Hey guys sorry I was kinda late had stuff to do but I'm back. I'm happy for the reviews I got even thought their very little but its ok I'm happy to know the story is ok for a first timer who has no experience in this, And I thank you all for it. Enjoy the story!

Disclaimer! I don't own bleach but I don't own my character Midori. She nice isn't she. J

It's had been an hour since Midori and Toshiro have been sitting down eating their lunch and talking about whatever that came to mind. Somewhere along their conversation he threw in about how he had feeling for someone but didn't know what to do about, and if it was ok to do so. "Well it depends on who it is. I mean I guess some lieutenants here have dated each other but that's all I know. Now I never really heard of a captain getting involve in those sort of stuff, since I imagine their suppose to be a roll model of some sort." Midori spoke only of what she knew.

"Ok, you have a point their so i guess your right" the young boy said with a sigh, not to happy with the answer, afraid of not being able to express himself to his captain.

"Something tells me you have feelings for a captain, and not just any, that certain person happens to be your captain, Kuchiki Byakuya." She said with a smile. Midori was never someone to judge by their sexuality or race of any kind. She treated everyone with respect and kindness, so she would help Toshiro because he needed her advice and she was not going to deny that, she would help in anyway she can.

"I'm going to tell you something I never told anyone, but I to have feelings for someone, and just like you said it's my captain as well, captain Schiffer Ulquiorra." She finished. Toshiro was a bit shocked, he thought he would be the only one with feelings for his captain, and if he told anyone they would just look at him with disgust. He was glad that he met Midori and had her as a friend, she was so understanding, and the fact that she accepted him as gay eased his fear of being rejected.

"So now that i told you that I would hope that loosens you up to talk to me more about your feelings for him and how did you get them, because I know it should be more then just he's a good looking guy." She said with a reassuring smile, giving the impression that he could trust her.

"We'll it all started..." He spoke for about another half an hour explaining every from the first time he laid eyes on his captain to him saving his life the night he was attacked. Midori was so shocked that that happened, and kept asking if he was ok. She then told him to describe the men that attacked him,but he couldn't describe them well since it was indeed dark out at the time, he then remembered that his captain probably saw who they were and was going to ask him when he got the chance.

"We'll I guess it's getting late so we better get back and finish what little papers we have left. I'll walk you back to your division since mines is in that direction" she said as she got up and pushed her chair in, and this that they both walked off not noticing the two men that were sitting on the other side of the place.

"He moving out, but he's not alone. We should wait until later tonight where he should be alone. Then that's when we'll strike." One of the men said in a phone the other on the other side.

"Alright I trust you won't fail me this time" the man on the other line said with a serious tone that scared the other two men.

"No sir" was all they said before the line went dead.

"Huh, I already have a distraction for that stick-up captain of the six division, so my plan will definitely work" the dark gray eyed man said to himself after hanging up. "Soon you will be mines my little Toshiro rest assure."

XxXxXxXxXx

Byakuya sat at his desk in silence doing his paper works, thinking when was a good time to speak to Toshiro about what he felt and if he felt the same way, but kept debating if he should or not. There was a light tap at the door , but since the captain was in deep though being distracted by lieutenant, he did not hear it. The door slowly open, and a short and petite girl stepped into the room. She resembled the captain a lot, except for the eyes which were a violet color.

"Nii-sama," she said quietly, not wanting to anger him with the loud noise, but he still didn't acknowledge her and that when she knew something was wrong with her brother. He was never once off guard so something important must be occupying his mind.

"Nii-sama" she repeated only in a regular tone voice which now caught his attention. he looked up at his younger sibling and saw her shake her head. She then sat in a chair near by.

"Good evening, and what brings you here this late evening" he said while looking into her eyes.

"We'll I finished my work early and thought I'd stop by on my way home, but I see you occupying your mind." She stated not fooled by his attempt to hide it.

"I don't see how me being in thought is bothering you, not nothing of importance to you." He simply stated not wanting to to about the problem he's facing.

"Nii-sama, try as you might but we both know you can't hide anything from me, I read you easily, and what's occupying your mind is is not of work but of personal problems." Her tone getting softer and a small smile pulling on her lips. She was so glad that her brother was finally moving on and had found someone he was starting to care about other than his work and duties.

"So who is she, who has broken the walls around your heart and stole it." He only raised an eyebrow that said don't go there it's non if your business. " come on nii-sama, you can't fool me I know you very well enough to know that for once in your life your stuck in a problem and don't know what to do. I can help you and you know I won't tell a soul, please just open up" she sounded almost pleading, he couldn't just say no to that. If that one thing Byakuya knew it was that he had a soft spot for his younger sibling.

Sighing he began. "It's not a she... It's a he, it's my lieutenant." He simply said with a soft expression. Just thinking about him made him break down. He was wondering where he was and what he was doing. The other was surprised she wouldn't have guess it was with a man, but after seeing the look he displayed she immediately knew he was in love, she was pretty sure he acted the same way towards his sister every time he was near her.

"Nii-sama I'm very happy for you. Now you can finally move on and be happy again, even if its with the same sex. I Won't look at you any different. I also know that when you want something you have your eyes set on you go for it, now my question is why haven't you done it. Why are you over thinking it and stressing yourself out." Saying it in a assuring yet, confused way. She wanted to know first what was stopping him so she could help in any way.

"I'm not sure, I never felt so strongly for anyone that way. Let alone with someone you just meet, but i can't stop thinking about him or his safety, where he is, what's he doing and with who. Not after the incident that happen to his almost getting molested by three disgusting men." He said with as anger started to develop just by thinking of the event. Rukia looked at him for a while really surprised at his action, which he never shone.

"But behind all that the one thing I'm afraid of the most is the thought that I might lose him once he's in my reach. I just don't know what to do." Sighing he sat forward with both his elbows on the desk, supporting his chin in hand.

"When did this feeling kick in, I mean it has to come from-" she was cut off quickly with an answer.

"I kissed him, on the lips." Rukia choked on her saliva, coughing and shocked at the same time. Her brother, Byakuya Kuchiki, actually kissed someone.

"W-when, how. Wait did he pulled away or did he respond. I have to know!" Saying in a hyper way.

"It was the same day we met, Well after we met. it was already dark out and the moon was up high in the sky. After I saved him I- I just did. I don't know why but I did and it felt just right. From then on I had the urge to protect him from anything." Byakuya face softened after talking about his little snowflake. He wanted to always be there for him , even though he would not show it.

Speaking up again he began answering the question. "And to your other question no he didn't pull away, I did after realizing my mistake, but he stood there dozen like on the ground." He finished

Rukia smiled knowing very well that the other did indeed like him and with that she would have him talk to the other about it cause she was sure that he would want that to clear things up.

"Well that's, that. Go talk to him, I'm pretty sure he wants to talk to you about it but does have the courage to do so. Please do as I say for and take up that advice I'm sure you won't regret it." Byakuya just looked at her contemplating about it, but when was his sister wrong. He decided to go ahead with it and deal with what ever came his way.

"Alright I shall do so. Thank you for your encouragement, it's most appreciated"

Alright I'm glad, sorry to say I won't be sticking around to see what happens but it's getting late and I need to finely off a few things I have left at home. Good night, and best of luck." And with that she gave him a big reassuring smile and exited the room closing the door behind her. Byakuya just sat back in the chair and let out a sigh, knowing that his little lieutenant would show up any minute.

After a few minutes he could hear footsteps approaching and soon after a knock was heard. A "come in" was heard follow by the door opening slowly.

"Captain Kuchiki, sir you have some forms to read over and sign out." Byakuya just rises an eyebrow. "Sorry their from lieutenant Hisage, he asked me to deliver them cause he needs your approval on them as well."

The young subordinate came in the room handing over the papers and quickly leaving. Byakuya looked over them, and sighed once more. He knew he had a long night ahead of him, quickly getting started he read over the papers.

It's been ten minutes already and Byakuya was starting to get tired of all these papers, he notice foot steps approaching the door and a soft knock was heard.

"Come in"

Was all he said before the door opened, and the person he had been wanting to talk to entered. His lieutenant approached the desk standing in front of him. Looking at him with curious eyes he waited for him to talk.

"I wanted to speak to you about something. It has to do with the night that you saved me from those men:" Byakuya's expression changed getting serious. The other kept going trying to get to the point.

"We'll I wanted to know if you remember any of their face enough to know who they are and which division their from. My friend said she could help me find out who-"

"There is no need for that, I won't allow another to interfere with matters that I can clearly handle, and something that involve squad members." He said cutting him off angered by the fact that he went to seek help from another.

"I am clearly strong enough to protect you, I don't need anyone nor do I want anyone to help in protecting someone I care deeply about"

Toshiro's eyes widen. Did his captain just admit to caring about him, someone who is heartless showing affection to me, of all people he though his captain was taking this as a joke. Byakuya notice his shock, and was surprised cause it meant something. So he continued, not giving the other a chance to speak.

"What ever is running through your head about if its true that I care for you, its true, I do care for you and more."

"But I though you never showed any emotions to anyone" he said closing his eyes while looking down and blurting everything he had in his mind. "I know you don't care for me, you don't need to pretend like you want to protect me I can do that on my own , so I don't need your pity." He said in a hurt voice, tears coming down. "People have treated me that way to get what they want from me, and I don't need that from you especially you being my captain that I work under." He kept rambling on about that, but didn't noticed the said captain get up and walk over to him. Byakuya in a swift movement tilted Toshiros chin wrap an arm around his waist and leaned in for the sweetest kiss Toshiro had ever received. His eyes shot open shocked at the other before closing them again. His arms moved to grip his captains sleeves and he deepened the kiss. They stood like this for what seemed to be hours but only seconds and pulled away from each other.

"I care for you enough to say that I'm actually falling for you, you run through my mind constantly and I can't get any work done for that reason. I want to protect you because I know no one else will and can better than me. You are now my first priority besides my work I have to do, but still your safety will always come first to me. I don't want to loss anyone else that I care for so much and that includes you as well. I know this is sudden but with time I know it can and will grow into something beautiful. All I'm asking now is that you give it a try, I know its hard for you to trust anyone, it's been like that for me to, but I'm willing to try just for you."

Toshiro was speechless and couldn't say anything. He couldn't believe that the heartless captain, his captain, was falling for him and even wanted to be with him and not only that wanted to protect him and only him. He was so happy that someone finally noticed him for who he is and did t want to use him. He felt so safe with him. Even from the time before when his captain saved him for the first time. The other didn't know that he to liked him a lot and just didn't know how to approach him with the issue.

He already knew his answer and wasn't going to keep the other waiting. So he respond in his own way that he knew his captain and soon to be lover was going to like. Leaning forward to he pressed his lips sweety and softly to the taller man, he then parted his lips giving access for the other to enter. They both battled with their tongues but Byakuya won. Pulling back for air they looked at each other, they both were so happy now that they felt that nothing could ruin it. They cherished the moment they had together talking and getting to know more about each other as they can before they left, but not to their knowledge, after that night the nightmares were soon going to begin and the happiness Toshiro had just found would be utterly destroy, not comparing it what he had went through.
