AN: Chapter three! Not all of these chapters will be continuations of the previous chapters. They may skip forward or around a bit so please bear with me as they are almost more of a collection of my Fem!Yanagi/Sanada ideas than a collaborative story! xD
Yanagi Renji sat at her usual booth in the corner of her university's Starbucks at her usual 10:00pm time, her books spread out in front of her. As she leaned her head against her fist, a hot drink was placed in front of her face. Blinking, she lifted her face to meet Yukimura Seiichi's eyes. He was smiling as always as he spoke softly to her.
"Grande white chocolate mocha, extra whip. Just as you like it." His voice soothed her nerves and she smiled, touching his hand gently before picking the hot beverage up and taking a sip. Sighing in contentment, she sat back in the booth.
"Thank you Seiichi. I needed a break." The blunette nodded as he sat next her, scanning the books she had laid out and scrunching his nose at them as he slung his arm around her shoulders. Renji chuckled softly and sipped her drink again. The pair sat in companionable silence, Yukimura gently rubbing the shoulder beneath his hand. They had become quick friends due to a common denominator and as 10:30 came, said common denominator and Renji's boyfriend of one month, Sanada Genichirou, stepped inside. The raven haired youth quirked an eyebrow at the oblivious pair and smiled as he came up behind them, tugging on Yukimura's hair.
"I would appreciate it if you would refrain from using my girlfriend as your own Yukimura." The pair jumped a bit but Renji giggled as Yukimura stuck his tongue out.
"Well someone had to keep the pretty lady company." He scooted out to sit on the other side of the booth, vacating the spot at Renji's side for the taller male who slid right into it. Yukimura fake gagged as the pair leaned into each other, bumping noses as Sanada cooed something into her ear and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
"God, get a room you two!" Renji smiled at him, light pink dusting her cheeks, and Sanada huffed, leaning back.
"Sorry you have to witness your friends being happy. We'll be sure to keep that to ourselves from now on." Sanada's snarky reply made Renji giggle, her fingers pressing against her lips, as Yukimura stuck his tongue out again. The blunette sighed as someone came in and stood to head to the counter. As he took the order, Sanada turned back to his girlfriend.
"So…" Renji began closing her books, piling them into her backpack as she cocked her head at him.
"So." The raven haired man pulled at his hat nervously.
"I…have something for you. For our one month." Renji paused, watching his awkwardness with a small smile.
"I have something for you too. Shall we leave then?" Sanada nodded and stood, taking her backpack and waving to his friend as they left. They walked, hands linked, until they reached Renji's apartment. Once inside, Sanada sat and watched his girlfriend busy herself with making tea in the small kitchenette. As she settled herself beside him, she passed him a small package, plainly wrapped. He unwrapped it and smiled. In his hands lay a book he had been looking for the past couple of weeks. It was nothing special but the fact that she remembered made him happy. He pressed a kiss to her temple, thanking her, before he excused himself and wandered outside, coming back with a large bouquet of roses. Renji took it, marveling with her brown eyes wide open at the multitude of the colors and their meanings. Meeting his eyes, her smile was wide and shy, one of the smiles she rarely gave because of her elegant composure.
"Genichirou…" He nodded; cupping his hands around her's, he brought the bouquet between them and his deep voice was soft as he gently touched the petals.
"White for purity and innocence because you are pure of mind, body, and emotion and innocent in your enthusiasm and thirst for knowledge. Dark pink for appreciation and gratitude because I appreciate you more than you could know and am grateful that you gave me the chance to be with you. Light pink for admiration because I admire you, your mind, and everything you do. Yellow for friendship because we are friends as well as a couple and that friendship is just as important. Finally, orange for fascination and enthusiasm because you fascinate me to no end and I'm excited to be with you so I promise to give this everything I've got." As these last words left his mouth, the flowers were put out of the way gently so as not to crush them and Renji's lips were on his. Sanada's eyes went wide for a moment before slipping closed, taking in the sweetness of the kiss and gently shifting his hands to rest against her lower back and to cup her jaw gently as his lips moved against hers tenderly. After a minute, Renji pulled away, eyes opening slowly and taking him in. It was the first kiss they had shared somewhere other than the cheek or forehead.
"Genichirou…thank you…" Sanada could only manage a nod, bring his hand up to caress her jaw as they watched each other. Slowly, he leaned in, heart pounding as Renji's eyes slipped closed again and she lifted her head just enough. Their lips met again in a kiss even sweeter than their first. It was just the press of lips against lips, fingers tracing a delicate jaw as one slim hand trails up to rest on a broad shoulder, but to them it was everything. It had only been one month but to them it seemed as if they had been doing this much longer. As it grew even later and the pair snacked on the expensive, hard to find, candies Renji had found for the man, the pair cuddled on the couch, legs tangled as Renji lay against her boyfriend's chest. Feeling the weight of her against his chest and his arms around her body as they lay together, Sanada knew he would always remember the sweet kiss she had given him that marked their first of many firsts together.
