Author's Note: I have decided! This is going to be a Shunsui/Starrk/Juushiro threesome. XD And there is going to be mpreg and it is going to MASSIVELY mess with Starrk. Also, this fic might not be as loving as some of the others because of the underlying problem at work… but don't judge Shunsui and Juushiro too harshly…

"You did what?" Juushiro looked at Shunsui in disbelief as he lowered his tea. His fellow taichou and lover just shrugged, smiling.

"I've always wondered what it would be like with a third. We discussed that." They had and they had concluded it would be worth doing, but too dangerous to risk approaching someone. "And I didn't have to approach him. He came to me! Really, there's no danger at all. Who would believe a rather odd recruit over two taichou?" Shunsui said with a smile but Juushiro was not the least bit mollified.

"That's not my point! You should have at least invited him over for supper! Seven o'clock is just rude." They typically ate at six. It never took them longer than an hour so Shunsui had deliberately asked Lupe to come over just after supper. His lover looked completely at a loss for a moment.

"…Oh. I, ah, didn't think of that. You want him to join us for supper? I can send him a hell butterfly." He offered. Now that he knew the cadet's unique reiatsu signature that would not be a problem. Juushiro sighed, shaking his head.

"Please do so." He said firmly and Shunsui grinned before calling up a butterfly, speaking a quick message and sending it off. It didn't take long for the acknowledgement to reach them, but that was no surprise. Lupe had to be keenly aware of the fact that he was only a cadet. His spectacular feat had brought him to notice but it would not be entirely comfortable for him. "This should be interesting." Juushiro thought back to Lupe, sitting beside his bed, and felt a small flutter. He was a very attractive young man with his thoughtful eyes and his air of hidden secrets.

"Yes indeed. Although he does have a rather alarming smile when he's angry. It almost reminds me of Unohana's although it's a bit more like that creepy smile Aizen had at the end." Shunsui commented and Juushiro winced. He remembered that all too clearly.

"If it's really like Unohana's smile, he'll be the stuff legends are made of." He joked before their discussion turned to other things. Soon they finished their breakfast before leaving for their Divisions. Juushiro was honestly looking forward to seeing Lupe again.

Creepy smile or not, he was handsome and very interesting.

"How do I look?" Starrk asked, looking at himself in the mirror. He'd come to the Academy with the clothing on his back, which had been quite disreputable. It took a while to save enough, but using his allowance he'd managed to get two sets of real clothing, as opposed to uniforms. What he was wearing right now was a rust colored yukata, decorated with dark brown patterns. The belt was bright yellow silk, providing a pretty contrast. It was second hand so he'd gotten it at quite a reasonable price.

Yeah, yeah, you look fine. Get going or you'll be late. Lilinette said, annoyed, and Starrk smiled as he scooped up his sword and shunpo'd out the door. She was right, he needed to get moving if he didn't want to launch into a flash step that would break the sound barrier.

It didn't take him long to reach the house. Fortunately he'd thought to ask Nanao for directions before he'd left the Eighth Division. The house in question was a pretty little bungalow in a quite expensive part of the Seireitei. Even if he made taichou it was unlikely Lupe would be able to afford to live here. It saddened him slightly because the neighborhood really was beautiful. There were mature trees and houses with real character…

Reaching his target, he knocked firmly on the door and waited. It didn't take long before the door opened and Starrk blinked as he saw Juushiro. Were he and Shunsui…? There were so many things he didn't know. But the white haired taichou smiled and Starrk relaxed a little. He couldn't help it, Juushiro was a very calming presence.

You are too, you know. 'Course, so was Aizen, when people thought he was nice. Lilinette commented and Starrk nodded slightly. He wasn't too surprised. Although that didn't seem to make him any more popular among the cadets. Hey, it doesn't work miracles.

"Lupe! We've been expecting you. Please come in." He said warmly and Starrk nodded, stepping inside. "I apologize if this is a surprise. I'm sure Shunsui didn't mention that we live together."

"No, he did not. But it's a welcome surprise." He said easily and spotted the very faint blush on the taichou's cheeks. This was going to be interesting. He was no stranger to multiple partners. That had been part of his experience with Barragan, in fact. His fraccion had been very involved.

Yeah, I didn't mention that to Aizen. Figured it might stop his heart. Lilinette commented and Starrk couldn't help but smile. The cheerful expression set Juushiro at ease and the white haired taichou showed him to the dinner table. Shunsui was putting out the food, which made his mouth water. From the look of it, someone was an excellent cook. The food at the Academy wasn't bad, exactly, but it was far from inspired. And buying some hadn't made his list of priorities.

"This is wonderful." He said after a mouthful of soba noodles in a delicious, flavorful broth. It was full of carrots, mushrooms and water chestnuts. There was just a touch of spice, piquant on the tongue. Shunsui chuckled as Juushiro smiled.

"You can thank the Golden Lotus restaurant! We decided to get something special for this." He said and Starrk nodded. That made sense. "Do you cook, Lupe?"

"No, sadly." The thought of the Primera Espada visiting the kitchens of Los Noches was laughable. How had Aizen made sure he'd gotten the correct food? The arrancar ate very different rations than the shinigami. Resolving to ask Lilinette later, he smiled at the taichou. "Hopefully someday I'll be able to learn." That sounded like fun.

"It won't be for quite a while. Until you make seated officer, at least." Juushiro observed and Starrk nodded. Regular shinigami lived at the barracks in their Divisions and took all their meals at the mess hall. "Well, unless you find someone to share your life." Couples typically lived in subsidized housing near the barracks. Juushiro's smile was a bit melancholy and Starrk hesitated a moment before shrugging.

"That might happen. I am not exclusive in my attentions." He said quietly and thought he saw a bit of relief in them both. He didn't understand why, though. There were so many things he didn't understand about this place. "Although I will have to work on my courtship skills." He said wryly. Just issuing a proposition wouldn't cut it, clearly. Shunsui laughed, taking a drink of his sake.

"Perhaps I can help you with that." He said cheerfully and Starrk listened, fascinated, as he was given some information on how to approach a woman. He made mental note of some of the tactics… asking a woman if she wanted to go on a walk in a park would not have occurred to him. Such things were quite alien to his hollow upbringing. "But I doubt you came here for help wooing a woman." There was a hint of heat in his voice, a warmth in his eyes that made Starrk feel a great deal of anticipation. He glanced at Juushiro and saw a matching warmth in those brown eyes. "Tell me, Lupe. Are you a virgin?" The question pulled a surprised laugh from him. He quickly tried to control himself, but couldn't help but smile.

"Oh no, I'm not a virgin." Starrk assured him and Shunsui actually seemed a touch disappointed. "I am very… flexible." He murmured before smiling. It was a warm, lustful smile. "One of the few things I can remember clearly is my sexual experiences… I can suggest many things…" There were some odd things that he'd quite enjoyed. Although from the looks on their faces, he doubted they could handle the things he'd learned from Ulquiorra. It was probably better that way… in inexperienced hands, bloodletting and asphyxiation could be deadly.

"Hmm, that is intriguing. Would you object to being bound?" Shunsui asked casually as he ate an egg roll. Juushiro was blushing, Starrk noticed. It was really very cute.

"Not at all." He said easily before trying his own egg roll. It was excellent, full of shrimp and delicate herbs. "I trust the two of you. Bondage involves trust." If it was done voluntarily, at least. Halibel had caught him at a bad moment and hadn't given him a choice. Starrk shivered a little at that pleasant but painful memory before setting it aside.

"Shunsui, I don't think…?" Juushiro said questioningly and Shunsui glanced at him consideringly before shaking his head.

"Well, perhaps not. Besides, I don't have any ropes! A terrible oversight." Shunsui said cheerfully and Starrk laughed. He knew of plenty of other things that could be used, but perhaps now was not the time. And besides…

"I'll see about getting some toys for next time." He said before realizing he'd just assumed there would be a next time. Juushiro blushed as Shunsui regarded him thoughtfully for a moment. Starrk felt his own cheeks heat and directed his attention to his food. It was almost done, there was nothing left but the sweets, little confections of dough, dates and honey. He quickly ate one, trying to distract himself.

"Rather forward, aren't you? I think I like it." Shunsui said musingly before smiling, slowly. "Why don't we take this to the bedroom?" He suggested and Starrk was glad to comply, rising easily from his cushion.

"We've never…" Juushiro started as they reached that private place and Starrk felt a flicker of amusement as he saw Shunsui give his lover a quick, troubled look. He thought that Shunsui had never taken a third into his lovemaking either, despite his surface air of confidence.

"It's not hard." He assured the white haired man, although he knew it wasn't entirely true. If all three of them had been inexperienced this could have been extremely awkward. "Just start with each other, as you usually would. I'll join in." He knew how to do that. He'd done it before, with Nnoitra and Tesra. Juushiro looked relieved that he seemed to know what to do and Shunsui smiled before pulling his white haired lover into a deep kiss. Starrk disrobed as they worked on each other, removing their clothes. They quickly found their way to the bed and Starrk joined them. Although… "Is there anything in particular you don't like?" Thinking about Nnoitra had reminded him of that. Nnoitra couldn't stand to be penetrated, for reasons he refused to discuss. Shunsui had been kissing Juushiro on the throat but he paused, pulling back for a moment.

"Yes… I'm afraid I don't like being on the bottom." He admitted and Starrk nodded. Then Shunsui smiled charmingly. "I honestly thought you were a virgin and it wouldn't come up." He admitted, which made Starrk laugh.

"An innocent young cadet? I could play the role sometime." He said playfully and was pleased with the lustful expressions on both their faces. Then Shunsui went back to Juushiro's throat, making him gasp. Starrk took the time to just examine what they were doing. Theoretically, sex should be a universal constant but after his disastrous attempts to procure it, he wasn't going to assume that anymore.

He was right not to. Starrk was astonished to see that hollows and shinigami clearly made love differently. For hollows, teeth and claws always came into play. Starrk couldn't remember a single time he had come out of a sexual encounter without claw marks on his back and bite marks on his neck. Even Tesra, arguably the most submissive arrancar to exist, still left his marks on Nnoitra. It was how hollows mated.

It wasn't how shinigami mated. Shunsui was treating Juushiro so tenderly… it was honestly like nothing Starrk had ever seen. He wasn't sure he could behave that way but the former Espada was suddenly motivated to try.

Sliding himself into the sexual encounter came as easily as breathing. He was a good gauge of reactions and Shunsui made room for him, letting him explore them both. And the favor was returned, hesitantly at first but slowly growing bolder. Kisses and touches became firmer as they got their measure of each other and Starrk found he was deeply enjoying himself.

The one who was taken first, though, was Juushiro. Starrk gently kissed the white haired shinigami as Kyoraku prepared his lover, using some kind of special gel for lubrication. That was another thing that had been lacking in Los Noches, although several arrancar had eventually discovered a great fondness for it. As Shunsui slid home into his lover, Starrk moved back, sensing that the shinigami wanted to kiss Juushiro. He was right and he watched, fascinated, as they engaged in a loving and intimate kiss. There was no hint of fangs, no tongue war, just a beautiful and loving duet.

Still, Starrk was not going to be left out. Smiling, he moved to behind Kyoraku and ran a finger down his spine before licking him in the hollow of his back. The shinigami arched with a strangled sound and Starrk smiled at the reaction.

"Kami! What are you… doing back there…?" Shunsui sounded like he might be losing his mind and Juushiro was looking over his shoulder, wide eyed. Starrk laughed as he climbed up the other man and felt Shunsui stiffen slightly as his own erection rubbed against him.

"Don't worry. I respect your wishes." He assured the shinigami before kissing the back of his neck. For a moment he paused, just savoring the musk there and the feel of the warm body rutting beneath him. How he loved being part of this.

And despite not being the active participant, he was part of it. Starrk nibbled and licked until he found a spot on Kyoraku's neck that made the shinigami shiver and paused to suck. He was tempted to raise blood, leave his marks, but he held back. Juushiro and Shunsui were showing no signs of biting each other although the white haired man's fingers were digging into Shunsui's shoulders. Still, they were not at all close to drawing blood.

Starrk continued his explorations, pausing at times to watch what Shunsui was doing to Juushiro. The way the white haired taichou's head was flung back, the tiny beads of sweat on his face as he closed his eyes… he was beautiful in his passion. The heavy breathing and the speed of the mating gave Starrk an idea and he licked his lips, deciding that he would do it.

Starrk timed it well. Just as Shunsui and Juushiro reached their climax, he bit Kyoraku sharply on the shoulder. Forcing his reiatsu into the wound, he watched as Shunsui reacted instinctively by pouring more reiatsu into Juushiro, making up for the difference. Juushiro arched from the bed, his mouth opening in a soundless exclamation as the power rippled through him, intensifying his orgasm. Shunsui experienced the same thing, a moment of incredibly powerful pleasure. Starrk just savored the blood and the feel and scent of the two men beneath him, riding out their orgasms.

When the moment was finished, Starrk removed his teeth from the wound before looking at it. It wasn't too bad, just a small mark. Shunsui and Juushiro were both panting, struggling to regain their breath as they basked in the post coital high. Shunsui looked over his shoulder at him, his grey eyes a bit stunned.

"What did you do?" He asked and Starrk smiled at him, trying to ignore the ache between his thighs. After the show they had put on, he was almost painfully aroused.

"Just a little trick. I forced my reiatsu into you as you came." He said easily. Shunsui looked intrigued as Juushiro looked blissful. "I can't do it with everyone. The two of you are strong enough to handle my power. Someone of lesser power can do it to someone greater, but it lacks the 'oomph'." It was still a pleasant experience but not as mind numbing as having an equal or greater power do it. Grimmjow had shown him that trick. He paused to run his hands down Shunsui's sides, making the shinigami shiver. "Now, I hope the two of you aren't exhausted. I would be very disappointed." He said warmly before sliding away. Shunsui laughed, pulling away from Juushiro. He looked up at both of them with a smile before sitting up.

"Oh, we'll give you a good time." Shunsui said and Starrk smiled in pleasure as he suddenly became the focus of their attention. Shunsui kissed him and Starrk submitted instantly, letting the taichou dominate him. Although the kiss was still not as violent as another hollow would give. Even in a kiss, there was usually some blood…

"Shunsui, do you mind if I?" Juushiro asked and Starrk wondered what he was asking for as his mind fogged with lust. The shinigami kissing him pulled back for a moment to look down with a smile.

"I hoped you would." He sounded… wistful? "I regret that I can't." He said and Juushiro smiled at him affectionately.

"I love you just the way you are." He said before suddenly going down on Starrk's erection. The cadet gasped as wet heat enfolded his aching member, tempting him to thrust. He controlled the instinct ruthlessly. Choking his partner was not sexy. Shunsui went back to kissing him and Starrk gripped those broad shoulders as warm, well lubed fingers touched his opening. He spread his legs, mutely begging Juushiro to continue. He understood what was happening here. Juushiro would be the one to take him…

Starrk gasped as Shunsui explored his throat, finding his good spots. That one particular place… Starrk whined involuntarily as a warm tongue found it and Shunsui paused to suck, giving him a full dose of pleasure. The fingers inside him hooked and Starrk jerked as he saw stars. Juushiro had just solved his puzzle box. Along with the heat around his cock it felt delicious.

But it was too much. Too much stimulation and he'd already been aroused… Starrk panted out a warning and Juushiro pulled away, to his relief. Then the shinigami moved up his body as Shunsui moved back, mimicking what he'd done with them earlier. Their eyes met and Starrk saw concern in those warm brown eyes.

"Are you ready for this, Lupe?" Juushiro asked and he couldn't help but laugh. The concern was adorable but…

"I'm dying for it. Please, take me before I explode." He begged, lifting his hips in a wanton gesture. Juushiro blushed lightly before nodding and gripping his hips, sliding home inside him. The sudden intrusion burned but also felt amazingly good, deep and full and right. Starrk moaned as he was kissed, warm lips sealing over his. It was a warm, loving kiss, sweet and tender. He'd never imagined that gentleness could be such a sexual turn-on.

"Oh god." Starrk groaned as Juushiro began to move, taking him in a slow and careful rhythm. Too careful… Starrk opened his eyes, looking at the shinigami with a dazed and lustful gaze. "Harder. Take me… harder…" This was beautiful and arousing but he wanted more, needed more. Juushiro's breath caught and then he was doing what Starrk wanted, speeding his thrusts and taking him more firmly. Starrk cried out as his prostate was stimulated and then he blinked as warm lips caressed his temple. Looking up, he met Shunsui's eyes.

"Kami, you are so beautiful like this." The shinigami said and the lust in his voice made Starrk shiver. Then Juushiro wiped any thought of that away, as he gripped his cock and stroked the hard flesh in time with his thrusts. The sensation of being filled mixed with the feeling of being pumped and Starrk gasped as he was nuzzled, Juushiro whispering sweet nothings in his ear. Shunsui's laughter was sweet as well and Starrk gave himself over to the feelings, letting the two shinigami please him. For their first time with a third, they were good at this…

Tender touches and gentle kisses merged with the intense pleasure inside him, the hard jolts to his prostate. Starrk had to hold back his urge to bite and claw, substituting more gentle contacts. And he loved it. It was strange and new but he loved every moment, loved the strange fluttery feeling it gave him inside. He had never deluded himself into thinking any of the Espada cared about him, but here he almost felt… loved. It was strange, that in the hands of two men who had tried to kill him he would finally feel that way…

Starrk gasped as he felt the pleasure in his belly building, a tingling in his balls that demanded release. Looking at Juushiro he could see the intense pleasure in the shinigami's face and knew he was getting close, too. Wrapping his arms around those shoulders he buried his face in that white hair, mutely begging the shinigami for more. Juushiro seemed to sense the moment and went faster and harder –

Then Starrk felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and cried out as he felt Shunsui's reiatsu enter his body. His body spasmed, creamy cum splattering as the intense pleasure rolled over him. But he was the receiving partner, his power did not enter Juushiro automatically… to make up for that he bit the white haired taichou, forcing the extra power he'd been given into the wound. Juushiro's cry of pleasure, the way his body arched and his cock pulsed, were all wonderful to him. Starrk enjoyed the heat that bathed his core, entering him with quick spurts. That was delicious…

Coming down from his high, Starrk carefully removed his teeth from the bite and winced as he looked at it. He'd been a bit carried away at the end, it was not as delicate as the nip he'd given Shunsui. He licked it apologetically as Juushiro panted, his body trembling and covered in sweat. It took him several moments to collect himself and pull away. Starrk sighed, feeling limp and almost boneless. That had been so good.

"Wonderful. Tell me Lupe, do you want to stay overnight?" Shunsui asked, his voice warm. Starrk stirred, thinking. He was deeply tempted… he sensed there might be morning sex available. But…

"I shouldn't." He said sadly, sliding a hand through white strands. Juushiro looked at him with a warm smile. "Are the two of you hiding your relationship?" He had to ask. He was fairly certain but not entirely. Juushiro's smile turned to an expression of surprise.

"Well, of course." Shunsui sounded confused and also concerned. "Being open about such things is not…" He fumbled for words and Starrk sighed, pushing himself up on one elbow.

"Unfortunately, when I joined the Academy I was unaware of that." He said sadly and saw Shunsui swallow as Juushiro winced. "It would do you no good to be too closely associated with me. If we wish to continue meeting it should, perhaps, be more secretive." No one would think anything of them inviting him over for dinner after how he'd saved Juushiro's life. But if he started to come over regularly rumors might begin to fly.

"I am very sorry to hear that." Shunsui said softly and Starrk met his eyes, feeling an ache deep in his chest. Would this be the first and last time for their lovemaking? He would not blame them if it was. Then Shunsui smiled and gripped his chin, pulling him into a warm kiss. "We'll think of something, eh? I don't think we want this to be the end." He said as he pulled away and Starrk smiled, the pain dissolving into warmth.

"Thank you." He whispered, feeling touched. "But I really should be going." It was getting late and he needed to get back. There was a gentle hug and Starrk turned his head to see Juushiro. The white haired taichou smiled at him, but there was an odd pain in his face and eyes. Starrk smiled at him reassuringly before sitting up and pulling himself out of the bed. He dressed quickly and gathered his zanpakuto. He sensed Lilinette was sleeping and gently shoved her into wakefulness. He would need her, to help avoid any ambushes on his return. Quickly making his goodbye's, he left the house to return to his rooms. He kept his senses alert on the return leg but no one attempted to attack him. Settling into his bed, he immediately went to sleep.

It had been a long and exhausting day.

"…What should we do?" Juushiro said as he held a cup of tea. He was standing at the window, watching the path the cadet had taken back to the academy. His demeanor made him want to cry. Now that he was looking, he saw that Lupe moved like a warrior in enemy territory, constantly scanning and searching for threats. That would let him survive longer than most, but…

"There is nothing we can do but enjoy him while he is here." Shunsui said calmly and Juushiro swallowed, looking down into his tea. "Don't get too attached to him, Juu." The warning in Shunsui's voice… he knew it was good sense. But it made his heart ache.

"It's wrong and it's becoming more common." He said and heard a sigh behind him. It was only the truth though. Situations like this were becoming increasingly common and often ended in a very ugly manner. "There must be something we can do." They had had this discussion before. Warm arms went around him and Juushiro settled against Shunsui, letting his friend and lover comfort him.

"We can't. You know why we can't." He whispered and Juushiro closed his eyes in mental pain. He did know. "It's very sad but we can't help him. You shouldn't even take him into your Division – "

"I'm going to." He said firmly. Even if it was unwise, he was not going to be denied that. "No one will think anything of it after he rescued me. And no one else will want him." The fight they'd anticipated over the young recruit had just evaporated. No one wanted the kind of discipline nightmare that Lupe promised to be. Shunsui sighed, letting go of him and Juushiro turned to look into his face. His lover was smiling wryly, good humor in his face.

"Well, that is true! And I know I cannot convince you. Just be careful, Juu." Shunsui said and Juushiro nodded. The real danger in being found out wasn't on himself, it was on Shunsui. He would not expose his love to more danger.

There was already plenty of danger in being a taichou. They didn't need to add this to it, too.
