhead's request, the Lieutenant pushes his ass back making the nobleman's finger slip in up to the second knuckle causing said redhead to shudder with pleasure, "Please, Byakuya!"

"Patience is a virtue, Renji." The Kuchiki heir adds a second soapy finger before plunging them both all the way in making Renji whimper. As Byakuya pumps his fingers in and out of his subordinate's tight hole with one hand, he uses his other hand to coat his own erection with the body wash. Groans from both men can be heard emanating from the shower and the dark haired shinigami finds that he can't wait any longer as he removes his fingers.

Before Renji can complain or question the sudden removal of Byakuya's fingers, he feels himself being turned back around with his back against the wet shower wall and feels the Captain's warm lips against his own. He then feels the noble's rough hands caress the backs of his legs and Renji knows exactly what his Captain wants. The redhead quickly lifts his legs to wrap around Byakuya's toned waist making the raven haired Captain break the kiss, "You learn quickly, Renji."

The tattooed second seat can feel the head of Byakuya's cock brushing against his entrance, "I just want you to…to fuck me."

"There is nothing I would like to do more than just that." Byakuya places his hands on the ass cheeks of his lover and spreads the firm flesh apart as he helps Renji lower himself down around his throbbing cock. Both men close their eyes as the two of them wait for Renji to adjust.

The redhead opens his brown eyes and digs his nails into the sixth Captain's pale shoulders as he tries to sink down lower on the raven haired man's cock, "Please, Byakuya…fuck me now!"

The pale nobleman opens his grey eyes as well and thrusts hard into the inviting heat of his scarlet haired lover making them both sigh with the relief of coming together. Byakuya latches his lips to the wet neck of his partner and kisses it forcefully as he continues pumping furiously into the redhead, "I-I…love you…(moan), Renji!"

Renji grips the Captain's shoulders tighter as he tries to push himself down to meet Byakuya's thrusts, "Shhh, I know…h-harder!"

Byakuya can feel the warm water hitting his back and the feeling of Renji's fingernails piercing the skin of his shoulder as well as the rhythmic pulsing of the Lieutenant's opening lightly squeezing his swollen cock and he decides that he couldn't have asked for a better lover. He also wonders what Renji's answer will be to his invitation. He felt certain the tattooed man would accept, but the nobleman still felt a little nervous because he couldn't be completely certain of someone else's feelings and decisions.

He hears the younger man whimper which brings him out of his thoughts and he realizes that he's never going to be able to thrust at the right angle to do any good in this position, "Renji…(gasp) st-stop moving for a…for a moment."

A desperate gleam glitters in the redhead's eyes, but he does as he's told and stops moving as Byakuya steadies Renji's weight by placing his hands underneath his lover's body and pulls him away from the shower wall. The redhead feels himself shifting as his back separates from the wall and he wraps his muscular arms around the Captain's neck, "What are we doing?"

"Trust me…this will feel better." The raven haired Soul Reaper smile as he sits at the bottom of the shower without ever leaving his Lieutenant's body with said Lieutenant's legs on either side of the Captain's legs. Renji looks at the older man with confusion in his eyes at not being sure if he could begin moving again, but before he can ask, Byakuya speaks, "Now, you control how deep or fast your pleasure occurs."

This was odd in Renji's opinion. It wasn't that he was opposed to this position, but usually when the Captain decided to be seme then he wanted to be in control of everything. Renji can see the impatience in Byakuya's eyes at his hesitance and the redhead decides that at this point it doesn't really matter. Renji removes his arms from around Byakuya's neck and once again places them on the noble's shoulders for leverage as he raises his ass up and plunges back down onto the nobleman's cock with a wet sound. He continues his up and down motion at an experimental pace until he looks down to see the blissful expression on his Captain's face and he speeds up his movements. Byakuya lets out a loud groan as he feels the smooth, tight walls of his lover slide against the over sensitive skin of his arousal, "F-faster, Renji!"

The Kuchiki heir grips the redhead's hips with his pale hands and helps him increase the speed by lifting him up and just letting gravity do its job on the way back down. Renji closes his eyes once again as he continues to ride the sixth Captain with the feel of the water spraying and dripping between their sweaty and writhing bodies. Finally, the red haired second seat brings his ass down hard and lets out a pleasure-filled cry, "Oh, fuck! Feels…(moan) good!"

Byakuya lifts his hips as best as he can from his position on the shower floor as he releases one of Renji's hips and grasps the Lieutenant's ignored cock and pumps it in the same rhythm as Renji's up and down motion, "Don't…st-stop, Renji!"

The redhead opens his eyes again to watch his dark haired lover jerk him off as he rides said lover's cock vigorously, "I-I'm…gonna cum!"

Before the tattooed man can make good on his exclamation, the noble moves his hand back to the damp hip of his lover and quickly shifts their position making Renji's back hit the shower floor with a wet smack as the water splashes up around their bodies. Byakuya is now between his Lieutenant's legs and takes over the work by snapping his hips forcefully forward and burying his length deep inside the younger man. Renji wraps his legs around the Captain's waist and feels the powerful surges of ecstasy flow through him as Byakuya slams into his sweet spot over and over again. Finally, the redhead's back arches off the shower floor with a yell, "Oh, gods…I'm…(groan)…I'm cumming!"

The Vice-Captain's orgasm erupts between their bodies and the spraying water washes his essence off their skin and down the drain. It only takes a few more powerful thrusts into Renji's convulsing, heated hole before Byakuya spills his climax into the trembling redhead with a conclusive moan, "Oh, Renji…ah!"

The Lieutenant lets his head rest against the shower floor as he tries to catch his breath and the dark haired Captain rests his head on his lover's chest. The water continues to descend down on their hot skin as they recover from their morning love making. Byakuya leaves Renji's body and sits up as well as help the redhead sit up. He kisses Renji's lips tenderly before reaching for the body wash and lathering the liquid against his lover's marked skin.

The noble helps to wash the second seat's body and only speaks when he's behind his lover and he begins massaging/washing Renji's shoulders and back, "I want you to know that no matter how Rukia reacts nor what your answer to my invitation may be I will still love you and want you." The sixth Captain puts the body wash away and reaches for the shampoo. He only begins speaking again as he washes the ruby colored locks of the younger man, "Do not think that you have to say yes to my invitation just because it is what I want. I will wait until you are ready. As far as Rukia goes, I do not think you have anything to be nervous about."

Byakuya massages Renji's scalp with his fingertips eliciting a comforted sigh from the redhead, but worry is still present in his voice, "What makes you so sure about Rukia?"

The Kuchiki heir pulls Renji's body against his own and lets the shower spray cleanse the tattooed man of all the soap and shampoo, "I am often times jealous of how much Rukia loves you. She will be happy and accepting simply because you are happy."

"I hope you're right about that." The feel of Byakuya's heart beat and the sound of his breathing calms the Lieutenant more than his words of assurance.

The head of the Kuchiki Clan smiles as he tightens his embrace on the man in his arms, "We shall see soon enough, Renji. We must hurry and become presentable. Rukia will be here in the next half hour or so." Renji nods as he returns the favor and helps the Captain with his washing.

The two Soul Reapers manage to get dressed with a few minutes left to spare before Rukia's arrival and wait in the tea room. Byakuya gives the still worried looking Renji a soft peck on the lips to try and reassure him, "I will talk with her and get her comfortable before you join us at the table. Are you going to be alright, Renji?"

The redhead nods, "Yeah, I just hope I don't throw up."

One of Byakuya's servants enters the tea room to inform them of Rukia's arrival. Byakuya nods and the servant leaves, but when the noble turns to face his lover again he can see that all the color has drained from Renji's face, "Deep breaths, Renji. It will all be over soon." Renji does as he's told and takes in a few deep breaths making the noble smile. The redhead returns the smile as best as he can before the Captain leaves the tea room to go and greet Rukia.

The nobleman walks into the dining room to see that the servants have already seated Rukia, "Good morning, Rukia. I am glad that you could dine with me this morning."

He sits down across from his sister as she nods with respect, "Of course, brother. I'm always happy to be invited."

"Rukia, you know you do not have to be invited to dine with me." The servants bring out the Kuchiki sibling's tea and the nobleman takes a sip.

Rukia does the same before voicing her reply, "I know that, but you're always so busy and I don't' want to barge in if you're busy…not to mention I have my own duties and…"

The raven haired Captain holds up a hand to silence her, "You are babbling, Rukia."

"I'm terribly sorry, brother." She takes another sip of her tea as her cheeks redden from embarrassment.

Byakuya ignores her apology in order to get right to the point, "There is something I wish to discuss with you. You are not in trouble." He notices the scared gleam leave her eyes at knowing she is not there to be reprimanded.

The servants bring out their breakfast and after a quick blessing, Rukia digs right in, but Byakuya lets his breakfast remain untouched, "What do we need to talk about? I hope nothing's wrong."

"No, nothing is wrong." He laces his long fingers together and places them in his lap, "I actually have good news."

Her eyes brighten and she swallows the food in her mouth, "That's great. What good thing has happened?"

Byakuya's cheeks dust pink, but the petite shinigami doesn't notice the color seeing as she is so absorbed in her breakfast. He didn't realize why Renji was so nervous until now. This confession is more difficult than he ever thought it would be, "I am…(clears throat) in love with someone."

Rukia chokes on the food she just swallowed and coughs violently, "In love? With who?"

The Captain's grey eyes widen at her unbecoming behavior, but he doesn't scold her for fear that she may choke worse than she already is, "Before we get to that, I would like to say a few things on the matter." Rukia nods before taking a large gulp of tea. The nobleman pretends not to see her ill-mannered gulping and begins speaking, "I would like for you to realize that this relationship is not just a sexual fling, but…"

Before the sixth Captain can finish his sentence his adopted sister spits out the tea she'd just sipped across table, "You and whoever have had sex?"

"Yes, several times, but I have to say that your behavior this morning is very inappropriate." He gives her a stern look hoping that the younger Kuchiki would act more lady-like.

She picks up her napkin in her small hand and wipes the tea from her mouth, "I am incredibly sorry, brother. You just took me by surprise. Please, forgive my rude behavior."

"You are forgiven, but try to remember your manners, Rukia." She nods and he continues, "Now, as I was saying, this love is not just a fling. I have true feelings for this person and I want you to know that this new relationship does not mean that I have forgotten Hisana. I just…"

"I think it's great." She gives her older brother a big smile.

Only his eyes show his surprise at her quick acceptance, "Do you really?"

"Whoever this person is obviously makes you happy. I can tell because your eyes are all sparkly and you're blushing." She giggles softly at the pink tint on the noble's cheeks, "No one ever said that if your spouse dies you have to be lonely for the rest of your life." She smiles again at Byakuya's silence, "So, when do I get to meet this lucky girl?"

The Kuchiki heir clears his throat and tries to keep his pink blush from spreading at his younger sister's question, "Well, you see…through the years it seems as if my preferences have changed somewhat."

Her black eyebrows come together in confusion, "What does that mean?"

"Perhaps, it would be easier for you to understand if you were to just meet my lover." He turns his gaze to the tea room door and Rukia follows his line of vision, "You may join us now."

The tiny Soul Reaper holds her breath as she waits for her brother's lover to emerge from the tea room, but to Rukia's confusion Renji appears through the doorway and steps over the threshold, "Renji? What are you doing here?"

The redhead laughs nervously as he scratches the back of his head, "Well, I took your advice and told him how I felt and whataya know…he felt the same way."

Rukia looks back and forth between her best friend and her brother with a shocked look on her face, "But, my brother's new lover is…" She looks at Renji, but then shifts her gaze back to Byakuya, "And, the amazingly hot, gay sex was with…no…really?"

The two men nod and she looks at each of their faces one last time before her eyes roll back in her head and she falls out of her chair to the floor unconscious. Byakuya and Renji make their way to the passed out shinigami to make sure she's alright. The noble is the first to speak after insuring that she is in fact okay, "She took the news better than I thought she would."

"I guess so."

Byakuya stands up wit his petite sister in his arms, "I will take her to her bedroom where you will stay with her while I report to the Sixth Division. She will want to speak with you when she wakes anyway." He takes her to her bedroom and lays her down on the futon with Renji close behind, "You may rendezvous with me at the Sixth when the two of you are done speaking." Before Renji can say anything, Byakuya flash steps from the manor and towards the Squad Six Building leaving him alone with his best friend.

Within the next ten minutes, Rukia blinks her violet eyes a few times and finally notices her scarlet haired best friend sitting next to her. He smiles when she sits up rubbing her temples, "Hey, are you okay? I was worried about you."

The dark haired woman blinks a few more times before answering Renji, "Yeah, I'm okay, but I had the weirdest dream that you and my brother were a couple and the two of you had sex with each other."

The redhead takes in a deep breath and places his large hands on Rukia's shoulders, "That wasn't a dream, Rukia. That really happened." Her eyes widen and Renji takes his hands from her shoulders to shield himself from her possible wrath, "I'm sorry, Rukia! Are ya mad? I wouldn't blame ya if you were, but things between me and Byakuya just happened!"

"Renji! Calm down, I'm not mad."

He lowers his hands and gives her an astonished look, "Y-you aren't?"

"No." She shakes her head and lets out a sigh, "Why would I be mad? I am a bit annoyed, but not mad."

His tattooed brow wrinkles in bewilderment at her statement, "Huh? Why are you annoyed?"

"I'm annoyed because I'm your best friend and you should have told me who you were sleeping with the other day when we were talking about it." She lets out another sigh when she sees his frown, "I could have kept my mouth shut because I care about you and my brother."

Renji fixes his gaze on the edge of her futon so as not to look at Rukia's hurt face, "I'm sorry, Rukia. I didn't tell ya because I thought it would be awkward for ya to know that your best friend and your brother were screwing."

She places her small hand under Renji's chin and lifts his face up to face her again, "It is a little awkward, but if my brother makes you happy and if the two of you love each other then I can learn to get over my awkwardness." She gives him a gentle smile, "I think it's wonderful that you can make my brother open up and blush like that."

The Lieutenant blushes himself at Rukia's comment, "Yeah, I'm glad I took your advice." He returns her smile, "So are we good now…you're really not mad?"

"I could never be mad at you…at least not for very long. So yeah, we're good." She opens her arms and he leans into her hug.

When the embrace ends, Renji stands up and helps his small friend up as well, "I gotta head to Squad Six."

"I'll walk with you. I need to speak with my brother before I head off to the Living World."

The redhead's cheeks turn pink at her statement, "Oh, I forgot about that."

She notices his blush and can't help but question it, "Why are you blushing, Renji?"

"Um, would ya mind not telling Ichigo about me and Byakuya?" His pink cheeks turn a deep shade of red, but Rukia doesn't mention it.

"Yeah, sure…but, I don't see what the big deal is." They leave the Kuchiki manor and begin walking toward the Sixth Division.

"Just don't, okay?"

"Okay, I promise." She loops her arm through his as they continue their short journey to the Sixth Division.

Renji enters the building and immediately sits at his desk as Rukia and Byakuya step outside the door to speak. The Lieutenant wishes he had talked to Rukia about Byakuya's invitation, but he knew she had to get all the last minute things together before she left for the Living World. Not to mention, he felt like he should handle some aspects of their relationship on his own. The Captain walks back into the office and gives Renji a nod, but he goes back to his own work without a word.

The rest of the work day is uneventful, but Renji finds it hard to get much work done. The only reason why Renji even finishes his work at all is because Byakuya shows pity on him and helps him with half a stack of paperwork. He knows that his decision should be simple, but he just can't stop doubting himself. When the end of the work day finally rolls around the feeling is bittersweet for the tattooed shinigami. The end of the day is sweet because he gets to walk beside his Captain on the way back to the manor, but it is bitter because he knows he will have to make a his decision very soon.

TBC…

See you next time for the last chapter…I promise this time!
