"My best defense
Running from you
Cost me everything
I can't resist
Take all you want from me
Breaking slowly..." Already Over by Red

"There are only two mistakes one can make along the road to truth; not going all the way, and not starting." Buddha

Chapter 13; A samurai with a duck, and a Fool.

"Ichigo..." Byakuya's smoky eyes flutter down to Ichigo's soft pink lips; the small space between them seems like miles to Byakuya.

"What!"

"I-I'm going to kiss you, alright?"

"It's about damn time." Ichigo whispers, suddenly sensitive to the change in Byakuya's voice and breathing.

"You have no idea." Byakuya tugs Ichigo against his chest, pressing his starved lips against the damp parted ones waiting for him. Threading his hands into the soft orange hair, the dark haired noble holds Ichigo close to him. Ichigo loses his footing under the shifting weight only to be lifted up by Byakuya with one arm. Byakuya drags the shinigami into the adjacent room and shuts the door behind him.

"Oi! I can walk you know!" Ichigo's legs flail about, dangling in Byakuya's strong grip. "You are acting like you haven't seen me in-"

"Fifteen days, thirteen hours, and fifty-six minutes." Byakuya starts taking his clothes off after tossing Ichigo on the bed like a stuffed animal. "Undress."

"Was I asleep that long?" Ichigo looks at his wrist and frowns at his missing watch. "I was having the strangest dream."

"Undress faster." Byakuya is almost naked, wearing a long thin pair of white cotton pants with a draw string.

"Some big samurai dude was following me holding a duck. He kept repeating the same thing over and over."

"Don't make me get my sword, Kurosaki."

"No he said, 'Wake up... I need to explain.'" Ichigo drops his socks and shoes on the hardwood floor then struggles with his many layers of clothing. "It was weird don't you think? I mean most people would have been scared shitless of a big samurai chasing them down, but I didn't feel afraid of him at all."

"Scatter, Senbonzakura." Byakuya turns his sword blade, watching the petals glow with his reiatsu.

"Oi! What the hell are you doing!" Ichigo panics, trying to make a run for it.

"Don't move." Byakuya's deep voice thunders in irritation. Ichigo stops dead in his tracks, shuts his eyes and listens as the pink petals cut into his clothing.

"You could have killed me." Ichigo peeks through one eye, finding all his clothes shredded on the floor.

"Ridiculous, you were in no danger." Byakuya sits on the large futon, motioning with his long index finger for Ichigo to join him. "If I have to I'll take you right there against the door. I warn you though, I doubt the door will support both of us."

"Y-you wouldn't do that..." Ichigo looks at him in disbelief, his brown eyes blinking at the thin smile stretching across Byakuya's normally serene face. "...right?"

"Willing to try it?" Byakuya's expression changes to deadpan serious; his steel gray eyes look at Kurosaki without flinching.

"U-um, I don't know how to answer that question." Ichigo says with his hand behind him, touching the round ring handle of the door.

"Answer yes or no, it's simple, Ichigo." Byakuya rises from the bed, his toned bare chest drawing Ichigo's attention. The loose white cotton slacks sagging around his lean waist, almost defying gravity by staying around his hips. "Ichigo...an answer."

"U-um," Ichigo, still focusing on the pants has completely forgotten the question. "Yes?" Ichigo's eyes flick up to see Byakuya's eyebrow arch up.

"Alright but, remember you agreed to it." Byakuya walks over to Ichigo, grasping his hands and pressing them against the door.

"W-wait! Maybe I meant no? It had to be no, right?" Ichigo mutters nervously facing the exit. He feels Byakuya's hair graze against his shoulder then his lips slowly kiss a thin damp path along his spine. His head lowers toward the door in surrender to the burning desire building inside his blood. Shutting his amber eyes, Ichigo's body turns hot. Byakuya's cool hands slip around his hips, surrounding Ichigo's suddenly growing hardness. "Ah!" Ichigo reacts, arching his back and leaning his weight on the door.

"Careful." Byakuya's right hand slides up Ichigo's manhood, gathering up the fluid from the tip. "If you break the door..." The coated finger presses into Ichigo's warm backside.

"Ah!" Ichigo moans sharply, the door creaking in response. Byakuya's long finger begins to move, the pressure and friction sending a wave of pleasure throughout Ichigo's body.

"Someone will see." Byakuya leans over his submissive partner, planting tiny kisses on his upturned jaw with every motion of his hand. "Unless, you would enjoy that?"

"Bas-Ah!" Ichigo feels Byakuya's erection slide into him, forcing him forward. His orange hair brushing the navy blue wallpaper covering the door.

"I've missed being inside you, Ichigo." Byakuya whispers in Ichigo's ear as he begins pumping his hips in long deep thrusts. The steady rhythm forces Ichigo's head to bang into the door. "Did you miss me?"

"Ah!" Ichigo groans; the building pleasure begins to travel heating his groin like fire.

"Tell me, did you miss me pressing my-"

"Yes!" Ichigo replies quickly, his chest heaving for breath from their bodies crashing together.

"Did you touch yourself, and think of me?" His hands grab onto Ichigo's hips pulling him onto his cock harder.

"You Bas-!" Byakuya bites at Ichigo's ear pushing deep inside him and holding still. Ichigo's toes curl in ecstasy, his sudden orgasm makes him weak in the knees. "Yes!" Byakuya feels Ichigo tremble around him making him lose control coming with him.

Ichigo is sitting on the floor next to the bed when Byakuya enters after his bath. The dark-haired shinigami blue eyes watch him carefully, his mind full of concerns about the future. Byakuya has never been the type to share his feelings, or even his thoughts with anyone; mostly due to the fact that he has been alone for a long time. Plus, he is introverted on a grand scale, which doesn't help him have a normal relationship. He just left him standing in that secret place alone without so much as a glance. Byakuya realizes all these factors, and is puzzled to the bone why Ichigo let him touch him again.

During Kurosaki's coma he had convinced himself the feelings they shared were just a fluke; brought on by stress, or repressed sexual desire. Byakuya knows that's bullshit, and as he walks by the man sitting on his floor, he resists the urge to touch his hair, for fear of surrendering the last bit of self-preservation inside him. Instead he tosses his bath towel over Ichigo's head before sitting on the bed.

"Hey, Byakuya..." Ichigo tugs the damp towel off his head and wipes his face off with it. Ichigo smells Byakuya's strange, floral, sweet fragrance on the towel. "Just say it you wuss, and get it over with!"

"Hmm?" Byakuya notices Ichigo's eyes tilt to the ground and his right hand snake up into the orange hair he is so famous for. "Here it comes. The 'it's not you it's me' speech. You are a fool Byakuya, a fool to think someone will accept you for who you really are. You are the cold unfeeling bastard everyone believes you to be."

"I-I want to tell you something." Ichigo shifts his weight to lean on the large fluffy futon Byakuya is sitting on with his back so straight it looks painful.

"I understand, Kurosaki. I'll be fine." Byakuya stands up to walking to the door, biting the inside of his cheek.

"Why… are you going? What do you understand?"

"That it's over."

"Whoa! Over? Wait a minute!" Ichigo reaches out, grabbing Byakuya by the wrist. "Why?" Byakuya pulls back defensively. "Talk to me!"

"What for?" Byakuya looks at Ichigo's blazing eyes, and immediately regrets it, closing his own.

"Don't you dare do that!" Ichigo jerks Byakuya back inside the room and shuts the door. "Don't you shut me out without hearing what I have to say."

Byakuya blinks, shocked at Ichigo's outburst.

"That's what you do to everyone when you hear something you don't like. Well, if you are ending this then you will listen to what I have to say. What I was gonna say to you was… I don't care if what Renji said was true!" Ichigo's voice gets louder with every sentence, his heart pounding away the sting of Byakuya's rejection.

"It was true." Byakuya calms himself, struggling to give Ichigo a cool reaction.

"I knew it was true!" Ichigo's hands curl into fists. "You would have flat denied it. I know you, and you have too much pride to allow someone to lie about you."

"Then why would you...?" Byakuya's voice dies away as he makes eye contact with him. "...let me touch you?"

"I told you." Ichigo points his finger at him. "I know you, Kuchiki Byakuya, you spend almost every moment of everyday fulfilling responsibilities for everyone else. Only once did you ever do something for yourself."

"Hisana."

"It didn't matter what anyone said. You wanted her." Ichigo puts his hand on the gold ring to leave. "I've said what I wanted to say."

"Ichigo." Byakuya's words barely escape his lips, the tightness of his chest chokes at his voice.

"I thought you were done with me?" Ichigo's brown eyes look at Byakuya, his hand still on the exit.

"I... want... you."
