Chapter 7

It had been a little over week since Ichigo had asked Renji to move in with him in "their" new apartment. Ichigo's dad had been stopping by with all kind of stuff for the new home, like a whole box with sex toys, which Ichigo had attacked his father with while he walked down the stairs.

Almost all furniture was in place, most of them were newly bought by Ichigo, which Renji thought was a waist of money. He didn't see what was wrong with the teens old things. Well the bed had been a bit small for 2 persons but other then that it was fine. This was an ode feeling for the redhead. In over a week he hadn't been yelled at, beaten or raped, for the first time in a very log while he felt like he was safe and that he could be happy.

Still, he was worried that his "husband" would come and hurt all the people that had helped them, and he didn't know what the noble would do to Ichigo.

Renji was currently packing up some boxes in the kitchen. Ichigo had practically moved out when he had taken Renji from Byakuya. The redhead had a feeling that the teen knew that he would say yes. He chuckled a little at the thought. Just as he put the last plate in the cabin, Ichigo came running into the kitchen and scooped up the other man in his arms.

"Hello there, love. We have now finally and completely moved in" Renji smiled and kissed Ichigo on the cheek, making him blush.

"Well then, shouldn't we break in the new bed?" he whispered in the orange hair's ear. Without warning crashed Ichigo his lips on Renji's, setting him down on the counter and starting to trail his tongue down the tattooed neck. The redhead couldn't help but moan. But just as Ichigo pushed Renji's shirt off, he stopped. "Man Renji. Just how thin have you become?" he was right of course. When he was a lieutenant, he was always fit and well trained, but when Byakuya had forbidden him from working, and refused him food as punishments, he lost almost half his previous weight.

"Well we'll have to fix that later. But now" he said and lifted the other so that Renji's legs were wrapped around him; "I have another problem that needs to be taking care of" and so they entered their new bedroom. Renji was gently placed on the king sized bed. This was quite new to the redhead. All his sexual experiences were those of his time with Byakuya.

And it always ended up with him being raped and beaten. So naturally, his body tensed up.

Ichigo gasped as he removed all of their clothes, now he saw the full extent to Byakuya's abuse of the redhead. Renji's entire body was covered with marks, scars and bruises. Ichigo's eyes was now filled with sorrow as he placed his head on the redhead's shoulder and whispered; "I'm sorry my love" Renji's eyes widened. Why did he say he was sorry? He didn't have anything to do with this.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from him" Renji's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't believe what Ichigo was saying. He slowly lifted his hands so that they rested on the other's shoulders, pushing him up to face him and then pulling him closer and gave him a passionate kiss. The other's hand continued to rave the tattooed body but he hesitated when he reached his underwear. "It's okay as long as it you" the redhead panted out between the kisses. Ichigo trailed his fingers down Renji's thigh and down to his ass.

Renji yelped as Ichigo slipped in a finger to prepare his lover. He soon pulled out his fingers and positioned himself as Renji's entries. "You're sure it'll be okay? I won't hurt you?"

"I told you it's okay as long as it is you" the redhead said and looked up at the other's face with blushed cheeks and lustful eyes. This almost made Ichigo lose it. He pushed in, carefully not to hurt the tattooed man. "M-move" Renji moaned and Ichigo happily did.

Ichigo gently lifted the redhead's leg and draped them over his shoulder, making it possible for him to thrust deeper into the other. He wrapped his slender fingers around the redhead's hard member and began to pump it as his thrusts became faster. With ever thrust, Renji moaned his name. "This is even more amazing then I'd imagined. He is so beautiful" Ichigo though as he felt his climax drawing close.

"I-ichigo, I'm g-gonna come" the redhead moaned underneath him. "Together now Renji" Ichigo breathed out. With just a few more thrusts both men came while screaming out each other's names. Ichigo collapsed on top of Renji, earning a pained moan. He quickly rolled of him and pulled the other close to his chest while breathing out a small "sorry". The redhead just shook his head and snuggled closer to the warm chest of his lover. It still felt a little ode for Renji saying it, yet he didn't mind it.

"Isn't this nice" the orange haired said as he ran his fingers through the red lock of the sleepy man next to him. "Mmm" was the only response he got before Renji had fallen asleep. The teen, well he was actually in his last semester of collage now and had a job set up for him when he graduated, couldn't believe how beautiful the redhead really was, he looked so peaceful and calm in his sleep. He couldn't believe how much pain this man had to go through at the hands of that stick up noble. How he hated that man for what he had done. He continued to cuddle with the sleeping man but he soon fell into sleep with the redhead in his arms.

Morning

When Renji woke up, he was quite confused. At first he didn't know where he was. He heard a sound from the hallway. Had Byakuya found him? He was just about to panic when Ichigo came running in, quickly wrapping his arms around the redhead, mumbling into his ear; "It's alright. It's just me. Still having nightmares?" the other man nodded and buried his face in the orange haired man's chest. Almost every night since Ichigo had saved him had Renji had terrible nightmares about his time with Byakuya, but luckily for him had he Ichigo there to help him through it all.

"Want some breakfast?" the redhead nodded. "Can we have it in bed please?" he asked with a sleepy voice. The young man smile and nodded as he walked out of the room, returning a few minutes later with a big tray in his hands. They sat there for about an hour before Renji asked of Ichigo didn't need to go to school but he said that he was free today. Soon he had his final exams so; soon could they have a lot more time together.

They spent the rest of the day, settling in and putting the final touches to their new home. But most of the time did Ichigo end up starring at the redhead instead of helping out or studying. Renji wanted Ichigo to graduate from collage with good grades and he didn't want to be in his way or keep him from studying, so he tried to keep himself busy with other thing.

Now that he had some actual spare time had he discovered that he was quite good at playing the guitar. Much of his time was now spent sitting in the living room and playing. According to Ichigo did he have a talent. He also picked up painting. It had been one of his biggest interests, before he married Byakuya. He had to stop then because the noble said that it was a waist of time and money. But Ichigo didn't mind buying the materials he needed. "I'm really glad that Ichigo came and saved me. I didn't expect to feel so strongly about him, but I really do love him" the redhead thought as he cooked dinner for the two. Life was good and he hoped that it could stay that way.

He placed the plates on the dining table and the two lovers began to eat. Little did they know that some one was watching them, with cold, angry, evil eyes.
