Ten more sentence fics for the 64 Damn Prompts. These are prompts 11-20 for the pairing ByaRen. Yes, I am kind of obsessed with this pairing. Don't judge.
I really have nothing more to say except that the first chapter got zero response. This is fine. I know sentence fics are kind of boring, and I'm perfectly content just doing them as an exercise in writing and inspiration. However, I do crave validation, so if you give a review, I would really appreciate it. Requests for future pairings are always welcomed, although I cannot guarantee that they will be written based on whether they fit with my headcanon.
Enjoy!
11. animal
Everything about Renji from his tattoos to his zanpakuto to his fighting style was more than a little animalistic, and Byakuya was eternally grateful that he had been allowed to at least somewhat tame him.
12. children
Whenever Byakuya walked through Rukongai with Renji, he couldn't help but see his lover's smile in every grungy face.
13. we all float on
When you live as long as shinigami do, things like almost killing your impetuous fukutaichou and now lover with both words and blades eventually just became so much water under the bridge.
14. chess
Renji let Byakuya believe that a Rukongai dog could never win at a "noble's game" until he quietly moved his bishop into checkmate.
15. duty
Byakuya knew that it was their duty as shinigami to face Aizen, to throw themselves into the midst of danger in the cause of protection, but that did not ease the sting of knowing that somewhere in Hueco Mundo, Renji was risking his life and there was nothing his taichou could do about it.
16. rip
Although he would not confirm anything, Byakuya may have started joining his men in sparring just so he could watch Senbonzakura tear Renji's shihakusho off petal by petal.
17. missing time
In times of peace they had danced around each other, but when danger arose they finally discovered their feelings just as duty drew them towards danger and away from each other.
18. crest
Renji had not been at all worried when Kariya tried to unleash the Jokai Crest; even before the mass of cherry blossoms crested the horizon, he could feel his taichou's voice as he unleashed his bankai.
19. itch
Renji was rather useful as both a fukutaichou and a lover, whether Byakuya needed a sparring partner, a homemade dinner, or someone to reach the itch on his back.
20. explode
The tension between them was so palpable that it had exploded twice; first when their blades met, then their bodies.
