Okay peoples, I know it's been a while. I wanted to type Chapter 4 up quicker, but with my grades slipping and finals comming up, I had to sacrifice valueable computer tme for crunch time... I want a Crunch candy bar now! I decided that later on, I'm going to make a more.. Mature version of this story... Maybe during the summer when I'm free to use the computer.
Warnings: Yaoi, language, suggestive actions, and a candy-deprived author.
Byakuya sat at the desk next to his bed. He had lit a cinnimon scented candle earlier, "Just to get the smell of Ichimaru out," is what he told Renji. He was busy working the Kenseiken out of his ling black hair when Renji walked in, carrying a bottle of unopened sake. Byakuya looked over at his tattoed guest, seeing what he was carrying, "I hope you have no intentions of drinking that in here," he said in his usual ice-cold voice, working out the last Kenseiken. Renji stared at Byakuya, this being the first time to see his Captain's hair down, besides when he saw him earlier after he got out of the shower.
"Really nice hair-I-I mean, 'Not at all, sir'!" Renji replied, turning red from embarassing himeslf. Byakuya grinned at Renji's unintentional compliment, then turned back to his desk. "So, you want to stay in my room instead of a guest room?" Byakuya asked, sounding slightly interested. "Only if you don't have a problem with that, sir..." Renji replied. Byakuya stored his Kenseiken for tomorrow, "I never said I did." Renji sat down on Byakuya's bed. He leaned over to see what his Captain was doing at his desk, "What'cha doin', sir?" "Taking care of a report," he replied, stacking a few papers that he realized Ichimaru messed up, "I need to take care of it and turn it in to General Captain Genryusai Yamamoto before we leave."
Renji lay back onto the bed, looking at Byakuya, then at the off-white cealing that was only lit by the candles. His nose itched from the cinnimon scent the candle gave, not exactly used to the artifical scents. Before he knew it, his front-row seat of watching the cealing was cut-off by Byakuya's face. "C-Captain Byakuya-" Renji started, but was interrupted when Byakuya placed a single finger on his lips, "Just call me Byakuya. There's nno need for formalities if we're all alone." What the hell? Earlier he was all over Captain Ichimaru about calling him Bya-bya-kun. And now he's teling me I don't have to be formal? I think those Kenseiken of his are too tight on his head, Renji thought, baffled by his Captain's actions. Byakuya moved his finger off of Renji's lips. "Umm.. B-Byakuya.. since we're here... Uhh... W-what were you trying to tell me earlier?" Renji asked, staring up into Byakuya's lonely eyes, Damnit! Stop giving me that look! You're either gonna make me sad, or so overwhelmed by cuteness I'll have no choice but to hug you and lock you in my closet! Byakuya grinned and leaned to Renji's ear, "I love you, Renji."
Renji's eyes widened, "B-Byakuya..." Am I drunk?... wait, I didn't drink the sake... What if I did and this is some sort of demented-drunk-ass-messing-with-my-god-damned-head sort of hallusination? He looked at his captain, "A-are y-y-you serious?" Renji asked, his throat choking, "Th-this isn't s-some s-s-sort of j-joke, like I-Ikakku p-played o-on C-captain Zaraki, i-is it?" Byakuya looked at Renji, "This isn't a joke." This is happening waaaaaaaaaay too fast! Renji thought as he closed his eyes. Byakuya put an arm around Renji, "Renji... Please stay here. I don't want you to leave." Renji opened his eyes and looked at Byakuya, "I don't see why I'd leave, other than the fact we're going to the human world." Byakuya chuckled slightly, "That isn't exactly what I meant." He climbed ontop of Renji, "I don't want you to leave me." Renji blinked and nodded his head, "I won't, Byakuya." Byakuya grinned, "Good." he leaned down and kissed Renji on the lips. I don't know if I should scream or crap my pants... Maybe I should do both! Renji thought, returning the kiss. Byakuya rolled off of Renji, "We should get some sleep so we can leave early tomorrow." "Damnit! No! Get back over here now! You are going to finish what you started, damnit!" is what Renji would have said, but instead he nodded and climbed next to Byakuya. He leaned over and blew out the candle, making the room go pitch black.
