Renji x Shuuhei

Rated: T

Title: Promised

"I'm sorry." Renji's voice sounded unsteady in the darkness of the room.

""Don't apologize…it's fine…" Shuuhei whispered , his lips brushing against Renji's cheek, throat, his shoulder. His eyes rubbed there and there was a tear on one of them. "I forgive you…" He whispered brokenly.

Renji felt like the tear had stabbed him in the heart and such a surge of tenderness welled up in him that it became almost terrifying.

The red haired man kissed Shuuhei gently with lips that cherished, possessed. It had been like dyeing when he had almost hurt Shuuhei. Pulling his head away from the kiss, Renj stared into the other's glazed eyes and touched Shuuhei's wet cheek.

"Do you really mean it? You really forgive me?"

Shuuhei smiled and returned Renji's loving kiss. "Yeah…baka."

Renji smiled and rested his forehead against Shuuhei's wrapping his arms around his waist.

He would never let Shuuhei go again.

And that, he promised to himself.
