"Renji, will you marry me?"
"Ano… taichou… what if they find out, there'll be consequences and what if they-" Byakuya cut him off with a kiss. "Sorry… I was rambling…" Renji apologized sheepishly.
"That's quite alright. There is nothing to worry about; I can handle the elders on my own. All you have to do is consent."
"Heh… you mean I didn't already? Of course I'll marry you, Byakuya! How could I not? You know I love you…"
A small smile tugged at Byakuya's lips. "Oh really? I was under the impression that you were afraid of commitment…"
"Me? Afraid of commitment!" Renji laughed nervously. "I don't know what you're talking about…"
"I don't know Abarai… but I do know that it's either you, or some randomly selected noble woman."
"Ouch taichou… that hurt! Comparing my awesomeness to random noble women is completely unacceptable!"
The Kuchiki noble quirked a brow, "Your 'awesomeness' will have to be subdued, I think…"
Renji pouted. "But that's not something I have control over!"
"Then you're going to have to find some control." Byakuya said, smirking.
"And if I don't want to?"
"Then it will be considered a punishable crime…"
"With kidou ropes? Please… those things don't scare me anymore…"
"No, I meant in the World of the Living…"
"No! Don't make me stay with Kisuke! Anything but that taichou! I'll do anything you want…"
"Quite the submissive man, aren't you Renji?"
"Heh… no… not really… ano… so how is this going to work?"
"As much as I loathe saying the words, if we are to have a secret, but legal marriage, then we are going to have to go to the World of the Living."
"But a human marriage wouldn't be considered legal here…"
"I am well aware of that fact Renji, however, there is a Shinigami currently residing there who is licensed to legally wed us."
"Who?" Renji asked, suddenly getting a creepy mental image of Tessai binding the two of them together for life.
Byakuya fought to hold back a grimace and to say in his normally icy tone. "Yoruichi."
Renji burst out laughing and thought to himself that this was going to be the most priceless thing he'd ever witnessed or been a part of!
A/N: pretty sort, kinda filler… next chapter they'll be in Karakura with Yoruichi… ah… that chapter's going to be fun to write… XD
Review please?
