Perfection Chapter 8

It was a fine day, very sunny and warm. The time was 10:00 am, and the date was July 15. The Kurosaki household was bustling with guests. Four very noisy people had descended upon the house, and were chatting away with Karin and Yuzu, who looked extremely intimidated.

"Oooooooooh, you remember Captain Hitsugaya? Wait, you guys were dating, right?" Rangiku excitedly asked an irritated Karin.

"Huh? We weren't! Toshiro just happened to be an amazing soccer player so I made him join our team, that's it!" Karin defended herself.

"It's okay, Karin-chan, Toshiro-kun is a good guy! I support you!" Yuzu said.

"Seriously? I keep on telling you it wasn't-" Karin got cut off by the sound of a door slamming shut. She looked up to see Ichigo coming out from his room rubbing his eyes.

"Will you guys stop making all that noise? It's too damn early!" Ichigo came down, his eyes bleary.

"Oy, dumbass, it's 10:00." Renji stated.

"That's what I said, too damn early! Why the hell are you here anyways?"

"What, you got amnesia or something? Remember that we were supposed to go to the beach? Oh, and happy birthday to you" Ikkaku said. The others wished him too.

"Huh, did I? Wait, it's my birthday? Oh well, I guess...wait, what the fuck are you wearing?" Ichigo facepalmed at Ikkaku's fashion sense. He was wearing a white tee decorated with pink hearts with a furry teddy in the middle. Added to that he wore pants so loose it looked like a skirt, with a sword poking out from the waistband.

"This is what's in fashion in the human world, didn't you know?" Ikkaku said. He apparently didn't realize the true horror of his outfit.

"No use arguing with him, Ichigo. Trust me, I tried. But he has a thick skull." Yumichika said with a sigh.

"Ichigo, get ready, we'll celebrate your birthday at the beach. It'll be your best birthday yet!" Rangiku said.

"I'm fine here, guys.." Ichigo started but was ignored. They obviously wanted to go to the beach.

"Hey, Ichigo, where's Captain?" Renji asked.

"Now that you mention it...HEY, BYAKUYA, YOU UP?" Ichigo yelled.

"Do not yell, Kurosaki Ichigo." Byakuya emerged from his room. And yeah, that hair and face was perfect as always.

"You look so sexy, Captain Kuchiki~" Rangiku sang. Renji stared at her, flabbergasted. Ichigo pouted a bit. He wished he could say that to him too. But Byakuya ignored her. That woman was too much.

"Is there a reason for this gathering?" He asked.

"Yeah, see, apparently we're going to the beach" Ichigo said.

"And it's Ichigo's birthday!" Rangiku piped up.

"I am aware of that" He said to Rangiku.

"Happy birthday, Kurosaki Ichigo, but I do not think it is a very good idea."

"Ehhhhhhhh? But why, Captain Kuchiki?" Rangiku didn't bother to hide her disappointment.

"The hollow might appear as soon as we are gone. Getting Renji's reiatsu back is more important."

"You sure, Byakuya?" Ichigo asked.

"Aww, Ichi-nii will miss seeing Byakuya-san in a swimsuit~" Karin teased.

"S-shut up! Besides, we can always go somewhere else!" Ichigo said, but Karin had hit the hammer right on the nail.

"Yeah! Like the bar! Pretty please? Ichigo can get wasted on his birthday, it'll be his best birthday ever!" Rangiku pleaded with puppy eyes

"Yes, that will be better"

"Again, I'm underage!" Ichigo protested. And getting wasted wasn't exactly what he had in mind for today.

"Don't be silly, Ichigo! You have me! Consider it your birthday gift!" Rangiku winked. She could be relied on for matters like these.

"Shall we leave at 9:00?" Renji asked excitedly. That guy had a thing for bars.

"Yeah, sure, now get out" Ichigo shooed them away, but regretted it as Yuzu came right over to him and started stuffing cake in his mouth as Byakuya watched.

It was 9:00 pm, and they were back and were carrying gifts for Ichigo. Renji had gotten him a photo frame, Rangiku had gotten him a teddy bear, Yumichika gave him a designer tee (God knows where he got the money from) and Ikkaku gave him a sword. Byakuya had already given Ichigo his gift, which was a small cherry blossom tree carved in pink and brown crystal. Ichigo had also gotten gifts from his family, Inoue, Ishida and Chad and was at a loss for space to keep them.

This time, Ikkaku, thankfully, was wearing a white jacket with black pants which obviously Yumichika had forced him to wear, judging from the smug look on his face. Ichigo had managed to persuade Byakuya to wear a black leather jacket with slim fit pants with his hair with his hair in a loose ponytail with strands coming out to frame his perfect face, and was regretting it heavily. He looked too damn sexy, and random women would swarm around him all night long.

"Captain, Ichigo, shall we go?" Renji asked, his eyes shining excitedly.

"Yeah. YUZU, KARIN, I'M LEAVING!" He yelled over his shoulder, closing the door. Isshin was out so Ichigo didn't have to worry about him.

Turns out Rangiku was friends with the bouncers, and they let them pass without even checking ID's or whatever else they did. They all went in and scavenged for seats in the filled bar. The bartender, a pretty, busty woman, scooted right over to them and smiled warmly at Ichigo and Byakuya and asked them what they wanted. They placed their orders and she left.

"Ooh, Captain Kuchiki, Ichigo, you guys sure are very popular!" Rangiku whispered and pointed towards a group of giggling and blushing and obviously drunk women who were staring unabashedly at them. Ichigo frowned and turned away, but Byakuya continued to observe them. This emboldened two women from the group and they came to chat up Byakuya and Ichigo. They tried to make small talk, but Ichigo was obviously pissed and Byakuya was curt so they trooped back searching for other sexy men to prey upon. Ichigo called for more and more drinks, being cheered on by Rangiku. They drank and chatted (more appropriately, Rangiku and Renji talked) for over two hours. Now, they were all a little red faced (except Rangiku, that woman sure could hold her liquor, and apparently Byakuya because he was acting normal.) Ichigo had gotten more frowny, Yumichika was smiling and sparkling away, Ikakku was taking fashion tips from Yumichika, Byakuya just sat in silence, and Renji was giggling at Rangiku's jokes.

"Kurosakiii Ichigo, you are a strawberry but orange in colour. I do not like discrepancies." Byakuya stated. Wait, what the heck? Was he drunk? His speech slurred a bit too...

"So true, Captain!" Renji giggled. This was just great. Two crazy drunk people to drag home.

"You, Renji, are a pineapple, but red. I do not like you either." Byakuya declared. What the hell was this guy saying?

"Noooo, don't say that, Captain~" Renji broke out in giggles. Ichigo looked round for help. Rangiku was busy flirting, and Ikkaku was- wait, was that Yumichika sitting on his lap? Yeah, they couldn't be interrupted. He too felt a little light-headed, he'd better return home before he got too drunk. He turned towards Byakuya, who was surrounded by women. Ichigo too, had too fight off many clingy women trying to get laid, but Byakuya was in no state to ward them off. He felt a pang of jealousy seeing the women trying to flirt with his Byakuya.

"Come on, Byakuya, let's go home" He dragged Byakuya away from the disappointed women.

"Rangiku-San, Renji's over there drunk, can you drop him off?" Ichigo asked Rangiku.

"Sure thing, Ichigo!" She said and turned back to flirt with some guy who had been eyeing him suspiciously.

"Byakuya, we're leaving, can you walk?"

"Do not underestimate me, Kurosaki Ichigo" Byakuya replied, and stumbled.

"Yeah, I'm sure I'm not" Ichigo said. They headed off towards home.

"Oy, Byakuya, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Ichigo asked. Byakuya had opened his leather jacket and discarded it on the road and was currently trying to unbutton his shirt as well.

"It's hot, Kurosaki Ichigo." He said matter-of-factly.

"Don't strip, you dumbass!" Ichigo said, panickedly, picking up the discarded jacket. Byakuya stopped trying to take off his own shirt and started opening Ichigo's instead.

"What the- Stop!" Ichigo grabbed Byakuya's hand. Byakuya stared into Ichigo's eyes. Ichigo's grip loosened. Byakuya freed his hand, grabbed the back of Ichigo's head and kissed him. His tongue entered Ichigo's warm mouth and ravaged it. Byakuya tasted of liquor. Ichigo liked it. It matched that intoxicated feeling he got whenever they kissed. Ichigo forgot that they were on the sidewalk in plain view of people and surrendered to the kiss. It was only when they broke apart that Ichigo realised what they'd done and pulled Byakuya home silently, only occasionally stopping to prevent Byakuya from stripping himself or Ichigo.
