AN: this is going to be a really long chapter
Encounters
Seiko awoke the following Sunday morning feeling lively more than usual. Remembering back to last night's sudden meeting with the handsome red headed fox, he found it strange they had such awkward connection and couldn't help but to wait until their next encounter. Getting out of bed lazily, not giving a damn with his ruffled appearance he walked downstairs to see Oba cheerfully cooking breakfast while watching the local news.
"Mornin Oba!" a cheerful Seiko greeted while gliding down the stairs.
"Good Morning to you too Koko." Replying as she watched her grandson gracefully maneuver his way onto the couch. "Well aren't you glowing this morning huh? I take it that you must have snuck some company over while I was away" she said with a cheesy grin making her way over to the couch and nudging the energetic teen.
"Ummm no, and why kind of grandmother encourages children to do sexual antics?"
"I'm not encouraging I was just asking. I need to know if my little baby is active, I have condoms and dental dam in the top drawer of my dresser if you need to know""
"Yea I don't think I'll need those... but thanks I think? Anyways after you left I went out to the embankment to watch the fireworks for the back to school celebration."
"Oh how was it? Did you have fun? Make new friends? Get any digits?" the elderly woman bombarded him with questions as she made her way back to the kitchen.
"I missed the fireworks but I met someone. That's about it" purposely leaving the part out that it was Renji the red headed so called 'thug'.
"So what are you going to do since school doesn't start till next Monday?" Oba questioned while fixing their omelets onto two plates.
"I dunno, go shopping for my room, school supplies, new clothes and other miscellaneous stuff. I think I will do all that today after breakfast." They boy said then devouring the delicious gourmet egg.
"That's fine, I'm meeting up with Edna and the girls for our book discussion today" oba stated while holding a book up named Fifty Shades of Grey. "And also share out juicy sex stories on how we can relate to this." With that being said ruining the rest of Seiko's appetite he was about to get up when he heard the doorbell ring. Going up to the door and opening it was Ichigo and Orihime standing at the doorstep making Seiko peep his head out to see if Renji was anywhere about, he didn't want to be caught dead looking so atrocious.
"Yo Seiko, see you didn't make it last night." Ichigo announced with a hint of disappoint.
"You didn't get to meet the rest of our friends last night, everyone was there" Orihime chimed in.
"I know I know, I was on my way then I ran into someone like literally, matter of fact it was your friend Renji, and by the time we made it to the spot it was over."
"Oh so you met the air head huh?" Ichigo said chuckling.
"Yea, he's pretty cool. Speaking of him, umm where is he? Seiko questioned. "Didn't he sleep at your place?"
"He had to take care of some business but he'll be around later but we came over to ask if you wanted to hang downtown today." This was convenient Seiko thought to himself, Ichigo's timing couldn't be any more perfect.
"Sounds fun, c'mon in you can meet my grandmother while I get dressed" he said while dragging the blondes through the door.
"Oba we have company for a minute!" he bellowed through the house while pointing to the couch letting Ichigo and Orihime know to sit there. "I'll be up stairs, I won't be long at all" Seiko announced while walking up the stairs. Oba entered the living room to see two blondes sitting on her couch, an attractive blonde girl with a pair of unusually large breast and the kurosaki boy. Oba made a noise through her throat to get the pair's attention.
"Kurosaki boy." She stated plainly while glaring him in the eyes. "Glad to see you're not wearing those hideous black robes." Turning her attention to Orihime slightly intimidating the girl.
"And you are?" oba stated demanding.
"Ori-Orhime Inoue ma'am" she said sheepishly. She was quite intimidated by Seiko's grandmother and the fact Ichigo was intimidated also was about to make her go insane.
"What a gorgeous name for a gorgeous young gal!" Oba exclaimed. "Beautiful hair, beautiful breast, beautiful everything!"
As oba continued to drown Orihime in compliments Ichigo found his way upstairs to Seiko's room where he walked on him getting dressed. Luckily Seiko had already managed to put on his black briefs before Ichigo saw anything else.
"Knock Knock" Ichigo said while walking in the room making himself comfortable on the bed.
"The fuck do you think you're doing?" Seiko questioned while furrowing his brows, he was seriously confused how Ichigo was so comfortable being around other guys half naked or maybe it was only Seiko who had this problem.
"Your grandmother down there doesn't seem too fond of me; she seems to adore Orihime though. That's why I came up here" he plainly stated as he threw himself back on to Seiko's bed inhaling the sweet scent of coconut. "But you need c'mon it's been like 15 minutes. The others are going to be waiting on us"
"The others?" Seiko questioned while throwing a pair of jeans on that were ripped at the knees, a white t-shirt and his favorite pair of black and white vans. "Renji gona be there?" Seiko questioned anxiously.
"Maybe. Jeez you guys must have really hit it off last night" Ichigo stated while thinking why Seiko was so concerned with Renji's whereabouts.
"It's not even like that Ichigo; we just seem to… get along. You said it yourself we would!" Seiko interjected. Recalling back to the moment in Ichigo's room, "You said because of our long hair."
"I was really kidding but it seemed like you really guys did, but it's cool though. I think you and Renji should be closer" Ichigo paused as he thought about the awkward situation with Renji and Rukia, it was evident that Rukia didn't look at Renji more than just a friend and she often tried to tell him but just couldn't bear to break his heart. He figured Seiko could distract him from that with a new friendship. Snapping out of his trance Ichigo continued. "But we should really get going" finishing his explanation.
"Your right, I'm ready, let's go" Seiko replied while tying his hair up in a messy bun
The two made their way downstairs to see Oba and Orihime into a deep serious conversation about something. The only things Seiko heard was 'confess' and 'feelings'. Deciding to ask Oba or Orihime questions later about their conversation the trio made their way onto the streets of Karakura to downtown.
Downtown Karakura was pretty crowded with people bustling about. It was a different atmosphere than the housing area but Seiko enjoyed the new feeling, it gave him a familiarity of Los Angeles. Walking about Orihime and Ichigo casually exchanged words discussing small things that Seiko could not comprehend. Observing the pair Seiko could tell the pair had certain chemistry and wondered why they haven't considered dating. It was so obvious Orihime had feelings for Ichigo but Seiko questioned if Ichigo had the mutual feeling, He figured that was the conversation Oba and Orihime must have been so absorbed in. Deciding to give the 'couple' some alone time and not wanting to be a third wheel Seiko wanted to have a look around for his self.
"Hey guys if you don't mind I'm gona look around myself for a minute" interrupting the two's conversation.
"Sure, meet us at the hibachi restaurant in an hour though. We all can enjoy lunch together if you want" Orihime chimed with a smile and Ichigo giving a thumb up while they walked off.
Seiko decided to start at a clothing department store that he was standing next to. When he entered it he automatically saw a voluptuous blonde woman raging through departments. She looked like she was shopping as if her life depended on it. She was caring pile full of clothes on one arm while the other explored the various racks of clothes in another. Seiko decided to help the woman who liked she was in dire need of assistance.
"Do you need help lady?" Seiko questioned while approaching the garment hungry woman.
"Huh?" the woman peered over pile clothes to see a short petite peanut butter toned teen with a look of concern. "Oh no! I'm fine. Thanks for asking though. I was just on my way out, I couldn't help but to look at these gorgeous dresses" the woman said as she peeled her eyes of the clothing. She headed for the door although she didn't look like she wasn't going to be able to open it herself so he opened it for her.
"Thanks kid." She said with a genuine warm smile. "Your hair is gorgeous by the way" with that comment the voluptuous blonde made her way out the store leaving Seiko with a grin on his.
Seiko turned to see what remained in the store but it looked like a vast wasteland.
"Well so much for shopping here" as he made his exit.
He continued his way down the strip looking at store after store until he was stopped by two odd men. One was a tall bald headed man with what looked like he was wearing red eye liner and a feminine man sporting a black hair bob with a braid in the front also having feathers protruding from the sides of his hair and both his eyes sport extended eyelashes with a white scarf.
"Excuse me young sir, would you be so kind to inform us where there is a decent clothing store" the feminine man questioned. "As you can see here my friend is in urgent need of new clothes" the feather man said in disgust.
"Shut the fuck up Yumichika!" the bald man bellowed "It's not even that serious".
"Oh hush Ikkaku, and apparently it is" Yumichika said looking at Ikkaku up and down.
"Ummm well I'm new around here so I kind of don't know although I just left a pretty decent department store but this gorgeous busty blonde woman basically bought the store out." Seiko said intervening in the 'lovers quarrel'.
"Rangiku" the two men hissed in unison. "That damn broad has no right" Yumichika announced.
"Whoa there, let's calm this down, you guys knew each other? Maybe she was shopping for two of you" Seiko said trying to calm the glamorous man down.
"That bitch wouldn't know fashion if it hit her with a truck!" he bellowed. while suddenly calming down Yumichika approached Seiko even closer. "Unlike you though, you're pretty exotic looking. Your hair, your complexion is just simply beautiful, and it's all so natural" Yumichika whispered while pulling out Seiko's hair tie and letting his curls cascade down his back. Seiko didn't know what to do; this man was so bold, a little too damn bold for his liking. Yumichika grabbed a few strands of Seiko's hair rubbing it between his fingers.
"So silky." Yumichika added.
"Damn it! You might as well take him to the back alley and fuck him then and there you fucker!" Ikkaku barked with a hint of jealousy behind it. Seiko started to seriously become uncomfortable with the quarreling men until he heard a loud roar come from behind them.
"What the fuck are you two doing!" the voiced roared through the strip. Seiko had a feeling the voice was familiar. Out of the blue a flash of red came to Seiko's sight and socked the feminine man dead in the face.
"Renji?" Seiko questioned. Turning his view to Renji, he was wearing a white button down slightly revealing his chest and tattoos with grey pants along with a white headband.
"Sup runt" Renji remarked. "You okay? He didn't try anything did he" Renji questioned Seiko has he approached him.
"I'm fine, he was just admiring my… looks" he said trying to find the right words.
"He was just a little too close for comfort" Renji stated. Leaving Seiko to ponder where this sudden possessiveness came from.
"The fuck Renji!" Yumichika yelled.
"Shut up" Renji shot back.
"You tryna fight!" both of the men exclaimed.
"We can fight later" Renji replied while jerking Seiko by the arm and leading him away from the crowd.
"The hell are we going?" Seiko questioned.
"Away from these assholes" he said, ignoring further more questions.
"Uh if you say so Renji but what you're not going to do is drag me by the arm like I'm your little bitch" Seiko interjected "Just relax what's the rush anyways?" Renji eased his grip on Seiko's arm and eventually letting it go.
"Just .. I just don't won't you absorbed into all this crazy stuff .You have no idea."
"What do you mean? They were just talking me" Seiko replied.
"Just know Ichigo and our group of friends.." Renji paused trying to gather his thoughts "Just know we are different than most people." Seiko's only reply was a chuckle.
"You're concerned about me meeting all your friends because you guys are 'different'? Seriously Renji look at me" Seiko said gesturing to himself "I can't get anymore more different than this". Renji released a deep sigh and could only laugh at the thought of Seiko trying to keep up with gang.
"Come here punk" Renji reached out for Seiko pulling him under his arm and continued walking through the strip. he wondered what the hell that was about, Renji was definitely a hands on kind of guy Seiko said to himself. As they walked one would think at first glance they were a couple with Renji being so big and Seiko so tiny, surely the towns people mistaken Seiko as a petite woman
"Ok enough of this cheesy bullshit, I came here to actually get some shopping done" he said looking up at Renji.
"So I guess I'll see your around then" Renji said in a low voice while about to turn around.
"Who said you had to leave" Seiko asked "I could use some help I guess"
Renji replied with a slight shoulder shrug.
As they walked into a basic clothing store Renji watched the honey beige kid fling through racks of clothing one after another. He found himself yet again admiring Seiko's appearance. The way his petite body could fit into anything, the way his long curly locks bounce, flow and swing as he maneuvers his way through the store, the way his golden complexion glows in the fluorescent lights. He was truly a sight to see, an exotic male beauty that would make other men jealous such as Yumichika ,even Captain Kuchiki himself and the fact Seiko was so humble with his appearance was the cherry on top. He was respective, strong willed, feisty, witty and still managed to be a people person, people flocked to him like white on rice. Renji sighed looking for a chair to sit on as Seiko continued shopping and trying on clothes.
"If only he was female" Renji muttered under his breathe. "He would be a great catch". Sighing yet again Renji went into deep thought. Renji thought why he would pass up such a good thing just because they are of the same sex, it shouldn't stop him. He was enticed by Seiko but he just can't bring himself to actually accept these foreign feelings to himself so suddenly, he didn't know what to think .He only knew they kid for 2 days but it felt like he had known him for years. Renji decided to push these confusing troublesome thoughts away and deal with them another time. He was with Seiko at the moment and he wanted to enjoy his company.
"Yo, Seiko where are you?" Renji called through the store.
"The dressing room. Third stall" Seiko called back.
Renji made his way to the dressing room and to third stall. He figured Seiko was just trying on a shirt on some jeans so he let himself in the stall only to see Seiko just in his form fitting black briefs. Renji's face started to heat up as he inspected Seiko's exposed golden flesh from head to toe, making his way down receiving a lengthy look at the young teen's rump, it looked so soft, plush and inviting, The form fitting underwear did him to much justice for his own good .Renji tried to calm himself down when he noticed blood rushing to a certain area. The attraction and the sex appeal of this kid is just highly abnormal
"Seriously though, you and Ichigo have a privacy problem" Seiko muttered as he turned around to face Renji. Nothing he could do about it now.
"Did you find anything" Seiko questioned
"uh No, nothing in my size" Renji stuttered
"Oh ,well I like these pants and this shirt so I guess I'll get it and call it a day" Seiko explained. Seiko bent over unintentionally giving Renji a view of his assets. Renji placed a hand over his growing groin thinking that it would help but only making it worst. Luckily Seiko quickly got dressed and accumulated the items he was going to pay for and made his way out the dressing room not noticing the flustered Renji.
"I'll just go pay for these, you can wait outside" Seiko said making his way to the register.
"OK cool" Renji muttered making his way out the store only to notice a sun glass stand outside a neighboring store. He made his way to the sunglass stand examining the pairs of sunglasses. There was only one pair that caught his attention; it seemed to be the same damn pair of black sunglasses he always manages to break but cheaper.
"Damn, I have no money. That money sucking bastard Urahara always demanding some shit" Renji murmured
"You like those?" Seiko asked, startling Renji as he came from behind him.
"Yea but I guess I'll get them next time" he said turning around to see Seiko with a smile on his face.
"Why not now?"
"I'm broke, didn't you hear –"
"I heard, just answer the question you want em or not?"
"Yea I do" Renji said hesitantly
"Excuse me sir, can I have those black ones on the center row?" Seiko asked the sales man
"What are you-"
"Just shut up Renji! Relax" Seiko exclaimed cutting Renji off
"yes sir, that will be 1561 ¥" the salesman announced.
"Here you go" Seiko willingly gave the money to clerk in return Seiko received the black Gin Tombo sunglasses in a black fancy case.
"Thank you come again" the clerk announced as Renji and Seiko started to walk home.
"Here." Seiko said shoving the fancy box containing the sun glasses into Renji's chest
"You didn't have to" Renji stated
"I wanted to, you looked like you really wanted them and besides just think of it as a thank you gift for spending the day with me. You probably had better things to do then spend the day with some kid" Seiko said in a low tone. Renji gently grabbed Seiko's head and brought him to his chest wrapping his around around his shoulder as they continued walking.
"Seriously -_- , this man cant keep his hands to his self can he not?" Seiko thought
"It wasn't so bad punk" he announced as he ruffled up Seiko's curly long locks. They abruptly stopped as Renji grabbed Seiko's shopping bag from his hands.
"Hey what are you-"
"Your turn to shut up" he stated cutting off Seiko while kneeling down in front him
"Get on" Renji harshly demanded making Seiko quickly mount the large man's back.
"A piggy back ride?" Seiko questioned with a chuckle. "You're so corny".
"Shut up" Renji replied with a smile "I just cant let you buy me something and not work for it ,plus this was worth missing my curfew." Renji muttered as they walked down the empty winding streets of Karakura. It was only right in Renji's mind to carry Seiko. He purchased something for him and Renji had done nothing to earn it, sure carrying another man on your back comes off a little suspect but he didn't seem to mind at at all, especially since Seiko was extremely light weight
"Curfew?" Seiko asked curiously.
"Yea my...uh... uncle owns a candy shop and that's also where we live so he gives me a curfew before they close shop" Renji said explaining his living conditions to Seiko.
"Well you can stay the night" Seiko willingly told Renji.
"I couldn't ask that, you already bought me sunglasses"
"Well you didn't ask, I offered and you will accept my offer" Seiko confidently stated leaving Renji caught off guard to the sudden hospitality.
"looks like I have no choice do I?" Renji questioned
"That or a half finished dog house in my yard" Seiko replied,
The two finally made their way to Seiko's home. Renji gently let Seiko off his back and followed him through the door.
"Looks like my grandmother isn't home, she must be sleeping over at her friends" Seiko stated
"It's just you two living here?" Renji asked with concern in his voice.
"Yea, it was just her a couple of days ago, but you know if your that worried about our well being you can always move in with us, since ya know things aren't really working out with your uncle" Seiko said trying to convince him.
"Seriously?" Renji exclaimed with excitement in his voice.
"Dead ass serious" Seiko explained while going up stairs "You can room with me until we clear the guest room out, it's just full of boxes"
" Yes yes yes!" Renji happily taking Seiko's offer. Renji was excited he didn't have live with Urahara anymore witch meant no more painful chores and no more annoying Jinta.
"Great" Seiko said with a smile " I'm glad you seemed relieved'' Seiko stated
"You have no idea" Renji whispered
Seiko opened his room door and instantly stripping of his clothes except for his form fitting briefs. Renji watched as the barley naked boy fixed his bed on the floor for him witch was all the more appealing.
"You can sleep there" Seiko announced while flopping onto his bead while tying his hair up to sleep
"Uh sure, thanks" Renji replied. Renji peeled his shirts and pants off revealing the glory of his tattoos. He neatly folded his clothes and put them aside to his made up bed on the floor
"uhhhh, do you know how to braid?" Renji curiously asked.
"Sure. You need me to braid yours then I can" the teen stated.
"Thanks, I usually find someone to do it but-"
"It's no problem, come here" Seiko motioned the man to sit on the side of the bed. Renji came and sat down where he was told and Seiko untied his hair letting his fiery locks cascade down his back. Seiko suddenly went work combing his hair; it felt comforting to know someone was handling your hair who also took good care of their hair. Renji released a slight moan as Seiko's fingers massaged his scalp making Seiko chuckle as he started braiding. In nearly 15 minutes Seiko finished braiding Renji's hair.
"I'm done" Seiko stated with a yawn. He heard snoring and turned Renji around to see he had fallen asleep. Seiko figured he must have been exhausted from today and didn't mind, he didn't want to just shove him on the floor so Seiko decided to allow him to sleep on the bed. Pulling Renji's body back fully on the bed and tucking him in. Seiko got up to turn off the lights and returned into bed watching the handsome man sleep and admiring his tattoos. Feeling his self drift to sleep Seiko turned his back against Renji and suddenly felt Renji's front pressed against his back while feeling a warm breath against his neck. He couldn't possibly think Renji was doing this consciously so Seiko let it go and drifted to sleep . Little did he know, the red head was awake watching Seiko's steady breathing as he continued questioning himself internally about his feelings towards the foreigner.
