Renji loosens the scarf around Byakuya's neck accessing it more. Standing behind him, He sank his teeth into the soft colorless skin as he strokes Byakuya's cock in his hand. He deeply whispers "I love you" once more as his fingers rub across the head of Byakuya's penis squeezing it in a pulsing rhythm. Byakuya grips the edges of the office desk that Renji has him pinned in between, slightly bent over.

"AAAh." He is ready to release. Renji strokes Byakuya's erect member faster as he uses his other to tease Byakuya's pink nipples.

"Do you love me?" Its here again. The scary sound of thin ice cracking. Those words have been breaking his dignity ever since Renji first entered him. One more step and Renji would fall right into Byakuya's heart.

"Aarrrggh Enough." Byakuya wiggles and tries to shake off the pleasure. "Were out of ink. I shall retrieve some." Renji just wasted the last of it on a frivolous mistake he created just before sexing his captain.

He continues to lick and nip at his neck disregarding his comment. Byakuya shivers as he explodes into Renji's hand. He lifts his cum drenched fingers into his mouth and sucks on them hard. "Mmmm....still taste sweet." He mumbles into Byakuya's ear.

His face turns a shade of pink as he screams "Baka!! don't do that!!" Renji hugs him close.

"You know you never answered my question." Byakuya's heart begins to beat faster.

"Never-mind the question I need to retrieve the ink." Avoidance is his best weapon.

"Wait just a little more." Renji pushes him down onto the desk again. "Do you love me?" He says while pressing his arousal between Byakuya's legs. Byakuya turns over and moves closer to Renji's face. He swirls his tongue into Renji's mouth passionately.

"Work must be done, I'll tell you if you finish." This simple piece of hope causes Renji to release his superior. "

I'll be waiting." He says sadly as he plops in his desk chair, watching Byakuya walk away.

Renji has been noticing that he avoids it quite often. That night Renji considered the possibility Byakuya didn't hear him before he drifted off to sleep. Thus he repeated it the next morning but still nothing, nothing but silence. Renji assumed he and Byakuya would be in a lover's bliss by now but he's not even sure if they are lovers. One minute Byakuya has the superior persona on and scolds him for little things and the next they would be posted on the wall, groping and kissing one another. It is a vicious cycle that has developed since their first sex encounter. Renji only entered him once but the way things were going it didn't seem like he would have another chance. Renji shook himself from the daze as he awaits Byakuya's return.

"Ink huh?" this something he wouldn't normally do but you have to count your blessing he thought. He looks around the office room. There were so many memories held there now. Some good, some bad and some naughty. He slouches back into the chair and closes his eyes for a few seconds. A little more slacking off wouldn't kill him he smirks. Then his senses heightened as he smells cherry blossom. A smile came across his face as he turns to see the person entering the room. "Any luck finding ink?" He turns his head around. "Matsumoto-kun? What do you want now?" His daily nuisance had arrived. She began to annoy him day by day. One day she would need a paint brush and the next she'd be blabbing about herself. All the while trying to place her breast in his face. She had an exclusive nack for popping up while Byakuya's was out in the captains meetings.

"You promised me you'd go drinking with me remember?" She stood with her arms folded

"Umm." Renji scratched his head I still have work to do." He used his usual excuse.

"Not anymore. I ran into Kuchiki-taichou. He told me to tell you're finished for the night. He would come and fix anything else." Rangiku moves closer towards Renji. "So now you must pay up because you promised." She places her hand on his chest as she comes face to face with him. Renji backs away with a raised eye brow

"Okay...fine...whatever lets go." She lead the way to the local sake tavern.

Their they joined Ikkaku, Yumichika, Hinamori, Rukia and oddly enough Yachiru. Renji took a seat on the firm pillows and completed the circle of gathering friends. He has been so lost in his own world with Byakuya the he forgotten he has friends. Rangiku fills his cup till the rim as he took on his first drink. He leans side ways and looks at Rukia and Hinamori closely as they pour something into Yachiru's cup.

"Are you guys crazy?! She is a child for crying out loud. What do you think Kenpachi-taichou would do to you if he knew you let his little fukutaichou drink?" Hinamori slaps both her hands over his loud mouth trying to hush him. She silently whispers "It just herb tea with a sleep supplement but she doesn't know that. Do you seriously want to tell the cute pink haired demon fukutaichou that it's not? I'm sure her wrath will leave you with more then a hang over." Hinamori releases her fingers from Renji's lip

"oh." He replies feeling a bit anxious as he looks down at her while she's peeking into her cup. He pulls himself back over to Rangiku in fear of Yachiru finding out the dark secrets to her "sake".

After a few drinks in they find themselves having good conversation and enjoying the laughs. Yet Renji still can't break away from his puzzled relationship with his captain. He looks across the mini table to Ikkaku and Yumichika being huddled together, why couldn't they be like that? He wonders.

"Why the long face Renji-kun?" A drunken Rangiku climbs up his arm.

"Nothing." Renji switches sitting positions as he sulks.

"o0oh Renji-kun I'm sure I can make it better." Rangiku grips his kimono top and licks his top lip.

"What the hell Mastusmoto-kun?" Renji pushes her off. "Don't you get it! I'm not interested! I already have a special someone!" Renji decides enough is enough. He has better things to worry about instead of her whore-ish ways. Rangiku gets up slaps him in the head and storms out.

"You could have let her down easier you know!" Rukia yells at him while she and Hinamori chase after her with Yachiru in arms.

"Yeah Right." Ikkaku joins in. He finally remove the sake bottle from his mouth to speak his peace. "She needed the wake up call." He looks across at the remorseful Renji. "Don't worry about her. You look like yo have enough on your mind." He chugs some more sake and passes it to the body of Yumichika.

"You have no idea." He knocks back his last cup of sake. "I envy the relationship you have with your special someone." He gazes at what seems to be the perfect couple.

"Its not all smiles and sunshines. Sometimes I think this little guy wants to seriously kill me when we get into arguments."

"I thought you would admire that about him." Renji and Ikkaku both look at the nodding Yumichika. They share a snicker as they watch him dose into a deeper sleep but refuses to let the sake bottle go then Ikkaku licks the corner of Yumichika's mouth retrieving a drop of sake left.

"I'm going to kill myself if I keep watching you two." Renji seriously sulks.

"What's the problem?" Ikkaku seems sincerely concerned.

"I don't know what I'm doing with my special somebody. I tell 'em I love 'em and they don't respond. I don't know what to do."

"Have you tried force?" That always works for us..." Ikkaku looks down at Yumichika "...but also be prepared for a fight." He chuckles.

"Force huh?" The drunken Renji thinks of how that could go in his favor; after all he did have to force him to sleep with him. He looks at Ikkaku who is lifting Yumichika into his arms.

"Take the body and the heart will follow. In the meantime we'll be going. Gotta get him to bed." Ikkaku carries him off into the night.

Renji heads back to the office in the hopes of seeing his beloved captain finishing up work on this late night but once he arrives there. He notices he is all by himself. So he does the usual, He climbs on top of the roof and let his thought process take over. It wasn't long before he drifts off to sleep. Then something interrupts him. He peeks under the roof and inside the open door to see a still drunken Rangiku placing a note on his desk. He jumps down and enters the office, she screams as he scares her.

"What are you doing here?" Renji questions nicely.

"I wrote you something. I didn't expect you to be here though." She leans and hiccups. He catches her in his arms. "I'm soo sorry. "She slurred her words.

"No need to apologize I'm the one thats sorry." He comforts her. "I shouldn't have let you get the wrong idea.

"No, No I shouldn't have tried to force you." She buries her face in his kimono.

"Maybe you need some sleep. Should I take you home?"

"No need." She does off in his arms.

"Ah man." Renji sighs

Next Morning-

Byakuya's eyes open wide and his nostrils flare at the sight he is seeing. Rangiku had her oversized breast on Renji's chest while they were sleeping. Renji's also had his arms wrapped around her back, They both were snoring lightly and seemingly smiling. Byakuya slams the shoji door shut. He walks down the hall and away from the horrid scene, he could not believe it. In a way he knew this would happen but not so soon and to think he was beginning to trust the man that held him. What happened to all those words that Renji were spewing last night? It had only been a few hours and he is already in the arms of a woman. Byakuya cursed himself. How could he be foolish enough to want to tell Renji that he loved him too?
