Ichigo gazed as Renji knocked back another glass of sake. He himself would drink as well but he couldn't handle his alcohol that well and they had a mission to attend to right now: Getting to know if Rikichi had a love interest. And if yes: if it was Rukia.

Well if it were that way it would definitely make things way easier.

"So… Rikichi.. Welcome to ma division." He mumbled softly. Pretending like he was already slightly drunk. "I hope you don't mind that I had you transferred but Renji really recommended you to me. Says you're a real great person who I'll be able to trust quickly and stuff."

The youngest male blushed brightly and said his thanks, sipping from his own sake.

"so yo… Rikki… Can I call you Rikki? How's life with you? Got to get to know you a little y'know"

The new lieutenant looked up in surprise. "Uh… sure… you can call me Rikki I guess. And fine. I really never thought that I'd become a lieutenant this fast, I wasn't even a seated officer yet."

"yeah.. well.. I need a person who is trustworthy and has his heart in the right place, power doesn't really matter to me. But You'll be getting stronger soon enough…."

He leaned forwards, leaning his head on his palm. "Talking about heart. How's love going with you? Any interests?"

The kid blushed brightly, trying to hide himself. But that was of course impossible.

Renji chuckled. "So you've got an interest. Does she know… or is it a he?"

"a she." The kid's squeaked. "But she's way out of my league."

Ichigo piped in grinning widely. "now you've got me interested." He said happily. "who is she? Matsumoto?"

The kid shook his head with a bright blush before mumbling something amongst the lines of 'I don't like big breasts'

Oh yeah…. He had had about enough alcohol already if he could say something like that.

"so someone small breasted huh….Soi fong?" no response "Rukia?"

The fact that his face now turned bright red was enough of a clue for them, but Rikichi denied it anyway, squeaking that she was Ichigo's wife.

Ichigo laughed. "oi. Don't get so defensive little man. I don't mind as much as you'd think I would. She's my wife… yes…. But she feels more like my sister."

The kid blushed a little more now as Ichigo patted him on the back.

"Well…. I guess it's about time we head back to our beds. We need to get up early tomorrow…. Well… in a few hours actually and you still need to unpack your stuff.

Ichigo crawled into bed next to his wife with a giant smile on his lips. "I've got some good news, and some bad news." He said to her as she turned towards him and waited for him to go on.

"good news is. Rikichi has a crush… on you…. Bad news is... he thinks you're waaayy out of his league not only because you are a fukutaichou, because we solved that problem, but also because you're my wife."

She blushed softly. "and what now? He actually likes me but is too afraid to act on it?"

"yeah… so now operation: 'seduce him' starts. Make sure that Ukitake-taichou sends you over with the paperwork. That way he'll run into you more often. Then it's just a matter of you recognizing him and with time talking more to him and he'll end up wanting to be closer to you." He grinned in this enormously evil way that you normally only saw when you were an enemy ready to die and it made her shiver.

"I'll talk to taichou about it." She said before turning on her back and telling him goodnight.

XXXXX

Renji gazed at his lover as he locked the other's office door. "you sure it's safe?" he asked silently, barely above a whisper as he walked closer to the orange haired teen

"yeah. The only persons who would come inside are Rukia or Rikichi and right now they are in a bar, drinking something. The damn kid finally had the nerves to ask me if he could ask her." The teen chuckled.

By now 4 months had passed since operation 'seduce Rikichi' had started and they got to the point where the kid finally dared to befriend her. They decided to let the friendship grow for a bit first and then after their kid would be born they'd go and talk to him about his feelings and if he wanted to act on them.

Renji smiled and kissed the teen. "He's always been shy." He mumbled against the other's soft lips before kissing him once again. "Love you."

"Love you too. C'mon. Let's go to the back." Ichigo said with an enormous flirty, wide grin on his face, adding "Make me shy" with at teasing whisper.

"oh you bet I will!"

The redhead grabbed his lover and pulled him towards the back of the office where a white, dusty futon lay in case Ichigo had to work overtime. Or in case Renji decided to come by because going the baboon's apartment was no option. The chances of getting caught were too high.

Slowly the younger one pulled the sixt division lieutenant on top of him, kissing him tenderly while he slowly started undressing the man on top of him while said man did the same to him. Turning him into a whimpering mess with his soft, teasing touches in no time.

"c'mon Renji. Stop the teasing already" he mumbled after minutes and minutes of being teased into oblivion. Meanwhile Renji had already fully prepared him and kissed about every inch of his body.

"But I like teasing you. Look at that flushed face." The redhead mumbled while he softly bit into the younger one's right nipple.

The teen released a soft moan before he pulled the lieutenant up for another passionate kiss. "c'mon. Fuck me into this futon. Make it hard for me to walk normally to my house today."

"you asked for it."

In one quick move the baboon thrust inside the captain, capturing the younger's lips to conceal the silent moan coming from his lips, hushing that he had to keep it down.

After a few seconds to give the berry time to adjust he started his pace, rough right from the start. They didn't have that much time until Renji had to be back in the sixth division. Ten minutes top. So he smirked as he pounded the younger one's prostate without mercy, grabbing his cock to pump it with the same rhythm as his thrusts.

"R-Renji… God I'm close already." The teen whimpered. His lover made him look like the virgin he wasn't, making him so close so fast. And a few seconds later he exploded into the other's hand, coating his fingers with white liquid.

Renji brought his hand up to his mouth, licking his fingers clean without stopping his thrusts inside his lover who he soon followed after the edge, burying himself deep inside and coming into the man's core before collapsing on top of him.

They gazed at one another before quickly kissing each other and starting to get dressed. There was no time for after-sex-cuddles.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" Ichigo asked softly, knowing what the answer would be.

"Of course. Let's go to the training grounds tomorrow. You're getting rusted." Renji said with an enormous grin on his face before silently whisperen 'I love you' and 'we're not only going to train there'. And then he left, leaving a brightly blushing strawberry behind.
