Hiding Presents (– Byakuya/Renji)
"What are you doing Renji?"
Renji started at the feel of Byakuya's reiatsu swelling behind him, curious tendril's stroking his skin and he spun, hands shifting to hide what he held behind his back. He fumbled for a moment, eyes a little wider than normal, mouth parted as he thought before denying everything, "Nothing Taicho."
"Why is it that I do not believe you?"
Renji frowned at Byakuya's unchanging visage; he could feel the slight disapproval edging his normally calm reiatsu. He sighed reluctantly, hands coming around the front of his body, a small box cradled in one big palm. The tiny parcel was carefully wrapped in bright red paper, the bow tied tightly around it a rich mossy green.
"I was trying to find somewhere to put this, Taicho."
Renji's gaze lifted to his Captain's steely grey, seeing the slight crinkle at the edges of those piercing eyes.
"Explain."
