--GOOM--
Three cars pulled up into Byakuya's driveway. Renji had been fidgeting the whole way. Everytime someone would try to strike up a conversation with him, he would either ignore them or find another way to shut them up. His heart sank when he looked up and the red Miata wasn't there. He wasn't home. Ayame rolled down her window and motioned for Azra to do the same.
"What're we gunna do?" Ayame asked.
"Well let's knock on the door before we jump to any conclusions," Azra said the last part mostly to Renji.
Ayame nodded and her and Azra got out of the cars. They motioned for everyone to stay in the car while they went to check. They walked up to the porch and knocked on the door. No answer.
Renji watched this from the car and his heart sank deeper as he noticed the door staying closed. He hadn't seen or heard from Byakuya in a little over a week and he was starting to get worried. The relationship that he and Byakuya shared was mostly physical. Renji feared that he may have found someone else. Of course, Renji would never admit this. He really did wish that this relationship would go to the next level.
Azra knocked on the door again, this time a bit harder. Renji was about to tell them to just leave when the front door opened. Byakuya stepped into the doorway and Renji's heartbeat sped up.
"Hello," Byakuya said formerly.
"Hey. We decided to pay a visit. We're not interrupting anything are we?" Azra smiled.
"Not at all. I've just arrived back home," Byakuya replied.
"Oh. So can we come in?" Azra asked.
"Yes, of course," Byakuya nodded as he stepped out of the doorway.
Ayame motioned for everyone to get out of the cars as they stepped inside. Renji jumped out of the car and was the first in the door.
"So where's the car?" Azra asked conversationally.
"It's getting work done on it. I needed new timmmphf," Byakuya was cut off by Renji's mouth.
Renji had the dark haired man in a death grip via lips. Byakuya had a very confused and embarrassed look on his face as he was being pushed out of the living room and into the bedroom. The door was closed and locked behind them before Byakuya was able to pry himself away from the anxious redhead.
"It's rude to leave company alone Renji," Byakuya sighed half heartedly.
"They'll live," Renji growled.
Byakuya couldn't help but smirk at Renji's childish behaviour.
"I've missed you," Byakuya whispered as he wrapped his arms around Renji's waist.
Renji blushed deeply, "I've missed you too."
Byakuya pulled the younger boy into a hug. Renji hesitated before hugging back. This did not go unnoticed by Byakuya.
"Doushitan?" Byakuya asked in a concerned voice.
Renji looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong?" Byakuya asked again.
Renji shook his head, "Nothing. I'm just still a bit tired."
Byakuya stared down at the boy for a couple seconds before sighing and pulling him into another hug.
"Don't take me for a simpleton Renji," Byakuya ordered, "What is on your mind?"
Renji winced at Byakuya's forceful tone, "It's just...I'm afraid to lose you. I'm scared you're going to find something better."
Byakuya pushed Renji away and looked into his eyes, "You...really think that?"
"Well...yea. I mean, I've never been in a relationship with a dude. And I just thought you'd want someone more better than me," Renji sighed.
Byakuya shook his head and smiled a bit at Renji's horrible grammar. He then forced Renji to look into his eyes.
"Renji," Byakuya started, "I didn't decide to date you because of your sexual experience. I was drawn to you since the day I laid eyes on you, and that's not going to change."
Renji blushed deeply, "Thank you Byakuya."
Byakuya pulled the boy into another hug, "I must say though. I rather enjoyed your show of dominance earlier."
Renji smiled, "Really?"
"Yes. It was quite different. I think I like that side of you," Byakuya replied.
Renji grinned evilly before slamming his mate against a nearby wall and pressing their lips together. Byakuya's eyes widened at the unexpected forcefulness. As they stood there, lip locked, Byakuya decided that he'd let Renji take over this time.
--GOOM--
"You know," Azra started, "I was afraid that nothing was going to happen until I heard that slam. Now I'm not worried about it."
"Agreed," Ayame nodded, "They do get rough though don't they?"
"That's the best way to fuck," Grimmjow smiled.
"That's gross Grimmjow..." Izuru half whispered.
"Shut up you fag. Nobody asked you," Grimmjow growled.
SMACK! Ayame slapped Grimmjow so hard that he lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"Dont you EVER talk to Kira like that again," Ayame whispered menacingly.
Grimmjow looked to Azra for help, but she had the same angry look in her eyes. He turned to the red eyed Ayame and quickly apologized.
"Okay I'm sorry. I was just kiddin," Grimmjow sighed.
"Say it again and you'll lose your nuts," Ayame growled.
"You're gunna have to talk to Azra bout that one," Grimmjow smiled.
"Actually I find testicles to be very unattractive," Azra butted in, "As long as she leaves the penis in tact."
"That's harsh," Ikkaku giggled.
"It's true though," Azra shrugged.
"So is it just you or do all chicks hate guys nuts?" Gin asked.
"No...I don't think many women enjoy staring at mens hairy, saggy, goofy shaped ballsack," Azra smiled.
"I don't think mine look goofy," Yumichika frowned.
"Are you saying you don't like my nuts?" Grimmjow asked.
"Yes," Azra replied simply.
"I shave mine so they're not hairy," Ikkaku added.
"Kinda like you shave your head?" Ichigo asked.
"I don't shave my head," Ikkaku growled.
"So you're just naturally bald?" Ichigo giggled.
"I'M NOT BALD!!" Ikkaku screamed.
"Alright boys!" Azra stood up, "If you're gunna fight, do it outside."
Ichigo and Ikkaku stared at eachother evilly before getting up and running to the back door. Azra sighed and shook her head.
"You're not gunna stop them?" Ayame asked.
"Nah. Let em have their fun," Azra shook her head again.
Ayame shrugged, then she heard faint yelling. She turned her head to listen and that only confirmed that the noises were coming from the back porch. It was Ikkaku and Ichigo. She couldn't make out the words but she head a distinct splashing sound and more yelling. She was about to get up when she head the bedroom door open. Byakuya walked out and looked at the crowd.
"What's that sound?" He asked, rather annoyed.
"Madarame and Kurosaki are fighting. Nothing to worry about," Azra explained.
Byakuya was about to reply when a mostly naked Renji walked out behind him. He grabbed the older man around the waist and proceeded to pull him in the bedroom.
"What ever the fuck you said the first time we had sex," Renji half giggled before closing the door and locking it.
The crowd looking at the closed door, even more baffled than the first time.
"Did...Abarai...just say...what I think he said?" Ayame asked.
"I...think so..." Azra replied.
"That...was rad," Gin half whispered.
"...Rad?" Izuru asked.
"Yea...rad. Like cool, awesome, narly," Gin explained.
"Oh..."Izuru nodded.
"THAT WAS MY LIVER YOU ASSHOLE!" Ikkaku screamed from the pool.
"IT WAS NOT! QUIT BEING SUCH A PUSSY!" Ichigo screamed back.
"I think it's about time someone jumped in and broke those two up," Uryu commented.
Ayame nodded in agreement before standing up. She walked out onto the porch and whistled to try to get the boys attention. When that didn't work, she took another approach.
"HEY! CALM THE FUCK DOWN NOW!" Ayame screamed at the top of her lungs.
Both men stopped in mid punch and looked up at her.
"We were just messin," Ikkaku protested.
"Yea well you're starting to get annoying," Ayame spat.
Both boys slouched as they got out of the pool and sat in the lawn chairs.
"You're gunna end up pissin off Kuchiki," Ayame commented.
Ichigo looked up at Ayame in confusion, "Kuchiki? Does that mean he's one of the guys?"
"I don't remember any initiation," Ikkaku commented.
"He snuck in," Azra smiled as she walked onto the porch.
"Isn't he older than all of us?" Ichigo asked.
"Yea...but we still accept him either way," Azra shrugged.
"Where's Jeagerjaques?" Ayame asked.
"Ooops..." Azra half giggled.
"You left him alone?" Ayame asked.
"Heh...yea maybe," Azra giggled again.
"BOYS!" Ayame screamed inside, "COME ON OUT! WE'RE GUNNA CHILL OUT HERE!"
The boys all walked out on the back porch and took random seats in the lawn chairs. Azra walked over to the wet bar and searched the cabinets.
"Wine, whiskey, vodka, run, gin...no not you Ichimaru, beer, liquor...heh...jackpot," Azra smiled to herself.
She pulled out two bottles of Watermelon Sake. The whole crowd looked at her. Some in happiness, some in fear. Mostly happiness though.
"He's got shotglasses too," Azra announced, "And playing cards."
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ayame smiled.
"Ring of Fire," Azra smiled back.
"Fuck yes!" Both girls said in unison.
"I can't drink," Izuru pointed out.
"And I'm not gunna," Gin shook his head, "I don't want everyone ta be fucked up if Izuru needs help. Imma stay sober for this one."
"I wouldn't let you drink anyways Kira," Ayame pointed to Izuru.
"And that's a good idea Ichimaru. I'm grateful that you are being so selfless for Kira's sake," Azra smiled.
"So that leaves how many?" Ikkaku asked.
"Eight," Azra replied quickly.
"Ten if Kuchiki and Abarai join us," Ayame pointed out.
"Without any further ado...let's start," Azra announced.
"Wait," Toshiro blurted, "How do you play Ring of Fire?"
"You wanna explain Azra?" Ayame asked.
Azra nodded and spread the deck of cards in a circle face down. She then grabbed a receipt and a pen and wrote some things down on it. She sat next next to Toshiro and showed him the paper before speaking.
"Okay, this paper is the 'rules'. A stands for ace, then there's 2-10, then J for jack, Q for queen, and K for king. The thing next to it is what you have to do if you draw that card. Ace is Rule. That means if you draw an ace, you get to make any rule in the game. Two is you. That means that you get to choose two people to take a shot. Three is me. That means you have to take a shot. Four is whores. All girls have to drink. Five is alive. The last person to raise their hand has to take a drink. Six is dicks. All guys have to drink. Seven is song. You start singing a song and the last person to start singing with you has to drink. Eight is mate. That means you choose someone that has to drink whenever you do and vice versa. Nine is rhyme. Means that you say a word and the person next to you has to say a word that rhymes and so on and so forth until someone either repeats a word or can't find a word to rhyme it. Ten is I never. You say something you've never done before and everyone that has, has to drink. Jack is waterfall. You start drinking and everyone follows in order if the circle. You can't stop drinking until everyone is drinking, then when you stop drinking the person next to you stops and so on and so forth until everyone stops. Queen is question. You ask somebody a question and they have to ask someone else a question. This goes on until someone accidentally answers the question. King is kategory. Yes kategory with a 'K'. You pick a kategory like...colors for example. Everyone in order has to say a color until someone either repeats a color or can't think of one. And last but not least, if you break the circle of cards you have to drink. Any questions?" Azra finished five minutes later.
"Yea...what?" Toshiro looked like a five year old trying to learn calculus.
"You'll understand more when you start playing," Ayame giggled.
"Hope so," Toshiro mumbled.
"Alright, whoever's drinking, take a seat around the cards," Azra announced.
The crowd gathered around as Azra passed out the shot glasses. She set the bottles of sake in the middle of the cards and opened one.
"Okay, me first," Azra reached down and grabbed a card, "Four...whores. Cheers Ayame."
Azra poured sake into her and Ayame's glasses and downed the shot.
It was Grimmjow's turn next. He grabbed a card and dropped it face side up.
"Eight...mate. Az, be my mate," Grimmjow said in an uncharacteristically sweet voice.
"Ass," Azra giggled.
Next in line was Toshiro. He grabbed a nine.
"Rhyme," Toshiro mumbled to himself before saying, "Port."
"Court," Ayame smiled.
"Sport," Ikkaku nodded.
"Skort," Yumichika giggled.
"Sort," Uryu said thoughtfully.
"Snort," Ichigo snorted.
"Wart," Azra cringed.
"SHORT!!" Grimmjow practically yelled in Toshiro's ear.
"I am not!" Toshiro yelled back.
"Ya gotta drink!" Grimmjow cheered triumphantly.
"Dammit!" Toshiro growled.
Azra poured Toshiro a shot and he downed it with a disgusted look on his face.
"It's not that bad," Ikkaku sighed to Toshiro.
When he didn't reply, Ayame reached down and grabbed a card.
"Two, you," Ayame announced, "Azra and Uryu. Bottoms up."
Azra poured her, Grimmjow and Uryu each a short and they all downed them in unison. Izuru raised his hand in question shortly after.
"What is it Kira?" Ayame asked.
"Ummm...why did Grimmjow drink?" Izuru asked.
"When Grimm pulled the eight, he chose me as his mate. That means that when he has to drink, so do I. And vice versa," Azra explained.
"Oh...okay," Izuru nodded.
After that was settled, Ikkaku grabbed a card. He threw the card face up on the ground and quickly raised his hand. The group looked down at the upturned give and quickly followed suit. Yumichika was the last to react and Azra poured his shot. He downed it as girly as manly possible, pinkie out and all. Grimmjow tried to stifle a laugh, failing horribly.
"You're just mad because you're not as proper as me," Yumichika huffed.
"No, I'm just glad I'm not you in general," Grimmjow laughed.
Yumichika 'hmphed' and ignored Grimmjow's comment. He then reached down and grabbed a card. He layed it face down on the ground and looked at Grimmjow.
"Why are you so ugly?" He asked casually.
Grimmjow looked down at the upturned queen and smiled.
"Ikkaku...why are you dating this trashy fag?" Grimmjow asked.
"Why do you have to be such a dick?" Ikkaku spat back.
"Can I kick his ass?" Grimmjow asked Azra.
"Who's ass is he talking about?" Azra asked Uryu.
"Ikkaku's...FUCK!" Uryu answered.
"Woot!" Azra raised her hands in the air before pouring Uryu's shot.
Uryu downed the shot quickly as to try and stop people from staring at him. Ichigo then reached down and grabbed a card, almost breaking the circle in the process. He set down a ten.
"I have never dyed my hair," Ichigo nodded.
Azra, Grimmjow, and Ayame all drank. Ichigo looked at Uryu expectantly. Uryu then sighed and poured himself a shot.
"When?" Azra asked Uryu.
"A couple years before I met you guys," Uryu mumbled.
Azra shrugged before reaching for a card. She stopped when she heard someone behind her clear their throat. She slowly turned her head to see none other than Byakuya Kuchiki standing behind her.
"Hey there," Azra smiled.
"What...do you think you are doing with my sake?" Byakuya asked.
"Ummm...drinking it?" Azra smiled wider.
"Why?" He asked.
"Cause it's sake...and it's good," Azra shrugged.
Byakuya opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by Renji.
"Sake!?" Renji asked all too happily as he poked his head around Byakuya, "Fuck yes!"
He quickly squeezed himself in between Uryu and Azra.
"Me next!" Renji announced, ignoring Byakuya's annoyed look.
He reached down and grabbed a card. He pulled a three and happily poured himself a shot.
"Renji!" Byakuya barked, almost making him spill his shot.
"What?" Renji asked after swallowing the sake.
"That is my sake store! None of you have any right to drink it!" Byakuya started to lose his composure.
"Come on...it's freakin sake!" Renji whined.
"It's MY sake!" Byakuya shrieked.
"Then drink it!" Renji shrugged.
"FINE!" Byakuya screamed before plopping down between Renji and Azra and pouring himself a shot.
He downed it before anyone could protest. Azra shrugged and grabbed a card. She pulled a king.
"Category is rock bands," Azra smiled, "Angelspit."
"Cradle of Filth," Grimmjow grinned.
"Ummm...Three Days Grace," Toshiro shrugged.
"Nightwish," Ayame nodded.
"Slipknot," Ikkaku headbanged.
"AFI," Yumichika sighed.
"Korn," Ichigo nodded.
"Puddle of Mudd," Uryu smiled.
"Rob Zombie," Renji sang.
"UVERworld," Byakuya said after a moments thought.
"Isn't that the band with the hot Jap singer? Psychostick," Azra asked.
"Yes it is," Byakuya nodded before kissing Renji.
"Avenged Sevenfold," Grimmjow nodded.
"Ummmmmm...uhhhhhh...Toshiro though long and hard.
Drink you unrocker," Azra giggled as she poured a shot.
Toshiro sighed and reluctantly downed the shot. Grimmjow reached down and grabbed a card. He layed a seven down and started singing.
"Your tounge bores me numb," Grimmjow started.
"Terror toma carcinoma speaking for you," Azra joined in.
"Shallow opinion," Ichigo joined.
"Acid fetish toy in the shape of you," Ayame sang.
"Look very beautiful," Yumichika smiled.
"Deranged, debauched, denued on that stainless steel cot," Uryu joined.
"Enter herr surgeon," Ikkaku danced.
"Take up the bowie knife and play join the dots," Renji and Izuru sang in unison.
"Vena cava, heart starter, the doctor is...in," Everyone except Toshiro and Byakuya sang.
"Vena cava, heart starter, the doctor is...in," Toshiro joined in.
"Your fist, Judas kiss, writhing carcass," The group sang until they were cut off.
"Okay I lose! Just stop already, that song is giving me the creeps," Byakuya announced.
Azra let out a giggle before pouring Byakuya a shot. He eyed her before downing the shot. After the shot was taken, Toshiro pulled a card. He set a six down on the ground.
"Dicks," Toshiro mumbled to himself.
Azra poured all the men a shot. She then poured herself a shot and toasted Grimmjow before downing it with the rest of the men.
Ayame pulled the next card. She set down an eight and smiled at Toshiro.
"Toshiiiiiii...be my mate," Ayame sang.
Toshiro sighed, "Whatever."
Ikkaku reached down and grabbed the next card, breaking the circle in the process. He took a drink and set down a jack. Azra instantly got up and grabbed ten plastic cups from the bar. She passed them all out and filled them to the top with sake.
"Everyone know how to play waterfall?" Azra asked.
When everyone nodded, she nodded to Ikkaku and he started drinking. Yumichika started next, then Ichigo, Uryu, Renji, Byakuya, Azra, Grimmjow, Toshiro, and Ayame. As soon as Ayame's cup touched her lips, Ikkaku stopped drinking. Then it started all over again, Yumichika stopped, then Ichigo, Uryu, and so on until everyone had stopped drinking. Everyone took a breather before a quite tipsy Yumichika pulled a card. He pulled an ace and an evil smile crept across his face.
"My rule...is that Ikkaku has to take a shot anytime someone else takes a shot," Yumchika giggled.
Ikkaku shook his head silently before Ichigo reached down and grabbed a card. He pulled a queen and looked at Uryu.
"Do you love me?" Ichigo asked.
"What kind of question is that?" Uryu asked back.
"Do you think he loves me?" Ichigo asked Ayame.
"Why is he asking me this?" Ayame asked Azra.
"Why do I always get pulled into this shit?" Azra asked Ichigo.
"Because...ahhhh fuck me..." Ichigo watched as Azra poured him and Ikkaku both shots.
They downed the shots as Uryu picked up a card.
"I do love you by the way," Uryu smiled before setting down a five and raising his hand.
Byakuya was the last to react this time and Azra poured him and Ikkaku shots. They drank as Renji pulled a card. He sat down a ten and thought to himself for a minute.
"I've never had sex with a girl," Renji nodded.
Grimmjow, Toshiro and Byakuya all drank.
"What?" Renji looked at Byakuya.
"It is in the past. Ikkaku has to drink as well," Byakuya pointed out.
Ikkaku flicked Byakuya off as Azra poured him a shot. Byakuya ignored Renji and pulled a card. He pulled a two and pointed to Renji and Yumichika. Azra poured Renji, Yumichika, and Ikkaku's shots before reaching in the middle of the cards and opening the second bottle of sake. She heard a dull thud and looked over to see Yumichika passed out on the the ground.
"Lightwieght," She mumbled before pulling a card.
She pulled a three and poured herself and Ikkaku's shots. As they drank, Grimmjow pulled a card. He set down a jack and Azra filled the plastic cups. After the waterfall was done, Uryu let out a loud belch and passed out. Toshiro laughed insanely before following suit. Toshiro passed out so close to the pool that Ayame just couldn't help herself. She pushed him to the edge of the pool and rolled him onto the floating chair. He floated to the middle of the pool and the drinking continued.
Ayame pulled a six. She poured all the men shots, making sure not to leave out Azra. As the shots were downed, Renji and Byakuya collapsed backwards, one right after the other. Azra shook her head and smiled at the quickly diminishing crowd.
Ikkaku reached in and grabbed a king.
"Uhhhh...chick...actors," Ikkaku slurred, "Jodie...Foster."
"Uhhh...Angelina Jolie," Ichigo swayed.
"Nicole Kidman," Azra smiled.
"Julia Roberts," Grimmjow blurted waaaay too loudly.
"Cameron Diaz," Ayame nodded.
"Drew Barrymore," Ikkaku smiled.
"Who names there fucking kid Drew anyways?" Ichigo asked before falling ontop of Uryu.
The few left stared at him for a couple seconds before Azra drew a card. She set down a nine.
"Dime," She nodded.
"Time," Grimmjow smiled.
"Climb," Ayame giggled.
"Fuck..." Ikkaku mumbled before passing out.
"Fuck doesn't fucking rhyme with dime you dumbass," Grimmjow slurred before falling backwards.
Azra sighed and layed her head on Grimmjow's chest and passing out. Ayame quickly followed suit.
